Chapter 738: Declaring War

What no one expected happened like this. The undead clan actually declared war with the human empire. Although it was only two of the five lords, it was also a bit incomprehensible. Are you undead fighting? Civil war, and even if there is no civil war, the undead clan has nothing to fight with humans in terms of military strength. Why did they declare war like this? No one can understand this.

The Human Empire was also shocked. Anthony originally wanted to concentrate on dealing with the rebel troops, so he wanted to release the undead for a while, but he didn't expect that the other side dared to declare war directly. What's the trouble? And the reason for declaring war is that the land over there is the territory of the undead clan, aren't you joking? This was all a few hundred years ago, so you still have to talk about it at this time?

Soon a second meeting was held on the human side, and the topic of the meeting was naturally how to deal with the undead tribe's declaration of war.

"His Royal Highness, the other side has declared war, and we have no way out. This time, we must give the undead tribe a good look. Otherwise, where will we put the face of our new empire?" The military department of the main combat faction here Minister Gwen said.

"Your Highness, it's a bit too strange anyway. Why did the undead tribe declare war on us at this time? They have internal problems." Prime Minister Maher has always been unable to figure out this problem, "Could it be that they already know our internal news? Yet?"

What Mach said, the general minister sounded like he was talking about the food and grass issue on the side of the human empire, but the insiders here, Anthony, knew what Mach meant when they heard it. Mach was talking about whether the rebels had already contacted the undead. , ready to cooperate with the dwarves to attack the human empire with them.

"Is that so?" Anthony here also understood what Mahe meant, and immediately frowned and said, this is not a good thing, dealing with the dwarves is already difficult enough. I didn't expect that there would be an undead tribe, which made things worse. "Does the prime minister have any suggestions?"

"No matter what, the other party has declared war on us, so we must declare war." Mahe said immediately, it was too timid not to declare war after the other party declared war. It will be looked down upon by others, and let others know that the human race seems to be vain, so the election campaign is necessary. Everyone agrees on this point, but how to defeat it is a problem. "I don't recommend large-scale wars. Otherwise, our food and grass problem cannot be solved.”

"It's the problem of food and grass again." Anthony said with a headache, "Is there any way to get food and grass?"

"It's very difficult. Because the elves are fighting with the orcs, it is impossible to have plenty of food and grass. Needless to say, the demons,

It will definitely not be sold to us. His Highness also knows that the dwarves have just declared war on the undead side, so it is impossible...the problem of food and grass. It's hard to solve now. said March, frowning.

"Your Highness, I know that there is a lot of food and grass in one place." Suddenly a minister came out and said.

"Korfira. Do you know where there is food and grass?" Anthony looked over here, and it turned out to be Kolfira, an official from the Ministry of the Interior.

"Yes, I know." Corfila nodded, "I heard that the Duke of Aquitaine's fief has sufficient grain and grass, and the grain and grass are piled up in warehouses, and even hundreds of new warehouses have been built to store grain. So can we Ask the Duke of Aquitaine for help?"

"Huilin?" Anthony was stunned for a while, but he heard that Li Huailin charged a super high tax rate, which resulted in too much food and grass to store. However, according to intelligence, a large amount of food and grass have been sold through the De'an Chamber of Commerce controlled by Li Huailin. , Anthony doesn't know exactly how much is left.

"Your Highness, I also know about this." Mahe here also said, "Since the autumn harvest, the De'an Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Duke of Aquitaine has sold grain and grass to the orcs at high prices to make a fortune in war. At present, the De'an Chamber of Commerce has already It has become one of the largest chambers of commerce in the mainland, but the number of betrayals is limited. It is estimated that it is to control the price. If it is calculated now, there should be a lot of surplus food left.

"So we can discuss it with Wylin?" Anthony asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. If possible, please discuss with the Duke of Aquitaine. Our treasury is still abundant. If we buy food and grass at ordinary prices, we should be able to buy a lot, but if it is at the price of the beast clan , we can’t buy much,” Maher said.

"Well, that's it." Anthony nodded, "Then send someone to negotiate with Wylin, if not, I will come in person."

"Your Highness." Just as he was talking, a knight from the Royal Knights came in and reported, "Your Highness, the Duke of Aquitaine is here."

