BXBX NOVEL Chapter 346 346:- Eastern Border [I]; The Mystic Spring Empire
However, unlike the usual times, when there is a peaceful atmosphere around the Capital, currently, the atmosphere in the whole city is tense and tension was in the air.
The marching sounds of the soldiers can be heard all over the city. Tonight, the streets of GoldLeaf City have been taken over by millions of troops. Most of the shops were shut down. Most common class people stayed home tonight.
Some people were scared of war. Some people were excited to see the entire Empire in action. As it has been a long time since the Echo Dominion Empire had been at war.
March!
The citizens of GoldLeaf City watched as the millions of troops left the capital. Some people saluted the soldiers knowing that some of the soldiers might never return.
Watching millions of troops marching out of the city, a family of two was watching everything from their balcony. Watching the soldiers carrying weapons and leaving the city, the small child standing next to his mother couldn\'t help but get curious and asked.
"Mom, where are they going?" Asked the 7 years old small boy.
"These brave men are going to fight bad guys and protect our home." The Boy\'s mother replied with a stiff smile.
"Mom, are they Heroes?" The boy innocently asked. As he has been taught that Heroes are brave people who fight bad people.
"Yes, they are Heroes." The mother replied with a sad smile on her face. This woman\'s father was a soldier who died in the line of duty. Her husband also joined the military around 5 months ago. She just prayed in her heart that her husband wouldn\'t be sent to the frontline. She prayed for her husband to return home safely.

Outside GoldLeaf City,
The Emperor of the Echo Dominion Empire stood on the walls of the city and watched his troops gather outside the city. This War was going to be intense. He was putting his entire Empire at risk by trusting Aditya. Daxton did not regret his decision. He was tired of being oppressed by the Oracle Alliance.
"Your Majesty, the Istarin Empire has sent 500,000 troops to the three frontlines. Among the 500,000 troops, 10,000 of them are powerful Dragonians and Dragon Warriors. While His Majesty has sent around 250,000 troops to the Hephaestus Kingdom." Hearing this Daxton showed a look of surprise before nodding his head in acknowledgment. Aditya told them that he was going to send around half a million troops but he had sent more troops than he had promised.
"Also, His Majesty has sent a message that he will be personally joining the frontlines. If Additional reinforcement is required, then the Istarin Empire will send more troops." Now everything depends on their first battle.
"I see." Daxton wasn\'t expecting Aditya to join the battle. Even during the meeting, Aditya never told them that he would join the frontline so early. Daxton was expecting Aditya to first wait and test the other party\'s military power before deciding to join the frontline.
In a war, usually, the first few battles are fought to test each other\'s powers, but from the looks of it, Aditya was planning on going all out on the enemies from the beginning.
"If he is going to join the frontlines, then how can I as the Emperor of the Echo Dominion Empire stay behind and rest at my Castle while he and millions of other troops will be fighting at the front line?"
"Your Majesty, you don\'t mean.....?"
"Yes, I am also going to the front lines," Daxton said with an excited smile. During the goblin invasion, Daxton had seen the Istarin Emperor fight at the frontlines. Aditya had left a big impression in Daxton\'s mind at that time. And now that he had grown strong, he was excited to see Divine Dragon in action. This time he wanted to see the whole thing in front of his own eyes.
Hearing this the Prime Minister deeply sighed feeling another headache. There are many things that needed to be prepared since the Emperor is going to the front lines. As the Prime Minister he has to worry about Daxton\'s safety, his comfort, his food, shelter, and all other basic necessities. All of these take time to prepare.
"Your Majesty, should we bring the two elders with us?" Asked the Prime Minister. The two elders were 5th-order cultivators who remained at the Castle and protected the Echo Dominion Empire. Very rarely these two Elders made their appearance.
"There is no need. Both of them need to stay behind and protect the Capital." If the Capital were to fall, then the entire Echo Dominion Empire will fall in no time. The Capital was the core of an Empire. This is why the safety of the Capital must be ensured.
"Your Majesty, I suggest, you bring at least one of the Elders with you." The Prime Minister was worried about the Emperor\'s safety and wanted at least one of the elders to come with them to the front lines. Who knows what kind of monsters the enemy might send to the front lines? The safety of the Emperor was the Prime Minister\'s biggest worry. In front of the unknown, he felt it would be better and safer to bring an elder with them.
Daxton looked annoyed at his Prime Minister. He knows that his Prime Minister won\'t stop nagging him unless he brings a 5th-order cultivator with him. "Instead of taking the elders, bring someone younger." The elders were even older than Daxton and his father who had long died. He felt that instead of troubling the old men, it would be better to bring young blood to the battlefield.
Sigh!
The Prime Minister nodded his head in defeat. But he still felt that bringing one of the two elders would have been a better choice. definitely com
"Alright."

Scene change___
The Echo Dominion Empire had to defend itself from three sides. This is an unfortunate situation for the Echo Dominion Empire. The members of the Oracle Alliance had surrounded it from three directions. The same could be said for the Hephaestus Kingdom. Though the situation in the Hephaestus Kingdom is very chaotic. The Hephaestus Kingdom is a place where wanted criminals and gangs from all over the entire Dying Isle Continent come. The Oracle Alliance can attack from one direction.
The Oracle Alliance sees the Echo Dominion Empire as the Istarin Empire\'s biggest ally. If the Echo Dominion Empire were to fall, then they can easily win the war. With such thoughts, Lucca ordered the Oracle Alliance to focus on taking down the Echo Dominion Empire as soon as possible. He wanted to invade the Echo Dominion Empire before the Istarin troops reached the northwest region. Little did Lucca know that the Istarin Empire already had sent 500,000 troops to the Echo Dominion Empire.
On the eastern border,
The Echo Dominion Empire shared borders with The Mystic Spring Empire. And as one of the members of the Oracle Alliance, The Mystic Spring Empire was preparing to send its troops to the Echo Dominion Empire from the Eastern border.
"They would be here in an hour."
"Let them come. This time, not even a single one would be going back alive." Adam bought his greatsword while looking in the direction of the east.
Behind Adam, there was an army of 600,000 standing and waiting to welcome the enemy.
"Need some assistance?" Adam and others looked up only to find a bright Crimson light descending towards them. The crimson light stopped 100 meters away from the ground.
As the light dimmed down, everyone was able to see Aditya.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Adam almost called Aditya by his name. Adam thought Aditya would join some other front line.
"This is going to be a long night for me. The other two front lines still have a few more hours before the enemy comes." From Aditya\'s words, it was clear that he was planning on joining other battlefields.
"If you want I can go ahead and annihilate the enemy even before they can cross the border." Some new soldiers thought that Aditya was only pretending.
Hearing this Adam shook his head with a smile. "Your Majesty, I suggest you preserve your strength." Aditya smiled before landing beside Adam. Even if Aditya were to wipe out the entire incoming army, he would be left with no strength and mana to assist head to other battlefields.
The next moment Adam sensed something. He raised his right hand and ordered in a loud tone. "On my orders, Load the Magic Cannons."
"Archers, get ready to fire arrows."
