Chapter 365: Holy City Council

The city where the Holy See Chapel is located is usually called "Holy City" by the world. As for its original name, it has long been forgotten by the world. As for now, it has a very ordinary-sounding name, but it is iconic and unique - Bright City.

Today, when the Mainland Hundred Ethnic Alliance was established, Guangming City is also the core of the Hundred Ethnic Alliance. Dealing with daily tasks, treating seriously ill patients, and discussing important matters are all held here.

And on this day, it was several bigwigs of the alliance who discussed the orc race's strong invasion of the human empire - everyone is not stupid, and they will not feel that this orc operation is very problematic.

In the words of the Archbishop of the Temple of Light, who presided over the meeting, according to the movement of the orc army, this was a premeditated and all-powerful military operation - this time even the orc emperor was dispatched, and the orc emperor himself was the commander-in-chief of the orc expedition. The old and weak women and children of the orc clan are guarded by troops that occupy half of the strength of the entire army. And the rest of the forces are all following the Orc Emperor's southern expedition - they will not return north easily this time. Everyone present had this clear understanding in their hearts.

So why the hell is it? The orcs went crazy south only after the establishment of the Continental Alliance. That's the question that bothers all of you. Everyone knows that orcs are not brainless, uncivilized creatures who only know killing and violence. That's why I can't understand the actions of the orcs.

However, the meeting on speculation that the orcs would act like this had already begun. The theme of this meeting is......

How should we respond to the actions of the orcs?

In the evening of the day after the breach of the fortress of Greene. The Emperor of the Spring Leader sent a letter asking for help to the City of Light. Ask the Alliance to expel the orc army that has invaded the Spring Lord. And the reason is. If you let the Orcs attack. Harunogen will lose a lot, and the alliance will lose a lot of things. For example, resources, power, reputation, and the trust of allies in each other.

Of course.

At the time of the Alliance's founding, the three major empires, including the Spring Lord, pledged to provide the Alliance with the resources and combat power it needed for the Alliance. As a member of the Alliance, the Spring Leader side can get help from other members of the Alliance according to the Alliance.

In fact, after receiving a letter from the Emperor of the Spring Lord, the City of Light mobilized the Knights of Light and the Priest team overnight. In the early morning of the third day, after the whole team was completed, they rushed to the spring field. The team that starts from the City of Light will grow by a point as they pass through the cities with cathedrals along the way, and the last team to reach the Spring Territory will undoubtedly be a team of elites with a small number of people.

When the Cult of Light reinforcements arrived at the Spring Territory battlefield, the orc legion's advance stopped.

But the reason they stopped was not because they were being blocked by the Cult of the Illuminati, but because they suddenly began to switch to a defensive formation and then stopped moving.

At first, the Harunojo didn't understand what was going on, and defended as if it were facing a great enemy. At this time, Cardinal Ferguson, who was in charge of leading the team of the Cult of Light, made a request to the other party to negotiate once. However, it was rejected by the other party on the grounds that "the orc emperor has not yet arrived, and he does not dare to assert himself".

I thought this was an excuse that the other side had no intention of making peace talks, but the day after the negotiation failed. From the mouths of the spies, they heard that the Orc Emperor himself led a large army south, and was about to arrive at the battlefield ahead. Bishop Ferguson realized that the other party was not lying. The Orc Emperor did indeed personally lead the army to the south.

After reaching the front line, the orcs dispatched their troops and unabashedly, under the noses of the enemy, little by little, to prepare for war.

The news that the Orc Emperor had come to the front line reached the city of light even earlier than he himself had arrived at the front.

So there was this meeting in the City of Light.

As for how the orcs should respond to the southern expedition, everyone at the meeting had their own ideas.

In the eyes of the Rain Lords and the people of the Atiro Empire, the Orc Clan's southern expedition would eventually fail anyway. So it's better to let them weaken the strength of the Spring Lords a little more. So at the meeting, they put forward the idea of "waiting and seeing". And under the excellent eloquence of the representatives of the Rain Lord, there are still some voices that agree with this proposal.

In contrast to this proposal, it is believed that the orc army should be punished and beaten back. The reason is also very simple, the first point is that the orcs did not agree to the alliance's request when they were invited by the alliance to join the alliance. The second is that they didn't fight sooner rather than later, but soon after the alliance was formed, they carried out such a big operation - these two reasons add up to make people wonder if the orc clan's actions are incompatible with the alliance. Moreover, the Spring Lords are an important force in the Alliance. For the sake of the strength of the alliance, it is imperative to help them.

There were a few more people in the meeting who agreed with this view than the previous one.

However, there is another, more drastic point of view than the second one.

- "'If you go outside, you must first settle inside', and we must not let the orcs stab us in the back when we attack that side." So even if we are sorry for the orcs, we must also eliminate the insecurity that the orcs have brought us. "This is the point of view, the original words of the elven patriarch. The underlying meaning of her words is undoubtedly to hit the orcs hard and make the orcs collapse. And her views have been shared by some people, including dragons and dwarves.

However, the opinion of the elven patriarch was vetoed by the Star Palace Priest and Alpha. Their proposal was to let Alpha, the strongest of the demigod powerhouses, act as a representative of a third-party force and negotiate with the orcs first. See what the other person has to say. It's better to decide how to do it then.

In the end, this point of view was agreed by the majority of the people. So, at this very time when Eco went to save Nora. Alpha took Archbishop Ferguson with him to the gates of the city occupied by the orcs.

However, after asking about the position represented by Alpha, Alpha's request for negotiation to the orc clan was rejected by the Orc Emperor.

"We do have the intention of negotiating with the Continental Union, but not as we do now, but we want both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and discuss the future together. This conversation is very important, as it will determine the final actions of the orcs, as well as their fate. "—These are the words of the Orc Emperor. (To be continued.) )
