"Good stuff, good stuff." The Earth Covered Beast muttered, suddenly as if it remembered something, its face changed, and asked, "Boss, I just saw that you should have failed to use it for the first time, so now Blackstone Fortress?" ”

"Squeak, squeak." Pipsqueak screamed.

"Uh... It's over? The Earth-Covered Beast asked cautiously.

"Squeak."

Pipsqueak nodded.

"Boss, let's run." The Earth-Covered Beast hurriedly said, "Those black clouds and mist just now floated out of us, and they are so large that they are too conspicuous. If the Blackstone Fortress is destroyed, the Orc Empire will not let us go. ”

"Squeak, squeak." Pipsqueak nodded violently and dodged onto the Earth-Covered Beast.

"Roaring ~~~~~"

The Earth-Covered Beast flew over the valley and roared. The monster group in the valley moved instantly, some weak monsters hurriedly jumped on the backs of those powerful monsters, and the entire monster group quickly ran south under the leadership of the ground covered beast and more than a dozen boss monsters, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

......

Late at night, the imperial capital of Larcana.

The Palace Study.

"Humph! This Tiger Race is becoming more and more restless, and even I, the Emperor of the Empire, are about to lose my attention, and actually refuse to carry out my orders. Emperor Hebrew sat in his chair, looking at the information in his hand, his brow furrowed slightly.

These days.

The situation on the border side is tense, and the nobles' voices for war are becoming stronger and stronger.

Although he is the emperor of the empire, unlike the human kingdom, the lion and tiger tribes originally had a relatively equal status, and he could not make a move against the tiger people on the surface, so he could only make some moves secretly.

"Your Majesty, now that the chronicle has just begun, we have limited understanding of those adventurers in the other world, and it is difficult to say whether this matter is good or bad. It would be unwise to go to war with humanity at this time, and the situation would be even more chaotic. On the chair in front of the right, there was an old lion man dressed in aristocratic clothing, but at this time he spoke.

"Hans, I understand what you said, but it's not an easy matter to stop the Tiger Clan." Hebrew said softly, "The two races of man and beast have maintained peace for hundreds of years, not to mention the tiger people, even among our lion people, those radicals can't help but take action." ”

"You should have felt it these days, many young nobles in the clan are leaning towards Soke's side."

"Your Majesty is right." Hans nodded slightly.

War is naturally a terrible thing for soldiers and ordinary people, meaning that they have to pay with blood and even their lives. But it was different for the aristocracy, especially the powerful families, who were able to plunder amazing profits from the war, regardless of whether the war was lost or won.

As for those ambitious low-level aristocrats, war is the ladder of their progress.

Only in the midst of war can they achieve the status and glory they desire by virtue of their strength and strategy. For those careerists, war is not terrible, on the contrary, peace is the real torment for them.

"A few days ago, the Guards Regiment entered the Saudis for no reason to plunder, and they almost provoked a war." Heber said, "Fortunately, I asked the Duke of Abed, of the Tiger Clan, to come forward and suppress Sok and them, and they have been much more restrained recently. ”

"But..."

"The Guards refused to accept my orders and evacuated from the Stone Gate Fortress, this is not a long-term solution." Hebrew continued.

"It's time to find a way to get them back." Hans smiled slightly, "But this old fellow Abede can always be unprofitable, and it is His Majesty who came forward to move him." ”

"I've done him a great favor before, and it's time to pay it back." Hebrew smiled slightly.

"Still, Your Majesty."

"When you were young, you were the best friends with Duke DeWitt." Hans said, "He is now the patriarch of the Minotaur, and his strength is also unfathomable, with his current influence and status, if he can stand on our side, I believe that the Tiger Clan will also be a little jealous." ”

"DeWitt." Hebrew's face was a little complicated. As the current lord-level powerhouse, he used to be a peerless genius of the lion clan, until he met DeWitt, who was even more dazzling than him at that time. The other party didn't even bother to take out his weapon, and defeated him casually.

In the years that followed.

He challenged DeWitt again and again, but never won, and the gap between the two grew wider.

But because of this, the two of them have also become very good friends. He was able to ascend to the imperial throne because he was much better than the other members of the imperial family, but DeWitt's support also played a big role.

Since he ascended to the throne and DeWitt has become the Minotaur Patriarch. The two have different ideas, but they gradually disagree, and for the interests of their respective ethnic groups, there is constant friction, and now they are on the same page.

