Chapter 16: 16

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The new emperor of the Fergus Empire had already sent the black letter for three days, but there was still no reply from the Duchy of St. Margaret.

Alberta kept pacing back and forth in front of the throne as if he was on a hot pan.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. A messenger in purple arrived at the palace.

“Your Majesty, there’s a letter from the Duchy of St. Margaret!”

Alberta immediately walked down and took the red envelope from the purple-clothed soldier.

He opened the envelope and carefully read the contents. In just a few seconds, Alberta’s expression turned ugly.

Before he got angry, he waved at the messenger and told him to leave.

After he left and there was no one in the palace, Alberta took up a flower vase and threw it on the ground.

However, this did not make him feel better. He then started smashing everything in the room!

The minister, William Geoffrey, heard the sound of smashing from the room and walked out.

“Your Majesty, what’s going on?”

Alberta ignored him and only shouted angrily, “The Queen of the Duchy of St. Margaret, is not willing to send reinforcements over!”

“And she’s even mocking me!”

Hearing this, Geoffrey covered his face and laughed lightly. He came to Alberta’s side and whispered in his ear, “Your Majesty, there’s no need to be anxious. The 300,000 troops under William Bay will arrive in a few days!”

“You don’t have to worry too much!”

“Since the Duchy of St. Margaret isn’t willing to send out troops, we can still think of other ways to let the Undead Army attack West!”

After listening to William Geoffrey’s words, Alberta’s mood improved a lot.

‘That’s right! There’s no need for me to worry about this at all.’

Over the past few years, Alberta had calculated all the traps and schemed to execute a few nobles in the northern part of the Empire who had a good relationship with the old Emperor Nielson.

All the nobles in Gabi, Asuma, and Bader had died as a result.

In fact, Alberta already knew that Hall was tainted with the origin of darkness.

However, this was not the main reason why he slaughtered the land of the Earl of Langford.

Instead, it was because of the two cities, Mehionnes and Mediarudy, that he slaughtered all the people in the Earl of Langford.

They were preparing to take over the two towns in the east that had a lot of lands.

At that time, Alberta gave an order to Hall’s grandson, but it was quickly rejected. This caused his plan to be delayed for a few years.

However, because Hall was the most powerful mage in the Empire, Alberta was still a little afraid, so he had been waiting for this opportunity.

During the few years that he had been waiting for this opportunity, he did not stop the butcher knife in his hand. He had slaughtered all the nobles in Gabi, Asuma, and Bader with all kinds of crimes.

Finally, more than a month ago, he received the news that Hall’s body was no longer working.

At that time, he was so happy that he jumped. The plan that he had been planning for so many years could finally be put into action.

Therefore, in the half a month before Hall returned, he slaughtered all the people in the land of the Earl of Langford.

However, he did not expect Hall to actually leave the defense of Tumala at the end of his life, return to his own territory and discover everything he had done.

Thus, he sent the Grand Magisters Walker and Landel to lead a thousand troops to search for Hall, who did not have much time left.

But in the end, he did not expect Hall to accept the darkness and become an Undead Lord.

Up until now, Alberta had always thought that Hall was just an Undead Lord. He never expected Hall to be a Supreme Lord.

Fortunately, in order to attack Mehionnes and Mediarudy, Alberta had built Bader City perfectly.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to protect Asuma city.

There were a total of six cities in the empire, and Tumala had already fallen. Of the remaining five cities, three were completely under Alberta’s control.

Among them were William Bay and Alex, two of the most fertile coastal cities in the southernmost part of the Seville continent.

These two cities were respectively controlled by the two oldest nobles in Fergus, and these two nobles were all partners of Alberta.

William Bay and Alex had been coveting the entire Empire for a long time, but things did not turn out like this in the end.

After discussing with William Geoffrey, Alberta calmed down. Since the William family had already sent out troops, then Alex’s reinforcements should also be in preparation.

‘These two families already have 300,000 soldiers in the first wave, so the total number of soldiers should be at least a million!’

‘it seems like I have to properly reduce the strength of these two families in this war!’

Otherwise, when the war with the undead ended, Alberta would have to start another civil war. Based on the current situation, it would be very difficult for the dark army to resist the entire north.

If they did not make good use of this opportunity, Alberta would eventually become the second Fergus Nielson!

After the Duchy of St. Margaret received the news that Tumala had fallen, they immediately established a new line of defense at the border with the Fergus Empire.

This was because the northeastern part of Kejins City, which was not far from the border, was a very wide plain. Even Asuma was able to defend against the attacks of the undead army, there would still be undead creatures that would cross this plain and attack Kejins City.

The other line of defense was toward the Southeast. This was because during this time, the Queen of St. Margaret had completely broken off relations with the Fergus Empire.

Therefore, while she was in the local undead army, Queen Mavis was also on guard against the Fergus Empire.

In the banquet hall of the capital city of the Duchy of St. Margaret, all the high and powerful people of the duchy were seated inside. Even the generals and ministers were not qualified to participate in this banquet.

Mavis walked into the room from the side room. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at her with greedy eyes.

These people were not worried that their rudeness would bring about any bad influence.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Queen Mavis walked directly to the front of the long table.

Sitting opposite her was the Archbishop of the Holy Court, Ulysses Aidan. This seemingly ordinary old man controlled the strongest combat power in the entire continent.

He had a total of four Sacred Knights, twelve Royal Knight Commanders, and a hundred Sacred Knights.

There were also countless Holy War Knights and lower-ranking knights below them.

Ordinary people would not know how powerful these knights were, but Mavis knew it clearly.

In terms of power, a single Knight had the combat power of ten ordinary soldiers, a Grand Knights had that of tens, a Knight Commander had that of hundreds, and a Knight of the Holy Light had the combat power of a thousand soldiers.

This was not the end. There were five more levels of knights above even the Knight of the Holy Light.

Anyone could tell how powerful the Holy Court was!
