Year 362 of the Byrne Calendar.
The Byrne Empire defeated the Kingdom of Weiss in the Ximi Plain. Once the decline was reversed, the atmosphere in the empire suddenly became a little heated, and Queen Anna also received support from the people.
The appointment of the new queen seems to have really brought new hope to the country.
And with Weiss's failure, everyone thought that the queen was going to hibernate.
Just one month later, Queen Anna took the initiative to launch a war.
Everyone was extremely surprised, and several surrounding countries were also ready to watch and have fun. After all, although Byrne defeated once, it did not mean that he could win again.
Relying on the legacy of the past, the basic strength of the Byrne Empire is almost similar to that of the Kingdom of Weiss, but its high-end combat power has long been left behind by the Kingdom of Weiss.
But when the war started.
The emergence of a knight order completely changed everything.
Demon Knights.
They were riding horses with a slight trace of Warcraft blood. They were all at least two meters tall, and the weapons they carried were big swords that ordinary knights could not afford. Each of them was obviously just a high-level knight, but they were comparable to great knights.
And what scares other countries even more is that they are completely unafraid of death.
Whenever a war starts, unless you kill them, they will continue to fight even if they are missing arms and legs, as scary as devils.
They appear on a large number of battlefields, and every time they appear, they will bring victory to the empire.
Because no army can stop the charge of dozens or even hundreds of people comparable to the Grand Knights, not even the legendary Sky Knights, and the Sky Knights are a fantasy that no one has ever achieved.
that's all.
The war goes on.
The Kingdom of Vis continued to fail and began to pray for peace.
But how could the empire with its high morale agree to this?
Therefore, in the year 363 of the Byrne Calendar, the Vis Empire was removed from the empire, and Byrne took away everything it owned, including land, population, resources, etc.
The name of Queen Anna once again spread throughout the countries. No one dared to provoke the Byrne Empire again, and the surrounding countries were also praying not to be noticed.
And in this atmosphere, the death of Scholar Yin Lai, the owner of Laiton Manor, seemed to be just a small matter, and no one even paid attention to it. Even the Queen did not seem to hold a funeral for him.
As for friends, not to mention, every one of Yin Lai's friends has died.
After Yin Lai's death, the manor was also inherited to Yin Lai's distant nephew. Lai Dun, which happened to correspond to the name of the manor, did not dare to take advantage of the manor because Queen Anna's prestige was at its highest stage at this time, and no one dared to come to grief.
Lai Dun seemed to be like his uncle Yin Lai. He was passionate about the manor and rarely went out. People who wanted to make friends with him could not even find him and gradually forgot about him.
…
Five years later.
"The mental power reaches 26.6. Sure enough, you still need mental power potions." In the laboratory, Yin Lai habitually wanted to pull his beard, and then he remembered that the 22-year-old Lai Dun had no beard at this time and smiled.
Yin Lai was already 88 years old before and was really not suitable to continue living.
After all, 88 years old is considered normal. If you live to be over ninety or one hundred years old, that would be a bit too much, so I decided to change my identity.
In these years, he has been staying at the manor, learning and researching new things, and improving his mental power. Compared with five years ago, he has improved by nearly three points.
The improvement is huge, but if other wizards knew that this was the result of nearly 400 years of life force, they probably wouldn't be envious.
On the other side, after the empire took over Weiss, it immediately launched a search in Weiss, and there was no news of finding the ruins. Either they were not found, or they were not there.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Anna's idea is to continue the war and help Yin Lai search.
But Yin Lai asked her to wait for five years. After all, resources needed time to be digested. It was somewhat outrageous to want to annex more than a dozen countries at once.
"Look at the time, it should be almost there." Yin glanced at the flower pot with a 1cm sprout sprouting not far away, then turned to look out the window.
Winter winter winter!
Three huge bells rang, and countless birds started up.
All the people immediately looked towards the palace.
Is there going to be another war?
…
Year 368 of the Byrne Calendar.
Because of the border conflict between the Byrne Empire and the Kingdom of Chris, Queen Anna brazenly launched her troops, and the war between the two countries began again.
This time, the war happened much faster than anyone imagined.
Only half a year.
The Kingdom of Chris was destroyed.
The Byrne Empire once again annexed everything in the Kingdom of Chris. Byrne became more powerful again, and Byrne's dominance suddenly made several surrounding countries nervous.
But Queen Anna personally came forward and used Yin Lai's method to establish diplomacy with distant countries, and large-scale wars broke out with nearby countries.
Time passed little by little.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Yin Lai's mental power has reached 28.9. At this point, the improvement of mental power is even slower, even like a turtle crawling. Although there is the existence of Krypton Life No. 2, the improvement is also very fast.
30 points is the limit of normal human beings. To reach this point, you either have talent or you have to pay for something else. What Yin Lai paid for was life force.
And except this.
At this time, the Byrne Empire has become a real empire.
The area is five or six times larger than before, and the surrounding countries have become part of the Byrne Empire, providing Yin Lai with various resources.
Now, whatever Yin Lai needs, he can quickly obtain it through the empire's channels.
Queen Anna is the queen in name only, but Yin Lai is the real one in control.
When the countries that had previously established diplomatic relations realized that Byrne had become such a behemoth, they could only hope that Byrne would not break the contract.
But that was impossible. Just as the Byrne Empire digested the surrounding resources and directly tore up the alliance, the war began again. This time, Anna's opponent was an alliance of seven or eight countries.
The war lasted for six years.
For some in the Byrne Empire, it's been a promising six years.
The empire has finally returned to its former glory, and is even stronger than before.
Because although Salin Metatlin is more powerful in combat, he is still single after all, and he has not thought about integrating his blood into the knight's body, which makes him far slower than Yin Lai.
With the suicide of the last king of the country, the Byrne Empire finally achieved complete unification of the areas suspected of Salin Metatrin, and Yin Lai had no interest in countries further away, so the war stopped.
There was also the Kingdom of Lorraine, which perished four or five years ago.
same year.
Yin Lai's mental power also reached 29.9, which was only one step away from 30 points.
