Seeing the urgent report from the frontline, the orc patriarch, Dilba, hurriedly held an emergency meeting. Four dragons were flying towards the capital. Something big was going to happen.
"What the hell is going on? Attacking the city is one thing, but why are they attacking the frontline troops?" shouted an orc patriarch.
"Didn't you say that Sword Sage Bahra has been sent to investigate?" said another patriarch.
"That's not the point. The problem now is that they are flying towards our main city. What should we do?" Dilba yelled as he slammed the table.
"Patriarch, calm down …" Penello, the fox patriarch, suddenly stood up and said.
"How can I calm down …"
Before Dilba finished speaking, Penello interrupted, "Your Highness, it is very rare for dragons to attack a city. Attacking the army, I never thought that such a thing would happen, and four at once … How is this possible?"
"But that's what the frontline report said," said Dilba.
"We can't see the situation at the frontline …" Penello said faintly, but didn't continue. But when Dilba heard this, he suddenly reacted. Yes, why did the dragon attack the army? It didn't make sense. The dragon liked gems and gold coins. It was possible to rob a bank, but attacking the army? Would it be good for them? Dilba also felt strange. Could it be that the frontline sent false information? But why would the frontline send false information? This doesn't make sense.
Seeing Dilba's expression, Penello felt that he believed his words, so Penello said again, "Could it be that the frontline suffered a defeat?"
"Suffered a defeat?" Dilba was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly understood. Could it be that Colbart at the frontline suffered a defeat and was ready to shirk his responsibility? Then, he happened to hear about the dragons attacking the city, so he prepared a set of excuses … Compared to the four dragons attacking the frontline troops, Dilba felt that this was more credible.
"General Colbart can't be like this!" Suddenly, a leader stood up and said, "He is a great general. It is impossible for him to do such a thing."
"Carairon, do you really think that four dragons are flying in the direction of the main city?" asked Penello.
"I don't know what's going on, but I think it's true." "Your Highness, we must start taking precautions. Order martial law in the city and check all the defense equipment. It will be too late if we don't do it now."
"Martial law?" Penello smiled. "This is a period of food shortage, and the people's hearts are already unstable. If martial law is imposed, who knows what kind of panic it will cause. Can you afford to take responsibility for this person?"
"I can." "I believe in General Colbart. There must be four dragons flying towards us right now. We must be prepared. Otherwise, our losses will be even worse. Great Chief, there's no time to hesitate."
"This …" Dilba was also not easy to judge. After thinking about it, Dilba said, "Things are a bit complicated. I can't make a judgment. Let's vote now."
This was also a special way of dealing with the Beast Race. Different from the Human Race, Demon Race, and other royal family meetings, the Beast Race still had a parliamentary system. Although the power of the Great Patriarch was not small, the parliament also had rights. At this time, Dilba was also sharing the risk.
This was not a rare thing among the orcs. The voting began immediately, and the final result was 8: 6. As expected, the majority of the chiefs were inclined to believe in Colbart's report. Of course, the great chief Dilba abstained from voting, but his vote did not make much of a difference. The result was already out.
"In this case, martial law in the city is immediately imposed. All soldiers are in position. Engineers are to check the defense machinery. Start the operation immediately." Dilba looked at everyone and then gave the order.
"Yes, Great Chief!" everyone replied.
"Patriarch Carriarlon, you said it yourself. You have to take responsibility for this," Penello said faintly on the other side.
"Hmph." Carairon snorted. He understood what Penello was doing. Due to Penello's dominance in the military, the Elven Kingdom's territory had almost been invaded by the Elven Kingdom. This had aroused the dissatisfaction of some of the Patriarchs. Simply put, it was a factional struggle, and he was on Penello's side, so he could only support him. He also hoped that Penello wouldn't act recklessly this time. Otherwise, Penello would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Carairon did not know that Li Huailin's team did not move toward the orc's main city, Durostan. They had changed directions. In fact, the situation was that Li Huailin did not know what the orc's map looked like, nor did he know their route. The only person who knew the route was Jade Emperor Summoner. Because she had the information given by Pollitt and the map, the person who controlled the direction was Jade Emperor Summoner.
