"The enemy knows our magic very well. Our city's barrier is useless. General White, the situation is very bad for us. I'm afraid that this is the most dangerous situation in the history of the Luyas Empire. I think we should put aside our prejudices and ask for help from the Dragon Boat Empire. Their new weapons may be useful."
The Imperial Preceptor said with a solemn face. The generals and strategists present all had a worried look on their faces. It was as if every defeat was recorded on their faces.
Hero White sat in her father's seat. At this time, she was not as arrogant as before.
"As far as I know, the Dragon Boat Empire can't even protect themselves. The Soaring Dragon Prince is also in hiding. Their biggest ally, the Eternal Hero, also lost contact with them after the storm. Instead of looking for the Dragon Boat Empire, it's better to look for the Adventurer's Guild. "
She said calmly.
The Imperial Preceptor's eyebrows were very long, almost like hair hanging down. He said worriedly: "The enemy's attack is so fierce. Small countries are falling one by one. The Adventurer's Guild's defense line has collapsed. No one is willing to let their soldiers work for the Adventurer's Guild. Now, they should not be able to gather a complete army."
"In other words, the only thing we can count on now is the last Hero, the Snake Wanfu Empire, which is geographically the safest? I heard that they have an army of mermaids. "
White said.
"Maybe it's true, but the mermaids can't go ashore. We admit that the Snake Wanfu Empire has the most powerful navy, but on land, they can't even compare to the current Guild. I guess they will take a big ship and escape to an island. They can make a living by fishing. "
The Imperial Preceptor sighed and shook his head.
The successive defeats caused the Luyas Empire to fall into despair. In just a few weeks, they lost nearly half of their territory and half of their generals. Thunder Hand Gett, Dragon Killer Cayman, etc., were nothing in front of the Demon King Richard.
The soldiers began to fear going to the battlefield. It was no wonder, after all, even their Hero did not dare to lead the army and charge to the frontline.
Everyone was silently observing White's expression. They did not dare to ask this question. Was she afraid? No one knew who leaked the news, but the news of White returning with injuries spread throughout the palace. Now, the people were even more anxious.
On the other hand, the King was too old, and a new King had not been decided yet. Now that the country was in danger, who could save them?
Everyone prayed for the birth of a new Hero, but reality always disappointed them. After the seventh Hero, no other Hero appeared. But if the four Heroes couldn't defeat the Demon King, what was the point of having one more?
"Apart from the 20,000 magic guards stationed in the Imperial City, the army that we can mobilize now, together with some new recruits, we can barely gather 150,000 soldiers. Furthermore, the enemy is divided into three groups, and each group has at least 600,000 soldiers. "
White's magic strategist, Gurun, lowered his head and said.
The recruits were ordinary people who couldn't even lift a sword and didn't know much about magic. They couldn't be considered as combat power at all. If they were to go to the battlefield, they would only be cannon fodder. It could be seen how terrible the situation was.
White sighed.
At this moment, a man whose gaze was erratic and who seemed to be fidgeting suddenly raised his hand and said loudly, "Why don't we surrender? The Demon King has announced that he won't kill those who surrender. This is an opportunity for us. Let's pretend to surrender first, and then take advantage of their carelessness … "
Duke Matthew's smile was in sharp contrast to the people around him. He was the only one who was so optimistic in such a situation. He even said something that only children would fantasize about, but it seemed that he himself didn't think so.
"Duke Matthew, I don't know who allowed you to attend this meeting, but it's obviously a mistake," White said mercilessly.
Duke Matthew's face turned livid. He stood up at once, clenched his right fist, and slammed the table with his left hand. He protested, "This is a strategy! It's a good strategy for us to win with fewer people. Princess White, you are a woman, so you don't know the brilliance of this strategy. I know that surrendering is a humiliation, but victory can wash away all humiliation! "
His words brought a bit of a funny atmosphere to the dead meeting. Perhaps this was his biggest role.
White covered his forehead, and the people around him laughed.
"Then, Duke Matthew, let me ask you, when the enemy surrenders, will you let them get close to you fully armed?"
Hearing this, Duke Matthew froze for a moment and then said, "Of course not, but … I have already thought about it. Let our soldiers hide their weapons, and then let someone give the order. Everyone will resist together and kill those demons …"
At this time, everyone in the conference room laughed, and Duke Matthew's face suddenly turned red.
"What are you laughing at? Now, only I can come up with a strategy to deal with the enemy. What right do you have to laugh at me? "
He accused everyone.
White sighed. In the past, she would have mercilessly thrown this clown out, but now, all she could do was sigh.
She couldn't count on anyone, and only this clown was making trouble. Was the empire really finished?
"Then you can take your army and carry it out, Duke Matthew. I look forward to the news of your victory."
Hearing this, Duke Matthew was suddenly speechless. Everyone knew that he didn't have an army at all, and he didn't have the courage to do such a thing.
Just as Matthew gritted his teeth and imagined the remorseful look of everyone after his victory, and Princess White, who was constantly trying to please him, a guard broke the silence of the meeting.
"Princess, the president of the Adventurers Guild has sent you a secret letter."
The guard knelt on the ground, holding a glass bottle with a letter in his hands.
"Let me see."
After that, White flicked her finger, and the letter in the guard's hand flew out and into White's hand. Just as she touched the glass bottle, a white mist suddenly appeared near the mouth of the bottle.
This was a magic bottle. If someone else opened it rashly, the letter inside would be burned to ashes in an instant.
White took out the letter inside and opened it. It was indeed Claire Phoenix's handwriting. It was old-fashioned and neat.
"The Guild seems to have a countermeasure, but I don't know if it's true or not. This is the end of this meeting. Gurun, speed up your development of new magic. Generals, please do your best to delay the enemy."
After that, she stood up, and the meeting was over. The ministers, generals, and counselors left one after another, and Duke Matthew also left angrily.
White left the conference room. In the corridor, she threw the letter behind her, and then it turned into a ball of fire and disappeared without a trace.
"Come, prepare the airship for me."
"Yes!"
