Because of Thorok's words, all the civil and military ministers of the Otto Empire fell into deep thought. Including King Cook, they also became quiet.
In fact, the Xiongfeng Empire has always been under pressure, and small countries nearby have been annexed one after another. Everyone here has also thought that one day the Xiongfeng Empire will send troops to attack the Otto Empire!
The Otto Empire's military strength is slightly inferior to that of the Xiongfeng Empire, so it should not be an opponent in a head-on battle.
The gap in strength between the two sides will be even more obvious in the Dragon Slaying War. The casualties of the Otto Empire will definitely be worse than those of the Xiongfeng Empire, and the strength gap between the two sides will become even greater after the war!
Suddenly, all the civil and military officials in the palace hall were in panic, looking at each other at a loss.
Cook was distraught and felt a headache: "I have to admit, Sorok, what you said is right! But what can we do? If we don't join the Human Empire coalition, perhaps because of the lack of strength, the coalition will be defeated, and the giant army will be defeated.
Dragons are raging across the continent. At that time, it will definitely be a huge crisis for the human race! Even if the dragons do not attack the human country, our Otto Empire may be liquidated by the coalition forces and be besieged because we refuse to help fight against the dragons! But joining the coalition forces, if you want
To win, you must hold back. You cannot force the Xiongfeng Empire when the envoy is killed for the time being, so as not to cause chaos within the coalition and lead to the final loss of the war! And regardless of whether we win or lose the war, our country's military strength may not be enough to defend the country anymore. It is very likely that
Being annexed by a neighboring country! This situation is happening on both sides, what should we do?”
"Your Majesty, maybe we can ask the four empires to come forward after the war and let them uphold justice! For the sake of the coalition forces, they should make the King of the Xiongfeng Empire surrender. No matter how strong the Xiongfeng Empire is, it can't stand up to the four empires.
It’s just a small country that can be destroyed with a single move. With the four great empires here, the Xiongfeng Empire should not dare to invade and annex our country!” Prime Minister Longbart stood up and said.
"Is this... okay?" Cook asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, another general stood up, "I don't think it's appropriate!"
"General Yamai, what's wrong?" Cook asked.
"Your Majesty," General Yamai said loudly, "I agree with what Sorok just said. The four empires are probably all trying to compete for greater power, so they organized this human coalition to fight against the dragon! Wait until the dragon is defeated
, they have accomplished their goals, how can they care about the life and death of small countries like us? In fact, they may even force our country to surrender and join their territory faster than the Xiongfeng Empire!"
"This..." Cook's heart skipped a beat, feeling that it was very possible.
"That's right! The four great empires are simply unreliable." Several other officials also agreed.
"Then what should we do?" Cook felt quite sad. Regardless of winning or losing the war, it seems that the situation in the Otto Empire is relatively difficult!
"There are only two ways to fight or not to fight! However, no matter which way we take, it will be devastating for us!" General Yamai sighed.
Hearing this, Cook felt sad in his heart: "Is there really no other choice besides these two roads? The Otto Empire is destined to be destroyed in my hands?"
"Your Majesty," Sorok stood up at this moment, "I think there should be a third way!"
"Where's the third way?" Cook looked at him immediately.
Sorok looked around and said slowly under the gaze of the civil and military ministers: "We can participate in the coalition battle, but we will not contribute! We can even switch sides and seize the opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Xiongfeng Empire! In this way
, the main force of the Xiongfeng Empire is completely destroyed, and the national strength will be inferior to ours. Let alone invasion, I am afraid that we will always worry about our sending troops to attack. At that time, let alone an apology, the King of Xiongfeng Empire will definitely do everything possible to compensate our envoys
The loss will satisfy His Majesty’s anger!”
"But is this too unkind? Moreover, such behavior will make our country the public enemy of all human countries!" Cook shook his head and said, "Besides, what if our defection leads to the victory of the Dragon Clan. At that time
If the Dragon Clan attacks the Otto Empire in turn, it will still result in the destruction of the country!"
"Your Majesty," Sorok said loudly, "Nowadays, almost every human country only knows that the coalition forces are going to fight the dragons, but they ignore that the Holy Dragon City they are attacking is actually a human city! Keen, the lord of Holy Dragon City,
As a human being, he can cooperate with the Dragon Clan and suddenly appear in front of everyone. Doesn't it break a series of false histories of the Dragon Clan? Who said that the Dragon Clan and humans are mortal enemies? Who said that the Dragon Clan will only attack the human kingdom?
Slaughter the human race and plunder human wealth? No matter whether we win or lose the war this time, we can choose the third way!"
"Gulu~" Cook couldn't help but swallowed when he heard this: "The third way?"
All the civil and military officials were also stunned, looking at Sorok without saying a word.
"That's right! The third way," Sorok said confidently, "is that we can form an alliance with Holy Dragon City, then fight with the coalition forces, and turn against each other at critical moments. Regardless of whether the coalition forces win or not, our country's situation has reached a certain point.
The worst level! Then why not take a gamble and fully assist the Dragon Clan and Holy Dragon City to win! When the coalition forces are defeated, our country will have the protection of the Dragon Clan, which surrounding country dares to take action at will? Moreover, our country is adjacent to Holy Dragon City, so
Being able to come and go for rescue in a timely manner.”
"Then how will the entire human race evaluate us in the future?" Prime Minister Longbart frowned and said, "I don't think it's appropriate for this matter! Moreover, what reason do you have for saying that the dragon race will alliance with our country?"
"Prime Minister," Sorok turned to look at him and said, "There is a saying that I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"you say!"
"History is written by the victors!" Sorok said with a smile, "As long as we win in the end, then everything is ours to decide! But if we do nothing, the Otto Empire will eventually be completely buried in history.
In the torrent! I love this country very much and I want it to last forever! And this is the only way that can help us do it. What do you think?"
"I still said the same thing, how are you sure that the Dragon Clan will ally with our country?" Longbart asked with a frown.
"That's right!" Cook nodded and asked, "Even if we want to cooperate with the other party unilaterally, the other party may not think highly of us!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister," Sorok immediately clapped his hands when he saw that the time was right. Someone immediately brought in a treasure box from outside, "There is actually no need to worry about this matter! In fact, just today, there was a man from Holy Dragon City
The envoy came to our capital. He originally wanted to see His Majesty directly, but I stopped him. According to the envoy, Holy Dragon City has no possibility of going against any force, and the Dragon Clan has no idea of harming the human race. They just want to settle down.
They live quietly, but are hyped and threatened by some people with ulterior motives. Holy Dragon City longs for peace and does not want war. But if a war really happens, they will definitely defeat any enemy with all their strength! Of course, they also hope for some rational countries
, be able to think about the entire human race, and not fall into the schemes of some big countries and be used at will. Here are some gifts from the Lord of Holy Dragon City, including a rare space prop in the world, signed by the Lord of Holy Dragon City.
The magic trading license, as well as some strange fruits. These are priceless treasures, and Holy Dragon City hopes to gain the friendship of our subjects!"
