Chapter 231: The Eve Of The Decisive Battle! Empress Andry Who Visited Late At Night
Five days later.
All the noble families of the empire have gathered in the imperial city of Zidra.
The nobles are leading their respective armies to the training grounds in formation.
Then,
Emperor Kukaen, dressed in dark golden battle armor, walked up to the highest platform in the training grounds, surrounded by a group of royal knights.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
On the training grounds,
Everyone bowed in unison.
Emperor Kukaen waved his hand in acknowledgement.
With a heavy and solemn gaze, he scanned the nobles and soldiers below.
"Everyone, our Kukaen Empire has been established for over eight thousand years...
"A few years ago, we made a pact with the four major empires to jointly attack the Orc Empire... But now, those four empires shamelessly betrayed the alliance treaty and invaded our Kukaen Empire.
"Now our Kukaen Empire is facing a life-or-death situation...
"Do you dare to join me in facing the enemy?"
Emperor Kukaen's voice seemed to possess a certain kind of magic.
In an instant, it stirred the emotions of everyone present.
Passionate blood surged from their hearts.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Millions of people shouted in unison.
Their fighting spirit soared, echoing through the sky.
After the pre-war mobilization was completed,
Emperor Kukaen gave the order.
The super-sized teleportation gate leading to the border opened.
One by one, the soldiers marched in an orderly manner.
Several hours later,
Everyone arrived at the border province of Rode, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the imperial camp.
The Rode province borders the territories of the Andri Empire and the Siloco Empire.
It is the main battlefield of this war.
After a day of rest,
Then,
Under Emperor Kukaen's command,
The support army joined forces with the frontline army and launched an attack on the Andri Empire.
He wanted to eliminate the remnants of the four major empire coalition forces before the enemy reinforcements arrived.
To alleviate the pressure of the subsequent war.
In order to achieve this goal,
Emperor Kukaan has almost deployed all his forces.
In this situation,
Even Rennes, as a semi-god powerhouse, often needs to personally join the battle.
Facing the crazy onslaught of the Kukaan Empire's army,
The four major imperial coalition forces stationed at the border of the Andri Empire suffered heavy losses.
In less than a week,
The four major imperial coalition forces were defeated by the Kukaan Empire's army.
Except for a few semi-gods who managed to escape,
Nearly tens of millions of soldiers were annihilated.
After dealing with the four major imperial coalition forces, Emperor Kukaan did not intend to withdraw his troops.
Instead, he continued to advance.
Invading and capturing territories within the Andri Empire.
Obviously,
This emperor intends to bring the war to the land of the Andri Empire.
To retaliate against the invasion of the Andri Empire.
However,
The Andri Empire is not to be trifled with.
Its national strength is much stronger than the declining Kukaan Empire.
They quickly mobilized soldiers to fight against the Kukaan Empire's army.
And firmly block and restrict them in the border area.
Seeing that they couldn't gain much advantage,
Emperor Kukaan decisively withdrew his troops and returned to the province of Rod.
While waiting for the arrival of the War Church.
The Andri Empire's army did not pursue them either.
They were left alone to face the Kukaan Empire's army.
Even if they could win, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
They didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Kukaan Empire,
Becoming the second declining empire.
Both sides didn't want to fight and chose to temporarily cease fire.
The battlefield rarely calmed down.
In this standoff,
Soon, five days had passed.
The support troops from the three major empires arrived one after another.
They joined forces with the Andri Empire's army to form a new four major imperial coalition.
Their overall strength was more than ten times stronger than the previous coalition forces.
And the support from the War Church has arrived.
The newly appointed War Archbishop led the Great Imperial War Priests and appeared in the barracks of the Kukaan Empire's army.
Both sides are preparing for an attack in full swing.
Preparing for a decisive battle.
A battle to determine the outcome.
In such a tense atmosphere of war.
Time passes bit by bit.
After the war meeting concluded.
Rennes returned to his residence to rest.
Just as he entered.
Rennes discovered the presence of an unidentified person in his room.
It seemed that the person knew that Rennes had already noticed them.
This unfamiliar presence no longer concealed their traces.
The void fluctuated like the surface of water.
A woman wearing a black magic cloak walked out from it.
"Isabella?"
Seeing the appearance of this woman.
Rennes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
He never expected.
The person who appeared in his room was none other than Empress Andri, whom he had met before.
You see.
Currently, the Andri Empire and the Kukaan Empire are enemies.
This Empress Andri infiltrated the Kukaan Empire's army alone.
If she were to be discovered,
She would probably not survive.
"I wonder what business Her Majesty the Empress has with me in the middle of the night?"
Regaining his senses, Rennes couldn't help but curiously ask.
Venturing into the enemy's camp and appearing in his room.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Clearly.
This Empress came specifically for him.
"I hope you can join the Andri Empire."
In response to Rennes' inquiry.
Isabella didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.
This is her second attempt to recruit Rennes.
The first time was a perfect opportunity, witnessing Rennes effortlessly slay the ancient red dragon, and discovering his formidable combat power, I wanted to win Rennes over to my side.
This time.
She wanted to quickly take down the Kukahn Empire.
As the Grand Duke of the Kukahn Empire, a semi-divine powerhouse.
If Rennes were to betray us in the final battle, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the Kukahn Empire's army.
At that time.
The balance of victory and defeat would completely shift towards the four major empire alliance.
With this significant contribution.
The Andrei Empire would naturally reap the greatest benefits from this feast of dividing the Kukahn Empire.
"I wonder what conditions Her Majesty the Queen is willing to offer me?"
Understanding Isabella's intention, Rennes did not directly refuse as he did before.
After all.
He couldn't bear to stay in the Kukahn Empire any longer.
Last time, the Kukahn Emperor blamed him for the failure of the war.
It made him feel extremely cold.
Although the Emperor secretly gave him many good things to appease him.
But Rennes's intuition told him that the Southern Kukahn Emperor had developed a sense of fear towards him.
After all.
His strength had progressed too quickly.
Posing a serious threat to the rule of the Kukahn Empire's royal family.
The struggle for power was extremely cruel.
If it weren't for the sudden war.
The Kukahn Emperor would definitely continue to suppress his development momentum.
And even resort to some extreme measures.
In this situation.
Continuing to be loyal to the Kukahn Empire's royal family, wouldn't that be foolish?
Seeing that Rennes did not refuse her recruitment.
Isabella's eyes brightened, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
She immediately stated her conditions.
"As long as you are willing to join the Andrei Empire, I can promise you a noble title and three provinces as your fiefdom."
"In addition to marrying the eldest princess of the empire, you can freely choose ten other outstanding princesses to bring home..."
The first recruitment attempt failed.
After returning to the Andrei Empire, she had someone investigate Rennes.
Naturally, she knew about Rennes's preference for beautiful women and his special fetish for having children.
That's why.
She specifically offered ten outstanding princesses as a bargaining chip to recruit Rennes.
