"This feeling is indeed not bad."
Josh walked out of the Magus Tower. His eyes gradually returned to normal, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. As long as you can start a war, your power will continue to increase. When that time comes, no one in this world will be a match for you. "The devil's low voice sounded in his mind.
"Next, I am going to the Ministry of War," Josh ordered the coachman as he boarded the horse-drawn carriage.
Not long after, a few urgent letters were sent from the Ministry of War to the border using the fastest falcon.
At the same time, a black griffin silently rose from the palace and flew toward the northwestern border.
…
"Return to the forest immediately and activate the highest level of combat readiness. Guard against the Roth Empire's invasion," Helena ordered an elf.
"High Priestess, the Roth Empire is our friend. They have established a peace alliance. Now that the Roth Empire only has us as their friend, they can't possibly attack us, right?" that elf asked perplexedly.
"There are no eternal friends in this world. Don't expect a sly fox like Andre to keep his word," Helena said coldly.
"Yes, I will return to the forest immediately." That elf's expression turned serious, and he quickly left.
The Wind Forest had spent most of its energy on the goblins in recent years, and had almost no defenses against the Roth Empire. If the Roth Empire really attacked The Wind Forest, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Of course, that elf still didn't believe that the Roth Empire would attack their friendly friend.
…
"I'm afraid the giant dragons won't give up their territory so easily. They are famous for being stingy. How can they give their territory away?" Michael said to Meg, who he had invited to his study.
"If the Roth Empire only wants this piece of territory, their request is actually not too much. They can sign the peace treaty reasonably and peacefully, and let the Norland Continent enjoy another 100 years of peace.
The giant dragons are still the same giant dragons, but the Roth Empire is no longer the weak country it used to be. They have to face all of this seriously. If Crassus and I had stood behind Andre in today's peace conference, the contrast would have been even more obvious. "Meg shook his head slightly.
Michael nodded in agreement. "Yes. If the two of you had stood behind Andre instead of opposing him, he would have had more confidence."
"I want to know Chaos City's attitude. If the Roth Empire attacks the orcs, will you send reinforcements?" Meg asked as he looked into Michael's eyes.
"Of course." Michael nodded seriously.
"Alright." Meg nodded slightly.
…
"Father, I'm afraid that the Colossal Dragon Tribe will not agree to our request so easily."
"If they don't agree, we'll have a reason to start a war. If the giant dragons would agree so easily, why would I make such a request?" Andre looked at Sean with a smile.
Sean looked pensive. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "How does Father plan to deal with Alex?"
"No matter how strong Alex is, he's still just one person. We don't have to care about him." Andre's smile was filled with confidence.
"But he's much stronger now than he was three years ago. If we leave him alone, he'll be a huge threat to us." Sean thought about how Alex broke through the blockade of six 10th-tier powerhouses, easily killed his way to him, and then broke his arm. His face was still slightly pale.
"He's become stronger and sly. It's impossible to ambush him like we did three years ago. Since that's the case, why don't we just let him be? Given his character, he'll appear in front of the army sooner or later. When that time comes …" Andre's lips curled into a cold smile.
…
The one-hour intermission passed very quickly. However, due to the huge disagreement within the giant dragons, Andre's conditions could not be reached, and the meeting fell into an anxious wrangling again.
Meg had already expected this. The giant dragons were not afraid of the Roth Empire. At least, the Roth Empire was still far from being a threat to the Dragon Island in the sky.
However, the existence of the Great Old One made the giant dragons feel a fatal threat.
Above the giant dragons, there was an existence with terrifying power, and this existence was filled with malice towards this world.
The half of the Great Old One in the Thunderstorm Mountains made them deeply feel this difference. That was the difference when they used to look down on the ants on the ground. It was just that they had become ants now.
Hence, the giant dragons took the initiative to ask for cooperation, and even took the initiative to set up a peace alliance with the other races.
Meanwhile, Andre, who had a generous personality, did not put the Great Old One in the first place at all. Instead, he used it as one of the bargaining chips in the negotiation.
Once the Roth Empire started a war, it would definitely sweep across the Norland Continent. If the Great Old One appeared then, the Norland Continent would face the awkward situation of not being able to organize an effective resistance and counterattack.
Just like that, the whole morning passed without any results.
Dracula yawned, and turned to ask Camilla, "This kind of meeting is indeed super boring. We can't even get a word in. Can we go to Mamy's for lunch?"
"Mamy's is closed today." Camilla shook her head.
"Ah … What a sad piece of news." Dracula sighed.
Meg took advantage of the lunch break to go home to cook for Amy and Anne before returning to the city lord's castle.
This was a power struggle between the Roth Empire and the giant dragons. His influence was limited.
Now, it was a matter of who would compromise first.
The negotiations in the afternoon fell into a stalemate again. The various races in the peace alliance all came down to express their support for the giant dragons and the orcs. However, Andre still refused to budge, and insisted on half of the giant dragons' territory.
Just when everyone thought that today's negotiations would come to an end, an urgent secret letter was delivered to the leaders of the various races present.
"Bastard! Andre, you old man, you actually launched a sneak attack!!! " Auster slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Andre with bloodshot eyes. His hand that was holding the secret letter was trembling.
Andre frowned slightly as if he did not understand the reason for Auster's anger.
Sean handed a military report that he had just received to Andre with a complicated expression, and softly said, "An urgent letter from the Northwest Border Army. The 36 orc tribes have been taken down."
"Hmm?" Andre's frown deepened. He took the secret letter and scanned it quickly. His face darkened.
Helena also stood up with a dark expression, and coldly shouted, "Andre, the elves have been on good terms with the Roth Empire for hundreds of years. Why did you send troops to invade The Wind Forest?"
