"The main force at the forefront is definitely the Knights of the Temple. They are disciplined and powerful. Generally speaking, the private armies of nobles are tasked with destroying the territory of the orcs. The ones who really fight against the main force of the orcs are the strongmen of the Temple. There are a few famous knight orders in the private armies of nobles in the Western Continent that are quite powerful, but the rest are just so-so and not worth mentioning."
Having spent six years in the temple, Xu Luo knew some inside information. He explained the precautions on the battlefield to Wei Tao, which greatly broadened Qin Mo's knowledge.
Wei Tao learned a lot about the nobles of Xizhou from Xu Luo. Some of it was information Xu Luo already knew, and some was gossip he had heard from Kelly. Wei Tao kept it all in mind, regardless of whether it was true or false. He was determined to quietly reap the benefits without being taken advantage of or making enemies.
But things didn't go as planned. As the pre-battle meetings, which had lasted for several days, were about to end, Wei Tao got into a conflict with someone, which was also related to Qin Mo.
"Your Highness William, what did you mean by what you just said? Why did you say that we are 'disciplined Great Xia people who roam freely on the battlefield'?"
"Aren't you Great Xia people like that? I remember a few years ago there was some Saint-level powerhouse who suddenly disappeared during the war, causing us huge losses. Later, it was said that he died in the former territory of the Elven race. We have no plans to invade the former Elven territory, so what was he doing there?"
Prince William, the Grand Master of the Lionheart Knights, was an arrogant middle-aged man who looked at Wei Tao with a mocking smile.
"You bastard! Prince Qin Lan died while he was helping you fight the orcs in Xizhou. Yet you're spouting nonsense here. Are you trying to ruin the alliance between Xizhou and Daxia?" Wei Tao was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and yelled at William, completely disregarding the stares of the people around him.
"You keep saying you'll help our orc race, but what have you done? Your Great Xia army has at least 20,000 men, yet you only brought 2,000. Do you think we're fools?"
"That's right, that's right! If it weren't for us Western Continent people holding back the main force of the orcs, your Great Xia would have been occupied by the orcs long ago. We saved you!"
The surrounding Western Continent nobles began to chatter and clamor, but the Temple Elder, as the leader of the Western Continent Allied Forces, made no attempt to stop them. This sent a chill down Wei Tao's spine. He had traveled thousands of miles to provide reinforcements, only to be treated like this, which left him both resentful and powerless.
“How much aid and money do we, Great Xia, give you every year? And you… are still not satisfied?” Wei Tao came to Xizhou from Great Xia, and on the way, he escorted the aid given to the Holy Temple this year. The enormous wealth was still fresh in Wei Tao’s memory.
"Ahem!" High Priest Worsnell of the Riga Temple coughed a few times to stop the noise in the room, and then apologized to Wei Tao, saying, "I'm sorry, General Wei, they don't know the details of our alliance, so they don't know how deep our friendship with Great Xia is. I hope you can understand."
Worsnell thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Wei Tao, "What happened today was all a misunderstanding. I hope General Wei will not tell His Highness Qin Mo about this, so as to avoid causing a bigger misunderstanding."
"Worsnell, do you think this can be kept secret? Why William hates Saint Qin Lan, others may not know, but you do, right? Despicable and shameless people love to call black white, it's disgusting."
Surrounded by enemies, Wei Tao suddenly heard a voice. Although the voice was cold, its words brought him immense satisfaction and relief. (To chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest," follow "or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books.)
