Chapter 68 The Northern Expedition of the Troll Kingdom

Sophia was also very attentive to Lucifil's education, in order to no longer have a tragedy like Ludwig. Sophia simply instilled in Lucifil the same concept of non-marriage as herself, eternal allegiance to the race and the king! She treated herself as Lucifil's mother. Areta came to play with Sophia from time to time, and every time she came, she taught Lucifil swordplay. This allowed Lucifil to progress across the board! There were times. Lucifil still thought of her parents, and she would also go to see her unusual sisters in her spare time. Every time she went, she would bring lots and lots of good food and fun over. But her Siren sisters didn't seem to appreciate it, every time she brought food and toys they accepted them all, but hated Lucifel more and more. Simply because in their hearts, why is the son of the same winged man and siren. Lucifer can be adopted by the vice king of the kingdom, but they can only be fed on the reef beach, like begging for food wild dog general growth. The bloodline of the Sirens made their psyches twisted and unwilling, and they envied Lucifil's life, which was beyond their reach. So when Lucifil was ten years old, the Siren sisters berated Lucifil before choosing to fly far away from the land where the winged men fed. They had come of age, a result of their bloodline leaning more towards sea monsters. And Lucifil's bloodline almost mostly favored winged men. With the inherited bloodline of their parents, the Sirens also possessed a certain amount of transcendent power, and even their songs possessed the full power of a siren's song. This gave them the power to defend themselves and the ability to gradually grow stronger over the years. The departure and scolding of the Siren sisters was a major blow to Lucifel. She became calm, persistent, and passionate about cultivation. And, instead of following her father's career path entirely, she decided that she wished to open up new avenues of legend. She will be even better than her father! Sofia thinks so! .... Goblin Empire Calendar 2038. The seventh Goblin Emperor, Hagar Amiguel, dies. This was the only Goblin Emperor to break through the Legendary Realm since Amiguel. But unfortunately, he failed to become a demigod like his ancestor Amiguel. After the death of Hagar Amiguel, the young imperial son, Verlander Amiguel, succeeded to the throne. Wieland Amiguel's succession did not have many waves, nowadays the Goblin Empire is in trouble both externally and internally, and the seemingly high and mighty Emperor's throne is in fact a mess. The north of the empire. There is the Grassland Royal Court of the Behemoth Clan, which is the empire's greatest enemy as of now. The east of the empire. The Winged People Race has risen to establish the Kingdom of Losendas, and if it weren't for the Sea Race pulling their energies, it is thought that the entire eastern border of the empire would have been occupied by the Winged People. The west of the empire. The Dwarven Mountain Kingdom and the Lizardmen's Swamp Kingdom have become established, but fortunately they are relatively peaceful, and not many Goblin armies are stationed there! South of the Empire. The Troll Kingdom has risen, growing stronger over the centuries. The Goblin Empire has formed three new Goblin Legions to defend against the expansion of the Troll Kingdom. Wieland Amiguel had a headache whenever he thought about the Troll Kingdom in the south. When his father, Hagar Amigel, was still alive, he even berated the Grand Duke of the South, the Azeba family, from time to time. The Troll Kingdom, which was supposed to be a booster of the Empire, had been forced into rebellion by a group of fools. He really had always thought that Alden Bloodaxe was a loyalist and had never doubted it. If it wasn't for the fact that Azeba was still around, he would have wanted to dismantle Gimmia Azeba. Luckily, the legendary squad sent by the Goblin Great Sage Azeba had been stationed in the southern realm's Azeba City, making it difficult for the Troll Kingdom to move northward. Oden Bloodaxe explored the land to the south while contacting the troll clans throughout the continent and inviting them to join the Troll Kingdom. After centuries of effort, the vast majority of the troll tribes in the Western Realm joined the Troll Kingdom, and the Troll Kingdom's sphere of influence suddenly included a third of the Western Realm, intersecting with the Goblin Empire's sphere of influence. At the same time. Oden Bloodaxe also sent emissaries north to the grasslands, attacking the Goblin Empire every few years together with the Grassland Royal Court, which made the Goblin Empire weaker and weaker. A few hundred years down the line. The territory and sphere of influence of the Goblin Empire gradually shrunk. And the other clans have developed and grown. Among them, the fastest growing, the Troll Kingdom, had reached a population of ten million, making it the most important threat