Digas's words were still useful. Squad Leader Lotris thought for a while and decided to bring Digas and Li Huailin to meet the Undead Emperor first. He also knew that with the information Digas had, he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
Under the escort of a group of soldiers, the two headed straight for the Imperial City. Of course, Digas's current condition wasn't very good, so Lotris directly supported him as they walked. The two conversed as they walked, mainly asking about the current situation and Li Huailin's identity.
Li Huailin happened to be walking beside them, so he listened in for a while. Currently, the Undead City was under martial law because Landeville's troops had arrived. The main city had already received the news, but the problem was that they didn't know exactly how many people Landeville's troops had. They only knew that the enemy had taken down many small towns near the main city, and they were coming very fiercely.
Just like Li Huailin, the main city had already known about the rebel army, but their location was too dangerous, so they had no way to deal with them. Originally, they had obtained some information and were ready to act against them. But suddenly, the incident with the Oracle happened, so they had to wait for a while. They didn't expect the enemy to take the initiative to attack.
To be honest, no one expected the enemy to take the initiative to attack. But after receiving the information, the main city responded seriously. After all, since the enemy dared to come, they obviously had something to rely on. Although they didn't know exactly how many people the enemy had, they didn't come to die.
But when he heard Digas's words, Lotris was also shocked. "What? 3,000 people? Are they really here to die? "
That's right, Lotris was also very surprised. He didn't expect the enemy to only have 3,000 people. There were 20,000 soldiers in the city, and there were other royal guards and combat troops. The actual number of troops was far more than that. The enemy dared to attack the main city with only 3,000 people? Weren't they just throwing away their lives?
"But the important thing isn't the number of the enemy's troops," Digas said immediately. "Anyway, I have to report to His Majesty immediately."
Digas didn't intend to explain in detail. Of course, Lotris didn't ask too much. Some information couldn't be obtained by himself. He knew the rules. However, he could still inquire about Li Huailin's identity. After all, it might be related to His Majesty's safety.
"You don't have to ask about that," Digas said after some thought. Indeed, Digas himself could not answer that question. He did not know what was going on with Li Huailin either. To be honest, he didn't know why he followed Li Huailin's instructions and brought him to see the Emperor. He just had a feeling that he needed to do so. Facing Lotris's question, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only play dumb.
Lotris did not pursue the matter. He still trusted Digas. When he heard Digas's words, he thought that he could not know about this matter. Since he could not ask, then he could not ask. Lotris did not insist.
In short, they quickly arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Palace. Lotris went up and explained the situation to the guards at the inner gate. Soon, the guards began to spread the news inside. By the time they arrived at the inner gate of the Imperial Palace, there was already news that the Emperor had decided to meet with the two immediately.
After Lotris brought Li Huailin and the others to the entrance of the Imperial Palace, he changed his guards. They continued to be responsible for patrolling the city. Several Undead soldiers in black armor who looked like Royal Guards brought the two to a room inside the Imperial Palace. Here, Li Huailin also met the Emperor of the Undead on this side of the continent.
There were actually quite a lot of people in the room. Apart from the person sitting in the middle who was obviously the Emperor's subordinate, there were also two people who looked like civil servants. They should be the Emperor's trusted aides. Of course, other than them, there were a few Undead Warriors in the room who were obviously experts. They were all standing by the Emperor's side. Of course, their purpose was to prevent Li Huailin, an unfamiliar person, from harming the Emperor.
The Undead Emperor was wearing a full suit of light armor. He didn't look tall or sturdy. He didn't look like an Emperor who was famous for his bravery in battle. But from the look in his eyes, it could be seen that he still had some thoughts. Judging from the attitude of his subordinates, he seemed to be quite authoritative. Of course, Li Huailin also paid attention to the name of the Undead Emperor. It was displayed as Horace Ledo.
First, of course, was the report from Tigas' side. Tigas immediately reported everything he knew to Emperor Ledo, including all the news he heard from Landville, the Oracle's side, and of course, Li Huailin's side. He basically told Ledo everything that Li Huailin had said to him.
