After the news of the fall of Morondo reached the imperial capital, it immediately set off a storm at the top level, and the emperor who liked to fight in the north also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately retreated into the northern defense, and recalled several well-known generals to urgently return to the meeting!

At this time, in the imperial hall of the imperial capital, the leaders of the major northern military high-ranking and mage families gathered together!

The buildings in the north are not as delicate as those in the south, and the workmanship is majestic, and the beauty of simplicity is more admired, but the scale of the hall is much larger than that of the noble garden hall in the southern provinces.

On a white jade conference table more than 20 meters long, this emperor: Jiawen. Augustus is dressed in mighty black armor and is sitting at the head of the conference table!

With a height of nearly two meters, he completely supported the majesty of this armor, and his expression under the crown was serious, and he looked full of oppression!

The atmosphere around is also very dignified.

The conference table is still in the style of the Empire, with the generals sitting in the left row, and the archmage of the family and the important ministers of the Imperial Cabinet sitting in the right row!

Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have been light, even in this prosperous empire that is united with the outside world, most of the generals are not used to those pure politicians and mages, and the civil ministers are naturally not used to the rude reckless man, in comparison, they are more willing to deal with the elegant masters, which is not only the civil and military confrontation, but also the factional problems left over from the old and new forces of the empire.

The king expanded his territory and built the city by relying on the family's loyal knights and local generals, while the new mage nouveau riche who was able to gain a foothold was won over by promising a lot of benefits.

This newcomer and the old subordinates who have made great contributions in the past have formed two-for-tat forces, which have lasted for hundreds of years, and have formed the current political situation with an obvious civil and military pattern.

In previous meetings, the two sides would quarrel before things were discussed, but this time, the atmosphere was extraordinarily harmonious, and both sides listened to each other's views on the situation.

Because everyone knows the seriousness of this incident, there is no room for them to intrigue with each other.

For the generals, the south has been opened, in order to recapture Morondo, the northern front must be tightened, the walls are cleared, and the turtles are shrinking, if the orcs in the north and south cooperate with each other, they will also launch large-scale attacks, which can be said to be very great pressure on them!

But even so, the recapture of Southern Morundo is still imperative!

The terrain of Morondo is unique, due to the male pass, almost completely blocking the possibility of orcs entering human territory, from the Morondo Mountains all the way to the north, fertile fields for thousands of miles, almost every ten miles is a grain town, is the most stable food input channel in the entire empire, and it is also the logistics support for northern warriors to fight with confidence!

Once Morondo falls, if the terrain is like that of the north, the orcs can come in and harass at any time, with the weak style that the south has formed for many years, it will be difficult to organize effective forces to resist, and it will greatly reduce the production of food, which will have a great impact on the military situation in the north!

For the mages of the major families, once the southern gap is opened, the prosperous trade road of the Imperial Avenue will also be greatly affected, most of the mage families have ties with the families in the Western Islands before, relying on the local products of the empire to sell goods from the south to the north, earning huge profits, which once the security of the Imperial Avenue is threatened, it will also have a huge impact on their interests.

For the first time in 700 years, the two sides reached an almost instantaneous agreement without any negotiation and compromise: that is, Morondo must be taken back!!

"What is the strength of the beasts, how many tribes are involved in this operation this time, is there any definite information?" Emperor Jiawen said with a gloomy face.

The subordinates rolled their eyes when they heard this, such a sudden attack, without the assistance of magic, all relied on the dictation of those knights who fled back, where did they get any accurate information?

After being silent for a while, the old knight wearing the honorary military medal on the left said in a deep voice: "According to the oral account of the knight who escaped back, the orcs attacked at night without the slightest warning this time, and when most of the knights reacted, the wall of Morondo had already fallen, and most of the knights were in chaos. ”

Jiawen's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he said secretly: It's been too long since the south lived comfortably!

