a……
In the military camp in the southeastern part of the continent of Erathia, where more than a thousand soldiers are entrenched and the gryphon flag with blue background and gold edge is hung high, in the largest tent, Queen Catherine is frowning and looking at The cowhide topographic map of the Kingdom of Erathia spread out on the ground in the middle of the tent was in a daze. There were many wooden figures and houses carved on it to represent the situation of the enemy and ourselves, as well as the situation of some major towns on the Erathia continent. .
At this time, the terrible and shocking signs of the situation between the enemy and ourselves above made her and the generals around her who were also frowning feel extremely worried! Because, so far, through the investigations of the generals and scouts she sent out and the various intelligence reports fed back through various channels, they have been able to roughly guess the extent of the current fall of the Kingdom of Erathia.
Even though there is still relatively little information being fed back now, and even if it has only been about twenty days since they landed on the continent of Erathia, she can easily see based on the current information that the situation is really not optimistic! As of today, there are basically no places on the human side of the Kingdom of Erathia that are ruled by a certain lord and established to resist invasion. Therefore, on the map displayed in front of them, each one The towns and strongholds that are extremely important to Erathia are all marked with the marks of Negan or Ofer, and what belongs to Erathia is only the small area of Kaliad City where they landed. …
In short, the situation was very bad, much worse than what she could have guessed and estimated when she first landed in Erathia.
However, no matter how bad the situation is, they will always continue!
After all, since she has come to Erathia and since she has chosen to rebuild the country, she must not watch Negan and Orver's demons wreak havoc on her homeland and slaughter the people who enslaved her, nor can she bear to watch it. Seeing the land that gave birth to her and raised her sink, she couldn't let her father, King Griffin, die tragically. Then the huge kingdom was occupied by demons like Negan and Orph who were suspected of being behind the scenes! !
And just when Queen Catherine and the generals were at a loss what to do about the current very bad situation and didn't know what to do next or where to start to break through this passive situation that was very unfavorable to Erathia, suddenly, A guard strode in from outside the tent.
'Report! '
'queen! A griffin knight came outside. He claimed to be a messenger who came from the city of Kalliad overnight. He came here specially to deliver the good news to you! ! '
The guard said excitedly.
Obviously, for these soldiers who are fighting on the land of Erathia but running into obstacles everywhere, the thing they want to hear most right now is probably the word 'good news'! Therefore, after seeing the soldier who was somehow able to ride that ferocious griffon to report and hearing what the other party said, he hurried in to report.
"Gryphon Knight? Good news?"
"Ah!"
Catherine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard the word 'good news'. However, she quickly came back to her senses and smiled, not taking it too seriously.
"Let him in!"
"I want to see what else surprises me in Kalliad City?"
Presumably, a certain little guy does have some skills. She must have beaten away the invading Negans, and then hurriedly sent people to come to her to ask for credit, right?
She knew that the little guy's spells were indeed quite powerful. Those Negan's demons must have suffered a big loss at the hands of the other party, right? Of course, the other party’s hiring fee was also very high, which almost made her vomit blood! However, if the other party can keep the important landing port and the small town of Kaliyad for her when she returns to Kaliyad in a month, then maybe the money is not spent too much. injustice!
Soon, while Catherine was looking at the map in a daze and thinking wildly, a soldier who looked a little excited strode in under the guidance of the guard just now.
"Say it!"
"What kind of victory is this? Is it that Kalliad City was attacked and the enemy was driven away by that little witch?"
After the other party finished saluting, and before the other party could speak, Catherine asked teasingly to the soldier in front of her who was wearing a strange leather armor to keep out the cold and wind, carrying a bow and arrow, and with several small axes stuck in the leather bag behind him.
'ah? '
'No! no! '
'Your Majesty the Queen! The city of Kalliad was not attacked and no enemies were seen! '
I don't know why Queen Catherine in front of me suddenly asked the messenger such nonsense. After hesitating and being surprised for a moment, she answered honestly.
