Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Empire Meeting!

Translator: 549690339

When the news of Molendon’s fall spread to the imperial capital, it immediately caused a huge uproar among the higher-ups. The emperors who liked to conquer the north also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately retreated into the northern defense, they recalled several famous generals and returned to the meeting immediately!

At this time, in the imperial capital’s Imperial Hall, the various northern military high-ups and the leaders of the mage families were gathered together!

The buildings in the north were not as exquisite as those in the south. Their workmanship was grand and vigorous, and they advocated the beauty of simplicity. However, the scale of the hall was much larger than the hall of the nobles in the southern province.

On a white jade conference table that was more than twenty meters long, the current emperor: Gavin. Augustus was wearing a mighty black armor and was sitting at the head of the conference table!

His height of nearly two meters allowed him to fully support the might of this armor. Under the crown, his expression was solemn, and he appeared to be full of pressure!

The surrounding atmosphere was also extremely solemn.

The conference table was still in accordance with the style of the Empire in the past. The generals sat in the left row, while the great mages of the family and the important ministers of the Empire’s cabinet sat in the right row!

Since ancient times, civil and military personnel had always treated each other lightly. This was still the case even in this prosperous empire that was united against the outside world. Most of the generals could not stand those pure politicians and mages, and the civil officials naturally could not stand those rude boors. In comparison.., they were more willing to deal with the elegant mage. This was not only a conflict between civil and military officials, but also a problem left behind by the old and New Forces of the Empire.

The king opened up territory and built cities by relying on the Loyal Knights of the family and the local generals and lords. The only way to gain a firm foothold was by relying on the mages and new nobles who had promised a large number of benefits and recruited them from behind.

This new arrival and his old subordinate who had made great contributions in the past formed two opposing forces. This continued for hundreds of years and formed the current political situation where the civil and military structure was obvious.

In the past meetings, the two sides would often quarrel before the matter had even begun to be discussed. This time, the atmosphere of the meeting was exceptionally harmonious. Both sides were listening to each other’s views on the situation.

This was because everyone knew the seriousness of this incident. There was no room for them to pit themselves against each other.

For the generals, the opening in the south had been opened. In order to take back Molundo, the northern front had to be tightened, and the solid walls and wild fields had to be cleared. If the orcs in the north and South cooperated with each other, they would also launch a large-scale attack, this could be said to be a huge pressure on them!

But even so, the recovery of Molonda in the south was still imperative!

Molonda’s terrain was unique. Because of the majestic pass outside, it had almost completely blocked the possibility of the orcs entering the human territory. From the Molonda Mountains all the way north, the fertile fields were thousands of miles, and almost every ten miles was a major grain production town, it was the most stable source of grain for the entire empire, and it was also the logistical guarantee for the northern warriors to be able to fight in peace!

Once Morondor fell, the terrain would be similar to that of the north where the orcs could come in and harass at any time. With the weak style that the south had developed over the years, it would be very difficult to organize an effective force to resist, and it would also greatly reduce the production of grain, this would have a great impact on the military intelligence of the north!

For the mages of the various great clans, once the gap in the south was opened, the Empire Avenue, which was a prosperous road of trade, would also be greatly affected. Most of the Mage Clans had connections with the clans that were previously in the western islands.., they relied on the empire’s local products to sell from the south to the north, earning huge profits. Once the security of the Empire Avenue was threatened, it would also have a huge impact on their interests.

All of these reasons caused both sides to almost instantly reach an agreement for the first time in 700 years without any negotiations and compromises: Molendo must be taken back! !

“How are the Beastmen’s military strength? How many tribes are participating in this operation this time? Do you have any accurate information?”Emperor Jiawen asked with a gloomy face.

His subordinates rolled their eyes. Such a sudden attack, without the help of magic, was all based on the testimonies of the knights who had escaped. How could they have any accurate information?

After a moment of silence.., the old knight on the left, who was wearing an honorary military badge, said in a deep voice, “According to the testimonies of the knights who had escaped, the orcs launched a night attack without any warning. By the time most of the Knights reacted, Molendor’s city wall had already been breached. Most of the knights were in a mess. It seems that the orcs didn’t spend much effort to take down Molendor this time!”