"It should be this way …" Jade Emperor Summoner was indeed the most reliable guy in the whole team. He adjusted the direction very correctly, but at the same time, he also avoided the route that passed by the orc's main city. In fact, there were very few orc cities on this route.
Very few people witnessed the four dragons flying over the orc's territory. Even if they did, this was probably the end result.
"I just saw four dragons flying in the sky."
"Dragons? Are you dreaming? "
"It's true …"
Of course, the orc's main city did not know the situation. The main city was really under martial law. They had no idea why. Most of the citizens did not know what was going on. All activities were prohibited, and citizens were not allowed to go out. Needless to say, it was chaos when they saw groups of soldiers walking around the gate.
"The elves have attacked our main city?"
"Is there a war?"
The officials did not dare to announce that they suspected four dragons were flying towards the main city. Because if they did, it would be even more chaotic, and the situation might be completely out of control.
All the soldiers were on high alert. All the equipment that could be used were pulled up to the city wall, and the anti-air firepower was adjusted. After a busy day, this farce continued until it was close to sunset. There was still no sign of any dragons in the sky.
All the patriarchs were still waiting in the main hall of the Beastmen Race. The current situation left them at a loss as to what to do. The Giant Dragon didn't appear.
"I don't think we need to wait any longer." Penello broke the silence in the hall and said directly to the chief, Dilba, "If they were really dragons, they would have flown here long ago. Are they here now?"
"No, this is impossible," Carairon stood up and said. "Let's wait a little longer …"
"No, no need to wait," Dilba said with a sigh. "I think I know what's going on."
"Chief, there must be a misunderstanding," Carairon said immediately.
"Chief Carairon, you just said that you want to take responsibility. What's wrong? Are you afraid? "Penello asked with a smile.
"No, that's not the problem," Carairon said immediately. "General Colbart would never do such a thing."
"But this is the truth," Penello continued. Penello continued, "Great Patriarch, shouldn't we discuss how to deal with Colbart?"
"Hmm." Dilba was really angry. He didn't expect that someone would do such a thing at such a difficult time for the orcs. Originally, he trusted Colbart very much, but after this incident, he began to have a sense of distrust. "Contact Colbart immediately and ask him what is going on."
While the orcs were still fighting among themselves, Li Huailin also received very bad news. Yes, after flying for most of the day, they had arrived at the city of Hokarim. When four giant dragons appeared in the sky above this small city, the people in the city were scared out of their wits.
Not far away, Kerenza City and Kerenros City had just been destroyed by the dragons. The entire city was razed to the ground, and when the news reached them, they were surrounded by the dragons again. Everyone could imagine what might happen in this situation, but … everyone was scared out of their wits. At this time, most of the people were so scared that they couldn't move.
At this time, a giant dragon landed directly in front of the mayor's mansion, and a few humans came down from it. The guards in front of them didn't know what to do.
"Erm, can I ask where your City Lord is?" Li Huailin smiled at the city guards, who were already scared out of their wits.
"The mayor … is not here," the city guard said while trembling.
"Huh? He's not here? "Li Huailin raised his voice slightly, and it scared the hell out of them.
"He's really not here. The main city just sent a notice saying that there is an emergency meeting, so all the chiefs must report to the leader's hall immediately. The mayor has left," the city guard said immediately.
"Huh? He went to a meeting? " Li Huailin felt a headache. He didn't expect the mayor to go to a meeting. This … was a little troublesome.
"What should we do?" Millennium Immutable asked.
"You …" Li Huailin pointed at a random city guard in front of him.
"Sir … Sir … What is it?" The city guard didn't know what to call Li Huailin, so he could only call him sir for now.
"Think of a way to call your mayor back immediately. There is no limit to the method, just 15 minutes," Li Huailin said. "If you can't do it, I will raze the entire city to the ground."
