A few days later, all the armies of the Magic Phoenix Empire withdrew smoothly. After their integration, Erica, as their commander in chief, led the army and left the Magic Phoenix Empire as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Magic Phoenix Empire's queen and Felicia went to the Holy Dragon Empire to accept their surrender terms. Alston was pleased that the Magic Phoenix Empire's queen was wise enough to know which road to take. In this way, he avoided big trouble of defeating the Magic Phoenix Empire. What delighted him more was that he now controlled all the human empires in the Wild Spirit Land.
The queen's surrender made Alston the first powerful leader of the spiritual race and the human race since the beginning of the Wild Spirit Land's history!
But it didn't take long for Alston to learn that the real purpose of Rocky's marriage to Erica was to buy time for the transfer of the Magic Phoenix Empire's army. Now that the army had followed Rocky and Erica, only an empty shell was left.
Alston was so furious that he imprisoned Magic Phoenix Empire's queen and Felicia. Now, they waited for their punishment.
As the queen and Felicia had sacrificed themselves, the people of the Magic Phoenix Empire were safe. Even though Rocky and Erica took the army away, the empire still fell into Alston's hands. Now that the empire was finally his, Alston would not kill people randomly on his land.
After that, Alston's first action was to figure out the best way to deal with Rocky and the United Army. Therefore, he immediately ordered Alyssa to send troops to guard the Magic Phoenix Empire and prevent the United Army from taking any advantage.
After receiving the order, Alyssa, of course, grew anxious. The troops she had to guard the Holy Dragon Empire and the Timber Deity Empire were already insufficient. Now she needed to send some to protect the Magic Phoenix Empire. Whatever few soldiers she could spare would be like a drop in the bucket.
As the spiritual race's army had unparalleled mobility, she thought it was better to use them than to send all the human armies to guard the Magic Phoenix Empire. However, as the number of the spiritual race's army was too small, she had to compromise by guarding only a few critical strategic positions. At the same time, they could also assist the surrounding defensive positions.
A month later, under Alyssa's careful arrangement, the Holy Dragon Empire, the Timber Deity Empire, and the Magic Phoenix Empire formed an allied front line. It stretched from the east of the Holy Dragon Empire, crossing over half the empire to connect with the Timber Deity Empire by the Gehenna Border. Then, it extended from the north of the Timber Deity Empire to the Magic Phoenix Empire's territory, which circled almost half the entire Wild Spirit Land. It was indeed a fantastic feat!
More surprisingly, Alyssa only used less than two hundred thousand human troops to form the stable allied front line within the three empires.
As the United Army was stronger due to the Magic Phoenix Empire's army's addition, they besieged the allied front line. Over the next two months, no matter how hard they attacked, they could not break through the front line. What compromised their numbers was that they were also violently counterattacked.
Aside from leveraging the terrain's advantage, Alyssa strengthened their position by re-conquering the human empires that the United Army had previously taken back.
Considering the situation, the United Army was in a passive position despite the addition of troops. On the contrary, the morale of the military Alyssa led was high.
Three months passed.
