On the smooth floor, there was a red wool carpet embroidered with the image of the sun. Graham walked briskly into the main hall. After some renovations, it was now in the style of the Dragonboat Palace.
Behind the majestic throne, there was a divine dragon coiling in the sun. The king of the Dragonboat Empire was known as the son of the Dragon God. The second prince, Soaring Dragon, sat on the throne without a crown on his head. But he seemed to be very satisfied. Sitting on the throne and looking down on his subjects made him very excited. But how long would this last? Would he get bored and lose interest in politics?
There was no way to know, but Graham was sure that he wouldn't be working so hard for long. Soon, he would leave the boring work to the ministers.
"Imperial Advisor, you're late. Didn't I say you would report to me every day?"
The second prince questioned. He raised his chin slightly and looked at the Imperial Advisor with a sharp gaze.
Graham bent at the waist.
"My apologies, Your Highness."
"Forget it. Just this once. Tell me the situation. I want to know how many soldiers the other countries have and how strong the adventurer's guild is."
"According to the documents, the Luas Empire and the adventurer's guild have each sent three hundred thousand soldiers. The Ophiuchi Empire has two hundred thousand. The rest of the smaller countries together have around a hundred thousand."
"And in reality?"
"In reality, it's about the same. But the difference in strength is too great, so it's hard to estimate. Your Highness, there are three heroes participating in this battle. They are Wight Duris of the Luas Empire, Klaus of the Kalis Empire, and Chen Chang Sheng of the Martial Arts Sect of Rhode Island. Fortunately, the Martial Arts Sect is fighting for our revenge. "
Hearing this, Soaring Dragon laughed happily, "That's only natural. Rhode Island owes us a favor. This is something they should do."
"That said, Your Highness, are you considering participating in this battle?"
"Of course, but not now."
Soaring Dragon's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth curved, "At the most crucial moment, let's have those hotheads lead the charge and probe the enemy. Our army will stay behind. We will be the final winner."
"But this time, the allied forces are too powerful. If the three of them lead the army to destroy the Wussen Empire, then the credit will be taken by them. This will not be good for your reputation."
Graham said.
Xiang Long chuckled, "If this is the case, then it means that the Wussen Empire is just a second-rate demon race. It will soon be forgotten. Our true enemy is the Evil Dragon. As long as we can defeat it, no, it must be me who defeats it. That way, I can rightfully sit on this position and everyone in the world will praise my achievements. "
Graham frowned, thinking that if people knew that the Dragon Boat Empire was turned upside down by a second-rate Demon Race, it would be a big joke.
"That's all I wanted to say. Does Your Highness have any other instructions?"
"Where is that ugly little sister of mine? Ever since the meeting, she seems to have disappeared. Hmph, this fellow might have ambitions for my throne. Bring her to see me, State Preceptor."
"I will do my best."
Graham left the Grand Hall and returned to his room. When he opened the door, he lowered his head to look at the doorknob. Then, he turned around to look at his surroundings before entering the room.
There was a woman sitting in the room with her back to the door. Graham casually placed the documents in the cabinet beside her.
"Your brother is looking everywhere for you, Lord Long Xing."
He said calmly.
The person sitting in the chair was Xiang Long's little sister, the one who had stirred up the situation, Long Xing.
"It seems that becoming a hero won't change his cowardly personality."
Long Xing sat in Graham's chair. She turned around, revealing her stitched up face.
"How is the plan going?"
"Just as Your Highness predicted, the Prince doesn't plan on participating in the war."
Graham snorted and continued, "Four hundred thousand people. Haha, who would have thought that the one who would push them to hell would be their Prince? Speaking of which, I find it very strange. This plan doesn't seem to benefit you at all. Even in the end, you won't be able to become King, right? "
Long Ying smiled. She sat there without saying a word, and her somewhat indifferent gaze looked a little scary. Graham's smile slowly froze. He felt a trace of fear towards this woman. What was she planning?
"Nothing, it's just …"
She touched her own face and said, "It's just a little revenge."
"What a scary woman. Forget it, I don't understand what you royalty are thinking. I don't care, as long as … I can return to the motherland and let the Gotham Empire reappear."
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling. At this moment, a light lit up. It was a map, an old map of the Gotham Empire.
… …
This was the largest united human army in two hundred years. More than a million people gathered in the Kalis Empire. The sky was densely packed with large and small airships. On the ground, there was a black mass of soldiers, as well as various weapons and magic beasts.
The Luyas Empire's Gryphon Regiment quickly flew across the sky. Their speed was even faster than the flying dragons. The Dragon Boat Empire's flame cannons were five meters tall. They could easily create a hole in a mountain. However, the two empires' equipment was far from that. It was obvious that the Luyas Empire and the Dragon Boat Empire had not shown their true strength.
Compared to the two armies, the Adventurer's Guild's equipment was mediocre.
Layel took her airship, the Black Rose, and arrived at the Kalis Empire. At this moment, she was very uneasy. She sat at the dining table and looked at the scenery outside the window. Although her posture was still dignified, her face was covered with a layer of haze.
Bilux came to her side, then quietly pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
"What are you thinking about? Is it related to this war?"
He rarely asked Layel questions, so this attracted her attention. When she was about to answer, he continued to ask.
"Or is it about Hero Klaus?"
Hearing this, Layel raised an eyebrow. She looked at Bilux suspiciously and picked up the tea on the table.
"You seem to have something to say, Bilux."
"Nothing, I'm just worried about your situation."
Bilux looked like he had something on his mind.
"When did you and Klaus meet?"
He asked the question in his heart. Layel looked away and said calmly, "We met six years ago. At that time, we came to Stone City to carry out a mission."
"Is it the time when we were tracking the shapeshifters?"
"You still remember, what's wrong? Why are you talking about this now? Are you also like those who spread the rumors, thinking that I have something to do with him? "
Layel asked with a smile.
"Do you have that kind of relationship?"
Hearing this, Layel's smile instantly disappeared.
"How is that possible, Bilux, what do you want to say?"
She frowned and felt that he was not normal today.
"Your butler told me everything. Layel, forgive me, I just want to protect you."
Bilux said calmly. Layel took a deep breath. With a clank, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground. She staggered to her feet and only felt that the world was spinning.
"You! You actually … did this to me. "
Layel never thought that Bilux would betray her.
She fell down. Bilux sighed, and then a figure appeared behind him.
"Don't stand behind me, Ito."
Bilokus said with a ferocious look.
After a while, the airship turned around and left toward the west. At the front line of the army, the seventh hero, Klaus, who was sitting in the barracks, suddenly received an order.
"Sir hero! We received an order from the higher-ups of the union. The enemy may have noticed our movements. Please lead our army immediately and launch a surprise attack. The army of the Dragon Boat Empire and the army of Luyas will attack from both sides and annihilate the enemy. Victory will belong to our army. "
"Surprise attack?"
Hero Klaus thought for a while, then looked at the soldiers.
"Then I understand. Pass down my order, prepare to march immediately!"
"Yes!!"
