Chapter 229 If it goes on like this, the head will be bald!
At the same time, the emperor of the empire next door...Gilniv, nicknamed the Blood Emperor by people, was as melancholy as Drautilon. Ever since the battle on the Katz Plains, Gilniv had never been able to have a good night's sleep.
Looking at Gilniv who looks very haggard now, it is very distressing.
However, today, Gilniv, who was already in a very bad situation, became even more depressed after receiving new information from the Sorcerous Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown.
After meeting with his trustworthy minister, Gilniv returned to his office, accompanied by two of the four generals of the empire, Bajed of Thunder and Nimble of Gale. The reason why it was not called Heavy Bomb
The reason for Lenas is that that guy might rebel at any time.
Although she is still saying that she will not leave until she has repaid the emperor's kindness, but looking at her attitude towards Elizabeth before, we know what is going on.
After returning to the office, the secretary who had been waiting there nervously saluted Gilniv and the two generals. Gilniv just waved his hand impatiently, sat down on his own special chair, and spoke.
"Don't worry about complicated things in a place like this. Secretary Besson, is there anything new happening in the Sorcerous Kingdom?" Gilniv asked.
The reason why the meeting with the ministers was interrupted midway was because he found out about the spies he sent out and passed back the latest news.
Therefore, he had to learn the news as soon as possible and respond to it, even though he was discussing with the ministers the alliance between the Dragon Kingdom and the Sorcerer Kingdom and the introduction of undead labor.
"Yes, Your Majesty... the intelligence personnel sent to the Dragon Kingdom and previously deployed in the Sorcerous Kingdom have passed back the latest information. Specifically..." Secretary Besson respectfully handed a dossier to Gilniv
.
Gilniv took it and looked at it for a while, his already melancholy face gradually became distorted.
"What on earth is that pretending old woman doing!" Gilniff angrily threw the file on the table. The two generals and a secretary just stared in confusion, completely unaware of their own Emperor.
Why are you so angry?
"You all should take a look at it too!" Gilniv pointed at the file and said, then he slumped down on the backrest of his seat as if he had lost all strength, and held his forehead, which was beginning to hurt a little.
At first, after Gilniff discovered Princess Elizabeth's conspiracy, he already had the idea of subordinating the empire, but his idea was directly rejected by Princess Elizabeth herself.
It was said that the time had not come yet, but after seeing Ainz Ooal Gown's performance in the battle on the Kaz Plains, his thoughts of being subordinate were shaken, and he became a proud man who killed tens of thousands of people with a wave of his hand.
Will the vassal state and the empire still have a future?
Gilniv also discussed this issue with ministers he trusted, but the results were not satisfactory. Some said that they must attach themselves to the Sorcerous Kingdom as soon as possible, some said that they must resist, and some simply did not express their opinions.
No matter which choice is made, there will be no future for the empire.
After the two generals finished circulating the files to each other, they both looked embarrassed and handed the files to the secretary...
"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand why the Dragon Kingdom continues to rent undead labor from the Sorcerous Kingdom. Judging from previous information, the number of the first batch of undead labor seems to be greater than the number of their troops.
, no monarch with any sense would do this, right? Is there any hidden secret? For example, being controlled or something." Bajed said, his meaning was obviously pointing to the princess who can control the mind.
My lord, Elizabeth...
"Am I being controlled? This is impossible... If I am controlled and make some weird orders, you will definitely be able to tell, right? The prime minister next to the old woman, Maureen Petz, is a famous old fox. His words
She will definitely notice it. And... that old woman is a dragon, how can she be controlled so easily?" Gilniv said.
"Uh... But, Your Majesty... I won't find it strange that anything may be related to that adult." Bajed sighed helplessly.
Gilniff knew very well that the adult that Badjad was talking about was Elizabeth. Does that mean that the Dragon Kingdom's continuous introduction of undead labor was due to Elizabeth?
But... Judging from the information we have now, it is the Dragon Kingdom who took the initiative to seek an alliance with the Sorcerer Kingdom. Logically speaking, it should have nothing to do with Elizabeth. Besides, the Dragon Kingdom was still at war with the Beast Kingdom at that time. Elizabeth
If so, you shouldn’t join in the fun, right?
Judging from the intelligence, the Sorcerer Kingdom did not send any troops to rescue the Dragon Kingdom before sending the first batch of undead laborers there, so Elizabeth would not interfere in matters there.
"Are the Dragon Kingdom and the Orc Kingdom still at war? Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom wants to use the alliance to rent undead labor as an excuse to use the undead as its own troops to deal with the orcs?" Nimble asked.
own opinion.
"It is also very possible that the scale of the Beast Kingdom's invasion this time is unprecedented. It makes sense to seek self-protection from the Sorcerous Kingdom when it is unable to get support from the Theocracy." Gilniv
He said while thinking about the feasibility of this statement.
