Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 708 371: Blitz on the Golden Land, Louis' Determination

A few days after meeting with the Jien Clan Leader and the Sword Master, the decision for Lokeshi Empire to dispatch troops to the Secluded Forest Sea was finalized.By the time Louis learned of this, the Lokeshi Empire's legion had already set off ahead of schedule.

Although Louis had speculated, he didn't expect their execution to be so swift.

Organizing a group of soldiers capable of launching an expedition to another country in such a short time is not easy.

The Secluded Forest Sea, as one of the three elven nations, still had its foundation intact even if it had declined.

Not to mention that attacking the Secluded Forest Sea could also trigger the nerves of the still flourishing High Forest and Secret Woods.

But the Lokeshi went ahead and did it anyway.

This requires a strong resolve and ability to execute plans.

From this point alone, the gap between the Tunisians and the Lokeshi is too obvious.

The Lokeshi spent considerable effort on internal communication even when facing the trolls of the Giant Plain.

If it had been Ense or Lokeshi, there would have been no discussion; they'd have unleashed the Fury of Ninos to show the trolls the might of the little empire.

Would Ense even have a chance to mediate in the war between the two countries?

Of course, bragging aside, Louis knew his approach wouldn't work.

A large-scale destructive strike with the premise of genocide is something no race on the Star Continent would do, no matter how arrogant; even the strongest power would leave a way out.

The only ones who would do such a thing would be those antisocial lunatics from the Abyssal Church.

"We've been outmaneuvered."

Louis smiled at Beatrice on the other side of the communication crystal and said, "They must have started taking action much earlier."

On the other side of the communication crystal, Beatrice tucked her hair behind her ear and calmly said:

"No matter how good the allies, they would never fully cover each other's backs. They must have been ready even before you arrived at the Lokeshi Empire.

As for them telling us about the Golden Land's reactivation, it was merely an afterthought after they had decided on the expedition.

Whether you agree or not doesn't affect their grand scheme."

Louis nodded.

He understood the reasoning.

But he was still shocked by their decisiveness.

After all, if this is not executed well, it could easily lead to the three elven nations uniting against the Lokeshi Empire.

But they went ahead and took action.

Even as they moved into action.

Would they consider Louis and his group as external allies?

Having external allies is good, and if they're not available, it doesn't matter either way.

Attack first, ask questions later; that's Lokeshi's way.

"I will go help them. Now, with the situation becoming chaotic, everything's in a state of disarray," Louis calmly said. "Our father-in-law said that the seven great calamities would be completed in our era, with a calm expression, so much so that I forgot what it means when all disasters erupt simultaneously."

Beatrice's mouth slightly opened, finally letting out a long sigh: "You must be careful. The Golden Land might have lost its vigor yet still holds mysteries that have stalled the elves for so long."

"Yes, but when one falls, the other is in jeopardy; we really can't let the fighting continue. Continuous bleeding will make the coming days increasingly difficult for us."

Under current management, the industrial chain has taken shape, and the production speed of both military and civilian supplies has increased several times compared to before.

The most direct example is the divine favor of the Goddess of Commerce, which Louis, who never cared about, has been receiving continuously since it first fell upon him.

However, Louis had no intention of retraining as a priest; the divine favor he could fully utilize was quite limited.

Maintaining the stable operation of the industrial chain before the full-scale war begins is the current broad strategy for Ense.

On this point, the first to cooperate with Ense was Tunisia, who offered full support.

No other country is more eager for a complete industrial and material transportation chain than Tunisia.

Externally, the Tunisians always say that the longer they fight, the more they turn Tunisia into a fortress of war, thus demonstrating Tunisia's perseverance in the face of adversity.

But only they know that behind their steely will are the cries of many compatriots, fallen early due to insufficient resources.

A nation brimming with heroes is also one that's deeply scarred by war.

For the moments when human brilliance shines often are those influenced by turbulent backgrounds.

And such times more easily produce eminent literary figures.

Louis understands this, and so do the Tunisians.

That's why the two countries stand together, slower, even slower, giving them more time to lessen the pains and wipe away more blood and tears shed during this inevitable war.

"When the great building is about to fall, the Lokeshi are an indispensable part of our united front; their power, their technology, their extensive strategic depth, and their contribution to the industrial chain... there are too many reasons we cannot give up."

Louis looked out the window.

At this moment, the Imperial Capital of the Lokeshi Empire was brightly lit, a beautiful scene.

Yet for some reason, he seemed to smell the smoke of impending war spreading through the air.

And hear the lament laden with sobs and wails.

"Louis, Louis... dear."

The voice from the communication crystal drew Louis's attention.

Beatrice looked at him with concern and said, "Dear, what's wrong? Are you tired?"
