After the news of Morendo's fall came to the imperial capital, it immediately caused storm waves at the top. The emperor who liked to fight in the north also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately retreated into the northern defense. He recalled several well-known generals and returned to discuss matters urgently!

At this time, in the imperial hall of the imperial capital, major northern military leaders and leaders of the mage family gathered together!

The buildings in the north are not as exquisite as the south, with grand workmanship and a more simplistic beauty, but the scale of the hall is much larger than the noble garden hall in the southern provinces.

On a white jade conference table that is more than 20 meters long, this emperor: Jiawen Augustus was sitting at the chief of the conference table wearing mighty black armor!

His height of nearly two meters completely supported the mightyness of this armor. His expression was serious under the crown, and he seemed full of oppression!

The atmosphere around also seemed extremely solemn.

The conference table is still in the previous style of the Empire. The generals sit in the left row, while the family's great wizards and important officials of the imperial cabinet sit in the right row!

Since ancient times, civil and military officials have been neglected. Even in this prosperous empire that is unanimous to foreign countries, most military generals do not like those pure politicians and mages, and civil officials naturally do not like those rude and reckless men. In comparison, they are more willing to deal with elegant wizards. This is not only a confrontation between civil and military officials, but also a factional issue left over from the new and old forces of the empire.

The king opened up the territory and built the city by loyal knights and local military lords, while the ability to gain a foothold was by the upstarts of the mage who promised a lot of benefits to win over.

This newcomer formed two tit-for-tat strength with his old subordinates who made great contributions. After several hundred years, it formed the current political situation with a clear civil and military structure.

In previous meetings, the two sides would often quarrel before the discussion began. However, this time, the atmosphere of the meeting was particularly harmonious, and both sides were listening to each other's views on the situation.

Because everyone knows the seriousness of this incident, there is no room for them to intrigue with each other.

For generals, the gap in the south was opened. In order to regain Morronto, the northern front must be tightened, the walls and cleared the fields, and the shape of a turtle. If the orcs from the north and the south cooperated with each other and launched a large-scale attack, this would be very pressured on them!

But even so, the regaining of Molundo in the South is still imperative!

Morendo has a unique terrain. Because the pass is outside, it almost completely blocked the possibility of orcs entering human territory. From the Morendo Mountains, it is a fertile land of thousands of miles. Almost every ten miles is a large grain-producing town. It is the most stable food import channel for the entire empire and the logistical support for northern soldiers to fight with confidence!

Once Morendo falls and the terrain is like the north, the beast tribe can come in and harass at any time, with the weak style formed in the south for many years, it will be difficult to organize effective forces to resist, and it will greatly reduce the production of food, which will have a great impact on the military situation in the north!

For the mages of various major families, once the gap in the south is opened, the prosperous trade road of Empire Avenue will also be greatly affected. Most mage families have connections with the families in the Western Archipelago before. They rely on the local specialties of the empire to sell them from south to north, making huge profits. Once the security of Empire Avenue is threatened, it will also have a huge impact on their interests.

The reasons for all this have led to the two sides reaching an agreement almost instantly without any negotiations and compromises in seven hundred years: that is, Morronto must be snatched back!!

"How strong are the Beast Clan's troops? How many tribes have participated in this operation this time? Is there any exact information?" Emperor Jiawen said with a gloomy face.

When the subordinates heard this, they rolled their eyes. Such a sudden attack without magical assistance was entirely dictated by the knights who had escaped. Where did the exact information come from?

After a while of silence, the first old knight on the left, who was wearing the honorary army seal, said in a deep voice: "According to the dictation of the knight who escaped, the orcs attacked at night without any omen this time. When most knights reacted, the walls of Moronto had been captured, and most of the knights were in chaos. This time, the orcs did not seem to have much effort to take Moronto!"

Jiawen's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and he thought to himself: I have lived a comfortable life in the south for too long!

The so-called energy storm caused the arcane barrier to be invalid. The old Duke of Morronto should be alert. After all, the old Duke of Roosevelt is a veteran general who has made great achievements in the north. Such a irresistible fall is obviously because his subordinates are too war-free.

But thinking about it is true that since the five southern tribes failed and suffered heavy losses seven hundred years ago, no orcs have organized an attack on Morendo in the past seven hundred years. It would be strange if hundreds of years of peace is enough to have a sense of war.

"But I think the Beast Clan's invasion should not be much force this time!" The old duke who had just spoken said in a deep voice.

"How do you say it?" the emperor's eyes lit up.

"This energy storm was obviously an accident. If the beasts had mastered this kind of thing, this attack would not be just a Moronto. If the beasts had enough troops this time, news of Codoville's emergence or even falling!"

"It makes sense" the emperor nodded slowly.

"Who will it be?" The great wizard sitting in the first place on the right asked in confusion: "From the intelligence, Morronto was attacked the night after the energy storm. Who organized the invasion so decisively?"

"Who else?" Jiawen smiled coldly: "Of course it is our wolf boy chief."

Everyone nodded. Among the southern tribes, he was probably the only one who could have such courage.

"So according to your inference, if we organize a fast-moving vanguard force now, will we have the opportunity to quickly get the city back?" Jiawen asked.

The old duke shook his head and said, "The possibility is too small. Over the years, we have relied too much on magic communication. The south has no longer the habit of raising pigeons, but the orcs have the means to raise birds to send messages. After they captured Morendo, they will naturally send messages to ask for support. It took us so long to receive the news. When the organization's troops have passed, most of the support from the orcs has arrived."

"In other words, we still have to fight the five major tribes in the south head?" Jiawen's face became even more ugly.

"It's hard to say," the old duke shook his head and said, "Anyway, the Lei tribe clan and the Black Water tribe will definitely not give up this opportunity. As for the peace-loving Dadi clan and the sparsely populated Huo tribe clan, which has always been away from the world, it depends on the diplomatic ability of our wolf boy chief."

"I remember that guy from Hotel," the king said gloomyly: "I have friendship with the elders of the Fire Tribe clan."

"So the situation is not optimistic this time," the old duke said seriously: "If the Huobi clan participates in the war, we must add high-end combat power. It is expected that at least more than ten Golden Knights will be needed!"

The "Ten" kings became a little embarrassed. The ten Golden Knights were almost half of the high-end combat power in the north. Once drawn, the high-end combat power in the north will shrink by half. If this time it is a joint force between the north and the south, it is really a question whether the north can hold on!

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much," the old duke smiled and said, "The Golden Knight is recruited to ensure the safety of the accompanying great mages. This battle will not be a protracted battle. After all, Moronto's internal walls on the empire's internal walls are far inferior to the outer walls, and it is impossible to withstand the magic attacks of the great mages. As for the north, our steel-mart empire has been standing for so many years, and it is still up to the thick city walls and arcane weapons. As long as the number of mages is sufficient, self-protection is not a problem."

As soon as these words came out, the mages on the right looked much better. When they heard the other party say that the south relied too much on magic communication, they all looked gloomy when they heard it. Now they nodded secretly: This old duke can speak, no wonder in the north, both forces can obey his command.

The marshal is worthy of being the elders of the three dynasties

Looking at the people who nodded in agreement with his opinion, the old duke kept his confidence in his face, but he sighed in his heart: There is no successor to the empire!

Including the king of this generation, the old duke was not optimistic about him. Jiawen seemed to be martial, but in fact he was mediocre in his qualifications and was not as capable as he thought he was military.