to the south of the Empire. Wieland Armiger saw the danger posed by the trolls early on. When he came to power, he actively made efforts. He issued a decree requiring officials throughout the Goblin Empire to explicitly and implicitly weaken all troll tribes within the Goblin Empire. A large number of troll elite mercenaries were sent to the northern frontier to defend against the attacks of the Grassland Royal Court. The troll tribes, whose strength is gradually diminishing, are also subjected to withholding of food and resources by the officials, so that the survival of the troll tribes in the territory is becoming more and more difficult. The trolls were severely punished for their mistakes, and were sentenced to death and confinement in the army. Wieland Amigur's starting point was to weaken the strength of the troll tribes in the territory little by little, and ultimately to gradually disappear them into the land of the Goblin Empire. However, when the policy was implemented down below, some of the corrupt imperial officials have long been persecuting the troll tribes for the sake of their political achievements, causing a large number of troll tribes to rebel. Some of the officials were bought and paid for, and many troll tribes fled the empire and defected to the Troll Kingdom. Thus the strength of the Troll Kingdom further increased. And this decree of the Goblin Emperor Wieland Amiguel was called the catalyst that accelerated the fall of the Goblin Empire by the later generations. ........ The year 2105 of the Goblin Empire calendar. King of the Troll Kingdom, Alden Bloodaxe, in the name of the Goblin Empire's persecution of the continent's troll compatriots, started a nationwide crusade against the Goblin Empire. Before he set out, he declared that he was determined to break through the city of Azeba. At the same time, the Grassland Royal Court in the north marched south to respond to the Troll Kingdom. The Goblin Empire's enemies attacked from the south and the north, leaving the Goblin Empire overwhelmed! This generation's Grand Duke of the Southern Realm, Yali Azeba, once again gathered the entire Southern Realm's army and prepared to defend Azeba City to the death. But unexpectedly, Oden Bloodaxe bypassed this fortified city and attacked Black Forest City, the great city in the eastern part of the South Realm. .......... Goblin Empire Calendar 2106. Black Forest City fell, and the eastern part of the Southern Realm was occupied by trolls. A large number of South Realm nobles had their old homes stolen, and their minds were broken, and they demanded that Asterix Azeba leave Azeba City and lead an army to fight the Troll Kingdom's army to recover the lost land! Among them, there were also several legends of the Southern Realm. Even Emperor Wieland Armiger ordered him to be reprimanded for his inaction. He had no choice but to lead his army eastward and encountered the troll army at the Lumia River. A duel was imminent. The victory or defeat of this battle would affect the belonging of the southern border of the Goblin Empire. It was because the army led by Yali Azeba was already all that was left of the Southern Realm. Near the Thimeria River was a large plain. Yali Azeba's goblin army was on the west side of the river, and Alden Bloodaxe's troll army was on the east side of the river. The two armies were facing each other across the river. At this time, the Goblin clan with higher alchemy technology had the advantage. In the sky, a large number of airships were raining magic fire towards the troll army, with a large group of eaglemen escorting them. On the ground, alchemy cannons fired shot after shot, striking the trolls on the opposite bank. Normally, such an outpouring of firepower would be enough to break up a formed army. But the trolls were different, they had the largest number of berserkers on the continent. A troll berserker rushed to the front, holding a plank of wood against the artillery fire and long-range Transcendent attacks, completely ignoring the deaths and injuries. The berserkers were all Transcendents, and Alden Bloodaxe had placed almost the entire army of berserkers at the front of the array, desperate to break down the goblins. He himself, on the other hand, took to the air with the legendary warriors from the Troll Clan, and stalemated with the goblins' high-end combatants in the sky. Although he had achieved demigod for many years, Alden Bloodaxe's strength hadn't increased too much, he had only become more and more skillful, a bit like Sofia and Areta of the Winged People in general. The regrettably unafraid troll berserkers charged without regard to death, crossed the river in a steady stream, and soon collapsed the front army of the goblin army. When Yali Azeba wanted to gather his army to surround the Troll Berserkers, a large number of Trolls were already crossing the river through the pontoon bridge that the Berserkers and Ice Professionals had paved with their lives to receive the Troll Berserkers.
