Chapter 56: The War Is Coming

"Have you found anything useful to you?" Luo Lisi asked, leaning over.

"I can't find a place to break through the iron shoes, it's all effortless!" Enzo was in a good mood and said casually.

Luo Lisi was taken aback for a moment, and she blinked her eyes for unknown reasons.

As the main material of the sky potion, the sky tree fruit is what Enzo has been looking for. As long as he has it, Enzo will have the opportunity to refine the sky potion to help O'Queen, who is already the pinnacle of the Grand Knight, break through the realm.

"Although I don't know what's the use of this thing." Luo Lisi shrugged and blinked. "But since you need it, take it away."

Enzo nodded slightly, not polite, and smoothly took the sky tree fruit into his arms.

Afterwards, the two went around the iron treasury for a while, and then left the underground space.

"Uncle Harris, how many troops are there in the Golden City at present?" In the castle study, three figures were sitting around a round table, and Lori asked, looking at Harris.

"After the war against Black Raven and Rodri's rebellion, the current military strength of the Golden City is about 7,000 people." Harris thought with a glance, ": Among these 7,000 people, the city's defense guards totaled 5,000. People, and the other 2,000 are lightly armed rangers with horses."

"Are there only 7,000 people left?" Luo Lisi's eyes were dim. In her memory, the strength of the Golden City during its heyday was more than 20,000.

"Don't worry, Loris." Enzo comforted him, saying, "I have ordered the hungry wolf to go to the Blood Wilderness. He can bring back the bandit under his command within three days, and he can join the army with a little training."

"But... is the hungry wolf really trustworthy?" Luo Lisi hesitated slightly, her eyes shining with worry.

"Don't worry, you don't need to think about this." Enzo was confident and said, "I have planted a curse on the hungry wolf. Life and death are all within my mind. He won't make fun of his life."

"That's good." Luo Lisi was relieved a little and nodded.

"The 7000 guards in the city, together with the great knight hungry wolf, and his gang, should be enough to defend the Golden City." Harris looked solemn, paused, and said solemnly ": Now Philip has taken the giant In Langcheng and Ironhorn City, after the Black Crow Army has cultivated for a period of time, he will definitely start a war again. Therefore, I plan to go to the Eagle Grassland tomorrow and hire the Iron Cross Mercenary Group to help out!"

"Iron Cross Mercenary Group?" Enzo raised his brows, as if he had heard the name.

"Yes, the Iron Cross Mercenary Group!" Harris nodded slightly, and said, "It is the famous mercenary group on the Eagle Steppe. Not only does it have three great knights as its leader, but also has a heavy cavalry group under his command. The combat effectiveness is very strong."

"Our current strength is very different from that of Philip's Black Crow army. Only by hiring a powerful mercenary group can we increase some hope of victory!"

"In this case, there is Uncle Lauharis." Luo Lisi agreed with her eyes and said solemnly.

Enzo's eyes flickered, and he did not raise any objections.

As Harris said, hiring a mercenary group to fight can indeed enhance the strength of the Golden City and Kaiyuan City alliance, but in fact, the outcome of this world war is often determined by the high-level combat power of both parties.

In Enzo's view, the victory or defeat of this war depends on whether he can defeat the sky knight Philip.

...

The sky is getting darker and night falls.

When Enzo left the Golden City and returned to Kaiyuan City, it was already evening.

"Father hasn't woken up yet?" Enzo saw Tyron in the castle study.

"No." Tyron shook his head, looking worried, and said, "Brother O'Queen was injured very badly this time. The sword wound that Philip left on his chest almost hurt his heart. It could save a life. A miracle, as for when we can wake up, we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Enzo frowned slightly, sighing in his heart.

"By the way, what happened to the Golden City?" Tyron raised his head and asked.

"Everything went well!" Enzo nodded slightly, and said solemnly, "Rodri has been killed by me, and his forces have been taken over by Luo Lisi. After the ceremony of succession to the city lord, Luo Lisi took me to open the iron vault."

"Oh? The Iron Vault is on?" Tai Lun's eyes shone slightly.

"En, yes. There is indeed a lot of wealth in it. Harris is preparing to contact the Eagle Grassland and hire the'Iron Cross Mercenary Group' to fight against Philip." Enzo said.

"Iron Cross Mercenary Group? Great." Tai Lun smiled and said, "That's the most famous mercenary group on the Eagle Steppe. The heavy cavalry group under its command is extremely powerful, even between some kingdoms. They dared to intervene in the war, and they came to help out, enough to make up for our weakness in military strength."

Boom! 咚咚!

When the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is it Clarence? Come in." Tyron looked up slightly and said.

The door was then pushed open, wearing light armor, and the dusty Clarence walked in. He first bowed to the two of them in accordance with the etiquette, and then turned his eyes to Tyron.

"My lord, heading to Iron Horn City, all the scouts in the direction of Giant Wolf City have returned."

"Very well, what's the movement of Philip's army?" Tyron's eyes shuddered. After the fall of Wolf City, Kaiyuan City always paid attention to Philip's movement and sent many scouts in the direction of Wolf City and Iron Horn. Inquire about intelligence.

"According to the news brought back by the scouts, after Philip captured Great Wolf City, he first strongly suppressed the remaining wolf family forces in the city, and then forcibly conquered a large amount of food from the civilians. It seems to be preparing for the next war." Lance Exchange reports.

"It seems that Philip has decided to unify the cold ground!" Tyron sighed with complicated expression.

"The chaotic era has been going on for too long. As long as there is a chance, who does the Lord of the Five Cities want to unify the ice field and establish a kingdom?" Enzo shrugged, and narrowed his eyes. "Uncle Tyron, how long do you think Philip will be? Promote war again?"

"I'm afraid it won't be too long." Tyron shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice." Philip defeated O'Queen with wildfire tricks in the Battle of Black Rook. His main army had almost no loss, and then he blitzed Conquering Iron Horn City and Giant Wolf City even more, the troops must have been expanded."

"The Black Crow army has won successive battles, and the morale is on the rise. I estimate that within ten days at most, Philip will officially declare war on Kaiyuan City!"

"Ten days? That's enough." Enzo thought through his eyes, and said, "The Golden City opened the iron vault. Now it is rich and rich. Harris has already gone to the Eagle Grassland. If it goes well, it will take up to five or six days. Then you can bring back the'Iron Cross Mercenary Corps', and the battle will start at that time!"
