Inside the Kingdom of Nagarythe, all the nobles are ready for the meeting.

Although the elves do not seem to be impatient and prefer to work slowly, as long as their interests are involved, they can gather faster than the electors of the empire.

At this moment, in an underground space that will never be exposed, this group of nobles have already chosen their own leaders.

Dissatisfied, very dissatisfied.

At first, it was just the Phoenix King who gave this land to the Witch King, but fortunately the Witch King did not come directly.

The second thing is to hand over this land to a human to manage. My goodness, this human is obviously going to rebel!

They actually dared to decide the tax rate according to the amount of wealth. Instead of making money from the poor, they actually made money from these nobles.

It's not that easy. Such a meeting was gathered very quickly and the meeting time was very short.

After only half an hour, the meeting had already produced results.

That is rebellion, but the words cannot be so harsh. The external banner has already been thought of. We are just human beings, how dare we enact new unreasonable laws!

The army had already assembled, and when faced with such a matter of mutual interest, all the nobles gave up their private soldiers.

And it is completely handed over to one person to lead, unite the forces as much as possible, and most importantly, speed is of the essence.

"They will reach our port city of Tal Anlek in a week."

The Hoth magician Izeshi had already infiltrated the group of Nagareth nobles. Even for top-secret meetings, she could get first-hand information.

"We still have a week to get ready."

"A week doesn't seem right."

Windlow immediately sensed something was wrong. He had also traveled around the Kingdom of Nagarythe and knew the basic situation there.

The Ulthuan Islands are completely different from the old world of the Empire. The former does not have any obstructive terrain, not even dense forests.

Moreover, after tens of thousands of years of development by the elves, various roads have become very complete.

If the nobles really wanted to rebel, they would definitely not wait for a week. At most, they would have their army at their disposal in two days.

"Yes, human, you are very smart and have a good intuition. You are a talented butler."

On the side, Feselin walked over slowly.

"Kane Assassin has already reported the latest situation. That group of nobles actually dared to send an envoy to the Witch King, saying that they wanted to replace the butler. Don't worry. They actually dared to question the Witch King's appointment. Their envoys were killed by the Witch King."

At the same time, Feslin looked at Izexi again, and the two irreconcilable magicians knew that they were now on the same front.

"Tell me about the affairs of the Phoenix Court. Don't hide them, Magician Hoss."

Izexi originally wanted to keep it secret, but in this situation, he could only tell everyone he knew one by one.

"That's right. That group of nobles have already sent messengers to the Phoenix King's Court to condemn your actions. The Phoenix King's current opinion is to completely ignore it. Are you satisfied?"

Just as the two elven wizards said, the local nobles are not fools.

After learning that Windlow had issued a decree that was unfavorable to them, they immediately sent envoys to the supreme leaders of the two elves.

In addition to speeding up the reorganization of armaments, they are also applying for more advanced political approval. It is easier to talk if you have a reason. Otherwise, sending troops without reason will cause morale turmoil.

Just as Featheryn said, the local elves may have been under the jurisdiction of the Phoenix Court for a long time and were completely unaware of the habits of the Witch King Malekith.

In his eyes, this betrayal and turmoil in Naggaroth would not cause him any dissatisfaction at all. Instead, it was the most appropriate way of survival of the fittest and resolving internal conflicts.

As long as you don't oppose the Witch King, whoever wins the battle will be appointed as lord by the Witch King, and it's not a loss at all.

As for the Phoenix Court, it had already legally returned the Kingdom of Nagarythe to its legal successor, the Witch King Malekith, and now it can just back off.

Besides, there is no benefit in sending troops to rescue these nobles.

Because that group of nobles sent envoys to both sides at the same time, the time for dispatching troops was delayed, and it was estimated that it would take a week for the troops to arrive at the city.

"Ha, a whole week, we can even go back and sleep in today."

Mousse stretched his body with his arms outstretched and shook his head.

"Windlow, you can continue to manage the kingdom. Just make up the distribution method after the victory. I will fight the battles. Just prepare the soldiers' salaries, supplies, and pensions for me."

After saying this, the Lord of Dread also walked out of the hall and stood on the terrace to announce his orders to the dark elf soldiers in the barracks below.

The powerful voice spread throughout the entire barracks, and all the dark elf soldiers began to get excited and started fighting.

It's great that the war is finally starting again.

At this time, Windlo looked back at the female ratman hiding behind. This guy was very afraid of the magical aura of Featherin and Izexi.

"Calculate the supplies and military pay, and contact the quartermaster to arrange for them."

"Yes, yes, I have calculated it, calculated it, yes."

There was no need for a draft or paper and pen. The female rat started doing mental arithmetic as soon as she heard Mousse's request.

He calculated all the supplies needed for this defensive battle, even including the portion of food that he could safely embezzle.

"Okay, you all know what you have to do, right? Let's adjourn."

Following Windlo's order, the elves and ratmen returned to their posts.

The so-called rebellion of the nobles was just a problem that could be solved at a single meeting.

Make good decisions, and your subordinates will be able to complete the other issues one by one.

The only thing you need to do yourself is to slowly walk up to the tallest tower in the city and slowly make a cup of honey water.

After waiting patiently for a week, the private soldiers of the elven nobles had gathered outside the city and were preparing for a siege.

However, due to the land-based tax law promulgated by Windlow, the morale of the nobles' private soldiers was in a very critical state.

Elves are indeed a martial race, but there is a big difference between being a general and being a cannon fodder soldier.

In this kind of battle that has no benefit for the cannon fodder soldiers, they naturally have little desire to fight.

Just as Windlo was preparing to launch a propaganda offensive to persuade the nobles' private soldiers to defect and surrender, Mousse and the dark elf soldiers she led could no longer suppress their desire to fight.

They simply abandoned the advantage of defending the city, opened the city gates completely, and walked out in an orderly manner from three places. The battle formation was already fully ready.
