"Yes, we have discussed with five allies, Skief, Tyriel, Batonia, and the Elf Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom.

Because he is at the forefront of Chaos Invasion, Mrs. Skie's combat preparations are carried out faster than we imagined. But we feel that Skieff alone can never stop Chaos heresy. And Skie has too many plain lands, too cold climate, and too long distances, and is not suitable for the final battlefield to fight against Chaos heresy - these are all our marshals, telling me, Your Majesty." McLean said.

"That's true, Your Majesty, in fact, in history, when facing the invasion of Chaos, Madame Sky never successfully defended their territory.

Even for the empire, the elves and dwarves can't help them with all their strength. So I think Skiff's strategy should be to persuade them to voluntarily give up most of their territory and move their main force into the empire. After all, they are more than 100,000 extremely elite and tough professional troops! It is really a waste to let them die meaninglessly in Skiff's wilderness." Marshal Franz said.

"Well, that's true. Then our diplomatic strategy for Skiff is to persuade them to retreat. Is that true?" Emperor Magnus continued to ask.

"It is true, but if they were really so stubborn, despite their reluctance, we had to give up on them. Our precious forces cannot be wasted in useless places." McLean said: "In fact, Mrs. Skie's chance of accepting our proposal is very low, so I suggest that the Empire issue an order to the Duke of Osterland, requiring him to do a good job in border defense and be prepared to accept refugees from Skieve."

"Then let's do it for Skiff." Hearing the two of his most trusted ministers say this, the emperor had to do so even though he was not very willing. They made a decision that could almost be equivalent to "abandon Skiff."

"What about other countries?" the emperor continued.

"Tyriar is too far away, and they have almost never been affected by chaos. There are even many fools who regard the war between us and chaos in the north as a civil war that belongs to humanity. Therefore, they react coldly to our call. Whether it is dispatching troops or raising funds and money, they are unwilling to do it." McLean said: "I think that if we do not take some coercive measures, the other party will not provide us with any help."

"There is no need to touch them for the time being. At least Tyriel also provides us with some high-quality mercenary options," said Magnus.

"Then it is Batonia, a country that is quite interesting, Your Majesty. Although they scoffed at the war between us and Chaos, under the influence of the outdated and ancient chivalrous spirit, they were willing to provide a large number of troops as reinforcements for us to drive. But they were not without any requirement. All the burdens of that army, pay, food and other supplies, need to be paid."

"Although the knights of Batonia are old, backward in tactics, and undisciplined, they are still qualified to use as cannon fodder. Continue to contact them. Military pay and supplies are no big deal. Anyway, they are cannon fodder, and they will soon be consumed by the battlefield. They cannot consume much." Emperor Magnus said: "Then is Marian Castle, what do the merchants and nobles nearby say?"

"Not very good, your majesty." McLean replied: "They refused to provide any service to us. But accordingly, they promised not to help Chaos. In this battle, they would most likely be neutral."

"Neutral? Where is that cheap thing in this world?!" Magnus snorted coldly: "Continue to contact them. Tell them that their location is on the southwest shore of the Claw Sea, and Chaos invasion is the first to be affected. If they are willing to help us, it would be fine. But if they are not willing, then I will not care about their life or death!"

McLeannon said this and said nothing, but he felt in his heart: Marian Castle is one with the surrounding cities and the territory. It is rich and powerful, and it is still above the general imperial electorate. They will not take this trick. And they also have extremely excellent fleets and armies. As long as the Chaos invasion does not focus on taking care of them, they will most likely not be in danger of destroying the country.

As for why they don't support the empire... it's not because you fooled them before. If you had agreed with them that if you support you in the war, you would officially recognize the highest status of Marian Castle. However, after you win, you turned against each other and sent troops to attack Marian Castle. Now they don't trust you, who else blames?

Of course, McLean, as a minister, would not say this. And the arrogant Emperor, who was angry with Marianborg's attitude, calmed down for a while. At this time, he did not have any good sanctions on Marianborg.

"Forget this matter, what about the attitude of the most important elves and dwarves?"

"The messengers we sent to Usuan have not returned yet, and do not know what happened to Usuan. However, I discussed the current situation with the elves diplomats of Usuan's empire and visited Master Tigris. They all assured me that the High Elves would send troops to help us."

"Nothing else is fine. But the patrol and defense of the Claw Sea coast cannot come from the fleet of the elves allies." Magnus sighed secretly: "If there is no coastal defense, we will not be able to deal with the landing operations launched by the opponent from the long coastline in the north."

"I understand this, Your Majesty. But please be patient for the time being. After all, the news about Usuan has not been spread yet. No matter how anxious we are, there is no way." McLean said.

"What about the dwarf side? We need the help of their craftsmen, as well as elite troops and artillery, fortress engineers." Magnus continued.

"The dwarves answered us, and they promised to help us. But I think the power that dwarves can mobilize in this situation is very limited." McLean said: "There is news that the greens in the wilderness are very fierce now, and the dwarves may put their troops into the war with the greens. You know, the hatred between them and the greens is as deep as the sea, and that is a battle that concerns their vital interests."

"Is that right... the news about Usuan has not yet come, and there is another enemy on the dwarf side. Then it seems that we can only rely on our own strength to fight. Another battle between the people of the empire, the successor of the God Emperor, and Chaos - I believe that it will still end with our final victory!"

"No, no, no, it's completely different. The world is completely in chaos. The so-called traditional habits, the so-called previous experiences, or something else that had been used completely. Those who strive for reform and change will continue to survive. The country that holds the inseparable and conservative and self-satisfied will be wiped out in this fierce battle - no matter how powerful this country was before."

On the way to the Blood Dragon Knights Castle, Vared obtained first-hand information. The war readiness of the Sigma Empire, their fanaticism and confidence, Skiff, who was struggling in despair, and other forces such as the elves and dwarves, and the latest news about the Northland Chaos.

Aicharn, his forward has approached the land of the Great Troll. The land of the Great Troll with endless evil mutant creatures is not a trouble for this eternal God-Selected Person, but rather another gift. No, with the help of the Chaos Gods, he will tidy up the monsters here and form another terrifying and huge army.

Of course, before this, he must obtain allegiance or support from all the Chaos believers in the entire Chaos Abandoned Land. He will win over those truly important allies, the Demon Prince, the Chaos Lord, the Chief of the Large Tribe, and the famous Demon Warriors. At the same time, he will fight and even destroy those who are unwilling to obey his orders. There will be many fakes who are jealous of the divine grace obtained by Aichaen, and at the same time, he will delusionally defeat him in order to prove his strength to the evil gods.

"So... well, I mean, there is still a period of storm that swept the whole world, a short buffer period. Before the idiot Aicharen had integrated the entire Chaos power, he would probably not go south. At the same time, the Sigma Empire would not have the ability, nor would it have the courage to take the initiative to attack the north. The situation is in this balance."

"No, in my opinion, there is actually no difference. Both the Sigma Empire and Chaos are too conservative. In fact, I think that Aicharn's attack now is no different from integrating the entire Chaos force and then attacking.

Because the speed of preparation between the two sides is basically the same. While the Chaos Integrates the Power and increases its strength, the Sigma Empire can also obtain support from Usuan, the Dwarf Kingdom and other allies. It is considered to be mutually offset. Spending a long preparation will have no other use except wasting time and making the scale of the war larger and more tragic."

"Who would win? Do you still need to ask? Of course it was me. He took action when both sides were exhausted. Is it still needed to ask such a simple thing?"
