Chapter 1400: Chapter 883: Blossoming on Both Sides (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, the expressions of many nobles who were watching the commotion changed.

Many of the observing nobles here had their homes bordering the Western Domain.

Unlike the Western Territory where almost all nobles were present, many nobles in other domains had not yet arrived or even joined the battle. Between nobles, due to territorial disputes, wars often occurred, and they eyed each other warily.

If the elves attacked their territories and they couldn’t return in time...

Although after the Great Saint War, the empire’s central authority and the Eternal Church declared peace across the land, forbidding nobles from continued warfare, attacking territories seized by elves was another matter entirely.

Thinking of this, many nobles shivered involuntarily.

Some showed subtle changes in their expressions, some looked anxious, while others had a gleam in their eyes.

"Count Misi is right! If we want to continue attacking the Fengyue Free Territory, we must stabilize the rear!"

"Exactly! We should retreat and eliminate the invading elves! Otherwise, even if we capture Augus City, we’ll be caught in a dilemma!"

At that moment, many nobles who initially defected stood in awe, leaving Joseph and the Northern Nobles who followed him dumbfounded.

"Fools! You bunch of fools!"

He cursed angrily.

Yet he could no longer stop the disintegration of the nobles...

Led by the Western Territory Nobles, nobles of all sizes began choosing to retreat, which led to even greater chaos.

From a distance, the entire Imperial Alliance seemed to have fallen into turmoil.

On the walls of Augus City, Commander Arthur watched, dumbfounded, as the Noble Alliance Army, which had just been confidently preparing to siege, suddenly fell into internal conflict.

The soldiers defending the city exchanged puzzled looks with odd expressions.

Facing the severe situation earlier, they were ready to fight to the death.

Yet, to their surprise, the enemy inexplicably fell into disorder.

"See, I told you, they would fall into internal chaos."

Next to Arthur, All-Star Ah-Dai looked at the chaotic Noble Alliance Army outside the city and chuckled.

Arthur’s eyes brightened with curiosity:

"It’s amazing! Lord Ah-Dai, how did you know?"

"Of course, our guerrilla forces have reached their rear and started raiding their homelands. The nobles of the Holy Mania Empire are all the same — selfish, distrustful of each other. Faced with such situations, they are bound to fall apart."

All-Star Ah-Dai said.

Players had been in the Human Empire for a long time, and after much observation, they had already figured out the traits of the imperial nobles, with detailed analysis posts even existing on the official forums.

"So that’s how it is..."

Arthur realized.

He sighed in relief, saying:

"That’s great, this way our pressure is reduced a lot..."

"Reduce pressure? Mr. Arthur, your expectations are a bit low."

All-Star Ah-Dai gently shook his head.

After speaking, he looked at the chaotic Noble Alliance Army outside the city, chuckled, and said:

"Now, it’s the perfect time for us to counterattack, Mr. Arthur. We should prepare to leave the city to engage them."

"Counterattack? Leave the city?"

Arthur was taken aback.

He couldn’t help but glance at the Noble Alliance Army outside the city, then at the exhausted warriors on the city walls, feeling puzzled inside.

Even though the Noble Alliance Army had fallen into chaos, it’s still a formidable force, with seven hundred thousand troops. Even in disarray, they remain a massive entity.

The enemy’s strength is definitely not something the exhausted twenty thousand defenders can contend with.

Arthur couldn’t help but voice his doubts.

But All-Star Ah-Dai merely smiled slightly:

"No, we’ll just play a supportive role, picking up the slack from behind..."

"Supportive role? Picking up the slack?"

Arthur was even more puzzled.

Just then, a faint rumbling sound suddenly came from the east and west sides outside the city...

"Did you guys... happen to hear something?"

A sharp-eared warrior couldn’t help but ask his companions.

Arthur heard it too. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was the sound akin to the thunderous hooves of thousands of galloping horses.

And as time went by, the sound seemed to be getting louder.

"Look! Look outside the city! To the east and west!"

A soldier on the watchtower suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing the soldier’s voice, Arthur’s heart moved, and he quickly climbed the tower to look into the distance.

Outside the city, on the battlefield, about four to five kilometers away from the Noble Alliance Army, dust suddenly rose from seemingly small patches of forest on both the eastern and western sides, and Elf Cavalry emerged like a rolling iron tide.

Seeing the elves, Arthur’s eyes lit up, but his expression soon darkened.

The empire’s army was too vast.

With only the elf reinforcements hidden in the two small patches of forest, they’d likely be walking into a trap...

Realizing this, Arthur’s expression gradually revealed a hint of worry and anxiety.

When Arthur saw the Elf Cavalry, Duke Rosen Joseph also noticed the elves emerging on both sides of the battlefield.

"Elves?"

His expression froze.

Then he quickly fell into anger:

"Count Misi might be fine! But so few elves, do they think they can raid us now?"

Joseph felt insulted.

However, his angry expression soon stiffened on his face, quickly turning to confusion, then astonishment...

Clearly, they were not large patches of forest.

But the Elf Cavalry pouring out became more and more numerous.

Initially only a few hundred, then soon a thousand, and later, they became countless, numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands...
