The vastness of the Endless Continent is well known.

This makes mapping the continent a challenging undertaking.

There are simply no mainland maps available on the market.

Even if there is one, it's just a rough outline full of errors.

The royal family must have high-quality maps in their hands.

For example, two close ministers jointly opened this huge parchment in front of King Ragnar.

The length is more than four meters and the width is more than two meters.

The wider the area, the larger the map, and the scale will be reduced accordingly.

The map of the Endless Continent was made into a palm-sized map, and it was really hard to see anything clearly.

The map accurately targets the territory of each major kingdom, and even the location of each giant city.

It also covers part of the sea area adjacent to the mainland and the islands above it.

It is not easy to draw with such accuracy.

But the lowest administrative unit above is as far as Jucheng.

This is also normal.

Subject to the size and mapping conditions of the endless continent.

It is undoubtedly a luxury to want to update the map frequently, compared to the cities and villages that are often destroyed or reborn.

Only giant cities can really stand for a long time.

In other words, only giant cities are qualified to be marked on it.

When the map unfolded, King Ragnar narrowed his eyes.

He stared with sharp eyes at the border between southern Avalon and the Kingdom of Nord.

The current situation in the Kingdom of Nord is very complicated.

The territory of the Lodbrok royal family is located in the north, east and west of the kingdom.

The overall sphere of influence accounts for about two-thirds of the kingdom's territory.

The Trivasin family is mainly located in the south and parts of the east and west of the kingdom.

Looking back at the map, the borders of the Nord Kingdom are mainly in the southeast and south.

Put aside the current anxious front between the two sides.

If you attack from the front, it will be a needle-to-nose attack.

Both sides concentrated their superior forces there.

It is not impossible to penetrate it head-on, but the Lodbrok royal family will pay a high price for this.

So Ragnar had a new idea in his mind.

If we could take a road from the Kingdom of Avalon, we could take a detour and enter Trivasin's control area.

Taking two or three huge cities by surprise can drive a nail there.

They even used it as a springboard to help divide and eliminate the Trivasin family's army from the rear.

All major kingdoms, regardless of whether their relations with neighboring countries are good or not.

Strong defensive battle forts were built on the borders of the territory.

These are leftover from thousands of years ago.

In the past, when Avalon was twisted into a rope.

King Ragnar's idea was no less than a direct war with Avalon.

But these days are different.

In doing so, he will only offend the local neutral nobles who are grouped together, and his influence will affect the nearby Grand Duke.

As long as the Kingdom of Avalon was not in a united state before, King Ragnar did not care about the consequences.

With the size of the Lodbrok royal family.

Even if the archdukes of Avalon go to war with them, they have no chance of winning.

Under such circumstances, his ambition also grew.

If you were to chew a piece of meat on the border between Avalon and the Kingdom of Nord.

Then his territory will become more rounded and full.

The borders of the kingdom on the map are like the curves of a beautiful woman.

Any king would like his beauty to be more plump.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows immediately widened,

The piercing eyes revealed the light of ambition.

He has a good relationship with the old King Guther.

The Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon have lived in harmony for nearly two to three thousand years.

But everything changes.

The pattern will work, and so will the friendship.

King Ragnar, who was stimulated by the assassination incident, had already become ruthless.

He didn't even spare his own children.

How could they let go of the weak Kingdom of Avalon?

He waved his hand and ordered in a rich voice.

"Let the Prime Minister, the Minister of War, the Minister of Finance, and the Grand Master of the Knights of the Ax Blade all come to see me!"

"In addition, send a message to the Guardian of the Eastern Territory to ask him to prepare for war mobilization."

"He'll be busy soon!"

As he issued the order, nearby ministers soon came forward to implement the order.

The Kingdom of Nord breeds ambition.

Prepare to take advantage of the disunity within Avalon to use superior force to encroach on those border battle forts.

By expanding the territory, open a new front against the Trivasin family.

I have to say, this is crazy!

Before the civil war in the kingdom had subsided, he provoked a war against his neighbors.

King Ragnar was indeed stimulated.

