It was the morning meeting the next day. In the main hall of the human palace, all the ministers were summoned again. Today, they were still discussing the Demons. Surprisingly, Li Huailin, the Duke of Aquitaine, attended the meeting. However, it was good news for the ministers who were waiting at the door last night, because they already knew the outcome of the matter.
Soon, Troan, the Demons' Chief of Foreign Affairs, was invited to the main hall again. Troan bowed to Anthony gracefully, then said, "Your Royal Highness, it seems that we have a result today. I wonder what the human race's reply is, so I can report back immediately."
"Chief Troan." Anthony did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "According to the intelligence, the undead attacked your city of Moriega yesterday afternoon. I heard that the remaining 30,000 troops of your first legion have been wiped out."
"This …" Troan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He had just learned the news this morning, and he almost vomited blood when he heard it. He did not expect the humans to know about it too. As expected, they had to settle this matter immediately. After thinking for a moment, Troan said, "Yes, Your Royal Highness, it's true. I just received the news too."
"So, the Demons have no way to stop the undead's advance?" Anthony asked.
"We still have 50,000 troops of the third legion and 20,000 troops of the second legion. They are now ready to resist the undead's attack," Troan said immediately. That was all the Demons had. The Demons originally had around 260,000 troops in three legions, but Li Huailin had wiped out the second legion, and they had yet to recover. The first legion (which was actually also wiped out by Li Huailin) had also just been wiped out. Now, they only had the third legion, which was slightly capable of fighting, and the remnants of the second legion, which was made up of new soldiers. It was already difficult enough to defend one legion, let alone the humans and the undead at the same time.
"Oh, I see. You still have 70,000 soldiers." Anthony nodded. "But can they really stop the Undead's attack? I remember that the soldiers of your Second Legion have only been training for less than a month. The Third Legion is also well-known for their low combat strength. Now that the First Legion, which had the highest combat strength of 70,000 people, has been completely wiped out, do you have the confidence to stop the attack of the Undead Race with this miscellaneous army? "
"Of … of course." Troian said this without much confidence. "Our main city is extremely sturdy. It's impossible for it to fall."
"Are we going to give up all the territories outside the main city?" Anthony asked again.
"Your Highness." Troan immediately realized that he shouldn't talk about this topic, so he said firmly, "Your Highness, we are now discussing the problem between the humans and the Demons. You should know the seriousness of this matter. The rise of the undead is inevitable, and it will be a devastating crisis for the other races on the continent. As you said before, we may not be able to stop the undead's attack, but if the humans can help us, the Demons, to repel the undead, not only will they be able to curb the undead's momentum, but they will also win the friendship of the Demons."
"The humans will help the Demons?" The ministers on the side immediately became lively. It was the first time they heard such a statement. The humans would actually help the Demons? It was already hard enough to accept the alliance between the humans and the undead, and now they were even willing to ally with the Demons? Were they f * cking kidding them?
"Your Highness, you can't!" How many human compatriots have died in the hands of demons? How could people accept this? Not to mention civilians, almost all the sergeants in our army have been killed by demons. Once this order is passed, there might be a mutiny immediately. This is something that will shake the foundation of the country. "Zhang Tie's face was filled with disbelief." What's more, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on.
"That's right, Your Highness, you can't." The ministers on the side immediately said. At this time, they didn't care about anyone else's opinion. Prime Minister Mach didn't say anything, but all the ministers had already jumped out.
"Alright, everyone, be quiet." Anthony had already made a decision. He gestured to the ministers on the side and said, "Chief Troian, you heard it. How can the humans help the Demons? Let alone me, no one in the human race will agree to this unless I give up the throne."
