overlord holy black dragon king

What if you choose to go to war?

Jirkniff thought so.

But only those who have entered that demon lair can deeply understand the meaning of "powerlessness".

That is by no means something that humans can overcome.

At least, the empire has no power to fight back in front of the opponent.

For this reason, he had to make three preparations——

One is to actively prepare for battle.

Although the undead said that if the war is decided, it will attack from the front of the Kaz Plain (Plain of the Undead), but who would really believe an undead?

Jilknever dispatched all troops to strengthen the defense of the empire's borders.

The second is to agree to the other party's conditions.

This is a decision that will be considered at the very end.

As for the turmoil within the empire afterwards?Better than the fall of the empire.

And he is also planning to step down as the emperor of the empire after that, so as to apologize and quell public anger.

The third is to seek the unity of neighboring countries.

On the first day after he came back, he immediately dispatched several teams and secretly sent them to neighboring countries in the form of personal letters to seek rescue.

Western countries that are too far away, there is no time to talk in seven days, so they are not in his consideration.

pity.

The Holy Kingdom is in a state of no owner, and the former Chief of Staff temporarily regents, but he refuses on the pretext that he has no spare power.

The kingdom also refused, but it was heard that the dark hero Feifei might accept this request for help in his own name, but what role can a steel-level adventurer play?
Jilknever gave up hope.

The Silian Theocracy has an ambiguous attitude, only giving suggestions, not talking about sending troops.

To put it bluntly, I want the empire to be the vanguard to test the strength of this undead.

Jilknever was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Dragon Kingdom.
The envoys were stopped without even entering the door.

The dragon queen had no intention of meeting them, and didn't even listen to the content of the plea for help, and just let them "scroll" back to the empire.

As for other small countries, it is the same whether they come or not.

Without the support of these great powers, the empire would be in a state of isolation and helplessness.

To be honest, Emperor Jilknif was already thinking about how to persuade the nobles to surrender honestly.

One of the four knights, Nippur, a man called "Storm", saw the emperor's sudden anger, and hurried up to appease him:
"Your Majesty, please calm down first."

"Calm down? The other party will call in two days. There is no guarantee that the other party will keep his promise and send troops on time at noon two days later. Maybe those terrifying guys have already surrounded the empire!"

"I am really thankful for being able to survive until now!"

"."

Nipper felt that he couldn't get in the conversation, but Rena, who was on the side, said mercilessly:
"Hey, Your Majesty, I can run away now, you promised me before."

"Hey, it's shameful for one of the Four Horsemen to say such a thing!"

"Thunder Light" Bajud joked half-jokingly.

He didn't want to blame the other party either, but facing that kind of guy, running away was the best choice.

Even the former four knights, there are only three left.

Another person was killed without any power to fight back when the two dark elves descended.

"Escape if you want!"

Jilknever didn't care about the other party's remarks at all. On the contrary, after hearing this, he calmed down and said unhurriedly:
"Of course, after escaping, it may be more difficult to survive in the empire. You'd better decide which country you want to escape to."

"However, after escaping to another country, knowing that you escaped, it is not clear whether anyone will reuse you."

Remarks instantly extinguished Lenas's "hope".

She gritted her teeth angrily:
"Tsk! I know!"

A knight who bears the name of fleeing cannot be mixed in any country.

Unless you are willing to live in seclusion in the mountains.

Lenas doesn't have this kind of "bravery", she still enjoys the pleasure brought by power and money.

Since he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

At worst, if you really go to the battlefield, just find a way to protect yourself.

In contrast, Bajud was very loyal and calm about death, and asked the emperor with a smile:
"Then, are you planning to fight, Your Majesty? To be honest, there is no possibility of victory with the strength of the empire. I think the possibility of persuading the nobles to surrender is higher."

"Tsk, I know this kind of thing too, but"

The undead man's attitude obviously wanted to "kill the chicken for the monkey to see"!
The empire is the "chicken", and the surrounding countries are the "monkeys".

Even if he agrees to surrender, the other party will find every reason to kill a group of rebels, show off their strength and spread fear!
In any case, war will definitely happen, the key is how to minimize the loss of the empire.

"Let those nobles send troops!"

After thinking for a while, Jilknever said:
"Surrender is inevitable. Now that Fluttershy has rebelled, you are the only ones I can trust. In order to ensure a certain right to speak after the surrender, we must not lose too much combat power."

"Aren't those nobles clamoring to give each other a good look? Then let them do it!"

As long as three of the four knights are still alive and have some troops, even if the outrage is caused by the cession of land and compensation, it can quickly calm down.

There are too few people who can use it!
As for those adventurers, he didn't think about it at all.

Adventurers are neutral in any country, and will not participate in wars between countries, nor will they be the target of wars.

This is an accepted fact.

but
It is also possible to hire some adventurers as combat forces.

I just don't know how many people are willing to accept this commission.

"Continue to maintain contact with the Theocracy. If there is anyone who can help us at this point in time, it is only the Theocracy."

Jilknever told Nippur:

"Let some of the envoys stay in the Holy Kingdom. Let them continue to negotiate with the Holy Kingdom and fight for it. If necessary, they can pay some price."

The Theocracy is very close to the Katz Plain, and it is still a country established by the six great gods. There must be some countermeasures.

Jilknever couldn't see any hope, so he could only pin on this illusory "friendship".

Nippur hurriedly saluted:
"I see, Your Majesty."
