"Nices has fallen." Hogg whispered.

In the northern royal court of the Black Wing Empire, almost all the royal lords stood in the hall, their fierce and hideous faces were illuminated by the jumping candles, and at the top of the royal court, the huge black dragon was entrenched and bowed.

"The situation is not optimistic, and until now, there has been no news from Nice." Hogg continued, "We can only gather information from neighboring city-states, but other city-states are also under onslaught. ”

"I can't say that there is no news, when Nice was attacked, the local undead gave me some warnings." The Lich Wren added, "We don't have a lot of undead deployed in the center, and if they all are activated, they can set off a plague of death. But in front of the enemy, they were extinguished before they could say hello. ”

As he spoke, Wren displayed the only video in the hall, and the other party looked like just ordinary human soldiers, wearing standard armor that covered their faces, and interrupted the video transmission as soon as he drew his sword.

"The empire lost its seaport." Caesar looked around at the royal lords, "It was our most important strategic fortress in the south. ”

"We've never had a time like this when we're stationed in the Middle, and it's a dereliction of duty on the part of the Beholder!" Nero agreed, and Gal agreed, and the orc lord stood by and nodded.

"Now is not the time to pass the buck."

The black dragon glanced at Nero: "The priority is to solve the problem at hand, there is no doubt that the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is the one behind this attack - the war has come, in a way that we did not expect." ”

"Orcs can go to war at any time." Gal was the first to respond, "We're going to tear the mouths of those Southerners." ”

"It really should be fought back."

The black dragon grinned and showed its hideous teeth, raised his eyes to look out of the royal court, his gaze was slightly distant, "Strictly guard the intelligence, attack the airport like lightning, and clean up all the teleportation nodes as fast as possible...... Such an army is definitely capable of sweeping the entire central part and forcing the Corgi to abandon the trade city-state and choose to evacuate. ”

"But instead of doing so, they chose to launch seemingly fierce but in fact non-lethal attacks on other city-states after taking Niceus."

Garon, who had been curled up in the corner without making a sound, whispered silently, adding that the black dragon had not continued, "The other party did not even block the flow of news, and let the garrison ask for help from the royal court. ”

"Why?" Caesar looked at his brother.

Garon thought for a moment, then exclaimed, "This is a trap!" ”

"The other party has a great appetite, they are still not satisfied after clearing the harbor, attacking other city-states is just a pretense, in fact, it is just forcing the garrison to ask for help from the royal court, and their target is the reinforcements sent by the royal court to the center!"

Garon said to the black dragon on the throne in a earnest tone: "Ortorenzo, Nice has fallen, and in the absence of other resources in the middle that must be fought for, we can abandon the trade city-states, and there is no need to take unnecessary risks." ”

"Are you crazy? We have invested so much effort in the central part of the country, without considering other values, and the population of the central part alone is a considerable amount of wealth, and we will give up if we say give up? ”

The Prince of Poisonfire's words drew angry glances from the other royal lords, and this time even Hogg stood against him.

Except for Caesar, Garon did not have such a good attitude towards the others, and the dragon with dark gray scales stood up, revealing a craggy body of twenty meters, and looked down at the lord who opposed him: "Stupid fellow, that is not wealth, but bait for fishing, and eagerly biting the hook will only bring you to your own destruction." ”

"The words of the weak."

Nero replied unceremoniously, the dog demon had even trampled Garon and Blackthea under his feet when he first met, so he was not at all afraid of the current power of the Prince of Poisonous Fire, and he glared at Garon: "Only as a fish will you consider the bait on the hook, and the lion will only swallow all the hunters who try to capture it." ”

"It seems that the cultural popularization of the royal court was done well when I was asleep, and your level of metaphor has improved a lot."

The black dragon raised his claws and lowered them, and the shock caused the royal court to calm down, he pondered for a while, and said, "This is indeed a trap, the fall of Nisdu is only a façade, I am afraid that the entire central part has now fallen under the control of the other party." ”

"Blind rescue will only bury our troops in vain."

The emperor's affirmation calmed Garon's mood a lot, and he nodded in agreement, clarifying his thoughts more and more: "It is wise to reduce losses as much as possible, and we should gather information and hoard troops for now......"

He was interrupted by Caesar before he could finish his sentence, "But there are many things that are hard to part with, the Blackwing garrison, the Third Fleet, the big-eyed corgi, and the students, faculty, officials, merchants, and workers of the Imperial Academy...... We can't just abandon the Central. ”

"Ortorenzo......" Garon was stunned for a moment, and said in a heart-wrenching tone, "There is an abyss and hell ahead. ”

"My simple brother, it is true that we should be cautious and step by step in war, but we should not recklessly choose to give up, make concessions and compromise because of the immediate gains and losses. Your eyes should be looking farther. ”

The black dragon motioned for Garon to step forward and patted him lightly on the back: "You go back and think about this matter, and tell me why you did this in two days." ”

In fact, Caesar is not willing to take a huge risk to save the central part of the country, but now that his daughter is about to become a god, the rescue operation will be an opportunity for the empire to hype up the momentum, which can raise the cohesion of the black wing to an unprecedented height, so that Odin can harvest the faith more smoothly and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the little dragon to ascend to the gods.

After appeasing his brother, Caesar turned to the other royal lords: "At present, the Immortal Empire has used the Lost Lock to seal off the entire central region, and we can use the nearest teleportation node in El Sala to inform the United Kingdom of El Sala that the north is in a state of total war, and the royal court will requisition all the teleportation nodes they can pass. ”

"Right away." The Manticore Lord, who was in charge of diplomacy, turned and left.

"Gather the Dragonthroat Clan, the Radiant Dragon will be the first to teleport the troops, and you will be my eyes to find out the situation in the central part of the country."

"Yes, my king." Tia, the four-winged dragon who had been a part-time companion to Luna when she was pregnant, received the order.

"Wait."

Caesar stopped her, and suddenly remembered, "How many dragon eggs do you have?" ”

"There are currently sixty hatching pools in the empire, with a total of about three thousand dragon eggs."

Tia hurriedly replied, glad that the Great Emperor finally remembered this stubble, as the only fully aberrant clan in the empire, only a small number of gifted and powerful people had the ability to reproduce, and as time went on, their numbers were decreasing sharply.

"Are you going to wake them up?" Tia hesitated and asked, "Do you still want to replenish the dragon eggs?" ”

"Hatch five hundred first."

Caesar ordered, those are the dragon eggs that have been irradiated by him, the Black Wing Empire has a whole set of mature processes that can be quickly catalyzed, these distorted radiant dragons can be put into battle two weeks after breaking the shell, "Add another three thousand dragon eggs to the reserve warehouse, and after five thousand are enough, I will find a time to radiate." ”

It is worth mentioning that among the more than 3,000 dragon eggs in the hatching pool, a batch of them are not aberration products after the radiation of the black dragon, but the blessed dragon eggs of Odin praying for the oracle, but the number is very small, only about thirty, and Caesar does not care.