"I don't regret it!" Hebrew said secretly in his heart, "DeWitt, I'm sure you've never regretted it." ”

There was some quiet inside the house.

"Your Majesty?" Hans looked at Hebrew and reminded softly.

"Well, there's no need to leave him alone."

"I know him very well, he will never be co-opted by us, and the same is true for the Tiger Clan." Hebrew said casually, "Even if he is on our side, it may not be a good thing, once the balance maintained by the lion and tiger races for thousands of years is broken, the tiger people's side will inevitably rebound, and it will be more troublesome at that time." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that I didn't think it through." Hans replied that he knew very well about the affairs between His Majesty and DeWitt, and it was inconvenient to say anything more at this time.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Ibn, come in."

Hebrew's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke. Ibn was the captain of his guard, one of his few cronies.

Squeak, the door opened.

A burly lion man in golden armor with two giant maces hanging from his waist walked in.

"Your Majesty, Duke Hans." Ibn saluted respectfully.

"What's wrong?" Hebrew asked, looking up. Ibn had followed him for many years, and he was not a man of ignorance, and would never come and disturb him in the middle of the night if it was not for something of great importance.

"Your Majesty." Ibn said in a somewhat solemn tone, "I just received news that the Blackstone Fortress was destroyed by a strange cloud of black clouds and lightning, and all the rest of the people died except for the Captain of the Guards, Aubrey, and the Captain of the Third Brigade, Raphael, who escaped with serious injuries. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Hebrew color, who was sitting at the table, was extremely ugly at this time

"Stone Gate Fortress destroyed?!" Hans chuckled in his heart, not to mention the importance of the Stone Gate Fortress itself, in addition to hundreds of thousands of residents, at this time, there were two corps stationed in the city at the same time, more than 300,000 Imperial soldiers. Among them, the Guards Regiment is one of the few elite regiments in the Empire, and such a loss is unbearable even for the Empire.

"This is the video coming from ahead." Ibn stepped forward quickly, placing a hemispherical magical machine on the table, and then retreated.

Hebrew raised his hand and touched it lightly.

Scenes suddenly appeared in mid-air, and it was the entire process of the destruction of the Shimen Fortress.

I saw a black cloud flashing with blood-colored electric light, which suddenly appeared in the sky above the Blackstone Fortress, and black-red raindrops scattered. Soon, several mountain-like blood-colored thunderbolts slashed down, and the energy barrier of Black Rock City was useless at all, and it was crushed by a single blow.

Almost instantaneously.

The massive Blackstone Fortress was destroyed by blood-colored lightning.

Only two light-shrouded figures sprang out, one of them on his knees covered in blood. Hebrew recognized it at a glance, this is a peerless genius that the Tiger People have rarely seen for hundreds of years, Raphael, and there is a charcoal-like figure lying next to him, which should be the Captain of the Guards, Aubrey.

After the blood-colored thunderbolt destroyed the entire Blackstone Fortress again, it quickly dissipated, and the two survived.

"What the hell is this?" Hebrew's brow furrowed. With his experience and experience, he had never heard of or seen such black clouds and lightning, and to destroy the Blackstone Fortress in an instant, even the vast majority of lord-level powerhouses could not do it.

"Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to find out the reason as soon as possible." Hans hurriedly got up and said.

"The reason naturally needs to be investigated, but the most important thing now is not this." Hebrew's face was also solemn, "The Shimen Fortress was destroyed, and almost all the soldiers and generals of the Guards Regiment and the Third Garrison Regiment were killed. No matter what the truth is, the Tiger People will definitely put the blame on the Saudis, and war is inevitable. ”

"This—" Hans reacted.

The Tiger People have been looking for an excuse to attack the Saudis, and the destruction of the Shimen Fortress at this time undoubtedly gave them the best excuse. These days, the two countries are constantly clashing on the border, and it is indeed possible that the Saudi Kingdom will retaliate, and the Tiger People who have lost the Guards will definitely launch a retaliatory action immediately.

As soon as the news of the destruction of the Blackstone Fortress spread, it would be difficult for him and His Majesty to stop it.

"Since you can't stop it, you have to take the lead. Ibn, let Komerovo come to me at once. Hebrew got up and said.

"Yes." Ibn turned and departed

"It seems that Your Majesty has made up your mind, and I have to go back and get ready." Hansk secretly said in his heart that once the two clans went to war, it would inevitably involve all aspects, and he and his family could not stay out of it either.
