Of course, Marshal Millaing didn't expect that the people from another continent would appear in the Demons' army. Everything happened so fast that Marshal Millaing couldn't react in time.
After Li Huailin and Duke Vatori finished their discussion, Li Huailin thought of this idea. Initially, he planned to attack the Demons' main city and let the Demons' army return on their own. Then, he would use the same method on the Elves. That way, there would only be 100,000 Elves left.
Indeed, Li Huailin's current army only had 30,000 soldiers, which couldn't even stand on the city wall. However, it didn't matter. The 100,000 Elves couldn't even surround the main city. According to the crazy defense of the main city, it was basically impossible to take it down. However, this matter wasn't that simple. Firstly, the war would definitely last for a long time. Accidents could happen at any time, and Li Huailin couldn't be bothered to care about it. Secondly, the elemental creatures here were too disobedient. After the first time, Li Huailin really didn't want to do it again.
Therefore, after Duke Vatori proposed to surrender, Li Huailin thought of another idea. Anyway, the Demons' army must be following the human army to take advantage of the situation. Wasn't that perfect?
Therefore, Li Huailin left the fire elementals behind and followed Duke Vatori to the Demons' camp. He found the commander of the Demons' army, Marshal Edhelaine. Of course, just like what Li Huailin thought, the Demons were just following behind the human army and waiting for an opportunity to attack. Of course, they wanted to wait until the human army and the army of another continent started fighting. Then, they would act according to the situation. This was, of course, the most profitable way for them.
Marshal Edthelaine was slightly surprised to see Duke Valtori in the barracks. Duke Valtori didn't even come to greet him. Of course, Li Huailin was even more surprised. Edhelaine was wondering why Duke Vatori would appear here with a human. When Duke Vatori explained, Edhelaine was completely stunned.
"What? The fire elemental army is attacking the main city? " Obviously, Edmund hadn't received the news yet because his troops were currently in human territory, after all. Communication wasn't as fast as when he was in the encampment, and he hadn't received news of the fire elemental troops' attack.
Of course, it was impossible for Edceline to understand why a huge army of fire elementals would suddenly appear behind him, and it was actually led by a human adventurer. If Duke Valtori didn't explain it to him personally, Edceline wouldn't have believed it at all.
Following Duke Valtori's introduction, Adeline's expression became even more solemn because the current situation was too terrible. At first, he thought that Duke Wattori wanted him to return to the army, but he didn't expect Emperor Ebodix to run away with his troops. Hearing this news, Marshal Edelaine couldn't help but curse. What the hell was this? They didn't even fight, but they actually ran away with the treasures. What kind of emperor was this?
Yes, Marshal Edelaine didn't really like this emperor. The main reason was, of course, Ebodix. He only liked to earn money, and his vision was narrow. He only knew how to squeeze the civilians in the country and make them pay higher taxes in order to earn money. Edelaine was a marshal, and his idea was, of course, to expand the territory, strengthen the army, and fight against the humans. However, Ebodix didn't want to do that at all. The reason was, of course, the expensive military expenses.
It was said that when a cannon fired, it would be worth ten thousand taels of gold. Although there was no need for cannons in the war here, the military expenses were still frighteningly high. In order to fight against the previously strong human Dorym Empire, the Demons had no choice but to build a relatively large army, and the annual military expenses were quite huge. Although Edelaine felt that it was still not enough and wanted to expand the army, Ebodix refused. He felt that the money was deducted by him, so why should he give it to the Demons to fight for fun?
Of course, it was also because the Dorym Empire was indeed very strong, which caused the war between the Demons and the humans to not go very smoothly. If they couldn't win, of course, they couldn't earn money from the war. Of course, the more they couldn't earn money, the more Ebodix felt that the war was useless. It was a vicious cycle.
To be honest, if it weren't for the foresight of Duke Valtory and Prime Minister Dornsmay, who worked together to persuade Emperor Ebodix, Marshal Edelaine's several reasonable military requests would have been canceled by Ebodix. Of course, under their persuasion, Ebodix finally agreed to some of his requests to expand the army and increase their equipment. However, Ebodix's attitude really made Edelaine uncomfortable.
