Make the dragon great again

Chapter 222 The War on the Other Side
The seeds that caused the turmoil in the demi-human kingdoms had already been bought, but in the far east, the war between the Kingdom of Behemoth and the Principality of Griffin had reached a fever pitch.

After the chaos caused by the initial sneak attack, the Principality of Griffin quickly restored order after the command system was re-established.

The two sides are coming and going, fighting fiercely, but due to the side of the Principality of Griffin, the reinforcements are always delayed for some reason, and even if they come, they are some useless private soldiers of the nobles, so in general Said that the situation is still gradually developing in a direction that favors the Kingdom of Behemoth.

The officers of the kingdom noticed this, and under the provocation of a certain duke's son, the kingdom seized any opportunity and spared no effort to advance to the south.

The commanders in front of the Principality obviously also noticed the slow response of their own logistics. Facing the huge pressure from the north, they could only curse the big shots in the capital for delaying their fighters, while sending dozens of letters for help to the rear...

In addition to the upper echelons of the two warring parties, outside the battlefield, there was also someone who noticed the imbalance in the strength of the two sides.

To be precise, it was not a person, but a Lich, a Lich from [Cold Wind City], De Lima.

When Aidankui led the undead army and the barbarian army to invade the Kingdom of Behemoth, he was persuaded by Adrian who passed by with a mouthful of thick phlegm, disrupting the plan of a certain lich city lord to "cause a large-scale war in the eastern part of the mainland";

That's why there was the "catnip incident" in the sub-human kingdoms later, the purpose was to continue the plan that was disrupted by the dragon and failed to be implemented.

And the Lich De Lima who appeared here was originally part of the plan.

In Aidankui and Dunmer's original plan, De Lima came to the confrontation area between the two countries to provoke a war, and together with the war in the Northwest Asian countries of Behemoth, formed two The "death vortex" of the Himos Kingdom, as the cornerstone of the large-scale [undead plague] spread.

However, just as De Lima traveled all the way from the [Extreme Arctic Ice Field] and finally arrived at the confrontation area between the Kingdom and the Principality half a month ago, he discovered that the two countries had already started a war!
This is much faster than he and Dunmer et al. expected.

Originally, they thought that the war would be detonated by publicizing the dragon-born identity of the second son of the Grand Duke Griffin—William Griffin, and his secret communication with the Kingdom of Shemos. .

Well now, before De Lima intervenes, the war has already broken out ahead of schedule.

"What caused it?" Lich De Lima was puzzled.

But no matter why the war broke out early, for de Lima, as long as the war starts to reap life and spread death, it is a good thing.

"However, the follow-up force of the Principality of Griffin seems to be a bit weak... This will not work. A war with predictable results is not what we want."

In the shadow of the lich's hood, two balls of soul fire flickered gently.

This war can't end so quickly, otherwise they won't be able to gather the concentration of [death] they plan to need.

"Maybe it's time to create a little trouble for the kingdom, otherwise it's hard to guarantee how long the commanders of the Principality, who are now at a disadvantage, can maintain their current fighting spirit...

"Hmm... The reason why Griffin's army is in decline is probably related to the grand duke's second son's private affair with the Bechymos tradition. Let's go and observe that Viscount William first!"

As soon as the surrounding light dimmed, black and gray death energy flashed, and the figure of Lich De Lima disappeared.

At the same time, on the southeast side of [Outpost Town], a griffin from [Griffinto] finally appeared.

On the Griffon sits [Gold Earl] Olef of the Principality of Griffin.

He was driven by a certain "heartfelt" idea to come here to verify whether William is a dragonborn...

……

In the rear of [Outpost Town], William has not yet known that he has been targeted by two parties.

At this time, William was gradually included in the command system by Pattins and other commanders because of his excellent command ability after the war began and his good reputation among the low-level sergeants, and he was no longer excluded.

Of course, there are still gaps that should be there.

For example, William took the initiative to communicate with the low-level sergeants. Although in the war, Pattins and others relied on the relationship between William and the low-level sergeants to successfully re-establish the command system, but in private, Pattins and other nobles The commander still scoffed at William Shu's condescension to contact the "untouchables" at the bottom.

Even, because William's striking short silver hair matched the characteristics of the Behemoth royal family, many Griffin nobles secretly transferred their hatred of the kingdom to him...

William pushed away the tent commanding the camp, and the internal discussion suddenly stopped.

William didn't change his face, but he sneered in his heart. Did these nobles think they didn't know how they abused him in private?
Ignoring everyone's evasive looks, William said to Pattins as the supreme commander:

"General, and everyone, this round of Bechymos offensive has stopped. At present, they have completely occupied all the areas in front of [Outpost Town] that we originally used as strategic buffers. After they have built the most basic Before the fortifications, there is a high probability that they will not take the initiative to attack."

William's words caused a lot of discussion among the crowd, and some people couldn't help but reprimanded:

"Viscount William, we handed over the command of several major knight orders to you to stop those Yankees, but you brought back such news!?"

William saw that he was the son of a certain marquis. His father was very powerful in the Principality, but this man was just an idiot. When Bechymos went to war without declaring it, he was the first to leave his knights and enlisted soldiers to escape. the lord.

——This person was the first, which meant that there were more such escaped lords at that time. Among them, there were heirs of great nobles like him, but most of them were nobles who themselves had territories.

I'm afraid these guys don't know that Grand Duke Griffin sent them to the front line through various secret operations, just wanting them to "never" go back...

So William was not polite, glared at the man, hummed twice, and said:
"Who is it that left the army at the beginning of the war and fled, causing our command system to be completely paralyzed in the early stage, and who was unwilling to go to the front line afterwards and handed over the command to a marginal person like me to die? Now, you want to come Teach me to do things?"

The man shrank his neck, his voice lowered a few notches.

"I, I am not, I care about war..."

"Okay, Viscount William, let's get back to the topic of war."

Pattins came out to smooth things over and said to William:
"I just want to know, with the current situation, how long can we hold on to this line of defense? Can we hold on to the day when reinforcements arrive."

There will be no reinforcements, and even if there are, they will come to die, just like everyone—William said silently in his heart.

He knew what his father was thinking. The Grand Duke wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse the dukedom's overstuffed aristocratic class and take back land ownership.

It seems that the Duke Regent of the Bechymos Kingdom in the north also has similar thoughts...

……

To be continued, change first and then change.