"??"
"What other good news can there be? Could it be that she went out alone to sweep or sneak attack the enemy's patrol?"
Unexpectedly, it was not because of the attack on Kalliad City. This actually made Catherine, who had not paid much attention to it, a little surprised.
'Report! '
'No! ! '
"Ah!"
"Forget it, let's talk about it..."
Finally, Catherine took a rare breath and smiled bitterly, and then had to give up and no longer planned to continue guessing.
'Report to the Queen! '
'Lady Witch Anne led the army to break through Secret Khan City the afternoon before yesterday, killing more than 2,000 enemies, and completely occupied the entire city and area. She is currently sweeping the area around Secret Khan City, and is waiting for an opportunity to move towards Prince and Telia City. ! '
As if he was afraid that other people in this tent would not hear, the messenger used his best ability to read out what he knew loudly and proudly, and at the same time took out a roll of parchment from his bag, Then he held it in both hands politely and handed it to Her Majesty the Queen, who seemed to be a little stunned by the news she brought.
"!!"
"This is impossible!!"
However, before the messenger was happy for long, and before the other generals and nobles in the tent came to their senses, they all heard an exclamation from the queen.
"If I remember correctly, including Kalliad City, we left her with less than 200 soldiers in total, and most of them were old and weak. What could she use to capture the territory occupied by Negan? Secret Khan City?!”
"Soldier, are you trying to lie to me?!"
Catherine's tone became stern, and she even began to wonder if the guy in front of her was Negan's spy. Moreover, if she remembers correctly, their army or the Kingdom of Erathia does not have a unit like the Griffin Knight!
Because the griffin itself is a powerful creature with a bad temper and savagery. Although it can be tamed and used as a mount, ordinary soldiers cannot tame that kind of creature. Even if they ride on a griffin, it is not a big deal. However, there is no guarantee of accuracy when shooting arrows at high altitudes. As for bringing other things, that's not to mention. She knows the load-bearing capacity of griffins. They are not horses or dragons. Even taking a grown man into the sky requires extraordinary talent.
'King, queen! ! '
'To be more specific, you should read the good news yourself first...'
Seeing the furious Queen Catherine, and then looking at the surrounding generals and guards who were vaguely holding the hilts of their swords, the messenger dared to delay, so he quickly handed over the magic-sealed parchment he was holding in his hands to report the victory. He handed it over tremblingly.
"..."
"snort!"
Queen Catherine snorted and snatched the letter. After looking at the magic seal on it, she frowned, but in the end, she pulled it open and quickly started reading.
"!!"
After just one glance, Catherine subconsciously knew that this letter was probably written by that weird little girl witch, because it was so unique that ordinary people couldn't easily imitate it even if they wanted to impersonate it.

Sister Queen Catherine:
'Hi~! '
(??????▽??????)
'How are you guys doing lately? But no matter whether you are good or not, you are doing well now and having fun... By the way, you must not be killed by Negan's dungeon lords, because you still owe them a lot. I haven't given you a lot of small money, a thousand gold coins a day, but I'm counting the days on my little finger! '
s(*??︶??*)ゞ
'Here's the thing...'
^-^)o
'Since the day you left, they started to sweep the area of Kaliad City as you said, and then they accidentally conquered Mihan City. Now they are cleaning up this area. I believe it will be better soon. Soon, Prince and Telia City will be captured. How about it? Isn't he super powerful? ! '
(灬??ω??灬)
'Originally, I didn't want to come out and do so many things, because the money you gave me wasn't enough at all! However, it’s like this anyway, so I have no choice but to carry on! Speaking of which, the cause of the matter actually started when someone persuaded a group of fleeing Erathian soldiers through very, very, very powerful diplomacy...'
(*^▽^*)
Anne began to describe in a long and lengthy letter how she was "domineering" (X dropped)...describing how she was wise, powerful and eloquent (fireball?? threat) to persuade each and every team of Egyptians. The defeated soldiers, refugees, wizards, knights, gladiators, knights, etc. from the Kingdom of Lasia joined her team.
