Low Dimensional Game

In the city of Niah, inside the palace hall, on the seats on both sides, a large number of high-ranking officials of the empire whispered to each other. The atmosphere was very tense, and many people were arguing and noisy. The intelligence on the border and the request of the Holy Sewell Empire were also delivered to the city of Niah. , and limited the time for the Crete Empire to make a decision.

Prime Minister Tambur's face was uncertain. After all, he was the main advocate of the "Orc Slave Act" that the Holy Sewell Empire demanded to be abolished, and he was also the target of the other party's claim for responsibility.

The army of the Holy Seville Empire had the greatest impact on the city, and it was him. Everyone would not remember that when the orc slave act was passed, most of the people present were beneficiaries, but they would only remember that he brought them The one who caused war and disaster.

Many officials and nobles sent by the emperor continued to express unfavorable remarks against Prime Minister Tambur, and Emperor Zolman II continued to make small moves in private. He was not only dissatisfied with his uncle , but hatred, once there is any chance, Zolman II will immediately get rid of him and regain his rights.

On the table in the center, there is a map of the Cretan Empire and the direction of the Holy Sewell Empire. Many generals and nobles gathered together, and it is estimated that if the Holy Sewell Empire really invades, it will start from That route entered the territory of the Cretan Empire.

"The Cretan Empire claims to have an army of 800,000. According to our calculations and information, there should be an army of 340,000, among which there are more than 100,000 knights. Such an elite army and such a huge army are fighting. Between them, it’s hard to deal with.”

"300,000 to 400,000 troops, they can only enter from here, and here, two routes, other places, simply cannot accommodate so many troops to advance, and are vulnerable to our interception and interception, they will only enter from these two routes. Starting from two routes, the most likely one is to go straight down along the Red River Plain, pass through the Dips Grand Canyon, and then all the way to Didunia from here, all of which are unimpeded."

Immediately someone said: "But in front of us, we have a total of more than a dozen cities and several unbreakable fortress cities. Even if we respond in a hurry, as long as we launch a war mobilization, we can mobilize enough soldiers to deal with this war. We have no fear of the invasion of the Holy Seville Empire."

"That's right, we also have powerful soldiers and legions. We are the powerful Cretan Empire, and we are not afraid of any enemies."

At this time, Cardinal Leon, the cardinal of the Illuminati Church who was sitting in the back, stood up. He was wearing a solemn red and black-edged robe with the sacred sun pattern embroidered on the front and back, and looked at everyone present at the moment: "I am here today. , to represent the opinion of the Pope, to announce that the Church of Light will not participate in this war."

There was an uproar at the scene. The support of the Church of Light and the church legion were very important to the Crete Empire, and the Church of Light directly declared that it would not support this war. For the Crete Empire, it lost a powerful force and support.

At this time, Emperor Zolman II stood up: "Why is there a war? Have you asked all the nobles present and the civilians of the entire Crete Empire for their opinions?"

"What we need is peace and stability. Why do we have to make such a stupid choice for such a stupid thing? We can choose to live in peace with the Holy Seville Empire instead of..."

Zolman II strongly criticized Prime Minister Tanbur, and most of the nobles also began to move. It was not in their interests to start such a war, and it was completely unnecessary. Although many of them were Prime Minister Tanbur’s cronies , but they each have their own positions and interests, instead of working hard for Tanbur.

At this time, a guard rushed in from outside the city, holding a letter from Arabel Province in his hand.

"It's a letter from Earl Teeter!"

"Has the orc slave rebellion in the Arabelle Province come to fruition?"

The emperor immediately accepted the letter from the guards. Earl Teeter is the nephew of Tambur and the cousin of Emperor Zorman, but he is indeed a staunch ally on the side of the Duke of Tambur. This time the suppression of the Arabel orcs It was he who was responsible for the mutiny.

He is unhurriedly and steadily destroying the rebellion in the Arabel province, and at the same time constantly weakening the power of Emperor Zolman II in the Arabel province. When he completely wipes out the rebellion, I am afraid that the entire Arab Bell was no longer the former Arabel who belonged to the royal family, which made Zolman II hate his cousin so much.

But seeing his letter at this moment, his face is full of smiles. As long as Earl Tite quells the rebellion and negotiates and trades with the Holy Sewell Empire with these 200,000 slaves, thereby weakening the power and influence of the Duke of Tambor, It was Zolman II's goal to even pull him down from the position of prime minister.

However, after reading the letter, Zolman II's face changed from a smile to livid, and he didn't even notice that the letter had slipped from his fingertips, while a strange smile appeared on Duke Temple's face.

The Duke of Temple picked up the letter, looked at it, and passed it on to all the nobles around him. He leaned on a cane with both hands, and kept tapping the gem on the cane with his fingers: "We have no chance for peace talks!"

"A battle between humans and orcs is unavoidable. When we receive this letter, those orcs at the border should also receive the news at the same time. They will immediately cross the border and start a war against us."

"Gentlemen, there is no time to hesitate. I suggest that a war mobilization order be drafted immediately to deal with this war."

Maple Leaf City is low-lying, located at the corner of the lower reaches of the Namei River. It was originally a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and rivers, but at this moment, the entire valley and within a hundred miles have turned into a swampy area.

There are corpses floating everywhere on the surface of the water. A large number of corpses have been soaked into pale white and emit a stench. On the surface of the water, such corpses stretch all the way to the sky. The boats couldn't move, and everyone who observed this miserable situation vomited heavily.

A few fishing boats carried more than a dozen soldiers and rowed into the city. Along the way, thousands of dead people passed by them continuously. The oars beat against the bodies of these dead people. cling to the corners of their clothes.

Even the sun in the sky seems to have dimmed when it arrived here. A chilling and creepy atmosphere eroded their bodies. It seemed that there was no living person in the entire Maple Leaf City. They seemed to hear dozens of Thousands of undead screamed and screamed in the sky.

"This, this is simply hell!"

"Is what Master Tite did right? Hundreds of thousands of lives."

"The evil deeds of these orcs in Arabel deserve their hell!"

"But this..."

They stood up, and the boat passed by the tip of the arrow tower of the Maple Leaf City wall that was looming, and stood in the center of this vast swamp, as if in the whole world, countless corpses were lined up densely around them, and no one could be seen. The figure of the living, this is the world of the dead.

This is the place where the Nami River in the design city was originally diverted, connecting canals, together with several large lakes, passing through the Cretan Empire, and finally converging to the Red River. It flooded the entire Maple Leaf City, and drowned all the hundreds of thousands of orcs hiding in Maple Leaf City.

Without costing a single soldier and without any casualties, Earl Tite easily killed hundreds of thousands of orcs who relied on the fortified city to defend. If they attacked by force, Earl Tite's tens of thousands of regular troops and knights wanted to take down Maple Leaf City. I am afraid that more soldiers and support will be needed, and it will take longer and costly casualties to take this city.

But at this moment, Earl Tite solved his enemy with the fastest and most convenient speed. Hundreds of thousands of orcs were swept away by the torrential flood in panic and disbelief.
