It turned out that after I went to Ari City alone, the Dwarven King contacted the Dwarven Legion Branch stationed in Dasai City, mobilized all the Dwarven Legion elites in more than ten surrounding towns, a total of 300,000 troops, and pressed towards the border of Ari City.

At the same time, the old duke received an edict from the orc king, mobilized all the elites of several surrounding towns, and also gathered an army of 300,000 to march towards the border of Eri City.

The sudden appearance of the dwarven legion has already made dozens of border towns in Eri City panic, and then the soldiers of the orc army came to the city, like the last straw that crushed the camel, shocking everyone in dozens of towns to endanger themselves, and even several city lords opened the door to surrender.

It's not that they don't dare to fight, it's that they can't.

If the opponent is just an orc, what if there is a battle, anyway, they are all near the city, only hundreds of miles apart, and it is normal to have occasional friction, even against your hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as I close the city gate and retreat to defend the city, what can you do to me?

But now the situation is different, and the dwarves have also come in, which is a problem.

The lords of the various branches of Eri City have not received a single letter related to Castle Vicky, let alone a bad relationship with Castle.

If there is no fighting, why did Vechburg send hundreds of thousands of troops here?

Could it be that Eri City is hiding some treasure that Vicky Fort must have?

Impossible!

As everyone knows, the two towns with the most treasures are Moonlight City and Fort Vechi, and the latter is even more hidden.

With such a big treasure house, how could it be possible to covet those inconspicuous so-called rare treasures in Ari City?

What's more, the current two kings of Vechburg are working hard to develop national construction, and they are not at all the kind of hedonists who are greedy for pleasure and like foreign objects.

So, in a panic, dozens of city lords at the same time repaired a book, as fast as possible, delivered to Carter Horton, the staff who handled the copywriting at that time, after seeing dozens of letters with different contents but the same meaning, were stunned, dropped the pen, hurriedly ran to the little red fish's custom shop, and regardless of the occasion, broke in, and told the content of the letter to Carter Houghton, which led to the fierce hatred, and even roaring and angry words.

I don't blame him for being impulsive, but it happened too suddenly and violently.

If the army comes to the city without warning, no matter how outstanding the general is, no matter how mighty the monarch is, he will be caught off guard by the sudden situation, and it is inevitable that he will be confused.

"Thanks to you, the negotiations went very smoothly," I said.

The old duke smiled and said, "Well, it's good to know, after you go back, you have to have a good drink with me to repay my old bones!" ”

I don't dare to refuse.

The night after that, I drank with the old duke, President Olli, and President Hammer until dawn, and at the end, the three of them were lying on their stomachs, drunk and unimaged, and I was the only one who was not drunk and was still sober.

It's not that I'm too drunk, it's that the killing intent in my body is too domineering, any toxin, I will destroy it when I see it, and I won't even let go of alcohol, so that after the killing intent is poured into the body, I have never experienced the taste of drunkenness again.

The three drunken men had their own attendants to help them into their rooms to rest, and I went straight out of the Duke's palace and went straight to the palace.

When the orc king saw me, he frowned slightly and said, "How much have you drunk?" ”

I said hehehe, "Back to Your Majesty, with the old duke and the two dwarven presidents, I have been drinking since yesterday afternoon until just now." ”

The orc king was surprised: "You are not drunk?" ”

"The minister doesn't know why, suddenly a hundred bowls are not drunk, a thousand cups are not poured" said, sighed deeply, and said: "Speaking of which, the minister prefers that kind of vague drunkenness, but unfortunately he can't taste it anymore." ”

"You kid" The orc king shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, since you're not drunk, let's talk about it, how did yesterday's negotiations go?" ”

"Thanks to you, it went very well."

Next, I will describe a series of performances by Carter Houghton.

The Orc King said unexpectedly: "This old guy can even lose his temper, it seems that his obsession with authority is far beyond my imagination." ”

I sighed, "He is so obsessed with controlling and cultivating the strength of adventurers that he is even willing to sacrifice the poor people as stepping stones and paving blocks for the rise of Eri City, but as everyone knows, the power of the poor is also extremely terrifying. ”

"I coincide with you on this point," the orc king said: "The people are like water, the king is like a boat, and the water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat." ”

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" The Orc King was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with my words?" ”

"No, you're mistaken," I said, waving my hand, "I'm just a little surprised." ”

The orc king smiled: "Why, do you think that I, a rough man, can only fight, farm monsters, and don't understand the philosophy of the world?" ”

"Not really, it's just that I've heard someone say something like that a long time ago."

"Oh? Is there anyone who thinks like me? The orc king was quite interested, and said, "Xiao Yi knows where this person lives now, can he be introduced?" ”

"Your Majesty appoints the virtuous and appreciates the talented, it is really a great fortune in Dasai City, but the person I met, born idle clouds and wild cranes, likes to travel everywhere, it is me, and I have only had a one-sided relationship with him, and I raised a glass to invite a talk, and it was only an hour before he said goodbye and left, and has not been heard from since."

After hearing this, the orc king sighed deeply and said: "There are many hermits, even if some people are willing to go out of the mountains to help the world and assist the government, it is only one or two out of ten, which is really a loss for the country." ”

"I don't agree with what you say, it is naturally a blessing for the country to be able to go out of the mountain and dedicate their strength to the country, as for those who do not go out of the mountain, it is just a speck of dust in the vast history, a fallen leaf, there are not many of him, there are not many of him."

The orc king laughed and said: "Your idea is very interesting, you are right, those capable people who do not go out of the mountain, even if they are powerful and talented, they cannot convey them to the ears of the monarch, and they cannot save the people of Li, such people who have no sense of existence, what is the difference between having and not?" ”

After that, there was another burst of laughter, and the laughter was full of desolation.

The orc king is open-minded by nature, can see a lot of things, and can accommodate a lot of grievances, but for talented people who can't use it, and the phenomenon that powerful people don't go out of the mountain, they will still feel lost.

The idle clouds and wild cranes I said just now were just made up to perfunctory him, but unexpectedly aroused his loss, which is really a sin.

As soon as my eyes rolled, I changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, four days later, the minister will lead the guild and others to rush to the public area to start a death battle with the Knights of the Round Table Guild, and ask Your Majesty to send soldiers to help plunder the formation." ”

"This is nature" the orc king said: "Even if you don't say it, I will do it, Carter Horton's old fellow is cunning and ruthless, and he can't say that he will hide an ambush, and take advantage of the battle between the two guilds, and suddenly surprise the army, and kill you, the unstable factor, as soon as possible." ”
