After leaving Tal's kingdom, Laing and the Lady of the Lake looked at each other with complicated expressions.
The Lord of Nature, Tal, had finally defeated the plague of Nurgle under the three forces and recovered all his power.
Tal expressed his gratitude to Shalia, Lilith, Laing, and Yurick for their help. In return, the Lord of Nature used his power to purify the plague of Nurgle, but Tal's attitude was quite firm. The Lord of Nature still did not agree to personally intervene in the war of the mortal world. Tal insisted that natural selection was the survival of the fittest. The invasion of Chaos was the best screening for the mortals. Those who were strong, wise, and devout would stay and prosper again.
Only by working hard, abiding by the law, following the rules, enduring, and enduring could one defeat those competitors and gain the favor of the gods. If one could not attract the attention of the gods, it could only be said that one did not work hard enough, did not suffer enough, and did not fight enough.
Only the strong deserved to survive!
This was Tal's answer. The Lord of Nature, the Lord of Nature, expressed his willingness to recognize Frey Derick's rightful position. He had also issued an oracle and ordered all the remaining Tal believers in the old world to gather in the south. Tal even put a wisp of his divine fire into the body of the Empire's Hunter Marshal Wolfhart, promoting Wolfhart as another Tal's chosen one. He summoned the Tal's Wrath Knights and the Drakoward Knights.
As for the Lord of Nature himself, Tal said that his power had been used to save the mortal world from the suffering of Nurgle, and the power of the Lord of Nature had been used to save the old world itself.
The White Wolf God, Yurick, tried to reason with his brother, but Tal refused to accept Yurick's opinion. As for the Lady of the Lake and Laing, Tal really did not like them. The two sides were originally people of two different systems, and they did not agree with each other.
The Lord of Nature generously said that he owed them a favor, but now he could do nothing, so please go back.
"It's hard to imagine that the original Tal who fought against the invasion of Chaos, led the human god system to fight against the Four Gods of Chaos, was finally surrounded, and persisted until Asujan personally repelled the Four Gods of Chaos," Laing said to Lilith. "Does Tal not have the ability to participate in this war? No, we know very well that most of his power has been used to get rid of the plague, but he can do anything. "
"It's not that he can't do it. It's that he doesn't want to do it." Lilith also shook her head. "Once upon a time, Asuyan could personally face the Star God to protect the Eldars. The Lord of the Phoenix had an incomparably glorious past, and one of his dreams could extinguish a star. But as time passed, he became conservative and fell. To be more specific, no matter how the gods fought with the gods, neither side would truly die."
"But mortals can kill gods?" Laing recalled the words he had seen in Asuyan's Platinum Flaming Pyramid. It was very likely that Asuyan had intentionally let him see them.
"Have you seen Tal?" The Moon Goddess looked back at Tarr's divine kingdom and said coldly, "If Nurgle really had the ability to destroy Tarr, would he have dragged it out until now? Similarly, if Nurgle really had the ability to kill Tarr, would Tarr think that he was very powerful and would argue with Nurgle in his divine kingdom until he was unfortunately infected by Nurgle's plague? "
"The great game in the realm of Chaos will never end. The Four Gods of Chaos will fight until eternity. Similarly, the great game between the gods is the same as the Four Gods of Chaos. Nurgle can defeat Tarr, but the Lord of Plague can't completely kill Tarr. Tarr can, in turn, purify the Lord of Plague's influence on the old world, but he won't choose to personally fight with the minions of the Four Gods of Chaos." Lilith said seriously, "It's the same for Asuyan. They are all afraid of true death. The elven gods still have a chance to reincarnate, but the human gods are really …"
The gods have also learned to lie flat, right?
"What about you?" Laing completely understood. "Aren't you afraid?"
"I am." The Lake Fairy hugged Laing's arm tightly. "I'm really afraid, but I have you and Suria. I hate the boring reincarnation of the Battle of Heaven over and over again. I've made up my mind to do something."
"Even if it's possible to completely fall?"
"That's still better than reincarnating over and over again." Lilith smiled. "The most terrible thing is to always do the same thing but expect a different outcome. That's being an ostrich. I think this is probably the main reason why Asuyan and Tarr gradually lost their courage and fighting spirit and began to go with the flow. They are afraid of being killed by mortals. "
"Maybe, maybe not." Laing did not confirm Lilith's words, but he still expressed an optimistic attitude. "In any case, Yurick has agreed to join us."
Yes, persuading Tarr did not work. The Winter God of the Empire, Yurick, the White Wolf God of War, had made up his mind to join the Allied Army of Order. Most of Yurick's power had turned into the White Wolf Holy Fire and covered the great temple of Yurick in Mildenheim. Therefore, Yurick could not leave Mildenheim for too long. However, the Winter God of the Empire clearly told Laing and Lilith that if the time came, he would choose to descend to the mortal world, even if it meant death.
