"What?" Scaras panicked when he heard the news. He immediately turned to look at Li Huailin. Yes, Li Huailin had just asked about the Ancient Tribe, so the first thing that came to his mind when he saw an army was that the Ancient Tribe had come to attack their city.
"Your Majesty … Is it …" Scaras asked immediately.
"How would I know? Ask your men," Li Huailin said.
Skalas thought about it and quickly asked, "Who are they? Where are they from? How many of them are there? "
"My Lord, there are about a thousand of them. They are fully armored, and the soldiers are tall and burly. They look … a bit like the Orc army," the soldier at the door immediately replied.
"Bastard, this is the southernmost part of the continent. Where did the Orc army come from?" Scaras immediately shouted.
Yes, everyone knew that the Orc territory was in the northeast of the continent. This was the southernmost part of the continent, and the two sides were separated by thousands of miles. How could the Orc army come here? The scale of a thousand troops was not a small number. With such a large number, people would definitely notice them no matter where they went. How could they only be discovered here?
"Yes … yes, my Lord, but … they look like Orcs …" the soldier said. "We don't dare to go near them … There are so many of them, and they look …"
"Where are they?" Scaras asked immediately.
"Near the forest in the north of the city," the soldier replied immediately. "My Lord, what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Scaras was, of course, confused. Yes, not all castellans were competent castellans. For a city like Vico Soli, which was located at the southernmost edge of the continent, and it was not a military location, being a castellan here was not much different from being exiled. Scaras was almost the type of person who was forced to become a castellan here. As for the war, Scalas had never fought a war before. He himself thought that no one would come to such a remote small city to fight here. One had to know that the core area of the Huaxia Continent was basically in the inland areas. Basically, after the war in the inland areas, it would be over. How could a remote small city like theirs fight a war? He did not expect to encounter such a thing.
Seeing Scarlas' reaction, Li Huailin had a rough idea of the situation. He thought for a while and said, "Anyway, send someone to negotiate with them first. Let's see what the other party is planning."
"Yes … Yes, quickly send someone to negotiate with them. Let's see what the other party's motive is." Scalas was at a loss. Of course, he listened to Li Huailin.
"Yes, City Lord." Although the soldiers at the door didn't know who Li Huailin was, they knew that the other party must be a big shot based on the appearance of the city lord. They saluted Li Huailin and then left to convey the order.
"Your … Your Majesty, what should we do?" After the soldiers left, Scalas asked hurriedly, "We only have 300 regular soldiers in the city. Why don't we hurry up and recruit more troops?"
When Scalas said to recruit troops, he was actually referring to the recruitment of militia. Currently, in the game, there was no policy to separate the soldiers from the farmers. There was a professional army, which was the so-called regular army. However, the number was generally not very large. When there was a real war, they would usually call for the militia, which was the so-called recruitment of soldiers.
Of course, everyone knew the combat power of the recruitment of soldiers. Basically, they were just there to make up the numbers and could not be considered to have any combat power. Moreover, Weikesoli was originally not a city of the Undead, but a city of the Dwarves. So, if they were to really recruit the militia, they would most likely be the militia of the Dwarves. Then, the Dwarves would not fight with all their might. They might even run away as soon as the battle started, which would be even more troublesome.
"Forget it. If it really is the army of the Undead, you won't be able to stop them even if you recruit more troops." Li Huailin spread out his hands and said, "But on the other hand, their target is not us, so there is no need to be too nervous."
"Your Majesty, the army of the Undead that you are talking about refers to the people that the Gods sent down the oracle to deal with not long ago, right?" Scalas asked. "They … Do they really want to attack the Celestials?"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned at first, but then he understood. Yes, although he had clearly stated that he wanted to go against the Celestials, not everyone knew about this. It was normal for a small city lord like Scalas to not know about this matter. Li Huailin smiled slightly. "Not only them, but I also want to attack the Celestials."
"What?" Scalas was stunned. He looked at Li Huailin in surprise, as if he was trying to determine the authenticity of Li Huailin's words. But soon, he understood that what Li Huailin said should be true. Of course, Scalas panicked. Thinking about Li Huailin's question about the Undead, Scalas thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to use the Undead to deal with the Celestials?"
