Banner of the Evil God

At the same time, in the palace of the Kingdom of Thousand Springs, the contemporary king Deke Spring was also looking sad.

As the king of a country, he certainly won't worry about not having enough cannon fodder. He is worried about another thing.

Not long ago, he just received reliable news that the Orc Empire sent about two thousand elite soldiers to support the Dwarf Kingdom.

Two thousand people is not a large number, but if these two thousand people are elite soldiers, it is completely different.

The terrain of the Duanyun Mountain Range is not open, and tens of thousands of troops cannot form a formation. Two thousand elite soldiers are enough to guard the dangerous points, and even thousands of troops cannot break through.

Not to mention, the orcs can make up for the biggest shortcomings of the dwarves - although their shaman spells have the shortcoming of short distance, they are at least much more efficient and have a much larger range than the dwarves' rune spells, which is good for war. The auxiliary effect is not at the same level at all.

Deke picked up the secret information and read it carefully again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Due to the change of emperor, the Orc Empire was slightly turbulent in terms of personnel, and spies found many opportunities in this. But even so, the intelligence they collected was not detailed enough. They only knew that two thousand elite soldiers were sent, including many spellcasters, but who exactly came? How many spellcasters are there? They really had no way of finding out.

These are real secrets, and no matter how hard the spies from the Country of Thousand Springs try, they are not that easy to find out.

After all, spies are not omnipotent.

As for prophecy spells and detection spells, if you can predict orcs, you can counter-prophet, and if you can detect orcs, you can counter-detect them. It is true that there are human gods behind the Kingdom of Thousand Springs, but there are also orcs behind the Orc Empire. God, the two sides have been at loggerheads for so many years, who can take advantage?

So King Dike can only be here alone, frowning, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, he sighed, sent someone to find the chief mage, and showed him this information.

"Things are getting difficult!" The Chief Mage's face darkened, "This battle is not easy to fight!"

"Yes! If the order had not been issued, I would have even planned not to fight." The king smiled bitterly, "If we fight like this, even if we win, it will only be a miserable victory, and the losses will probably be greater than the benefits!"

"If you ask me, it's better not to fight. It's nothing more than a matter of embarrassment. As long as you can get benefits, what's the shame?" the chief mage advised, "If you can make me become a demigod now, even if you have to take off all my clothes, Man Yuquan If a dog barks in the city, that’s not a problem!”

His examples are extreme, but persuasive. King Dike lowered his head and pondered.

The king thought and thought, his face changed again and again, and finally he sighed deeply and shook his head.

"No, this is not a matter of my personal face. Going back on my word on such a major matter is worse than losing the war! Rather than withdrawing the order, I might as well reduce the scale of the war and send two or three thousand people to deal with it and suffer a loss. , then withdraw the troops and accuse the orcs of colluding with the dwarves for their evil intentions!"

The chief mage nodded slightly: "This is a hopeless solution, I think it is acceptable."

"But I still want to win this battle." King Deke said with some reluctance. "The last five generations of kings have never suffered a defeat in foreign conquests. I don't want to set this example! Future generations will laugh at me. !”

The chief mage knew his grandfather back then, and was a close friend with his father. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but sigh.

He has no children and almost regards Deke as his own son. Of course, he does not want Deke to lose such a big face.

However... if you don't want to be embarrassed, you have to win this battle. But winning this battle is not easy!

After pondering for a long time, he said: "I have an idea, maybe it's worth trying..."

"What do you think?" Deke asked hurriedly.

"If we want to win this battle, I think we should strengthen the magical power of our army. To this end, we can ask for help from the Mystic Tower Federation and ask them to send some high-level battle mages to support - one or two legendary A mage, of course, would be better.”

King Deke nodded repeatedly, but then frowned and said: "That incident... It would be a good thing for the Secret Tower Federation not to add insult to injury. How could they support us?"

"It happened more than ten years ago, and it didn't work out after all. Don't take it too seriously." The chief mage said with a smile, "As long as there are enough benefits, it's not uncommon for enemies to become allies in a blink of an eye."

"But what kind of benefits can we offer to win over them?" the king asked. "The land is not bordering, and they are probably not short of money. What is it that they need that we can provide?"

The Chief Mage pondered.

After a while he whispered something.

King Dike's eyes widened and he shook his head at first, but after thinking about it, he also fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he sighed and nodded heavily.

After receiving permission, the Chief Mage said goodbye and left. Not long after, he used teleportation magic to reach the Supreme Tower, the capital of the Mystic Tower Federation.

As a legendary mage, he would naturally be received by people in the Supreme Tower. Even if it is said that he is directly related to the Thousand Springs Kingdom's attempt to use a large-scale teleportation array to attack the Federation for more than ten years, in the country of wizards, the word "supposedly" is not enough to blame a legendary wizard.

What's more, he also brought a gift that the top federal officials dreamed of.

"Are you serious?" Looking at the thing, several legendary wizards of the Secret Tower Federation were all unable to remain calm. They whispered to each other, and then the oldest one asked, "This is not a joke!"

"I brought the things, do you think it looks like a joke?"

"To be honest, we really want this." Another legendary wizard said, "But if the price is to fight the Orc Empire for it..."

"So what?" The chief wizard asked calmly, "Does the Mage Country still care about who it is against? Don't tell me that you are afraid of orcs."

"How is that possible!"

"Since you are not afraid, what does it matter if you fight a war with orcs as long as the benefits are enough?" The chief wizard said, "As long as we can win, nothing else is a problem, right?"

The oldest legendary wizard nodded: "You are right, as long as we can win, nothing else is a problem. But... what can you use to guarantee that we will definitely win?"

The chief wizard looked like He laughed as if he had heard a funny story: "You must be kidding me! If it was a war involving the whole country, it would be fine. But for a war involving thousands of people, who can match us when our two countries join forces?"

"The orcs are not weak." said the old wizard, whose age is even older than the history of some countries. "If nothing else, they have the largest number of legendary warriors in the entire continent."

"Not now." The chief wizard shook his head. "They just died several times."

"But that will only benefit them." said the old wizard. "After getting rid of that group of people, their government orders are now smooth and the efficiency of the whole country has increased. It won't be long before their national strength will be significantly improved."

"We are talking about the war in front of us, not other things." The chief wizard said calmly, "In fact, when you saw this thing, you had already made your choice, didn't you?"

Several leaders of the Secret Tower Federation looked at each other and nodded one after another.

The next day, the Secret Tower Federation and the Thousand Springs Country announced a temporary alliance to fight against the Orc Empire that had extended its claws beyond the grassland.
