Li Ziyu left, leaving the city of beasts with a group of undead, and returned to his castle of the undead.
What happened in the main hall quickly spread throughout the capital.
The original joyful atmosphere was swept away. The orcs living in the city looked at the tall castle outside the city, fear and resentment revealed in their eyes.
The war started in three days.
Why is this happening?
Oh, because of Prince Moriel.
It's this stupid guy who caused us to go to war with the undead. This guy really deserves to die.
As more and more details in the hall came out, the orcs gradually understood that it was not the undead who wanted to start a war, but their prince who was stirring up trouble. This led to the Lord of the Undead issuing a declaration to start war in three days.
The crowds in the Beast Capital were excited. The orcs started a procession and blocked Prince Moriel's mansion, asking him to come out to explain and asking him to die to apologize. It was his recklessness that led the orcs to go to war with the undead.
Orcs don’t want war, they want peace!
The previous wars have caused them to lose too many relatives and friends, and they now need to recuperate.
"Thieves! They are all thieves!"
"How dare they!"
"I am a tiger, a proud tiger, I am the prince of the orc empire, no one can make me apologize!"
"I will never apologize! I didn't do anything wrong. I did it for the orcs and must preserve our glory!"
The prince's mansion was completely surrounded, and the servants were all trembling. Even if there were strong men in the mansion, they couldn't hold back so many people.
Whenever the door is opened at this time, the orcs parading outside will rush in and beat them all to death.
This is an extremely possible thing. After all, the orcs are martial, so they don't care so much. If something happens, let's fight first.
And Mo Lier didn't dare to act rashly. He knew that he had offended the public and not even the White Tiger Empress would come to protect him.
But he was very angry. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. It was obviously the fault of the Lord of the Undead, so why should he be blamed?
The unruly people outside the mansion had no idea how arrogant the Lord of the Undead was. They would not even greet the emperor of the Orc Empire when he saw them. This was a blatant disrespect to the Orc Empire. However, he just said a few words and the Lord of the Undead did not respond.
Happy.
Why!
No matter how powerful your undead is, this world is not your world. This is the grassland and the territory of the Orc Empire. How can you be so arrogant?
Mocking Li Ziyu in the main hall today was completely out of Moore's habit.
He was used to being arrogant and domineering, so he didn't take Li Ziyu, the Lord of the Dead, seriously, nor did he realize how great the Lord of the Dead was.
Habitually opening my mouth has resulted in this ending.
The palace was in a mess, all caused by Morier. He couldn't bear the grievance.
Isn't it just to start a war? Then let's start a war. He will let the undead see the bravery and bloody spirit of the soldiers of the Orc Empire!
…
The inner chamber of the royal palace.
Several orcs sat around the round table, and the White Tiger Empress sat on the main seat, looking calm and indifferent as usual.
The people who can enter the inner room and sit with the White Tiger Empress are naturally not ordinary orcs. They are all people with high positions in the orc empire and are trusted by the empress.
Several of them had not been in the Beast Capital before, but were in other cities. Now they knew that the undead tribe would start a full-scale war with the orc tribe in three days. They hurriedly used the teleportation magic circle to return to the capital and meet the White Tiger Empress.
A handsome man with sharp eyes and slightly gray temples spoke first, "Your Majesty, what is going on? Why did the undead suddenly declare war?"
This man's name is Qiratu, a pure-blooded orc from the Mountain Eagle clan, and one of the four generals under the White Tiger Empress.
Facing her most loyal subordinate, the White Tiger Empress sighed and said helplessly, "It's that idiot Mo Lier. The Lord of the Undead just arrived in Dadu. Before we said anything, he ran over to pick things up. Things started to get ugly.
It was so big that the Lord of the Undead was so angry that he said that the war would start in three days."
Snapped!
Three palms hit the table at almost the same time, and three figures stood up next to the round table. One was short and the other was tall. They were Honey Pot Man, Lion Man and Bear Man. They were the other three of the four generals under the command of the White Tiger Empress.
"If he wants to start a war, then he will start a war. Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to meet the enemy!"
The three orcs said in unison.
Neither honeypots nor werebears are pure-blooded orcs, but beast-headed men, retaining most of their beastly appearance.
Compared to Qilatu of the Mountain Eagle clan, these two are pure reckless men, with strong combat power but poor brains.
