283 Proceedings
Now the Book of Prophecy has a designated opportunity to prophecy every day. Although it is unreliable, it does not require any price to pay. Therefore, Yan Chong still remembered it and prepared to make another prediction.
"Dear Master, your most loyal servant greets you!" The middle-aged man's voice sounded, his tone was full of flattery.
What questions should I ask? Yan Chong thought, asking the orcs directly about the plan. The Book of Prophecy seems to be able to predict a relatively vague picture, which is related to the problem of prophecy, but is not specific enough.
It is not like the test question essay, he will answer whatever you ask, which is in line with the theme and highlights the central idea. The prophecy itself is mysterious and mysterious, but it is just to speculate on what may happen in the future through some complicated information.
However, the most important thing is the final result of the war.
"Who wins and loses this war?" Yan Chong asked again. He wanted to see if the answer of the Book of Prophecy was the same as last time. If there was a change, it would mean that this result was not very reliable.
As the words fell, the picture of the Imperial Palace appeared again on the Book of Prophecy. A group of orcs sank in the air. Then they rushed towards the palace, which eventually triggered a violent explosion and the entire Imperial City was completely destroyed.
It's exactly the same as last time!
It seems that the orc's plan has not changed, and the so-called peace talks are just a cover.
After putting away the Book of Prophecy, Yan Chong briefly sorted out his instrument dress, left the hotel, and called a carriage to go to the city lord's mansion.
In the palace.
Sofia sat in the study, on the sofa opposite, on the other side, a blonde old man was Edward Maca, the guardian of the Empire.
"These orcs are so overdoing!" Edward Maca said with an ugly face. "I feel that they have no intention of a peace talk at all, they are just brewing a deeper conspiracy."
Sophia's face was a little soft, and she said in a consoling tone: "Grandpa Edward, I really feel wronged. However, with the current situation, we are really not sure to resist the joint attacks of the Orc Alliance and the Prophets, so no matter what they think, we will drag them down."
Edward Maca is hundreds of years old and has been silently guarding the Maca Empire, so although Sophia is the next empress of the empire, she still respects him very much.
"Should we consider joining forces with the Third Academy to fight against the Orc Alliance and the Prophet? After all, the Prophet Association has formed a lot of hatred with the Star Academy." Sophia said again.
"This is a very risky strategy." Edward Maca frowned. "Not to mention what they did to us a hundred years ago, if they were invited, even if the war was won, their reputation would definitely be greatly enhanced in the empire. It would be like attracting a wolf into the house!"
As a guardian of the empire, Edward did not particularly care about the shame imposed on them by the Third House, because it was obviously not worth mentioning compared to the life and death of the country.
But it was also because of what happened a hundred years ago that the Empire knew the terrifying influence of the Third House.
Originally, if Benjamin Maca was only injured, it would not be a big problem. At most, there would be revenge and revenge. But the most important thing is that in the next few years, the Third House dominated the split of the empire, which made the Guardians feel panic.
It is precisely because the Maka Empire unified the Western Continent that the royal family had sufficient resources to cultivate generations of legendary professionals. The empire was split and lost more than half of its control over the Western Continent, which was a chronic death for the empire.
You should know that the three split kingdoms all occupy unique geographical locations and have irreplaceable resources to produce, and the losses of the Maca Empire are incalculable.
For the past century, the Maka Empire has dominated the Western Continent, but after a while, the three kingdoms may even escape from the secret support of the Third House, posing a direct threat to the Maka Empire.
When orcs invade, humans will share the same hatred for the enemy, but what about the civil war between humans? That is not necessarily the case.
"So, all we have to do now is to delay time," Sofia said. "It's better to let the Third House fight with the Prophets, and then we have the energy to fight against the Orc Alliance alone."
Unfortunately, the Orc Alliance was blocked by the Maka Empire before the three kingdoms, forming a natural barrier, otherwise the situation would not be so bad.
"Do you have any plans?" Edward pondered for a moment, nodded slightly.
...
Before Yan Chong arrived at the city lord's mansion, he showed off his identity badge of fire. The guards guarded at the door took him to a conference hall.
There were more than a dozen people sitting around a long table in the hall, including men and women, with the lowest aura of bronze stairs, and the highest a middle-aged woman sitting in the first seat, reaching the golden stairs.
Yan Chong had read the other party's information before. This woman was the city lord of Xiaguang City, Deerin White, the Marquis of Xiaguang of the Empire.
"Jason Connor has met the Marquis." After Yan Chong entered, he performed a knightly salute.
"You're Jason Connor?" Deering White said with a smile when she saw Yan Chong.
In addition to the people from the City Lord's Mansion, there are also representatives of the military, people from the Tinder Organization, and people from the other main city. Yan Chong was assigned by Sophia alone and represented the Tinder Headquarters of the Imperial City, so Deering White also attached great importance to him.
Before the July coup, the aristocrats' private soldiers were very large, but now, Sophia has concentrated all the military power, and the city lord has only a small number of city guards, and its power has been greatly reduced.
"Okay, since everyone is here, I'll talk about our next task." Deering White said.
"As the peace talks representatives of the Maka Empire, we will negotiate this war with the orcs. Our mission is just one word - drag!"
"I have several plans here."
At this time, a young woman with glasses suddenly interrupted and said, "Marquis, aren't we going to end the war as soon as possible? Why should we drag it on?"
Deering White frowned slightly and glanced at the other party. If it were in the past, no one would dare to speak like this in front of her, whether it was status or personal strength, especially if the other party was a bronze-level professional, his identity was still a civilian.
However, now, although I am a marquis and the lord of Xia Guang City, I do not have much binding force on her, because this young man is a member of the Fire of Xia Guang City and is likely to be the first member of the newly established House of Assembly.
