Chapter 31 Sorry To Trouble You
Kumera and Lakuri were brothers who grew up playing together. Later, they used their talents to become the diplomatic envoys of Mayton and Kalanli.
These two countries were originally alliance countries. The kings were as close as brothers and the queens could be used interchangeably. Therefore, the relationship between Kumela and Lakuri has been maintained.
They were called the Raku brothers and made indelible contributions to the diplomatic career of Mayton and Kalanli.
Today they came to see the King of Winter at the request of the kings of the two countries, and they also brought very urgent news. They rode griffins at lightning speed all the way without stopping.
As the original Cologne Empire troops stationed at the Emerald Border were urgently recalled by Pope Barda, the pressure on the Elf Forest suddenly decreased, and even began to prepare for action, with signs of launching a counterattack.
Originally, Mayton and Kalanli could hold on for a while, but they didn't expect that Cologne's army would never come back.
By the time we react, the Cologne Empire will be gone...
The Elf Queen of the Elf Forest didn't know if she had eaten some gunpowder. After knowing that the Cologne Empire could not send any more reinforcements, she immediately launched a fierce attack on the Emerald Border.
Today, the coalition forces of Merton and Kalanli blocking the Emerald border are still struggling to support themselves, but without the part of the Cologne Empire's military power, there is an unstoppable trend, and they can only retreat to the Emerald Fortress.
So they had two purposes for coming today. One was to test the identity of the newly appointed Winter King, and the other was to ask for help from the Winter King.
But what frightened Kumela and Lakuri was that the Winter King was not as amiable as the people of Winter City described.
Instead, he was like a furious lion, sitting high on the throne, his eyes like the cold wind blowing hard on their faces, making their hearts freeze.
So, rumors kill people.
And what is the situation with the white-haired fox-eared maid behind King Winter? The murderous intent in her eyes is almost condensed into red light, right?
Who are these people...
The diplomatic brothers, who were only powerful knights and archmages, cowered on the ground, no longer daring to look up, mainly because they were really scary.
"Tell me why you're here."
Xiwei's voice was cold, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. The hands holding the armrests of the throne were bursting with veins. With a "click", the solid Iron Throne was crushed to pieces.
The metal shards fell on the obsidian floor and made a "ding-dong-dang" sound, which made the two diplomatic brothers tremble all over.
But they couldn't ignore King Winter's inquiry, so they could only answer tremblingly:
"Respected, respected King of Winter, now the military balance on the Emerald Border has been broken. The elves of the Emerald Forest have launched a counterattack. Our human coalition is struggling to support us. Today we are here to ask for your support."
Emerald Forest?
Xiwei frowned. He remembered that part of the Cologne Empire's army did join forces with Mayton and Kalanli's armies to block the elves at the Emerald Border.
This blockage lasted for more than two centuries. You can imagine the hatred of elves towards humans.
The troops stationed by the Cologne Empire at the Emerald Border were supposed to be transferred back by the Pope when they attacked Dragon Fire City. It is indeed understandable that the elves would seize the opportunity to counterattack at this time.
But it’s none of his business!
It had nothing to do with him that the elves wiped out Mayton and Kalanli, as long as these elves didn't cause trouble for him.
But is there any chance to join forces with the elves to annex Kalanli and Mayton?
Xiwei looked at the two diplomatic envoys lying on the ground with sinister eyes.
He has the second princess of the elf clan, the sister of the current elf queen, and so many awakened elegant elves to give him the scoop. It seems that he can do it this time.
If you are more ambitious, it is not impossible to wrap up the Elf Royal Court as well, so that there will be only two human powers in the Northern Continent, Andor and Kelid.
As for the orc naga, undead demons, etc., those are issues to be considered later.
At this moment, His Majesty Xiwei Golden Lion, the Winter King with the weakest military strength among the five empires in the northern continent, has actually begun to think about how to unify the human continent.
Xiwei touched his chin and tapped lightly on the throne with one hand. Theoretically, in terms of military strength, he could not defeat any current human empire, but he could borrow the power of the elves.
But how to negotiate with the elves without telling the spies of the two empires has become the biggest problem at present.
After thinking for a moment, Xiwei decided to wait and see how the situation changed. Maybe his intelligence network could penetrate it.
But it cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise the elves will not agree to cooperate when they find out that these two human empires are powerful outsiders.
Only by providing help in times of need can we win the hearts of the people.
"How long can your Kalanli and Mayton armies hold off the elven army? The Emerald Fortress, which has been built for two centuries, cannot be so vulnerable, right?"
Xiwei's tone was questioning, full of suspicion, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
The two diplomatic brothers looked at each other cryptically. With the current military strength of Kalanli and Mayton, it should not be a problem to rely on the Emerald Fortress to block the elves for half a year, but this sentence must not be said to the King of Winter.
They deliberated for a moment, and the elder Kumera crawled forward two steps, lowered his head and looked at the ground, and respectfully reported:
"Dear Winter King, our coalition can hold off the elves' army for at most three or four months. The Emerald Fortress has its weaknesses after all, and those long-eared monkeys jumping around are very good at assassination and night fighting."
"I think you don't want to see the territory belonging to us humans being occupied by aliens! Besides, if the elves capture Meton and Kalanli, you..."
Kumera did not continue, he believed that King Winter could understand what he meant.
If he continues to speak, he will be suspected of being a threat. There is no guarantee that the Winter King in front of him, who looks like a tyrant, will kill him.
"Two months."
Xiwei's voice was cold, and he paused and continued:
"I will send reinforcements in two months at most. The affairs of the Winter Empire have not been arranged yet, so I don't have the energy to support you."
Xiwei's words made the two diplomatic brothers couldn't help being surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces.
This time the mission has been completed, and I have a general understanding of the character of King Winter.
A brainless tyrant who believes whatever he says.
"On behalf of His Majesty the King, we would like to thank you for your kindness and your holiness."
After Rakuri and Kumera finished speaking, they looked at the Winter King eagerly, waiting for the Winter King to let them leave, but the cold voice of the Winter King came from the Iron Throne:
"The Winter Empire has strict rules. When you come to my territory, you must abide by my rules. Just now you looked up at me and my royal maid for 2.7 seconds. This is disrespectful."
"You raised your left foot when you entered the palace. This is a humiliation to me. It's still early and I won't kill the envoy. It just so happens that my soldiers have a lot of underwear that need to be washed, so I'll bother you two."
