When Earl Mees came down to the walls of Morning Star City with his personal guards, the Maple Leaf Rebels in the distance had disappeared from the horizon.

They seemed to be walking in a hurry, and some of the supplies on the ground were not completely taken away. They were just burned down by a fire, and the camps they were stationed were full of burning traces.

The scattering machines that had not yet been assembled were also destroyed one by one. Earl Mees even saw the siege towers that had been worrying about in the past few days...

The army besieged Morning Star City has more than 30,000, including the Red Maple King Oto, who is already a legendary strong man, and there are many extraordinary powerful men with terrifying strength.

This is a very terrifying force for the city guards only a few thousand people, and the strongest is only the golden rank.

If it weren't for the defense barrier of magic, the city would have been broken long ago.

But even so, under the siege of the rebels, the entire Morning Star City was shaking. If there were no reinforcements, it would be a matter of time before the city was broken.

Even if the reinforcements from the Duke of Berencia arrived, at most it would be to ease the situation and give the defenders in the city a chance to evacuate.

After all...there is a terrifying evil god behind the other party who can take action at any time.

If the entire army was wiped out like last time, the empire would definitely not be willing to come for the second time, so it would never rashly fight the rebels.

This is simply an unsolvable problem...

This is the case with the extraordinary world. On weekdays, transcendent mythological existences check and balance each other, so that the secular world has the opportunity to resolve disputes according to the secular world's methods.

However... Once there is a myth that breaks the rules and is not restricted, it is then... people will realize that under the myth, there are all ants.

These Earls of Mees understand, and he believes that the rebels understand.

For the rebels, with the support of myth behind the scenes, it will be a matter of time before the capture of Morning Star City, and all kinds of siege preparations have been made.

However, in this case, they inexplicably withdrew their troops.

"Maple Leaf Collar! Something must have happened to the Maple Leaf Collar!"

Earl Mees judged.

Thinking of some rumors I heard before, a thought came to his mind inexplicably:

Could it be... the long ears of the Elf Forest took action?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked to the southeast. A trace of expectation, a trace of uneasiness, a trace of doubt...

If there is any force that can stop the evil god in Maple Leaf Leader... then all he could think of was the true god walking on the ground in the Elf Forest.

"Go and send a scout! Keep up with the rebels and find a way to investigate why they retreated!"

Earl Mees ordered to the guards beside him.

...

When Earl Mees knew the reason for the rebels' retreat, it was noon the next day.

And the army of the Duke of Berencia who came to support the city with the returning scouts.

As the army entered the city, the anxious Earl of Meath finally met the Duke of Berencia, who was the marshal, a middle-aged gentleman with a little gray hair and a powerful legendary warrior.

"Where is the rebels? Your Excellency the Earl, didn't you say they had already besieged the city? Why did you retreat?"

In the temporary lord's mansion in Morning Star City, Duke Berencia looked at Earl Mees with a somewhat excited expression and frowned slightly.

"It's the elves! Lord Duke, the elves launched an attack on the Maple Leaf Leader! According to scouts, they had already captured Augs City yesterday, so the rebels returned to aid!"

Earl Mees answered a little excitedly and somewhat restrainedly and respectfully.

Of course, the excitement is because the elves are involved in this war after all, and the participation of the elves means the participation of the goddess of life.

If the goddess of life participates, round it up, that is the war...it is likely to be won!

And as for being reserved and respectful...

Although the two nobles were not vassals, but were both consular lords who were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, one was an earl and the other was a duke of the elected emperor, and there were quite a difference in titles after all.

Not to mention that the Duke of Berencia is a powerful legendary profession, and the strong... will be respected everywhere.

Of course, these are all trivial matters. The reason why Count Mis was excited, the Duke of Berencia could naturally think of it.

"Elf? Have the councils finally convinced the church to form an alliance with the Elf Forest again? Why didn't I notify?"

He was slightly stunned.

Earl Mees was also stunned.

Then, he asked in confusion:

"Duke, don't you know the news that the elves are involved in the war?"

"How could I know? If I knew, would I ask you?"

The Duke of Berencia said speechlessly.

