In the room where the First Elder Tyre was working, there were two other consuls, Barnes and Manle.

Tyre asked Barry, the elder next to him, to hand the information he had just received to Manle, but Barnes took it and looked at it himself.

"It's about the desert to the west, right?" said Manle coldly. During this time, Manle was arguably the most honored person in the City of Honor, and the advance army plan he proposed allowed the Republic of Marvil to gain a lot of territory in the Kingdom of Kosai. Although the Moon Shield mercenary group was attacked by the regular army of the Winter Kingdom when it retreated, the mercenaries sent by Manle also rescued the new regiment leader Alan and repelled the soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom when they were in danger.

And when he learned that the defense line of the Kingdom of Cosai was empty, Manle immediately set off to the Duchy of Mageni and signed an agreement with the Duchy of mutual assistance and mutual assistance, which immediately made the Kingdom of Cosai face the pressure of three countries at the same time. Moreover, Adam, the king of the Kingdom of Cose, did not dare to send troops to regain the territories seized by the Republic.

In line with the war in the east, the territory of the Republic of Marveil expanded a lot to the east, which also made Manle, who represented the interests of the mercenaries, a big celebrity of the Republic, regaining the glory of the Republic's previous military forces, and many veterans who originally supported Barnes and Tyre also defected.

"Lord Manle is really clever, you know everything before you see what the letter is written, hum. Barnes said as he read the letter, and he didn't hand it to Manle, who was standing nearby.

"That's right, the infantry captives who had an accident have happened again," Tyre said with a calm expression, like an old wise man, who had no fear of anything, "this time it's a foreign problem." ”

Both archons nodded. The leaders present knew that in addition to the threat from the east, the Republic of Marvil also had to face a foreign nation behind a large area of yellow sand. Those elusive alien peoples were once called "orcs" by the rulers of the republic, and they were still orcs more terrifying than the "barbarians" of the people of the kingdom of Kosai in their eyes.

The reason why they are called orcs is because there have been people who have encountered foreign races and survived to say that those foreign orcs are surrounded by unknown monsters, and the orcs they meet are no different from wild beasts.

This is unacceptable to the patriarchs who respect quality and etiquette, and although they are old, they value appearance very much, and consider themselves to be a highly educated people. Compared to the dictators of empires, kingdoms, and principalities, the elders of the Marvil Republic were certainly wiser and more democratic and enlightened.

Therefore, most of the patriarchs advocated not letting the orcs who lived with the monsters enter their territory, and let them fend for themselves in the patches of yellow sand - but this time there was an accident.

The policy of the Republic of Marvey on the development of the western desert has always been steady. They will send troops and mercenaries to slowly expand the desolate and hot desert, and will never rush into the unknown world deep in the desert. So it is not surprising that most of the people who have been attacked in the past have been adventurers and private pioneers, who have gone to the most dangerous places on the continent for treasure, minerals, or curiosity. Therefore, even if there were many rumors that reached the Senate, they all became the after-dinner conversation of the senators, and no one really believed it.

But this time, from the memories of the escaped mercenary and the city magistrate, the orcs and monsters were really described in detail, not like a story of a lie.

Originally, the group was a mixture of mercenaries, infantry captives, and guards, but such a fighting force was wiped out by those orcs, and except for a few who fled with their lives, everyone else was devoured in the mouths of the monsters. The mayor also swore that he had seen the yellow sand open his mouth and swallow everyone, including the head of the hare mercenary regiment that had been hired to go with him.

Tyre had already met with the city magistrate yesterday, but the other party had gone insane, and kept muttering something "monsters, desert mouths...", all the elders who went to see him were incredible. It's just that the other guards and mercenaries who escaped back all said that they did encounter monsters, and the reason why they were able to escape was because they ran the fastest, and their original companions were eaten by the monsters behind. They said that the monsters came out of the sand, and that they all thought the sand was a pool and swam towards them with their mouths open.

Tyre informed the two consuls of all these details, knowing that the news would soon spread throughout the Marvil Republic, and even to the rulers of the other countries of the continent.

"Hmph, I don't care about this kind of thing, what orcs, monsters," Barnes didn't make any big contributions in several key decisions, and was slowly suppressed by the first patriarch Tyre and Manle, and he gradually lost some supporters who originally represented the interests of the nobles, "I don't care if it's real or fake." ”

Both Barry and Tyre expected Barnes to react like this, and unless it was a crisis like the last time Jack raided the City of Honor, the Archon wouldn't do anything.

"We should deal with this matter as soon as possible, while the Kingdom of Kosai is still in chaos, it is the right strategy to solve the worries. Sure enough, Manle did not disappoint Tyre, although he was a competitor, Manle's ability to deal with things has always been admired by all the elders of the Republic.

"And what does the Archon have to suggest?"

"The republic depends on the freedom, independence, and prosperity of the cities, but this incident has put all the western cities in a dangerous situation, and I think that the western cities should send troops, and the eastern cities should provide food, water, and weapons. ”

Both Tyre and Barry nodded.

"The general policy should indeed be like this, the most worrying thing right now is to be afraid of those orcs and monsters..."Tyre frowned, he would never let any monsters hurt his civilians.

"Let's call for the mercenary group of the Mercenary Guild!" Manle suddenly suggested.

"Mercenary Guild!?" Barry asked subconsciously. Everyone knows that among the people who attacked the Republic of Marvey was the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group, one of the nine mercenary groups of the Mercenary Guild, although after that battle, the MONOCULUS Mercenary Group was removed from the Mercenary Guild, but no one believed that the attack on the Republic had no mercenary union. Coupled with the fact that the Mercenary Guild has never had contact with the Republic, Manle's proposal this time was indeed a big surprise to Tyre.

"Didn't those guys look down on us all the time?" Barnes interjected.

"That's right, but the enemy is too dangerous this time, and we don't know how powerful those orcs and monsters are, so we shouldn't let our people risk it. "Manle's meaning is clear, he has regarded all the mercenary groups living in the Republic of Marvil as his own family, rather than ordinary mercenaries.

"Hehe, I thought you were letting your Moon Shield mercenary group be the vanguard again?" Barnes sneered sarcastically.

Manle ignored him, while the First Senator Tyre pondered the Archon's proposal.

"Leave this matter to Lord Manle, and I'll come up with a backup plan. ”
