the only savior

Chapter 948 Frontline Crisis
This is Zhang Xiaoman's first direct contact with the world's peak power.

What I have to say is that compared to Fox of the eighth level, the two powerhouses of the ninth level give people a completely different feeling.

The energy in their bodies surged countless times compared to the former, and the difference between the two was like a battery and a generator.

The energy in the body of the ninth-level powerhouse seems to be endless, and there is a tendency to become one with nature.

Zhang Xiaoman felt quite strange, the upper limit of energy of these two people was very high, almost catching up with those fifth-order alien species.

It's a pity that their energy belongs to low-level elemental power, not dark spiritual power.

So in terms of actual combat ability, these two people are not necessarily their opponents.

"Sorry, the study of spells came a little late."

"No, your Excellency came on time, please take a seat."

Rommel pointed to the vacant seat beside him.

Zhang Xiaoman was not polite either, he walked straight over and sat down. After he sat down, the meeting this time could be regarded as officially started.

The first is a discussion about this war.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report came back from the front line today. The orc army is gathering on the edge of Kuhan, and there is a tendency to launch a general offensive. Our scouts have detected their priests. This time the attack intensity may be the highest ever. Kuhan's situation is very critical, please hurry to reinforce!"

"Priest group!? How big is it!?"

"At least more than 500 people!"

"Damn it! Can't we send the Griffon Knights to wipe them out first?"

"No, Your Majesty. The opponent is protected by the main force of the wind cavalry, so there is no chance at all, and even if our Griffin Knights face those priests head-on, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning..."

The first question at the beginning of the meeting made everyone fall into a predicament, and from this we can also see what the current situation is like.

Zhang Xiaoman has been staying in his room these days, not paying too much attention to the situation outside, and it was only at this time that he realized the urgency of the battle situation.

"Your Majesty, our envoy has sent back news that the rock demon clan has established an alliance with the orc clan, and I believe they will be able to send troops to the battlefield soon! The rock demon clan is proficient in the magic of escaping from the ground, they move very quickly, and they are good at making surprise attacks from behind. They may reach the battlefield in three days at the latest!"

"Your Majesty! The price of food around Kuhan City has soared to thirteen times the normal level! The price of food behind us has also risen sharply, twice as high as before. If this continues for less than a month, the front line will be completely destroyed. collapsed!"

"Your Majesty! I received news from the Lord Moleban that they have been harassed by a large number of mercenaries recently. Not only have the villages around the city been looted, but even a team has openly robbed the grain truck! What these people did Because it is even more hateful than the beasts of the orc race, I implore Your Majesty to order those murderers to be severely punished!"

"..."

All of a sudden, several ministers of the imperial court who were in charge of various government affairs stood up one after another and reported the problems they encountered one by one.

Romel's face became darker when he heard it, and a violent and angry breath began to exude from his whole body.

This is the first time he has faced a war since he succeeded to the throne, and it is also the first time that the entire Adren kingdom has encountered a war of this scale in the past 30 years.

Romel, who was still full of pride, calmed down from the initial state of passionate fantasy after facing a series of urgent reports, and was brought back to the cruel reality.

The power of the orcs is too great, they almost occupy the entire grassland of the northern continent, even with the strength of the kingdom of Edron, they cannot compete.

Fortunately, although the orcs are coming aggressively, the human side has finally waited for their support.

"Don't worry about the rock demons. We have already allied with the elves. With the elves' control over nature, they are definitely the nemesis of the rock demons!"

Romel glanced at Regina as he spoke, and was relieved when he saw the latter nodded slightly.

"As for the issue of food, I have ordered the treasury to allocate money and food, and give priority to the cities on the front line. Anyone who dares to take this opportunity to hoard food must bear the wrath of the kingdom!"

"Also, I will investigate the mercenary harassment immediately. There are still two Seven Guardians of the mercenary union in the city. I will summon them today and personally ask what is going on!"

"..."

Romel began to deal with the problems reported by the ministers one by one.

However, due to time constraints, it is impossible for him to take care of all aspects, so he can only pick a few imminent ones to deal with.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the mage group of the Magic Guild to face the priests of the orcs."

McAvey stood up and said.

All eyes were on him.

"Teacher, do you want to do it yourself? But the Beastman King..."

"Don't worry, Queen Regina and I are both present, Yohad and Archdruid are also on the way, plus Your Excellency Polar Star, this time our five holy ranks will take action together, Urbis If that guy dares to come, we will definitely let him come and go!"

McAvey said confidently.

When everyone in the audience heard the lineup, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

If the five holy ranks join forces to deal with the Beastmaster, even if the other party is also a strong man of the holy rank, he may not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood began to get excited.

That is a ninth-level powerhouse. It is almost unheard of on this continent that anyone can kill a ninth-level powerhouse. The most recent one was the great knight lord Paladin who fell in the skyfire 300 years ago.

Although the orcs are very powerful, but they have five ninth ranks on their side, and with the assistance of the elves and dwarves, the victory of this war seems to be just around the corner.

Now it is only necessary for the front line to hold on for enough time to resist the attack of the orcs, then when the reinforcements arrive, everyone can launch a counterattack.

The discussion on the battle situation did not last too long, and the main purpose of this meeting was still the meeting between the three holy ranks.

The irrelevant people were quickly invited out, and only the four people in the seats were left in the room.

"Rommel, what I'm going to tell you next may be a bit beyond your expectations, but the situation is different now, and there are some things that I think I need to let you know."

