When everyone had almost eaten, Lehart VII put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "On behalf of the Lionheart Empire, I would like to express my deepest condolences on behalf of the Lionheart Empire, I have known President Steines more than fifty years ago, and we have been friends for many years, just three months ago, I also invited President Leonardo da Vinci to watch a court tournament together, but I didn't expect it to be the last meeting, losing them is not only a great loss to the Wizards Association, but also a misfortune for the entire human race. ”

Rob nodded, "I also deeply regret what happened to Prince Williams, he is a sincere friend and true knight, fighting for his people, and the people of this land will surely remember his name forever." ”

"Both of us now seem to be facing a common enemy. "And if the information that President D'Addarion has given me is not exaggerated, then not only us, but the entire human race is now in a moment of extreme danger. ”

"Yes. "His Excellency the future Ultra Magister said bluntly," The enemy we have to face is stronger than ever, and there are more than one, although we walked side by side a thousand years ago, but it was only because it seemed in their best interest at the time, but in the final analysis, they did not want to see a powerful Terran appear, the matter of Seta City is not accidental, there are irreconcilable contradictions between our two sides, this is a war for the survival of the race, and according to their previous behavior patterns, I am afraid that full revenge will come soon. ”

When Rob finished speaking, there was a brief silence at the table.

Although it is not unexpected, it is undeniable that many people still have luck in their hearts until the moment before the answer is revealed, the Dawn Continent has been far away from the flames of war for hundreds of years, and everyone here has not experienced that dark history that has condensed countless blood and tears, and it is inevitable that they will be apprehensive when they suddenly face a big war of survival or destruction.

Only Lehart VII had the same expression at the table, and the old man obviously already knew the answer to the question, and he really just wanted to use Rob's mouth to tell the others in the room.

When everyone had almost digested it, Lehart VII spoke again, "We still have some things to do before this war begins. ”

Hearing this, the two princes stood up with solemn expressions, "Please give instructions from Your Majesty." ”

Lehart VII nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze eventually fell on Rob's.

The old lion king's next sentence made the atmosphere of the entire palace condense.

"I'm going to send troops to the Holy Alliance. ”

"Oh?" Rob raised his eyebrows, surprised.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not such a careless person, and I didn't send troops this time to avenge Williams. The old lion king paused and said seriously, "Please tell me the truth, what are our chances of winning this time?"

"It's very small. Rob's answer made everyone's hearts sink uncontrollably, the future Super Magister is now recognized as the strongest master in the Dawn Continent, as the person who has witnessed the gods attack twice, and fought with the gods incarnations and then retreated, he is undoubtedly the most qualified person to assess the strength of the gods, and if even his answer is so pessimistic, it can be seen that the situation is serious.

Lehart VII said, "In that case, we must be able to seize every opportunity, as the inferior side we only have a very low margin for error, until the war really begins, no one knows how to fight each battle, but from a strategic level I know what we are going to do now - the Terrans must first complete unity, unity, the free city-states have already sent a proposal to their council to form a wartime union, but the Holy Alliance's side ......"

Lehart VII shook his head, "The people there have been controlled by the church for too long, and although I still believe that if they are given enough time, they will see who is on the right side, but unfortunately we may not have that time, so I have to do it myself." ”

Reich Prime Minister Pushkin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by a wave from Lehart VII.

"The situation is not as bad as you think, the strength of the Holy Alliance is already weaker than ours, the church is in turmoil, there are Brayton families in the north to support us, they can help us contact the local noble forces, plus the assistance of the Wizards Association, as long as we move fast enough, maybe our knights are already standing under the walls of St. Massa before the church reacts, so my concern has never been whether we can win the Holy Alliance. ”

The old lion king looked into Rob's eyes, " As you said, this is a war for the whole of humanity, and in this war you can get my assurance that as long as there is one person in the Lehart family, they will never back down, but at the same time I also have the responsibility of managing the empire on my shoulders, and my people live in this land, and I need to be responsible for their safety, and once the war starts, I will send the elite troops of the empire to the east and divide into two ways, this is also the time when the power of the hinterland of the empire is the most empty, I need someone who can help me solve it, or at least suppress those abyssal cracks in the territory, so that they do not cause trouble。 ”

At this point, Lehart VII finally made clear the intention of tonight's dinner, "I can guarantee that after the end of the war, the United Society will be dissolved, and the Empire's troops will also withdraw from the territory of the Holy Alliance, but now there are special circumstances, we need to cut off the palms of those things in the human world and complete the unification process of the entire human race." ”

After saying this, the old man closed his mouth and waited quietly for an answer from the other side.

Rob glanced at Luo Luo, who took a few deep breaths, suppressed the tension in his heart, and said, "How many abyssal cracks are there in your country now?"

"Seven have been identified, and two are suspected, but just yesterday afternoon another one was ruled out, so it's seven and a half. "Pushkin deserves to be the prime minister of the empire, and there is no need to go through the records to report these data.

"What about the size?"

"Because of the different times of appearance, the longest is more than a mile in diameter, and the short one is less than 200 meters, but most of them are 3 or 400 meters. ”

Luo Luo calculated in her heart, although the number of abyssal cracks made people's scalps tingle, except for the longest one, which was more tricky, the rest were still under control, and it was possible to close them in four months if it went well, so she nodded to the old man.

"During Your Majesty's Eastern Crusade, we will do our best to help you solve the troubles caused by the abyssal rifts in your territory. ”
