While Li Huailin wasn't around, the situation of the major factions in the game continued to change. The Nephilim race was the first to meet with trouble. This was because the emissary from the Nephilim race to the Humans had brought back bad news. Not only did the Humans refuse to cooperate with the Nephilim race, but they also beheaded the Empire's Chief of Foreign Affairs, Troan. His head was hung on the plaza as a warning to the public. However, the Nephilim race's subordinates were released. After all, they had to relay a message to Bezerra.
"Preposterous!" Bezera was so angry that he smashed the armrest of his throne. The Humans didn't give him any face at all. It was fine if they didn't agree to the negotiation, but they even killed his Chief of Foreign Affairs. That was too much. Under normal circumstances, the Demons would have started an all-out war. However, the current situation didn't allow it.
"Your Highness, the Humans are too despicable. We must demand an explanation from Chief Troan," a minister said.
"Demand an explanation? How?" Bezera was in a bad mood. He immediately yelled at the minister. He seemed to have lost his composure.
"This …" The minister was too angry. He only realized that they were the ones being slapped after he spoke.
"How's the war going?" Bezera asked.
"The 70,000 human army stopped for a while yesterday, but they resumed their advance in the morning. Now, they are advancing towards Molidar City. Currently, there are only 500 standing soldiers in Molidar City, so there is no way for them to stop the human army," a Nephilim civil official answered. He was the Prime Minister of the Nephilim, Sauron.
"What about Marshal Gordon?" Bezera asked.
"The First Legion was defeated by the Undead at Molidar City. Only 1200 of them managed to escape. The Undead immediately started a massacre in the city. I don't think there are any survivors left," Sauron said. "After that, 30,000 Undead reinforcements arrived at Molidar City. They joined up with their previous troops. There are about 40,000 of them now. They set off this morning and are heading towards Gandalir City. Marshal Gordon is currently staying in Gandalir City with the remnants of his troops. Including the local garrison, there are less than 2000 people. It's hard to imagine that they can stop the Undead army. "
"What should we do? Are we, the Demons, going to go extinct?" one of the ministers shouted.
"We still have 60,000 troops." "But Your Highness, there is no way to stop our troops from advancing on both sides. The target of this army is definitely our main city. The current situation … Should we take the initiative to block or defeat the attack from one side, or should we wait here and prepare to defend?" Zoro looked calmer on the other side and said calmly, "But Your Highness, there is no way for our troops to advance on both sides.
"Take the initiative to attack and defeat an entire squad?" Bezera asked. "Is that even possible?"
"The Humans are sending out the Fourth Legion. The Fourth Legion is similar to our current army. They have a large number of new soldiers who have only trained for less than two months. Their combat power is relatively low. Their commander is Grimm, not the troublesome Duke of Aquitaine. I think that if it's just this squad, we should have no problem defending the city," Sauron said. "But the problem is …"
"As for the Undead …" Bayzera continued, "Our First Legion of 70,000 soldiers has been utterly defeated by the Undead. The mysterious man in black … and that damned Godly Sword. Do any of you have a plan? Tell us now."
"This …" All the ministers were slightly hesitant. With the current situation, their 70,000 main force had been defeated. What else could they do to stop the Undead's advance?
"You don't have a f * cking solution. Do you really want me to surrender to the humans and become their vassal?" Bezera said angrily.
"Your Highness." Just as he was getting angry, Prime Minister Sauron suddenly said, "Your Highness, I thought of something."
"Please speak, Prime Minister," Bezera immediately said.
"I'm thinking, do the humans and the Undead have to work together?" Sauron said. "Although the humans and the Undead are attacking us together, they aren't working together. Instead, they are attacking us from two different directions. It's obvious that they are competing with each other. In my opinion, both sides have a certain degree of distrust towards each other."
"Of course I know that," Bezera said. "I don't know how the Human Race and the Undead came together. We didn't expect this to happen either. But no matter how I look at it, the Human Race doesn't trust the Undead, just like how the Undead don't trust the Human Race. But now, their target is clearly us. There's no way to make them split up now."
"We can give it a try," Sauron immediately said.