The Lionman is a pure-blooded orc, and his intelligence is even higher than Ziratul's. The problem is that this guy's personality is somewhat similar to Moriel's, impulsive and irritable. Whenever someone provokes the empress, he cannot maintain his sanity.
"Bocir, Raz, Osido, you three sit down first. Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet. Why are you so excited?"
An old fox woman sitting at the round table said gently.
The three generals, Boqir the honeypot man, Raz the bear man, and Osido the lion man, glanced at the old woman and then at the White Tiger Empress. Seeing that her expression was as usual, they sat down slowly with a groan.
The old fox woman has a very high status. She is the high priest of the orc empire, named Mauricia, and is in charge of the Hall of Heroes.
Among the orcs, ancestors are a very sacred place. Orcs do not believe in gods, but they have a strong ancestor worship. The Hall of Heroes in the Grassland Orc Empire is a place dedicated to worshiping the powerful ancestors of the orcs in the empire.
As a high priest, Mauricia is said to be able to communicate with the spirits of ancestors.
Even though she is very old, she is a magician. The older she gets, the more powerful her magic power becomes. Even if the four famous generals join forces, they can't say they can definitely defeat her.
More importantly, Mauricia is the most trusted person of the White Tiger Empress. On the way of the White Tiger Empress' growth, she guarded the White Tiger Empress like a protector and helped the Empress through many dangers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mauricia has three very serious scars on her body, all of which were left in order to save the empress.
Precisely because she had saved the empress several times, she became the most trusted person.
After Boqir, Raz, and Osido sat down, Mauricia turned to look at the White Tiger Empress and asked gently, "Child, tell me how to avoid war."
Mauricia is worthy of being the most trusted person by the White Tiger Empress. She knows the White Tiger Empress too well. The other party summoned them but did not directly talk about the war with the undead, which means that there is still a turning point in this matter.
The empress does not want to start a war, and Mauricia knows this very well.
The White Tiger Empress fought all the way to the throne. She seemed cold-blooded and decisive in killing, but Mauricia knew her heart.
Underneath the tough exterior, there is a heart full of scars and tenderness. Her heart is full of sorrow, and her kindness is hidden in it.
This is what the ancestral heroic spirits told her, so she will wholeheartedly assist the White Tiger Empress to ascend to the throne. Otherwise, how could she, the high priest of the Imperial Hall of Heroic Spirits, help a princess at will.
The White Tiger Empress had no choice but to become tough. If she was not tough and decisive, she would die and she would not survive. Anyone could understand her struggle for survival, even the ancestors.
But all this did not change her heart, she was still kind.
She doesn't treat the people of the orc tribe like she treats her ministers. This is the best proof.
The White Tiger Empress never wanted war to come, because it would cause death and injury to her people, and she was reluctant to do so.
The White Tiger Empress was silent for a moment and then said, "High Priest, the Lord of the Dead wants me."
Mauricia was stunned. She thought of many possibilities. For example, the Lord of the Undead would force the Orc Empire to cede land and require a lot of resources. But she did not expect that the other party wanted the Empress.
What kind of development is this? Is the Lord of the Undead a pure lustful person who likes the appearance of the empress of the Orc Empire?
If that's the case, then I'm afraid we really have to start a war.
She couldn't allow this to happen, and even the heroic spirits of her ancestors couldn't allow it. Couldn't the huge orc empire still protect their empress?
Mauricia stroked the staff that was as tall as a person, frowned and said, "The Lord of the Undead made a bold request. It is impossible for us, the emperor of the orcs, to exchange his beauty for peace! Any orc can
Will not agree."
"Yes! We don't agree!"
"The Orc Empire is not cowardly enough to use His Majesty's beauty to seek peace."
"Go to war with them!"
Bochir, Raz, and Osido immediately echoed, not sure whether they really understood or just followed the words, but they all looked indignant anyway.
On the contrary, Ziratul remained silent. His sharp eyes scanned everyone and finally landed on the empress. He did not believe that the Lord of the Undead could be so brainless.
Remembering the beauty of the empress is not a way to seek peace, it is humiliating the orcs, and in the end it will only lead to war because of arrogance.
Unless the Lord of the Dead decided to start a war from the beginning instead of seeking peace.
But according to his analysis, this is not the case in fact. Starting a war will do no good to any party now, only harm.
Even before the war with the Life Empire, Ziratul had already paid attention to the forces that did not belong to the Life Empire. They were equally powerful.
