After completely annihilating the 1.2 million orc army that attacked the holy city, for various reasons, I did not continue to lead the troops to attack the orcs except to rest the troops.
Instead, Victor and other local commanders of Yarn, under the guidance of my guerrilla thinking, launched non-stop attacks on the tribes and armies of the beasts, causing the entire tribe to fall into a serious chaos. After all, the casualties of a large number of their leaders, coupled with the continuous harassment tactics, made it difficult for the beasts to maintain their logistical supply.
During this period, there was even a fratricide among the tribes of the beastmen, all because of the ownership of a small fish pond. . . . .
Half lying on a hillside outside the holy city, I held Iya in one hand and a wine glass in the other, feeling extremely satisfied. Although I experienced many hardships and tribulations at the beginning of my life, and was far away from all the modern facilities I missed, everything I have now makes me even more satisfied. Wealth, power, and beauty are all within my reach.
"Xiang, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Yaruo and Yunyue? Or are you still worried about the war situation?" Touching the magic boxing gloves in her hands, Yiya is now very happy. After all, the orcs' offensive has been stopped, so Yiya no longer needs to worry about the safety of her family. And she is also very satisfied with me. After all, people from the future have a better grasp of the position between men and women than men in this world.
"I'm not worried about the war situation. Anyway, as long as the current situation develops, it is a foregone conclusion that those stinky orcs will roll back to the northern wilderness. It will definitely not change. The only thing that worries me is that the identities of Yaruo and Yunyue elves are still very troublesome... Unless... Ahem! No, if I do this, I'm afraid Yaruo and the others will hate me to death first..." The thought that suddenly popped up was denied by me as soon as it popped up.
"What method? Tell me about it? Maybe it really works..." Yiya, who had already had contact with Yaruo and the others, immediately asked questions after hearing what I said.
"Hehe, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Western Continent to get some elves to sell in the Eastern Continent, so that I can legitimately bring Yaruo and Yunyue with me. But the consequence of doing so, I'm afraid that the two of them will hate me to death!"
"Uh! Xiang, why are all the methods you come up with so evil?" After hearing my suggestion, Yiya, who had always sympathized with Yunyue's experience, immediately gave me a close contact with the boxing gloves in her hand, then jumped up and ran away.
"Wow! You little bitch, you dare to murder my husband... See how I teach you a lesson tonight..." With a weird cry, I quickly jumped up and chased after Yiya who was running. Although with my current strength, if I don't use magic, it's a daydream to catch up with Yiya, but in reality, it is often inversely proportional to strength.
As Iya and I rushed towards the city, thousands of warriors around the hill silently divided into two teams, escorting me to the city. At the same time, a large number of magicians also rose from the ground, forming a hemispherical defense circle in the air to prevent anyone from harming me.
"Sir, we finally found you... Come on, let's go back and talk!" Victor, who had just arrived at the city gate, hurriedly pulled me towards the military camp after hearing the news. From his expression, I was sure that this time it would not be bad news.
"My lord, good news! This time we have three good things coming to us! The first thing is that after our repeated attacks and encirclements of the orc camps and tribes, it is said that the orcs are in great chaos, and many of them are even preparing to evacuate.
The second thing is, I heard that His Majesty sent envoys to the two countries of the Western Continent a few months ago and obtained the promises of the two countries. After we made some promises, they forgave our unfriendly actions, and the new emperor of the Kastek Empire also agreed to send troops to assist our coalition forces in the Western Continent to withdraw to the Eastern Continent and jointly eliminate the orc troops in Andrel. . . . You say, is this a wonderful result? God! We are going to drive the orcs out completely. . . . . . .
The third thing is a matter of great importance to your future. . . According to the order of Her Majesty the Queen, Princess Mariette will come to the Holy City in a week. In addition to boosting morale and rewarding the three armies, she will also preside over the ceremony for your promotion to the Duke. . . . .
My lord, you must seize this opportunity! Her Royal Highness the Princess is here in person... And it is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess has always had a special opinion of you... "
As soon as we entered the barracks, Victor drove everyone out, including Yiya, and quickly closed the door, leaving everyone outside. At the same time, he spoke mysteriously in my ear. But when I heard the second piece of news, I actually didn't have any mood to listen to Victor's other words.
The coalition forces are going to withdraw. This is already very bad news. After all, I had fought with that army many times before entering the East Continent. If I were to be recognized, wouldn't everything I have gained now be gone? And that... what... what is the new emperor of the Kastek Empire? Does it mean that what Thacker was worried about has really happened? Did the Minister of Finance or the Minister of Military Affairs sit on the throne of the emperor
Damn it... If that's the case, then as long as they have officials interacting with them, there's a very high chance that I'll be exposed...
For a moment, I felt so defeated at using my true identity in the Kingdom of Yan that I even lost my direction as to what to do next.
After instinctively responding to Victor for a few words, I sent Victor out on the pretext that I was too excited and needed to sort out my thoughts and make the next plan. I also called Yiya and a few others into the secret room to discuss a countermeasure.
"Sir, it looks like we have to run away again..." After listening to my explanation, Matthew was the first to smile bitterly.
"Run away? Where should we run to? Although the Mocast Empire has a vast territory, its population density is also very high. If you want to keep tens of thousands of troops within their borders without being discovered, it is simply a dream.
And Andre is a small place, and the people there are not as trustworthy as we see on the surface. If we are under too much pressure in the future, no one can guarantee that they will not sell us out.
Next is the Kastark Empire, our original homeland. But from the signs, the so-called new emperor is definitely not from your faction. Otherwise, he would never easily cooperate with the East Continent coalition that invaded his country.
Finally, it was the Senke Federation. Although the battle of Huangshi City made our master famous, it also created an irreconcilable hatred with the Senke Federation. After all, the casualties of hundreds of thousands of troops were more or less related to our master. And the most deterrent berserker of the Senke Federation was even swallowed up by the master... Everyone, where else can we go? Do we really have to go to the Commercial Alliance to avoid disaster? "After hearing Matthew's words, Shen Xiang immediately frowned and stood up to ask.
"......" For a moment, everyone was silent. Although there was still a choice of the Business Alliance, everyone knew that the Business Alliance was an oligarchic alliance composed of countless free trade groups. Although its scale was large, if tens of thousands of people poured in at once, it would be impossible to hide it. If the news leaked, I am afraid that the Business Alliance would be completely crushed by those countries on the mainland within a few days. (To be continued)
