While Li Huailin was contacting the Snake King Association, a group of Undead emissaries appeared in the main human city, the City of God's Blessing. It disrupted the lives of the poor people in the city. Since the Undead's visit was more formal, the emissaries entered the city through the main entrance. This attracted the attention of the citizens of the main city. It was similar to the scale of the prisoner offering ceremony the day before yesterday.
To the citizens of the main city, the Undead were very strange. Although the Humans and the Undead had been enemies for many years, only the Humans in the South had seen the Undead. The main city was located in the center of the Human Empire, so the citizens had never seen the Undead before. Therefore, they were very curious about the Undead.
"So this is what the Undead look like. Their dry skin is so disgusting," a passerby said as he pointed at the Undead soldiers that were entering the city.
"The Humans and the Undead are actually on the same side. I think the New Empire is finished," a pessimistic human citizen said.
Sudaisi and Matthew, who were in the middle of the crowd, were very annoyed by the pointing and comments of the people around them. They didn't like the Human Race in the first place, but now they were being treated like animals. They were sure that they would have to fight the Human Race sooner or later.
Although there were a lot of onlookers, it didn't cause any conflict. The emissary group arrived at the Human Race's palace without a hitch. Of course, there wasn't any drama of the Human Race's Emperor coming out to welcome them. The relationship between the two sides was just average. Anthony was waiting for the Undead to arrive in the main hall.
"Undead Lord Soudeis Paulson (Undead Lord Matthew Lubian) greets the Human Emperor, Your Highness." The two of them saluted in a very standard manner. Anthony quickly returned the salute to show his respect. However, the other ministers didn't seem to care about them. Some of them even showed a disgusted expression from time to time. This made Soudeis a little angry.
"Thank you for coming, Lords. However, I have a question. Why didn't the current leader of the Undead come?" Anthony asked.
"It's like this, Your Royal Highness." Matthew stepped forward and said, "His Highness has been very busy recently. He simply has no time to attend to other matters. Therefore, he has sent the two of us here. We hope that Your Highness can understand."
Matthew didn't deny the fact that they had a new leader. Although many people had discovered Li Huailin's appearance, this was the first time the Undead had officially announced the emergence of a new leader. Of course, this was also Matthew's goal.
Anthony naturally noticed this situation. At the beginning, he thought that the undead on this side would deny it. After all, they had never admitted it before. However, today, they actually admitted it for the first time. After thinking for a while, Anthony asked further, "Although our two armies are attacking the demons, the leaders of both sides haven't had a formal meeting yet. This is really not good. I don't even know the name of the leader of the undead …" "That's right. You're right."
"Our emperor's name is Wocha," Matthesun said.
"Voza?" Anthony was a little stunned. This name was a little beyond his imagination because he had never heard of it before. When Anthony first learned that the Undead Army had a new leader, he also guessed the name of this leader. The most likely possibility was that this leader was the previous Emperor Carcery.
Everyone knew that the leader of the Undead Army, Carcery, had suddenly disappeared four years ago. That was why the Undead Army had fallen into a civil war. Now that a new leader had suddenly appeared, the best explanation was that Carcery had returned. According to the Demons, Carcery might have returned with the godly sword to lead the Undead. Everything could be explained if that was the case. The reason why Carcery had disappeared previously was because he had gone to look for the godly sword. After four years, he finally found it. Now, he had returned to lead the Undead Army. Anthony also thought that this explanation was the most reasonable, so he did not believe Gordon's words about Li Huailin being the leader of the Undead Army. After all, Huailin was a human. It was too unreasonable.
However, Matthesun said that the new leader's name was Wocha, not Carcery. This gave Anthony a headache. First of all, he had never heard of this name before. In his memory, there was no leader named Wocha in the Undead Army. It felt like this person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Emperor Wocha? I don't think I've heard of this name before … Which Undead family does he come from? "Anthony thought for a moment and decided to clarify.
"His Highness is the Chosen One …"
"Hey!" Before Matthesun could finish his sentence, Soudeis immediately stopped him and said to Anthony, "His Highness' background isn't important. His throne has also been recognized and supported by all the feudal lords. This is an internal matter of the Undead, so please don't ask too much, Your Highness."
