The Eastern Region Mercenary Alliance was one of the four major neutral factions in the Eastern Region, so they naturally had a large number of people. Paul Bain had more than 500,000 professional mercenaries under him, and they were responsible for all the mercenary missions in the Eastern Region. They occupied 80% of the Eastern Region's employment market.
It could be said that.
This force was on the same level as the City of Dawn in the southern region.
Paul Bain had gathered more than 300,000 mercenaries in the outskirts of the Magical Beast Forest in an attempt to attack the Beast Citadel. Other than himself, there were two Epic deputy commanders.
The scale of this battle was comparable to a war between kingdoms.
It would not be easy for the City of Dawn to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Most of William's troops were pinned down in the extreme north. Even if he could withdraw some of his legions, it would not be a large number!
At most, he could gather 100,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 mercenaries for this battle.
But there was a more important point.
Lancelot, the Son of Light of the Temple of Light, had announced that he had received a report that Kanil had turned into a Lich and was coming to collect evidence.
Just these words alone were enough to make a scene.
The complicated situation of this war had become chaotic.
At the western edge of the Magical Beast Forest.
At this time, there were more than 200,000 professional mercenaries stationed here. There were all kinds of tents, and one could not see the end of it at a glance. The barracks were crowded with people, and there were still people coming from afar. The troops were still gathering.
In a large tent in the middle, three people were talking.
Paul Bain, wind and fire dual close combat expert, commander of the Mercenary Alliance.
Sikorath, earth enchanter, deputy commander.
Kasrus, metal and earth dual shield warrior, deputy commander.
Sikorath frowned after hearing Lancelot's announcement. "The Temple of Light wants to fight for the Beast Citadel. We can't compete with them."
"That's right. It's not easy for our Mercenary Alliance to develop to this point, but if we really anger the Brilliance Shrine, we'll be finished if they send a Legendary powerhouse." Kasrus nodded. He was an ace shield warrior, and his defense was so strong that it made people's hair stand on end.
He was a mercenary group leader in the eastern region, but he lost to Paul Bain in a bet.
Moreover, the Mercenary Alliance was too powerful, so he had to integrate his mercenary group.
Bain smiled: "You all think that the Radiant Temple is purposely fighting for the citadel's beastmasters?"
Sikorath was puzzled. "Isn't that the case? The profession of Beast Tamer is unique to the Beast Taming City in the Legendary Continent. Whoever has them will have an endless supply of magical beasts. If it wasn't for the fact that there were three legendary dragons guarding the citadel, people would have attacked them already. "
"You're right, but it wasn't the Radiant Temple that attacked the citadel, only Lancelot." Bain shook his head.
"You mean … the Radiant Temple has no intention of taking action against the citadel, and this is just the actions of the Radiant Child?"
Bain furrowed his brows: "That is true, but I feel like there are people behind Lancelot, and these guys are the main forces fighting for the citadel."
"But even so, the Light Palace is standing on top of his head, how can we compete with them?" Sikorath was a little doubtful. Could it be that they had relied on their military superiority to kill all the Temple Knights under Lancelot?
The legendary commander of the Radiant Temple in the eastern region might just rush over and kill all of them.
Bain shook his head: "No, we have no interest in fighting at the same time as Lancelot.
Although we don't have enough troops right now, 230,000 is still a lot.
We will move out tonight. The three of us will take the vanguard and directly take down the western wall. Then, we will fight inside the citadel.
As long as we can enter the citadel first, Lancelot won't have a reason to chase us out even if he arrives.
Perhaps Lancelot did this for some reason, or maybe Kanil turned into a lich, but he will definitely leave after dealing with Kanil.
He even helped us solve a big problem.
So, as long as we don't slaughter civilians, don't slaughter captives, and don't give him a chance to find trouble with us, no one will be able to drive us away.
Could it be that he, Lancelot, thought that he was some Son of Light?
Do we have to give up so many days of preparation?
I paid a lot to attack the citadel.
There's no reason to give up just because of someone else's words! "
"Very well, it's decided then." The other two vice-commanders didn't think too much about it. Attacking the citadel didn't mean taking it all, but as long as they could take some beastmasters, magic beasts, and resources, they would be able to reap great benefits.
If they could actually take over the citadel, then the Mercenary Union would undergo an earth-shattering change.
Thus, they had to be fast.
They had to catch people off guard.
They had to fight for more benefits.
No one knew about the Eastern Mercenary Union's attack. At the very least, this news would only be spread when a large number of troops were mobilized.
That was why the prince, who was wearing pajamas and sunbathing on Stormy Island, did not know about it either.
However, William's sweet tongue made the goddess feel extremely comfortable.
Thus, Moses, who had been divining for William from time to time, noticed that something was about to happen at the citadel and told him about it.
"The Eastern Mercenary Union is going to attack today. Didn't they say that they want to gather 300,000 soldiers? They only have 200,000 right now." William immediately went to find Moses after receiving the news.
"There are many variables in divination. It's up to you to decide." Moses didn't explain too much. She only gave her opinion.
"Then I can only bring the Dragonblood Legion there. I don't know where the Mercenary Union gets their confidence from. They aren't afraid of the Legendary Dragon. Could it be that as long as they don't want to kill Kanil, the Legendary Dragon won't attack?" William raised his brows. If that was the case, then wouldn't he have tricked Lancelot?
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Lancelot is stubborn. As long as he finds out that Kanil is a Lich, he won't be afraid even if he knows that there's a Legendary Dragon behind him. After all, he has a Sage behind him. "
Thus.
Out of kindness, William told him that the Mercenary Alliance was going to send out their troops tonight. He also told him that the Legendary Dragon might be protecting Kanil.
Lancelot had the same thought and replied, "In front of the emissary of light and justice, even if there's a God behind the Lich, it won't stop me from unsheathing my sword. "You can go first. My mission here is about to end. If possible, I'll bring a small team over."
Subsequently.
William led the 4500 Dragonblood Legion to the Magical Beast Forest through the temporary teleportation portal that Moses had built.
There was no other way!
Professionals who had reached the size of the legion could not use the teleportation portal if they were not in an alliance with other countries.
Otherwise, they would be seen as launching an attack.
This was why the Eastern Mercenary Union needed such a long time to gather their forces.
Nightfall.
The 50,000 vanguard army of the Eastern Mercenary Union had arrived at the west of the city.
The Dragonblood Legion of the City of Dawn had also arrived at the east of the city.
William wanted to understand the situation through the spies in the city.
But for some reason …
The transmission scrolls couldn't receive any information. The Beast Citadel seemed to have used a shielding barrier.
This was especially true for the current citadel. Not only were there no lights like before, but all the magic lamps were also extinguished.
The Mercenary Union was facing the same situation.
While everyone was hurrying along in the dark.
An ear-piercing roar suddenly rang out.
Next.
Countless beastly roars could be heard one after another.
It was a beast horde.
An unknown number of beasts.
