Li Huailin was a little confused. He had basically handed over all the work to Maccon, and Maccon was basically in charge of everything. He didn't know why Maccon was looking for him. After dealing with the ministers, Li Huailin teleported back to Molten Iron City and quickly found Maccon, who was still busy in the Dwarven Palace.
"Maccon, what's going on?" Li Huailin asked as he walked over.
"Marshal, it's not about me. As soon as you left, the undead sent someone over. He said he had something important to discuss with you. I told him you had gone back to the main city, but he still said it was something important, so I had no choice but to send someone to inform you," Maccon said. "That's not the case.
"Undead?" Li Huailin was a little surprised, but he couldn't think of anything, so he asked the undead soldier to come over.
The undead soldier that was brought over, Li Huailin looked a little familiar. He seemed to be Soudeis's adjutant. As soon as he arrived, the undead soldier said, "Your Highness, His Lordship has something very important to discuss with you."
"Oh." Hearing how the undead soldier addressed him, Li Huailin immediately understood that the undead soldier wasn't looking for him, but Emperor Wotcha. However, he still didn't know why Soudeis was looking for him. After all, Soudeis had basically arranged everything. If there were no accidents, he shouldn't be looking for Li Huailin. Soudeis was also a smart man, so he guessed that something big must have happened for him to be in such a hurry. Li Huailin had to go and take a look.
Following the adjutant, Li Huailin changed into a black robe and went to the undead camp. The undead camp was still not far from where the Dwarven reinforcements were fighting. It was a little far from Molten Iron City, and there was no way to teleport between the two sides, so they could only rely on Millet to fly over. When they arrived, the Undead army was still cleaning up the battlefield. After all, the dead were Dwarf soldiers, and the quality of their corpses was much higher than that of ordinary civilians. These corpses were very good materials for the Undead, so they had to carry them all back without leaving a single one behind.
"Your Highness." When Soudeis saw Li Huailin, he immediately walked over. Of course, Markham and Sulfur also received the news and immediately rushed over.
"Your Highness, I killed the enemy's general with my own hands. This is a great achievement, right?" Sulfur was still bragging about his achievements. Once he saw Li Huailin, he beamed with joy.
"Do you want me to give you a big red flower?" Li Huailin said, "What's so urgent? I don't have much time now."
"Your Highness, there is a very urgent matter here. We can't make the decision by ourselves. Your Highness, please take a look at this letter." Soudeis said as he handed over a letter.
Li Huailin was a little puzzled as he took a look. It turned out to be a surrender letter. The content of the letter stated that a person was ready to pledge loyalty to him, Emperor Wocha. However, the person wanted to meet him first and swear an oath. Li Huailin looked at the inscription on the letter. The name was Mattheson.
After a while, Li Huailin tried to recall who he knew. He couldn't remember this name, but he felt like he had heard it somewhere before.
"Who is this guy?" Li Huailin asked curiously.
"Your Highness, are you asking about Mattheson?" Soudeis asked.
"Nonsense, of course I'm asking about this guy. Who is this guy? Why would he pledge loyalty to me? Apart from you and the other lords, who else knows about my whereabouts?" Li Huailin asked.
"Your Highness, I think it's because you've appeared in our camp so many times that people on the continent have noticed your existence," Maxim said. "Although it hasn't been announced to the public, I think some people have already guessed it. With Mattheson's ability, I'm guessing that your identity is not far off."
"Oh? From your tone, it seems like you're very familiar with this Mattheson? What's going on? "Li Huailin asked.
"Hmph, that traitor still wants to come back?" Sulfur snorted and said, "Your Highness, don't be deceived by that guy. He's a traitor, a villain."
"Oh, traitor. This is getting more and more interesting." Li Huailin was a little curious. "Soudeis, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, it's like this." Soudeis replied, "This Mattheson should've been one of the Great Lords of the Undead Race. However, you also know that four years ago, Emperor Carcery suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. Our lords also split up and started a four-year civil war. However, at that time, there was actually a sixth lord. This person was Mattheson."
"The sixth? I've never heard of this, "Li Huailin said.
