Li Huailin's army was small, so it was very troublesome for him to chase after the Demons. However, it was a different story for Mattheon's army. Mattheon had 10,000 Demons. Since they weren't facing off against each other right now, the Demons didn't dare to stay behind and fight the Undead. Hence, when Mattheon's army attacked, it dealt a considerable blow to the Demons' army.
The rest of the battle quickly came to an end as the Undead continued their pursuit and the Demons continued their retreat. The Demons' army was simply too scattered. After chasing for a few kilometers, the Undead could no longer find a complete army. They simply didn't know where to go. After dealing with the scattered Demons, the Undead returned victorious.
In this miraculous battle, Li Huailin led 1,000 Undead troops and defeated 70,000 Demons. The Demons suffered a crushing defeat, and roughly 30,000 of them died on the spot. Most of them died to the Undead's halos, while the rest died in the chaos. Another 4,000 Demons failed to flee in time and were captured by the Undead. The remaining Demons were also scattered. No one knew where they had run off to.
Meanwhile, on Li Huailin's side, the 1,000 Undead Cavalrymen following Li Huailin had not suffered a single casualty. Although the Undead Cavalrymen were stabbed by the Demons' desperate resistance, the Undead Cavalrymen were enveloped in halos. The Undead recovered 5% of their HP every second. As long as they ran for a while, the Undead Cavalrymen would return to full HP and resurrect on the spot.
On the other hand, Mattheson's side was defending the city. At the beginning of the siege, less than 100 people were killed. After that, 60 people were killed in the encirclement. The wounded soldiers were immediately healed by Li Huailin. The casualty ratio between the two sides was 1: 200. This was simply unsightly. It was impossible to tell that this was a battle. People would think that this was a slaughterhouse slaughtering pigs.
After the battle ended, the armies of both sides officially met under Berokli City. When Mattheon saw Li Huailin, he immediately dismounted and walked up to Li Huailin. He then said, "Thank you for your rescue, Your Highness. Your Highness is mighty."
"In the end, I still have to deal with this matter personally," Li Huailin said leisurely. "What use do I have for you?"
"I'm very sorry …" Mattheon immediately knelt and apologized.
"But at least you have a good eye for not surrendering," Li Huailin said. "How many of their troops escaped?"
"About half," Soudeis replied after giving the matter some thought.
"Yes, Your Highness. Based on the number of corpses on the ground, about half of the Demons have escaped," Mattheon immediately replied.
"In other words, there are still 35,000 soldiers left …" Li Huailin nodded. "The Demons still have around 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers in their country. However, they are all new recruits. They have less than two months of training, so their combat power is limited … With this, the possibility of the Demons starting another war …"
"The Demons shouldn't be that stupid, right? I'm guessing they want to make peace with us," Dennis said.
"Your Highness, if the Demons send an emissary to negotiate with us, should we agree?" Soudeis asked.
"Of course not," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand. "Give us money to buy peace. If you don't give us money, we will fight back."
"Oh …" The lords were a little excited. In recent years, the territory of the undead had been shrinking. They didn't expect that Emperor Wotcha had just taken over a piece of land from the Dwarves. Now, he was going to attack the Demons. They could see the signs of the undead's rise.
"Will Sulphur's army return in three days?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, they will return in three days. However, it will take them another day to reach the frontline," Soudeis said.
"Then all the undead troops will gather in Berokli City. This city is already mine, right, Mattheon?" Li Huailin said.
"Of course, Your Highness. As you wish," Mattheon said immediately.
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded and continued, "Since you have a problem with Mattheon, Soudeis will lead the army here as my representative. Do you have any objections?"
"No, Your Highness," Dennis and Fiona said immediately.
"Rest assured, Your Highness," Soudeis said immediately.
"Then, when all the troops are gathered, if the Demons still don't know what's good for them, we will take the initiative to attack them. I will ask the humans to send troops to cooperate with us. Of course, before I give the order, don't take the initiative to attack. Wait for my order, "Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness," the four answered in unison.
"By the way, what time is it now?" After saying that, Li Huailin looked at the system time on his side. It showed that it was 12: 52 noon. "F * ck, this is bad. It's over."
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Soudeis asked immediately.