The Goddess of War was also determined. As for the other human gods, most of them were silent. The Goddess of Mercy, Shalia, said that she would continue to take care of Tarr.
"We must establish the Incarnation Council, my lady." Laing thought for a while and simply said, "The Eternal Chosen One, Eichaen's main army has at least a million people, and there will be many chaos demons continuing to participate. Our strength is not enough. We must unify all the examples of Order, and not one of the eight wind incarnations can be left out."
"Then you need to at least wait until the elves arrive in Azeroth." Lilith agreed with Laing's point of view. The Moon God said, "Malecis and the elves are already on their way. We need to wait."
"Before that, we need to rest." Lilith reached out and touched Laing's face. "Go and call Aurora and Teresa for me! I'm going to seal your backyard during the turkey banquet! "
"Ah!" Laing was a little embarrassed. "Who are you planning to seal? Other than Morgiana and the others, who else? "
"This is a secret!" The Lake Fairy laughed. "You'll know when it's over. This year's turkey banquet will be held in Nur! I'll take care of these so that you don't have to worry about anything. And you, my dear, try to become the leader of the Incarnation Council! Orica and I will be your strongest support. "
… I'm the section break for rest …
The winter of 2525 in the Empire was accompanied by two pieces of good news.
The first was that the plague that had plagued the Empire for more than three years had finally disappeared. The corruption was removed, the rivers were purified, and the waterways were once again connected. The fields were restored to life, and those who were sick had recovered.
The Empire could begin to receive material support from everywhere.
This glory was attributed to the Upgraded Emperor Karl-franz and the Sun Wang Laing Macado. A great alliance was signed in Brunswick and would soon be carried forward.
The second piece of good news came from Vaughn.
With the defeat of the Nurgle army and the disappearance of the corruption in the Empire, Charlemagne's Chosen Champion, Vaughn, successfully led an army of more than ten thousand Empire soldiers through the Tarabek Forest and came to Brunswick to meet with the Alliance of Order. This army was the ultimate army, filled with miscellaneous soldiers from all the northern provinces of the Empire, including a few Kislöw militia, and more than thirty knights from the Empire. The most numerous knights, such as the Bull Knights, had thirty to forty knights, and the two least numerous knights had only one knight left. With the last glory of the knights, they swore to make Chaos pay.
The Upgraded Emperor Karl-franz and Vaughn had a short conversation, and after many discussions with Laing, they decided to help Vaughn replenish the number of soldiers under his command to twenty thousand. The Imperial Chief Wizard, Matak, was assigned to Vaughn as an assistant, and then let them go north to support Mildenheim and the other Empire strongholds that were still resisting. Vaughn's side would temporarily go south and withdraw to Nur to regroup the army of Order.
The Alliance of Order was split into two.
After nearly a month, the Empire's Brittany army retreated to Nur, and Nur once again ushered in its heyday. Just like when Ludwig the Savior gathered the army of Order in Tarabek, Nur was now the heart of the old world. The Empire's four southern provinces, and the Brittany's troops and resources were constantly gathering from all directions.
The Crown Prince Frey Derick's wedding was also in the midst of preparations.
The Upgraded Emperor Karl-franz pondered for a long time and decided to use an ancient and sacred name to write a letter to the dwarven kingdoms to ask for help. At the same time, he remembered that there was still an army in the Empire that could be used. After many painful struggles with himself, the Upgraded Emperor Karl-franz also decided to send a messenger to Sylvania to ask Vlad to fulfill his promise.
Laing did not give up on looking for allies. Rimanrus was still uncontactable, so Laing focused all his attention on finding elven allies. The Phoenix King Malecis and the Eternal Queen Alariel were following the roots of the Oak of Ages to the old world. At the same time, Laing was also trying to contact Lucia's roots.
Everything was in the midst of intense preparations.
Winter Veil Festival 2525 of the Empire calendar. Nur City, Wealthy District, Allied Army Base Camp.
Several commanders of the Allied Army of Order were sitting together and talking. The leader of the Empire's side was the Upgraded Emperor Karl-franz, the two Kurfürst Marius and Haute Anderson, the Crown Prince Frey Derick, Marshal Rudolph Rick, the Great Alchemist Galt who had just arrived, and more than twenty other people.
On the Brittany's side was the Knight King, Laing, Berchemund, François, Kalad, Raymond, Diego, Devonshire, and more than ten other people.
On the Kislöw's side was the Bagramyan General and Zhukev General.
For some reason, Suria, Emilia, Morgiana, Veronica, and the others were not there.
