The Iron Blood Prince Hobbes died in the battlefield, and Hongyan City was lost.

When the magic messenger was delivered directly to the king's book case, even General Jace did not dare to report to Strach directly.

The news appeared before my eyes. The tea bowl in Strach's hand shook unconsciously, and most of the hot tea water sprinkled on his hands, soaking the desk again.

Strach seemed to have no idea at all, stood there silent for a long time, and Jace did not dare to come forward to clean up.

After a long time, Stray came to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Where is the body of Uncle Iron Blood King?"

"Prince Elliot King is a hero. He was buried in the palace of the Red Rock City in accordance with the highest etiquette of orcs, and then destroyed the entire Red Rock City, using this city as the prince's tomb."

Hongyan City is located on the important road leading to the inland area on the border, and the orcs failed to invade the east several times. Elliott nominally used Hongyan City to build a tomb for Prince Hobbes, but in fact, he wanted to completely destroy the city and suffer forever.

"It is not advisable to organize a state funeral during the war. After repelling the orcs, the state funeral will be reclaimed for three days to comfort the Iron Blood Uncle."

Jace received the order and agreed.

"Where is Keno now?" Strach continued to ask.

"The deputy commander of the Jino Legion led the remaining troops of the Fengxue Legion to retreat to the Torra City. The Fengxue Legion and subsequent reinforcements are still in size of 100,000. Jino is reorganizing the defense line and sniping orcs continue to invade east."

Strach nodded. This was probably the best news in this war. With the 100,000 people under Shino, the orc army did not dare to drive straight into the inner world of the kingdom.

"Let Jino temporarily take over the position of commander of the Snow Legion, and he will be fully responsible for deciding the war in the northwest border. The guards and noble private troops in the northwest region will be allowed to dispatch him at will. Those who do not obey the order can be executed first and then report. In addition, the instructor of Jino, the 50,000 imperial guards are already on the road. Let him hold on for another month, and I will lead 50,000 imperial guards and 100,000 noble private troops to personally support the war in the northwest."

Jace turned around and was about to pass the order. Strach suddenly asked again: "Where are the two legions of Iron and Guanghui now? The front-line war is in critical condition, and they are ordered to accelerate their march."

"Report to Your Majesty, the Iron Wall Legion has returned to the border and can rush back to the royal city within seven days; the Glorious Legion has arrived near the Suluya Forest on the original border."

"Why is the Glorious Legion so much slower than the Iron Wall?" Strach couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Strach unexpectedly, the fall of Red Rock City was just the beginning of bad news, and there was a bigger crisis waiting for him...

......

The military camp station on the side of Suluya Forest.

It was midnight, and the commander of the Wilker Legion of the Glorious Legion was still paced back and forth in the brightly lit tent, looking out of the tent from time to time.

He was waiting for an important person, and the legion had been here for three days. If he couldn't wait tonight, the army would have to set off tomorrow.

With subtle footsteps, the handsome curtain was lifted. The close-fitting guards did not shout for a report and directly led three people wearing black hooded cloaks in.

After entering the tent, one of the people in the middle lifted the hat, revealing the face of a slightly pale middle-aged man, with neat short beards under his chin.

Although Wilker knew who was waiting for, he was still shocked after seeing this person, and then he knelt down on one knee, "I have seen Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and I have caused you to suffer in the past two years."

This man is Duras II, the captured king of the Locke Kingdom.

Duras II hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wilkest up, "It was because I was incompetent that the people of the Kingdom suffered the sea tribe and Isaac one after another, and the soldiers of the Kingdom were humiliated."

"I couldn't believe it when I received the letter from His Majesty that day. How did His Majesty escape from the sea tribe?"

"It was the emperor and empress who rescued me from the sea tribe."

"Emperor?" Wilkest didn't understand it for a moment.

Duras II did not mean to continue to explain, but grabbed Wilkest's hand, "I have escaped from the trap now, so I will ask the commander of the Legion to join me in restoring Locke and restoring the glory of the kingdom in the past!"

Wilkest hesitated for a moment.

"What else can the commander of the Legion? Would you rather be transferred to the battlefield with the orcs as cannon fodder than to restore your homeland?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood. Isaac now has a million troops. With the 100,000 Lock soldiers of my Glorious Legion, I'm afraid there is no hope of restoring the country, and I'll save the lives of these soldiers in vain."

Duras II sneered, "You look at Strach too high. Isaac has only one million soldiers, but now it is difficult to deal with it. If he dares to move the 300,000 troops on the Norman border, the first one would not agree. The orcs had just captured Hongyan City again, and even one extra soldier in his country could not be drawn out. Now there are only 100,000 troops in the Zhenhai Army in Locke. As long as I raise my arms and shout, I can immediately gather 100,000 noble private troops. General Tianlu has 50,000 kingdom soldiers. He is leading troops back at this time. The emperor and empress may hope to secretly give us support. This is the best time to restore the country!"

Wilkest was already tempted.

"If you vote for Isaac, Strach will never truly trust you, but if you succeed in restoring the country, the commander of the legion and General Tianlu are both heroes of the kingdom. I will be granted the position of prince." Duras II tempted him with great mercy.

"The 100,000 soldiers of the Glorious Legion swear to follow His Majesty to restore his homeland!" Wilkest knelt down on one knee again.

......

Imperial Palace, Fengluan Pavilion.

The emperor and Empress were pinching a blood-red fruit the size of a thumb with her fingers, and put it carefully into her mouth. The juice was slicing and the fragrance of the room was filled with the smell.

"You can try it too. This is a deep-sea delicacy called Haizhu Fruit just sent by the shopkeeper of Yunxiao Trading Company. It has a miraculous effect of prolonging life. It is said that even in the sea tribe, only the tribe leader and high priest level are qualified to enjoy it."

There were two people sitting in the lower head of the emperor. One was the emperor Grantham. Grantham, who had been emperor for many years, was still used to sitting in the lower head of his mother, and the other was Prime Minister Gurnoro.

The emperor and the empress are in a very good mood today and can't help but say to themselves: "Strech thinks he has calculated all the world, and this time he wants to let him spit out all the things he had swallowed before."

Gurnoro took the initiative to answer, "The Empress Dowager's brilliant plan is to only ask for a Duras II from the sea tribe, and he will take back Locke without any effort."

If Duras II succeeded in restoring the country with the power of the imperial family this time, he would be firmly in his hands in the imperial family.

Grantham had a faint worry on his face, "In this way, wouldn't Isaac have to be called into the mouth of the orcs?"

"My son is too worried. Although Strach is ambition, he still relies on it. Orcs are not so easy to swallow Isaac. When both sides are consumed, we will drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and let Locke and Kildan drive out the orcs."

Bados, Ruge destroyed the country, and Holo lost in a row because of the sea clan and the Sky Blue Eagle's strength. Now he has plotted against Locke, Kildan and Isaac. The strength of various countries has been weakening, and only the army directly controlled by the imperial family is gradually growing. It seems that everything is under the calculation of this woman.

But what she wants is just to repeat the glory and power of the past in the imperial family of Light. Who is right and who is wrong in this game of power?
