# Chapter 771: A Flash of Golden Light!
As 'King of Fun' King Joseph expected.
King Albrecht III of the Germania Kingdom only considered it for a day before agreeing to send troops to the Tristain Kingdom and the Albion Kingdom.
Thus.
The Tristain Kingdom, which had always been sandwiched between the Gallia Kingdom and the Germania Kingdom, was about to face encirclement from all directions except the North.
(Equivalent to France and Germany simultaneously attacking Belgium and the Netherlands, with the latter having the Albion Kingdom/Britain as an ally)
However, what puzzled King Joseph was that there had been no response from Romalia.
One must know that as a religious nation that believes in Brimir, they have always valued such rules greatly.
Although a King marrying a Queen is, strictly speaking, unrelated to religion, as the Pope has the qualification to grant Royal Authority, it would not be unreasonable for him to intervene and impose sanctions on such behavior that violates Noble Rules.
But now, His Holiness Pope Vittorio San Rebare San Aegis XXIII was silent?
Why?
Joseph truly couldn't understand.
If His Holiness the Pope had stepped forward to condemn King Wales and Queen Henrietta, only then would they have truly incurred the wrath of everyone on the entire Continent.
But regardless, after the Declarations of War from the Gallia Kingdom and the Germania Kingdom were sent out, these two Great Nations on the Halkeginia Continent began mobilizing their forces.
If the Albion Kingdom could field a Great Army of seventy thousand, they naturally had no problem doing the same.
The two sides even tacitly rounded up the numbers, pushing their Total Military Strength to a Great Army of one hundred and fifty thousand!
The two Nations communicated briefly.
The Gallia Kingdom, located on the West Side of the Continent, would primarily defend against the Albion Kingdom's side, only needing to detach ten thousand Troops to attack the West Side of the Tristain Kingdom.
Don't underestimate the ten thousand; this was already comparable to nearly eighty percent of the Tristain Kingdom's Military Strength.
There was no helping it; it was simply too small.
Meanwhile, the Germania Kingdom on the East Side divided its forces into three routes.
Two routes, each with thirty thousand men, would attack the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom from two directions.
The remaining ten thousand would board the majority of the Magic Flying Ships and circle towards the Albion Kingdom, which exists at High Altitude from the Great Sea, forcing them to constantly worry about their rear homeland.
Yes, it was that simple.
There were no miraculous Schemes and Tricks, just relying on Military Advantage to launch multi-pronged attacks.
Even if the Tristain Kingdom had Louise, she could only attend to one Battlefield.
Regarding this Situation, the Tristain Kingdom naturally knew about this, which caused a pessimistic atmosphere of Thought to pervade the entire Nation.
No one believed they could withstand the pincer attack from the two Great Nations.
Yet, among the Higher-ups of the Nobility, not a single person stood out to voice an opposing Opinion, and instead, under Queen Henrietta's Order, they did their best to prepare for what they could do.
However, even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; how could they make Arrangements with just over ten thousand Troops?
"'All of Tristain's Troops will be stationed on the West Side; they only need to block the ten thousand Troops from the Gallia Kingdom.'"
Mima Amatori, accompanied by Mekko and Levi behind him, stood in the Main Hall of the Castle, a hint of an elegant Smile on his face, looking at Queen Henrietta on the Throne.
"'As for the Great Army of the Germania Kingdom, just leave it to us.'"
His words immediately caused surprise and doubt among the Dignitaries on both sides, yet for some reason, no one stepped forward to shout or accuse him.
"'That... may I ask how you intend to withstand the military might of Germania?'"
Queen Henrietta asked with Doubt.
Naturally, she couldn't easily believe Mima Amatori. After all, if he couldn't deliver on his promise, the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom would be completely undefended.
"'Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, we have two 'Pentagram' class Magic Dolls, which are Magic War Weapons newly developed by the Albion Kingdom based on Ancient Magic. It is said they are even Magic Creations of the 'Progenitor' Brimir.'"
Mima Amatori had already prepared an Explanation that would allow these people to easily understand and believe.
"'So that's it!'"
Queen Henrietta and the other Higher-ups and Dignitaries all looked as if they had suddenly understood.
Ancient Magic, Brimir.
These two words were enough to give them a very strong sense of Safety. All they needed to do next was see the actual objects to feel reassured.
Don't find it absurd.
In this 'Zero Magic World', 'Progenitor' Brimir had such credibility.
Except for the Elf Race, all Humans believed that Brimir was omnipotent, because he was the God of Magic who founded the Magic System.
Therefore, his Magic Creations must be reliable.
The Commotion of the four Nations stirred up the Situation across the entire Halkeginia Continent.
On the Earth of the Gallia Kingdom, tens of thousands of Soldiers, Knights, and Carriages pulling Cannons formed an endless line stretching towards the North.
And in the Sky, Magic Warships and Magic Flying Ships, carrying noble Mages and a portion of Troops serving as Guards, arrived first near the Border of the Tristain Kingdom.
At this Time, the Magic Fleet from the Albion Kingdom had already been waiting on the opposite side for a long time.
The combined number of Magic Flying Ships from both sides, exceeding two hundred, seemed to completely cover the entire azure Sky.
They arrayed their Situation, confronting each other, yet not daring to open fire easily.
Because it wasn't Time yet.
So they merely held their ground, sending the Vanguard and Mages from the Airships down to the Ground, allowing the Mages skilled in Earth Magic to begin constructing Defensive Works.
This was War between two Great Nations; it could basically only be conducted openly and honorably.
However, on the other side, on the East Side of the Tristain Kingdom, the two routes of the Germania Kingdom's Great Army drove straight in, encountering no resistance at the Border.
"'The Intelligence was actually true; they really didn't arrange any Troops for Defense on our side...'"
Marshal Nixar stood on the Deck of a Magic Warship, first overlooking the lush Earth below, then scanning the Sky around him, which showed no sign of enemy Battleships.
"'What is Queen Henrietta thinking?'"
"'Hehehe, Marshal Lord, perhaps she has given up.'"
Another General chuckled lightly: "'After all, even if they mobilize the entire Nation's military, or even temporarily conscript civilians as Soldiers, they couldn't possibly have more than twenty thousand Military Strength.'"
"'This amount is barely enough to resist the Gallia Kingdom's Attack, and even if they were to divide their forces to block us, how many could they spare? We have a full thirty thousand here~'"
Marshal Nixar was not so optimistic, merely glancing at him.
"'Lord Slav, have you forgotten about that Void User? If we encounter the opponent on our side, then you and I must be prepared to die in battle or be captured.'"
"'This... cough cough, we shouldn't be that unlucky, right?'"
General Slav hesitated.
"'The Troops from the Gallia Kingdom attacking Tristain are only around ten thousand, while our two routes from Germania each have around thirty thousand. It's impossible for the opponent to deploy the Void User to the Gallia side, so the possibility of us encountering the opponent here is fifty percent...'"
But just as Marshal Nixar was finishing his sentence, he suddenly felt a flash of golden Light before his eyes.
The next moment, with a Loud Noise, a Magic Warship about two hundred meters away to the left instantly turned into a Fireball in a violent Explosion.
The Mages and Soldiers on the Ship didn't even have Time to make Exclamations or Screams.
"'What?!'"
