A minister in a dark gray military uniform walked quickly into the palace.

He ignored Oscar, but walked straight to the emperor, and reported with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the latest military report from the front line, the people of the Sika Kingdom have broken through from the location of the Bloodstone Mountain in the northern section of the border defense line, and have invaded our territory on a large scale. ”

"Bloodstone Mountain?" the emperor's eyebrows moved, and he asked, "The terrain there is not very dangerous, it is basically impossible for a large army to attack, and there are many heavy ordnance, wizards don't dare to take risks, plus there are elite troops stationed there, how can it be suddenly broken through?"

"According to the military newspapers, as well as the reports of the defeated soldiers, the enemy suddenly appeared from behind and attacked. I guess that the people of the Sika Kingdom should have dug tunnels and used them to carry out sneak attacks and follow-up troop transportation. ”

"Excavated the tunnel?" the emperor's eyes narrowed, "In the Bloodstone Mountain, digging the tunnel is not a simple matter, and it is definitely not a successful excavation in a short period of time."

If the other side really excavated tunnels and invaded in, it can only be said that the other side has been preparing for a long time and has planned a long time ago, and it seems that the other side is not willing to accept the form of our two countries on the border. ”

After a pause, the emperor looked at the minister in military uniform and asked, "Where are the strikers of the Sika Kingdom now?"

The minister in military uniform took out a miniature map from his sleeve, opened it and pointed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the most prominent team of cavalry of the Sika Kingdom has conquered the city of Qatar and is burning and looting. They released the city's death row inmates as guides, and are expanding in three directions: north, east, and west, in an attempt to create even more chaos. We've sent troops to stop it, but tens of thousands of people are expected to be killed before we arrive. ”

"Tens of thousands of people in Qatar City?" the Emperor pondered for a few seconds and asked, "I remember that there is a large granary of the Alliance there, and I just sent Count Norton to inspect it not long ago, is there any news?"

The minister in military uniform hesitated for a moment, then replied: "The Sika people have plundered the granary, and they have taken everything they can take, and they have burned the rest. As for the Earl of Norton...... They hung the count's head on the head of the city......"

When he heard these words, Oscar's face changed slightly, and he was a little shocked. As far as he knew, although the battles between nations were cruel, they rarely chose to execute nobles, and they used such tyrannical means.

On the one hand, the capture of the nobles can be exchanged for a large amount of ransom, on the other hand, the nobles represent the face of the country, once executed, it is absolutely a complete grudge, unless the two countries are ready to fight endlessly, otherwise there is no benefit. After all, today you can execute my nobles, and tomorrow I can execute yours too.

Oscar turned his head slightly, observed the emperor's expression, and found that the emperor did not have much mood swings, as if he had accepted this.

The emperor spoke up and muttered: "Have you cut off the head of Earl Norton, it's really ruthless, it seems that the other party doesn't want to make a small fight this time, but is preparing for a national war." Therefore, they know that they can't hold our counterattack, and the grain in the granary of Qatar City will be burned rather than left to us if they can't move it, in order to weaken us by all means. This is a national war, a national war!"

"Your Majesty, then ...... we" Oscar asked in a low voice.

"What we do is very simple, don't the Sika people want war, we will give it to him. We have also been ready for a long time, they don't do it, we will do it sooner or later, but we didn't expect it to be so soon. The emperor spoke majestically and said word by word, "The Soma Alliance, which is founded by war, has never been afraid of war. The Soma Alliance, there is no blood left, and there is no truce to the death! If they want to fight, then they will fight!"

"Yes. Oscar and the minister in military uniform, bowed their heads and said.

"That's right. In the end, the emperor thought of something again, turned his head to look at Oscar, and said, "It's time to invite your young friend to appear, this war ...... Can't live without him...... He has a great place in our program......"

"Understood. Oscar nodded in reply and walked out of the palace quickly.

......

At midnight.

Char, the luxurious courtyard where Richard temporarily lived, the study on the second floor.

Under normal circumstances, at this time, most people have already fallen asleep, but Richard is not, and is still studying some materials in his study.

Four days have passed since he met with the Emperor of the Alliance, and during this time, he has been studying the information in Bibi's mouth and the information obtained from Oscar, and he has achieved some results.

The first result is that Baltavin's cracking progress has been improved, and on the other hand, from the scrolls in the Royal Library, he has found a very special way to release wind spells.

If this release method can be completely cracked, it can greatly speed up his research on the transcendent factor of wind energy.

You must know that since the research on the blood energy transcendent factor has come to a standstill, in addition to the breakthrough of the energy furnace, this is a rare and significant progress.

He now had a vague idea that if all went well in the research of the Wind Transcendent Factor, a combination of the Energy Furnace and the study of the Blood Transcendent Factor might make something very interesting.

Of course, the idea is only preliminary after all, and it is still necessary to see how it can be developed to that point.

"Boom......" Richard sat on his desk and flipped through the pages, reading the contents and thinking about what to do next.

Maybe you have to design a few experiments, maybe you have to ......

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of "rustling" from inside a wooden box on the desk, which disrupted his train of thought.

Frowning slightly, Richard opened the box, and saw Bibi face up, with sawdust at the corner of her mouth, which was the result of gnawing on the wooden box.

"What for?" asked Richard, a little angrily reprimanded, "Didn't you say you wouldn't make trouble, that's why I removed the cloth that stuffed your mouth." If you don't obey, I'll stuff it back again. ”

"Don't, don't. Bibi hurriedly said, "I'm just a little bored, I want to ask you, has the information I provided to you been verified? If it is verified, will it prove that I have really betrayed the truth, and can you let me go out to play?"

"What's the hurry, there is no news yet, at least it means that there should be no major problems with the intelligence. But the specific situation will have to wait a little longer. ”

"How long will we have to wait?"

"I don't know. ”

"I'm suffocated. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Can you give me something to eat?" Bibi asked aggrievedly, "I can't do anything else but eat now, after all, I only have one head." ”
