Chapter199-The Mysterious Old Man

On the eastern front, there was no major battle, which Gerald considered good news, given his forces were still at a disadvantage.

The bad news came from the Whitelion Kingdom's border front, where a significant problem arose.

The demon army, in collusion with the eastern sea pirates, launched a coordinated land and sea assault that devastated the Whitelion Kingdom's forces.

Due to the southern great plains of the Whitelion Kingdom being indefensible, the commander Des retreated to the central narrow passes of Whitelion Kingdom.

The geography of Whitelion Kingdom, narrower in the middle and wider at both ends, makes these passes strategically vital.

To the west of the passes lies the small Green Mountain range, stretching to the great Green Mountain, and to the east, the cliffs extend to Blackwater Bay, which is too shallow for large ships to navigate—truly, a chokepoint where one man can hold against ten thousand.