"Your Highness." Troian immediately said, "This is for the sake of all living beings on the continent. As long as we explain this to the people, we will naturally get their support. For the continent …"
Before Troian finished speaking, Li Huailin suddenly interrupted, "Oh? This is a new theory. You said that the peace talks between the Demons and the humans are for the sake of all living beings on the continent? "
"This … This is the Duke of Aquitaine, right?" Although Troian had never seen Li Huailin before, he knew that the Demons had suffered too many losses under Li Huailin's hands. Troian felt a little guilty when he saw Li Huailin. Even so, Troian immediately said, "Of course, we, the Demons, are naturally thinking for the sake of all living beings on the continent …"
"In that case …" Li Huailin interrupted Troian again and said forcefully, "Then I'll give you a better suggestion."
"A better suggestion?" Troian asked.
"If the Demons immediately surrender to the humans, everything will be fine, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile.
"What?" Troian was stunned. "This …"
"Think about it." Li Huailin said, "The current situation is that the humans are attacking you with the Undead, but as long as you surrender to the humans, the Demons will become a vassal state of the humans, and the war will naturally end. Erm, the Undead will not be able to continue fighting because if they attack you, they will be attacking a vassal state of the humans. If that really happens, it won't be a problem for us to help the Demons fight the Undead, and the people will be able to accept it. After all, we're helping our vassal state.
"This … This won't do," Troian said subconsciously. Troan said subconsciously. How could the Demon Race become a vassal state of the Human Race? How could Troan accept this?
"Oh? This is a little strange. Aren't the Demons for the sake of the living beings on the continent? Why can't you make such a small sacrifice? "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right. Didn't your module say that it's for the sake of the living beings on the continent? So what if you surrender? Become our sweet potato, and we'll protect you." The ministers on the side laughed too. The Duke of Aquitaine's words were too good and satisfying.
"That's right." Anthony also said, "I think the Duke of Aquitaine's idea is not bad. This way, everything will be solved, right? The Demons won't have to fight anymore, and we'll be able to stop the Undead from expanding. Isn't it a win-win situation? "
"You … You …" Troan was so angry that he was speechless. How could the Demons become a vassal state of the humans? It was impossible for their country to be destroyed. After thinking about it, Troan knew that it was impossible to come to an agreement, so he said, "I see that the Human Emperor doesn't want to stop the war with us. Fine, we Demons aren't meat on the chopping board. Since you don't care about the big picture, let's fight. I'll take my leave first!"
"Hehe." Li Huailin stood up and smiled. "Since the negotiation has failed, do you still want to go back?"
"Huh?" Anran instantly realized what Li Huailin meant. He said while sweating, "You … You want to kill me? That won't do … I'm an emissary … "
"Is that so?" Li Huailin said. He turned to look at Prime Minister Mach and asked, "Old Prime Minister, have we established any diplomatic relations with the Demons?"
"I've never heard of any diplomatic relations between us and the Demons," Mach immediately said.
"So you're saying that this guy is an enemy spy who infiltrated our country illegally?" Li Huailin pointed at Troan and said.
"Eh? Spy? This … "Troan was taken aback.
"Arrest him," Anthony said with a wave of his hand.
"Wait, let's talk this out." Troan panicked and said immediately, "Although we didn't come to an agreement on this matter …"
"What's there to talk about? Didn't you just say how powerful you are? You even asked us to fight. Didn't the negotiation fail? What's the use of you then?" Li Huailin said. "Let's just kill him. Hang him on the door to show our determination to fight against the Demons."
"Hmm." Anthony nodded. "What does everyone think?"
"Good, we must kill him!" "Yes, kill him!" The ministers on the other side naturally agreed frantically. There was nothing to talk about with the Devil Race in the first place. It would be better to kill them.
"Then drag him out and execute him on the spot. Mach, make an announcement. We don't need to negotiate with the Demons. Unless the Demons surrender, we will fight until the end until we reach their main city," Anthony said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes," Prime Minister Mach nodded and said.
"Your Highness is wise!" "Long live Your Highness!" The ministers next to him immediately shouted. In an instant, Anthony's reputation soared.
"Oh, it's almost time. I have to go to the arena." Li Huailin suddenly looked at the system time. It was already nine in the morning. If he didn't go to the arena now, he would be late. So, he said, "You guys continue with the meeting. I'll be leaving first."
