"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Cassander and the Kingdom of Thrace are also requesting an audience."

Came the Tiefling Guard Captain's voice.

“They’re all here?”

"You're really quick, not leaving me any time to rest."

Cassius shook his wings, stretched his huge dragon body, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Kingdom of Cassander was ruled by Otis Aragon, the eldest son of Aragon I. He occupied the southeastern part of the Holy Fadlan Empire and owned vast territories including the Atea Plain, the Heris Basin, and the Great Forest of Levin.

The terrain there is flat and open, the climate is mild all year round, and the resources are extremely rich. It is called "the land gifted by the Sun God" and is also the birthplace of the Holy Fadlan Empire.

The old emperor once used the Cassander region as his base, continuously expanded the territory, and eventually created the behemoth of Holy Fadlan.

After the collapse of Holy Fadran, the main part of its huge body was divided into three parts, and the Kingdom of Cassander was the most powerful one among them.

And now, this war of kings has been going on for several months. The divine army of the Kingdom of Cassander has been fighting on two fronts, but it still firmly occupies the holy city of the former Fadlan Empire - Teotihuacan, known as the "City of the Sun", and continues to occupy the Pyramid of the Eternal Sun God.

Information about the Kingdom of Cassander was projected for everyone in the hall to see.

Cassius asked casually:
"What do you think the people from the Kingdom of Cassander are here for? Express your opinions, don't worry about mine."

"Declare war!"

"They're going to declare war on us!"

Tinija spoke enthusiastically.

The ministers in the hall were all helpless. Trump, their nominal "teacher", even lowered his head and covered half of his ugly face with his hands.

"why?"

The corner of Cassius' mouth twitched slightly.

Tinia seemed to think she was recognized, and hurriedly came up, wagging her tail, and answered excitedly: "Master, you are so powerful, they must be dissatisfied with you."

"Moreover, the ministers told me that Cassander is the richest place in the south. It is said that gold flows in the soil there. If we can rob it, hehe——"

"Ow—"

A scream interrupted her words.

The atavistic white dragon was kicked out of the door and rolled over a dozen times outside the hall before she stood up staggeringly - but at this time she was already seeing stars and was unconscious.

"Okay, go play."

Cassius said calmly, and then added: "Trump, you are responsible for cramming Tinija's politics and history courses. I want to see results within a year."

"Yes, Master."

"I will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Trump nodded repeatedly, forcing himself to smile a smile that was uglier than crying.

Instead, the Earth Elf Marshal Doro stepped forward, half-knelt in front of the steps, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think they are also here to seek cooperation."

"Oh? Why can't you see that?"

"Distant friendship and close attack."

Dolo spoke out the words he learned from the players word by word.

"In order to completely occupy Sunlight City, the Kingdom of Cassander is fighting against the Kingdom of Seleucids and the Kingdom of Thracian at the same time. Even though Cassander is the strongest among the three kingdoms, it is bound to be under tremendous pressure from the war."

"And the Empire is located in the rear of the Thracian Kingdom. We can launch a surprise attack on them from behind at any time through the Anzeta Corridor."

“Once the Empire joins the war, even if the Thracian Kingdom is not seriously damaged, at least it will force them to mobilize troops in a hurry and have no time to take care of the southern battlefield, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the front line of the Cassander Kingdom.” Doro’s words were full of confidence, steady and powerful, making everyone in the hall - including the Red Dragon - nod their heads repeatedly.

"very good."

"So do you think we should go to war?"

"."

Duo Luo lowered his head in thought, and after a long time he slowly raised his head. His tone was quite firm, and his eyes revealed great ambition.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this is a rare opportunity for the Holy Fadran to split. The Empire should gather all its forces in the south and cooperate with the Kingdom of Cassander to attack the Kingdom of Thrace from both sides, striving to completely divide the Thracian region."

"If we allow the South to form a unified empire again, it will be difficult for us to advance south again, and we will not be able to realize our grand blueprint of dominating the continent of Feanso."

This time, the Red Dragon did not nod in agreement, but continued to look at the people in the hall, motioning them to continue the discussion.

The ogre Rump took a step forward calmly and also half-knelt in front of the steps.

"Marshal Dolo, you are a little too extreme."

"The Empire has just unified Anzeta. War and exploitation by the nobles have caused severe damage to the production of the former northern countries. This place is in a time of urgency and development."

"We haven't even finished digesting the territory at home, and you want to put all your strength into the south?"

"Even if the Empire can really occupy the Thracian Kingdom, do you think we have the extra manpower to manage it?"

Trump asked sharply and mercilessly.

There was not much room for maneuver in his words - because he had already seen Cassius' opinion from his silent reaction just now.

"you"

Dolo's face flushed instantly, but his years of experience in high positions had enabled him to control his anger.

The Hobgoblin Marshal snorted and retorted, "Lord Rump, by the time your five-year development plan is completed, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Cassander will have destroyed the Kingdom of Thrace, and the Empire won't even be able to get a sip of soup."

Trump taunted, "Do you think the Thracian Kingdom will be destroyed within three years? Do you think the divine nobles under Wilham are just here to eat and do nothing?"

Seeing that he was losing the debate, Duo Luo simply used the rhetoric his player strategist had taught him.

"Hmph, I think you are frightened by their reputation. Are you underestimating the power of the empire? Or are you questioning the power of His Majesty?"

Trump just sneered and said slowly, "You have made progress, Marshal Dolo. You have actually started to learn the common methods used by humans."

"Trump, I think you are the one who has learned to be timid and cowardly like humans!"

"Courage without wisdom is called recklessness. In this regard, I'm afraid you are not as good as Miss Tinija outside the door."

"you"

"enough."

Cassius' voice rang out.

Trump and Doro quickly quieted down and returned to their original positions.

However, Dolo still glanced to the side angrily, while Trump was quite complacent, half-closing his eyes calmly, without any sign that he had just been through an argument.

"Let's stop this pointless argument and invite the envoy from the Kingdom of Cassander to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ministers answered in unison. (End of this chapter)
