"Truce."

Hathaway looked at the huge sand table on the command car, and the expression on her face was full of confusion.

In fact, her intelligence system had sensed that the orc army had transferred some of the elite back from the front. However, it would be naïve for those people to want to cause her trouble. The first object to be eliminated in her plan was not the Orc defenders of Zimbuwe, after all, those orcs seemed to be defended by walls, but they were actually no different from a giant target. Whenever she has the chance, she can tear this target to shreds at any time...... The real target is the Orc Fox High Priest, who is one of the giants in the Orc Empire's War God Temple, and once he can be beheaded, it will definitely make the morale of the Orc army plummet.

However, now this qiē plan has been ruined by the war waged by the underground race.

On November 23, 910 in the Green Leaf Calendar, the underground races attacked from dozens of exits at the same time, waging war against the surface races.

Beacons are blazing, alarms are ringing, and the battles between races and nations in the region have subsided - this is the iron law of the Titan world. When a war breaks out between the underground race and the surface race, a form of infighting must stop, and violators will be attacked by the surface race.

Therefore, when the alarm broke, the war between the Orc Empire and the Otiga Empire ended immediately, and although the two sides did not withdraw their troops, they ceased to act hostilly...... On this point, the two sides are very much in agreement.

"My lord, according to the usual rules, the lord must not give up his fief in war, otherwise he will be judged as a betrayal of the entire surface race."

Barthes. Willy's face was a little heavy, "We should go back." ”

"Withdraw immediately."

Hathaway made a decision with a calm face, "I'll return to the Cordillera Territory with the Special Operations Team and the Flying Squadron first. Barth, you lead the city defense army to withdraw from the waterway, Lanques City only needs to leave the people to maintain law and order, and you must appease the people as much as possible, reduce the entry tax and everything, give full play to the advantages of the waterside city, and restore the trade ...... as much as possible."

After the truce with the Orc Empire, the safety of Lancaith City is temporarily safe, and there is no exit from the dark region around it, so the war will not affect it for a while, if it can be arranged properly, I believe it will become a trading port that will be of great benefit to the economic development of the Cordillera Territory.

With everything in order, Hathaway led the Flying Squadron and Special Operations Battalion back to Cordillera Territory.

……

The early morning sun poured into the streets of Mandi Gaza City, and the bright yellow glazed tiles on the roof of the natural church emitted a purple gold glow. So everyone who passes by this building will look respectful, but Hathaway can't respect it...... If it were possible, she even wanted to expel the Church of Nature.

"Go knock on the door, I'm going to visit Cardinal Ulliman." Hathaway commanded, and a guard knocked on the door.

Whether in the Cordillera Territory or in the entire Titan world, the Church of Nature is second to none and the main force of the battle between the surface races and the underground races, at this time, of course, Hathaway needs to obtain an understanding with the Church of Nature in order to cooperate in future wars - thankfully, perhaps because the Cordillera Territory is too remote, although the entrance to the Dark Regions has underground race activity, there has not yet been a large-scale invasion.

The door opened, and Hathaway saw an acquaintance, Paladin Carry. Sandos. After being questioned in Heidelberg, Carey. Santos returned to the Cordillera with a team of Templars and a group of priests. But after the Church of Nature planted a church in the Cordillera, Carey. Sandos and the knights returned to the Church, and the priests were divided into small groups and scattered into the city defense army, and the priests also played a great role in the Northwest Raid.

"Long time no see, Lord Santos."

Hathaway nodded to the paladin in a friendly manner, then turned back to the guards and said, "You guys are waiting for me here." ”

"My lord, please go this way." Carey. Sandos said, "Lord Ulliman is taking care of something, please don't be surprised. ”

"Where, I came abruptly." Hathaway smiled faintly, disapproving.

Carey. Sandos took Hathaway to a room and politely asked her to rest for a while before going out to report to Ulliman.

After the paladin left, Hathaway looked around the room...... It looks like this should be a lounge, the environment is quite good, there is a dark green carpet on the ground, soft to step on, there are two single sofas against the wall, it seems to be produced by the Cordillera Collar Furniture Factory, I don't know if there is something like fragrance in the air, and it smells of a faint floral fragrance. On the opposite side of the sofa, there is also a floor-to-ceiling bookcase with a lot of books. And in the middle of the room, there is also a table with a tea set and a steaming kettle, and two chairs next to it.

