Molten Iron City, Dwarven Palace. Li Huailin had arrived at a place that looked like a treasure vault. There were all kinds of good things that the Dwarven Empire had kept for the past 200 years. Of course, there was also a lot of money. But when he heard that the Dwarf King had run away, Li Huailin knew that some of the things inside might have been taken away. When he came in, he saw that a lot of the things that should have been there were now empty.
But even so, there were still a lot of things left. At the very least, there were chests of gold coins piled up there. There were also a lot of things that looked more valuable, like handicrafts. Li Huailin waved his hand and snatched them.
"Sigh, what a pity!" Saimos said. "I heard that there were a lot of modern dwarven weapons in the treasure vault. Now, they are all gone. I guess the king took them with him when he ran away."
"General, what's our next step? Do we continue to chase after the Dwarf King?" Michael asked.
"Continue to chase?" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "Not for now. Molten Iron City is so big. I think it will take a few days. I guess when the dwarves hear that the reinforcements have been defeated, they will surrender soon. If they surrender, there will be no more looting. Let's use these few days to snatch the guns."
"General, why don't we take advantage of these few days to catch up with the Dwarf King? Maybe we can directly snatch back the things he took away." Saimos seemed to be holding a grudge against the weapons. He immediately suggested, "If we send our swords to chase after him, I think we can catch up with him in half a day."
"The problem now is that we don't know which city he escaped to." Li Huailin said, "The Prime Minister won't say anything, and the soldiers don't even know about it. By the time we figure out where he went, they will probably have surrendered. It's better to snatch as much as we can now."
"Uh … that's true." Saimos touched his head and said.
"Let's loot in Molten Iron City for the next two days. I'll leave Michael's work to you. I'll go back to the main city and see how the situation is over there." Li Huailin thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, Marshal." Macken nodded. The war on this side was basically over. All that was left were the rebels in the main city and the Demons who had invaded the territory of the undead. Li Huailin was now the Grand Marshal, so he had to rush back to take charge of the overall situation. Macken was not surprised.
After handing over the work, Li Huailin returned to the City of God Blessed with a few thugs from the headquarters. Of course, the first thing he did was to go to the palace. Li Huailin had the right to enter and exit the palace as he pleased. Moreover, it was a time of war, so naturally, no one would stop him. However, he learned from the soldiers at the entrance that the palace was having a meeting about the war.
In the meeting hall of the palace, there was indeed a meeting being held. Of course, the main content of the meeting was about the rebels on the west side of the main city. The rebels were now very close to the main city, and it was estimated that they would reach the main city in the middle of the night. Right now, there were no troops that could stop them. Only the 15,000 royal guards in the city were left. This made all the ministers and nobles in the city very nervous. Although the Grand Marshal Li Huailin was now in charge of the battle, Li Huailin was still commanding the battle with the dwarves. They could only come to King Anthony.
"Your Highness, if the rebels surround the main city, even if they can't take us down, we will still lose face. We can't let them reach the city, no matter what," a minister said.
"That's right, Your Highness. The First Legion is confronting the dwarves in the south. The Fourth Legion is at the Henasand Camp. It's only two days away from the main city. Why don't you summon them back to defend the main city? The Demons have already retreated."
Basically, all the ministers were still unaware of Li Huailin's plan to summon the Fourth Legion to help the undead. They were all wondering why the Fourth Legion didn't come back to defend the main city. After all, if the Fourth Legion came back to defend the main city, it would be much safer than if the Fourth Legion came back with 15,000 troops.
"I've already said that the Duke of Aquitaine is the Grand Marshal. All the legions are under his command, so I can't ask about this matter." On the other side, Anthony was a little annoyed by the noise. Of course, he knew what the ministers were scheming. Of course, they hoped that their interests in the main city could be preserved to the greatest extent. That was why they were so afraid of death and still pretended to be thinking for the country. It really made him very unhappy. "If you have any opinions about the Duke of Aquitaine's battle plan, you can tell him. Or, could it be that you're not satisfied with the title of Grand Marshal that I've made? Do you want me to change someone else?"
"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare …" The ministers immediately said. It was fine if it was anyone else, but they really couldn't afford to offend Li Huailin. Not only did they have a very high impression of Li Huailin, but he was also a little too ruthless. Everyone was afraid of him. "The Duke of Aquitaine is the best Marshal in the Empire. He's the most suitable to be the Grand Marshal during wartime.
"Then what else are you saying?" Anthony asked.