Of course, there must be some other messy creatures among them...
Then, she swept all the way, captured many strongholds that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Erathia, liberated and incorporated many people, discovered many novel things, and robbed (X)... and dug out many, many treasures. And later took advantage of the situation to conquer Mihan City.
This paragraph is very long and messy, and it made Queen Catherine frown! However, it was these long and messy chapters that allowed her to roughly figure out how the other party miraculously did all that.
'correct! Someone rescued a guy named Gil Knight from the prison in the southwest of Mihan. He said he knew you? But that annoying guy has been sent back to Kalliad City to guard the gate. If you go back at this time, you will definitely see him! '
(????????-)??
'And oh! '
'I have found out before that I asked after burning to death many of the hell cave people who were captured... It seems to be that there is an entrance to the underground world in the area near Kaliyad and Mihan City. , there seems to be a dungeon belonging to Negan inside, and it seems to be called Trenis? '
く(＾_??)ゝ?
'Anyway, if you are free in the next time, I will definitely go to the underground world to take a look and help you investigate! '
o(*??︶??*)o
'alright! '
'That's what happened. I didn't want to write this letter originally, but those annoying guys, those guys who claim to be Erathian nobles, kept asking me to write it. So, if you see it, remember to write a reply. ! '
o(??^｀)o
——On XX day of Chipmunk Week, XX month XX, Anne Hastur??
'...'
'Your Majesty, what's wrong? '
'Princess Catherine? '
'His Majesty? ! '
'? ? ? '
Seeing that their Majesty the Queen stood there dumbly and silently after reading the rather long letter. The curious and worried generals and guards beside her couldn't help but cast worried and questioning looks at her. .
"..."
"I already know roughly what happened. He didn't lie. That little guy, she did conquer the Secret Khan City!"
"It's just that the process is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail later!"
Queen Catherine put away the parchment letter, not intending to let her generals and nobles see the letter, which had some strange formats and was completely unethical, and calmed those who wanted to come around. After the generals and nobles, they looked at the messenger who was waiting with some anxiety:
"you!"
"Take him down to eat something and find a tent for him to rest. Then remember to ask the secretary of the camp to pay him a reward of ten gold coins, and then bring him back to me after dawn tomorrow to get a reply!"
After Catherine quickly rolled up the long parchment letter, she directly explained to the guard while the anxious messenger was waiting.
'yes! Yes! ! '
Looking at the queen's expression, and based on the other party's arrangements and rewards for the messenger, how could the guard not know the authenticity of the good news that the messenger just said came from the city of Calliad? Therefore, he responded excitedly, quickly turned around and pulled the messenger out, and planned to ask the truth after he went out.
"..."
"Everyone!"
"Good news indeed!"
"In Kalliad City, there is basically no danger around our back road... What is surprising is that the little wizard we hired is now leading her 'army' to sweep around Mihan City. If everything goes well, after we complete the tactical goal of coming here, maybe Prince and the area of Tlia City will be completely recovered by her?"
'! ! '
'What? ! '
'That's impossible! '
'absurd! ! '
'I don't understand, Her Majesty Queen Catherine, that little witch, where did she get her army from? ! '
'This must be Negan or Over's conspiracy! ! '
'His Majesty! You don't really believe that something that is absolutely impossible to happen, do you? '
'...'
Sure enough, just as Catherine had expected, as soon as she spoke, the generals and nobles exclaimed, and just like her previous reaction, they couldn't believe that such an impossibility could happen. matter.
After all, that sounds even more incredible than the rebellion started by the remnants of the former empire that she put down when she was still the princess of the Kingdom of Erathia and was only seventeen years old? But no matter what, Catherine knew that the messenger and the little girl should not have deceived them! Moreover, this matter cannot be false, and she will definitely seek verification and confirmation through some channels.
