"Meet with the Undead?" Anthony thought for a while, but he didn't understand what Marina meant. "Queen, why do we have to meet with the Undead?"
"Your Highness, it's a little strange. Although we haven't signed any treaty with the Undead, we're already allies. Under such circumstances, we haven't even met the leader of the Undead. Isn't that a little unreasonable?" Marina said.
"This … seems to be the case." Anthony nodded. It was indeed a little unreasonable.
"More importantly, something unpleasant happened between us," Marina continued. Ma Linna continued, "A few days ago, the tricks of the demons almost caused us to go to war with the Undead. Although it's estimated that they've been exposed, it's still inexcusable that we haven't explained anything to them."
"Hmm …" Anthony nodded again. Although the two sides were no longer at odds, it didn't make sense that they hadn't explained anything.
"Also, we've captured the Demons' marshal. It's a good opportunity for the Undead to see the strength of our army, isn't it?" Marina added.
"That's true." Speaking of this, Anthony was really tempted. Now, the Human Race and the Undead were attacking the Demon Race from both the north and the south. There was still a little bit of competition between them. Now that the Human Race had achieved some results and captured the other side's marshal, wasn't this a good time to show off?
"So, should we meet with the leader of the Undead now? Of course, we can use the previous conflict between the two sides as an excuse. Of course, the main purpose is to test the other side and see what they want, "Marina said. Marina chimed in, "Gordon was right about a few days ago. After the war ends, we and the Undead are the only two powerful countries on the continent. Therefore, we have to make preparations in advance. This time, we'll test the Undead and see what their attitude is."
"The queen has a point." Anthony nodded. "Delnate, what do you think?"
"I also think that Her Highness has made the right decision." Delnate naturally wouldn't say no. After all, Anthony had said that it was reasonable, which meant that he had agreed to it. They couldn't possibly jump out and oppose the king at this time, right?
"Alright, I'll leave it to you to arrange it. Tell the Undead that we want to meet the leader of the Undead and see what their attitude is, "Anthony said.
"Yes, I understand." Delnate nodded immediately.
Communication between the Human Race and the Undead was now relatively convenient because the Dwarven Race's main city had an Undead garrison. They could go there and bring the news back.
While the humans sent people to deliver the message, the captive ceremony in the Humans' main city was also going on as scheduled. Dramo and Reggie represented Li Huailin. They brought Gordon from the street to the square in front of the palace gate and handed the important captive to King Anthony. Anthony immediately made a stirring speech, expressing his confidence in the Demons. Of course, he also praised the warriors of the empire who were fighting on the front line. However, he said that the war wasn't over yet and that the rewards would be given out after the war was over.
Due to the issue of the legitimacy of the throne, although the rebels were defeated, Anthony's support rate had dropped a lot. But now, under the leadership of the emperor, the human troops had actually defeated the Demons who had been their mortal enemies for ten thousand years. Even the Marshal had been captured. Although the throne was still a little questionable, Anthony was indeed a good emperor. Hence, the people's morale quickly rose. Overall, although the ceremony was just a performance, the effect was indeed very good.
Along the way, the captive Gordon was relatively cooperative. As the humans really hated the Demons, not only did the civilians throw things at them during the parade, some even wanted to strangle the evil Marshal of the Demons to death. Fortunately, the guards stopped them. Otherwise, Gordon would have been beaten to death by the angry civilians. But even so, Gordon still appeared very calm. He didn't show any signs of dying along the way. During the ceremony, those who should kneel and those who should bow lowered their heads. However, his eyes were always fixed on Anthony, as if he was repeating his previous words.
Anthony still ignored this guy. As soon as the ceremony ended, he threw him into prison. At this time, a more suspicious emperor would have some doubts in his heart, but Anthony obviously didn't. He didn't even summon Li Huailin to confront Gordon. He also didn't think about the meeting with the Undead. He just thought that it was a meeting to show off the results of the war in front of the Undead.
The human emissary was dispatched very quickly. After the request to meet with the Undead was made, the human emissary immediately came to Molten Iron City with the document and met with the Undead.
