Age of Adventure - Chapter 378 THE CAPITAL REJOICE

Their sole mission was to receive and dispatch news from inside and outside the palace. For anything else, they required explicit permission.

The sound of the pigeon flying in toward the department caused several of the guards stationed around the department raise their heads.

The guards in the messenger department dressed in golden brocade and the security of this place is even more strict than the residences in the Inner Palace

The message that come in and out of this place could all be considered important news and is related to the imperial court matters.

the guards saw the sight of many pigeons drawing an arc through the sky before landing on a nearby roof

This message come in pigeon and not normal magical communication is because simply they fear that magical interference would reveal some things.

During a time of war, most kingdoms in Vilajeri continent would suspend magical communication or use both at the same time.

There are pros and cons of using pigeons as there is also pros and cons in using magical commination.

The officials in the Department of Messenger read the message tied onto the pigeon feet. But after giving the message a single glance, that official almost fell over.

He laughed and then he shouted

‘The Gods bless the Empire. The war is won!’ He ran outside of the department as he shouted and those who were around hearing the news were all excited.

The official then return back and quickly penned the message that needs to be distributed to the whole department to announce to the people the victory in Ethylred Plains

That day, in many squares of the large cities of the Empire, herald would unfurl their longs scroll and proclaim the victory of Vanheim army

On the square of the Imperial Capital city, tens of thousands of the citizens of the Empire look toward the person in the wooden stage as that person unfurl the scroll and began proclaiming the message

‘By the grace of the Gods, Chancellor Aero had reveal himself in the Plains of Ethylred to defeat the evil intentions of the invaders.

‘The Chancellor had revealed that the crime of killing the Vlad family was pinned on him by the Three Noble families of Karak.

The moment they announce this news, the entire capital city from the highest noble to the lowest commoner was jubilant

Cheers erupted in the square. People praise the Gods, praise the Emperor and praise the Chancellor.

It was a scene of extreme jubilation. The people in the streets even danced, some devotes burned offering to the Gods and everyone seem to have their own ways of expressing their happiness.

The war in the western border in the beginning was not worrying.

But as time passed and it seems that the war is going to be longer, the mate began to become worrying. With Karak blockading land route toward the West, there were many merchants that was troubled by this.

But it is the fact that Veranis had manage to last this long and the possibility that they could break through the defense and went straight to the capital that gives an invisible pressure to the people in the capital.

But today, as the news of the victory was announced, everyone felt like the worries and concern in their hearts melt away.

And now, the Chancellor is heading toward the Veranis capital to take it. One could not help but hear this news and knows that there is something big that is happening.

To most commoners, everyone knows of the Chancellor. The Chancellor had rarely participated in war after the Vetten- Vanheim War.

But everyone had remembered how the Chancellor make his name and carve his name into history by fighting two pronged attack and emerging victorious.

And now, that same Chancellor is now heading toward the capital of Veranis. Everyone could guess what would happen next. Vanheim would take over Veranis. Merchants could smell opportunities for life changing gains.

As for the people of Vanheim, they all believed that when the Chancellor took over the capital of Veranis, Vanheim would not let them become an independent kingdom like before which means Vanheim would take over Veranis.

This meant that the road to the west is opened and the conflict between Veva and Vanheim of who will get the world would be brought into the open.

It is the glorious undertaking of the previous Emperor that gives this confidence to the people of Vanheim that they would one day reign supreme all over the continent, fulfilling the grand aspiration of unifying the continent and ensure peace everlasting.

The victory in the Plains shook Vanheim. But if Aero manage to take the Veranis capital, then it would shock the world.

Everyone in the major cities that received the news were all enthusiastic and hopeful for the future. The atmosphere is warm and enthusiastic.

The Imperial City was astir!

At the same time in Savillia, the general leading the charge on the Karakian cities and is now attacking the Gael castle also got the report from his messenger and he smiles

This general is Alonso de Seville. He is tasked by the council to coordinate with Marquis Dan from Vanheim.

Two days ago, a few hours before Aero had crushed the Veranis army in the Plains, Savillia forces had move and began attacking the borders of Karak

Tasked on tacking Karak is Alonso de Seville and Marcello de Ascara.

Alonso take the mountainous forest and destroyed Fort Light and taken the villages and the cities around it extremely fast.

With almost minimal defense around the area (most of which was concentrated on the eastern front) Alonso speed was remarkable.

Now, he is at the last phase of sieging the Castle of House Gael, one of the largest castle in Karak.

There is four large castle in Karak which spoke to its power and influence. Marcello attack the Gerhardt region of influence and from the report he has taken down Forth Shield.

Karak had never expected an attack from Savillia since they thought that Savillia would focus on the matter of the western kingdoms and also probably set their sight on Duvar too

Who would have thought that they suddenly aid Vanheim?

At the same time when the three noble houses heard that there is an invasion happening on the western part of their border, the region which the House of Gael and house of Gerhardt is ruling, both of those two noble houses quickly send soldiers to reinforce the region.

The moment they did that, Marquis Dan took the opportunity to force back House Cheveres forces and quickly push forward.

Alonso had learned about the report and he knows that Veranis border generals would not try to save Karak.

He smiles a bit.
