Chapter 369: The Gift of the Holy Dragon City
Because of Sorok's words, the civil and military ministers of the Otto Empire fell into deep thought. Even King Cook quieted down.
In fact, the pressure of the Xiongfeng Empire has always been there, and the small countries next to it have been annexed one after another, and everyone here has also thought that one day the Xiongfeng Empire will send troops to attack the Otto Empire!
The Otto Empire's strength is slightly inferior to the Majestic Empire, and it should not be an opponent if it fights head-on.
The difference in strength between the two sides will be more obvious in the Dragon Slaying War. At that time, the casualties of the Otto Empire will definitely be worse than those of the Heroic Wind Empire, and the gap in strength between the two sides will become bigger after the war!
All of a sudden, all the civil and military ministers in the palace hall panicked, looking at each other at a loss.
Cook was distraught, and felt even more headache: "I have to admit that what you said is not wrong, Sorok! But what can we do? If we don't join the Human Empire Alliance, maybe because of the lack of strength, the coalition army will be defeated, and the dragon will ravage the countries of the continent." At that time, it will definitely be a great crisis for the human race! Even if the dragon does not attack the human kingdom, our Otto Empire may be liquidated by the coalition forces, and will be besieged because of refusal to assist in fighting the dragon! However, if you want to win the alliance, you must hold back, and for the time being, you must not force the Xiongfeng Empire in the event of the envoy being killed, so as not to cause chaos within the coalition army, which will lead to the final loss of the war! And no matter whether the war is won or lost, my country's military strength is probably not enough to defend the country, and it is very likely to be annexed by neighboring countries! This is the situation on the left and right, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty, perhaps we can ask the four empires to come forward after the war and let them administer justice! For the sake of the face of the same coalition forces, they should be able to bring the king of the Heroic Wind Empire to his knees. No matter how strong the Mighty Wind Empire is, it is just a small country that can be destroyed in front of the four empires. There are four empires, and the Mighty Wind Empire should not dare to invade and annex our country!" Prime Minister Lombat stood up and said.
"This ...... Will it work?" asked Cook, frowning.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, another general stood up, "I don't think it's right!"
"General Yamai, why is it wrong?" asked Cook.
"Your Majesty," General Yamai said loudly, "I agree with what Sorok said just now, the four empires are probably all fighting for greater power, so they have organized this human alliance to fight against the dragons! When the dragons are defeated and they have completed their goals, who will care about the lives and deaths of our small countries? They may even force our country to surrender and join their territory faster than the Mighty Wind Empire!"
"This ......," Cook chuckled in his heart, thinking that the possibility was also very high.
"Yes, the four empires are simply unreliable. Several other officials agreed.
"Then what should we do?" Cook only felt quite sad, no matter whether the war was won or lost, it seemed that the situation in the Otto Empire was more difficult!
"There are only two ways to fight or not to fight! But either way we take it will be devastating for us!" General Yamai sighed.
Hearing this, Cook felt a pang of sadness in his heart: "Is there really no choice but these two paths?
"Your Majesty," Sorok stood up, "I think there should be a third way!"
"Where's the third way?" Cook looked at him immediately.
Sorok looked around, and under the gaze of the civil and military ministers, he said slowly: "We can participate in the coalition battle, but we can't do anything! We can even turn against each other and seize the opportunity to destroy the main army of the Xiongfeng Empire! In this way, the main force of the Xiongfeng Empire will be completely wiped out, and the national strength will be inferior to ours." When the time comes, let alone the invasion, I am afraid that we will always have to worry about our troops attacking. At that time, let alone apologize, the King of the Heroic Wind Empire will definitely do everything in his power to compensate for the losses of our envoy group in order to quench His Majesty's anger!"
"But that's too unkind, and such an act would make our country the enemy of all human nations!" Cook shook his head, "Besides, in the event that our defection leads to the victory of the dragons." When the dragon clan turns around and attacks the Otto Empire, it will still be the end of destroying the country!"
"Your Majesty," Sorok said loudly, "Nowadays, almost every human nation only knows that the coalition forces are going to fight the dragons, but they ignore that the Holy Dragon City that they are going to attack is actually a human city! Kean, the city lord of the Holy Dragon City, who is a human but can cooperate with the dragons, suddenly appears in front of everyone, doesn't it break a series of false histories of the dragons? Who said that the dragons and humans are mortal enemies? Who said that the dragons will only attack the human kingdom, slaughter the human race, and plunder the wealth of the human race? Regardless of whether we win or lose the war this time, we can choose the third way!"
"Gollum~" When Cook heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "The third way?"
The civil and military ministers were also dumbfounded, looking at Sorok and unable to say a word.
"That's right! The third way," Sorok said confidently, "we can ally with the Holy Dragon City, and then fight with the coalition forces, and turn against each other at a critical moment. Anyway, whether the coalition forces win or not, the situation in our country has already reached the worst level! Then it is better to gamble and go all out to assist the dragon clan and the Holy Dragon City to achieve victory! When the coalition forces are defeated, our country has the protection of the dragon clan, and which surrounding country dares to take action at will? Moreover, our country is adjacent to the Holy Dragon City, and it can also come to the rescue in time. ”
"What will the entire human race say about us in the future?" said Prime Minister Lombart, frowning, "I don't think this matter is appropriate! Besides, what reason do you have to say that the dragon clan will ally with our country?"
"Prime Minister," Sorok said, turning his head to look at him, "there's a sentence, I don't know if you've heard it?"
"You say!"
"History is written by the victors!" Sorok said with a smile, "as long as we win in the end, then everything is up to us!But if we do nothing, in the end the Otto Empire will be completely buried in the torrent of history! I love this country, and I want it to last forever! And this is the only way to help us do it, what do you think?"
"I'm still saying that, how can you be sure that the Dragons will ally with our country?" asked Lombart, frowning.
"That's right!" Cook nodded as well, "Even if we unilaterally want to cooperate with each other, the other party may not be able to afford us!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister," Sorok saw that the time was ripe, and immediately clapped his hands, and someone outside immediately sent in a treasure chest, "Regarding this matter, there is actually no need to worry! In fact, just today, an envoy from the Holy Dragon City came to our capital. He wanted to go directly to His Majesty, but I stopped him. According to the messenger, the Holy Dragon City has no possibility of opposing any forces, and the dragon clan has no intention of harming the human race. They just want to live quietly, but they are hyped and threatened by some people with ulterior motives. The Holy Dragon City longs for peace and does not want war, but if war really happens, they will definitely do their best to defeat any enemy! Of course, they also hope that some rational countries can think about the entire human race, and will not fall for the tactics of some big powers and be used by them at will. Here are some gifts from the city lord of the Holy Dragon City, including a rare space prop in the world, a magic ** easy license signed by the city lord of the Holy Dragon City, and some strange fruits. These are priceless treasures, and the Holy Dragon City hopes to gain the friendship of our subjects!"
