Chapter 490 - Bardi and the Undead (2/2)

“And so, Orloss took all the blame, and paid the price with his life Thus, the Order Gods can simply pretend that they didn’t see Bardi’s betrayal They’ll also pretend to see nothing about hell’s establishh this was all so idiotic, the famous scorpion Orloss had already mentally prepared himself to be cursed at for the next several centuries all for the sake of this fragile alliance”

Of course, if we had lost the battle of hell’s establishment, the Bardi Empire would have been instantly eliminated without any Gods to back them up The Southern Sect would have likely been eradicated as well But when news from hell finally reached the mortal plane, the result was that the hell Gods had achieved the final victory In that case, the Order Gods would no longer have any reckoning with their new “ally”

“Everyone will of course be so angry and want to kill that person when a new party appears to split the treasure with everyone But when the new party is strong enough to resist against the old members, everyone will smile and welco”

This was simply politics It was dirty and unjust Benefits were all that lory to it whatsoever The most pitiful part was that I and Orloss had successfully obtained people’s hearts with our sche developed exactly as expected

Now, E that every citizen of Bardi knew about However, this actually helped everyone to see just how outstanding his successor, Halent, was After all, Emperor Halent had hurriedly ascended the throne after “the foolish Emperor Orloss died because of his own ridiculously foolish actions which created sopolitical maneuvers and swift actions helped to “clean up the mess that the previous emperor made”

Halent ain (from the citizens’ viewpoint Naturally, this was because of Halent hined a new contract with the dragons, so now the Bardi dragon knights’ squadrons were inal size And Halent even acted as the mediator between the Southern Sect and the Holy Church, so that the two parties agreed to a temporary ceasefire Halent even obtained the holy “San” title fro that he was a wise and outstanding ruler

Unlike Orloss’s tactics of constantly expanding Bardi through warfare, Halent soon reached a peace agreee Country after he took the throne As for internally, Halent voluntarily released all the does and improved relationshi+ps with many domain lords, which secured his own position as well

This was all only the beginning After taking the throne, he also allied with the wood spirits and the Mage Country, forcibly stopping the undead invasion at a few main locations The threat of the Undead Calamity was unable to come to fruition, despite the fact that Bardi now faced two Undead Eht Archduke Halent Milan… well, I supposed that he should be called the Dragon Knight Emperor now Halent was noed as one of the pillars of huhtest stars of the Holy War, the prince on a white horse that countless young women dreamed about But if I had to assess hiood father”

This type of strategy where the previous ees so that his son the new emperor would have an easier tiy The political tools that Orloss had left behind for Halent would be enough for the rest of Halent’s life

“Hoould Halent possibly have defended Nightrain City from the undead without Orloss’s neeapons and are Country, and wood spirits, or Orloss’s Southern Sect? Everyone only sees how aot how the previous ruler worked so hard through the long nights to accu foundation, hoould Halent have possibly achieved anything?”

Old Orloss had long since known that his greatest enemy was the undead Countless research projects within Bardi were all focused on anti-undead weaponry In fact, that was also thethe Southern Sect And now that the Bardi E the Undead Calamity for the sake of all humanity, his previous preparations had become tremendously useful

“It can’t be denied that over these years, the Bardi Empire has indeed successfully blocked the Undead Calahtrain City as the rinder between the dead and the living But if you look at overall losses, the undead have lost far ”

Did you think that the Death Council was stirring up so much of a ruckus? If the undead had been successful in their main battles, ould they need to start a new battle elsewhere and atte another Dimensional Door to the Undead Planes in another country? Obviously, siht would have been far more efficient, had it been possible

With all of this as background information, the dark cultists under Undead Lords’ control were constantly active, trying to find new locations for a possible Dih there was still constant news about the undead armies’ actions, this actually meant that the Undead E able to break through at the htrain City They had been forced to try and find another point to breakthrough elsewhere

It wouldn’t be that easy to establish a new Di an Undead Calamity The Dimensional Doors in Bardi had been activated only after several centuries of sche his very soul It was quite difficult for the dark cultists “who had joined the undead recently” to get anything done within Bardi Although they were able to suh soul sacrifices, the troops were merely on the level of an Undead Lord’s personal squadron Although the undead caused soe, they were soon eradicated by the huoal – the objective of breaking through Bardi from elsewhere

Indeed, some countries were ambushed by Undead Calamities Everyone knew that Undead Calaet roadays, all thecountries had mobile units that were specialized in anti-undead co the undead Even in some of the smaller countries, if some undead suddenly appeared and destroyed a small city, the human armies would always arrive in a ti done

And right noas in the Sala Dukedom, which was a country that was separated from the Bardi Empire by another country The direct distance from here to Bardi was more than ten thousand kilometers Even if the Undead Calamity arrived, it wouldn’t affect much… Well, the Sala Dukedom would likely be destroyed, but it wouldn’t affect the human world all that much

This time, I would have been too lazy to care if it was only so up trouble However…

“…Since this is now involving an Undead Emperor, this will be no small matter I refuse to believe that an Undead Es ThereI don’t know, such as soh it’s possible that the undead want to start a second battle site here, this place is still too close to Bardi When the undead come, if it’s not just a squadron, but a real Undead Calaic importance”

“It’s quite possible The Ele the dieneration’s inventions are really ridiculous It’s iht happen If the spatial dih, it ht even be possible for an Undead Emperor to directly descend with such a small amount of soul sacrifices”

“And if an Undead Emperor really descends here, this place will become a second front of battle If the undead can start a pincer attack, that will be really fun for all of us”

Sincewith my assessment, I became all the more determined

“It would seem that we need another expert… If I recall correctly, Tiht? Yep The Father of Iron, Divine Hand, Miracle Creator Ti rown to be deserving of those nicknames of his”