Although Soudeis said that he didn't want to talk about it, Anthony already knew a lot of things. For example, Wocha shouldn't be a noble of the Undead race, and … he should really have obtained the godly sword. After all, Matthesun had mentioned the keyword "the Chosen One."
"Her Highness the Empress has arrived …" As they spoke, a sudden announcement was heard. Everyone turned around and saw Empress Marina walking out of the back hall. Although it was not a big deal for the Empress to attend the meeting, Marina usually wouldn't attend such a meeting. However, no one knew why she was here today. Although it was a little strange, the ministers immediately greeted her.
"Empress, why are you here?" Anthony asked curiously.
"I'm just a little curious about the Undead race," Marina said. She then looked at the two Undead Lords and said, "Are these two the leaders of the Undead race?"
"Greetings, Your Highness the Empress." Soudeis immediately said, "We aren't the leaders of the Undead race. Our leader really can't find the time, so he sent us two feudal lords to meet the Emperor and bring our leader's greetings."
"Oh." Marina nodded. "That's a pity. I've always wanted to meet the leader of the Undead race. I wonder what kind of person he is. Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask the Undead Lord face to face, but I'm afraid I can't do that now."
"What question does Your Highness have? I can answer it on behalf of Her Highness," Soudeis immediately said.
"I've always been curious about when and under what circumstances did your leader negotiate with us. Previously, the Undead invaded our southern city. Then, they suddenly negotiated with us and attacked the Dwarves together. There's a question here. Did you negotiate with us before attacking our city, or did you negotiate with us after attacking?" Marina asked.
Marina's question was very tricky. On the surface, it seemed like she was questioning the Undead. If they had negotiated with the Undead before attacking, then it would be an act. Even if it was a part of the attack plan, then the Undead wouldn't have any problems. However, if the Undead attacked first before negotiating, then the Undead's goal would be to attack the Humans from the very beginning. This meant that the Undead had the intention to attack the Humans from the very beginning. Of course, this was only the situation on the surface. In fact, Ma Linna wanted to know when Li Huailin contacted the Undead. If it was after the war started, it could be explained. But if he contacted the Undead before the war started and wanted to put on a show, how did he contact the Undead?
After hearing this question, Matthew's eyes lit up. He instantly understood what Marina was trying to say. From this question, Matthew immediately knew that the person Marina was talking about was His Highness Li Huailin. No matter what the reason was, Matthew knew that the Empress had doubts about Li Huailin's identity. She didn't know that Anthony trusted Li Huailin so much, but this was good news for him.
"Your Highness …" While he was thinking, Soudeis was about to reply. However, Matthew secretly pulled him from behind.
"Wait, Soudeis," Matthew whispered. "The Empress seems to be suspicious about His Highness' identity."
"What?" Soudeis also replied in a low voice. "What's going on?"
"Let me do it," Matthew said immediately.
"Okay," Soudeis thought for a moment and nodded. Although he didn't know why the Empress Marina was suspicious about Li Huailin's identity, they just wanted to make the humans doubt Li Huailin's identity. This was a good opportunity. After all, they still had a lot of things to do.
Matthew took a step forward and answered, "Your Highness the Emperor, Your Highness the Empress, our attack on the Human Territory was just a show for the Dwarves and the Demons. We were given this clear order before we attacked. Therefore, you can see that our attack was very strange. At the beginning, our attack was very fierce, but after that, we didn't advance even half a step. This was all discussed before."
"Oh, so it's like that." Anthony nodded. "It's Huailin's plan. I also thought it was strange why we attacked so fiercely on the first day. After that, we didn't advance at all. It's Huailin's plan."
"Hmph." Ma Linna snickered secretly. She didn't know why the Undead were so cooperative. Of course, she had long seen that Li Huailin was putting on a show to trick the Demons and Dwarves. She asked this question in order to elicit the topic of how Li Huailin could get in touch with the Undead. At first, she thought that the Undead would quibble, but she didn't expect them to be so cooperative. So Ma Linna immediately asked, "Ai … I see. But I have a new question."
"Does Your Highness the Empress have any more questions?" Matthew asked immediately.
