Elara and Uno left the Salvia Empire Palace. Outside the palace, in the small forest trail behind the mountain, the Wei Clan had already prepared horses for them.
Elara and Uno mounted the horses and led the Wei Clan members all the way toward the direction of the Plumera Kingdom.
After running several kilometers away from the Salvia Palace, Uno handed two items to Elara.
"Your Majesty, these are divine items found on the assassin from the Blood Garment Tower."
Elara glanced sideways at the two items in Uno's hands. One looked like a monocle, and the other was the Purple Scale Armor she had seen earlier in the imperial palace.
Information from the System had already popped up in her mind.
[Eye of Penetration]
[Description]: This is an eye that can see through barriers. As long as the barrier is less than ten meters thick, the wearer can see clearly through it using [Vision Through].
It also has invisibility.
[Attribute]: The [Vision Through] function consumes energy based on usage time. Every hour it is activated, twenty percent of energy will be consumed.
[Energy]: Current energy remaining: forty-seven percent. It can be replenished through direct injection or natural recovery.
[Purple Scale Armor]
[Description]: This is a defensive scale armor that can change automatically according to the wearer. It has high base defense, invisibility, and can counterattack and release electric circuits to control enemies.
[Attributes]:
[Armor of Prevention]: Greatly increases the wearer's base physical defense. This is an instinctive attribute and consumes almost no energy.
[Light of Reversal]: Reflects about seventy percent of physical damage. Each activation consumes thirty percent of energy.
[Energy]: Current energy remaining: ten percent. It can be replenished through direct injection or natural recovery.
Both were excellent divine items, especially the [Purple Scale Armor]. With so many stacked skills, it was at least a mid-grade divine item.
It seemed Uno had just faced not only two people but also two divine items.
Elara reached out and took the [Eye of Penetration]. Its vision-through function would likely be very useful to her in certain situations.
As for the [Purple Scale Armor], she already had [Battle Suit] and didn't need to stack more.
"Keep the [Purple Scale Armor] for yourself. From now on, it will be your divine battle armor."
Even if they encountered someone from a top force blessed by divine bloodlines, Uno's safety would still be significantly improved with the [Purple Scale Armor].
Uno looked at Elara's calm and serious profile. He pressed his lips together and suppressed the overwhelming tenderness rising in his heart.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Salvia Kingdom was not far from the Plumera Kingdom, the Dahlia Kingdom, and the Gladiolus Kingdom.
After Elara used the fastest Puppet Soldiers to send the message back, the Plumera Kingdom, Dahlia, and Gladiolus received the news that very night.
The armies of the three nations, which had already prepared their troops and transported large amounts of backup supplies, were immediately summoned to the main battle camp by their generals.
On the border of the Plumera Kingdom.
General Qi stood with a hidden army of two hundred thousand behind him, gazing toward the northern borders and the direction of the Salvia Kingdom and the surrounding nations.
Before leaving, Elara had left him a Puppet Soldier specifically for gathering intelligence. These Puppet Soldiers were now continuously sending back information from the northern borders and nearby countries, allowing General Qi and his commanders to make precise decisions about enemy movements.
Besides General Qi, Damon, Egbert, and Hector, along with many military generals from the army, each led troops that had been urgently recruited and trained over this period. They were all lying in ambush along the routes the enemy forces would surely take, ready to strike the flanks and rear once the war started.
They would cut off supplies and create confusion. The goal was to catch the enemy off guard and deal a heavy blow at the first encounter, crushing the enemy's morale.
During the days when Elara traveled far to the Geranium Kingdom, within the borders of the Plumera Kingdom, construction and development followed her instructions strictly and rapidly. The factories producing weapons and military gear were running so intensely that smoke was rising from them every day.
Now, the elite troops under the leadership of General Qi and the other military generals had been almost fully equipped with the lightest, sharpest, and most agile weapons and shields.
Looking out across the army, nearly one hundred thousand elite soldiers were all clad in cold black iron armor, gripping sharp iron weapons. Their fierce aura surged like a group of unsheathed swords, intimidating anyone who saw them.
Dahlia Kingdom Border
Prince Yu, who usually had a warm and casual demeanor, turned into a commanding general with a jade-like face and the power to control thousands of miles on the battlefield after donning his battle armor. With a calm smile, he was already deciding the course of the battle.
Behind him stood Gareth, coughing quietly, and Giles, who also wore heavy armor and held a long spear.
Behind the three of them were thirty thousand of Dahlia Kingdom's most elite soldiers. These soldiers also wore high-quality iron weapons and shields transported from Plumera through trade.
Thirty thousand sets of iron weapons and shields were the maximum number Plumera could currently trade with Dahlia. Even though Dahlia wanted to buy more, Plumera's production had already reached its limit. With the war approaching, any extra orders had to be delayed.
Still, just these thirty thousand high-quality iron sets were already an enormous quantity that many second and third-tier powers, who had long been stationed outside the System Pavilion, had fought over for years without success.
Not to mention, the iron gear in Prince Yu's hands came from the best batch that Elara first sold to him, which even exceeded the quality of those from the Heaven Craft Pavilion.
With these thirty thousand elite troops fully equipped and constant information delivered by the Puppet Soldiers, Prince Yu no longer worried about the outcome of this northern expedition.
Everything was ready. They only awaited Elara's final signal for the total assault, and then they would lead the entire army to march north together.
Gladiolus Kingdom Border
Prince Leland, now clad in armor, held a long spear in hand. His heroic presence and powerful aura were overwhelming.
Behind him also stood thirty thousand elite soldiers wearing high-quality iron weapons and shields.
These soldiers had all been selected from different units as the most elite. Otherwise, they would not qualify to wear the rare, lightweight, sharp, and tough gear.
"Our Gladiolus has long suffered under the cruelty of the Salvia Kingdom. The land of Narcissus Kingdom was originally our ancestors' royal territory. Yet a hundred years ago, it was forcefully taken by the Salvia Kingdom through demonic methods. Even now, many of our ancestors' relatives remain separated across Narcissus Kingdom, unable to reunite. Today is the day Gladiolus washes away the shame of the past century and reclaims the royal territory that rightfully belongs to us. This is the day we restore the glory of our ancestors."
"Soldiers, listen to my command. Bear the humiliation and swear to wash away this disgrace. In this battle, we must achieve victory."
"Our will is set, and our hearts are firm. All soldiers shall march to war without fear of death."
"Today, Gladiolus shall reclaim Narcissus Kingdom. We will fight until victory or death."
Prince Leland raised his long spear high, shouting the battle oath to all the troops with immense power and spirit.
The soldiers' faces flushed with excitement. They raised their weapons high, their hearts burning with the desire for vengeance and justice, roaring with fury.
"Reclaim Narcissus Kingdom. We will fight to the death."
"Reclaim Narcissus Kingdom. We will fight to the death."