Although Scalas was timid, he was still an Undead. His belief was in the Great Emperor, so he didn't have much respect for the Celestials. Hearing Li Huailin's words, Scalas didn't have any psychological resistance. He was just afraid that he would die.
"You … You can understand it that way." Li Huailin indeed wanted to let the Undead and the Celestials consume a little of their strength. Of course, the main thing was to see how the Celestials would react.
"Then, does that mean that we don't need to fight the troops outside the city?" Scalas asked immediately. Yes, he was too afraid of fighting. Of course, it would be good if he didn't have to fight.
"That's not necessarily true. What if you don't fight them, but they come to fight you?" Li Huailin spread out his hands and said, "We don't have any contracts with them. Who knows, they might like to find trouble with you."
"Eh?" Scalas was stunned. Before he could say anything, another soldier suddenly ran to the door and said, "My lord, something bad has happened!"
"What happened?" Scalas asked hurriedly. Looking at the time, it seemed that he had already contacted the Undead and was now reporting the results. Looking at the soldier's expression, it didn't seem like a good thing.
"My lord, the other party said that we should obediently hand over the city to them. Otherwise, they will immediately attack the city!" the soldier said anxiously.
"What!" Scalas was so scared that his hands were trembling. Although he didn't want to fight, he certainly didn't want to hand over the city. He was the lord of the city. Only a lord with a city could be called a lord. If he handed over the city, he would be nothing. One had to know that he was the lord of the city after the war with the dwarves. If he handed over the city, where would he go?
Fortunately, Li Huailin was now in front of him, so Scalas hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"What's there to be anxious about?" Li Huailin said calmly. "Since the other party made this request, it means that they don't want to fight, right?"
Scalas was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood. Yes, the other party had the advantage in terms of military strength. Since they had the advantage, why didn't they attack them? They just wanted them to hand over the city. This, of course, meant that the other party didn't want to fight.
"Forget it, I will go and take a look myself," Li Huailin suddenly said after thinking for a moment.
"What?" Scalas stood up in shock. "Your Majesty, you will go personally?"
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded slightly. Yes, he wanted to see what kind of army was outside. He also wanted to ask them if they knew where the Evil Demons were. According to the Marhura tribe, the Evil Demons had contacted them and asked them to gather here. Therefore, this matter must have been led by the Evil Demons. The group of people outside the city should also be in contact with the Evil Demons. Therefore, Li Huailin was going to ask them directly. After all, he was looking for the Evil Demons anyway.
"Your Majesty, I will send someone to protect you!" Scalas said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, forget about the few people under you. Don't send them to their deaths." Li Huailin spread his hands. "By the way, help me do something."
"This … Your Majesty, please tell me." Scalas thought for a moment and nodded.
"Ask your men to investigate in the city and see if there are any strange people living in the city recently," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "Or perhaps some strange strangers have appeared. By the way, there is no need to investigate the hotel next to the teleportation array center. Investigate everything else."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although he did not know what Li Huailin was planning, this matter was still very simple. At least, it was easier than fighting a war. Of course, Scalas agreed immediately. "Your Majesty, if you find someone, do you want to arrest him or …"
"Collect information and report to me," Li Huailin said calmly. "Go."
After giving these instructions, Li Huailin immediately went out. Because there were enemies invading, the north gate of the city was, of course, closed. Li Huailin waved his hand and rode on Millet and flew out. After flying for a while to the north, Li Huailin saw a forest. Yes, it was the forest north of the city that Scalas had mentioned before. From the air, he looked around and saw an army in the forest. The army was dressed very ostentatiously. Li Huailin could clearly see some armored soldiers in the forest below. Of course, at this time, the people below must have seen Li Huailin. Such a huge dragon flying in the sky, even a blind man could see it.
No matter when, a dragon was a huge threat. They did not know how low Millet's attributes were. Anyway, when they saw the dragon appear, the whole army stood up and pulled out their weapons. It seemed like they were ready to fight. Li Huailin took the opportunity to land.
