It was night time in the main human city, God-blessed City. However, the main city's palace was still brightly lit. They had just received a report that the rebel army was very close to the main city. They were about 20 to 30 miles away from the main city. In other words, if they wanted to, they only needed to march for another hour or so to reach the main city. Unexpectedly, the rebel army did not choose to continue their march.
A soldier rushed to Anthony's side and reported, "Report! The rebel army has stopped advancing and is preparing to set up camp about 30 kilometers west of the main city."
"Strange. They were advancing so quickly before, so why did they suddenly stop?" Anthony asked.
"I'm afraid they received news that the Dwarven reinforcements were completely annihilated," Prime Minister Mach suddenly said. Prime Minister Mach suddenly said, "After all, there are no troops left to stop the first and second corps. The two main forces will be able to return to the main city immediately. I think the rebel army is also considering whether they can take down the main city during this period of time and whether they should attack or not."
"Yes." Anthony nodded.
"If they escape again, we'll be in trouble," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "It took a lot of effort to lure them out. If the cavalry arrives, we'll be able to attack tonight."
"Anyway, it's a good thing that they didn't attack the main city immediately," Anthony said. "However, we still can't relax. Strengthen the defense and reconnaissance in case they launch a sneak attack."
"Yes, Your Highness." The commander of the Royal Knights, Delnate, immediately replied. This defense was mainly the responsibility of the Royal Guards, and the highest commander of the Royal Guards was Delnate.
"Your Highness." As they spoke, a guard rushed over and said, "The Dwarf Emissary, Orpheus, requests an audience."
"Him again?" On the other side, Anthony was stunned. The two countries had drafted an agreement and officially stopped the war. However, the details of the relationship, such as how much money the Dwarves would have to pay and how much food they would have to pay, had not been decided yet. Because the rebel army had not been dealt with yet, Anthony had asked Orfg to stay in the main city and wait for the rebel army to be repelled before discussing this issue. In the end, he had just sent Orfg back, and now Orfg was here again. Anthony didn't know what this guy wanted.
However, perhaps it was something important. Anthony decided to listen to what was going on, so he asked someone to bring Orpheus here.
"Your Royal Highness of the Human Race." On the other side, Orfgar seemed to be very anxious. He quickly ran over and forgot his etiquette. For a Foreign Affairs Minister like him, this was a very embarrassing situation. It seemed like he was really anxious.
"What's wrong, Envoy Orfg? Didn't we just sign the armistice agreement? Is there a problem? " Anthony asked, "Could it be that our troops have not stopped their search in Molten Iron City?"
After saying that, Anthony looked at Li Huailin, who was next to him. He felt that Li Huailin was going to do something bad. Could it be that Li Huailin was going to carry out the order?
"No, the second army has already stopped. Not only that, but I've also ordered them to withdraw from Molten Iron City. Emissary Ofuge, don't you think so?" Li Huailin said innocently.
"This … is indeed so." Orfgar nodded. The second army had indeed withdrawn from Molten Iron City, so there was no problem with this.
"Since we've already complied with the armistice agreement, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" Anthony asked curiously.
"Your Royal Highness, the human army has indeed withdrawn. However, not long after they left, the Undead army came and did the same thing as the humans," Orfgar said gloomily. It was as if both sides had agreed on it. After one left, the other would immediately take over. It felt like they were just handing over a shift.
"Huh? The Undead? " Anthony was slightly stunned. He looked at the smiling Li Huailin and instantly understood. No wonder Li Huailin had agreed so easily. It turned out that he had been waiting for him. However, even though he knew, he wouldn't expose him. He continued to say, "Emissary Ofuge, I don't have any other choice. How can we humans manage the Undead? You should negotiate with the Undead. It's not a problem for them to attack you. Think about it, you've stopped fighting with the humans, but you haven't stopped fighting with the Undead. Since you're in a state of war, it's normal for them to attack you."
"But … But the humans and the Undead are allies. Since the humans have reached an agreement with us, the Undead should also stop fighting," Orfgar immediately said.
"Eh? Since when were we allies with the Undead? " Anthony pretended that he didn't know anything, then he said to Prime Minister Mach, "Prime Minister, did we sign an alliance treaty with the Undead?"
