Chapter 1083: Same situation
I looked at the pieces of paper that were placed in front of me and found that these were reports.
Only they weren’t just any kind of reports, they were reports about certain places.
They were reports that came from different countries that were all around us.
There was one thing in common about the countries that were mentioned in this report.
All of these countries were the ones that had received some kind of interference from one of the four empires. They were the countries where the four empires stepped in to help with the monster outbreaks.
As for why there were these reports…
It was because all of them were in the same situation as we were.
All of them were attacked by an undead horde.
This undead horde appeared out of nowhere and started attacking their borders.
At the same time, there were high grade undead that suddenly showed themselves during the attack like the golems and Death Knight that we encountered. There were even some reports that there were liches hiding among these undead hordes as well.
Even now, the reports stated that these countries were still being sieged by these undead hordes and it didn’t seem like they would be able to break out that easily.
After all, they had been suppressed by the monster waves in the first place.
If they had been suppressed by the monster waves, that meant that their armies weren’t strong enough to fight back the monsters to begin with. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have turned to the empires for help.
So it wasn’t strange that they were losing to the undead hordes.
At this rate, the reports made it seem like these countries would be broken into by these undead hordes that were attacking them.
I turned to look at the prime minister before asking, “Why are you showing me this?”
I wasn’t questioning that this was an important matter since it was clear that all of this was connected, but for the prime minister to show me these reports all of a sudden like this clearly meant that there was something else that he was trying to show me.
The prime minister just calmly said, “It’ll be a while before they can send support to these countries. At the same time, it seems that the empires will be occupied by these countries for a while, so they won’t be able to do anything to us during this time.”
I slowly narrowed my eyes to look at the prime minister as a look of understanding gradually appeared in my eyes.
I understood why he was telling me this.
It was because of the report that Klein had sent back.
Since it was a report on what had happened in the fight with the undead horde, Klein had naturally added in information on some things that happened after the fight.
After all, it wasn’t as if he could just say that all of the undead suddenly went missing.
He had to truthfully report where the undead went.
So that meant that the prime minister knew about what I did with the Orb of the Dead.
It meant that he knew about the undead army that we currently had.
The prime minister wasn’t a fool and could tell what kind of trouble this would get us in with the Holy Empire. But at the same time, he also could see the potential that was in the undead army.
That meant that the reason he showed me these reports was to…
Since I knew what his intentions were, it was easy for me to think of a response.
But I was still silent for a bit before speaking.
Instead of answering the question that he was posing me with these reports, I asked him instead, “How long before they finish taking care of the undead.”
The prime minister wasn’t surprised at all to hear this and just calmly said, “With the abilities of the empires, it shouldn’t take long.” Then after a pause, he said, “Though it will take some time for them to come as far as our kingdom since they still have other things to deal with.”
I gave a nod before asking my next question, “Do you think that we can do anything with the nearby kingdoms?”
The prime minister slightly knitted his brows after hearing this before slowly shaking his head.
It could be seen by the look in his eyes that he had already considered this before, but he also knew that it would be difficult to actually do something like this. That was why he hadn’t even thought about this and threw it to the back of his mind.
But after hearing what I said, there was a part of him that wanted to see if he could think of a way to achieve this.
But in the end, he just wasn’t able to think of a single way to make this happen.
“By the time that we do this, the empires will have arrived. At the same time, there are still things that need to be arranged in our own territory, so we don’t have the time to do this.” As he finished, the prime minister couldn’t help letting out a sigh. It was as if he was regretting the missed opportunity that was here.
It was just that there was nothing that we could do in this situation.
With this, I had all the information that I needed to come to a decision.
“I should be able to figure something out during this time.”
The prime minister gave a slow nod before saying, “Then I’ll leave this matter to you.”
But after a pause, he felt like adding in a serious tone, “If you feel that you can’t achieve this matter, don’t force it. It isn’t worth it to dig ourselves in a hole just for the sake of a few
undead.”
I was surprised by how decisive he was, but I gave a simple nod in response since I knew that he was right.