"Oh, what should we do, Prime Minister?" Seeing that Sauron seemed to have a solution, Bezera immediately asked.
"Your Highness, do you remember how you found out that Matthew was going to betray us?" Sauron asked.
Bezera was slightly surprised. He was able to find out about Matthew's plan because he had an undercover agent. Although Matthew had betrayed the Undead and joined the Demons, Bezera didn't completely trust Matthew. Although things had been peaceful for the past few years, Bezera had secretly planted a few people around Matthew just in case. Of course, these people were all Undead, so Matthew didn't find out about them.
After Matthew and Li Huailin met, Bezera's undercover agent sent a letter to Bezera. Although they didn't know what the man in black's plan was, Matthew seemed to be planning something, so Bezera was alerted. After that, the undercover agent sent him information about Matthew's contact with several Undead Lords. That was why Bezera ordered his troops to retreat immediately. He wanted to see what was going on with Matthew and whether he was really going to betray them. He didn't expect things to develop to this extent.
"You said to use a spy … but how?" Bezera asked.
"Your Highness, this is a bit of a secret. Please listen to me," Sauron said carefully.
"Okay, follow me," Bezera nodded and quickly went to talk with Sauron and Bezera.
At the same time, the army of the undead was marching towards the next city of the Demon Race. While marching, the four lords were discussing something. It was about the meeting between the Human Race and the Demon Race's emissary this morning.
"The humans met the Demons' emissary twice, then killed the Demons' emissary. Now, they are marching towards the Demons' hinterland. It seems like the humans don't want to negotiate with the Demons," Dennis said.
"No, no, no, it's a little strange," Matthew said. "I'm not concerned about the fact that the humans killed the Demons' emissary, but why did they meet a day later …"
"Yeah, I'm a little concerned too," Soudeis said. "It's said that on the day the Demons' emissary arrived, the Human Emperor Anthony didn't react in court. Instead, he waited until the next day before deciding to kill the Demons' emissary. The human army also stopped marching for a day. This is a bit strange. Based on the relationship between the humans and the Demons, it's possible that the Human Emperor didn't even want to meet the Demons' emissary. Why did he have to consider for a day? What conditions did the Demons propose?"
"I think … it's because of the Godly Sword," Matthew suddenly said.
"The Godly Sword?" The other three Lords were stunned.
"Yes, Her Highness used the Godly Sword in the previous battle. However, the enemy's commander, Gordon, is still alive, so the news must have been brought back. Therefore, the Emperor of the Demons, Baizera, must know about this. According to Baizera's knowledge, it's possible that he could figure out what is going on. Therefore, the Demons must have known that Her Highness is the wielder of the Godly Sword, so they went to negotiate with the humans." Matthew thought about it casually and almost guessed everything correctly.
"In other words, because they know that Her Highness has inherited the Godly Sword, they want to ally with the humans to organize all the races on the continent to fight against the Undead, just like they did a hundred years ago?" Fiona said. "Damn it! But the humans seem to have rejected them. Why? "
"Because …" Matthew was about to say that it was because Her Highness was the Duke of Aquitaine, but he thought that it wasn't right. He couldn't say it yet, so he changed his mind and said, "Because the Human Emperor has no foresight."
"But now that the humans know about the Godly Sword, does it mean that the humans may be preparing to suppress us?" Dennis suddenly asked.
"That's possible." Soudeis nodded. "Everyone, be careful. We can't hinder Her Highness's plan."
"My lord," an Undead soldier ran over and said, "There's a situation."
"What is it?" Soudeis asked immediately.
"The Demons of Gandalir have started to move. They left the city and headed north. Their purpose is unknown," the soldier reported.
"Oh? Gordon is moving? "Dennis was a little surprised." North? Why is he going north? If he's retreating, he should be retreating to the east. "
"No matter what, we must catch this Gordon." Soudeis thought for a moment and said, "Since he's not in Gandalir, there's no need for us to go there. After all, it's just a small city. There's no need to fight. Let's go north."
"Yes." Fiona also nodded her head.
"We must catch him this time!" Dennis said.
"Lord Matthew, what's wrong?" Soudeis suddenly realized that Matthew seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak.
Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Hmm … nothing … let's go after him first."