McAvey looked at his students seriously.

Regina glanced at him, and didn't intend to stop him.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't say much, and looked like he was watching the situation quietly.

In fact, from the beginning of the previous meeting to the present, he has not said a word during the whole process, more like a bystander.

His understanding of the situation in this world is still very limited, and wars are even more out of his scope of expertise.

Anyway, if he needs to contribute by himself at that time, as a member of the Bound Breaker, it is not impossible for him to help.

Seeing that neither of the two companions objected, McAvey told Romel something about the Advent Festival.

After hearing these truths, Rommel fell into a daze.

Fortunately, as the emperor of a kingdom, although Romel still lacks experience for the time being, his temperament is beyond most people after all.

"Teacher, what do you mean, your real target this time is not the beast race, but the god in the sky...?"

McAvey nodded and said:

"That's right, the reason why I gathered all the holy steps is also to jointly resist the attack of that god. It's just that because of Urbis, many of our previous plans have been abolished, and now we have to To fight against them, I'm afraid I have to fight desperately..."

"Then... Teacher, tell me this, is there anything I can help you with?"

Romel asked.

McAvey shook his head and said:

"Romel, your father knew about this, but he just had an accident last year... and your current strength is too low, facing the attack of the gods, no matter how many people you have, it may not help you. "

"You are the king of humans. I tell you this. On the one hand, Urbis' betrayal caught us off guard. We need your assistance to help us eliminate the orc threat as soon as possible."

"On the other hand, on the day of Advent, the sky fire will reappear in the world. I don't know how it will appear, but your father has already arranged everything in advance. When the time comes, you just need to follow his plan. Just do it, and leave the rest to us.”

McAvey said a lot, although the words are more tactful, but the core meaning is "you can't help".

In fact, what he said was not wrong. In the face of gods, no matter how many ordinary people there are, it will not help.

Although Romel is the emperor of Edron, his strength is there, and he cannot participate in this level of battle at all.

"Now there are only [-] days left before the God's Advent Festival. We must hurry up and act. We will go there first on the Beast Race Battlefield. I have a plan. As long as our holy ranks gather together, maybe It can lead the fire of the sky to the grassland of the orcs, and it will also help us wipe out the orcs' army in large numbers."

McAvey said.

Regina nodded.

"That's right, but the premise is that we must defeat Urbis first, otherwise he won't let us pass."

"It shouldn't be difficult to defeat him. There are five holy ranks on our side. Erculus and Hilna will arrive soon. At that time, the seven holy ranks of the Breaker will gather. I believe that there is no power in this world." can stop us."

"No, Lecentra, you are too optimistic. Before coming here, Arcatus told me that the orcs may not be fighting alone. They seem to be connected with the black dragons that have disappeared for a long time. If this If the news is true, then the battle may be more difficult than we expected..."

McVeigh was shocked.

"The Black Dragon Clan? Haven't they already fallen into the abyss? Hilna has never heard of them. When did they reappear? When did this news happen?"

Regina said helplessly:

"I also just learned that Arcatus is in charge of the race's intelligence work, and his words should still be highly credible."

"Damn!"

McAvey slapped the table hard, showing a rare expression of irritation.

Zhang Xiaoman groped his chin, it seemed that this time the battle was more difficult than expected.

Just when several people were worried, he looked at Romel who was sitting in the first seat, and said for the first time:

"Your Majesty Miller, there is one thing I may need your help with regarding this Advent of the Gods."

Those few people didn't expect Ji Xing, who had been silent all this time, to say that suddenly, and all cast doubtful eyes on him.

"Your Excellency Pole Star? I'm honored. I don't know what you need me to do?"

Zhang Xiaoman tapped his finger lightly in the air, and a small note full of words flew into the opponent's hand lightly.

"This is……?"

Romel picked up the note and looked at it, a strange look gradually appeared on his face.

"These are some spell-casting materials I need. If His Majesty Miller can help me find them, then I should be able to bring some surprises to the orcs."

"surprise……"

Romel's eyes twitched.

He didn't know if the orc people were surprised or not, but now he felt that he was frightened.

Look at this note, what's on it?
Activate two hundred sticks, two thousand units of standard magic powder for one bollinger, four thousand flame flowers, fifty magic cow hides, three hundred borins for elf traces, dragon blood...

In addition, there are more than 20 other precious materials on the note, each of which is an expensive high-end alchemy material.

With so many supplies, even for him, the king of Edron, it was a huge fortune.

"Your Excellency Jixing...you mean...do you want me to find all these materials for you?"

Romel repeated again with some uncertainty.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded seriously.

"Yes, I have an alchemy that needs these things as an aid. If possible, please ask His Majesty Miller to help collect them, and then hand them over to my assistant Iffy. She will pass them on to me."

He thought about it and added:
"By the way, Your Majesty should prepare as soon as possible. After all, refining medicine also takes time. It is best to prepare it three days before the coming of God's Day, so that I have enough time to prepare."

Romel was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Ready as soon as possible?

You still have three days left?

Let alone whether I can find these things, you really treat these precious materials as Chinese cabbage!
I'm still ready, I'm ready for you big-headed ghost!

Romel cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say such words.

Seeing this, McAvey at the side couldn't help taking the note over to look at it curiously, and the expression on his face was the same as that of His Majesty the Emperor at the beginning.

"Pole Star... the things you want... I'm afraid it's a bit hard to find..."
