Leng responded to Chen Jianguan's request for the envoy of the angel clan. Edmund and the other side tied up the call.

The Earth Monarch felt compelled to establish a friendly relationship with the Hammondale Alliance as soon as possible.

Judging from the meaning revealed in Jian Chen's words, the reason why the Erathia Empire and the Hammondale Alliance made a truce was because they did not want to face three powerful opponents at the same time.

Edmund thought that if he were in the situation of the Erathian Empire, he would also choose one of the three opponents to form an alliance.

He thought about it again, and found that his situation at this time was not much different from that of the Erathian Empire.

The Erathian Empire is at war with the Cregans and the Hammondale Alliance at the same time, and it is also necessary to be careful to guard against an elemental clan whose friend or foe are unknown.

Edmund himself, however, was at war with the Cregans while maintaining a fairly friendly relationship with Hammondal

In the past few days, due to Edmund's attempt to capture the griffin knight, the relationship between the elemental clan and the emperor ** has actually been quite tense, Hammondale is so big, and the distribution of the three forces is also clear at a glance, and the emperor ** can certainly guess that the matter was done by the elemental clan.

Before Empress Catherium gave the order to forbear, the scout troops on both sides had even begun a skirmish.

If it weren't for the fact that both sides were afraid of making things bigger, they still maintained a certain level of sanity and did not expand the war, maybe the Yuan Poison Clan and the Emperor ** would have already fought a big fight.

Edmund now regrets his impulsive actions.

Although the emperor ** showed considerable wariness and hostility towards the elemental clan before, at least the two sides still maintained a superficial peace.

Now this fragile peace is showing signs of being broken.

Under such circumstances, if the Erathian Empire really formed an alliance with that Chen Jian, his situation would be a bit bad.

If the Hammondale Alliance and the Erathian Empire had formed an alliance against him, and with the addition of the Cregans, wouldn't he have to fight three opponents at the same time?

As soon as he thought of this, Edmund fidgeted, he had only been in this world for a few days, how could he have such a depressing thing.

He found that it was really not easy to gain a foothold in this world, and his previous ideas seemed to be a little too idealistic.

The Elementals were restless here, but the Imperial defenders of Fort Werning were furious.

The sudden appearance of the elemental clan on the territory of the empire to build elemental castles on a large scale, and the act of gathering troops in the eyes of these emperors is undoubtedly a rather arrogant act of aggression to challenge the authority of the empire.

In fact, it was not only the defenders of Fort Werning who thought so, but all the Imperial people who knew about this situation were indignant.

When this situation was reported back to the Empire, a wave of calls for war was immediately set off within the Empire.

Both the military and the civilian population have a strong hope that the Imperial ** team will immediately dispatch to drive out all these elemental clans as hateful as the Kregans from the empire.

Not everyone can see clearly the difficult predicament that the Empire is facing at the moment, and with the exception of a few who are sober-minded, most of the Empire people are still obsessed with the aura of the Empire's former strength.

In the last war, the Empire, in the most critical situation, still managed to repel the unholy alliance composed of three hostile countries, the Ov Kingdom, the Negan Lord, and the Immortal Kingdom of Force, and repelled the Tytalia Swamp Kingdom and the Krurod Barbarian Kingdom, which took advantage of the fire.

This brilliant record made the people of the empire very optimistic that the empire was still strong and invincible.

Now it's just the Ofer Kingdom and the elemental clan that has appeared out of nowhere, and many people believe that as long as the empire is serious, these two unknown forces will collapse under the attack of the imperial army.

After all, the power of the empire at this time was far stronger than it was when it was torn apart under the siege of many countries.

At this time, Empress Catherine ignored the will of the majority of the army, and instead strongly ordered not to clash with the elemental clan.

All armies on the Eastern Frontier Front, like the defenders of Fort Werning, had received a strong order from Empress Catherine not to provoke the Elementals, and to tolerate as much as possible in the event of conflict.

The Imperial ** team was generally indignant because of this order.

After receiving the battle report from the gods on the eastern border and learning of the empress's attitude towards the elemental clan, the Imperial defenders who were guarding the territory were full of discussions.

Having not seen the tremendous progress of the Kregans at this time, they could not understand why the situation was so rotten despite the Empress Catherine's personal conquest.

Similarly, Empress Catherine's strange attitude towards the elemental tribes who invaded the territory of the empire was also puzzling.

In the past, Empress Catherine's attitude towards invaders who dared to invade the empire can be described in one word.

