"So that's how it is. Is this the Demons' trick?" On the way back to the army, Soudeis was explaining the current situation to the other lords and conveying Li Huailin's order. After listening to it, Dennis suddenly realized something and said, "Fortunately, His Highness is smart. Otherwise, we would have fallen into their trap."
Sudais also nodded in agreement. This plan was quite terrifying, mainly because the humans and the Undead didn't trust each other. As a result, the slightest provocation would immediately cause a huge rift to appear. Under normal circumstances, it was indeed possible for a fight to break out. However, the other side would never have thought that His Highness was originally from the Humans' side. As long as they ran to both sides, they would immediately know what was going on. One couldn't blame the Demons for not thinking of this. It was just too unbelievable.
"The Demons are really despicable," Fiona also said. "They actually used such a despicable strategy."
"We forced them into a corner," Soudeis said. Then, he suddenly looked at Matthew, who had been silent all this time. Soudeis suddenly remembered something, so he rode over and quietly asked, "Lord Matthew, you don't seem to have any doubts about this situation at all … Could it be that you have already thought of it?"
Soudeis remembered something. When the situation happened before, Matthew said that he felt that something was wrong. However, in the next few days, Matthew didn't seem to express any opinions at all. It was as if he had been watching the show. Now that the other side knew the truth and wasn't surprised at all, Soudeis boldly guessed.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Matthew didn't keep them in suspense and actually admitted it directly.
"You really know? When? "Soudeis asked in surprise.
"That day, I went back to investigate and found that the soldier who came back alive was acting suspiciously. Although he was my soldier, I remembered some of the previous situations and sent someone to follow him. Sure enough, I found that he was in contact with the Demons' spies. I can confirm that he was a spy sent by the Demons." Matthew said, "I thought about it. My rebellion was exposed, and it might have been done by a spy. Of course, this person has already been dealt with by me. Now, I am also investigating the spy in the army. Once I find one, I will immediately deal with it."
"You knew what was going on that night?" Soudeis said in surprise. "Then why didn't you tell me? Do you know how badly His Highness scolded me? "
"Lord Soudeis, please calm down and listen to my explanation." Seeing that Soudeis was a little angry, Mattheson immediately said, "I didn't tell you because I knew that this matter wouldn't affect us. As long as His Highness comes back, this matter will be exposed immediately. It's impossible for us to have a real fight with the Human Race."
"I know, but if you had told us in advance, wouldn't we have been able to deal with it immediately? Why do you have to wait for His Highness to come back to deal with it? Isn't this causing trouble for His Highness? Moreover, it would also lower His Highness' evaluation of us, "Soudeis said angrily.
"Lord Soudeis, have you ever thought about one thing?" Mattheson suddenly said.
"What is it?" Soudeis asked.
"After this war is over," Mattheson said. Matthesun said, "I think you can already guess the result of this war."
"Yes, under the leadership of His Highness, there is almost no doubt that we will win the war." Soudeis nodded. "Now that the main force of the Demons has basically been destroyed, it is too difficult for them to stop our army, not to mention the Human army."
"But have you ever thought about what will happen after the war is over?" Mattheson asked.
"After the war is over?" Soudeis hadn't thought about things that far in the future. Right now, he just listened to Li Huailin and followed whatever Li Huailin said. He hadn't thought about the situation after that.
"Right now, the Elves and the Beasts are still fighting each other in the north. Both sides have consumed a lot of resources, and it is impossible for them to rise in a short time. Let's not talk about the Dwarf Race. Their country has almost been destroyed. Then, the Demon Race has also fallen. After the war, there's only one country left on the continent that can compete with the Undead Race … "Mattheon said.
"It's the Human Race," Soudeis nodded and didn't deny Mattheson's statement.
"Then, the next question is, how should the Undead treat the Human Race?" Mattheson said. "Do you think we can coexist peacefully with the Human Race?"
"This..." Soudeis was slightly stunned. He couldn't answer this question.
"How is that possible?" Mattheson answered his own question, "We, the Undead, are a race that wants to unify the continent. How can we coexist peacefully with the Human Race? The Human Race also played a part in what happened a hundred years ago. Has Lord Soudeis forgotten about that?"
