"Hmph, someone presented a forged magical image to the emperor, and then falsely accused the Marshal of secretly planning to build a private army with the intention of rebellion. ☆→, Humph... It's ridiculous. If the Marshal really wants to rebel, there is no need to be such trouble. He just collapsed the entire Black Mountain and buried all the pitiful and ridiculous ants into the underground abyss."

From Rhine's mouth, he could not tell how much respect he had for the empire or the supreme His Majesty. Even the family behind him was in Montenegro. It seemed that Retuss' position in his heart had long surpassed everything.

But Goron immediately noticed something was wrong. Since Retusus has the ability to crush all troubles, how could Rhine's usual domineering and unrestrained behavior care about the troubles that a batch of prohibited heavy equipment might bring, and even escort it personally without hesitation. Thinking of this, Goron immediately asked: "With Marshal... No, since you don't have to care about these absurd and ridiculous frame-ups, why do you want to..."

Rhine's eyebrows were immediately locked together. After a while, he replied: "Yes, the Marshal smiled after hearing this. He didn't care. He just thought it was another boring 'farce'. However, I knew that this 'farce' was a little different... no, very different..."

Although the Dragon Cavalry General Rhine's most prominent identity is one of the commanders of the three battle groups of the Dragon Cavalry under the Imperial Marshal, this identity is so dazzling that it almost covers up his noble origin. What flows in his body is the oldest aristocratic bloodline of the empire, and the sacred and powerful bloodline inheritance of the Thousand-year-old Eagle family, one of the seven major priests of the Holy Beast.

The Millennium Eagle family is different from the Golden Bird family that is closely attached to the imperial family. Although many important members of the Millennium Eagle family have settled in the imperial capital, Montenegro, their true foundation is still the fiefs of the priests in the coastal areas. Although they do not have the power to be self-respecting and dominating the side, the actual influence of the imperial royal family on it must be discounted. Each of the seven major priests has a history of equal length with the empire, and their foundations are definitely hard to underestimate.

"My family has ordered me to leave the Dragoon regiment as soon as possible and return to the family territory through a confidential channel that can only be used once, and the faster the better." Rhine's face was calm when she said these words. It seemed as if it was a small matter that was not important, but Goron smelled a strong dark atmosphere from it, just like the wet, hot and fishy smell before the arrival of the storm tides that must arrive on the Haishiwan Peninsula every year, which made people feel chest tightness and disgusting.

One of the three commanders under Marshal Retuss, this identity is strictly speaking, even if it is the difference between the seven Holy Beast Dukes. Rhine's usual rampant behavior can be seen. This identity can be proud of the entire Millennium Eagle family, and the actual benefits it brings are immeasurable for consolidating the power and status of the family. No matter how you think about it, the Millennium Eagle should not actively cut off the connection between itself and Retuss. However, the order Rhine received was undoubtedly the Millennium Eagle that forced itself and the Imperial Marshal to an irreversible opposition. No matter how you think about it, it was an order that could not be stupid.

However, because this order is too stupid and extraordinary, it reveals a hint of shrewdness and... helplessness. After a little thought, you can know the fact hidden after this order, that is, the Thousand Years Eagle family is no longer optimistic about the future of this Imperial Marshal.

Yes, they still don't like the future of the greatest hero of the empire's history when they know that Leitus has absolute power...

"So what about your decision, Lord Rhein?" Goron asked calmly, although he had already known the answer to this question.

"When you have felt the vastness of the sea, will you still give up your infinite magnificence because of the comfort of a small mud pond?"

Although the ogre Goron, who is simple and direct in language art, doesn't like this roundabout description, he can also feel the mood of Rhine when he says this.

"What about the orders of the Thousand Years Eagle Family? Didn't you tell Yuan... to my father?"

"No, and I don't plan to tell the other two dragon riders."

"Why?" Goron was very confused. However, Rhine obviously had no interest in solving his doubts, so he immediately changed the topic: "I actually have another task to be assigned to you to carry out when I come to Xuezhi Camp this time."

"...what's the mission." Goron was interested in the intrigues of the human race. Since Rhine was unwilling to say it, he would not ask the bottom line.

"I want you and the group of Asian war slaves under your command to carry out a confidential mission. I want you to light a fire..."

"The fire? Are you asking me to burn the Black Forest?"

"No, it's not that boring little flame. I want you to light a flame that should have been ignited long ago. I want you to... attack the annoying army stationed in the Black Forest of the Cool Bears family."

*******

Goron was born and grew up in the stuffy and humid coastal rainforest. Although the ogre's strong physique made him adapt well to various harsh environments, it did not mean that he liked the snowy and ice weather like the Black Forest. Thinking of this mission again, Goron's frown was even more unrestrained.

Even if Geron has been in contact with humans for a short time, he can guess the consequences of doing this...

