Chapter 1596 Crisis-Driven Meeting
The situation took a turn for the worse, leaving old Mr. Kawei little time to hesitate.
Although only one main force has been defeated now, there are only six main armies of the same level or stronger in the old man's hands. If one was crippled in one breath, it meant that he had lost one-sixth of his strength.
It’s not that there are no armies active outside of the main army. But the purpose of these small troops is to play a role and do logistics. They cannot fight a tough battle, let alone the opponent is a demon. With their equipment level, whether they can break through the defense is a question.
This is also because when fighting against demons, if you can't win a big victory, kill the demons and take the lead in cleaning up the battlefield. Then the wounded soldiers and the dead are likely to become sacrifices, summoning more demons to come to the Lost Land.
In order to ensure victory in every battle, the old Duke Kawei reorganized his army and formed six main groups. These six main forces are all based on the regular legions of the Gwana Empire as the backbone. Together with the auxiliary troops who are properly trained and trustworthy, they have indeed achieved outstanding results on the battlefield north of the mountain range.
Now that one of them is broken in one breath, the old man will be so angry that he will vomit blood.
But this result is by no means the end. Old Kaweigong knows that the devil has found a way to defeat mankind. This method is also very simple, that is, there are enough Lords of the Abyss to withstand the four Haikiri people, and there are still manpower to attack the human troops.
Except for the support and defense of the magic tower, the human army is vulnerable to the fifth Lord of the Abyss. In order to prevent the remaining main force from being defeated by the same method, they also retreated into the protection range of the magic tower under the order.
But this is also not reassuring. Because the main army is shrinking in defense, it means that they are in a divided state and have clear goals.
The devil commander's next move will definitely be to kill enemies and demolish towers. That's what he would choose. Thinking of the opponent in the demon camp, Old Kaweigong did not think that the opponent was a brainless fool who could not seize the opportunity.
In other words, if he has any game-breaking moves in his hand, he must use them immediately. Time is not on humanity's side.
Will the defeat of a main force be enough for the opponent to summon the sixth and seventh Lord of the Abyss? The old man only had four uncontrollable cards in his hand. The only good thing was that the four Haikiri people would take the initiative to meet the attacking Lord of the Abyss, and their support was very fast. But there are only four.
Old Mr. Kawei knew that there were two and a half people who were capable of dealing with gods-level opponents alone. He didn't dare to look for the half. The emperor's most beloved fourteenth son, the demon prince Azad.
Who knows which side this guy will help when he comes on stage. Even if he helps humans, if someone is really unfortunate, he won't be hated to death by the old man behind him.
The other two people who can win, or at least not lose, are my granddaughter's teacher and the magician who wants something.
Regarding the former Demon King, Old Kaweigong also did not dare to look for him. In addition to her considerable importance in the life system of the Church of Three Holy Lights, which no one can touch, her own temperament cannot be controlled either.
My granddaughter didn't even dare to speak to the grandfather who helped her, and she only received two big white eyes. If it hadn't been for this, the old man wouldn't have known that his granddaughter had such an expression.
As for the magician who wants something, it's simple, just satisfy his request...
I would hesitate before, but now I don’t. Because if you continue to hesitate, you may not even have the chance to hesitate in the future!
Seeking approval from the Magicians Association was something that Old Kaweigong immediately ruled out.
Although neighboring branches of the Magicians Association also recruited their members to form magician troops to participate in the war. Its strength is also one of the few trustworthy among the guest armies, and it is also quite active on the battlefield. But this is because it is closely related to their lives, so they are so active.
If there is a branch farther away, there will be very few people who do it out of passion or consciously have the duty to fight demons without any urgency. And such people have already traveled long distances to the battlefield to become one of them.
The widespread construction of magic towers involves the interests of all magicians, as well as the position of the Magicians Association. It is impossible for a few regions to make a decision and all magicians agree. This may be even more difficult than the Dharma Saint’s certification.
If representatives of magicians from all over the land are gathered to discuss a charter, old Mr. Kawei doesn't think he can last that long. Let’s just say that the Gwana Empire may not be preserved.
In the past, noble lords and magicians made a convention, which involved all the forces and magicians in the whole land, and took nearly a hundred years to complete. There is no such time now!
Maybe others have it, but I certainly don’t.
But I am willing to act recklessly, and I can act recklessly, but the magician doesn't believe it, so what should I do? But you can't blame the other party for not giving yourself enough trust. Indeed, even the grand duke of the empire cannot make a final decision on the ownership of the Twin Towers of the Gate.
But if I can’t do it myself, there are still people behind me!
It was not difficult to convince his old friend, the old emperor of the Gwana Empire, Armin Kazalnia. After all, most of the empire's troops were restrained on the north side of the mountain range, huddled under the protection of the magic tower. It was difficult to even retreat back to the defense line on the south side of the mountain range.
If all these troops are transferred here, what will be left of the empire? So my old friend didn't have many options.