"How could I forget?" Soudeis immediately said, "But... but there is a problem..."
"That is His Highness's identity..." Mattheson immediately said, "After all, His Highness is a Human... this..."
"You are not allowed to do anything to His Highness. I, Soudeis, will be the first to punish you," Soudeis immediately said.
"How could I do anything to His Highness?" Mattheson said with a smile. "Do you think I would betray the wielder of the Godly Sword?"
"Hmm … That doesn't seem possible either." Sudais nodded.
"What I mean is, after all, His Highness is a Human. In this case, there is a problem. Is His Highness on our side or the Human Race's side..." Mattheson said.
"This..." Soudeis nodded. This was indeed a big problem.
"Of course, the best case scenario is for His Highness to directly stand on our side. Then, there would be no problem. However, as I said before, His Highness is a Human..." Mattheson said, "So, we have to find a way to pull His Highness to our side."
"Pull him to our side?" Soudeis asked. Then, he rolled his eyes and asked, "What should we do?"
"Of course, we have to let His Highness know that we are on His Highness's side, and that the Human Race is not on his side," Mattheson said.
"We and His Highness are naturally on the same side," Soudeis said.
"Of course. Therefore, our current focus is to let His Highness know that the Human Race is not on his side," Mattheson said. "Lord Soudeis, you have His Highness' trust. Therefore, I will not hide this matter from you. This is a very important matter for the entire Undead Race. Therefore, you must work with me."
"This..." Soudeis thought for a moment. It didn't feel good to do something behind Li Huailin's back. However, Mattheson's words also made sense. After thinking for a moment, Soudeis nodded and said, "I understand. What should we do?"
"I am still planning. However, for the time being, we just need to listen to His Highness," Mattheson said. "Right now, His Highness has a relatively high prestige among the Human Race. It will be very difficult for us to do anything. However, this kind of relationship is also very dangerous. In case there is a change, we can just fan the flames and win over His Highness. I think there is still a chance … Of course, even if there is no chance, I will still find a way to create one."
While Mattheson was speaking, his eyes emitted a very terrifying light.
"What you are doing won't be detrimental to His Highness, right?" Soudeis asked.
"Of course not. At most, I will cause a conflict between His Highness and the Human Race. We will always be loyal to His Highness. How could we harm His Highness? Of course, I also need Lord Soudeis's help, "Mattheson said.
"Alright. Since it is for the great cause of the Undead Race, and it is not a bad thing for His Highness, I will help you with this matter. However, I also have a condition." Sudais said, "You have to let me know of your plan. You definitely can't hide it from me. If I find out that you're hiding something from me, I'll immediately report it to His Highness."
"Of course, there is nothing that I can hide from you. Everything is for His Highness and for the great cause of the Undead Race," Mattheson said.
"Alright, then you can start making the plan. When the plan comes out, inform me as soon as possible," Soudeis nodded and said.
"No problem, Lord Soudeis," Mattheson said with a faint smile.
Back at Li Huailin's side, Li Huailin had already arrived at the camp of the Fourth Legion. Since the camp didn't have a transmission array, Li Huailin had to look for it for a long time before he found it. Of course, when the Great Marshal arrived, Colin immediately came out to greet him. After chatting for a while, Colin also understood what was going on recently.
"So it was a trick of the Demons …" Colin said. "I really thought that the Undead wanted to start a war with the Humans."
"The Undead will be fine for the time being." Li Huailin also knew that the Humans didn't really trust the Undead. However, as the Great Marshal, his words were more reliable.
"Alright, I understand. So what should we do now, Your Highness?" Your Highness, Grand Marshal. "Colin asked.
"You guys continue to attack Molidar City," Li Huailin said.
"Attack Molidar City? But Marshal, you just said that Gordon's team of a few thousand people should be lying in ambush nearby, right? "Colin said.
"Leave these people to me." Li Huailin said. His private army was still following behind, and he was worried about having nothing to do. Now, he had something to do.