After saying that, he walked to the map in the hall again, looking at the map of the Western Leader and the Maple Leaf Leader, and gradually frowned:

"Impossible... If the elves captured Augs City yesterday, then they should have started a war long ago. After all, Augs City has Fortress Folzer... No matter how slowly the information is transmitted, we will not be able to get any news here."

As he said that, he looked at Earl Mees again:

"Her Earl, have you found more detailed information?"

Earl Mees said excitedly:

"This is exactly the other news I want to tell you! It is said that... the elves successfully captured Fortress Folzer in less than a day and took down Augs City, and the rebels returned urgently."

"Dude! I think... the elves probably sent legendary powerhouses, or even mythical powerhouses. Isn't it rumored before that the guys sent to the Elf Forest of the Church encountered a demigod? Otherwise, the city would never be breached so quickly!"

Looking at the excited expression of Earl Mees, Duke Berencia chuckled and nodded:

"It is possible... It is said that the God of Dusk and Sunset is an evil god who has just recovered. His faith is almost a mess, and it is probably difficult to activate the magic defense barrier. The Maple Leaf Corps does not have a legendary wizard, so the city guarding is not an advantage."

"Otto brought out all his main force, and it was normal for him to be caught off guard."

With the Duke's recognition, Earl Mees was even more excited:

"That's right! I think so too!"

Then, he said excitedly:

"Dude! This is an opportunity! Since the elves have already participated in the war, then we should take the opportunity to counterattack! With the elves participating in the war, and with our cooperation, we will surely recover the lost ground quickly and eventually defeat the evil god's army!"

Duke Meath looked expectant.

However, after hearing his words, the Duke of Berencia's reaction was a little cold and seemed not very interested in it.

"Master Duke?"

Earl Mees shouted again.

The Duke of Berencia looked at him and smiled:

"What's the hurry? The lost land will always be taken back. Since the elves have participated in the war, we can't participate rashly."

"Why? Lord Duke, are you just watching the empire's leaders continue to be oppressed by evil gods?"

Earl Mees said a little anxiously.

The rebels attacked the Western Territory, and one-third of his territory had fallen.

Now that I see the opportunity to liberation, Earl Mees naturally wants to seize it, and the sooner the better.

However, the Duke of Berencia only glanced at him:

"What are you panic? Haven't most of your vassals withdrawn? And the rest... are just some foolish civilians. It's okay to die or be oppressed. In this way, after the territory is restored, we can feel our kindness more... You can even have an excuse to deprive those who fled to the nobles."

"Don't worry, it should be your territory or your territory. I am not interested in the poor Western lord."

After hearing his words, Earl Mees opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Then...when are you planning to counterattack?"

He asked again.

The Duke of Berencia narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at the location of the Elves Forest on the map, chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, let the elves fight with the rebels for a while, and just try to explore the elves' bottom."

"In recent years, the Elf Forest has developed too fast. Even though our Berencia leader is far from the west, I have heard of it for a long time that some novel small items produced by the Elf Forest have gradually become popular in Mania, the Imperial Capital, and should not be underestimated."

"This is an opportunity. It not only allows us to see the strength of the elves, but also rely on the rebels to consume their power. After all,... the alien race is an alien race after all."

"When the rebels and the elves both suffer losses and Maple Leaf Leader to the Evil God and the Goddess of Life decide the victory or defeat, will we take the opportunity to regain the territory? Isn't it better?"

"At that time... I guess the remaining nobles in the Maple Leaf Corps will be almost wiped out, and most of the people who fled to you will have lost their foundation. Isn't this the opportunity for us participants to gain more territory through their military achievements?"

"Hehe, the maple leaf collar is very rich."

Earl Mees was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in surprise:

"You're still thinking comprehensively!"

...

The two empire nobles imagined the sharing of spoils after regaining the Maple Leaf Corps. On the other side, the former border king, Otto, the current Red Maple King, also led his army back to the border of the Western Division after a hurry.

The Western leader and the Maple Leaf leader were handed over, and under the city of Augs.

Otto von Cappadocia stood on the hill, staring at a piece of paper filled with declarations in common language, squinted slightly.
