Originally, Vared had thought of entering the Principality of Ive from the south through the Black Fire Pass, and then began his journey in the Sigma Empire. However, before that, Isabella came back and brought news.

A large number and very good quality army intervened in the Principality of Ive. I don’t know what agreement Emperor Magnus reached with several other princes. In the end, Rick, Steerlan and Weissenlan formed a coalition of three or five thousand people and entered the Principality of Ive.

Other principalities did want to get a share of the pie. However, because they did not border the territory of the Principal of Ive, they did not have that name, and considering the distance and distance of the road, they finally had to give up their plans.

Next, Vared obtained more accurate and detailed information from his intelligence department. This describes the interference of the three countries in the Principality of Ivy:

"Styrland came from the north, and Visenland went from the west. The Ricks were from the northwest. Three armies were entrenched on the most fertile land of the Principality of Ive. They forcibly expropriated the people of the Principality of Ive for hard labor, built castles and fortresses for long-term occupation. In the name of "maintenance costs", they demanded huge sums of money from the Principality of Ive to make up for the expenses of military operations. In the name of building a "military defense zone", they forcibly classified a large number of manors and ranches into their own names.

All the nobles, including the knights at the bottom, earned a lot of wealth here. The entire Principality of Ive was chaotic.

Under this situation, Duke Ive and the Ive government were completely unable to stop it and gradually became a public colony of the Three Kingdoms. The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms were enslaved by the Ives and the crimes such as robbery and rape also caused great resistance from the Ives.

We have obtained some clues. After analysis, we believe that the Principality of Ive will soon launch a war of resistance against Rick, Steelland and Weissenland. The final result of the war is likely to be the complete decline of the Principality of Ive."

After reading this information, Vared sighing that "there is great imperialism" and gave up his initial plan. He decided to follow the Steeran route to enter the Sigma Empire like most vampires traveling.

The Principality of Steerland, the easternmost border of the Sigma Empire, although the land area is not bad, the land is very barren and the manufacturing industry is not developed. However, it is unexpectedly suitable for planting excellent grapes, so the winemaking industry is very developed. In addition, the Stirland River flows through the region and is a very important grain production area in the Principality. The Dukes of Steerland all used these two farms as economic pillars to maintain the Principality.

Speaking of which, Stirland, who believes in the god of death, and possesses the Raven Knights of Moore's religious knights, is probably the country with the deepest "intimacy" with Silvania. Because of its geographical location, every sacred war in the undead, or the crusador of Sigma, will regard this place as the front line and the first battlefield.

The people here hate the undead and vampires the most. Therefore, the god of death Moore, a god who is mortal with the vampires, has many other believers. As mentioned before, there are also many witch hunters whose brains are burnt out, the priests of Sigma and young knights. Among the villagers, there are many self-defense armed forces targeting the undead. They are highly nervous and have tense nerves, as if they just shout on the streets. This will cause a turmoil.

This is Vared's first impression of Stillland.

Vared and his group, now opposite the principality, came to the western defense zone, one of the four border areas of Castein. It is located in the giant fortress Modheim in a deserted wasteland, and was warmly treated by General Dewey, the commander of the fortress and the commander of the western defense zone.

This is a general with a generous personality and cannot hide things in his heart. He is completely different from General Orr, who is meticulous and General Rana, who always looks worried. Perhaps in his opinion, anything will pass and any problem can be solved. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

Here, Vared and his group had to provide the final supply, then gave up the ghost carriage and hiked across the border between the two sides. Enter the Sigma Empire as a new "adventure team" and other identities.

Although the two sides have never reconciled and have been in a state of war, the cavalry and guerrilla troops that are investigating always patrol back and forth. But in fact, it is relatively simple to infiltrate into the other side's borders.

"Because there are a large number of witch hunters who have burnt brains, the priest Sigma and the knights will wander around the border for reasons such as glory, faith, or money. So that area is actually very chaotic. It is very simple to take the opportunity to get in. Just dress up as a human and say that you are also a stupid guy with burnt brains." General Dewey said to Valed, which gave Valed a sudden realization of "Oh, so that's it."

