Yes, Your Excellency the Speaker! / This Plan Can Bring Gaul Back from the Dead!
Under his command, countless meteorites, wind, fire, and lightning struck the invading enemy like beautiful musical notes.
That day, all of Terra knew who the greatest Originium mage in the world was...
"The greatest Originium Mage is none other than me, Master Huang!"
Seeing that the Witch King had finally made a move, Huang Cao could no longer contain his excitement.
This is just like mediating a fight in a game. Once all six adults have been injured or crippled, it's time for the mice to step in. Besides, Master Huang is a fully equipped and powerful figure.
They tried to mediate, but Huang Cao was fully equipped to do so!
The Witch King, having finished his spell, was about to rest when, just a few hours later, thick smoke billowed from the distant land once again.
A whole bunch of High-speed Battleship suddenly appeared out of nowhere, leaving the Witch King dumbfounded.
Which country is this from?
Wait... this logo...
The flagpoles of the distant High-speed Battleship bore patterns of intertwined ears of wheat, which immediately reminded the Witch King of the recently emerged nation.
Utopia...
The Witch King claimed that he was a recluse, but he could hear the voices of his people and was also very familiar with the situation in foreign countries.
The voices of the Leithanian had little effect on him; he figured he'd just let the people suffer and he'd bear the blame.
For the Witch King, these voices were insignificant compared to the crisis looming over the land.
But now we have no choice but to listen, because the power that Utopia has demonstrated exceeds everyone's imagination.
It is in no way inferior to a superpower.
Even each of their High-speed Battleship was a size larger than those of the Gaul, and they were extremely fast.
The Gaul fleet, already weakened by the magical attack, was further annihilated by Utopia's onslaught.
And their charging momentum showed no signs of slowing down. Utopia's High-speed Battleship swept past the Gaul troops and headed straight for Leithanian, leaving the Witch King dumbfounded.
Witch King: Oh no, they're charging at us!
"My warriors, we will not only conquer Gaul, but also Leithanian!"
I want the land of both countries!
Who told you that Master Huang only divided up Gaul?
The bold get rich, the timid starve. My dignified Utopia has been lying low for so long, not here to eat such a small dish.
The Witch King continued casting spells, trying to repeat his old tricks, but suddenly he found that the spell towers around him seemed to be ineffective.
It turns out that Leithanian's spell tower can only supply the Witch King with one world-destroying spell. Once cast, it requires a lot of time to recharge.
Otherwise, if they could release them without limit, then this country would truly be invincible.
Leithanian now also has Mobile City, and the Witch King stands at the highest point of one of these Mobile City, watching the Utopian fleet rushing toward him.
Left with no other choice, the Witch King was forced to abandon more land and continue his strategic retreat inland.
There are even more warlock towers over there that I can use.
Thus, the Witch King, who was humiliated in just half a day, experienced what shame truly meant for the first time.
We really can't beat them!
With so many High-speed Battleship, how could he possibly fight them head-on?
The Witch King was ultimately still a mortal, and faced with the High-speed Battleship of Gaul and Utopia, he could only temporarily avoid their sharp edge, while sending letters of appeal to various countries for help.
Or rather, the Elector of Leithanian had already issued the decree, but now the Witch King's personal letter has been added.
In this single battle, Huang Cao almost bloodlessly destroyed Gaul's elite forces and seized nearly 30% of Leithanian's territory, and the gains continued to grow.
However, it is foreseeable that as the plea for help is sent, Utopia will face more and more enemies in the future.
"Keep attacking, keep advancing, never stop!"
Huang Cao and his people made their choice, because it was not only a fight for the country, but also a fight for their inner beliefs.
An army with a belief in justice is sacred and invincible.
Huang Cao conveyed his philosophy of being kind to the people to every piece of land the army passed through.
The Gaul Wars were not just; they were merely a result of unequal distribution and greed between empires.
Chapter 238 Yes! The Speaker!
This indirectly led to the country eventually being dismantled and annexed by multiple countries.
Two weeks after Utopia joined the war, Ursus announced its entry into the battlefield, but did not declare any adversary.
Because this country did not understand who its enemy was until the moment its army set off, all the choices it made were driven by its greedy nature.
Victoria: Hahaha! I was so caught up in repaying the Speaker's kindness that I didn't catch my breath, so how far have we gotten now?
And how could Victoria be left out of a multi-national war?
My reputation as the great Terra troublemaker is well-deserved.
Even without the Speaker's orders, the nobles of this country would not hesitate in the slightest.
Especially since Leithanian even asked Victoria for help!
So when Ursus arrived at the border of Leithanian, Victoria also joined the battle with her High-speed Battleship.
But...
A Victoria nobleman held up a telescope, looking at Ursus in the distance, making no attempt to hide the shock in his eyes.
"Is this a war or a refugee migration?"
The Ursus army was the largest of all the participating nations, but they had almost all walked here.
It's not that there weren't any High-speed Battleship, but there were only two, and they were traveling at extremely slow speeds, followed by a large, ragged support force.
High-speed Battleship race ahead while support troops chase behind – it's a truly bizarre sight on Terra, not the kind of discipline a modern army should display.
No, it shouldn't be like that.
The military commanders present all considered the possibility that Ursus did not consider the refugees behind them to be human beings at all.
