Emperor Felicia was extremely angry when he learned about the battle ahead. He immediately sent Emperor Delos, the Flame Emperor who was stationed in the Mercenary Kingdom and was responsible for suppressing the rebels, to lead the Imperial Army to reinforce the front line.

In May 671 of the Creation Calendar, the Second Battle of Hierro began.

Taking into account the almost abnormal offensive and defensive capabilities of the Iron Wall Knights, Delos did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he adopted a passive defensive posture and attracted the attention of the Otto army on the edge of the Hierro Plain.

And secretly, he asked the emperor's cousin Gu Luo to lead an army of 50,000 people, quietly detouring from the complex terrain of the Central Mountains to the rear of the Hierro Plain, in an attempt to cut off the retreat of Odu's army, and take advantage of Odu's unpreparedness to capture it.

The capital city of Auron.

However, things were not as simple as Dailos imagined.

Although the coalition forces were afraid of his reputation as the most intelligent general in the empire and did not dare to act rashly, they were always led by him and stranded in the Hierro plain.

However, something went wrong with the Guro troops responsible for the surprise attack. The original battle plan was for Pius to be the commander. However, Guro rejected Delos because of Bius's disastrous defeat in the first battle.

proposal, and clamored to sue the emperor for unfounded charges such as lack of command ability and willfulness.

Due to Guro's status, Dairos had to make a compromise and let him lead the surprise attack on Auron.

Before setting off for the expedition, Delos repeatedly told Hierro to act in secret and to quickly cross the central mountains in order to catch the coalition forces by surprise.

But what happened was contrary to expectations, Gu Luo completely turned a deaf ear to Dailos' words.

Not only did they move slowly, but they also plundered every village and town they visited along the way, with the reputation of collecting food and grass for the empire.

As a result, this move led to resistance from some volunteers in the mountainous area, causing the army to be constantly attacked, and the effective forces were also consumed bit by bit in the action.

On the other side, the coalition forces passed the report of the volunteers and accurately understood the intentions of the Phylicians, and a perfect trap was launched.

When Hierro, with less than 40,000 troops left, finally left the central mountains and arrived near the city of Ohlon, the coalition forces had been waiting for a long time.

Although the main force on the front line could not escape, Brandt, the starry knight from the Freedom Alliance, proved his strength as the number one warrior in the North.

In the first confrontation under the city of Auron, the coalition forces were overwhelming and killed countless enemies.