While listening to the report, Ledo's mood was very stable. Even when he heard that the opponent only had 3000 soldiers, he didn't make a fuss. Even when he heard that there were 500 elite soldiers, he didn't make any movements. However, when he heard Tigas talk about Li Huailin, he glanced at Li Huailin in surprise.
After reporting everything he knew, Tigas took a step back. Yes, he was only in charge of gathering intelligence, while the Emperor was in charge of decision-making. That was why Tigas didn't express his opinion and left everything to Emperor Ledo to decide.
On the other hand, Ledo turned his attention to Li Huailin. He trusted Tigas more, which was why he decided to summon him together when he heard that Tigas had brought back a human adventurer. However, he didn't expect the person that Tigas brought back to be so special. Ledo was a little unclear about Li Huailin's identity. After thinking for a while, Ledo said, "Who are you? What faction do you belong to? Why are you interfering in this matter? Or should I say … you are that Oracle? "
"Eh?" Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Huailin in surprise. Yes, they were surprised by Ledo's last sentence. Li Huailin was the Oracle? Tigas also turned his head in surprise. Yes, even he didn't think of this, but it seemed possible.
"Stop joking. I'm also looking for the Oracle, okay?" Li Huailin spread his hands with a forced smile. "You know, if I really was the Oracle, I would definitely admit it immediately. After all, you wouldn't dare to do anything to the Oracle, am I right?"
"Yes …" Ledo nodded. Li Huailin's words weren't wrong. There was no need for the Oracle to hide his identity, so Li Huailin wasn't lying even if he didn't admit it. "So what's your identity? You can't be a passerby who guessed the Oracle's intentions, right? "
"Simply put, I'm an enemy of the Protoss," Li Huailin said directly.
"You're from the Old Race?" Ledo asked immediately. Yes, not long ago, the Protoss had just issued a crusade against the Old Race, so the first person that came to mind was the Old Race.
"There's no need to think so much. I'm just an enemy of the Protoss." Li Huailin said. "What's wrong? Just because I'm a human, I don't represent any faction. Do you think it's that hard to understand?"
"That's a really hard thing to understand," Ledo said. "You want to become an enemy of the Protoss by yourself? Do you think I'll believe that? "
"That's true. If you want to deal with the Protoss, you still need to plan a little." Li Huailin said. "That's why I'm recruiting. That's why I'm looking for you."
"You want us to help you deal with the Protoss?" Ledo smiled slightly. "To be honest, what you said makes sense. When I heard about the location of the Oracle's announcement, I already felt that something was going to happen. After listening to your analysis, I felt enlightened. It seems that things are likely to develop in the direction you said. Of course, I don't want to become a pawn of the Protoss. You just told Digas that you can provide me with a new option. I'd like to hear what that new option is. "
"Didn't I tell you already? On one side is the Divine Race, and on the other side is me, who is opposing the Divine Race. Since you don't want to be a pawn of the Divine Race, just join me and work for me." Li Huailin shrugged.
"Bastard, are you playing with us, human?" Before Ledo could speak, the minister next to him couldn't help but shout at Li Huailin.
"This is a sincere invitation," Ye Zichen said. Li Huailin spread his hands and said. "At present, it seems that it's almost impossible for the Undead to escape this crisis. Everything is going according to the Protoss' plan. If you don't want to be absorbed by the Protoss, you should join my side. "
"It's true that we don't want to be absorbed by the Protoss, but that's on the premise that we don't want to perish." Ledo said, "Then may I ask what capital you have to fight against the Protoss? If joining your side is no different from perishing, why should we consider it?"
It had to be said that Emperor Ledo's political training was quite good. One of his ministers played the good cop, while the other played the bad cop. Their purpose was, of course, to probe Li Huailin's background. Even under such circumstances, Li Huailin was still very calm.
After roughly understanding the situation, Li Huailin nodded. Then, he took out a sword and inserted it into the ground. He smiled and said, "You're talking about capital. What do you think of this capital? Is it worth playing?"
Seeing the dim light that Li Huailin took out, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.