And all this will have a series of unpredictable impacts on the pattern of the entire eastern continent.

The destructive power and influence of local wars are not like those of giant city-level wars, where the outcome can be determined in a short period of time.

In addition, Zong Shen's territory is actually not too far from the border of the Kingdom of Nord...

…

Just when King Ragnar was planning his invasion.

The northern part of the Kingdom of Avalon.

Adjacent to the Sacred Heart Rift Valley in Swadia.

There was a group of mysterious men wearing black robes riding dragon-scale war horses with very high blood purity in the rift valley.

Legend has it that the heart of a great Holy Spirit was once sealed in this rift.

That’s why it’s called the Sacred Heart Rift Valley.

Walking in the rift valley, you can see ancient texts and murals that cannot be traced back on the stone walls on both sides.

There are also various sacrificial patterns.

The Rift Valley is filled with an aura of death and desolation.

It seems that countless creatures have perished here.

Affected by this, even the tall and majestic pure-blooded dragon scale horse would become a little restless from time to time while pacing.

The number of people in this team is not large, only a dozen or so people.

But the array is clear.

Walking at the front were four tall knights, with purple-red lances hanging on their sides.

There is a two-handed heavy sword slung behind his back, and a small round shield on his right arm.

The aura revealed by each one is at the level of mid-level legend or above.

In the middle are two old men and a young man with a stiff and cold expression.

There are also three legendary strong men with the same extraordinary momentum, staying at the end.

There is a shield warrior, a holy light spellcaster, and a scout with a short sword on each side of the waist. Such an all-legendary lineup can be called luxurious in this deserted place.

"Teacher Yasmin, haven't you arrived yet?"

While walking, the young man guarded in the middle suddenly asked.

The old man beside him spread out his palms covered with rune tattoos and took a look.

A faint blue light flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, he seemed to have the answer, and then he replied.

"Don't be impatient for a moment, Your Highness."

"We are still about half a day away from that space rift."

"The space here is extremely unstable, so directional teleportation magic cannot be used."

The old man's status was obviously not low, but the young man's status was higher.

The title of His Highness already represents that he is a royal.

After hearing this answer, he nodded silently.

"I want to promote changes in the kingdom."

"I must obtain the resources left by my ancestors and kings."

"And the wonderful realm space corresponding to this Sacred Heart Rift Valley."

"It's very likely that it's the King's Chosen Place."

Speaking emphatically, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

"Grand Maester Leo."

"Is Sister Wang's blood enough?"

This question made the bearded bachelor look embarrassed.

"uncertain."

"It's still a little too little."

"I can only try to use the blood in your body to stimulate the bloodline of the ancestors and see if it can replace part of the effect of the princess's blood."

After saying that, he took out a two-finger-wide crystal bottle from the storage jewelry.

It was filled with bright red blood.

Hearing his words, the young man frowned immediately.

"That's all."

"By the way, there is still no news about Sister Wang?"

"Who was the mysterious force that helped her escape?"

"Even the best diviners and astrologers can't detect the slightest clue."

The young man said this with a hint of awe and exclamation in his tone.

Then he raised his head and looked at the sky through the slender gap above his head.

There is a drop of thousands of meters from the surface, and the sun cannot reach here.

Looking up, there is only a slight gap in the rift valley, and there is only a trace of sky left.

"Is it really..."

He didn't say it, but judging from the changes in his mouth shape, he could still read the word "Heavenly Chosen".

At this time, the old man he called his teacher decisively reminded him.

"Your Highness, please be careful what you say."

"The beginning of the change of era has not officially begun yet."

"We still have a chance to compete."

The old man's words made the young man nodded.

The conversation stopped, and the team in the rift continued to move forward, returning to a state of silence and silence.

…

Inside the ice cave.

More than four hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of giant heretical warriors carrying all kinds of tools were hammering hard in the ice pit.

After this period of excavation, at least more than two hundred heretical giant warriors were frozen by the frost god.

This result is much better than Mai Raven expected.

He and Zong Shen stood above the makeshift tent.