Another ally that can be won over is the emperor of the Haider Empire. Even though the Haider Empire only dispatched half of its airships, in the early stages of the war, airships that mainly supported the battlefield could be said to be the safest force.
But since crossing the Wind Emperor Mountain Range and arriving at the northern battlefield, the danger factor of the airship has skyrocketed.
It started with the first military airship that was half-destroyed by the Orcs. In the following battle, as long as the airship is too close to the ground battlefield and the Lord of the Abyss joins the battle, as long as it is caught, it will usually not escape the fate of falling.
Since joining the war in the north, the Haider Empire's airships have lost one-fifth of their number!
In the war history of the Haider Empire, every loss of an airship can be called a defeat. In this kind of war where one-fifth of the airships were lost, the empire's top officials almost had a collective brain stroke.
If the status quo is not changed, losses of this magnitude will continue to grow. From the perspective of the Haider Empire, it is impossible for him to withdraw now. Because if he stops now and allows the Gwana Empire to fall, he will definitely be the next one and will not be able to escape.
This is different from the situation where a gambler takes in more capital in order to recover his capital after a small loss. Smart gamblers know how to set stop-loss points, but there are no stop-loss points in wars, and it is normal for the winner to take all. So once a war breaks out, no matter which side can do it, they can only grit their teeth and hold on until the end, and then bet on the other side not being able to hold on first.
Therefore, the emperor of the Haider Empire must and has reasons to support any method that can restore the situation on the battlefield. Even if you have to pay a price for it.
Don't forget that the emperor of the Haider Empire is not hereditary, but elected from among the electors. But the power of the emperor is real.
Apart from changing the elective monarchy system to a hereditary system, which is a step that cannot be taken, it is difficult for the nobles and princes to stop any other things they want to do.
Therefore, Old Kawei believes that the Haider Empire can also be persuaded.
In order to allow the magician to participate in the war without any distractions, old Duke Kawei decided to get the endorsement of two empires.
As long as the emperor recognizes the magician's ownership of the Twin Towers, there will be a way to compete with other political forces in the land. And these are two emperors!
As for letting the magician who was not allowed to own a magic tower occupy two towers at once, or a magic tower in a key position, would there really be any loss to the empire?
That 'not allowed' is not a formal legal agreement, but a tacit understanding between nobles and magicians.
The technology exchanged is not just the key to changing the war against the Abyss, it is very likely to be the key technology that will affect the future situation of the Lost Land. Among them, the noble lords are still the biggest gainers, while the magicians are the losers. Is there any reason not to support this?
Finally, and most importantly, the location of the twin towers of the gate must be on both sides of the Gate of the Abyss. And the Gate of the Abyss is within the Sulitang Empire...
There is nothing to be hesitant about being generous to others! Even if the attack coverage of the Twin Towers of the Gate can be compared to the improved version of the Great Sage Tower in the southwest peninsula, it has not yet reached the borders of the Gwana or Haider Empires. It won’t come even if it’s doubled!
In order to gain the support of the two emperors, the old Duke Kawei planned an unprecedented meeting.
The two emperors, each leading five important ministers, including him, the commander of the coalition forces, and the most important figure, the great magician Guybrash Tripwood, met on an airship over the third-party territory.
Old Kawei Gong is confident that he can persuade his old associates to participate. Anyway, most of the empire's political affairs have been handed over to the crown prince. If the old emperor is really prepared for any eventuality, there will not be much turmoil in the empire.
The more difficult part is how to convince the emperor of the Haider Empire to attend the meeting. Therefore, the condition put forward by the old Kawei Gong was that personnel from the Gwana Empire, without escort, hold a meeting on the airship of the Haider Empire.
If you can't gain trust by putting your life safety in the hands of the other party, then there's probably no need to talk about other things. Let's break up the gang as soon as possible.
However, this does not mean that old Duke Kawei really disregarded the safety of himself and his emperor. It goes without saying that he himself is a transcendent being. Among the participants, the most dangerous one was the magician. No one within his field of vision is absolutely safe or absolutely dangerous, it all depends on his thoughts.
But the old man was also secretly angry with the magician. If something unexpected happened, he must leave with his emperor as soon as possible.
It can be said that the reason why the Gwana Empire promised not to bring guards is because they have more trustworthy power than ordinary guards. This kind of trust cannot be experienced by others.
In other words, Old Kaweigong understood very well that as long as the man present was not in the right mind, no amount of guards would be of any use; as long as he did not think of conflict, no amount of ambushes would be of any use.
Just because time was very urgent, among the participants, except for the emperor of the Gwana Empire who knew everything, and the emperor of the Haider Empire who knew a rough idea, everyone else was put on the shelf and taken to the airship. Arriving at the destination.
The important ministers of the two countries even suspected that they had offended their emperor in some way, so they planned to execute themselves secretly. Until I saw another empire's airship.
