The troll palace stands in the northwest corner of the royal city, surrounded by lakes on all sides, and the palace is built on the island in the center of Bibo Lake.
Bibo Lake is the most famous hot spring lake in the Troll King's City. It is said that the reason why the Troll Emperor chose the new King's City here was because of this rare hot spring.
On the icy and snowy sky, such a hot spring is simply a miracle. The trolls naturally regarded it as a gift from the White Wolf God of War, and deliberately built the palace in the center of Bibo Lake.
Before the twilight of the morning light had completely spread over every corner of the royal city, the troll emperor Modo II held an imperial meeting.
The most diligent emperor in the history of the troll empire, every meeting is at dawn, which is undoubtedly a painful torture for the troll ministers, but facing Modo II, who is determined to revitalize the empire, everyone A troll minister could only bear it helplessly.
It's a pity that even though this Modo II is so diligent, he still can't stop the decline of the troll empire in his hands.
Sometimes, the fate of the empire cannot be reversed by the efforts of one or two people.
The topic of this imperial meeting is very clear - the Black Cavalry.
The troll had already woven a net, but it was too late to wait for the prey to arrive.
As time went by, the high-ranking trolls inevitably became anxious.
Modo II is over fifty years old, but his spirit is still very strong, his body is tough and straight, and he looks like a soldier sitting on the throne.
In fact, this troll emperor did join the army, and he also fought against Marquis Garcia.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that they have fought against each other. More precisely, they were taught by Marquis Garcia...
Still, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
The generals in the troll empire who have not been taught by Marquis Garcia can only be said that he is not even qualified to go to the front line.
Because of the psychological shadow left by the Black Cavalry Army, the troll emperor attached great importance to this booby-killing operation. If the Black Cavalry Army is not destroyed, Modo II will have trouble sleeping and eating all day long.
Most of the troll nobles also firmly believe that if the name of the Black Cavalry can really be made into history this time, then the revival of the troll empire may be just around the corner.
In the council hall, hung a huge military map, on which the black cavalry represented by black arrows was occupying Windhowl Fort.
But this status has not been updated for more than ten days.
Why are the Black Cavalry still in Castle Windhowl
Why not attack the troll king city
Did they see through this ruse
…
Various thoughts swirled in the minds of the troll nobles, and the scene was a little depressing for a while.
Finally, it was Modo II who broke the embarrassing silence: "Is the Black Cavalry still silent?"
The Minister of Military Affairs' expression was a little stiff, and he replied cautiously: "Yes, Your Majesty. The frontline sentries still haven't seen them come out of Windhowl Castle."
"Then why don't they move?"
Modo II's questioning made the Minister of Military Affairs a little embarrassed, and he turned his attention to the two princes who were closer to the front as if asking for help.
Among the four princes of the troll empire, Prince Otto of the North was injured in a duel with the Duke of St. Hilde and is currently recuperating in the extreme north. The next ones are Prince Abbas of the East and Prince Meruwe of the West.
Prince Abbas is a handsome middle-aged troll who likes human culture, service, etiquette, and of course human beauties. If you don't look at his slightly hideous face in the eyes of humans, Prince Abbas is no different from an elegant and decent human nobleman.
The Prince of the East is a staunch "peace talker" in the troll empire. In his opinion, it is extremely unwise to insist on being an enemy of the northern border. Only by peaceful coexistence with the northern border and friendly trade can the troll empire hope for revival.
The peace and marriage that Prince Okamoto went to Cold Winter City last year was greatly appreciated by Prince Abbas, who believed that this was the correct way for the troll empire to get along with the northern border.
The Prince of the West, Meruwe, who is opposite him, is just the opposite, a staunch "battle faction".
The prince of Meruwe is burly and muscular, with dark green skin covered with thick hair, which looks like a green-skinned gorilla.
As for his clothes, it's really a little... hard to describe.
He was covered with gemstones of various colors, which indeed looked like jewels at first glance, but it was too much. Such a dress revealed Prince Meruwe's extremely vulgar taste.
Prince Meruwe has a pair of triangular eyes, and the fierce eyes that emerge from them seem to be displeasing to anyone, especially Prince Abbas.
In his opinion, a "sissy" like Prince Abbas is a disgrace to the troll family, not to mention the other party's tendency to capitulate, which makes Prince Meruwe wish to kill this scum who betrayed his own race.
At this time, seeing the look of the Minister of Military Affairs asking for help, Prince Meruvi said carelessly: "Your Majesty, I don't think you need to worry too much. The Black Cavalry is probably waiting for the army going south to go farther, so they are staying at Windhowl Castle. .So, what we have to do now is to wait patiently."
As soon as the words fell, Prince Abbas sneered and shook his head, as if he had heard some stupid remarks.
Prince Meruwe stared and shouted angrily, "Abbas, why are you laughing? Is there anything wrong with my words?"
Prince Abbas took a step back, avoiding the droplets from Prince Meruwe's mouth, and said with disgust:
"Meluwe, have you ever thought about that pig head? We can only know that the Black Cavalry Army has not marched north of Windhowl Castle, but south of Windhowl Castle? Do you know what happened there?"
Prince Meruwe was suffocated when he heard the words, but soon shouted again: "What else can happen to the south?"
Prince Abbas smiled contemptuously, and said: "Calculating the time, Okamoto should lead the army back according to the plan. Tell me, what will happen if the Black Cavalry continue to stay in Windhowl Castle?"
Prince Meruvi also frowned: "You mean, the Black Cavalry is waiting for Okamoto's army to turn back? Is that possible? How could they know that Okamoto will return?"
Prince Abbas sneered: "Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you? I strongly opposed this so-called trick to lure the enemy from the very beginning, because once it is seen through by the enemy, we will fall into an extremely passive situation!
Now that the Black Cavalry occupied Windhowl Castle and did not continue northward, it is very likely that they already knew that the Troll King City was a trap!
Hehe, you wanted to lure the enemy, but you didn't expect the enemy to eat the bait, but they just wouldn't step into your trap! "
"Nonsense!" Prince Meruvi blushed and wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.
Because at this time, most of the troll nobles have begun to realize that the actions of the Black Cavalry Army are too suspicious.
Perhaps, this trick to lure the enemy really happened as Prince Abbas said.
"These are just your guesses. What evidence do you have to prove that the Black Cavalry saw through our trick to lure the enemy?" Prince Meruvi was still trying to hold on.
Prince Abbas sneered twice, as if he didn't even bother to explain to this reckless man.
"Abbas..." Modo II also spoke, with a particularly hoarse voice.
But before the troll emperor could continue, he saw a guard walking quickly into the council hall and reporting loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Okamoto is seeking an audience outside the palace."
"Okamoto!"
"Why is he back!"
"What happened to the army going south?"
"Did the Black Cavalry really see through our strategy?"
…
For a while, the council hall was in chaos.
