Raven then called all the core members together and announced the decision.
When everyone heard such a grand plan, their blood boiled. No one hesitated, and no one doubted it.
You know, the Magic City will consume a huge amount of resources and materials, and the manpower and material resources invested are incalculable, which will inevitably change Lentini's current development model.
Many resources that could have been invested in other areas will be sharply reduced, resulting in unbalanced or even deformed development. It is difficult to say whether this is good or bad.
But since Raven has made up his mind, they will follow him until the end, even if it ends in nothing, it will be worthy of their passion.
At night, Raven stood quietly in front of the window, silent for a long time.
At this moment, he was under tremendous pressure. The Magic City was a gamble. If he wanted to win, he would have to hope for a miracle. If he lost, he would most likely die and the city would be destroyed.
At that time, I won’t care about life or death, but what about my mother, Angie, and the friends behind me?Originally they could have escaped before the crisis came, but now they are tied up here by themselves.
Ugh!With a deep sigh, Raven looked determined.
Now that the plan has started, he has no way out.
Next, all of Lentini's resources will be invested in the Magic City. Perhaps this is just a drop in the bucket, but he will keep going.
The moon sets, the sun rises, no matter how many lives sigh, they cannot stop the operation of the law of sequence.
A new day has arrived in the city of Isaac.
Three war falcons flew into the city from three different directions and landed in front of the palace almost at the same time.
From the color of their clothes and armor, it can be seen that they belong to three different legions.
Soon, three urgent secret letters were placed on Titus's desk at the same time. At this time, the court affairs were not yet finished and all the ministers were present.
After reading it, Titus was silent for a long time, and rarely leaned back in the imperial chair and closed his eyes.
In the huge court, all the ministers looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Huntington, please read it to the ministers." The former emperor waved his hand tiredly.
"Yes." The palace steward had noticed the emperor's abnormality and picked up the secret letter meticulously.
After just glancing at the letters, the old man who had been in charge of the palace for decades almost dropped them to the ground because of shaking hands.
Now even Meyer was moved, his face darkened.
"First, Duke Doran urgently reported that Heimer and Pu LS appeared together at the foot of Linjiang City and openly attacked our army. Fortunately, they were resisted by Master Cosi and Murdosak. Both sides suffered losses, and the battle of Linjiang City failed."
"Hiss!" A sound of inhalation suddenly came from below.
"The second thing is that the Duke of Teutonic has urgently reported that the Heinxi army stationed in the eastern border has begun a large-scale attack. He has temporarily repelled it, but the Borosa army has also begun to move. The war may start at any time. The Duke requested additional reinforcements."
In the court, some ministers had already begun to wipe the sweat from their heads.
"Third, Captain Puyol has urgently reported that the World Gate has erupted with an unprecedented star tide that lasted for five days before it was completely closed." The old butler's voice trembled."Ran Fa, who is stationed there, discovered that there is a new kind of etheric burning force in the star tide - the fire of chaos. This is consistent with Master Cauchy's previous suggestion. It is suspected that the Poincare order... has undergone a jump!"
"Wow!" State Secretary Harper suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned as pale as paper.
This news was like a thunderclap, making everyone's hair stand on end!
Originally, Poincare's transition was just a guess. Even though it was proposed by Master Cauchy, people still had fantasies about it before it happened.
However, when it became a reality, everyone felt a kind of despair like a landslide!For a moment, everyone felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar! This was the darkest moment of Dante's life!"Give Harber a seat," Titus said solemnly, "The situation has suddenly changed. Please discuss how to deal with it."
There was silence for a long time. The amount of information contained in these letters was too much and too heavy.
Each of these three pieces of news is a major event that shook the government and the country, especially the last one, but they all came at the same time today!
Finally, Chancellor Meyer spoke.
“Your Majesty, in my opinion, the first two letters are talking about the same thing, that is, Turan and Heinxi have joined forces.
Although the timing was somewhat unexpected, it was within our previous expectations, just a lot earlier.”
He continued while hesitating:"For some unknown reason, the Pompeii Kingdom's army has all withdrawn back to the country. Currently, there is no war in Sux Territory. Your Majesty can transfer the Yaoye Legion to the eastern front to support the Duke of Teutonic."
“As for Borobensa, we need to send an envoy to Riverrun again to negotiate peace with the former Emperor Stav. We can discuss any conditions he proposes. Even if he wants the World Gate, we can sign a paper agreement first.
In any case, we must keep him steady until we defeat Heinxi."
"As for the matter of the World Gate, I suggest granting several eastern territories the right to compulsory conscription so that they can quickly form a sizable army to assist the Morgan Cavalry Regiment in case of a worst-case scenario."
After the prime minister finished speaking, everyone began to savor the food.
“However, the Yaoye Army has already lost more than half of its troops. Although the lords do not say it on the surface, they are already extremely resentful in their hearts.
If we drag them to face the more powerful Heinxi right after the war in the northwest ends, I am afraid it will cause a strong backlash, so we have to consider it. "
The speaker was Minister of State Harber, and as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
There are also many nephews and nephews in the Yaoye Legion among the people in the field, and half of them have been killed. Harber's words were meant not only for the lords outside, but also to remind them.
"In my opinion, we can adopt a rotation method. Half of these nephews and nieces will return to their families, and the other half will go to the East Territory, and then they will be exchanged after three months." Minister of Military Affairs Delong said.
"Let's do as the Minister of Military Affairs says." Titus thought for a moment and agreed. As the former emperor, he had to consider the ideas of most lords and even make some compromises.
After all, they are the foundation of the original country.
A slight exhalation sound was heard in the hall, and some people's tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Lord Meyer, just now you said that you can negotiate with Borosa in any way, even give them the Gate of the World. I absolutely do not agree with that," Archduke Roentgen shook his head and continued:"Poincare is Dante's national foundation. We must not let him go, even if it is a verbal agreement, let alone a signed national deed."
“The most urgent task is to prevent them from joining the war, otherwise the Eastern Front will inevitably collapse, which will lead to the complete collapse of the Northern and Southern Fronts, and even the Western Front.
The war situation affects the whole body, it's just a piece of paper, we will tear it up after we recover."
The ministers looked at Mayer in surprise.
The old prime minister valued reputation and contracts the most in his life. I didn't expect that he would talk about breaking the contract so casually at this time.
Roentgen was startled and instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"What if the original emperor also thought of this and refused to agree?"
Meyer smiled and said confidently, "He will definitely agree. This contract can give them a moral high ground so that they can get their hands on the World Gate. Don't forget that Turan and Heinxi are also fighting for it."
“But, once the contract is signed, what if the original emperor wants to take over the World Gate immediately?If we don't agree, the end result will still be war, and then wouldn't it be more trouble than gain?" Roentgen frowned.
Meyer said leisurely: "So, our envoy must grasp the word delay. He will 'encounter' an assassination at a necessary moment. In short, the later the signing, the better."