This location has already triggered Divine Will, and it will not be triggered twice in at least one day.

The strategy module confirms this.

It seems to be caused by the rules of divine will itself.

There were chairs covered with thick furs in the tent, and a warm stove was raised.

The Jackdaw Valley's characteristic mushroom and chicken soup is being cooked in the stove.

From their perspective, they can have an unobstructed view of the entire ice pit.

Through the blue-white ice, a giant more than a hundred meters tall was frozen in the ice pit below.

This giant's head is as big as a building.

He was staring at the ice pit with red bloodshot eyes.

The giant's body has thick hair and its skin is light blue.

It looks lifelike and not dead.

But in fact all vitality has been lost.

You must know that the power of that rampant frost spirit was much stronger back then than it is now.

The years are gradually eroding its power.

And its frost erosion on giants and frost dragons is continuous.

Both the ancestral frost dragon and the giant chief died after enduring thousands of years of continuous damage.

The flesh and blood of the frost dragon was dug out and used as sacrifices and materials by the church.

The original frost dragon and the giant chief were both full of flesh and blood.

"Lord God Envoy."

"According to the current progress, it will take up to six hours to complete the excavation."

Mai Raven took a sip of the hot tea at hand and said with a smile.

For some reason, this excavation work went much more smoothly than before.

The sooner he can complete the agreement, the sooner he can feel relieved.

At this time, Zong Shen looked more like a black-hearted foreman in his eyes.

Complete the task early and pull it down early.

"So much the better."

Zong Shen leaned on the comfortable fur chair with his hands behind his head.

He seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, but in fact he was paying attention to the situation in all directions.

By the way, he was monitoring the trace of frost in the ice cave.

After he and the church withdrew from the great city of Lentax.

The waiting lords nearby swarmed in like vultures waiting for a meal.

This also caused several large-scale battles.

The lords use squads and [legions] as units to support each other and unite.

However, there was also a battlefield with tens of thousands of people.

Collecting supplies in the city is not easy.

Most of the supplies that were easy to take away were swept away by someone from Zong.

The remaining supplies are either in nooks and crannies, or scattered in various residences.

It is conservatively estimated that these lords want to completely wipe out the giant city of Lentax.

It will take at least a week.

And with the size of the giant city of Lentax, the 11% of supplies that Zong Shen didn't have time to take away were enough to feed thousands of lords.

The second news is that the Hidden Wing Bird scouts sent by Archduke Jonathan also discovered the evacuation of the giant city of Lentax, and those lords were regarded as illegal gangsters.

This caused the Grand Duke to send out various knights that had been assembled.

The total number is about two million.

It is advancing at a rapid march speed in coordination with the thousands of kilometers of space casters accompanying the team.

It is expected to arrive within three days.

This means that those lords who fight against the autumn wind are likely to be in bad luck!

Zong Shen still maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards this.

Just like he didn't interfere with the lords following him to pick up the leaks.

If you want to get the benefits, you have to be prepared to bear the costs.

There is balance in everything.

Finally, there is news about the Kingdom of Nord.

He actually doesn't care too much about the situation in the Kingdom of Nord.

The strategy module will be asked for confirmation approximately every two or three days.

Every time, I only get anxious news about the battle between the Lodbrok royal family and the Trivasin family.

Other than that, there isn't much valuable information.

But this time it's different.

Zong Shen was a little surprised when he saw the golden reminder.

It is mentioned above that Nord King Ragnar Lodbrok breeds ambition.

Urgent discussions are underway to mobilize the army in the eastern part of the kingdom, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu. com is preparing to invade the area adjacent to Nord and Avalon.

And his territory is exactly within the scope of the invasion target.

Although the territory is quite far away from the nearest border fortress.

But this distance seems insignificant in the scale of the kingdom's strategy.

And the area he is in is roughly located in the central and eastern part of the kingdom.

But like a restless protruding tentacle, it penetrated into the territory of the Kingdom of Nord.

From Ragnar's perspective, smoothing it out seems to be a good choice.
