In the city of Nia, inside the palace hall, on the seats on both sides, a large number of high-level officials of the empire exchanged heads and ears with each other, the atmosphere was very tense, many people were arguing and arguing, and the information on the border and the requirements of the Holy Sevier Empire were also delivered to the city of Nia, and the time limit was set for the Cretan Empire to make a decision.

Prime Minister Tamble's face was cloudy, after all, he was the main advocate of the "Orc Slave Act" that the Holy Sevir Empire demanded to be abolished, and he was also the target of the other party's responsibility.

The Holy Sevir Empire's army had the greatest impact on the city, and it was he who would not remember that when the Orc Slave Act was passed, most of the people present were the beneficiaries, but only remembered that he Tambull was the one who brought them war and disaster.

Many officials and nobles sent by the emperor continued to make unfavorable remarks against Prime Minister Tambur, and Emperor Zolman II also continued to make small moves in private, he was not just dissatisfied with his uncle, but hate, as soon as there was any opportunity, Zolman II would immediately get rid of him and regain his rights.

On the central table, there is a map of the Cretan Empire, as well as the direction of the Holy Seville Empire's troops, and many generals and nobles are gathered around, estimating that if the Holy Seville Empire really invades, it will enter the territory of the Cretan Empire by that route.

"The Cretan Empire claims to have an army of 800,000, according to our calculations and intelligence, 340,000 troops should have, including hundreds of thousands of knights, such elite troops, such a huge legion to fight, we are in a hurry, it is difficult to deal with it."

"Three or four hundred thousand troops, they can only enter from here, and here, two routes, and other places, they simply cannot accommodate so many troops to advance, and they are vulnerable to our interception and interception, they will only start from these two routes, the most likely of which is to go all the way down the Red River Plain, through the Dips Grand Canyon, and from here all the way to the Imperial Capitalia, all of which are unimpeded."

Immediately someone said: "But in front of this, we have a total of a dozen cities, several impregnable fortresses, even if we deal with it in a hurry, as long as we launch a war mobilization, we can mobilize enough soldiers to deal with this war, and we have no fear of the invasion of the Holy Seville Empire." ”

"That's right, we also have strong soldiers and legions, we are a powerful Cretan Empire, and we are not afraid of any enemy."

At this time, Cardinal Leon, the cardinal of the Church of Light, who was sitting in the back, stood up, he was wearing a solemn red and black-rimmed robe, embroidered with the holy emblem of the Church of the Sun on the front and back, and looked at everyone present at this moment: "I am here today to represent the opinion of the Pope to declare that the Church of Light will not participate in this war. ”

The scene was full of uproar, the support of the Church of Light and the Legion of the Church of Light were very important to the Cretan Empire, and the Church of Light directly announced that it would not support this war, and for the Cretan Empire, it lost a strong force and support.

And at this time, Emperor Zolman II stood up: "Why the war, have you asked the opinions of all the nobles present, as well as the commoners of the entire Cretan Empire?" ”

"What we need is peace and stability, why make such a stupid choice for such a stupid thing, we can choose to live in peace with the Holy Seville Empire, not ......"

Zolman II strongly criticized Prime Minister Tambur, and most of the nobles began to move, starting such a war, it is not in their interests, and it is completely unnecessary, although many of them are close associates of Prime Minister Tambur, but they also have their own positions and interests, rather than working hard for Tambur.

At this time, a guard rushed in from outside the city, holding a letter from the province of Arabel.

"It's a letter from Earl!"

"Has the orc slave rebellion in Arabell Province come to fruition?"

The Emperor immediately took the letter from the guard, Count Tite was Tamble's nephew and Emperor Zolman's cousin, but he was indeed a hardcore ally on the side of Duke Tambur, and it was he who suppressed the Arabel Orc rebellion.

He unhurriedly and steadily suppressed the rebellion in the province of Arabel, and at the same time, he was constantly weakening the power of Emperor Zolman II in the province of Arabell, and when he completely suppressed the rebellion, I am afraid that the entire Arabell will no longer belong to the royal family before, which makes Zolman II hate his cousin so much.

However, when he saw his letter at this moment, he smiled on his face, as long as Count Tite quelled the rebellion, negotiated and traded with the Holy Sevier Empire with these 200,000 slaves, so as to weaken the power and influence of Duke Tambur, and even completely remove him from the position of prime minister, it was the purpose of Zolman II.

However, after reading the letter, Zolman II's face changed from a smile to an iron blue, and he didn't even notice that the letter slipped down his fingertips, while Duke Tambur's face showed a strange smile.

Duke Tambur picked up the letter, read it, and passed it to all the nobles around him, holding his cane in both hands, and his fingers kept tapping the gem on the cane: "We have no chance of peace talks!" ”

"A war between humans and orcs is inevitable, and when we receive this letter, those orcs on the border should also receive the news at the same time, and they will immediately cross the border and start a war before us."

"Gentlemen, there is no time to hesitate, I suggest that a war mobilization order be drafted immediately to deal with this war."

---------------

Maple Leaf City is a low-lying city, located at the corner of the lower reaches of the Na'vi River, originally a large city with beautiful scenery by the mountains and rivers, but at this moment, the entire valley and within a radius of 100 miles have all turned into a swampy area.

There were corpses floating everywhere on the water, and a large number of corpses were soaked in a miserable white, emitting a foul smell, and on the surface of the water, such corpses stretched endlessly, all the way to the sky, inside and outside the city, the corpses were so blocked that even the boats could not row, and everyone who observed this miserable situation vomited loudly.

Several fishing boats carrying a dozen soldiers rowed into the city, and along the way, thousands of dead people kept passing by them, and between the oars of the boats, they kept grazing the bodies of these dead men and hooking the corners of their clothes.

Even the sun in the sky, when it came here, seemed to become dim, a chilling, creepy aura, cold eroded their bodies, in the entire Maple Leaf City, as if there was no living person, they seemed to hear hundreds of thousands of undead roaring and screaming in the sky.

"This, this is hell!"

"Is this really the right thing for Master Tite? Hundreds of thousands of lives. ”

"The evil deeds of these orcs in Arabel deserve their hell!"

"But this ......"

They stood up, the ship crossed by the faintly exposed spire of the arrow tower of the Maple Leaf City wall, standing in the center of this vast swamp, as if the whole world, countless corpses were densely lined up from around them, and there was not a single living person in sight, this was the world of the dead.

This is the place where the Na'vi River was originally rerouted in the design city, connecting canals, together with several large lakes, through the Cretan Empire, and finally converging to the Red River, but at this moment, the river channel was dug by Count, and the flood burst out of the embankment, flooding the entire Maple Leaf City, and drowning the hundreds of thousands of orcs hiding in the Maple Leaf City.

Without spending a single soldier and without any casualties, Count Tite easily killed hundreds of thousands of orcs who relied on the fortified city to defend it, if it was attacked, Count Tite's tens of thousands of regular troops and knights, if they wanted to take Maple Leaf City, I am afraid they would need more soldiers and support, and it would take longer and heavy casualties to be able to take this city.

At this moment, Count Tite solved his enemy with the fastest and most convenient speed, and hundreds of thousands of orcs were swept away by the surging flood in a panic and in disbelief.
