June 15th, 415th year of the Laux calendar.
In a pastry shop in the Rose Empire, a grand "food conference" is being held.
After showing a series of exquisite invitations, they were invited by the owner of the cake shop, Chirom, who was known as the world's most talented chef, to a special room to taste luxurious food.
But, it’s about tasting delicious food.
In fact, this is an intelligence exchange conference.
It is a secret gathering of the Rose Empire's peace faction.
Here, under the pretext of tasting delicious food, they discussed the war between the Rose Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom, and how to lead this war to the peace they had always longed for.
In order to prevent anyone from sneaking in or being eavesdropped by someone with ulterior motives, the peace faction gathered here used the names of various pastries to represent places and people, used different flavors to represent the direction of different events, and used the production techniques to illustrate their own views.
In the industry, this kind of behavior is called speaking in jargon.
It’s not that these peace-loving people want to say this, it’s just that the people above have been investigating too frequently recently, and they must not reveal any clues.
In the past few years, in order to stop the Rose Empire from devouring the Wansheng Kingdom, members of the peace faction have been interfering.
In the past two years, as the Rose Empire launched a fierce attack, more and more peace faction members stepped forward, which also caused the people in power to pay more attention to the movements of the peace faction.
If you can speak here with dignity and uprightness, who would be willing to deliberately tell such a riddle
It's a pity that there is no Morse code in this world, otherwise they would speak at the frequency of drinking water, and after a meeting, they would inevitably go to the toilet several times.
However, too many meetings held in the name of enjoying delicious food can cause tooth decay and pain for weeks.
This time, two ministers who held important positions and ate too many sweets could not come because they suffered from tooth decay.
Unfortunately, until now, Chirom and his team have not found a more effective and secure way to exchange information, so they can only continue to hold meetings of this type.
As I said earlier, every person and thing has a food nickname.
At this meeting, two types of food were mentioned repeatedly.
A kind of dessert called rainbow marshmallow, this dessert refers to the colorful-haired masked man who debuted last winter and gradually caused a stir in the war.
The other type, called "Dark Cuisine", refers to the destructive acts committed by non-peace factions in the Rose Empire.
At present, it can be judged that in this war, there are at least two other forces acting secretly.
They want to prevent this war from taking any side.
But it would be a big mistake to think that they are friendly forces because of this.
Although they are trying to prevent the war from leaning towards any side, they have no intention of bringing peace to the war instantly. Instead, they want the war to continue like this forever.
Together with the pro-war faction of the Rose Empire, if they want to make all three forces agree at the same time and bring peace to the war, it will not work relying solely on the peace faction of the Rose Empire.
If you want to be a blacksmith, you must be strong yourself.
If Wansheng Kingdom does not become strong first and take back the land that belongs to them with its own strength, the peace faction will not be able to add fuel to the fire and force the two sides to reach a ceasefire agreement.
But because of a series of strategies adopted by the Rose Empire, Wansheng Kingdom was simply played around by the Rose Empire.
The stupidity and barbarity of the orcs often became a laughing stock among the nobles, as if taking over Wansheng Kingdom was already a foregone conclusion.
A few years ago, there were a large number of brave and strategic people in Wansheng Kingdom.
Now, more and more mediocre people are entering the war stage in Wansheng Kingdom’s army.
There were even generals like Marco, who were powerful but too young and were pushed to the center of the war.
Whenever they think of this, the peace faction members all sigh with regret.
Compared with the knowledge accumulated by mankind over hundreds and thousands of years, the Wansheng Kingdom, which has only existed for three hundred years, is still too immature.
Many peace-loving people even began to be extremely pessimistic about whether Wansheng Kingdom could get back all the land.
However, the appearance of a person at this time was like a shot of cardiotonic medicine in their hearts.
"How does cotton candy taste? General Sculler."
Chirom adjusted his hat and looked at General Scarle, who had once guarded Benliang City.
“Marshmallow is tough, which is exactly what we need.”
"What a great review. Can I try this freshly made White Rabbit candy? It's a thank you gift."
Scarle once watched Yang Yu's battle in Benliang City.
This person, who appears to be a very radical war advocate, is actually a very moderate peace advocate.
In order to infiltrate the pro-war faction, he pretended to have a bad temper.
Chirom specially made this kind of candy to treat this "rare guest" in order to express his gratitude to Scarle for sparing his subordinates.
In order not to reveal his identity, Scarle rarely attends food meetings held by Chirom.
In order to protect the general, Chirom often invited other pro-war people to attend real food parties in the name of food tasting.
To outsiders, this friendly and pacifist genius pastry chef has completely given up his pacifist identity and devoted himself to making new foods.
But he was still upset that the Rose Empire did not adopt his suggestions before, and he also made his attitude clear in public.
But in the end, because the chain of stores was too large, they were forced to provide funds to the war faction.
The purpose of inviting the generals who advocated war was just to discuss how to provide the funds in the future.
No one would doubt it.
Even though the surveillance on the peace faction is getting tighter and tighter, and any sign of guilt will result in a military court, Chirom's food meeting is still an exception.
Coming here, Scarle's tense expression gradually relaxed.
"I'm welcome."
General Scarle put the White Rabbit milk candy into his mouth, and the pure milky aroma filled his mouth.
At this time, a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes walked up to the two of them and said with a smile:
"This colorful cotton candy is really delicious. I wonder if it can defeat the snowballs and cross the barriers to fill the world this winter."
Seeing this handsome young man, Qiluomu and Scarle couldn't help but show respect.
Qiluom shook his head, "Your Highness, it may be a little difficult."
"But it's worth looking forward to, isn't it?"
The handsome young man smiled, then his expression changed and he leaned close to Chirom's ear.
“At the ball held a few days ago, I have confirmed that there is something wrong with General Volshi’s second daughter.
What should I do next? Should I pretend to obey her
Or should we find out those people who dare to make trouble in our empire!"
