Chapter 689
After everyone had almost finished eating, Lehart VII put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "I would like to express my most painful condolences on behalf of the Lion Heart Empire that happened in Seta. President Steins and I met more than fifty years ago. They are old friends for many years. Just three months ago, I invited President Leonardo da Vinci to watch a court competition together, but unexpectedly it was the last side. Losing them is not only a huge loss from the Magicians Association, but also a misfortune for the entire human race."
Rob nodded, "I also deeply regret the experience of Prince Williams. He is a sincere friend and a true knight. He fights for his people. The people of this land will surely remember his name forever."
"We both seem to be facing a common enemy now." The old lion king's eyes were bright, "and if the information provided by President Dadalion did not exaggerate, then not only us, but the entire human race is now in an extremely dangerous moment."
"Yes." The future Super Magician said bluntly, "The enemy we are facing is unprecedentedly powerful, and there are more than one. Although we walked side by side a thousand years ago, it was just because at that time it seemed that such a choice was most in their interests. But in the final analysis, they did not want to see a powerful human race appear. The incident in Seta City was not accidental. There was an irreconcilable contradiction between us. This was a war that was related to the survival of the race. According to their previous behavior patterns, comprehensive revenge might come soon."
When Rob finished speaking, the dining table fell into a brief silence.
Although there is no expectation of such a result, it is undeniable that many people still felt lucky until the moment before the answer was revealed. The Dawn Continent has been away from the war for hundreds of years. No one here has experienced the dark history that has condensed countless blood and tears. Suddenly facing a war of survival or destruction, he is inevitably unhappy.
Only Lehart VII's expression remained unchanged on the dining table. The old man obviously knew the answer to this question for a long time. He actually just wanted to use Rob's mouth to tell the others sitting.
After everyone had almost digested it, Lehart VII spoke again, "We still have something to do before this war begins."
When the two princes stood up after hearing this, they looked solemn, "Please give your orders."
Lehart VII nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes finally fell on Rob.
The next sentence of the old lion king made the atmosphere of the entire palace condense.
"I plan to send troops to the Holy Alliance."
"Oh?" Rob raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not so disregarded by the overall situation. I'm not sending troops this time to avenge Williams." The old lion king paused and said seriously, "I'd like to tell the truth, how much is our chance of winning this time?"
"It's so small." Rob's answer made everyone's heart sank. The future Super Magic Master is now recognized as the strongest master in the Dawn Continent. As the person who witnessed the gods taking action twice and fought with the incarnation of the gods and then escaped unconsciously, he is undoubtedly the most qualified person to evaluate the strength of the gods. If even his answer is so pessimistic, it shows the severity of the situation.
Lehart VII said, "If that's the case, we must be able to seize every opportunity. As the side at a disadvantage, we only have a very low tolerance rate. Until the war really begins, no one knows how to fight each battle. But from a strategic perspective, I know what we want to do now that human race must first complete unity and unite. On the free city-state, I have already issued a proposal to their parliament to establish a wartime alliance, but on the holy alliance..."
Lehart VII shook his head, "The people there have been controlled by the church for too long. Although I still believe that as long as I give them enough time, they will see clearly who is the party to justice, unfortunately, we may not have this time, so I have to do it myself."
The Imperial Prime Minister Pushkin opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Lehart VII.
"The situation is not as bad as you think. The national strength of the Holy Alliance is weaker than ours. The church is in turmoil. The Breton family in the north can help us contact the local noble forces. With the assistance of the Magicians Association, as long as we move fast enough, maybe our knights were already standing under the walls of St. Masa before the church reacted, so what I was worried about was never whether we could take down the Holy Alliance."
The old lion king looked at Rob's eyes, "As you said, this is a war for the whole mankind. In this war, you can get my guarantee that as long as there is one person in the Lehart family, they will never retreat. But at the same time, I still bear the responsibility of managing the empire. My people live on this land, and I need to be responsible for their safety. Once the war begins, I will draw the elite troops of the empire to advance eastward and divide them into two directions. This is also the time when the empire's hinterland power is the most empty. I need someone to help me solve it, or at least suppress the abyss cracks in the territory, so as not to cause trouble."
At this point, Lehart VII finally revealed the purpose of this dinner tonight. "I can guarantee that the union will be disbanded after the war is over, and the empire's army will also withdraw from the territory of the Holy Alliance. However, now the special circumstances are treated with special conditions. We need to cut off the palms of those things on earth and complete the unification process of the entire human race."
After saying this, the old man closed his mouth and was quietly waiting for the answer from the other person.
Rob looked at Lolo, who took a few deep breaths, suppressed the tension in his heart, and said, "How many abyss cracks are there in your country now?"
"There are seven places that have been found, and two are suspected, but one of them was ruled out yesterday afternoon, so it's even seven and a half places." Pushkin is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Empire, and there is no need to revise the records when reporting these data.
“What about the size?”
"Because of the different appearance times, the longest diameter is more than one mile, and the shortest one is less than two hundred meters, but most of them are three or four hundred meters."
Lolo calculated in his mind that although the number of cracks in the abyss made his scalp tingling, except for the longest one, the rest were still within controllable range. If it went smoothly, it would be possible to close them within four months. So she nodded to the old man.
