Southward! (11)

April 1, X767, Kushen City, Royal Palace, Government Hall

"Your Majesty, we have just received an emergency report that the enemy has breached Michel City and is rapidly moving towards Kushen City. (Prime Minister)"

"What? (Ralori)"

"Michel City fell? What is Three-Feathered Crows doing? Why didn't you launch a surprise attack on Erus's army? (Ralori)"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold Three-Feathered Crows accountable. The top priority is to come up with a way to solve the crisis. (Prime Minister)"

"Of course I know this! But now our country's two most powerful armies have been wiped out, Three-Feathered Crows is missing, and Magic Council has quietly evacuated. What do you want me to think of? (Ralori)"

"Your Majesty, not long ago, I received news that His Majesty Pallet met with His Majesty Duchy of Veronica and Kingdom of Kaelum, and formed Northern Alliance to jointly fight against the invasion of the Erus Kingdom. (Prime Minister)"

"Prime Minister, I have asked Pallet for help, but it doesn't work at all! (Ralori)"

"Your Majesty, I am not asking you to ask for help from His Majesty Pallet, but I am asking you to follow the example of His Majesty Pallet, form an alliance, and use the power of other countries to resist the invasion of Erus."

After the prime minister finished speaking, Ralori nodded first, then shook his head.

"No! No! (Ralori)"

"Kingdom of Kaelum and Duchy of Veronica in the north are not weak. Northern Alliance formed by the three of them, Pallet, may indeed be able to block Erus's attack. But in the south, It's just us and Kingdom of Stellara. Now our country has lost most of its territory and its national strength is exhausted, and Kingdom of Stellara is weak. Even if we form an alliance, we can't stop Erus Kingdom's attack (Ralori)."

"Furthermore, even if we want to form an alliance to fight Erus Kingdom together, Kingdom of Stellara may not agree to this request. (Ralori)"

"So this plan won't work, let's think of another way! (Ralori)"

Seeing that the only possible way to turn the crisis into safety was given up by the king, the Prime Minister was unwilling to become the subject of the country's subjugation, and once again spoke to advise His Majesty the King. (After Old Suo eliminated Milantes, it gave Zaka high-ranking officials generous salaries and reduced all ministers to civilians. Therefore, the kings on Ishgar who were about to be destroyed did not have strong resistance. On the contrary, the ministers of various countries were unwilling to surrender and advocated fighting to the end)

(PS: The king of Kingdom of Stellara is not among the above-mentioned kings. After all, if he is caught by Old Suo, he will inevitably die!) (PPS: Although the king of Kingdom of Stellara does not know that Old Suo knows his details, he still thinks so.)

"Your Majesty..."

The Prime Minister had just spoken, but before he could say what he had prepared for a long time, he was interrupted by the announcement coming from outside the palace door.

"Your Majesty, Kingdom of Stellara's special envoy, Gerard Mr. Wu Sixiu'er asks for an audience!"

After hearing the report outside the door, two voices of surprise came from the hall.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, it seems that the king of Kingdom of Stellara is a sensible person!"

"Haha! I didn't expect that the Prime Minister and I would think about it together. We really have the same ideas!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

After thanking him, the Prime Minister continued, "Your Majesty, we have something to ask for from others, so I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable to leave other people's envoys alone like this, right?"

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Ralori smiled and shook his head, and then shouted outside the palace, "We invite the Kingdom of Stellara special envoy, Gerard Wu Sixiu'er!"

"Yes!"

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the corridor, and then, the closed door of the palace was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe was led into the palace.

"Kingdom of Stellara special envoy, Gerard Wu Sixiuer, has met King of Cushen!"

"Your Majesty, please arise!"

"Thank you King of Cushen!"

After Gerard stood up, Ralori asked, "I wonder why your envoy came to our country this time?"

"King of Cushen, I came to your country this time in compliance with His Majesty's order to discuss forming an alliance with King of Cushen to jointly fight against the Erus Kingdom."

After hearing Gerard's words, Ralori and the Prime Minister looked at each other, and then Ralori said, "Your Majesty, it seems that your country has no grudges against the Erus Kingdom, and King Erus has not said that he will attack your country, right?"

"King of Cushen, you are right. There is indeed no grudge between our country and Erus Kingdom. King Erus did not say that he would attack our country, but this does not mean that our country Will not be invaded. After all, King Erus is a capable man of action who likes to show his abilities and ideas to others through actions, just like he did to your country and Milantes."

After Gerard finished speaking, applause sounded in the hall.