"Didn't I say I have something to do at noon? By the way, I have something to do now. I'll leave Soudeis's matters to you for the time being. I'll take my leave first, "Li Huailin said and began to roll a return scroll.
"Please be careful, Your Highness," the others said immediately.
Using a return scroll, Li Huailin left the frontlines of the war and returned to Molten Iron City of the dwarves. Since it was a city of darkness, Li Huailin couldn't record a return point. Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Huailin didn't know if the meeting had started. He didn't have time to chat with Maccon of the second army corps. He went straight to the light side's teleportation point and teleported to Braasov, the capital of the neutral country. As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation point, Li Huailin headed straight for the cathedral.
The situation in the cathedral was still the same as before. It was quiet and holy, and there was no way to tell if a meeting was going on inside. Li Huailin hurried over, but he was stopped by a knight at the door.
"Your Highness, you are not a member of the Church of Light. Moreover, an important meeting is going on inside, so you cannot enter." The guard's attitude toward Li Huailin was very good. After all, Li Huailin's favorability was very high in the church. However, it was true that Li Huailin hadn't officially joined the Church of Light yet, so the guard wouldn't let Li Huailin in. The previous few times, he was brought in by Pope Carlo or by Bishop Drgusby. Now that neither of them were here, the guard didn't dare let him in.
"Damn, then hurry up and tell Pope Carlo that I'm here. He promised to bring me to the meeting," Li Huailin said.
"This …" The guard hesitated for a moment. "But Pope Carlo is presiding over a meeting right now. We can't just go in."
"What should we do, then?" Li Huailin asked.
"Once the meeting is over and Pope Carlo comes out, we can report to him. Why don't you wait a little longer, Your Highness?" the guard asked.
"Won't it be too late if the meeting is over?" Li Huailin facepalmed. "No, I must go in."
"That really won't do," the guard said. The guard knight said, "Although you are a very important figure to our church, I really can't let you in now."
"Can I barge in, then?" Li Huailin asked.
"Sir, you want to barge in?" The guard was slightly stunned. Then, a system notification appeared on Li Huailin's screen.
System Notice: Do you wish to enter this area by force? Note: Illegal entry may result in very serious consequences. Please choose carefully.
"Huh?" Li Huailin hesitated for a moment. This system notification didn't seem right. Under normal circumstances, this system notification would tell Li Huailin that his Favorability was about to increase. However, Li Huailin was a little cautious. He was worried that if he chose to do so, the members of the Church of Light would turn hostile. If that were the case, it would be very troublesome. After all, he didn't know how the Church of Light would turn hostile. However, he didn't dare to take the risk.
After giving it some thought, Li Huailin asked, "What kind of people can enter the meeting room at this time?"
"Oh, you have to be at least at the level of a main character to be able to directly enter the Parliament." The guard knight replied.
"Like Bishop Degusby?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." The guard nodded. "However, Bishop Degusby is currently inside."
"Is there a bishop who isn't inside?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes. Bishop Toravi of the Church of Light branch in the Dwarven Kingdom didn't come back this time. I think he's still in the bishop's area of Molten Iron City … Duke, where are you going?" Before the guard finished speaking, Li Huailin left in a hurry.
About ten minutes later, Li Huailin dragged a thin old man who had been beaten into a pig's head and stood in front of the guard again. "See if it's this guy."
"Bishop Toravi, what happened to you?" The guard looked at Bishop Toravi, whose face was covered in blood, in surprise. What was going on?
"Oh … This Duke is a friend of our church. This time, he has something very important to explain in the meeting, so I came to bring him in," Bishop Toravi said to the guard with an ugly smile. Bishop Toravi said to the knight with an ugly smile. It seemed that he was very grateful to Li Huailin.
"Can I go in now?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, with the bishop leading you, of course … Eh? Duke, why did you leave first again … Lord Toravi … "
Li Huailin threw Toravi, who had been beaten so badly that he could not stand up. Toravi was already seriously injured. Now that he was thrown, he rolled down the stairs of the cathedral's entrance. Several guards beside him immediately went to help him. Taking the opportunity, Li Huailin rushed into the cathedral and kicked the door.
"Hello everyone, I'm late."
With a loud bang, the door of the meeting room flew open. A group of NPCs dressed like priests looked at Li Huailin who appeared at the door in confusion. Everyone froze.
