Su Yue then instructed Europa, the territory's general, to mobilize troops, and also instructed Gregory Samsa to oversee the mobilization of troops.
Gregory had deep-set eyes and was a gaunt, gloomy man.
Wearing armor at this moment: "Yes, Master."
Su Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lord Idya has blessed you. I hope you can grow stronger. You know, most of your deaths in 'Metamorphosis' were because you weren't strong enough. If you, as a Zerg lord, have the opportunity to go back in the future, wouldn't you be able to change your fate?"
"Well……"
Gregory's distinctive facial feature was "numbness," as if he had been eroded by a hopeless society, even after his entire family had betrayed him. Yet, he harbored no resentment or bitterness towards them; instead, he loved his family and sister.
He hoped to send his sister to study at the Imperial Conservatory of Music.
Even when her sister was humiliated by the three tenants, she struggled to use the last bit of her beetle strength to crawl to the tenants' room and stood up to applaud her sister.
However, because of her alienation, her younger sister mistakenly believed that she was harming her.
He scared away three tenants, cutting off the family's source of income. This is a classic case of good intentions gone wrong; even though his family harbored great ill will towards him, he remained kind to others.
This is the classic line, "The world has wounded me, and I will repay it with song." An absolutely tragic figure.
Su Yue said, "Things will get better. Let's deal with these dwarves first."
"OK."
Gregory felt a surge of emotion, but didn't know how to express it; his numb expression appeared somewhat mechanical.
"Lord's Log: Gregory's morale and favorability have improved because of your words."
Loyalty is not the same as goodwill. Su Yue's idea was to indirectly improve Idya's favorability by winning over Gregory, and he hadn't forgotten Idya's blessing to Gregory, this noble man.
Gregory was clearly moved by Su Yue's words, though the two hadn't actually discussed anything too profound. He simply felt that the lord before him understood him, understood his feelings of isolation and his inner world. For someone suffering from an illness, to be able to understand their pain was equivalent to finding a kindred spirit.
Six large catapults, along with two field catapults from the human empire, slowly moved under the protection of grenadiers and knights. These eight behemoths, when used properly, could influence the outcome of a war, but now they belonged to Su Yue. Combined with ballistics techniques, the power they could unleash was truly terrifying.
The call to arms was sounded across Su Yue's territory.
Bugles sounded from all over the country.
A newly arrived vagrant stared in horror at the scene.
A fifth-tier griffin flew past the watchtower.
The force consisted of 650 Tier 1 cavemen, big-eared monsters, and thieves, along with nearly 550 Tier 1 Imperial peasant mobs, many of whom had advanced in previous battles. There were also Tier 2 blind warriors, wolf fighters, gnolls, 323 Tier 2 peasant archers, 150 Tier 2 spearmen, and over 200 dwarf troops.
And 102 Tier 3 Imperial cavalry.
Tier 3 elite rebel Iron Spear Legion, Tier 3 dwarven long-bearded hammer bearers, Tier 4 Imperial Knights and Tier 4 dwarven thunder shield warriors, and more than 20 Cthulhu-based Innsmouths acting as scouts.
This formed a combined military force of over 2,000 troops from the Su-Yue alliance.
These large-scale troops were all surrendered soldiers from the imperial rebels, but their morale was not too low.
This demonstrated the potential and strength of the Canaanite territory.
After being provided with farmhouses and able to live in peace and contentment, and influenced by the angelic, papal, devilish, and Cthulhu cults, Su Yue also observed the emergence of many converts to the devilish and holy papal cults.
Their ranks have all increased by about one rank.
"That's interesting..."
Ragnar from Innsmouth came along, leading the reins of his five-legged white horse, Sleipnir.
Su Yue mounted his horse and asked, "Is there any other intelligence?"
Ragnar said, "One of our fifth-tier griffins was sent out to monitor the dwarven forces from the sky and discovered that the dwarven forces had also moved."
"What?"
Su Yue listened to Ragnar's report in astonishment; it was as if misfortune never comes singly.
The rope is broken only at the thinnest part.
He thought to himself, "These enemies are really wicked."
