In the Canterloo Duchy, after a series of defeats, the Elf Army had encircled the city.
Just as they were about to capture the Royal City and show the world the might of the Elf Army, they received the appalling news of their allies’ crushing defeat.
“What happened on the eastern front?
What kind of battle were those fools from the Ancient Heritage Alliance fighting?”
The Forest Elf Queen asked, bewildered.
Just a few days earlier, the information she had received indicated that the Ancient Remnant Allied Army had an absolute advantage and the Augustusburg Defense Line was about to fall.
She never expected the situation to turn so swiftly.
A moment’s inattention, and a great victory turned into a severe defeat.
“Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Alpha has sent troops.
According to the message from the front, Marshal Hudson of the Alpha Kingdom personally led The Hundred Thousand Army, marching two hundred miles to launch a night raid on the Alien Coalition Army.
At that time, the Alien Coalition Army had just stormed into Augustusburg Fortress, with the main force engaged in fierce battle within the city.
By the time they realized what had happened, the camp had already fallen into the enemy’s hands.
They could only hastily retreat from the city to meet the enemy, resulting in a crushing defeat!

No sooner had the elder finished speaking than the face of the Elf Queen turned green with fury.
It was bad enough that their allies were defeated, but even the Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
That was the Mage Corps, with over twenty Eighth-order Great Sorcerers, and even the weakest among them was a Fifth Order Warlock.
They had carefully selected this group not only to provide Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
They thought that the Mage Corps would be safe with the Army’s protection and that this would be nothing more than a leisurely tour at the government’s expense, but reality proved them wrong.
“Is everyone in the Ancient Heritage Alliance a fool?
They don’t even know to retreat after defeat?
No, that can’t be right.
Shaman Romo is prudent and experienced.
He would certainly lead his troops to retreat in the face of danger.
Something must have happened!”
The Elf Queen said angrily.
“The inner workings of the Ancient Heritage Alliance are too chaotic; each species only reports back to their own.
The information we have gathered is incomplete, and we can’t clarify the details for the time being.
However, it’s very likely that our people failed to retreat because they were intercepted by Human Race masters.
The leader of their forces, Commander Hudson, is himself one of the Continent’s top Strongmen.
His actual strength has always been a mystery, but it is certain that he has a Giant Dragon suspected to be the Dragon King and a Sanctuary’s Giant Bear at his side.
He made his name in the last war between the Orcs and the Human Race, where he stabilized the situation for Moxi Duchy and the Kingdom of Alpha several times.
Since his debut, Hudson has been in countless major battles and has not lost a single one.
It is said that he employs troops in a most cunning way, impossible to fathom, and he especially excels in turning the tables against stronger forces.”
After listening to the elder’s explanation, the Forest Elf Queen also bristled.
A top Strongman of the Continent good at conducting troops indeed made for a comprehensive Commander.
Facing such an enemy, many tactics would not work.
For instance, the most intimidating forbidden spell from the Elf Mage Group could not be cast.
To use a forbidden spell, they would need to bring in Sanctuary Powerhouses.
Only these beings who have comprehended the rules can cast spells without being disturbed and suffering backlash.
Of course, this only applies to regular forbidden spells.
If they were to cast something beyond their own power, any interference could lead to immediate backlash.
“The Fourth Dragon Knight of the Continent, his reputation has long preceded him, yet I’ve never had the chance to meet him.
If I had the opportunity to encounter him on the battlefield, I would indeed like to see whether this Dragon Bear Knight is more formidable or my…”
As she spoke, a surge of fighting spirit emanated from the Elf Queen, the intense pressure causing the nearby Elf Maids to retreat repeatedly.
Fortunately, this didn’t last long, as the Elf Queen reined in her aura, regaining her usual grace as if nothing had happened.