"No, I can't remember such a treaty. I don't remember any emissaries of the Undead coming here either. To be honest, I've been staying in the city for a long time. I haven't seen the Undead in the past ten years, so I don't know what the chief of the Undead looks like," Mach said in a very cooperative manner.
Anthony was right. Although the Undead and the human race moved together and attacked the same target, they had already formed an alliance. However, the two races had never expressed their alliance in name. They hadn't signed any alliance contracts, and they hadn't even sent messengers to each other. Thus, even if they insisted that they weren't allies, they didn't seem to have any relationship on the surface.
"This … this …" Orfgar naturally knew that Anthony was acting shamelessly, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, his side was the loser, so there was nothing he could say. In desperation, Orfgar burst into tears. "Your Highness Anthony … No matter what, the humans and the dwarves have been allies for 100 years. Although we are in the wrong this time, the two races have supported and helped each other in the past. Your Highness, do you want to see the dwarves disappear from the continent?"
Orfgar was so anxious that he cried. Although Anthony was a little angry at Orfgar's behavior, he decided to let it go after seeing the situation. Orfgar was speaking the truth. The dwarves and the humans were allies for 100 years, and the relationship between the two races was pretty good. Many years ago, the two races had fought together. As the saying went, if you don't look at the monks, look at the Buddha. As an Emperor who started his career as a soldier, Anthony understood the situation quite well.
Wanting to help Orfgar, Anthony signaled Orfgar with his eyes and pointed at Li Huailin to let Orfgar know who he wanted to persuade.
Orfgar immediately understood and said to Li Huailin, "Duke Aquitan, we dwarves have always respected you. We don't have a huge grudge against you, so please let us go this time."
"Yeah, Huailin," Anthony said. Anthony also took the opportunity to say, "Since they have admitted their mistakes and are willing to take responsibility, you can let them go this time."
"Shouldn't you say that to the undead? The ones who are messing with the dwarves are the undead," Li Huailin said.
"Aren't you on good terms with the Undead? Why don't you talk to them and ask them to stop fighting with the Dwarves? Once we've dealt with the rebels on our side, we'll work out a treaty to punish the Dwarves," Anthony said.
"Yeah, Duke Aquitan, we dwarves are willing to pay any price," Orfgar said immediately.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin paused for a moment and looked at his Godly Sword Unsealing Quest. The number of people on the quest was currently 963442. In other words, there were 30,000 more people before he could unseal the sword. According to this speed, he could unseal the sword by tonight. However, since Anthony had spoken, Li Huailin thought about it. There were still 40,000 rebels at the entrance. It was enough no matter how he looked at it, it was just a day late.
"Alright then." Li Huailin nodded. "I'll arrange for you to meet with the lords of the undead. You can try to talk to them, but I don't know if you can convince them."
"Alright, Duke of Aquitaine. Thank you so much," Orfgar said hurriedly.
Therefore, Li Huailin brought him to Molten Iron City. A few Undead Lords were originally leading their teams to rob, but they heard that Li Huailin was here, so they came back to see what was going on. They didn't expect the dwarves to want to stop fighting.
"They are willing to pay any price? Does that mean they surrender unconditionally?" Sulfur asked.
"Yes, our king has decided to surrender," Orfgar said with his head lowered.
"What do we do? They have already surrendered. Do we still fight?" Sulfur asked Maxim and Soudeis.
"Soudeis, His Highness isn't here. We can't make the decision," Maxim whispered into Soudeis's ear. Maxim whispered into Soudeis's ear. After all, Emperor Wotcha's existence had to be kept a secret, and Orfgar couldn't hear it.
"Uh …" Soudeis looked at Li Huailin who was standing beside Orfgar. Emperor Wotcha was present, but he couldn't ask for his opinion. After thinking for a while, Soudeis asked, "Ahem … Duke Aquitan, what's the situation with the humans?"
"Oh, we have temporarily stopped fighting with the dwarves. I think … the fight is almost over, and they have surrendered. Let's stop fighting here. Lord Soudeis, what do you think?" Li Huailin said.
"Hmm …" Soudeis looked at Li Huailin's expression. He didn't think that Li Huailin was lying, so he nodded. "Duke Aquitan is right. Let's stop fighting."
