Chapter 178: 176 Angelina’s Road to Reclaiming the Country_l

Translator: 549690339

With the help of the Dragon Corps, Angelia’s early journey to reclaim her kingdom went very smoothly.

The Lait people were busy conscripting young soldiers everywhere, so they were caught off guard when a huge army of monsters suddenly appeared.

In less than a month, thirty percent of the territory in Mido Region had been reclaimed by Angelia.

In these days of fighting, Gaz hadn’t shown mercy to any of the Lait people.

Therefore, the news of the Dragon Corps intervening in Mido didn’t make it to the desk of the new Lait king in a timely manner.

There were also rumors claiming that Angelia had sold her soul and gained the help of demons or other evil forces, which allowed her to quickly recapture Mido’s territory.

As the territory increased, Angelia had more available people under her command, although most of them had already been corrupted by the frenzy pills.

As long as she directed their attacks to different targets and provided them with confiscated pills to swallow, these seemingly weak and powerless individuals would become mad and kill Lait people.

At present, the Dragon Corps is not yet ready to make a high-profile appearance in the human world.

So, after helping Angelia secure a certain advantage, Gaz left Mido with the army of monsters and Black Iron Dwarves.

Meanwhile, he also left Angelia large amounts of exquisitely crafted equipment made by the Black Iron Dwarves, as well as some Black Iron Ballistae and enough special crossbow bolts to use them.

The bolts used in the Black Iron Ballista had been improved again, replacing the full metal shaft with lighter and more easily obtainable wood, while only the arrowhead retained a sufficient metal casing.

The arrowhead was packed with Green Burst brand of specially-made explosives and a small triggering device made of magical gemstones.

Now, besides having a longer range and faster firing speed than the torsion ballistae commonly found in human countries, the power of this ballista no longer relied on penetration but rather an explosion radius comparable to the Great Fireball skill.

It is believed that even without the Dragon Corps, Angelia should be able to reclaim Mido from the hands of the new Lait king by relying on the gap in weaponry and equipment.

More importantly, Gaz also left Angelia a significant number of Lizardman Scouts and Hawk Girls.

If she still couldn’t defeat the Lait people and reclaim Mido while having both intelligence and better weapons, Angelia might as well just die by hitting her head on a rock.

Now, under the bright moonlight, Angelia stood on the wall of the newly recaptured Kot City, looking in the direction of Mido Royal City.

The revival of Mido was no longer just a slogan, all thanks to the grace of the Silver Dragon Lord.

“Your Highness, it’s dark. Please go back to the castle and rest early,”

A muscular man with a bare torso and wearing a bear-skin shoulder armor looked at Angelia with concern.

His name was Korf, a powerful warrior, carrying a traditional simple long-handled Vide battleaxe on his back.

Korf had grown up with Angelia and was also the personal bodyguard of the

Duke of Mido.

When Mido fell, he was entrusted by the Duke to lead a team of elite soldiers to escort Angelia to a secluded small town by the sea.

Not long ago, Angelia went to the Sulfur Mountains alone, unannounced, and went to Nolan Forest in search of new opportunities.

By the time he received news of Angelia again, his childhood playmate had already forcefully reclaimed thirty percent of Mido’s territory.

He immediately brought all the warriors in the town to Angelia, only to discover that she had changed significantly, both in appearance and character.

Now, Angelia began calling herself the new Duke of Mido, and her actions became more ruthless and direct.

The way she dealt with the Mido citizens who had swallowed the frenzy pills was more akin to treating them like tools.

She began to force them to attack the Lait people in the same way they treated Mido citizens, driving the ones who swallowed frenzy pills to fight for the freedom of their descendants instead of becoming Lait people’s lapdogs.

No matter what Angelia eventually became, he would quietly support her from behind.

Standing on the city wall, Angelia gently brushed her windblown silver hair with her hand, gazing at Korf with a faint smile, “Perhaps you think I look cold and heartless now, but sacrifices are inevitable for the revival of Mido.’

She sighed, sat on the city wall, and said helplessly, “Even if I didn’t step forward and force them to fight with the Lait people, what would their future be like? It’s better to fight for the freedom of our descendants than to become lapdogs for the Lait people.”

There were some things Angelia would never mention to Korf.

To get to where she was today, she had offered everything she had to a giant dragon.

Early the next morning, Angelia personally led the army with a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, continuing her attack on the cities occupied by the Lait people.

Under the explosive bolts of the Black Iron Ballista, the walls and fortifications of Mido, made almost entirely of large wooden logs, could not withstand a single hit.

Just a few shots created a gap large enough for the army to pour in.

Lizardmen riding giant eagles flying in the sky provided Angelia with the specific movements of the Lait people through Communication Scales, allowing her to make relatively accurate judgments based on this valuable intelligence.

As more Mido people who hadn’t swallowed the frenzy pills joined Angelia’s army, the Lizardmen and Hawk people almost never appeared again.

Most people believed that it was because of the blessings of their ancestors and deity that Angelia was able to easily grasp the enemy’s movements as their Valkyrie Duke.

Of course, some people believed that she had gained evil power from the demons.

As for these rumors, Angelia simply didn’t care.

Right now, everything was going smoothly, and after another month, Angelia had reclaimed almost half of Mido’s territory.

With the increase in territory, the number of available people under her command also grew and she integrated many scattered resistance forces throughout the country, unhappy with the Lait people.

Fire Marshal Code was the leader of one of the more powerful resistance forces, bringing nearly 500 strong warriors who hadn’t swallowed the frenzy pills to join Angelia’s army.

He used to be the most exalted nobleman in Mido, aside from the Duke of Mido, and even considered Angelia’s uncle by blood. “My dear little princess, I’m relieved to see that you’re safe!”

As soon as they met, Code gave Angelia a warm hug.

At the same time, he looked worried, “What happened to your hair? I know, it must be because of the pressure lately.

Don’t worry, now that I’m here, I can handle many things for you!”