It is quite possible that this country's industrial strength is not very strong, and may even be the weakest among the major powers.
So who should we attack?
The Emperor of Ursus looked at his ministers, his tone filled with scrutiny.
The nobles below looked at each other, and to be honest, they didn't know who to attack.
Utopia is no match for Leithanian, which relies on its mage towers; a rash attack would likely be suicide.
As for Victoria...
Isn't Ursus just throwing their lives away by facing Victoria right now?
It's important to understand that the reason Ursus truly became powerful in the story was precisely because it gained a large amount of Gaul during the War of the Four Emperors, which gave the Ursus emperor the power to mediate domestic conflicts.
And this led to the initiation of modern industrialization. Today, Ursus, just like the previous Master Huang in the official history, is the weakest link of imperialism.
So it's no wonder that Victoria and Leithanian look down on this country.
That is precisely why Ursus would not let go of any opportunity to make a difference.
They cannot defeat any of the world's major powers, and they might even be defeated by smaller countries.
Ursus's status as a major power is entirely due to its Inner Guards, vast territory, and easily defensible terrain.
The future strength of this country is ultimately only in the future, and even this only chance to become powerful is about to be seized by Utopia.
"I think we can first unite with other countries to attack Gaul. This country is now at its last gasp. Its army and fleets of High-speed Battleship were instantly defeated by the Witch King's magic. According to intelligence, the remaining Gaul forces have all retreated to their homeland."
The emperor's advisor analyzed.
Clearly, the situation on the battlefield is no longer under Gaul's control.
In just a few months, Gaul went from victors to vanquished.
"Your Majesty, we cannot hesitate any longer!"
Several princes and ministers of the Emperor of Ursus knelt on one knee, their greed no longer concealed.
Gaul, which was the most powerful nation in all of Terra six months ago, is now locked in a stalemate with Leithanian.
"Issue my order: all army groups shall march to Gaul! The first battle shall be the decisive one, to conquer a vast territory for our empire!"
Two High-speed Battleship, followed by hundreds of thousands of gray-headed beasts of burden, sailed in a grand procession toward the border of Gaul.
At the same time, Utopia's High-speed Battleship merged with Victoria's warships.
At this moment, the lower council member belonging to Master Huang knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"The Speaker, Victoria's troops have assembled and are awaiting your instructions."
Looking at the councilors kneeling before him, Huang Cao took a deep breath and sat on his throne.
King Victoria and Queen Victoria were also standing in the audience.
The two Aslan were completely ignored by everyone, kneeling tremblingly below the stage, even trying to hide behind the councilors and try their best to make their presence less noticeable.
Now, Victoria's "king" is this speaker; what say does she have?
Under the old constitutional system, King Victoria might have had some say, but now all the power belongs to the Speaker.
King Aslan was stripped of all his power, both in the military and in finance, and even the hearts of the people were gone.
Huang Cao didn't care about the two lions and said in a casual tone, "Now that everyone is here, let me share my thoughts. First of all, we must stop Ursus from going to Gaul. We absolutely cannot let that stupid bear take even a centimeter of land!"
In the original storyline, Ursus rose to become a true superpower by seizing the wealth and land of Gaul.
I must completely interrupt this process, otherwise I will definitely have another enemy in the future.
Moreover, the Emperor of Ursus did not bring his Inner Guards with him when he went on campaign. This force mainly deals with domestic affairs and basically does not concern itself with foreign affairs unless there is a real threat to the rule of Ursus.
The members of parliament below said in unison, "Please give the order, Speaker!"
Very good, very energetic.
"Listen to my orders, Victoria's side is responsible for blocking the Ursus attack and keeping them out of Gaul's borders as much as possible. Based on my judgment, their fighting strength is not very strong; they just want to take advantage of the chaos."
"As for Gaul, I will personally lead my troops to bring you a great victory, and I will also give you corresponding benefits. You can always trust me."
According to established international standards, once a country is destroyed, the remaining process of dividing the spoils simply involves determining how much territory each country can occupy within a given timeframe.
"Understood, Your the Speaker."
The Victorians had complete faith in their the Speaker's methods of dividing the cake.
Moreover, he only needs to intercept the relatively weaker Ursus. Even the heavily damaged Leithanian and Gaul are not something that the Ursus expeditionary force can defeat.
That's why they wanted to unite with other countries to attack Gaul. If it came down to sheer strength, it would be a miracle if this Ursus army could even defeat the remnants of the Gaul.
How dare two High-speed Battleship go on expeditions abroad?
Chapter 239 This plan can restore Gaul from darkness to light!
Faced with attacks from multiple countries, the Emperor of Gaul was suddenly at a loss.
They regurgitated all the land they had swallowed, and the remaining army quickly led the emperor back to the country.
But wars don't just end when you want to.
Whether it was Lecania or Gaul, and whoever won the war, neither country could remain uninvolved.
"Issue my order: the fleet is to advance at full speed toward Gaul. I intend to completely annex this country!"
Huang Cao was absolutely ecstatic, leading his fleet straight towards Gaul.
Gaul also fought back fiercely. After all, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. The elite of the country had not been completely wiped out, and the remnants, once united, were still a considerable force.
Especially after retreating to Gaul, they fought a defensive war.
Fighting defensive battles in this world is much simpler than in my previous life.