"Because Mattheson made a different choice from us. Although we were fighting against each other, we were still the lords of the Undead Empire. However, after Emperor Carcery disappeared, Mattheson suddenly announced that he was leaving the Undead Empire. Soon after, he joined the Demons …" Soudeis said.
"Joined the Demons?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "In other words, he took his territory and directly joined the Demons?"
"Yes." Soudeis nodded. "His territory was originally adjacent to the Demons. After he joined the Demons, the Demons still conferred him the title of Great Lord. His territory didn't change, but he changed his title. He jumped out of the war between us."
"Oh, this is a good way to avoid a civil war," Li Huailin said. "It seems that this Mattheson is smart."
"He's really smart," Sulfur said. "However, I still look down on him. He actually joined the Demons. Isn't that the behavior of a traitor? If it weren't for you guys always making things difficult for me, I would've beaten him up a long time ago. Especially you, Maxim. "
"Nonsense. You always provoke me first, okay?" Maxim and Sulfur didn't get along well, so the two were about to quarrel.
"Alright, shut up." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "In other words, this Mattheson was originally an Undead. During the civil war, he turned to the Demons. Now that he guessed my identity, he wants to return to the Undead, right?"
"That should be the case." Soudeis nodded. "We can't decide this. After all, he also betrayed the Undead. Moreover, I always feel … something is wrong with this guy."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"He … how do I put it? He is a very crazy alchemist and master engineer. He is very passionate about research. During the era of Emperor Carcery, he basically developed all the new weapons and equipment for the Undead. Emperor Carcery trusted him very much, but he doesn't have a good relationship with us. I feel a little …"
"Weird!" Sulfur interrupted. "This guy is a freak. I don't know what he's thinking, but I always feel that he always has bad intentions."
"And … I always feel that Emperor Carcery's disappearance has something to do with him," Maxim suddenly said.
"Oh? Really? What happened? "Li Huailin asked.
"Err, Your Highness, I don't have any evidence. However, the last person Emperor Carcery summoned was this Matthew. After Emperor Carcery disappeared, Matthew didn't say anything about it. Then, he suddenly joined the Demon race. How can you not suspect him?" Maxim said. "That's right.
"Oh, it does sound a little suspicious," Sulfur said.
"You're only thinking about this now …" Li Huailin held his forehead. "In short, the three of you don't want him to come back?"
"No, Your Highness. Actually, I agree," Soudeis suddenly said.
"Oh? Why? "Li Huailin asked.
"Your Highness, the Demons are currently attacking us, and Mattheson happens to be on the Demons' side. Mattheson is a Great Lord, and he has an army of more than ten thousand soldiers in his territory. If he joins us, we can instantly catch the Demons off guard," Soudeis said.
"Even so, I still feel that Mattheson is too suspicious," Maxim said. "Although his army might be of help to us, I still don't want him to come back."
"Me too. I don't want this traitor to come back," Sulfur immediately said.
"In other words, there's one vote in favor and two votes against. So, let me make the decision, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness. We can only give our opinions on this matter. Your decision is our final decision," Soudeis said.
"Yes, Your Highness. We will listen to you," Sulfur also said.
"Anyway, let's meet him first. I want to see what kind of person he is. By the way, although the letter says that he wants to meet me, it doesn't say where," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, a messenger has arrived. He says that he is Mattheson's confidant. Your Highness, do you want to meet him first?" Soudeis said.
"Alright, tell him to come," Li Huailin nodded.
Soon, Soudeis arrived with his men. Li Huailin was sitting in his seat, waiting. When he saw the person enter the room, he almost fell from his seat.
"Crap? Why is it you, you idiot? " Li Huailin looked at the person who came in with a face full of shock. That familiar face, that familiar movement. Wasn't this the clown who had been performing suicidal stunts in front of him since the beginning of the newbie village? Wasn't this Yaze?
"Huh? Your Highness … You know me? " Yaze was stunned. When he saw Li Huailin, he thought that this was the person he was looking for, but how did he know him?
"Ahem …" Li Huailin almost forgot that he was now Wocha. He immediately sat up straight and said, "Ahem, you look familiar. You are Mattheson's confidant … Why do I suddenly feel that Mattheson's IQ is a few levels lower … Alright, tell me about it."
