It was a dark and windy night.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were gathering at the northwestern border of the Roth Empire.
Recently, the orc tribe's invasion had been decreasing, but the number of cavalrymen deployed from various places had been increasing silently.
Those who had been at the border for some time knew that the northwestern border was going to change.
Over the years, the various military regions had been rotating in the northwestern military region. They had relied on the constant battles with the orcs to train their combat power, and had always maintained a balance of numbers.
However, recently, the elites from various armies had been sent to the northwestern military region continuously, but the original garrison troops had not left. This made people start to have other thoughts.
These years, the orcs had been harassing the Roth Empire's borders, and many villages had been raided. Furthermore, after many years of fighting, both sides had suffered injuries and deaths. The hatred had accumulated, and all the soldiers had a fire in their hearts. If they had the chance, they wouldn't mind charging into the orcs with their swords and horses.
Now, they only lacked an order from Rodu, and they could cross the mountains in front of them, charge into the Twilight Forest, and make that fertile land and vast forest part of the Roth Empire's territory.
…
At the southern border of the Roth Empire, the number of border troops had also been increasing gradually recently.
Although the official order had not been issued, many military generals already knew that the Roth Empire might go to war on all fronts, and they had planted the Roth Empire's flag further away.
The hearts of the empire's soldiers were slowly swelling like their power had been increasing over the years.
That big city in the south that could be compared to Rodu was still not worth mentioning in their eyes.
…
Vic Mountain. The elves had already entered a state of war.
"Evacuate all important facilities and personnel into the underground cavern. Pay close attention to the Roth Empire's movements. Once a large-scale army appears, don't fight them head-on. Retreat as you fight in the underground cavern to stop them from advancing quickly. At the same time, preserve your strength and reduce the casualties to the greatest extent!" A goblin elder ordered.
…
The suspension bridge of Issen Castle rose slowly, and completely isolated the entire castle from the outside world.
The foreign tribes in the city had all been chased out of the castle a few days ago. All the exits had been sealed, and soldiers were stationed to guard them.
…
Overnight, the situation on the Norland Continent became very tense.
All the races started to prepare for war. Before the results of the peace conference were announced, these measures would probably not be changed.
…
After returning to the restaurant, Irina took a sip of red wine and said to Meg, who was sitting opposite her, "It went smoother than I thought."
"Peace is in the interest of most races. This result is actually within my expectations," Meg said with a smile.
"Do you think Andre will come tomorrow? Or will he start the war in advance? "Irina asked.
"If Andre starts the war in advance, the Roth Empire would be able to conquer the Twilight Forest in the west or The Wind Forest in the east in a very short time given their current power." Meg said with a serious expression, "Furthermore, once the occupation becomes an established fact, and the Roth Empire no longer attacks the other races, then the race whose territory has been invaded will have a hard time asking the other races to reclaim their territory."
"The beastmen have already joined the peace alliance." Irina frowned.
Meg shook his head. "Benefits come first between races. We will uphold justice for Connie, but even the giant dragons will not go against the Roth Empire directly for the beastmen.
The purpose of this alliance is actually more of a deterrent effect.
However, if the beastmen are really invaded, as long as he can withstand the first wave of attacks and create some time for the alliance to send reinforcements, I believe the other races will still be willing to send an army to assist their allies. This is more in line with the interests of the other races. "
Irina nodded thoughtfully. Even people of the same race might not be able to do their best. It was indeed unrealistic to expect the other races to protect you.
"In that case, do we need to send reinforcements to the beastmen in advance?" Irina asked again.
"Based on my understanding of Andre, he will not do such a thing without a valid reason." Meg shook his head with a smile, and said, "Once he tears up the peace treaty and attacks the beastmen or elves, it will be equivalent to standing directly against the peace alliance, or even the other races. Then, the other races will have a reason to join forces to deal with him.
Even if he can obtain the Twilight Forest and The Wind Forest in a short time, this will bring about a joint blockade from the other races, as well as a possible encirclement and annihilation. "
"Do you think he will give up his ambition to invade other races because of the establishment of the peace alliance?"
"He is obviously not such a person, so I am very curious how he will respond to this to fulfill his ambition." Meg shook his head slightly.
"Seems like the peace conference tomorrow will be very interesting." Irina's lips curled up into a smile.
"Father, you are finally back!" Amy ran downstairs, and looked at the two of them drinking red wine. She put her hands on her waist, and angrily said, "Have you forgotten about us?"
Anne came downstairs quietly with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and looked at Meg and Irina with a smile.
"Aiya, I forgot that our two little cuties haven't eaten yet. What do you want to eat? I will make it for you right away." Meg looked at the two little ones, and slapped his head as he stood up. Too many things had happened today, and he had forgotten about Amy and Anne.
"Speaking of which, we haven't had dinner either." Irina also looked at him.
"That's just right. Let's have a good meal." Meg pinched Amy's cheek with a smile, and said, "Father will cook roast goose for you tomorrow."
"Roast goose! Really? " Amy's eyes immediately lit up, and she swallowed her saliva. Then, she looked back at Ugly Duckling, and her smile became even more vibrant. "It has wings."
"Meow???"
Ugly Duckling meowed. I am not a real cat, but you are a real dog …
"Where is Anne? What do you want to eat?" Meg asked Anne again.
Anne stroked Ugly Duckling's head.
"You want to eat roast goose too?" Meg glanced at Ugly Duckling.
"Meow???"
Ugly Duckling's orange fur stood up.
Meg went into the kitchen, and soon made a sumptuous dinner.
When the last dish, spicy crayfish, was served, everyone started to eat.
"Father, will the restaurant be open tomorrow?" Amy asked as she nibbled on the crayfish that Meg had peeled for her.
"I might have to take another day off to study roast goose." Meg answered with a smile. The peace conference would be held tomorrow afternoon, and as an important representative, he naturally had to attend.
With roast goose in hand, he naturally wasn't afraid that the customers would scold him afterward.
"Okay, okay. I love roast goose the most." Amy nodded. Every time she passed by the roast goose restaurant, she couldn't move her feet. Although her father's roast duck was super delicious, she still wanted to try the real roast goose.
