"Your Majesty, is it really okay for us to do this?" In a room in the palace, a minister whispered to Emperor Ledo. Of course, at this time, Li Huailin was sitting not far from the two of them. However, he didn't seem to be paying attention to them, which was why the minister asked in a low voice.
"I can't convince myself not to listen to the sword wielder's orders." Emperor Ledo sighed. "Do you?"
The minister immediately fell silent. That's right, after Li Huailin took out the gloomy light, the matter was quickly decided. In the eyes of the Undead, the gloomy light was more useful than the imperial jade seal. Basically, the person who held it could directly command the entire Undead Race.
To be honest, Ledo didn't have any special faith in the gloomy light. This thing was supposed to be a legendary thing. He was doing well as an Emperor, so why would he find himself a boss? At least, in his opinion, it was better if this thing didn't appear. However, the problem was that it really appeared, and he couldn't disobey it. Even if he didn't listen to Li Huailin, the Undead would still listen to Li Huailin. Simply put, with this thing, Li Huailin could directly command the entire Undead Race. If he didn't listen to it? If it was any other Emperor, they would be able to do as they pleased.
That was why Ledo very wisely chose to cooperate with Li Huailin. Now, not only did the problems not decrease, but they also seemed to have increased. Not to mention the Divine Race's matter, there was also a sword wielder. This was really too lively.
"There's no need to look so worried." Li Huailin's voice suddenly sounded, causing the two who were whispering to each other to be slightly startled.
"How can I not be worried …" Ledo sighed and said, "The problem now is how to deal with the Divine Race."
That's right, since they had decided to work with Li Huailin, of course Ledo wouldn't consider the Divine Race. However, they had no confidence in going against the Divine Race in the current situation. Li Huailin did not tell them about his plan to deal with the Celestials, and they did not know Li Huailin's exact identity. From their point of view, Li Huailin was just a human adventurer who had just obtained the Divine Sword. What confidence did they have?
"My lord." Lei Duo didn't know how to address Li Huailin, so he could only call him Lord. "Do you know what it means to go against the God Race?"
"I can tell just by looking at your face," Li Huailin said with a smile, "If it were so simple, would you have such a sad face?"
"Yes, my lord." Ledo said, "It can be said that it's impossible for the Undead to deal with the Divine Race, even if we use all of our strength. You know about the Elves, right? Not long ago, the Divine Race issued an extermination order against the Elves. Now, the Elves' main city has almost been taken over by the five allied countries. Our Undead has also participated in this battle. Therefore, the other side doesn't need to do anything else. Just by gathering the armies of the other countries to encircle us, our Undead Empire will not be able to hold on. "
"Wow, is it really that amazing?" Li Huailin looked very surprised.
"…" Lei Duo looked at Li Huailin and did not speak. After a moment of silence, he said solemnly, "My lord, although you have the Divine Sword Light and can command the entire Undead, if you really want the Undead to die, I will not follow you."
"And then?" Li Huailin spread out his hands and said, "What if you don't follow me?"
"…" Lei Duo really did not know what to say. If Li Huailin casually waved his arm and said that the Undead would die for him, it was estimated that a lot of people would follow him. What could Lei Duo say? He really could not stop it. The only thing he could do was to protect his own life.
"But don't worry, I really don't have such thoughts." Li Huailin said, "I know what you are worried about, but I have no intention of sending the Undead to die for now. I just want to tell you that you can't stop me from doing what I want to do, so I think it's better for you to cooperate with me obediently. I know better than you how strong the Gods are. I have my own plans on how to deal with them, but it's too troublesome to explain it to you now. I don't think it's necessary. You just need to listen to my orders. What do you think? "
Lei Duo still frowned. Yes, he really believed that Li Huailin knew how strong the Gods were. His words just now were just a little test of Li Huailin. After thinking for a moment, Lei Duo asked, "My lord, what are your orders now?"
