After crossing several cities, the hot air balloon team finally landed in an open valley in the south. Now, the alchemy warlocks had to make some plans for their future. They couldn't go back to the north, as that was the private land of the city of Fanse. Most of the masters of the cities relied on the city of Fanse to survive.
"Teacher, where are we going?" Marina pulled Gina, who had blue hair, behind Akkad. Gina kept looking at the hot air balloon. She still didn't understand how this thing could fly.
Akkad thought about it for a while, then looked at everyone. These people had followed Akkad, which meant that they trusted him unconditionally.
"I'm afraid that this place won't be peaceful for a long time. King Tuten's ambition has been exposed, so we have to go to a city further south!"
"Let's go to the city of Tenumerous!"
Akkad led his students and the higher-ups of the Akkad Alchemy Workshop to the south of the Tuten Dynasty. They were accepted by the city of Tenumerous, which was one of the southern trading cities.
This was also a city near the sea, and it was the first city that Akkad had arrived at in the Tuten Dynasty. It was also Marina's hometown. Akkad had rebuilt his own alchemy workshop and academy there.
This made Marina, who hadn't been back for a long time, very happy. The alchemy warlocks had once again settled down in this coastal city.
In the north of the Tuten Dynasty, the city of Fanse and the current Tuten Marcellus had gradually weakened the power and control of the cities in the north through a series of administrative measures and decrees. Through force and other means, they had gradually unified the entire northern part of the Tuten Dynasty.
A large number of workshops were heavily taxed, and all the graduates of the alchemy school had to be registered. A large number of alchemy school graduates who had mastered alchemy knowledge, as well as the official alchemy warlocks who had awakened their mind powers, were also arrested and forced to work for King Tuten. A large amount of wealth was accumulated. Over the years, the rise of alchemy had brought great changes to the Tuten Dynasty.
Now, no matter where one went, one couldn't do without the influence of alchemy warlocks. Even if King Tuten wanted to control the north and start a war, he still had to rely on the alchemy school graduates and alchemy warlocks who had mastered alchemy knowledge.
Many of the workshops produced weapons and armor for King Tuten. These workshops provided him with wealth, allowing him to wage wars and unify the north.
Many of the city-states in the south were deeply afraid of Tuten's series of actions and decrees, especially since many of the city masters in the north had either been killed or placed under house arrest. This made the city-states in the south even more frightened. They were afraid that they would be the next unlucky person to be sent to the gallows.
The southern city-states held a meeting called the Independence Conference in Lamech, which was located on the Pegasus River. After that, the thirty-two southern city-states announced that they were leaving the Tuten Dynasty. They named themselves the Sean City-State Alliance, after a tree native to the south.
The birth of the Sheehan City-State Alliance announced the break between the south and the north of the Tuten Dynasty. King Tuten was furious, so he declared a war against the Sheehan City-State Alliance.
One side was fighting for the sake of rebellion, while the other side was fighting for freedom. Both sides started an internal war. The flames of war quickly spread to the Pegasus River, where the two sides started a tug-of-war.
At the beginning of the war, King Tuten, Barbus, had the absolute upper hand. He once broke into the heart of the city-state alliance and surrounded the hundreds of thousands of troops of the city-state alliance in a city called Finnlit. The siege lasted for several months, almost forcing the city-state alliance into a desperate situation.
Then, they were defeated by the reinforcements from the coastal city-states. The war lasted for three years, and both sides were exhausted. The losses were so heavy that neither side could accept it.
As the war had lasted for too long, it once again led to internal instability in the north. Rebellions occurred frequently, and many cities and nobles who were dissatisfied with King Tuten's actions brought great trouble to King Tuten.
In the end, King Tuten could only sign a peace treaty with the Sheehan City-State Alliance in Lamech, where the Independence Conference had been held.
As for King Tuten, he regarded the defeat of the war as a great humiliation. He also regarded the independence of the Sheehan City-State Alliance as a mortal enemy that was trying to divide his country.
A few years after the peace treaty was signed, King Tuten solved his internal problems. He gathered his power and started a second war against the Sheehan City-State Alliance.
At this time, the Batko area in the northwest of the Tuten Dynasty had gradually been unified after countless wars. A country called the Kingdom of Pusuote had gradually unified the entire Batko area in the midst of many wars.
The Temple of the Sky was built in every city in Batko with the victories of the Kingdom of Pusuote. The beliefs of the Temple of the Sky gradually replaced the original chaotic and complicated religious beliefs in Batko, becoming the orthodoxy of the Batko area.
