"What aid can save the day now?" asked Emperor Alfred.

Gandas said, "Please allow me to discuss it privately with you. ”

Alfred waved his hand and told everyone else to exit the hall. Seeing that the Emperor was no longer held responsible, Graham and Franco immediately withdrew, and Count Duane and Eder followed them out of the room.

The Emperor stepped down from the high platform where the throne was placed, and said to Gandas, "Speak. Whatever you have to say now, it's best to have some effect and don't let me down like you did in the previous plan. ”

"You can turn to my teacher, the Sage of Morales, for help. Gandas said.

The Emperor said, "I asked you this question before the war began. At that time you said to me that your teacher would not be involved in secular wars. Why is it up to you to bring this up now?"

"Your Majesty, the situation is very different now. The masters of the empire have suffered great losses, and the orc soldiers are not as effective as we expected. With the strength we have at hand now, it is unlikely that we will completely block the Chinese from Heimu Pass.

We have caused a lot of damage to the tower of China before. If the Chinese break through the Heimu Pass, even if they want to save their interests and calm people's hearts, I am afraid they will not stop at the pass, right? Once they step into the territory of the empire, this will change the situation of the empire for hundreds of years.

Although we have not breached the Blackwood Pass in the south for the past few hundred years. But the kingdom has never let the people of the kingdom invade the north, and the teacher may not help you to expand your territory, but it is possible to prevent the Chinese from shaking the foundation of the empire. ”

"Really?"

"At least it's worth a try. Gandas said.

"Then try to ask him for his opinion. Emperor Alfred said.

Master Gandas took out the materials and began to set up a communication circle, and the Emperor walked back and forth in the room, thinking about his thoughts.

He suddenly asked, "Gandas, do you think that if you find an opportunity, you can make peace with the people of the Tower of China." Will they be willing to accept the conditions and return to the situation at the beginning of the war?"

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to make such an answer for the people of the Tower of China, but you only have to carefully observe the process of their rise. Their desire for land is very strong. Their initial territory was very small, but whether it was the Duke of Greenwood City or the little queen, as long as they provoked them, they would be met with fierce counterattacks. With each conflict, their territory expands a little. By now, the power of Greenwood City has disappeared, and the Queen's direct domain, Suero, has also fallen into their hands.

I don't think there's any reason to accept such a clause as long as they're at this point. Gandas said, already arranging the communication array in his hand, and soon an old voice came from the other side.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, now that you are in contact with me, the war must have reached a very bad point, right?"

Facing a Sage, even the Emperor, he had to lower his posture, and Alfred said respectfully: "Morales Sage, I'm sorry to disturb you at this time. As you say, our war has reached a very critical moment. The Tower of China has used a lot of despicable means to sneak attack and maim our masters, up to now, we have six masters killed by the other side or fallen into the hands of the other side, if there is another battle between the masters, we will be at an extreme disadvantage, once defeated Heimu Pass will definitely change hands. ”

"Emperor, to say such vile things in war would be to appear mentally immature. Failure is something that everyone encounters, but blaming the cause of failure on the head of the opponent is the behavior of the weak. Morales said mercilessly, "Your father once asked me to take care of what you do. I also used to think you were mature enough and strong enough to rule this empire. So whether you are cleaning up opponents at home, or waging war against the kingdom and the tower of China, I have remained silent.

But today's performance after losing the war still disappoints me. The way you just said this is that you lost a fight with a child, and what difference does it make to find an adult to complain?"

Although his face was not seen by the Morales Sage, Emperor Alfred couldn't help but bow his head. The words of the Sage of Morales whipped him like a whip in his heart, causing his face to flush a little.

"Lord Sage, I don't mean to shirk my responsibility, we do not know enough about the Chinese, but this does not change the fact that they are a group of hateful opponents. What kind of people would use the plague as a weapon to attack indiscriminately, and what kind of people would use necromancy to manipulate the dead to fight my warriors, regardless of the disgust of the world?"

The Sage of Morales interrupted him and said, "Haven't you recognized your mistakes?

Don't say these meaningless words to me anymore, I don't want to waste time here with you. Say, what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to take action and destroy the masters of the other side so that we can continue the war. Emperor Alfred said.

"Gandas, is this your advice to His Majesty?" Morales asked.

"No, teacher, that's what Your Majesty meant by himself. ”

"Emperor, the world we live in is the way it is because there is a balance. Sages generally don't casually attack people below the Holy Rank, this is to maintain the potential of the entire human race.

Once I make a move, it really upsets the balance, which means that other Sages can do the same to the masters of the Empire. Is this what you want to see?"

"But the Chinese do not have saints. Is there anyone else who will take revenge on them?" Alfred said.

"It's like a kind of permission, in the future, there will be a war between the empire and the orcs, or the empire and the kingdom, and even among the remaining people of the Tower of China, the Sage will be born, and they will not have to spare their hands to deal with the masters of the empire. Morales said.

"I've never heard anything like that. The Emperor said.

Morales said: "It is a tacit understanding between the contemporary sages, and the war of the sages is limited to the sages. Otherwise, why do you think there has been no such thing as a Sage slaughtering a city for a hundred or two hundred years?"

Gandas said, "Teacher, even if you don't kill people, can you come over and deter the Chinese?"

"Yes, if the Chinese have passed the Heimu Pass, it will be a matter related to the safety of the entire empire. Sage!"
