The footsteps of war did not cease in the slightest. The Knight Order of the Flame Kingdom mobilized in full force, riding on Iron Dragon warships and Fire Dragon merchant ships. With the powerful propulsion of the mermaids, they quickly surged towards the Eagle Kingdom.
They did not immediately land, as the hinterlands along the coast were already desolate, lacking resources to plunder.
Thus, these warships and merchant ships continued to be propelled by mermaids, sailing up against the current of several famous rivers of the Eagle Kingdom, penetrating deep into the inland areas for pillaging.
Most of the large cities of the Eagle Kingdom were distributed along these rivers. The lands were exceptionally fertile from years of cultivation and rich in produce, leaving residents with no means to evacuate and seek refuge. The nobles here had never imagined that their domains would be attacked, nor were they willing to leave their lands.