Gavin’s face darkened even more. He thought to himself, the south has been living a peaceful life for too long!

The so-called energy storm had rendered the arcane enchantment ineffective. The old Duke of Molendon should have been alert. After all, the old Duke Roosevelt was an old general who had retired in the Northern Army. It was obvious that his men had no sense of war to be so defenseless…

However, it made sense when he thought about it. Ever since the Five Great Southern tribes had failed to attack Molundo and suffered heavy losses seven hundred years ago, there had been no more attacks by the orcs against Molundo in the past seven hundred years. A few hundred years of peace… It would be strange if they had war awareness…

“But I think that the number of orcs invading this time shouldn’t be much!”The old Duke who had just spoken said in a deep voice.

“What do you mean?”The emperor’s eyes lit up.

“The energy storm this time is clearly an accident. If the beastmen had mastered such a thing, the attack this time would not be limited to Molonda alone. If the beastmen had sufficient forces this time, the news of Cordoville’s emergency or even fall would have come long ago!”

“That makes sense…”the emperor nodded slowly.

“Then who could it be?”The great mage sitting at the head of the table on the right asked in puzzlement, “According to the intelligence, Molundo was attacked on the second night after the energy storm. who was so decisive in organizing this invasion?”

“Who else could it be?”Jiawen sneered, “Of course it’s our wolf child chief…”

Everyone nodded. In the southern tribes, he was probably the only one who had such boldness.

“Then according to your deduction, if we organize a wave of fast-moving vanguard troops now, will we have a chance to quickly take back the city?”Garwin asked.

The old Duke shook his head and said, “The possibility is too small. For so many years, we have relied too much on magic communications. The south no longer has the habit of raising carrier pigeons, but the orcs have the means to raise birds to send messages. They have taken down Molundo, so they will naturally send a message to request for backup. We have only received the news after so long. By the time we organize our troops, the reinforcements from the orcs will most likely have arrived.”. “…”

“In other words… We’re still going to fight the five southern tribes head-on?”Jiawen’s expression became more and more unsightly.

“It’s hard to say…”. The old Duke shook his head and said, “In any case, the Thunder tribe and Blackwater tribe will definitely not give up this opportunity. As for the more peaceful Earth tribe and the sparsely populated fire tribe, whether they can be persuaded to participate in the war will depend on our wolf child chief’s diplomatic ability.” “…”. “…”

“I remember… Hotell that guy…”the king said gloomily, “He has a good relationship with the elders of the Fire clan.”

“So the situation this time is not optimistic…”the old duke said seriously, “If the Fire clan participates in the war, we must increase the high-end combat strength on our side. It is estimated that we need at least ten Gold Knights!”

“Ten…”the king became a little embarrassed, ten Gold Knights were almost half of the high-end combat forces in the north. Once they were transferred, the high-end combat forces in the north would be reduced by half. If the north and the south joined hands this time, it would be a problem whether the north could hold on!

“Your Majesty, don’t worry too much…”. The old duke smiled and said, “The recruitment of Gold Knights is to ensure the safety of the great wizards accompanying them. This battle will not be a long-term battle. After all, the inner wall of the Empire is far inferior to the outer wall of the Molendu Empire. It is impossible for it to withstand the magic attacks of the great wizards. As for the north, Our Steel War Empire has stood for so many years, relying on the thick city walls and arcane weapons. As long as there are enough mages, it is not a problem for us to protect ourselves.” “…”

The expressions of the mages on the right became much better. When they heard the old Duke say that the south relied too much on magic communication, their expressions became gloomy. Now, they nodded to themselves. This old duke sure knows how to talk.., no wonder he could make both forces obey his commands in the north.

As expected of the Grand Marshal of the three dynasties…

Looking at the people who nodded in agreement with him, the old Duke maintained his confidence, but he sighed in his heart: The Empire has no successor!

Including this generation’s king, the old Duke actually did not think highly of him. Jiawen seemed to be a martial artist, but his aptitude was actually mediocre, and he did not have the military talent that he thought he had.

In comparison, the Beastman chieftain who was able to decisively lead the tribe to launch a surprise attack on Molendu made him extremely wary. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: how great would it be if our steel warrior empire could have such a figure… …