A large number of priests of the Temple of the Sky were walking on the land of Batko, holding the Book of the Living in their hands. They were preaching the mysteries of the Temple of the Sky. As the Temple of the Sky continued to expand, the underworld gradually became more and more substantial.
The entire Underworld was projected onto the ground. From its original illusory state, it gradually turned into a half-illusory, half-real state. A large number of Death Emissaries would surge out of the Underworld at any time, guiding the souls that were unwilling to disperse into the Underworld. The Underworld also gradually gained a trace of the Underworld's true form.
In the Kingdom of Pusuote, the City of Baber
The City of Baber was originally the capital of the Batko Empire. It was built by the first emperor of the Batko Empire, Yep Ima Batko. However, many years ago, the Tuten Dynasty had invaded the city of Fanse, and the entire city had been looted. The last emperor of the Batko Empire had been killed, and the entire Batko Empire had fallen.
Now, Cetisius was living here. Cetisius was wearing a black robe, and his face was no longer that of a young man, but that of a middle-aged man.
In the palace, many people were dealing with government affairs. After Cetisius had established the Kingdom of Pusuote, he had gradually unified the entire Batko area and become the true master of this land.
As a report was sent to Cetisius from afar, he read it for a long time. After that, he stood up and gathered all of his generals for a meeting.
When King Tuten Marbus and the City Alliance of Sean started the second war, the invasion of the Kingdom of Pusuote shocked the entire Tuten Dynasty.
Two hundred thousand cavalrymen from the Pusuote area invaded the Tuten Dynasty from the northwest. They quickly moved down from the border, and the empty northern part of the Tuten Dynasty was quickly occupied by the Tuten Dynasty. Their army surrounded Tut City, and after a few days, Tut City announced its surrender.
The barren Kingdom of Pusuote had gained a large area of fertile land and a lot of wealth. The powerful city-state of Fanse had become history, and the Kingdom of Pusuote, which originated from Batko, had ended it.
At that moment, King Tuten Marbus, who was leading a large army, became a king who had lost his kingdom. At the Pegasus River, his head was cut off by his soldiers. His original army, which had lost its home, had surrendered to the City Alliance of Sean in the south.
The True God Sect, which had been popular in the north, quickly suffered a heavy blow. The priests of the Heavenly Temple searched for and expelled the believers and apostles of the True God Sect. After the apostles of the True God Sect died, even their souls could not escape. They were sent to the underworld to be judged as heretics.
As for Heckfoss, he could only take the remaining apostles and enter the City Alliance of Sean in the south, looking for his own opportunities again.
"When will this war end?"
"Yes, the men have all gone out to fight. Now that they have gone out, there are only women, old people, and children left in the city."
"It's almost time to stop!"
"Who knows? The Kingdom of Pusuote has already occupied the north. Who knows if they will start a war in the south? These war maniacs!"
"Have you heard? When King Tuten died, he became a terrible monster! "
"Yes, yes, I also heard that he did not die after his head was cut off. In the end, he was burned alive. Everyone in the army saw that scene."
"Pah! That damned guy must have been possessed by a demon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been constantly fighting wars."
Marina looked at the women who were weaving with their looms and chatting. The form of workshops had become popular throughout the City Alliance of Sean in the south. These peasant women would also work in workshops during their free time to earn some money to support their families. In Te。, small workshops like this were everywhere.
The demand for labor was extremely high, and during the war, prices had skyrocketed. As they passed through the city, they could hear people complaining about the war everywhere. A large number of men had died in the war, and many of them had not returned home for several years. No one knew whether they were still alive or not.
Marina's mood also became heavy. She walked through a few streets and arrived at a castle in Teφύς. The castle was full of people. This was the newly established Akkad Alchemy College.
In the dean's office, Akkad's hair was now all white, and his straight back was slightly bent. This made Marina's mood very heavy.
"Teacher, the war is over!" Marina said as she walked in.
Akkad pushed his glasses up and asked, "What do you mean?"
Marina immediately told him the news that she had received. "King Cetisius of the Pusuote Dynasty signed an agreement with us. I heard that Cetisius is a very gracious king who abides by the agreement. I think this peace agreement will last for a long time."
Akkad nodded. "It's only temporary peace. If you want real peace, you have to work hard. I am old."
Marina immediately said, "Teacher, you are still energetic. You will definitely live to a hundred years old!"
Akkad laughed and said, "You are cursing me!"
Marina realized that she had said something wrong, so she could not help but stick out her tongue.
