Chapter 1014: Chapter 519: The Great Famine of Ross Empire and Dolan Guland!

Duke Gugel was overjoyed, "Since there is a prophecy, let’s quickly press our troops towards the County of Frankenstein."

"We must completely solve the shameless Frankish people."

Oyo III said, "Then let’s do that. But wait a while, our guest is about to arrive."

Duke Gugel looked at Oyo III with incomprehension.

They drank for about half an hour when they heard a guard announce the arrival of the emissaries from the United Kingdom, wishing to speak with The Emperor.

Oyo III had anticipated this, "Let them in."

Duke Gugel looked puzzled at Oyo III again. "Brother, how did you know they would come?"

Oyo III laughed heartily. "The United Kingdom, I knew for sure they would come."

Soon, a dozen emissaries from the United Kingdom, cloaked in hooded robes, filed in, crowding the tent.

The emissaries all bowed slightly to Oyo III, except for the one in the center who merely nodded slightly at Oyo III. This person suddenly took off his hood, revealing his true face.

It was none other than Stuart III, the old King of the United Kingdom.

Duke Gugel immediately stood up and bowed to Stuart III.

Oyo III then said, "I didn’t expect that you, the old king, would come yourself. Has the young King of Frank reached the point where even you cannot stay seated?"

"Give the old king a seat."

Stuart III smiled and looked around, "The Kingdom of Frank has become too powerful, more powerful than any single nation. If we allow him to continue growing, he might be able to unify the entire Magic Black Forest."

"How can I not be anxious."

"If the Magic Black Forest Continent is unified, the rights of the United Kingdom on the island would be harmed. We could easily be interfered with by the Magic Black Forest Continent. We will no longer maintain the status we have now."

Oyo III found this amusing. "Your country didn’t seem to think so before."

"Do you need the old king to come to me in disguise?"

Stuart III said, "Previously, we helped the Kingdom of Frank against the Empire because we feared the Empire would unify and then take over the Magic Black Forest Continent. Now, we are afraid that the Kingdom of Frank will unify the Magic Black Forest Continent."

"The United Kingdom has always only considered its own national interests. We attack whoever is strong and ally with whoever is weak."

Stuart III said, "The various countries of the Magic Black Forest have been able to maintain balance, fundamentally unchanged, thanks to our United Kingdom’s continental balance policy."

Oyo III’s expression turned ugly.

From The Emperor’s perspective, the United Kingdom was like a troublemaker. Many times, when the Empire had a chance to unify and centralize, it was disrupted by foreign powers, mainly by the force of the United Kingdom.

Oyo III, unable to restrain himself in the moment, said, "Does the United Kingdom think itself the most important weight on a scale? Wherever you are needed, there you stand? You really have no values... no beliefs... no soul."

Having lived several decades longer than Oyo III, Stuart III was unmoved but continued with his kind appearance and soft tone, "Your Majesty, there’s no need to be angry; aren’t we standing by your side now?"

"Whatever our past grievances, now we shall be allies."

"Besides, now the weights on the scale are not just the United Kingdom. To the far north, the Tevryl Duchy is growing stronger; unifying the Magic Black Forest Continent can’t bypass such a large country."

Oyo III blinked, more accustomed to the traditional struggles for dominance in the Magic Black Forest Continent. "Are there major countries even further east of the Towo Federation? Traditionally, that area was nothing but wasteland, with nothing there. Occasionally there were some nomadic tribes passing through, but they would quickly disappear with the arrival of winter."

"The Tevryl Duchy... is that the one that recently claimed to be the original country of the Ross Empire?"

Stuart III sighed. "Yes, but recently in the Three Northern Undead Kingdoms, we waged a trade war against the country over trading privileges, using two hundred thousand troops and four Law Knight Regiments."

"It was a luxurious scale, completely draining our treasury. We lost."

Oyo III suddenly stood up, his gaze filled with disbelief as he stared at the old King of the United Kingdom. "You lost? How is that possible? Two hundred thousand troops is already a very large force, capable of suppressing all countries except the Empire and the Kingdom of Frank, and not to mention the involvement of four Law Knight Regiments."

"How is that possible!"

"Is there such a powerful country within the Magic Black Forest? Why have I not noticed it before?"

"This..."

Stuart III maintained a kind face and continued softly, "Your Majesty, times are always changing, yet absorbed in the affairs of the Holy Empire as you are, your values seem to remain decades outdated. Is the Church and the Empire all there is to the world?"

"Your Majesty, the Ross Empire had deployed at least over a million troops; even if their troop quality was not as good as our United Kingdom’s, initially we beat them back step by step. However, afterwards, they repeatedly increased their numbers by five hundred thousand, five times over, exploiting their numerical advantage to defeat the King of the Sea."
