"So what happened this time?" Li Huailin was worried that it was an emergency, so he rushed back to the main city of the East Asia Region. However, nothing seemed to have happened in the main city, so he went to find Yamala, who was still working in the palace.
"Your Majesty." Yamala rushed over with Legg. When she received the report that Li Huailin had arrived, she immediately rushed over. "Something bad has happened. The Elves and Demons have declared war on us."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment. Then, he tilted his head and said, "Wait a minute, I can understand the elves declaring war on us. After all, I just fought with them, and then I kidnapped their queen and destroyed their Tree of Life …"
"Your Majesty, did you really do that?" Yamala couldn't help but ask.
"Erm … yes, why?" Li Huailin asked.
"Erm …" Yamala looked at the declaration of war sent by the Elves. To be honest, she thought the Elves were just looking for an excuse to declare war, but it turned out that it was all Li Huailin's doing. This was a bit of a headache.
"Let's put that aside for now. I can understand the Elves declaring war on us, but what about the Demons?" Li Huailin asked curiously. "What do they mean?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not sure, but they really did declare war on us. Based on my judgment … I don't think their target is us …" Yamala said after some thought.
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin immediately understood what Yamala meant. Yes, the Demons were enemies with the Humans. They must have received news of the Dorym Empire's attack. Of course, they were happy that their enemies were in chaos. They could take advantage of the situation, so they sent their troops. Of course, the reason why they declared war on Li Huailin and not the Dorym Empire was simple. There was the Third Legion of the Dorym Empire in the east. If they declared war on the Dorym Empire, they would probably fight the Third Legion directly. If they declared war on the Third Legion, they might be able to avoid a direct confrontation with the Dorym Empire.
"What's the situation with the Third Legion of the Dorym Empire in the east?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"Nothing yet, but …" Yamala thought for a moment and said, "It seems like they might turn around and attack us."
Yes, the Demons were cunning enough to declare war on Li Huailin and not the Dorym Empire. That way, they might really be able to reach an agreement with the Third Legion. Of course, their goal was to invade the human territory, but it was very likely that the 3rd Legion would allow them to come in and pillage the human territory while they turned back to attack the main city. After all, their home had been destroyed, and their emperor had been captured, so there was no way for them to take care of the land. Therefore, the Third Legion would most likely allow the Demons to invade the Empire, while the Third Legion would return and attack the Humans.
"Drinking poison to quench thirst, but it seems like there's nothing we can do," Li Huailin nodded. Yes, the Third Legion would be in big trouble if they allowed the Demons to invade the Empire. The Demons could have waited until the Third Legion and Li Huailin's forces were at each other's throats before launching a surprise attack. Even if the Third Legion defeated Li Huailin's forces, the Demons would have already occupied a lot of territory. No matter how you looked at it, the Demons would have gained a lot. Of course, the Third Legion obviously knew about this, but there was nothing they could do. The Emperor had been captured, and the First and Second Legions had been destroyed. They had no choice but to take the risk. They couldn't just surrender, could they?
"Anyway, Your Majesty, this is really troublesome." After Yamala finished speaking, she brought Li Huailin to the side of the strategic map and said, "Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Elf army is now in the north, and they are now marching south. It is estimated that they will arrive in four to five days. In the east, 90,000 soldiers of the Third Corps are marching west, and they will probably arrive in one day. Behind them are the Nephilim army, and they will probably follow the Third Corps here. According to the current situation, the Nephilim army will send at least 200,000 soldiers, and it is estimated that they will arrive in two to three days."
"In other words, we will have to face the attack of about 500,000 troops?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"Yes … Your Majesty," Amala said with a serious expression. If it weren't for this situation, she wouldn't have asked Li Huailin to come back. After all, all of Li Huailin's subordinates knew that Li Huailin didn't like to be in charge.
"This is a bit of a headache," Li Huailin said with a hand on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit of a headache?" Yamala immediately said. "The other side has 500,000 troops, and we only have 30,000 on our side. Hurry up and call for reinforcements."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Legg immediately said. "This is the main city after all, and the city walls are high and thick. I have seen the defensive facilities, and they are in good condition. We only need 100,000 to 200,000 troops to stop the attack of 500,000 troops. I can guarantee that. So, if the Empire's First Legion and Second Legion are here to defend, there won't be a problem."
