331

In the back garden of the Nicholas family.

In the pavilion on the shore of the lake, Anthony and a group of children were sitting beside Lily, listening to her talk about the strange things she had encountered on this trip… Every listener’s eyes beamed, and their faces were full of yearning.

Durga asked curiously, “Sister Lily, the border between the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom is so chaotic. Will there really be a war?”

“This… I really don’t know,” Lily joked. “You’re not afraid of war, are you?”

“I’m not afraid!” Durga’s eyes were super bright. “If there is really a battle, I’ll go to the battlefield in the future to kill the enemy! I’ll definitely become a great general!”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded from afar. “Durga! Where have you been?!”

Upon hearing this, the originally heroic Durga suddenly wilted. It was… his mother.

Oh no! His teacher must have leaked the news of him fighting!

Durga frowned and turned around to look for his friends. He saw Anthony and the others turn around to look at the scenery?!

Lily suppressed her laughter and asked, “What have you gotten yourself into this time?”

Durga lowered his head in dejection and muttered, “I haven’t. It was just… just some friction between classmates…”

“How many did you beat up?”

“Only twelve!” Durga suddenly raised his head, as if he was very proud. Then, he explained, “Sidney and the others bullied their classmates, so I did justice!”

“Sidney?” Lily was stunned for a moment, as if she was recalling something. “I think I had beaten up someone from this family before. His name was… Barker?”

Durga was stunned for a moment. “That’s Sidney’s elder brother!”

“No wonder…” Lily held back her laughter.” “Then, there’s nothing I can do. Sister also endured it like this back then.

“You’ve already beat them up. Go and receive your punishment!”

Durga was speechless.

… . .

At the same time, in Norton’s study.

Norton, Dick, and Karuman were talking in private.

Karuman was one of the retainers who had accompanied Lily on this trip to find the lost clansmen. He was also in charge of commanding the few Great Archmagi who were protecting them in secret.

With Romo’s special care earlier and the help of the Retainer Tenfold Cultivation Speed Talismans, Karuman was already a top Great Archmage ten years later!

Ten years had passed, and he was not the only one who had advanced.

The number of retainers in the Nicholas family clan was shocking. Just Great Archmage retainers alone, there were more than 50!

The retainers who had joined early on had basically all received a huge increase in level with the help of the tenfold enhancement. For example, Leonard was also a top Great Archmage, and Harris was about to break through and advance to the Divine Mage realm.

After hearing Karuman’s story, the other two pondered for a moment. Norton frowned and said, “The Lassie Kingdom has been making small moves. From the looks of the current situation, there might really be a battle.”

“If the Beast Sect really obeyed the royal family of the Lassie Kingdom, the battle would have been decided ten years ago when the magical beasts attacked the Imperial City.”

Dick continued to analyze, “The reason why they haven’t fought yet is probably because the four large factions are trying to delay it. They don’t seem to want the two countries to fight.”

When he mentioned the Imperial City, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and his heart stirred. She…

Although Ron and Dick had salvaged the situation during the crisis in the Imperial City back then, they had merely avoided the worst situation. The royal family of the Sebastian Kingdom still suffered severe losses.

The perpetrators and method of attack on the Imperial City were all associated with the mysterious magical power of Lassie Kingdom’s Beast Sect.

At that time, there were also all kinds of rumors in the magical world of the Sebastian Kingdom, including that the Lassie Kingdom had plotted against them and the enslaved people of kingdoms that had long been destroyed by the Sebastian Kingdom had joined them… The royal family of the Sebastian Kingdom and the four large factions were investigating this matter together.

After that, because of the “treasure-hunting craze” in the Lost Spirit Sea, the speed of the incident’s investigation in the Sebastian Kingdom slowed down a lot.

It was not until three years later that the bloody treasure hunt in the Lost Spirit Sea gradually subsided. It was said that the royal family had obtained many treasures.

From then on, there had been constant friction between the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom. Small clashes had broken out frequently at the border, and many people were spreading the news that there would be a war soon. This caused everyone in the entire Sebastian Kingdom to be anxious, worried, and panicky… Their hearts were unstable.

Ferrero was located to the south of the Sebastian Kingdom. It was only separated from the Lassie Kingdom by the relatively small Hanlai County, so the ordinary people in Ferrero were all on tenterhooks.

Five years ago, the Ninth Princess, Norlis, had gone into seclusion to cultivate magical power. After that, Dick had not seen her again. No one knew exactly what had happened.

This time, Lily and the others had gone out to search for their clansmen in Hanlai County. They had seen a lot of chaos there.

On the way, they also encountered the people from the Beast Sect. When the people from the Beast Sect wanted to attack them, the few retainers who had secretly followed Lily and the others and were in charge of protecting them intervened and dealt with them. Therefore, Lily did not know about this.

Because of this, two of the retainers who had been sent to secretly protect them were seriously injured.

Ten years ago, the conspiracy by the Beast Clan to attack the Imperial City of the Sebastian Kingdom had been stopped by the two brothers of the Nicholas family. Naturally, they bore a grudge and had been making moves in private. However, the Nicholas family usually kept a low profile, so they did not have many opportunities to take action.

Occasionally, when the Nicholas family went out for something, these hyena-like things would stalk and attack them, but they would basically lose their lives.

After he had given an account of what he had seen, Karuman left first.

In Norton’s study, only Norton and Dick were the only ones left.

“The people from the Beast Sect are getting more and more outrageous. They actually dare to attack Lily and the others.” Dick rubbed his fingers. “Why don’t we just wait for Ron and I to break through to the Divine Mage realm to finish them off?”

He and Ron had long been able to level up, but they had been tempering their mental states and suppressing their breakthroughs. In the past ten years, they had often traveled around, and they had more or less made sufficient preparations for their state of mind.

Currently, Ron and Serena were traveling together to the Tangxia Kingdom in the east. If there were no special circumstances, he would be able to break through when he returned.

It was not just the two brothers who wanted to level up. Norton, Zoro, and a few others were also preparing to break through to the Divine Mage realm.

It would not take long before the strength of the Nicholas family clan would soar again!

… .

Then, fifteen days of peaceful life passed in a flash.

On this day, military intelligence had come from the border. It was said that the army sent by the Lassie Kingdom had already taken down the city of a gorge pass at the border of the Sebastian Kingdom!

The battle between the two countries, which the ordinary folks of the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom were very worried about, had finally come!

Smoke rose, and the battle erupted!

The Sebastian Kingdom immediately sent out a large army to the border. From the speed, it was obvious that they had already expected the battle to erupt.

If it was not unexpected for the two countries, the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom to be at war, then the incident that followed would far exceed everyone’s expectations…

On the fifth day of the battle between the Sebastian Kingdom and the Lassie Kingdom, urgent news came from the north border. The Malai Kingdom in the north had suddenly sent out a large army to suppress the north border of the Sebastian Kingdom. They were already attacking the defense of the north!

In the back garden of the Nicholas family.

In the pavilion on the shore of the lake, Anthony and a group of children were sitting beside Lily, listening to her talk about the strange things she had encountered on this trip… Every listener’s eyes beamed, and their faces were full of yearning.