That's "hitting".

The enemies they fought were terrified, the enemies they fought were scattered, and they did not dare to look at the empire with their eyes.

In the last war, one by one invaders were resolutely defeated by Empress Catherine, and then fled from the empire one after another.

But now, what is Catherine going to do?

Under this suspicion, a wave of thought began to emerge in the armies of various parts of the empire.

Empress Catherine had changed, years of peaceful life had made her lose her sense of initiative, her courage had worn out over time, and her mind had begun to dull. She is no longer as fearless, brave and decisive as she used to be.

She began to look forward, timid and cautious, timid.

She was no longer a wise commander, nor was she a wise ruler, and she even had the idea of joining forces with the elementals.

It's just an Ofu Kingdom, can't the empire really deal with it?

Coupled with the fact that Empress Catherine was ambushed by the Kregans last time and that the recent battles with the Krigans under her command had not yielded decisive results, for a while. Disappointment with Empress Catherine pervaded the Emperor's ranks, and the Empress's prestige in the army fell to its lowest point ever.

Mlak looked at the large stack of war invitations piled up on his desk, and then looked at the large group of emotional middle- and lower-level emperor ** officials in the hall, and was silent.

"My lord, I don't understand why Her Majesty would give such an order! General Kendall is almost arriving with reinforcements, and it's not like we don't have the ability to fight those damn elementals, so why put up with it! A short, extremely thin officer said to Mrak hatefully, "The despicable elementals are openly encroaching on the territory of the Empire!" They are the enemies of the Empire! And were my six griffon knights killed by the insidious elementals for nothing? I can't swallow this breath."

Mlak sighed and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "I will truthfully reflect your request to Her Majesty the Empress, but now, an order is an order, and no one is allowed to act rashly before the order is changed, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!" Go down first, and I'll be alone for a while."

With that, Mlak stood up and left the hall.

As an experienced Imperial general, Mrak's judgment of the current situation was relatively accurate, and he certainly knew that the Empire was not suitable for war with the Elemental Clan at this time.

But if it doesn't fit, it doesn't mean you have to put up with it.

Mrak felt that now the emperor should be tougher, just like the last time he dealt with the elven kingdom, and teach the enemy a painful lesson with lightning speed, letting them know that the empire is not easy to mess with.

After letting the other party understand the strength of the empire, wouldn't it be better to pin their hopes on that dissident Chen Jian like now in the peace talks led by the empire?

Moreover, the empress even has plans to bring Chen Jian back into the empire, which is a foolish thing in Mrak's opinion, Chen Jian has already made a public alliance with the elemental clan, and is trying to be unfavorable to the empire, such a person should be eliminated immediately, so as to prevent future troubles.

Keeping him will sooner or later bring serious harm to Emperor Yin.

No matter how much Mlak thought about it, he couldn't figure out what kind of special ability or talent this Chen Jian had that could make the empress value him so much.

Military talent? There are more famous generals in the empire.

Management skills? If a big empire, is there still no such talent?

It seems that it is really necessary for me to have more in-depth negotiations with those people, Catherine, this woman is indeed no longer suitable to stay on the throne, her presence, her practices, have hindered the re-emergence of the empire.

Back in his room, Mrak quickly wrote a letter, then took out one, a magic letter teleportation array, and passed the letter out.

"Your Majesty, you are really a disappointment! Why did you fall to such a point? For the sake of the Empire, I have to do something unreasonable to you! I'm really sorry! But it's all your fault! ”

Mrak muttered to himself as the letters faded away in the magical light, then sighed heavily.

At the same time, at Harmondale Castle, Chen Jian also sighed heavily.

From Edmund's reaction, Jian Chen knew that the other party was bluffed by himself again, but even if he didn't bluff, Jian Chen had a way to deal with it.

The big deal is to simply show his identity as the lord of the Erathia Empire, doesn't the other party not really want to make enemies with the Erathia Empire? With the golden sign of the empire to protect himself, the other party should not dare to mess around.

Moreover, Jian Chen also believed that before Edmund was sure of the true relationship between himself and the Empire, he should continue to ensure whether the envoy would appear.

Now, he has succeeded in bringing Hammondale City to safety for the time being. It also successfully provoked the relationship between the two sides, and whether the Empire and the Elemental Race were at war or peace would largely depend on their next move.

So should he provoke a war between the Empire and the Elementals, as Orison said? Will this really be beneficial to a weak emerging force like oneself?

Jian Chen fell into deep thought again. (To be continued)