"Papa"

"Papa"

"Haha! If there were wise men like your ambassador in our country, I'm afraid the fate of our country would not be what it is now! (Ralori)"

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely true! (Prime Minister)"

"King of Cushen, Prime Minister, this is an outrageous compliment. Gerard is so shameless!"

"Haha! Your Majesty, since Lord Gerard has made his words clear, let's quickly discuss the alliance and jointly fight against the Erus army! (Prime Minister)"

"Haha! Okay! Then just follow what you said! (Ralori)"

Saint Peterrek Town, Thirteenth Heavenly King Guard camp

"Brother, I heard that you were attacked by unknown persons at Cabria Plains and suffered heavy damage."

After hearing Divine Constable Di's question, several senior officials of the Southeast Front looked at His Majesty the King.

"Yes, we were attacked at Cabria, and there were a lot of casualties. (Old Suo)"

"What? Is this actually true? It seems that Heavenly King Guard's selection criteria are still set low. After returning, we need to improve them again. (Diphiya)"

Compared with Divine Constable Di's peculiar focus, the questions raised by the other three kings are much more normal.

"Bad boy, are there many casualties? Do you need us to help you replenish your troops? (Kaldiz)"

"Master, you haven't been assassinated, have you? (Murellia)"

"Master, have you caught those assassins? (Lindel)"

Hearing everyone's concern, Old Suo smiled and said, "During the attack, there were indeed casualties, but later I used Healing Magic to treat the wounded, so there was no attrition., so you don't need to help us replenish our troops. Furthermore, the three assassins were seriously injured by Brother Yesveta and fled away not long after they committed the attack, so I was not attacked and was safe!"

After learning the follow-up news of the incident, the three kings all breathed a sigh of relief, while a certain divine catcher was still struggling with the selection conditions.

"You bastard, now that the old story is over, should we discuss our next actions? (Sage Dragon)"

"Well! Uncle Belserion is right, we should discuss how to attack next! (Old Suo)" (PS: When there are no outsiders, Old Suo calls Sage Dragon uncle Sage Dragon, and when outsiders are present, he should call Belserion, or uncle Belserion)

"Boss, right ahead is Kingdom of Cushen's royal city. Let's just attack it with our troops and capture that King of Cushen guy alive, right? (Heradi)"

"Yes, young master, can't we just attack in directly? (Lindel)"

Although the others didn't speak, they stared at His Majesty the King with "that's how it should be" eyes.

Looking at the people who were brought into the ditch by Heradi, King Erus had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Kaipel Sand before.

"Oh! So that's it, then you really need to think carefully about how to win Kushen City! (Mevajena)"

Just as everyone was thinking hard, a report from outside the tent attracted everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, the reconnaissance camp has reported back that a large number of troops of unknown origin have appeared in the south of Kushen City."

"I know, let's get down! (Old Suo)"

"Yes!"

After the sentry retreated, the smart Royal Knights Commander suddenly realized and said, "Why don't Kingdom of Cushen surrender? It turns out they have reinforcements!"

"If I guess correctly, it should be the army of Kingdom of Stellara. (Kaldiz)"

"Hmph! We didn't provoke it, but it came over to provoke us. It's really boring! (Diphiya)"

"Haha! Divine Constable Di, he is not tired of living, but he is very smart. He knew that after we solved Kushen, he would look for it, so he took a preemptive strike! (Sordil)"

"Hmph! That's fine. If we deal with them here, we can take over two countries at once! (Sage Dragon)"

After everyone expressed their opinions, His Majesty the King came out to beat them at the right time.

"Everyone, please don't be careless. This Kingdom of Stellara is not as simple as it looks."

"Brother, you didn't lie to us, right? (Diphiya)"

Hearing Divine Constable Di's words, His Majesty the King said coldly, "Humph! You still have the nerve to say that if it hadn't been for your carelessness at the beginning, this difficult problem Kingdom of Stellara wouldn't have arisen now."

After His Majesty the King finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and Divine Constable Di, who was involved, pointed at himself with his right hand and said in disbelief, "Brother, what does this have to do with me? You can't blame it like this!"

"Should I blame you? Okay! Then I'll have a good fight with you and see who you blame for this! (Old Suo)"

"Hmph! I want to see how this Kingdom of Stellara became the trouble caused by me! (Diphiya)"

After calling the shots, Old Suo woke everyone up and began to reveal Kingdom of Stellara's old secrets bit by bit, exposing Divine Constable Di's crimes to everyone.
