"Father, why did we suddenly attack the orcs and elves at the same time?" Sean asked perplexedly as he followed Andre to the flying steed.
Andre's face darkened, and he softly said, "I also want to know who dared to mobilize the army behind my back."
"Didn't you give the order?" Sean's expression changed slightly. Andre had absolute control over the Roth Empire's army, and the empire's marshal was right beside him. If it wasn't Andre who gave the order, who could mobilize the northwestern and southeastern military regions at the same time?
"Could it be Josh?" Sean exclaimed.
"It's not him." Andre denied Sean's guess almost immediately. "If the Magus Tower controls Rodu, it might have something to do with him. No one else can mobilize the two major military regions apart from me."
"I'm just guessing. I hope Father doesn't blame me. After all, the only person in Rodu who has the power to do something like this is Josh, and we happen to be in Chaos City." Sean quickly lowered his head.
Andre's face darkened when he heard that. He turned to the official beside him, and asked, "Is there any news from Rodu?"
"Your Majesty, everything is normal in Rodu. There are no abnormalities," that official replied respectfully.
"Did Josh send a message?" Andre asked again.
"His Highness the second prince didn't send a message, but news from Rodu says that he is commanding and maintaining order in Rodu."
Andre nodded slightly, and continued, "Pass down my orders. The Roth Empire has entered a state of war. We will continue to advance according to the original plan. We will return to Rodu first."
"Yes," that official replied.
"Your Majesty, can I go directly to the Twilight Forest? If there are problems in the military, I will be held responsible. I hope I can eradicate the problem personally," Dominic said to Andre with a serious expression.
The military bypassed him and the emperor to launch a war against the orcs and elves at the same time. This meant that the empire's army had gone out of control. As the empire's marshal, he would be held responsible.
He desperately wanted to know who could corrupt the military's system and cause such a serious incident.
The target this time was the orcs and elves. What if the next target was Rodu? This was something that no ruler could accept.
Andre stopped in his tracks, and looked at Dominic, and said, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
"Yes." Dominic nodded and left quickly.
Not long after, a black griffin rose from the city lord's mansion and flew towards the northwest.
Following that, flying mounts took off one by one, flying towards the north.
"Joshua, you've brought about your own destruction. You've truly surprised me." Sitting on the back of the griffin, Sean sneered.
The attack on the beastmen was unrelated to him. It was also not an order from his Emperor Father. Thus, the only person capable of doing such a thing was Joshua.
Even though he was surprised by Joshua's infiltration of the military, and even the Northwestern Military District under his control had been mobilized by him.
As for Josh's motive, he guessed that he wanted to start a war during the peace conference so that the various races would attack him and Andre. That way, Josh would naturally become the king of the Roth Empire.
However, despite all of Joshua's calculations, he was still one step behind. Although the various races were furious, they did not try to force them to stay.
The most powerful powerhouses of the Roth Empire had all followed them to Chaos City this time. Anyone who wanted to touch them would have to consider carefully if it was worth it to fight them to the death for an orc.
…
In the Twilight Forest, in a tribe that had just been massacred.
Between the broken walls, the flames had yet to be extinguished, and the corpses of orcs were everywhere.
Joshua stood on a broken wall with his hair disheveled. He closed his eyes and opened his arms wide.
Wisps of black fog rose from the corpses around him, and then surged towards him rapidly. They entered his body and formed a ball of black fog around his body, making him look even more blurry.
What a delicious resentment, a taste that makes one miss it so much …
A greedy and crazy voice sounded in Joshua's heart. His lips curled up into a cold smile.
After he had absorbed all the black fog, Joshua suddenly opened his eyes.
The heavy fog gradually dispersed, and a smear of red flashed across his eyes. His aura suddenly surged crazily.
Joshua clenched his fists and felt a powerful force running amok in his body.
This was power, not magic!
After absorbing the resentment of the 32 slaughtered tribes, his power began to increase crazily.
In terms of power, he should be on par with a 9th-tier knight now.
As a magic caster, he had directly leaped to the level of a 9th-tier knight in just half a day. This made him very happy.
"There is a huge threshold to go from the 9th-tier to the 10th-tier. You still need a super large tribe to provide you with resentment. The Aug Tribe with hundreds of thousands of people is a good choice …" The devil's voice sounded again.
"Then, I'll choose the Aug Tribe." Joshua grinned, and took out a piece of paper specially used for military secret letters. He wrote two lines on it, and then stuffed it into the falcon to send to the frontline military headquarters.
"I've schemed for so many years, and it's all gone now. What a pity …" Joshua looked to the east, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"As long as you can slaughter the entire Twilight Forest and absorb all the resentment, you will be able to transcend and become a real powerhouse, which is also your so-called god. When that time comes, the Roth Empire will be yours. The entire Norland Continent will be yours." The devil's voice sounded in Joshua's heart.
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Alex for being too strong. Blame my father for being too biased. If I can't have it, then I will destroy it. Since you like war, then I will help you start one. I want to see who will have the last laugh and sit on the throne." Joshua stopped smiling, and turned into a cloud of black fog, disappearing into the forest.
…
A messenger rushed into the tent, and reported, "Princess, the five lines of defense at the northwestern border have been breached. The Roth Empire's army has already entered The Wind Forest. They are unstoppable!"
"What!?"
In the tent, the elves who were discussing the strategy to retreat from the enemy were all shocked when they heard that.
Sally also frowned when she heard that, but she remained calm. She looked at the messenger, and asked, "What about the Keynes Family, the Radner Family, and the Stadt Family?"
The territories of these three families were located in the northwestern part of The Wind Forest, which was the route of the Roth Empire's invasion.
"The Keynes Family was breached after a fierce battle. The Radner Family and the Stadt Family had already fled south before the enemy came," the messenger reported.