According to the information collected, the leader of that force was the Lord of the Undead, so he began to collect all information about the undead.
After analyzing for so long, various signs indicate that the undead do not want to go to war with the orc empire and nomadic tribes, and are even helping them grow.
The recently prosperous caravan was formed under the orders of the Lord of the Undead.
There must be something wrong here.
Sure enough, after the other three generals shouted angrily, the White Tiger Empress said leisurely, "The Lord of the Dead is not interested in me, but wants to make me a hostage."
silence.
Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt that things were more interesting.
Oh, it's not for the beauty of the empress.
That's okay...
It's okay, damn it!
Being a hostage, isn't this something more irritating than beauty?
Will the mighty Orc Empire send its emperor to other races to be used as hostages? This is simply impossible to agree to.
Ziratul asked, "Are there any other ways to prevent the war?"
"After the previous war, the national treasury was empty, and we did not have many resources to support fighting another war like this."
Ziratul is very familiar with the war preparations of the Orc Empire. He knows that if there is another war like this, even if they win, the Orc Empire will become extremely weak and may not be able to recover to its current situation for decades.
On the grassland, there is another force that is eyeing it. Once they weaken, the nomadic tribe will never give up such a good opportunity.
Even the Orc Empire cannot withstand three wars, and it will be the best case scenario for it to fall apart.
The only solution for now is to find a way to prevent the Lord of the Undead from starting a war.
Mauricia and Zilatu have similar ideas, "Even if we give up some territory and resources, that's fine. We can ask for peace from the undead. If he likes beauties, then we can send a large number of orc beauties, even princes'
The princess as a condition."
Avoiding war is the first priority. Except for the White Tiger Empress, all other conditions can be negotiated.
…
On the way back to the Castle of the Dead.
Damenlevsky approached Li Ziyu and asked, "Are we really going to go to war with the Orc Empire?"
Li Ziyu looked at Damenlevsky, who was full of excitement, and said helplessly, "Calm down, you have excitement written all over your face. Are you a war maniac?"
Damenlevsky shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I'm serious, okay."
Okay, okay, you are not, you are serious, you are smiling happily.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Damenlevsky is not a war maniac, he is just a simple fighting maniac.
Sighing, Li Ziyu replied, "I don't want to go to war with the Orc Empire. That would be of no benefit."
Damenlevsky suppressed his smile and nodded, "Let me just say, you are not the type to start a war casually. Are you doing it to get more benefits?"
Li Ziyu laughed loudly, but did not answer Damenlevsky's question.
Isn't this obvious?
If there are enough benefits, of course he will not start a war, but if the benefits provided by the other party are not enough, then go to war and he will get the benefits himself.
Li Ziyu is already an outlier among time travellers.
The vast majority of time-travelers regard the indigenous people as NPCs and do not care about the life or death of the indigenous people.
What large organizations focus on is not the indigenous people, but the territory, because the territory can bring benefits.
However, because his race is undead, Li Ziyu not only cares about the territory, but also cares about the indigenous people.
Talking about going to war in the main hall is just a matter of face. If the other party understands, there is no need to start a war.
Another point is that the White Tiger Empress is beautiful, but in terms of personality, from Li Ziyu's position, he doesn't like her.
She was a strong woman. Once Li Ziyu showed a little bit of weakness, he had no doubt that the other party would immediately turn against him.
Instead of waiting for the other party to make the first move, it is better to make the first move yourself.
Hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming.
If the White Tiger Empress is not dealt with, the next thing will not be easy to do.
Li Ziyu and the White Tiger Empress do not represent themselves, they represent two different forces.
Any compromise will have a great impact on the respective forces.
Back in the castle, Li Ziyu did what he should do. He was not in a hurry, nor did he contact Batubu or them. He planned to wait for news from the White Tiger Empress to see what she thought.
The next night, the White Tiger Empress sent an envoy to meet Li Ziyu.
coming.
Li Ziyu smiled in her heart.
He sent the undead to bring the envoys over and let them see his castle of the undead.
Show off your muscles, who can't?
The envoys were indeed shown off. The tall buildings in the castle, the numerous undead people coming and going, all impacted their nerves.
They didn't recover until they entered the castle.
The undead came to the door of the main hall, and the several-meter-high door slowly opened, and the undead signaled that they could enter.
Everyone in the mission took a deep breath and stepped into the main hall of the Castle of the Dead.
