Chapter 341 - Singular Goal 1 (1/2)

Mount Berghorn, was located in the midwestern part of the Baroque Empire.

The rocky mountain was shaped like a horn and was so dangerous that even active hunters never set foot in its vicinity.

The mountain, known only for the stones and monsters, had been silent for some time.

There was a fairly armed group which moved with monsters such as Orcs and knolls which moved in army-like patterns.

The leader of the group was Shaikan, the Orc hero.

Last time, he had gone to his mother’s resting place and reunited with his family, and he was gradually preparing to take steps towards his ambitions.

Meanwhile, he had heard an urgent news from Mitchell, a distance cousin.

“The first battle between the Emperor and noblemen?” Asked Shaikan.

“Yes, the two Gigant troops collided on the south plains of Loured in Nemesis.”

“Finally, the noblemen have decided to counterattack.”

Shaikan and the family of Ebra had heard the news about the emperor’s family along with a few retainers.

Before a full moon, he heard that the Emperor had killed numerous nobles.

Rudolf, who had been mentally devastated by the death of his children and the political proceedings, appeared to the Imperial Parliament only to commit brutality.

The tragedy, along with the Emperor’s proclamation to destroy the nobles had become widely known throughout the Empire, and many were either shocked or in anger.

No matter how bad things happened, a person in the role of an Emperor shouldn’t have done that.

If he was dissatisfied with the noblemen, he should have called out to them or yelled or politicized them.

But to go all the way to the Imperial Parliament and slaughter numerous nobles without any reason?!

In any case, the storm had moved the Baroque Empire completely.

Overthrow the Crazy Emperor!

Get rid of the tyrant and transform the Empire!

Those slogans were the ones that were spread by the noblemen, and they went out in an instant.

As a result, it didn’t just touch the hearts of the other noblemen but also the neutral lords.

“What was the result of the battle of the Loured plains?”

Mitchell replied to the question of Shaikan.

“The noblemen were defeated, but the Central Army took in considerable damage. The lack of power was due to the lack of low ranking commanders and Expert knights.”

“Hmm, was there any force in the noblemen who could damage the Central Army?”

Duke Butler and Marquis Mayers, who were in the Nemesis, had escaped and were on the chase.

And Shaikan wasn’t able to understand that they were the ones to do that, to provide forces to confront the Central Army which was very close to the Emperor, but there was no way those men could have done it.

“The noblemen and the power which had been mobilized this time were said to have been collected by Marquis Cavanill, who died in the hands of the Emperor.”

“That so? I guess they correctly used the power of a dead man. Which means that the power in their homeland is alright…”

“That is true. Considering the afterward situation, the Emperor was the one who lost a lot.”

According to Mitchell’s explanation, the noblemen Lords who were furious with the Emperor’s assault leading the battle with Butler and Mayers joining at some time.

In addition, there were some neutral lords who were showing signs of turning towards the noblemen.

“On the contrary, the Emperor’s power doesn’t seem so good. But the Northern Emperor nobles and the traditional emperor nobles still haven’t recovered from the damage they have faced when the Volga Republic had invaded them.”

In addition, the Central Army fought against the demons and they were currently in a state where they were unable to control their forces.

It was unknown as to how they were able to recover from their losses in such situations.

“There are four other corps besides the Central Army.” Said Shaikan.

“Yes, there are some East-Northern border forces, but the Western forces are the ones belonging to Duke Butler, and the South is entirely dominated by Marquis Mayers.”

“However, the two of the four have great power and are under the noblemen.”

The northern and the eastern forces were there, but the two of them were unable to move because they had to hold back the Volga Republic and the Holy Arthenia in case of an invasion.