Although everyone knows that the Empire and the Duchy of Cool Bear will inevitably fight, due to the excessive complexity of the situation, the common enemy of the Empire and the Cool Bear, the conflicts and conflicts between the Holy Light Theory and other human empires, and the sub-national kingdoms that were eyeing the underground and western wilderness, eventually led to the imperial civil war always maintaining the level of small-scale conflict and friction. Both sides retained the lowest restraint and did not conduct formal attacks.

What Rhine asked Goron to do was to ignite this pile of dry firewood splashed with tinder oil, completely entangled the Empire and the Cool Bear into endless wars, and countless creatures were damaged. Goron would undoubtedly bear the heavy historical crime of "war initiator".

Once the war is over, no matter what the final result is, who wins and loses, there will be only a few things waiting for him, and they may be directly silenced or forced out. They are responsible for countless lives who died in the war. However, this is not the case that Geron is really upset about it, or in other words, he still wishes to increase the economic burden of the Ku Bear Principality earlier. Although he is wearing a human skin, he is not a real human, and he does not want to develop for a long time in the human empire. No matter what the situation will develop in the future, what does it have to do with him, an ogre? This is also the reason why Geron will take on this and it seems that Rhine is framed by himself.

What Goron really had a headache was how to find the group of dwarves Rhine pointed to in a vast snow and endless sea of ​​trees. Although everyone knew that Cool Bear had already installed a not-so-large but very elite dwarf corps in the Black Forest to monitor the movements of the Emperor* regiment. Moreover, the dwarves did not like the cold and were good at fighting in the snow, but in addition to the other talent of iron and combat, the dwarves could play well in this environment.

That's right, just digging holes.

Under the thick snow and hard frozen soil, the dwarves were able to dig out a warm and dry underground palace. The specific location of the dwarves fortress buried deep underground was unknown. However, the cave exits that are well-connected and are almost all important locations in the Black Forest are not difficult to find, but even if they are found, it is useless, because these exits can be discarded at any time.

Of course, this is true for ordinary attackers, but Goron's Black Hand Legion has "features" that ordinary legions do not have. Goron's men have a combat team composed entirely of dwarves.

After a full day of carpet search, the scouts of the Black Hand Legion finally discovered an exit for a dwarf cave that was still in use recently. After confirming, a dwarf team wearing the uniform of the Duchy of Cool Bear was sent in. Their mission was to quickly find the warehouse or other important organization inside the dwarf cave, and then ignite the flammable smoke material they carried.

This mission seems extremely difficult, but in fact the chance of successfully completing it is quite high. To put it bluntly, the reason is actually very simple, that is, the dwarves in the Duchy of Cool Bear have almost no experience in fighting with their tribes. The cave they dug is only able to pass through by a few short sub-race races, and the Empire has no other sub-races except the cannon fodder legion, so it is quite safe for these cool bear dwarves to hide in the cave. They may never dream of any dwarves who have infiltrated and destroyed them.

As Goron expected, a thick smoke rushed out of the hole soon after, and then a group of dusty dwarves rushed out. It was the dwarf team sent by Goron to perform the mission. The remaining number was less than one-third of the time they entered the hole. But the remaining dwarves were ecstasy on their faces.

Just a few seconds away from our own dwarf team, the shocked and furious cool bear dwarf warriors began to rush out of the cave. They gasped, coughed wildly, and let out painful whimpers in their mouths, but what was worse was that they were shot down by the elf archer ambushing the entrance of the cave as soon as they rushed out.

"Find all the smoking holes, kill all the dwarves that are emerging, and leave no one!"

The slave corps under Goron had long been scattered nearby, and the black smoke was the most distinctive sign. The good ventilation system of the dwarf cave made the underground flame burn extremely vigorously, not to mention that it contained special poisonous smoke. I am afraid that at least 70% of the dwarfs would be killed by the smoke and died underground, and those who escaped by chance could hardly escape the ambush at the entrance of the cave.

Goron stood on the top of the tallest tree nearby, and the second divine power activated with all his strength to ensure that there would be no fish that escaped. When the last dwarf who had escaped far was also caught up by the Black Lake, this key battle that might have been counted in history ended in a tepid manner.

"The first step of the plan is completed, we can send our 'messenger'." With the order from Goron, several dwarves under Goron ran to the other end of the Black Forest. They were not war slaves, but members of the Black City Guild, and they had only one task, which was to pass on the deliberately processed intelligence to the Duchy of Cool Bear. Cool Bear is the main partner of Black City. Goron does not want to cause evil to the two sides because of this mission. At least, they cannot let Cool Bear know that the attacker's true identity is a group of submen.

This battle was unusually smooth. The war slaves had already begun to celebrate the victory. The corpses of the dwarves could also meet the needs of the banquet, but Geron's heart was unable to calm down for some reason. Just as he was walking alone in the forest, the snow next to him suddenly scattered, and a huge figure suddenly flew out. Before Geron could even react, he was slapped out heavily by a giant palm...
