Chapter 142 History of the Treba Empire
Nevertheless, adhering to this and presenting it to other countries as the country's ideals has become the basis of a country's support. In other words, Rufan's obsession is part of the country's foundation, which is an undeniable truth.
The West is defended by the natural Magic Mountains and has never experienced large-scale invasions.
Initially, the Treba Empire was just a city-state, but relying on rapid development based on magic and population growth, it gradually developed into a huge country.
Except for the areas around the dense forests in the north, the areas around the Demon Realm Mountains in the east, and some coastal areas, all other places became the territory of the Empire. In other words, except for the dangerous areas outside where the might of the imperial capital Loatin could not reach, all other places became the Empire.
When this history lasted for five hundred years, its territory suddenly collapsed.
The Magic Mountains had long played a role similar to a defensive fortress, and Grand Duke Holzlein was pardoned for this achievement and allowed to establish the Principality of Holzlein. This should have been a decent treatment.
Originally, due to the nature of the Grand Duke's territory, which gave it a high degree of independence, the people also acted like an independent country. In order to avoid arousing dissatisfaction, the price of continuing to play a dangerous role was actually considered to be a country in name only.
However, contrary to the imperial expectations, the Principality of Holzlein quickly embarked on the path of independence and autonomy, transforming its image into a kingdom in just a few decades.
But this is still based on the imperial edict of the king during the period of independence. It would be very indecent to ask for its return now, and it was finally recognized as a form of recognition of the development of a great power.
Two hundred years later, due to the rebellion on the Frignell border, the territory of the Treba Empire was further reduced, and the formation of the three major Western powers was basically completed.
Then, seven hundred years passed, and the borders became more stable until today. However, according to the Empire of Treba, the two kingdoms of Holzlein and Phrygia were originally part of Treba, and now they claim that they are the territories that were taken away. This is because the Empire of Treba is declining, while the two countries are growing.
The current emperor, Lufan, calls the territories of the two kingdoms "my land" based on such historical considerations.

A 25,000-man army has been formed in the western plains of the imperial capital, Loisan, and is actively training in teams. Although it is just a formality, the soldiers who have completed combat training are organized, so what is being carried out now is marching training.
The mission of the army is to fight, but if it cannot carry out group actions based on marching, then its true value cannot be exerted. In this army where 90% of the soldiers are conscripts, it is necessary to teach from the basics.
However, since the vast majority of the people worked with shovels and hoes, it was extremely difficult to carry out normal marching training.
The shadows peeking out from the woods 2 lutz (about 2.4 kilometers) away were obviously Ye Kai and others.
“This is unexpected.”
“And of the worst kind.”
They had sneaked in all the way, aiming to sneak into Loajin and investigate the situation in the Treba Empire. However, when facing Loajin, the situation became so bad.
"At this rate, infiltration seems impossible."
“Not only is it impossible, it’s even possible to be included in their ranks.”
Even if you sneak in under a false identity, you still need to be prepared, and even if you enter Loatin as an adventurer, Ye Kai pointed out the danger of being forcibly conscripted into the army.
When Fino and the others heard this conversation, their faces turned pale. They would never engage in meaningless gambling.
Ye Kai took out the intercom and said, "Let's contact them first." Soon there was a response.
“I’m Ye Kai. Long time no see.”
"Your Majesty the Magic Boxer, what do you want today?"
“I know you’re busy, but this is an emergency, Mr. Bartello. Please give me a moment.”
Even though you are in a hurry, you should still show respect to the other party first.
“We are now about 3 rutzes (3.6 kilometers) west of Loazin. On that plain you can see… Thirty thousand people?”
"No, probably around 25,000 people," Tulio added.
"I'm sorry, but there are about 25,000 troops gathering. Please advise the king to prepare for the attack immediately."
"What...! No, I'm so sorry. I understand. I will organize a counterattack force immediately."
"Please hold on. I'll switch and put Tulio on the line."
"please."
He realized that his explanation of the situation was not sufficient, so he handed the intercom to Tullio.
"Ah, Bartolo. This is no joke. Although it looks like they are still marching, the formation is complete and the equipment is ready. It's only a matter of time before we set off. We need to speed up."
"I see. In fact, I'm running through the corridors of Ao City right now. I will immediately advise His Majesty to mobilize the troops."
"That's good...what do we do then?"
"Even if we keep watch, it will be useless. We plan to investigate the situation at home."
"Understood... We will stay a little longer and continue searching in Treba. I'll leave that to you."
"I see. If you have any news, please let me know. Oh, can you express my gratitude to the Magic Boxer for me?"
“Okay. It will be busy, but please take care of yourself.”
“I see. Thank you.”
The news received from a distant conversation foreshadowed a sudden change in the situation in the West.