"..." Bajed and Nimble looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
After all, they did not know that the Dragon Kingdom and the Silian Theocracy had a personal relationship in private, and their impressions of the two countries only remained that the relationship between the two countries was not very harmonious due to differences in policies towards foreign races, and
It was indeed a bit surprising that his own emperor had just revealed the information that the Silian Theocracy and the Dragon Kingdom were actually having an affair behind the scenes.
"No...no, Your Majesty..." The Theocracy has sent reinforcements. Didn't they just report to you three days ago? Secretary Besson reminded Gilniv unnaturally.
"Well, I still remember this, but what can I do if I just send two people there? Even if those two people are both members of the Black Codex, the ace force of the Slian Theocracy, they can't do anything when facing tens of thousands of orc troops.
It won’t help, it’s obvious that the Slane Theocracy wants to leave them alone, and sending reinforcements to them is just perfunctory.” Gilniv waved his hand and said.
"But! The intelligence said that the orc army was repelled by two people sent by the Theocracy!" Secretary Besson continued.
"How is this possible... The fighting power of the orcs is far superior to that of us humans. Just the number of orc troops that invaded the Dragon Kingdom, let alone the Dragon Kingdom, turned around and attacked our empire. It would be difficult for us to deal with it. Two people fought back...
When did our empire's intelligence officers become so bad?" Nimble smiled, not believing what Secretary Besson said.
"I guess this is fake news released by the Dragon Kingdom in order to deceive others. After all, it was with the help of the undead that the orc army was defeated. If word spread...the Silian Theocracy will not just sit idly by and watch!" Bajed
said.
"..." After Gilniv heard the opinions expressed by his two generals, he vaguely felt something was wrong. After receiving the information that the Dragon Kingdom had repelled the orc invasion, his thoughts were indeed the same as those of his two generals.
are consistent.
Using the excuse of renting labor, he borrowed undead from the Sorcerous Kingdom to fight for him to repel the attack of the orc army, and then gave the credit to the reinforcements sent by the Theocracy.
However, if they want to ally with the Sorcerous Kingdom afterwards, they may break up with the Theocracy. However, with the protection of the Sorcerous Kingdom, there is nothing the Silian Theocracy can do against the Dragon Kingdom. This trick is something that the old woman who pretends to be naive will definitely think of.
Not coming out, but not necessarily if it's that old fox Maureen Petts.
However, this set of inferences is untenable under the current information, because the content of this set of information is that the Dragon Kingdom continues to rent the second batch of undead labor from the Sorcerous Kingdom, and the second batch of undead labor has now been
It is confirmed that we are heading towards the two mining cities in the Dragon Kingdom.
Gilniv knew that the lifeblood of the Dragon Kingdom was the two mining cities. If there were even undead stationed in such places, it meant... that the entire Dragon Kingdom was almost under the control of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Just now
This is also the reason why I am so angry.
To be honest...the only value of the weak Dragon Kingdom on the Central Continent is the two cities that produce rare metal ores. I made such a judgment before because I believed in the ability of the fox Maureen Petz, but now this old fox
He slapped himself hard directly.
As a result, it is completely unclear what the Dragon Kingdom wants to do. Almost all of their family's wealth has been handed over to the Sorcerer Kingdom. Could it be that the one being controlled is not the old woman, but Maureen Petz?
Gilniv couldn't help but think of this method.
"However, what our country's intelligence personnel reported back was that the orc army he saw at the front retreated immediately after suffering a devastating magic from one of them." Secretary Besson did not seem to give up on this.
statement.
"Haha... Secretary Besson, the reinforcements sent by the Theocracy are not the big devil Ainz Ooal Gown, how come there is still someone who can release any destructive big... magic..." Bajed originally maintained his attitude.
He said it with a smile, but at the end of the sentence, his own smile froze along with himself.
Gilniv also realized that this was what he always felt was wrong!
Elizabeth! It’s you who is causing trouble again, isn’t it? If anyone else can release destructive magic, besides Ainz Ooal Gown himself, it’s his own daughter! The extremely sinister Princess Elizabeth
Yes!
So it was approved! Everything was explained clearly! This princess somehow invaded the Theocratic Kingdom with her extraordinary powers, and came to support the Dragon Kingdom as a reinforcement of the Theocratic Country, and then conveniently infiltrated the Dragon Kingdom.
, or her purpose is to go to the Dragon Kingdom! Maybe! The abnormal large-scale invasion of the Dragon Kingdom by the Beast Kingdom was also instigated by the bastard princess!
Provoked a war, and then intervened with the help of reinforcements from other countries. After repelling the orcs, they immediately forced the Dragon Kingdom to submit under various conditions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lao Taopi and Maureen Petz to hand over the lifeblood of the Dragon Kingdom so easily.
of.
Although... there are still some doubts, this set of inferences is the most reasonable explanation now! Bajed is right. It mainly involves the princess, so I won't find it strange! Because with her methods, ability
, wisdom is enough to do things that ordinary people think are impossible!
"Sure enough... it's really her!" Gilniv scratched his head in annoyance, completely unaware that the blond hair on his head was slowly falling down.