That so-called energy storm made the arcane enchantment invalid, and the old duke of Morondo should be alert, after all, the old Duke Roosevelt was a retired veteran general with great military achievements in the north, and such a defenseless fall was obviously because his subordinates were too war-conscious....

But think about it, since seven hundred years ago, the five major tribes in the south joined forces to attack Morondo and failed and suffered heavy losses, in seven hundred years, no orcs have organized an attack on Morondo, hundreds of years of peace, it is strange to have a sense of war....

"But I think the Orcs shouldn't have many troops in this invasion!" The old duke, who had just spoken, said in a deep voice.

"How?" The emperor's eyes lit up.

"This energy storm is obviously an accident, if the orcs have mastered this kind of thing, this attack will not be just a Morundo, if the orcs have enough troops this time, the news of the urgency and even the fall of Kodoville should have come a long time ago!"

"Makes sense..... the emperor nodded slowly.

"Who could that be?" The archmage sitting at the head on the right wondered, "Judging from the intelligence, Morondo was attacked the night after this energy storm occurred, who organized this invasion so decisively?" ”

"Who else could it be?" Jiawen smiled coldly: "Naturally, it's our wolf child chieftain....."

Everyone nodded one after another, in the southern tribe, I am afraid that he is the only one who can have this courage.

"Then, according to your reasoning, if we organize a wave of fast-paced vanguard troops now, will we have a chance to get the city back quickly?" Gavin asked.

The old duke shook his head when he heard this: "The possibility is too small, for so many years, we have relied too much on magic communication, and the south no longer has the habit of raising carrier pigeons, but the orcs have the means to raise birds to transmit messages, they have captured Morondo, so they will naturally send a message to ask for backup, and we have only received the news for so long, and when the organization forces have passed, most of the support from the orcs has arrived..."

"That is, .... Still do you still want to fight the five major tribes in the south head-on? Gavin's face became more and more ugly.

"It's hard to say..... old duke shook his head and said, "Anyway, the Thunder Clan and the Blackwater Clan will definitely not give up this opportunity, as for whether the more peace-loving Earth Clan and the sparsely populated Fire Clan can be persuaded to join the war, it depends on the diplomatic ability of our wolf child chief..."

"I remember..... Hottel, that guy..."The king said gloomily, "I have a friendship with the elders of the Fire Clan. ”

"So the situation is not optimistic this time...."The old duke said solemnly: "If the Fire Clan participates in the war, our side must increase the high-end combat power, and it is estimated that at least ten or more Golden Knights will be needed!" ”

The king of the "Ten ......" became a little embarrassed, ten golden knights, almost half of the high-end combat power of the north, once transferred, the high-end combat power of the northern part of the country shrank by half, in case this time it is a combination of the north and the south, whether the northern side can hold it is really a problem!

"The king doesn't have to worry too much..... the old duke said with a smile: "The requisition of the golden knight is to ensure the safety of the accompanying archmage, this battle will not be a protracted battle, after all, the wall of the inner wall of the empire is far inferior to the outer wall, and it is impossible to withstand the magic attack of the archmage, as for the northern side, our Gangwu Empire has stood for so many years, relying on the strong city walls and arcane weapons, as long as the number of mages is enough, self-protection is not a problem..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the mages on the right looked much better, and when they heard the other party say that the south relied too much on magical communication just now, their faces were gloomy when they heard it, and now they nodded secretly: This old duke can speak, no wonder in the north he can make both forces obey his command.

He is worthy of being the generalissimo of the elders of the three dynasties.....

Looking at the people who nodded in agreement with him, although the old duke's face remained confident, he secretly sighed in his heart: There is no successor to the empire!

Including the kings of this generation, the old duke is actually not very optimistic about him, Jiawen seems to be martial, but in fact his qualifications are mediocre, and he is not as military as he thinks.

In comparison, the beast chieftain who could decisively lead the tribe to attack Morondo made him extremely vigilant, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: How good it would be if there was such a character in my Gangwu Empire.....
