Chapter 701 - The Fight for Time 1 (2/2)
Even to this day, it was a military powerhouse with tens of millions of people and thousands of Gigants.
Although they couldn’t fight against six nations and win, they could still cause enough damage to the enemy nations if they rushed ahead.
But from where did they hear such false information which made them declare war on the Baroque Empire?
“If they come in, can we stop them?”
It was impossible for their demands to be met.
It was because there was a great possibility that the ancient ruins under the Imperial Palace and its identity would be revealed.
“To be honest, we cannot stop all six nations with our power alone.”
“Then?” Rudolf asked with irritation.
Count Voltas knelt down and said, “Please join hands with the Libiya Kingdom.”
“What? Are you telling me to join hands with that lower man, Reichard?”
“Only then can we stop our enemies. Please bury away your pride for the survival of the Empire!”
The reason why the Libiya Kingdom didn’t declare war along with the six nations could be because of some disagreement.
Recently, they heard that a large monster legion from the Libiya suddenly invaded the Symphonia Kingdom, maybe it was because of that.
‘The reason is unknown, but for our Baroque Empire, the chance given by him would work wonders. It has to be done!’
As Count Voltas was determined, Emperor Rudolf opened his mouth.
“Fine. I will accept your words.”
“Really?”
When Voltas looked ahead, Rudolf tried to not show his anger on his face and said, “Yes, but only for the reason that our nation needs to be protected.”
With the same intention, he wanted to destroy the Libiya Kingdom.
But the most important thing for him was to make the ancient ruins work.
If he could get it to work, he could turn back time and erase all the sufferings he had to face.
And to do that, Rudolf had to buy some time.
The fact that Arsene took over Shaikan’s body and the fact that the Baroque Empire wasn’t the only target of the alliance of the six nations wasn’t known to Rudolf.