Of course, the First Legion and Second Legion that Legg mentioned were the Nasser Empire's First and Second Legion, not the two that had just been destroyed.
"Your Majesty, why don't we just give up this city?" Amala suddenly said, "Although I understand Your Majesty's intention to expand our territory on this continent, it seems that both the humans and the other races on this continent are very hostile towards us. After all, we are 'invaders' from another continent. So for now, our foundation on this continent is too shallow. I think it's better to slowly assimilate them …"
"Shut up," Li Huailin said directly. "You want me to spit out what I have eaten? That's impossible. "
Of course, Li Huailin had no interest in this territory. However, the negotiations in East Asia had not ended yet, so of course, Li Huailin would not hand over the territory just like that. Of course, Li Huailin could not be bothered to explain to Amala, so he said this directly.
Amala saw that Li Huailin was a little angry, so she did not say anything about it. She just shut up. Legg, who was next to him, did not agree to withdraw the troops either. However, they did not have enough troops at the moment, so he said again, "Then, Your Majesty, please send reinforcements immediately. I promise to defend this city. I am willing to make a military pledge."
"No reinforcements," Li Huailin said.
"Huh? Your Majesty, there are only 30,000 troops in the city, and there are many injured soldiers. The current situation is not even enough to stand on the city walls. Without reinforcements, it will be really difficult to defend this city, "Legg immediately said anxiously.
"I suddenly thought of an idea," Li Huailin said. "I'll go and ask."
Li Huailin immediately left, leaving Legg and Amala dumbfounded. Both of them were stunned. What was going on? So what should they do now?
Li Huailin ignored them and immediately went to the Long Corridor Peninsula in the south of the continent. Once again, he found Corranthus in the teleportation array.
"Corranthus, you should have a way to open the Elemental Channel, right?" Li Huailin asked. "I remember that in the last mission, there was a guy who opened the Elemental Channel and summoned an Elemental Lord. That guy seems to be related to Ludwig. Since you said that you taught Ludwig all his spells, you should also know how to open the Elemental Channel, right?"
"Not to open the Elemental Channel," Corranthus said. "But to expand the Elemental Channel. There are a lot of overlaps between the Elemental Plane and this plane. These places are called Elemental Passages. However, part of what you said is correct. I do have a way to expand the overlaps between the two planes. "
"Expanding means that originally only one or two elemental creatures can pass through, but after expanding it, many more can pass through, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Corranthus nodded. "That's probably how you understand it."
"In other words, as long as I find a small Elemental Channel, you have a way to make it larger, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Corranthus nodded. "But the specific size is related to the nature of the channel. In your words, no matter how much you expand it, there will be an upper limit."
"Understood." Li Huailin nodded. "Then what should I do?"
"What do you want to do?" Corranthus asked.
"Release some elemental creatures to this plane." Li Huailin said. "Don't worry, I'm not messing around. As you can see, elemental creatures listen to me now. I have something for them to do. Of course, this is related to my plan. It's also part of the plan to rescue your White Dragon mother. "
"I see." Sure enough, Corranthus immediately believed Li Huailin when it came to the White Dragon Eopham. "Actually, the method is very simple. First, you need to find the location of the Elemental Rift, then tell me the location. I will know the location from the Elemental Plane, and then I will be able to cast the spell."
"How do I tell you?" Li Huailin asked.
"Here." Corranthus handed Li Huailin a white slate. Li Huailin looked at it. It was similar to the slate Li Huailin gave him and the White Dragon Eopham last time. There was nothing on it, and it looked like an ordinary slate.
"Find the location of the rift, then throw this slate into the rift," Corranthus explained. "That way, I will know the connection point between the rift and the Elemental Plane, and then I will be able to cast the spell."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Rifts usually appear where there are more elemental creatures, right?"
"Yes. Where there are elemental creatures, it means that there must be a rift nearby. It's just a matter of size. Try to find a place with more elemental creatures. The rift there is probably bigger," Corranthus nodded.
"Okay, I will look for it." Li Huailin nodded.