Hathaway walked over and poured a glass of water, then sat down on the couch and drank it slowly.

……

Carey. Sandos stood outside the bishop's office, quietly waiting for the call. He knew that Lord Ulliman was talking to someone, and he was not allowed to disturb, otherwise he would not have let the Lord wait there.

Fortunately, Ulliman didn't wait long, about half a magician or so, the door opened, and a man covered in a black cloak walked out, he didn't look at Carey. Sandos glanced at it and walked away.

"Carey, is His Excellency Marquis Bell here?" The warm voice of Cardinal Ulliman could be heard in the room.

"Yes, sir." Carey. Santos came inside.

Ulliman rubbed his brows and pondered for a while before he said slowly, "Please come over Marquis Bell." ”

"Yes." The paladin, who received the order, hurriedly withdrew, and his heavy footsteps gradually faded away.

Cardinal Ulliman shrugged his shoulders at this voice. He's used to it, who calls the knights of the world like to wear armor all the time? Of course, the footsteps were heavy.

In the lounge, Hathaway sat in a chair and curiously flipped through a manuscript of Nature and Man. She had thought it was a theological book, but after reading a dozen pages, Hathaway suspected that the guy who wrote it was a green environmentalist.

The content of the book is still very interesting, explaining the gift of nature to human beings, and also describing the disasters that can be brought about by the destruction of nature, and how human beings should love and use nature...... It's a very good book, a pseudo-theology, and Hathaway reads it with relish.

It's the end of November, and although the weather is getting colder, the temperature in the room is still quite suitable, and the warm sunlight is shining into the room, which would make people a little drowsy in normal times, but now, it can only make people feel very comfortable. If it weren't for the current situation, Hathaway would have almost studied the contents carefully, and the contents were interesting.

But at this moment, the door opened, waking Hathaway awake, and she immediately put down the book and glanced at the visitor, sure enough, it was the paladin who had just left.

"Your Excellency, Cardinal Ulliman wants to see you, please come with me." The paladin, who received the order, conveyed the order to Hathaway.

Hathaway felt a little uneasy when she heard that she was going to see the cardinal, but on the surface, she was very calm, tidied up her clothes a little, and then, following the paladin, walked outside.

The church was quiet, except for the clanging of the knight's armor beside him. For the rest, there is only the footsteps of two people, no matter who they are, on this level, they are all lightly touched.

Soon, after passing through a hallway, Hathaway was taken to the door of a room. After a slight pause, the paladin went in to make an announcement, and soon he came out again, saying, "Go in!" ”

Murong Xianxian calmed down, and then walked into this room, this room, it looks more like a hall, it is very elegantly repaired, whether it is the carved decoration on the walls or the selection of materials for the floor and ceiling, it reveals a natural beauty from the inside out.

There was a very good red blanket on the floor. On one side of the wall is a bookshelf, on which there are a lot of books, and on one side of the floor-to-ceiling window, an old man in a red bishop's costume is still working.

Hathaway knew that this person must be Bishop Ulliman, so he stopped some distance from the other party, and then saluted and said, "Master Bishop Ulliman." ”

"Your Excellency Marquis, please be seated." Cardinal Ulliman then looked up and pointed to a couch next to him with a smile on his face.

Hathaway nodded and sat down directly on the couch.

"Your Excellency Marquis, the war between the underground race and the surface race has begun, what does Your Excellency plan?" Cardinal Ulliman, taking a sip of tea, asked nonchalantly.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to bury the earth, what is there to plan?" Hathaway smiled faintly.

Ulliman looked at the young lord in front of him, and for the first time had the idea of beating someone up. He barely kept the water still, and said in a deep voice, "Although there has not yet been a large-scale invasion of the entrance to the dark region of the Cordillera Territory, it is only a matter of geography. Once the movement of the armies of those underground races is in place, war is inevitable for sure. ”

He stared into Hathaway's eyes: "Is it true that Your Excellency has no plans?" ”

"Lord Ulliman, we might as well be honest."

Hathaway also sternly said: "I have already ordered people to build a fortress near the exit of the dark region, with heavy troops, and send people to reconnoiter the situation there. Nearby farmsteads are also ready to move at any time. What I want to know is, how much can the natural church help us? What kind of help? ”R1152