Especially since friction had begun to arise between him and the dwarven empire of the northern fortresses, Su Yue had never underestimated the European dwarven player lords, the rivals of the Dragon Kingdom. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to mobilize Dragon Kingdom players to fight against them.
At this time.
Walter Lawrence, the Imperial Knight Instructor, rushed over and said, "Sir, the Dwarven Northern Fortress has issued us a declaration of war and an ultimatum..."
"What ultimatum?"
Su Yue laughed in anger. The Holy See had caused trouble, and now the dwarves were causing trouble again?
He is not afraid of being attacked by either side.
But if the dwarves join this army of plague ratmen...
They joined forces to attack their own territory.
It could indeed cause a crisis...
Moreover, this was no ordinary crisis or trouble, and Su Yue felt somewhat agitated at this moment.
Do we really have to force him to use his trump card?
With a territory of nearly ten thousand people, Su Yue's mobilized resources were formidable. His hatred for the Papacy was now rising ever higher, Walter Lawrence said.
"The dwarves demand that we abandon all buildings in Canaan within three hours, or they will attack us. They have already begun to assemble their troops..."
"This is troublesome."
Ragnar said this in the language of the evil god.
He can understand the Imperial Common Language, but he can't speak it.
Su Yue said, "The dwarves are also coming down the mountain, and the ratmen are on their way to attack. How much time do we have left to prepare for a counterattack?"
"No more than an hour and a half."
"Time is a bit tight," Su Yue murmured.
General Europa, her silver armor gleaming, seemed hesitant to face Su Yue directly... Her face appeared even more beautiful than yesterday... adding a touch of elegance.
"Europa, come here."
"……yes."
Looking at her chestnut hair, Su Yue inexplicably recalled the events of last night and said, "I don't blame you. No matter what you do in the future, I believe in your loyalty to me and I will forgive you."
"With the great battle imminent, I have no time for any personal feelings. Win this victory for me."
Europa looked at Su Yue with her watery eyes and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"
Su Yue gently stroked her pretty face and chin. The girl in front of him had an exquisite appearance, but now she had a more mature air about her... which made Su Yue slightly lost in thought.
"yesterday."
Europa looked dazed.
"never mind."
Su Yue said, "Go and reorganize the human forces, and do it quickly."
"kindness."
Lord's Log: "The Inskaven ratmen army has launched an attack on you. The dwarves have sensed the opportunity and have also gathered troops from the northern fortress to attack you! Griffins have detected from the air that the dwarven Legions (countless): 1000+ troops are gathering to attack your Canaanite territory."
Su Yue said calmly, "Very good, another batch of people have arrived, bringing money and equipment."
The white horse lord, filled with joy and delight, mounted Sleipnir!
The radiant light of the divine weapon "Arachnid" in his hand made the white horse lord appear like an incomparably dazzling jewel to the large number of troops and newly joined farmers, capable of protecting the safety of their territory.
The newly arrived group of refugees no longer wished to be homeless.
Their territory was destroyed, and the empire's plundering and killing caused the deaths of many of their relatives.
Some mistresses also went missing.
Children also died in the war.
One hundred imperial cavalrymen, following behind the White Horse Lord, moved in a semi-circle towards the city walls of the Canaanite territory.
How should he respond?
Inside the house, Schwarz von Richter was quietly celebrating Mass.
The room was filled with the sounds of gospel and hymns. José Fernández de la Ville de Irina gazed at the white horse lord leaving the territory in the distance… “My lord, is this our plan?”
"Dwarves are none of our business."
José Fernández: "Hopefully, the Ratmen's attack will teach them a lesson. We only intended to spread the plague within our territory, then use the opportunity to do good and expand the Papacy's control. But with angels around, they have no fear of the plague..."
"This puts the expansion of divine authority in a difficult situation, leaving them with no choice but to resort to this less desirable option."
"And this cannot be blamed on our Holy Age Brotherhood."
"If anyone is to blame, it's Lord Su Yue of the White Horse for his disobedience and lack of cooperation with the Holy See. If he had been willing to accept baptism from the Holy See and convert to the Holy See, none of this trouble and crisis would have occurred."