"I need to know the movements of the Gods." Li Huailin said seriously, "You also know that the Undead have never believed in the Gods. For the Gods, you are just a dispensable race. You won't be of any benefit to them, but of course, there won't be any big hindrance. However, their behavior this time is very strange. This time, the Gods set up a trap to pull you in, so they definitely want you to do something important. What I want to know is what they want you to do. "
"Yes." Hearing Li Huailin's words, Lei Duo also nodded seriously. "Yes, I also feel that it's a bit strange. The movements of the Gods are very strange. Our Undead don't believe in them, but we still don't dare to openly oppose them. Just like the extermination order of the Elves. Although we didn't want to participate, we still sent an army to participate. That's the reason. But I don't know why they actually launched this plan against us … "
"That's why I need you to meet with the God's envoy. The most important thing is to ask them what they want," Li Huailin said.
"In other words, we don't need to directly oppose the Gods?" Lei Duo asked. He thought that Li Huailin wanted to wait for the God's envoy to arrive before directly killing him and using this as an excuse to start a war with the Gods.
"Not for the time being. Don't you feel relieved?" Li Huailin smiled. "But it's only a matter of time."
"It seems like Sir really has a plan. I'm relieved," Lei Duo said. "Understood, I'll do as you say."
Li Huailin directly asked Lei Duo to discuss this matter with the God's envoy. On one hand, it wasn't appropriate for him to step in. On the other hand, after the probe, Li Huailin felt that Lei Duo's political skills were quite good. He wasn't like the Undead in Hua Xia, who were full of fools. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for him to negotiate with the God's envoy. As for himself, he would just listen on the side for the time being.
Therefore, the group waited in the room for news. Of course, the first news that came was not good news. Of course, with the current situation, Lei Duo didn't need to avoid Li Huailin from listening to the report. Therefore, Li Huailin naturally knew what was going on.
First, Landeville's army had arrived first. Indeed, it was as the report said. The Undead had already confirmed the approximate number of the enemy's army. There were indeed around 3000 people. The enemy's army was already near the city, but they didn't plan to attack immediately. Needless to say, the enemy was waiting for their reinforcements.
Under normal circumstances, after understanding the enemy's army's configuration, Lei Duo could take the initiative to attack the enemy's army. Perhaps they could even wipe them out in one fell swoop before the enemy's reinforcements arrived. However, Lei Duo didn't make a move because Li Huailin didn't agree.
Yes, to Li Huailin, he wasn't here to win a battle. His goal this time was to investigate the Divine Race's movements. Therefore, it didn't matter whether they won or not. In other words, it would be better if they were defeated badly. That way, the God's envoy might appear sooner.
After waiting for a while, a new report came in. Sure enough, there was a small group of reinforcements heading towards the main city. Moreover, they came from behind Landeville's troops. Needless to say, they were the 500 reinforcements.
After waiting for a while, the battle began. Even Li Huailin could hear the loud noises coming from the west wall. Standing on the balcony of the room, Li Huailin looked in the direction of the western city gate. A huge fireball soared into the sky. Li Huailin didn't know who was using fire magic to attack, but he also saw that this fire magic was blocked. Of course, it was also blocked by magic. There were also Mages in the main city to resist.
"Your Majesty, someone suddenly arrived outside the city and asked to see you." At this moment, someone suddenly came in and reported, "He said that he has something very important to tell Your Majesty. He must speak to Your Majesty face to face."
"Eh?" Lei Duo glanced at Li Huailin and said, "He's here? Isn't it a bit early? "
Yes, although the attack had already begun, the Undead weren't at a disadvantage yet. The outer city hadn't been breached yet, and the enemy's envoy had already arrived? According to Lei Duo's thoughts, since the other party was here to persuade them, he should have waited until they were on the verge of collapse. He didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
Although it was a little strange, Lei Duo still nodded and said, "Bring him here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier received the order and left. The room suddenly quieted down. Everyone knew that the person below was the God's envoy. Of course, it was a little stressful to face him, especially in such a situation. Lei Duo also took a deep breath. Li Huailin also retreated a little and retreated into the room on the side.
Not long after, the soldier arrived with some people. However, to everyone's surprise, it wasn't just one person. There were six or seven people.
"Uh … What the heck?" Li Huailin, who was observing the situation from a gap, was stunned when he saw the people who came in. Then, he facepalmed. "These guys can be trusted? It can't be. "