"So what should we do here? Will someone take this opportunity to come to Silvania?" Vared continued to ask.

Then General Dewey burst into laughter, as if he had heard something funny.

"Impossible. Because they can't dress up as dead people. For vampires, I know all the four thousand fellow citizens in Sylvania! How could they get away with it?!"

Vared nodded, thinking that it was indeed. Compared to the mixed group of dragons and snakes, the undead patrol and vampire nobles are difficult to play. But it's great to be old, and he actually said that everyone in Silvania knows...

General Dewey is in his 870s this year, not like the other two generals Valed knew. He is two generations older than Valed and is the clan uncle.

"There are many knights in his army who use sickles, the Knights of Moore's Temple Guards and the Black Guards. There are also many knights who use powerful composite bows and long muskets. They are the Knights of the Raven Knights. There are also very elite scattered soldiers in his army.

Steelland's longbowmen have excellent combat effectiveness and also have elite legions such as the Hell Hunter Unit. At the same time, they also maintain a large number of imperial units, artillery, muskets, halberds, swords and shields.

At the same time, the headquarters of the witch hunter is also located in Steerland. If necessary, they can organize a truly elite witch hunter of about 500 people to join the Steerland army.

Although Steirland has a relatively barren land and its properties are average. However, because it is adjacent to our country, it has suffered a lot of losses in the previous wars. Therefore, most of the fiscal revenue has been invested in the arms. Therefore, their military strength is quite outstanding. It is an opponent that cannot be underestimated."

In the eastern defense zone, General Dewey talked endlessly about the information about the Principality of Steerland opposite Valed. Of course, due to work relations, the long and long narratives are all about military aspects. Their number of troops, the ratio of troops, elite troops, castles, fortresses, bastions, legions' stationing locations, mountains and terrain... It was told like a little bit about it. Valed even had an illusion that he was the marshal of Steerland, right?

But this information cannot be said to be useless.

"Then, in the future, this line of defense will continue to be yours. Uncle Dewey." Finally, Vared ended with this sentence and ended the conversation.

"Ah hahaha... I don't need to call me that, little Valed, grandfather, or something, it seems like I'm old all of a sudden. I'm still very young, not even a thousand years old."

General Dewey smiled so happily and said so.

Indeed, if we look at it from the appearance, General Dewey is only 20 to 30 years old... If we dress up, we may look younger. Standing side by side with Valed, outsiders may consider them as brothers.

"Yes, that's right." Vared shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then, after General Dewey laughed enough, he became serious and said to Valed, "Then in the end, I will give you another one, Little Valed. Every ten years, there are many people who have started to travel around the world. I will say the same thing to them."

"Yes, please say it." Vared also solemnly requested. As a vampire, Vared has always known the advice of the elderly, how important this kind of thing is.

"You can make a big fuss in other races, make a name for yourself and make achievements. Of course, you can also travel the whole world in a low-key manner. You can do whatever you want. But I hope you don't have feelings for those outsiders."

"Tell me...feelings?" Valed was a little confused.

"For example, it's like the chef's feeling about the livestock he's going to slaughter, or the hunter's feeling about his prey. That would be a lot of trouble.

After all, livestock, prey, etc. are very different from us. However, intelligent races such as humans and elves are different. Outside, it is no better than in Sylvania. In Sylvania, you show your identity as a family member of the dark night, and all living beings are inferior to you. So at most, they are chefs and domestic animals.

However, if you are outside, you have to pretend to be a human. So you are equal to those people, elves or anything else. So if you have feelings for that situation, something bad might happen. The worst thing is that I saw an idiot who actually fell in love with a wood elf. I even had the idea of ​​living in seclusion with that wood elf. That result is bad no matter what, right?”

"What happened later?" Vared asked.

"What later?"

"What happened to the same tribe who loved the wood elves." (To be continued...)
