The Grand Hall of the Palace of Babylon is magnificent, with white marble walls adorned with reliefs of kings and exotic birds, and myths and legends of gods and goddesses spreading their teachings painted on the ceiling for worship.

The conference hall adopts a fishbone staircase layout, and in the center of the hall is a well-made sand table, and the towns and cities of the entire orc kingdom and the deployment of the major legions are on the sand table, and it is obvious that this will be the theme of today's meeting.

At the end of the sand table, a large chair carved with a two-headed lion cast in gold stands out, and it is the seat of His Majesty Rysak.

Guards and retinues were forbidden to enter the main hall of the Conference, and Herbert, Panta, and Platinum were arranged to wait in the side hall.

Chang Hao and Anna entered the main hall, found a seat marked with Guangye and sat down, and saw the main priest Dante on the seat of the temple not far away, Chang Hao smiled and nodded, and the main priest Dante also responded with a smile.

This scene was watched by many nobles.

As the most famous legendary sacrifice in the Orc Kingdom, the main priest of Dante is equivalent to standing at the pinnacle of power, and he will respond to the greetings of a little viscount?

The nobles exchanged glances, and they had begun to secretly speculate about the relationship between the obscure viscount and the priest Dante. If the priest of Dante had only responded out of politeness, there was no need to worry. But if he is the new nobleman secretly propped up by the priest Dante, then they need to be taken seriously.

No fool would want to stand in opposition to a legendary priest.

Seeing that the viscount only greeted one chief priest, the swan chief priest and the Rhine lion chief priest who had been miserably snubbed both narrowed their eyes and cast a cold look at Chang Hao, only finding that the latter had only left the back of their heads for the two temple priests.

"Hehe, young people nowadays, they really dare to act. "The golden sacrificial robe of Raymond, the chief priest of the Rhine Lion Clan, was windless, and his tone was quite unkind.

Swan Priestess Smail snorted, a pair of white and sacred wings behind his back fluttering slightly, apparently he also thought that the young viscount was a little rude.

You only greet one of the three main priests, when the two of us don't exist or what?

"Isn't it nice that young people with ability can be arrogant and arrogant, and if the younger generation of the kingdom only learns to nod and bow down to us half-cut old fellows, can they still be expected to fight against the iron hooves of the human empire?"

Dante's voice was not loud but could be heard by everyone nearby, and the taste of protection in this sentence was almost explicit, hinting at the unusual relationship between the nobles and the young viscount.

On this side of the hall, Chang Hao is still deserting with Anna.

"Have the gods revealed their true bodies in Middle-earth?" Chang Hao asked Anna in a low voice, pointing to the portraits of the gods above his head.

"Uh... To be honest, there has never been. ”

Chang Hao pursed his lips and said, "It turns out that the images of these gods are all made up by you?

If someone else said this kind of thing and the temple knew about it, I am afraid that he would be directly burned at the stake after being labeled as a great rebel and blasphemous, but Anna has already learned the identity behind Chang Hao from her chief priest father, who has a father who is even more powerful than a god, and no one is more qualified to talk about this than him.

Anna swore that "the gods must exist." Do you think that the magic and war songs that circulated in Middle-earth did not gradually go from simple to complex, but suddenly emerged in a period of time, and this could not have been born out of thin air, right? Those powerful magic forbidden spells and magical beast war songs were all derived from the selfless teachings of the gods in the literature of many civilizations. ”

"For example, the warriors and priests of our orc kingdom have claimed to be the servants of Ares, the god of war, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, who have walked the earth, the human empire is blessed by Zeus, the god of thunder, Apollo, the god of the sun, and Prometheus, the prophet, the sea people believe in Poseidon, the god of the sea, the elves of the northern regions are descendants of Artenis, the goddess of the forest, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, and the dwarves of the iron hills, who are all fanatical followers of Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen. ”

Anna said with a delicate face, "The devout belief in the gods has saved our orc kingdom from danger many times in countless chapters in the history of Middle-earth. It's true that the gods never performed miracles, but so are the two best weapons that give us courage and war songs. Your Lord, you have not experienced those years of war, but please understand this faith. ”

Chang Hao raised his hand to surrender, and he really blamed him for talking too much in this matter.

Indeed, in the textual records of the various races, such as the development of magic and war songs, they do not follow a gradual path, but show a leap forward.

The magicians and priests of the Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom almost all comprehended the super forbidden spell and high-level war song at the same time, inexplicably, this kind of thing is difficult to explain with common sense, everyone thinks that it is a gift from the gods.

There is the Immortal Heavenly Court in the east, and there are the gods in the Divine Realm in the west, and it should be so.

Just when Chang Hao was paying Anna's compensation, the door of the conference hall was pushed open, and His Majesty Resak walked in with a solemn face, and the nobles who were still talking to each other were immediately silenced, and the entire hall echoed with His Majesty's heavy footsteps.

The Rhine Lion King, who relied on his military exploits to ascend to the throne, was resolute, and as soon as he sat down, he ordered the staff to start the meeting, and he directly threw a bombshell.

"The Spencer family, to which Prince Camus of the Human Empire belongs, does not agree to the terms of reparations we have proposed, and just yesterday they have declared a state of war. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, this is about to break out a war between the two countries?

The aristocracy, accustomed to a life of luxury, had not come to their senses for a while, and they had always felt that the war was too far away, too far away to be real. Because it has been more than a century since the last time the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire went to war.

His Majesty the King gave Herman, the Swan Air Marshal, who took over and continued, "Everyone knows that in the north of the kingdom, in addition to the human empire, there is also the desert country. According to the intelligence of our Swan Scout Force, it is very likely that they will open the door for the next move of the Human Empire. ”

Several combat staff officers set up markers on the sand table, and the red arrows representing the Human Empire passed down through the desert and pointed directly at the gateway to the orc kingdom, the Bright Field.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on the Bright Field Lord.

The corners of Chang Hao's eyes tightened, and what he was most worried about had happened.
