In the afternoon, Li Huailin led the Demons' army to Morija City. What he didn't know was that the Humans' palace had called for an emergency meeting. This was because the Demons had sent an envoy for the first time ever, and the envoy was here to negotiate with the humans. This was something that even the Humans didn't expect.
"Heh …" Anthony sneered when he heard about this. The Demons actually gave in. Of course, he also received the order for the 4th Legion to attack. Of course, he also knew that Li Huailin went to the Henasand Camp in the morning and asked Colin to attack. Colin also reported his specific plan to Anthony. Although Anthony didn't want to and couldn't manage the war, he was in charge of the negotiation.
Of course, in the eyes of all the Humans, the Demons wanted to negotiate with the humans because they couldn't hold on any longer. Anthony also thought that his side could win in the end, but he didn't expect the Demons to give in so quickly. Could it be because of what Li Huailin did to the Dwarves made the Demons realize that surrendering earlier would reduce the number of casualties?
Like all the Humans, Anthony hated the Demons. When he received the news that the Demons had sent an envoy, his first reaction was to ignore them and let the Demons hurt them. But after thinking about it, Anthony decided to see what the Demons had to say first. Maybe he could slap them in the face on the spot.
So the ministers who had just finished their morning meeting were once again summoned to the palace hall. But these ministers didn't have any complaints. Everyone wanted to see the Demons wagging their tails and begging to surrender.
"Come, bring him in." Anthony waved his hand, and a man who looked like a civil servant of the Demons was immediately brought into the hall.
"Minister Troan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Demons Famorad Empire, greets Your Royal Highness." Unexpectedly, this demon minister named Troan seemed to be quite confident. It didn't seem like something a person from a defeated country should have.
"Oh, that's strange. It's been a long time since the Demons sent anyone to our Human Empire. They haven't come even once since the new Empire was established. I wonder why Foreign Minister Troan came all the way to our Human Empire," Anthony said as he tried to hold back his laughter. "That's strange.
"I'm here to deliver a letter personally written by our Emperor Beyzera to you, Your Highness the Human Emperor." Troan said as he took out a letter. Just as he was about to hand it over, a soldier walked over and opened the letter to check if there were any poisonous powder or magic gears in it. After confirming that there were no problems, he handed it over to Anthony.
Anthony was slightly puzzled. Why would Bezerra write a letter to him for no reason? But after reading it for a while, Anthony's expression became slightly more serious.
"Your Royal Highness, what happened?" Mach immediately asked when he saw Anthony's expression change.
"Take a look." Anthony immediately passed the letter to Mach. Mach was one of his people, so it didn't matter if he read it.
Mach took the letter and read it. But soon, Mach's expression also changed. "The Undead actually … Your Royal Highness, this isn't good."
"Yeah." Anthony nodded. The letter was about the person who seemed to be the leader of the Undead Race that Gordon encountered. The person was holding a black sword, and this incident reminded Beyzera of the incident that happened a long time ago, which was the incident with the Undead Emperor Hosp.
This matter had actually happened a long time ago, even longer than the founding of the human race. There were even very few historical records of it. Only a few high-ranking officials knew about this matter. Baizera knew about it, and Anthony was originally a member of the Murat family. He had also heard about this matter from his father. Mach was originally a prime minister, so he also knew about this matter.
"Let's pause the meeting. Mach, Wilham, both of you come in first," Anthony said after thinking for a while. It was better to discuss this matter with those who knew about it first. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to announce it now.
The two nodded and followed Anthony to the resting room at the back of the hall. Along the way, Mach showed Wilham the letter from the Demons. Of course, Wilham also knew about this matter, and his expression immediately changed.
"Your Royal Highness." When they entered the room, Wilham was the first to speak. "It seems that the person who appeared on the battlefield between the Demons and the Undead is the new leader of the Undead. We still don't know anything about this person."
"No wonder the Undead have been acting so strangely recently. They seemed to have ended the civil war hastily, and then started attacking the Dwarves. It turns out that a new leader has unified the Undead," Mach chimed in.
