Although the current continent was not stable, for now, the battle between the Human Race and the Undead was indeed the most attractive one. Therefore, as soon as the two sides declared war, spies from all over the continent immediately gathered in the vicinity of Degara City, so the first day's battle report was quickly sent to the hands of the major forces.
The humans were naturally the first to receive the news, and it was through the official channels. McCann immediately sorted out the battle report for the day and reported it. Of course, most of the credit was given to Li Huailin. As for Morpheus and Bruno, they were only mentioned a little. After all, the commander-in-chief was Li Huailin. No matter how powerful his subordinates were, the credit still belonged to him.
"It's really easy when Huailin is personally involved. I didn't expect the 2nd Legion to win two consecutive battles on the first day. They killed 3000 of the enemy and burned down the enemy's main camp," Anthony said happily after reading the battle report.
"It's a little strange …" Queen Marina suddenly said.
"Huh? What's strange? "Anthony asked curiously.
"It doesn't seem like the Duke of Aquitaine's style," Marina said.
"Huh?" Anthony was slightly taken aback. "Huailin's style? What is that?"
"Can't you tell, Your Highness? The Duke of Aquitaine doesn't like to take his time in battles. It doesn't matter what happens in the early stages. It's all about setting up a trap for the opponent. He will slowly lure the opponent into his trap and then kill them with one move. He has sharp eyes and a deep plan … "Marina said." But these two battle reports are a little strange. It's just … too normal. I wouldn't be surprised if it was from Marquis McCann or other generals, but it's hard to imagine if it's from the Duke of Aquitaine … "
"What? Huailin is a marshal, after all. Sometimes, he will fight a more normal battle. Moreover, we have the advantage in terms of military strength and everything else, so there's no need for us to take the risk," Anthony said nonchalantly.
"No … I can't say for others, but the Duke of Aquitaine is definitely not that kind of person," Marina said.
"Oh? Why does it sound like you know my brother better than me? "Anthony said with a smile.
"It's precisely because I know more than you that I'm a little worried." "The Duke of Aquitaine is too shrewd. Your Highness, you've only seen the good side of him. You haven't seen his terrifying side."
"Ha? Did Huailin say anything to you? "Anthony asked curiously.
"No … no …" Marina said, "But for some reason, I just feel very uneasy."
"You're overthinking it. I only feel at ease with Huailin around." Anthony said, "Don't worry, my brother is not a bad person. Queen, don't think too much."
"Yes, Your Highness …" Marina thought for a moment and nodded. It seemed that Anthony trusted Li Huailin very much, and it was useless for her to say anything now. Let's not talk about this for now.
Compared to the humans, the Demons and Orcs were more conflicted. To be honest, they weren't sure if they wanted to see Li Huailin win or lose.
In theory, the Orcs, Demons, and Undead belonged to the Dark Faction and were allies. However, the Orcs and Demons were all beaten up by Li Huailin in the Northern War. Therefore, they should be happy to see their allies join in the war against the humans.
But in reality, both sides weren't very happy. If Li Huailin was defeated by the Undead, it would prove that they didn't know how to fight at all. They were all allies, but if they couldn't defeat Li Huailin, it meant that the opponent was too strong, not them.
Therefore, when the Demons saw that Li Huailin had won two battles in a row on the first day, Emperor Beyzera of the Demons subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. He then said, "As expected, the Undead are no match for that damn Duke."
"I didn't expect the humans to send a second army to fight against the Undead army. It seems that the Undead are doomed this time." Marshal Gordon of the Demons commented. As one of the few people who had fought Li Huailin and survived, Gordon knew how powerful Li Huailin was.
"I don't know what's wrong with the Undead this time. Why did they suddenly declare war on the Human Race? That's fine, but why didn't they tell us about this even though they're our allies?" Beyzera was most dissatisfied with this. Weren't the Undead in the middle of a civil war? That was why they didn't ask them to participate in the Northern War. Why did the Demons suddenly join forces to fight against the humans? And they didn't even tell him about it. It felt like the demons were going to be ignored again. Fortunately, the Undead didn't inform the Beastmen either. This made Beyzera feel a little better.
