The charcoal was burning, the brazier was sizzling, and at midnight, the northern royal court was still brightly lit, and the clan lords spontaneously gathered to discuss with each other, keeping a close eye on the Empire's military operations in the middle of the night tonight.

"I don't understand why it's McNee, he's only been with us for a short time, and if this operation is as important as you say, the Emperor should send someone more trustworthy."

Gal rubbed his head and muttered.

"What, do you think you can do better?" Hogg gritted his teeth and asked, they were the first family to follow the Black Emperor, and after so many years of getting along, the gnoll leader and the orc leader were already quite familiar.

"Not really."

The orc chief waved his hand: "I'm just a little skeptical of McNee's loyalty, besides, although that dwarf is good at fighting, he is not necessarily good at fighting, and the royal court obviously has a more suitable candidate in this regard." ”

As he spoke, the orc snorted into the corner.

Garon also came, entrenched in the corner, the skin on his brow bone furrowed deeply, his eyes glazed and empty, apparently in some kind of thought, of all the royal lords, only the command of the Prince of Poison Fire could have been confirmed, and he had led his army to open up and occupy the New World of Vylloster.

When Emperor Caesar fell asleep, it was also the Prince of Poison Fire who turned the tide and single-handedly reversed the Blackwing Empire's foreign war plan.

Although there were many people who complained about Garon at that time, as time went by, people gradually realized that the Prince of Poison Fire was right, and the Black Emperor also publicly showed his attention and appreciation for him, and a series of events superimposed on Garon's status in the royal court increased rapidly.

"Your Royal Highness."

Hogg walked over, and to be honest, he was also puzzled, a little confused about Caesar's thoughts, "Do you think the Emperor sent McNee to the central part of the country with any deeper intentions?" After all, in our opinion, you are the best person to command this operation. ”

"Hmm......"

Garon came back from his daze, thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe Ortorenzo has more confidence in the dwarves, or maybe I have something else to do in his plan." ”

"Hey, if you really talk about war, in my mind, no one can compare to the Great Emperor."

Gar snorted twice, chattering beside him and interjecting, "When the old chief was still there, the Stone Crow Clan, which only had a few hundred people, was surrounded by humans, and the Great Emperor was ......"

In the middle of his sentence, he stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, and he walked quickly to the huge conference table in the center of the royal court.

Garon saw that all the lords were leaning there, so he also leaned in to glance at it, and found that a suspended crystal on the table was shining with a emblem light, he was very familiar with this crystal, when the magic suppression of the Celeste continent was lifted, he used this crystal to communicate with the royal court remotely, and always exchange information.

This is a crystal teleportation from the middle of the country.

Soon, the expressions of the lords of the royal court became grim, and for a while, the huge northern royal court was a little noisy, and the news conveyed by the crystal caused heated discussions.

It just so happened that Caesar was yawning at this time, wagging his tail and walking in slowly, he had just lulled Luna to sleep, and estimated that the empire's military operations in the central part of the country probably had a preliminary report, so he took Odin, who was clinging to himself, and came to the royal court to see the results.

I didn't expect to see the heated discussion among the lords of the royal court as soon as I came.

Since the Great Emperor and His Royal Highness Odin, all the clan leaders were immediately silenced, and Caesar looked at the appearance of these guys, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, licked his lips and asked casually: "Is the central part going well?" ”

"Your Majesty, our military operations have been hampered." Hogg was the first to report: "McNee is sending a message to the royal court for reinforcements. ”

"Still want reinforcements?"

The black dragon muttered, and before he could make a move, Odin had already crowded into the royal lord and showed him the communication crystal.

"The first phase of the plan has been completed, and we have successfully established ourselves in the northern part of the Trade Federation, capturing fourteen military camps and constructing six magic arrays that can carry out large-scale long-distance teleportation."

"In order to accomplish this goal, I lost more than sixty percent of my troops, and the camp was filled with seriously wounded and dead soldiers, after which I launched a tentative attack on the nearest city of Mien, but to no avail."

"The strength of the local garrison is stronger than I imagined, and with the army I have at my disposal, it can neither resist the upcoming counterattack nor carry out the next phase of the rescue and occupation operation, so I have specially summoned the royal court to hope that the empire can provide more support."

…… This was followed by McNee's detailed progress report, the difficulties faced by the local Blackwing army, the need for troops, and his personal outlook for the future of the war.

Seeing that the Black Emperor fell into deep thought after reading the report, the lords of the royal court couldn't sit still and stood up one after another to express their opinions.

"Our armies have always been invincible in Eladia, as even the bards know well, but the dwarves cannot bring us victory in a local war with an army of this size."

Tia, the leader of the Radiant Dragon, said, "Your Majesty, I dare not question your decision, but it turns out that McNee lacks the ability to orchestrate a war. ”

"I don't trust him." Gal muttered, "I suspect McNee did it on purpose." ”

The clan leader's words pulled Caesar back from his thoughts, and the black dragon looked around and raised his chin to the other dragon in the corner, "What do you think?" ”

Garon looked left and right, and found that it was him, and Caesar asked him to answer the question by name, so he pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "Ortorenzo, is it possible that our judgment was wrong?" ”

"Go on."

"Before McNee's expedition, I had discussed the battle plan with him in detail, and his strategy was not wrong, and now the operation report submitted shows that he did not make any major mistakes, everything went according to plan, and the result was not satisfactory."

"Is it possible that the problem is not McNee, it's us. We misjudged the strength of the enemy, not that McNee's army was too weak, but that his opponent was too strong. ”

Normally, Garon's words would have drawn angry glances from the other court lords, but now that he has proven his abilities, this guy has a very different mindset from other lords, and can often spot some important points that are easy to overlook.

"Because of the defense against foreign enemies, the empire invests more energy in the central part than other main cities, and has a complete early warning and defense system. Clan leaders here, most of you are legends, and who of you has the confidence to complete the capture and capture of the trade city-state overnight. ”

Garon looked around, but received no response, only the muffled gasps of the royal lords.

"But our enemy did, and it was an army that was incredibly strong, and that's what McNee is up against."

"There is no reason for the sun to withdraw this force and return the central part to us, because once the central part is back in the control of the Empire, and the Riverlands are lost, the Blackwing Clan will be able to drive straight into the south - no one wants to see war break out on their own soil, it will be a disaster."

Hogg frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Royal Highness, do you mean that this local war in which the two sides came into contact for the first time is actually the final decisive battle between us and the empire on which the sun never sets?" ”

"It's not a decisive battle, but it's also a very important war, and it's a pretty difficult one." Garon sighed and whispered, "That's why I said that ahead, it could be an abyss hell. ”

"Nope." Caesar smiled at him, "For the empire on which the sun never sets, we are the abyss hell. ”

"The soldiers on the front line are bleeding, it is imperative to ensure that medical and logistical supplies are in place in time, Hogg, let the Orc 3rd Infantry Regiment, Centaur Legion, Fourth Panzer Legion, and Special Response Force go to the center for reinforcements."

After saying it all in one breath, the black dragon thought about it and felt that he might not be able to win this war with these alone, so he turned his neck and said in a soft rather than majestic tone: "Odin, my daughter ......"