"And this person is very likely to have the legendary Godly Sword," Wilham added. "The situation is very bad."
"I heard about the Undead from my father," Anthony said. "I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a huge incident that shook the entire continent. The leader of the Undead, Hosp, launched a full-scale invasion of the continent. He fought against more than a dozen other races on the continent with the power of one race, and they were defeated one after another. They were almost wiped out. After that, the Gods of the Divine Realm led by the God of Light broke the shackles of space and intervened to solve the crisis of extinction of the entire race on the continent. Of course, I heard it as a story at first, but I didn't expect such a thing to actually happen."
"I've heard this story too, Your Royal Highness," Anthony said. "There are very few historical records about it now. We can only say that the Undead were abnormally powerful at that time, and the reason for their power was that black Godly Sword."
"Hmm." Anthony nodded. "If what Bayzera said is true, then the black greatsword in the hands of the man in black who appeared in the battle yesterday is most likely that Godly Sword."
"Your Royal Highness, if that's the case, we might have to consider negotiating with the Demons," Mach said solemnly. Mach said seriously. "Although this war will greatly weaken the Demon Race, the rise of the Undead will also be very disadvantageous to the Human Race. Especially when the other party already has the Divine Sword. If the Undead launch another continental war, there won't be many races that can resist them now. "
The current situation was that the Elves and the Orcs were still fighting against each other, and both sides were crippled. Needless to say, the Dwarves had been beaten like dogs. The only races left were the extremely powerful humans and the Demons, who were about to be crippled. If the Demons were to fall after this war, the Undead would launch an attack, and only the humans would be left to fight against them. Anthony frowned when he heard this.
"We can't ignore this." Anthony thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this first. Wilham, go and verify whether what Bayzera said in the letter is true. Verify everything about yesterday's battle immediately."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Wilham knew that this was a big deal, so he nodded immediately.
"Mach, prepare the materials first. There aren't many ministers who know about this. If we really do negotiate with the Demons, you'll be in charge of the explanation," Anthony said. In fact, he wanted Mach to prepare some information about the war that happened a hundred years ago. It would be easier to explain when the time came. After all, the ministers didn't want to negotiate with the Demons now.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness," Mach immediately replied.
"Also, that Troan, let him stay in the main city for now. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly," Anthony said.
"Yes."
"We have to discuss this matter with Huailin." Anthony thought of this matter again. He was afraid that Li Huailin didn't know about it yet, so he wanted to hear Li Huailin's opinion. Of course, how could Li Huailin not know about it? The mysterious person they were discussing was Li Huailin.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. We have to tell the Duke of Aquitaine about this, but I heard that he disappeared after giving the order to attack this morning. We don't know where he is now …" Mach said.
"Send someone to his territory to look for his wife. They are all adventurers. They have a way to contact Huailin," Anthony said.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness," Mach said.
As expected, after a while, the messenger from the palace arrived at the Duke's mansion in Li Huailin's fief. Su Ruoyan happened to be there too. When she heard that the emperor was looking for Li Huailin for an urgent matter, Su Ruoyan contacted Li Huailin remotely.
"Anthony is looking for me?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Urgent matter? What is it? "
"I don't know. This guy didn't say. Anyway, he wants you to go back as soon as possible," Su Ruoyan said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin thought for a while. He didn't think it was anything important. Could it be the problem of attacking the Demons? Didn't he say that he would handle it? Anthony probably wouldn't do anything about it. After thinking for a while, Li Huailin replied, "Ask him to wait. I'm really busy here. I just attacked the Demons."
"Oh, got it." Su Ruoyan didn't care about this. She was still counting money, so she replied to the messenger.
Li Huailin wasn't kidding. When he received the long-range message, Li Huailin's vanguard had just arrived at the city of Morriga. 1,000 cavalrymen were watching the 30,000 people on the city gate.
"People inside, listen up. You are surrounded. Open the gate and surrender. I will spare your lives. If you don't give me face, I will attack the city," Li Huailin shouted at the troops on the upper floor. The Demons were instantly frightened.