Currently, in Molten Iron City, because Soudeis and Li Huailin had gone to the front line, the highest commander of the Undead was Soudeis's deputy, Anker. Upon hearing that a human emissary had arrived, Antiankh immediately summoned him. However, after hearing about the situation, Antiankh felt a little awkward.
He was the one who discovered Li Huailin with Soudeis, which meant that he knew Li Huailin's identity. Now that the human emissary was going to meet with the leader of the Undead, it was natural that the human emissary would meet with Li Huailin. How could they do that? Li Huailin's identity would be exposed in an instant. Thinking of this, Anker said, "I'm sorry, our Lord isn't here right now. I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being. But I will report this matter to the Lord immediately. You should stay in the city for a while. Once the Lord has made a decision, I will inform you immediately."
"Alright." The human emissary nodded to express his acceptance. "I hope that General can make the decision as soon as possible. His Highness is still waiting for my response."
"Alright, no problem," Anker agreed.
After sending off the Human Race's emissary, Anker immediately reported the news to his superiors. Soon, the news reached Sudais at the frontlines. Seeing that the human emissary was going to meet with the leader of the Undead, Soudeis immediately frowned.
"This is absolutely impossible …" This was Soudeis's first reaction. The Human Emperor and His Highness were too familiar with each other. It was said that the two of them were brothers. As soon as the two of them met, no matter how they disguised themselves, they would be discovered. How could this be possible? But to refuse … It seemed that there was no good reason to refuse. The human emissary was currently in a temporary alliance with the human emissary. What was wrong with having a face-to-face meeting between the leaders of the two sides?
After thinking about it, Soudeis decided to look for someone to discuss this matter with first. This person was naturally Matthew, because he was the only person in the barracks who knew about Li Huailin's identity. Dennis and Fiona didn't know anything else, so it was useless to talk to them. Thus, Soudeis immediately visited Matthew's tent, hoping to ask him for help in finding a way to refuse the human emissary's proposal.
"Oh? This is a good opportunity. "After listening to the whole matter, Matthew suddenly said.
"Opportunity?" Soudeis was stunned. "What opportunity?"
"Lord Soudeis, have you forgotten what I said before?" Matthew said, "To let His Highness know that the human emissaries aren't on his side, isn't this an opportunity?"
"This … What do you mean? Tell me about it." Soudeis didn't understand, so he asked directly.
"Of course it's to make the human emissaries suspicious of His Highness," Matthew said. "I believe that the human emissaries aren't aware of the relationship between His Highness and us. Once they know about this, what do you think the human emissaries will do?"
"This … this is definitely going to be a big deal." Soudeis immediately said after thinking about it.
"His Highness is our Emperor. Naturally, he will break off relations with the human emissaries. However, now isn't the time. It's best to wait until the war with the Demons is over." Matthew said, "But now, we can take this opportunity to make the human emissaries suspicious of His Highness. If the Human Emperor suspects His Highness, he will naturally be on guard against His Highness. Maybe he will even suppress His Highness. If this happens, do you think His Highness will be happy?"
"Of course not. His Highness is a very strong person. If he encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely be angry." Soudeis immediately said.
"If the human emissaries don't trust him, and we fully support him, which side do you think His Highness will side with?" Matthew asked with a smile.
"This …" After listening to Matthew, Soudeis slightly closed his eyes and thought for a while. His hands were constantly tapping on the table, showing that his heart wasn't very stable. After a while, Soudeis opened his eyes and said, "What you said makes sense. This is not only for us, but also for His Highness and the undead race. In other words, we should let His Highness meet with the Human Emperor?"
"That won't do." Matthew immediately said, "Then he will probably recognize us on the spot. It's hard to say what will happen. What I mean is, you can tell His Highness that we will meet with the Human Emperor on his behalf. When the time comes, we will act according to the situation and make His Highness the Human Emperor suspicious. "
"Hmm, that's a good idea." Sudais thought for a moment before saying, "Right now, the leaders of the Undead are still us Lords. It's not unreasonable to send two of us to meet with the Human Emperor. How about this, I'll immediately think of a way to talk to His Highness. Let's do this."