"But … I still feel that the defense of the main city is still … No matter what, Your Highness is still in the main city … Even if it's for Your Highness, we should put the 4th Legion …" The minister wanted to continue, but before he could finish, a sudden announcement came from behind.
"The Duke of Aquitaine has arrived."
"Oh, Huailin is here?" Anthony was delighted. "Men, bring the seats."
Two soldiers immediately brought the seats over, and all the ministers immediately turned to the gate, just in time to see Li Huailin walk into the palace hall. In an instant, the ministers who were whispering to each other immediately fell silent, as if everyone had suddenly pressed the mute button.
"Huailin, why are you back?" At this time, the only person who could speak normally was Anthony. However, seeing Li Huailin appear, Anthony was a little surprised, because Li Huailin should still be presiding over the battle with the Dwarves. Looking at the time, he should be attacking the opponent's main city, Molten Iron City.
"I'm done over there, so I came back to deal with the problem here," Li Huailin said as he sat down on a chair.
"Done? The main city of the Dwarves, Molten Iron City, has been conquered? "Anthony asked. This speed was really fast.
"The king ran away with his troops, and there are only a few hundred soldiers left. There's nothing much to fight, so I finished it in half an hour," Li Huailin said.
"But the 70,000 Dwarves' reinforcements should be returning soon, right? Are our troops going to defend Molten Iron City?" Anthony asked.
"You mean the 70,000 reinforcements? Oh, I've already taken care of them, "Li Huailin said casually.
"What?!" A group of ministers, including Anthony, exclaimed before the main city received the news.
"Is it true, Duke? Have those 70,000 reinforcements really been wiped out? "Prime Minister Mach stepped out and asked.
"Of course, it's only 70,000 troops. Is it difficult to defeat them? Maccon will send the battle report over soon. Anyway, the battle over there is basically over, so I'm going to deal with the situation here, "Li Huailin said.
"It's only been half a day …" The ministers had yet to recover from the shock and murmured.
"It's really a good choice to leave the battle to you." Anthony was also a little surprised, but he quickly recovered, "In this case, the Dwarves won't be able to fight anymore. I guess they will immediately come here to surrender."
Although they were a little surprised, the ministers didn't think that Li Huailin was joking. After all, the battle report would be sent soon, and it couldn't be faked. It was a good thing that the battle over at the Dwarves' side was over. The main thing was that the 2nd Legion could return, but distant water couldn't put out a nearby fire. It would take the 2nd Legion at least a week to return from the Dwarves' side. Even the 1st Legion would need about four days to return, and now the rebel army was not far from the main city. It was impossible for them to make it in time.
"Duke, now that the problem with the Dwarves has been solved, what should we do about the rebel army in the main city? We only have 15,000 Royal Guards left, and the other side has 40,000 soldiers. Can we only defend the city and wait for other troops to come and rescue us?" Mach asked.
"Yes, Duke, we should immediately transfer the 4th Legion back. If we give the order now, the 4th Legion will return to the main city the day after tomorrow, and should be able to eliminate the rebel army," another minister said.
"The 4th Legion must attack now," Li Huailin said. "Our target is the Demons in the east."
"Attack the Demons?" The human ministers were a little surprised. "Why? The Demons haven't attacked us yet. They are fighting with the Undead. Isn't it better to let them fight each other?"
It was good for the humans, but it wasn't good for Li Huailin that the Undead were defeated. Although the Undead army was ready to return, it would take at least a week for them to go back. During this week, the Demons would cripple the Undead. So he immediately said, "The Undead have reached an agreement with me. This time, the Undead have helped a lot in attacking the Dwarves, so the humans should also show some appreciation."
"But Duke, I always feel that something is wrong. Why would the Undead cooperate with us? I always feel that they have bad intentions. This time, the Demons attacking the Undead will weaken them a little. It won't do us any harm," Mach said.
Listening to Mach's words, Li Huailin also had a headache. He couldn't tell them that he was the boss of the Undead. Now, the main concept of the humans was still not accepting the Undead. It was probably impossible for the two sides to suddenly get along …
While he was having a headache, a soldier suddenly ran to the door of the hall and reported, "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the Deputy Marshal of the Dwarves' 2nd Legion, Marquis Macken, has sent someone over. He said that he has an urgent report to the Marshal."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. He had just left, and there was actually an urgent report? He didn't know what it was, so he nodded and said, "Got it. I'll go and see."