"Oh? What a coincidence?" Anthony was stunned for a moment. Li Huailin seldom participated in the parliament. I didn't expect him to come to participate just after talking about it today. What a coincidence, so I happened to have something to discuss with him.

Soon Li Huailin was invited to the main hall. Anthony had already set up a seat. In the entire hall, except for the king, only Li Huailin could sit and talk.

"Food and grass?" Hearing Anthony's question about the food and grass here, Li Huailin was slightly taken aback, "I heard that there are still a lot of food and grass, but Oliveira will take care of all this, I don't know how to do it at all Yes, if you need it, I'll let Oliveira talk to you, I don't understand this question."

"Oh, that's it." Anthony nodded, "Then Corphira, I'll leave this matter to you. You can discuss the purchase of grain and grass with the ministers of the Duke of Aquitaine."

"Yes, Your Highness." Kolfira nodded and said.

"By the way, Huailin, what is the purpose of attending the meeting today?" After talking about this matter, Anthony asked Li Huailin, because he also knew Li Huailin's temperament, and if he had nothing to do, he would not come to any meeting .

"Oh, that's right, I heard that the undead clan declared war with us, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile.

"Hmm." Anthony nodded, "We are studying this issue. We are planning to purchase food and grass because of the war. Due to the shortage of food and grass, everyone's opinion is not to start a large-scale war. What do you think, Wylin? "

"That's what I'm talking about. It's really embarrassing for people from the undead clan to dare to declare war on us like this. How about this, or let me kill the undead clan's troops." Li Huailin said with a smile.

"Oh?" Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Ma He asked, "The Duke of Aquitaine means that you want the Second Army to personally attack the troops of the undead?"

"Yeah, what do you think?" Li Huailin said.

"If the Duke of Aquitaine agrees to the grain purchase plan, the army will be able to be maintained at that time, but now that the First Army has already started dispatching to the south, and if the Second Army is also going to fight against the undead army, will the defense force in our main city area be slightly weaker? Weaker?" said Maher here.

What Maher is worried about is that if the Second Army also leaves, there will only be 15,000 guards left near the capital. In this way, if any rebels attack, the capital will become quite dangerous. The matter cannot be stated clearly, after all, the matter of the rebels cannot be made public.

"Yeah..." Anthony here also hesitated a little bit, because although there are 15,000 guards in the capital, most of the troops are still the guards of Rein. , the combat effectiveness is rubbish, so I won’t say much. The most important thing is that the loyalty of this group of people is not reliable. Although the leaders are all their own people, after all, most of the soldiers were recruited by Rain. If the leader of the army is Rain, will they rebel?

"Don't worry so much." Li Huailin said, "Just how much time do you think it will take me to deal with an undead tribe? It can be done in about a week. You see, in such a short time, I don't think there will be any problems. Yes."

"One week..." The previous battles let everyone understand Li Huailin's ability to fight. Even if it was such a big battle in the Northland War, it took Li Huailin a total of more than ten days to get it done, so now Li Huailin No one has any doubts about resolving the battle within a week.

And Anthony thinks more. Now the rebels are obviously not ready yet, that is to say, the time to start the rebellion is not yet. If the undead can be solved in a week, this plan seems to be no big problem, so Hearing what Li Huailin said, Anthony here nodded: "What do you think of the Duke of Aquitaine's opinion?"

Everyone can hear it, Anthony here has basically agreed, and they don't want to mess with Li Huailin, do you dare to jump out and fight against Li Huailin now, so the ministers here immediately said: "Mr. Agree with the plan of the Duke of Aquitaine."

"If that's the case, then it's decided." Anthony nodded and said, "Mach, immediately announce the declaration of war. Wylin, the Second Legion will set off immediately and go to the battlefield to fight the undead clan. The battle must be resolved quickly."

"Sir, take orders." Ma He said.

"Okay, no problem." Li Huailin said with a smile.

So after the two lords of the undead tribe declared war on the human race inexplicably, the human race also responded quickly, directly declaring war on the entire undead empire. Entering the territory of the human race, because the troops on the human race have not assembled yet, the city guards have also received an order to retreat temporarily and wait for the arrival of the army, so they lead the people to retreat. In one afternoon, the human race lost 4 small cities. Officially begin. (To be continued..)
