"Your Majesty?"
Milnor immediately realized that something was amiss. However, he could not read the letter, and could only wait for Charles II's reaction.
The latter's breathing quickened, and he heaved a sigh of relief after reading the last few sentences of the letter. No one knew that when the monarch received the news that the orcs had more than two thousand Wolf Riders had broken through the defensive line, the first thought that came to his mind was not to continue the encirclement, but to consider if he should escape from the capital …
When he saw that Earl Moore had confirmed that the orcs had left for the east of the kingdom, the monarch felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he gave up on the thought that he had almost said.
Charles II wiped the sweat off his forehead, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was just laughing at Roddy for fleeing from the orcs' siege, and now he almost made the same choice when he heard that Moore had failed to stop the orcs …
Fortunately, he did not show any of this on his face, which allowed him to maintain his composure in front of Milnor. The confidence that he had accumulated over a long period of time would not crumble just because of Moore's' negligence '. He passed the letter to Milnor, "Moore said that he had made a mistake in his judgment. The orcs' strength and numbers were beyond imagination, but it seems that his obstruction had worked, and caused them to retreat and flee towards the east."
This was the only reasonable explanation that Charles II could think of. He did not believe that the orcs could really defeat an army of twenty thousand with just a few thousand people. There had to be various reasons for this, and it was definitely not the difference in strength.
Regaining his breath, he continued, "Moore has already gone to pursue the orcs. If he is sure that the orcs have no intention of returning, then we will prepare to launch a war against Aferta … This time, it will not be about sanctions. I want to see the flag of the royal family planted on all of Aferta's castles. Do you understand?"
"I am at your service, Your Majesty!"

Just as Charles II was immersed in the imagination created by his subordinates, Elsen City was preparing for the triumphant return of Roddy's army.
When Camilla received the news from Nata, who had flown back in advance, she could finally put her heart back into her stomach. After that, she began a series of actions. The 'guardian' who had the authority to spread information throughout the city first released more 'processed' news to confuse the Cullen royal family. Then, she gathered the Orc captives to a special camp for discipline. At the same time, she made arrangements inside and outside the city, announcing Roddy's achievements to all the residents through announcements and posters!
This was a historic victory. When Camilla first heard Natha's story, she couldn't believe it was true. However, after confirming it, she finally realized that what Roddy had done had really changed the future direction of the entire country.
Something like this had to be used to boost everyone's morale and strengthen the cohesiveness of the people!
So, Camilla was so busy these few days that she had no time to sleep. However, the sense of pride in her chest made her not feel tired at all. If not for her status, she would have personally posted the posters and given a speech on stage …
However, Magister Houdini was obviously not as excited as she was. At this time, he was still writing his thoughts in the laboratory of the Pasha Magic Tower.
"The effect of the floating-space tower's attack is beyond my imagination. The magic structure of this city is very different from the magic that Lassman has mastered. So far, I have only obtained a few very shallow conclusions in my research. However, it is enough to prove that the magic civilization here is more complete and more powerful than the system that we are proud of. "
"The power of the spell that they call 'Arcane Missiles' is only equivalent to the power of a Lesser Flame Bomb. However, after the floating-space tower is equipped with a magic array, it produces an amazing collective effect. The energy that they call 'crystals' is obviously the foundation of everything …"
Magister Houdini did not forget to record after completing one experiment after another. The mages of Lassman had a very systematic way of summarizing their experience. The most basic method was to constantly record experiments and speculations, and then verify or refute them through experiments. This way of thinking was very similar to the scientific verification method that Roddy was familiar with. It was no wonder that Lassman's magic community developed rapidly and had an open culture. Just this "scientific research" method alone was incomparable to that of the Kingdom of Karen, which treasured its own knowledge.
After writing another summary, Houdini stood up and stretched. He looked down from the window of the Pasha Magic Tower. In the distance, he finally saw Roddy's small but imposing team arriving at the city gate.
Houdini hurriedly got up and put on his formal attire. He called his apprentices who had dressed up solemnly and walked down the Magic Tower together to personally welcome the triumphant return of the city lord.
For this day, Camilla could be said to have put in a lot of effort. The city was not rich at the moment, but its population had been increasing with the rapid development. It was a piece of cake for the "guardians" to spread the news in such a city. So now, almost all the onlookers could vividly describe the story of Roddy's victory over Augustine, as if they had seen the city lord beating up the Undead Emperor with their own eyes.
The Tasman Empire was described as an evil force that was trying to swallow the whole world. Although it was not an exaggeration to say so, after all, no one in the Kingdom of Karen had seen the horror of the Undead Army. However, with Camilla adding fuel to the fire, people already understood how terrifying the "Undead Army" was, and how unbelievable it was that Roddy could defeat an army of a hundred thousand in Tasman with only a hundred men …
"If it weren't for Lord Roddy, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Karen would have suffered!"
"Don't you know? Duke Lucifron's steward was an undead sent by Augustine! He almost killed old Duke! "
"How did you know? I really didn't know … "
"I heard it in Hogg's bar yesterday. Don't tell anyone. At that time, the city lord already saw through the Undead's plot …"
"Do you know that so many nobles died in the east some time ago?"
"Wasn't that done by the Orcs?"
"Heh, how do you think the Orcs know the location of those nobles?"
"You said it was the Undead … How is that possible?"
"Hey, there are many things that are impossible, but this is true! Let me tell you … "
In this era of underdeveloped information, even the most absurd lie could be told a hundred times and become the truth, let alone something that had really happened. True and false information mixed together and spread. The people finally gradually realized what Roddy had done all these years. At first, "Cabinet Prime Minister" was often a title that people often ridiculed because Roddy's policies were too obviously biased towards Elsen City.
But now, when the news of Elsen City defeating the ten thousand Beastmen army, Rody killing the one hundred thousand undead army, and the Undead Emperor personally killing the one hundred thousand undead army, no one doubted the accuracy of this' Cabinet Prime Minister 'anymore.