"This subordinate also feels strange," Gordon chimed in. Gordon chimed in. "Moreover, the Undead did not respond to our inquiries. I really don't understand …"
"…" Beyzera thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Two of the Demon Lords brought all their troops to fight against the humans. Why didn't the other three Demon Lords take the opportunity to attack their territories?"
"Huh?" Gordon was also stunned. "Indeed, we didn't receive any news that the other three Demon Lords are preparing to attack. This is really strange. Could it be that … the Undead have secretly formed an alliance?"
"The five Demon Lords have deep grudges against each other. It won't be easy for them to suddenly form an alliance," Beyzera said after some thought. "Unless …"
"Unless what?" Gordon asked.
"Unless an important figure appears who can make them put aside their prejudices and form an alliance …" Beyzera said.
"What? The Undead have such a figure? Could … could it be that the missing Emperor Kathryn has returned? "Gordon immediately said.
"Kathryn? He should have told me when he returned … "Beyzera and Kathryn had a good relationship, so he was quite confident." This abnormal behavior is really a little alarming. Gordon, we need to pay more attention to this. Immediately send more people to the Undead to check out the situation. "
"Yes, Your Highness," Gordon immediately replied.
The situation on the Beastmen's side was even more complicated. Before they received the battle report, they first received news that Li Huailin wanted to send the woman who was the leader of the Cats over.
This matter was slightly troublesome, mainly because it involved the leader of the Cats, Dungaro. Therefore, the Beastmen still held a meeting to discuss this matter.
The leader of the Cats, Dungaro, objected to this matter without a doubt. It wasn't that he cared about this woman or his illegitimate daughter. He was originally a person who sowed seeds everywhere. To be honest, if it wasn't for Li Huailin mentioning this matter, he wouldn't have known that he had an illegitimate daughter with this woman. If this matter was a private matter, like the kind where nobles sent each other women, Dungaro wouldn't care at all.
However, things were different now. This had already been raised to the level of a national affair. In other words, all the Beastmen knew that the human Duke had asked him for a woman. This couldn't be handled like this. If he casually sent the woman away, where would he put his face? How would he face others in the future? Therefore, as soon as he heard about this matter, Dungaro immediately expressed his objection.
"But the humans are so powerful now, and the Duke of Aquitan is an important minister of the human race. If we reject him now, what if …" the leader of the Sheep, Carairon, said.
"What are you afraid of?!" Dungaro said immediately. "Now that the humans are at war with the Undead Empire, do you think they will attack us?"
"I'm afraid that the undead won't last long," Carairon said. "The human army is more than four times that of the undead, and the one leading the army is the Duke of Aquitan. No matter how I look at it, the undead are doomed."
"The undead army of more than 20,000 can hold the humans back for a few months. It's hard to say what will happen after a few months. By that time, our newly recruited soldiers should be almost trained," Dungaro said. The Beastmen were originally a race that was good at fighting. Ordinary civilians could go to the battlefield after a little training. It was indeed enough to train a qualified army in a few months.
"A few months?" Carairon was not so optimistic. If the Beastmen army of more than 100,000 died in a dozen days, how could the undead hold on for a few months? Were you kidding?
As soon as Carairon finished speaking, a messenger hurriedly ran into the conference hall. "Report, the latest battle report between the humans and the undead. The humans have won a big battle, and the undead have lost 2,300 troops."
"You see … this is only the first day of the second army," Carairon said.
"This is definitely f * cking good luck …" Before Dungaro could finish his sentence, a second messenger immediately rushed into the conference hall.
"Report … the latest battle report between the humans and the undead. The humans have won another big battle, and the undead have lost more than 500 troops. The frontline camp has been burned down, and the troops have retreated ten miles," the messenger hurriedly reported.
"…" All the Beastmen in the conference hall fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Carairon raised his hand and said, "Well, I think it's better to send them over. Does anyone have any objections?"
After saying this, Carairon looked directly at Dungaro. So far, he was the only one who objected.
"No matter what, I, Dungaro, am a man who knows the big picture. It's just a woman. There's no need to hinder the Beastmen's plan for her, right?" Dungaro immediately said.
"Yes, yes." "Chief Dungaro is indeed loyal to the country," the Beastmen beside him quickly praised.
"Then it's decided," Chief Dilba said with a sigh.