Duke Valtory wasn't lying when he said that he had some relationship with Edelaine. The relationship between the two was really good. In theory, this situation was simply impossible in a large empire. After all, if one of them was the marshal of the empire, and the other was the duke of the empire, a great noble, or even a member of the royal family, if the two of them were related, the emperor would definitely start to suspect the two of them. But it was different here. Emperor Ebodix really didn't care about this kind of problem. He only knew how to make money, and he didn't care about other government affairs. On the other hand, Duke Valtori was deeply trusted by Ebodicus. The reason was simply that Duke Valtori was good at making money. The few plans he proposed could all help Ebodicus earn more money, so Ebodicus trusted him a lot.
Duke Valtory was really good for the Demons Empire. Otherwise, he wouldn't have assisted Ebodix to ascend to the throne for the stability of the country. He would have usurped the throne himself. So, of course, he was very friendly to Marshal Edelaine, the commander of the empire's army. Of course, Edelaine also felt that Duke Valtory was very good. In his opinion, if it weren't for Duke Valtory's help, this country would have been finished long ago. With an emperor like this in power, he only cared about making money and nothing else. The neighboring human empire was so powerful that it couldn't be played at all.
Of course, although Edelaine didn't like this emperor, he was still loyal to the empire. So, Duke Valtory surrendered to Li Huailin, of course, Edelaine didn't agree. So after hearing about the current situation, Adeline furrowed his brows.
"What exactly do you want to do, Your Excellency?" Edelaine asked Li Huailin after thinking for a while.
"Generally speaking, I'm a very sociable person. If people don't provoke me first, I won't look for trouble with them." Li Huailin smiled and said, "You have to understand that the Demons declared war on us first. Now, what do you think I want to do?"
"We can stop the war," Edelaine said immediately.
"Then, you want me to wait for you to form an army to overthrow the rule of that stupid emperor and establish a more powerful regime for the Demons. Then, you'll work hard and finally come back to defeat us, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "You're right. If I were retarded, I would agree to stop the war with you."
"What are your conditions?" Edelaine's face darkened as he asked.
"No other conditions. The new Demons government just needs to join the Continental Alliance," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"That's impossible!" Edelaine said immediately. "How can the Nevill Empire join the forces of another continent?"
"If you don't want to join, I can talk to that idiot emperor of yours. I believe that emperor is easier to talk to." Li Huailin said with a smile, "Now, we will take my fire elemental army to attack the city where your emperor is. He will definitely ask you to come back and defend. If you come back, you will have to face my fire elemental army. If you don't come back, it will be considered a defiance. I will immediately ally with your emperor and support him to continue to be the emperor. Then, I will let my fire elemental army attack you. Of course, if you think that your current army can fight against my fire elemental army, you can also try this plan."
"You …" Edelaine was furious. He wanted to hack Li Huailin to death, but he was stopped by Duke Vatori who was next to him. Yes, this plan was too vicious. From Duke Vatori's description, Edelaine knew how huge Li Huailin's fire elemental army was. It would be too difficult for him to defeat them with just a few hundred thousand people. Most importantly, his own army had been consumed by the fire elemental army. Even if he could win, they would continue to rebel and overthrow the emperor. Moreover, the emperor had troops by his side. This was simply impossible.
Of course, Li Huailin's plan was really feasible. If Li Huailin wanted to, he could really do it. Besides, the idiot emperor, Ebodix, was obviously easier to control. If he had the time, Li Huailin might really choose this plan. However, the problem was that he didn't have the time. Li Huailin really didn't want to waste time here. It didn't matter to him who the emperor was. He just needed to stabilize the situation now.
Duke Vatori was more inclined to surrender now. The reason was very simple. Li Huailin's fire elemental army was now not far from the main city. The main city had no defense at all. If Li Huailin gave the order, the main city could be destroyed easily. When the main city was destroyed, the Demons would suffer heavy losses. There was really nothing they could do. Therefore, when Duke Vatori came here, he had already thought about it. No matter what, he would first join Li Huailin's side. Therefore, he began to persuade Edelaine.
Although Edelaine was very unhappy, he also understood the situation. Coupled with Duke Vatori's persuasion, he finally reluctantly agreed to Li Huailin's plan. Of course, joining Li Huailin's side wasn't something that could be casually done. First, one had to prove their allegiance. And this allegiance was, of course, the 3rd Corps of the Human Race.