"Everyone, it's fortunate that we managed to survive this war. At the very least, we weren't defeated by the elite army of Nurgle and the vanguard army of the eternal God's Chosen Eichane. The defense of Brunswick was victorious, even though that place has already turned into ruins." Laing sat on one side of the conference hall. Behind him hung the Brittany Golden Lion Iris Flower flag. Gray Knight Grand Mentor Diego stood behind him. The pressure of the two demigods forced the Empire to let Laing preside over the meeting.
Laing's words had some cold humor. A few people on the Empire's side couldn't help but frown, but they couldn't refute. The waterway of the Empire's main artery was opened, and food from Brittany was being transported in an endless stream, alleviating the food shortage of the Empire. The Brittany knights' support in the Battle of Brunswick made the people of the Empire very grateful. At this time, no one in the Empire dared to question Laing's authority. Even the Upgraded Karl-franz chose to give in.
"And unfortunately, with an invasion of this scale, if Eichahn wants, he can do it twice more." Laing continued with a smile. He took out his baton and pointed it on the map. "When the time comes, we will end up as history."
"Now, let's express our opinions and discuss what we should do next."
The Grand Duke of Ivy, Kurfürst Marius, was the first to jump out. "I believe that we should take advantage of Chaos' recent defeat and weakness to launch an all-out attack. We should head north to Middenheim to rendezvous with Boris and Volten. Then, we can strike the Wasteland of Chaos and defeat Eichaen! Take back our home! "
Laing: "…"
The Upgraded Karl-franz: "…"
The commanders of the Empire and Brittany: "…"
The awkward atmosphere lasted for a while. Everyone ignored Marius's opinion. The father-in-law François saw the situation and put forward his own idea. "For now, we can't see the hope of eliminating Chaos in one go. We should build a solid defense line along the Ricker River and the Ivy River. Gayter has the experience of building the Golden Fortress. At least we have to consolidate the current position in the south and think about other things."
Build a new Golden Fortress? Everyone in the conference hall thought about François's proposal.
The generals, knights, and nobles of the northern Empire strongly opposed it. The Brittany generally agreed, while the southern Empire representatives chose to remain silent.
"That's waiting for death. Are we going to watch the Army of Chaos plough our land over and over again until it becomes a piece of rotten land where birds don't even shit and chickens don't lay eggs?" In the northern Empire, the Grand Commander of the Knights of Eternal Light said angrily. He questioned everyone present. "Do you want to be content with your territory, or do you want to truly defeat Chaos? Reclaim our land? "
The people of the Empire did not speak, because the northern expedition was absolutely politically correct.
Just like that, the entire military conference fell into a dispute.
François's proposal of first consolidating the territory under his control was rejected by the Empire. Galt also made it clear that there was no way to build another Golden Fortress, because there were not enough battle priests, battle mages, and materials to prepare.
Upgraded Karl-franz and Galt's proposal of the main force moving east to connect Steyr territory and the Ridge of the World to the dwarves to seek help from them was unanimously rejected by the Brittany. The knights and nobles were not good at fighting in the mountains, and the overly long march, the long supply line, and the possibility of a fierce battle along the way were all not what they wanted. Berchemund and the others believed that they should not waste their precious time and precious troops on seeking help from the dwarves. Who knew how many dwarves were still resisting? How long would it take to pass through so many fallen areas?
Devonshire proposed the plan of besieging Mildenheim, hoping to use Mildenheim as bait and then attack from the inside and outside, but this plan was unanimously rejected by the southern nobles of the Empire. They believed that this method was adding fuel to the fire, and it was too risky to guarantee success. The Battle of Brunswick was also close to such a situation, but how many troops were lost in the end?
The military conference was unable to come up with an effective plan, and Laing and Karl-franz were also having a headache about it. The two human leaders discussed in private.
They did not have enough troops, and after the Battle of Brunswick, they had lost a large number of elite troops and outstanding high-ranking officers, and the quality of their troops was also worrying. As the two who truly understood the strength of Eichaen, they knew that it was not possible to defeat the main force of the eternal God's Chosen Ones with only their own strength.
They must gather all eight Wind Incarnations! Only by forming the Incarnation Council and gathering all the forces of Order might they have a chance to fight against Eichaen.
At this point, Laing and the upgraded Karl tacitly changed the topic.
If they were to form the Incarnation Council, it meant that there would be a leader.
Then, who would this leader be?
The human alliance's leader had not been decided yet, but in the Kurfürst's palace, a heated internal small banquet was about to be held, and there was a very clear leader.
The Moon God, the Lake Fairy, the Misty Lady Lilith, and the Knight King's Queen Suria were going to hold the most important Turkey Banquet in history in the Kurfürst's palace, and every member had received an "invitation" that they had to attend.
The Lake Fairy announced that she would reward all the members of Laing's harem during the Turkey Banquet.