"If that's the case, the battle between the Undead and the 2nd Legion was a ploy to lure the Dwarves and Demons into a trap. It seems like this is the Duke of Aquitaine's brilliant plan. But how did the Duke of Aquitaine get in touch with your new leader? This feels a little strange … "Marina asked with a smile.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this question, Anthony was also taken aback. That's right, how did Li Huailin get in touch with this new leader called Wocha? Wocha was also a figure who suddenly appeared in this war. Before this, there were no records of this guy at all. No one knew of his existence, so how did Li Huailin know about him? Or perhaps they met by chance? That didn't seem right. The Undead Lord also said that they had been ordered to put on a show before the battle began. In other words, the two sides had agreed to meet before the battle began. It was possible for them to meet on the battlefield after the battle began, but for them to meet each other before the battle began … that didn't seem likely.
Looking at Anthony's expression, Marina understood that her words were effective. She had specially invited the Undead to come over and attend at this time just to catch the Undead's faulty wording and ask some questions to make Anthony a little suspicious. She didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and she also didn't expect that the Undead would also pursue the same effect.
Seeing Anthony's puzzled expression, Matthew nodded. Their goal was the same, which was to make Anthony worry about Li Huailin. It would be best if Anthony started to doubt him and suppress him. Matthew continued to answer, "Sigh … We're not too sure about this. After all, we're only following His Highness' orders. We don't doubt His Highness' orders at all. But how do you think His Highness contacted the Duke of Aquitaine? How would we know?"
"But speaking of which, your leader seems to trust the Duke of Aquitan. After all, both sides didn't sign any written agreement. All the actions were just verbal agreements. Even so, our cooperation was not bad and we successfully defeated the Dwarves. This is also the result of our joint efforts. I hope we can maintain this harmonious relationship. After all, we're still attacking the Demons together," Marina said after pondering for a moment.
On the surface, Marina's words seemed to be praising the cooperation between the two sides, but in fact, it raised a question. Why were Li Huailin and Wocha so trustworthy? One was the Undead Emperor, while the other was a human Duke. They trusted each other too much, unless …
Upon hearing Marlina's words, Anthony recalled Gordon's words. That was, Li Huailin and the undead leader were actually the same person. Marlina's words had been leading this matter in that direction. If you don't believe me, I'll tell you in a roundabout way.
In the end, the Undead were unusually cooperative. Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, Her Highness also said that your country's Duke of Aquitan is a very trustworthy person. She asked us to cooperate with his plan. Isn't that right, Overlord Soudeis?"
"Uh … Yes, I've heard Her Highness say that too." Sudais thought for a moment, then braced himself and said.
"Is that so?" Anthony was a little suspicious. After all, it was a little strange for a human to be trusted by the leader of the Undead.
"Of course, before His Highness came here, he also asked us to convey his message. He said that our two families have the same goal in attacking the Demon Race. He hopes that our two families can continue to cooperate. Our Undead will fight all the way to the Demon Race's main city. I don't know if the Human Emperor can also express his opinion?" Matteson said.
"Your Highness." Marina nudged Anthony and reminded him when she saw that Anthony seemed to be deep in thought.
"Oh, yes, we will also attack the enemy's main city," Anthony said uneasily.
"That's great. We will definitely convey the human Emperor's message to Her Highness," Matthew said.
"I also have a question on my side," Anthony suddenly said after thinking for a while.
"Please speak, Your Highness," Soudeis said.
"In the previous battle, we captured a Marshal of the Demons," Anthony said.
"Oh? Is it Gordon, the Marshal of the Demons? This guy has always been against the Undead. I didn't expect him to side with the humans, "Soudeis said.
"Yes, it's Gordon, the marshal of the No. 1 demon corps. Of course, he's also an enemy of humans. He's been locked up by us. However, he told me a piece of strange news …" Anthony said.
"What a strange piece of news. What is it?" Su Daisi asked.
"He said that the new leader of the Undead …" Anthony paused for a moment, then suddenly shook his hand. "Forget it, forget it."
"Huh?" Soudeis asked curiously.
"Nothing, I figured it out myself." Anthony waved his hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore. The two Lords have come from thousands of miles away. We humans should not forget our etiquette. Since we are done talking about the national affairs, let's prepare for the banquet."
Afterward, the banquet was held in the banquet hall of the human palace. However, Anthony seemed to have a lot on his mind. In the afternoon, the meeting between the two races officially ended. The two Undead Lords left peacefully, leaving Anthony with a puzzled look on his face.
