"Ding Ning Ding Ning Ding Ning ~"
"Sing this song ~"
"That is New Treasure Island!"
"Sin ~"
Ever since the masquerade ball at the Golden Smile Concert Hall, the entire Nur fell into the craze brought about by "New Treasure Island". The people crazily followed the song and the magical dance steps. Under the purple lights, the Nur people sang and danced together. The craze of the song spread to every corner of the city. Whether it was the nobles, the citizens, or the poor, everyone fought to learn the diamond-shaped dance steps.
Only the dwarves living in Nur protested. It was not that the stubborn dwarven engineers of the Empire didn't want to follow the trend, but after trying it out, the dwarves were furious and swore that they would find the great artist van Darkholme and pour dwarven beer down his throat until he lost consciousness.
Hidden under the craze of "New Treasure Island" was the action of Nefrata and the Lemia Sisters. Just as she promised, she began to purge the Cult of Chaos and the Traveler's Guild.
On the first day, three of the Traveler's Association's strongholds in Nur were destroyed by the Nefrata. More than four hundred people died on the spot. Queen Lemia kept the cultists' offerings, badges, and evidence of the cultists' crimes away, making it impossible for anyone to say anything.
Then, she officially began the operation.
On the second day, another stronghold of the Traveler's Guild fell. More than 30 cultists of Chaos were captured. The Empire's Countess Emilia immediately sent people to confiscate all of their belongings and burn them at the stake.
In this way, in despair, the Perverts of the Revelers Association found themselves helpless and leaderless. Lady Qingrou was dead and there was no one to lead this Chaos cult. They could only watch as their strongholds and hidden bases were uprooted one after another. Nefrata knew these Perverts all too well.
In the second week of the operation, the big fish started to appear.
Nur's General Von Rundstedt and Marquis Stroessner were proven to be cultists by Nefrata.
At first, Amelia didn't believe it at all. In the eyes of the little maid, the former was a loyal general, while the latter was an outstanding architect and an expert in internal affairs. Amelia even suspected that Nefrata was trying to frame her.
However, the evidence was irrefutable. Not only did Nefrata collect all the evidence, she even used necromancy to make the two nobles think that they were dreaming. She even performed all sorts of forbidden rituals to please the cultists.
Amelia had nothing to say to that.
The operation codenamed "Operation Purge" was officially carried out. The Grand Chanter Casmir the Ninth personally led a large group of Nur troops, combat priests, and demon hunters to destroy the two families and erase all traces of them. All their land and belongings were confiscated, and everything was purified and burned through rituals. Their names were erased from the history of Nur.
The moment the mission was completed, Nefrata and her men disappeared into thin air. Laing, who wanted to get rid of the vampire queen, was a little disappointed. But he didn't regret it too much. Nefrata was smart enough not to make such a low-level mistake.
When the problem was solved, it was already May. The weather in Nur had begun to warm up.
It was about four o 'clock in the afternoon in the Kurfürst's palace. The sun was shining brightly.
In the courtyard of the Kurfürst's palace, Emmanuel, Duchess of the Empire, Suria, Duchess of Musillon, and several other female nobles were sitting together. The head maid, Sylvia, was standing behind Suria. Perhaps something bad had happened in Nur recently, but these female nobles didn't care so much. When they first came up, they were still reminiscing and expressing regret. But as Emmanuel took out the golden key to open her little treasure chest and took out the tea from Aurora, the women immediately forgot about the Chaos cult and the mass burning on the execution ground. They began to drink afternoon tea, chatting and laughing. The main topic of their discussion was "The Wind Rises", "New Treasure Island", and the great artist who had disappeared, Van Darkholme.
Emilia was quite leisurely. The Duchess of the Empire was wearing her favorite princess dress and lace blouse. Since he had stayed in Nur for a long time, Laing had actually begun to teach little Frey Derick how to read and master spiritual energy. He also provided suggestions on internal affairs.
Nurr had a city council to begin with, and Amelia was only responsible for checking and signing the documents. Now that her man was in Nurr, Amelia's heart was filled with confidence. Her body was also nourished, and her mood was obviously very good recently. She held her afternoon tea and smiled. "Sister Sulia?"
"What's wrong?" Suria, on the other hand, was wearing the standard Brittany noble costume. She was wearing a white velvet coat and a blue pleated skirt. Under the skirt were a pair of long legs wrapped in black stockings. The female knight and Emilia were wearing the same high-quality stockings from the Empire's most high-end brand, 'Wolford'. Not only were the stockings' elasticity and material top-notch, they were also luxuriously embroidered with lace. On the high-quality, soft, and elastic tulle background were embroidered with two-tone rose patterns.
Of course, the price was also shockingly expensive. It was said that a pair of Wolford stockings could be sold for 100-150 gold marks in the noble circle. Not to mention the citizens of Nur, even the small nobles could not afford such a price.
Even so, Wolford stockings were still priceless.
Only a few people knew that the owners behind this brand seemed to be Duchess Suria and Countess Emmanuel. These two powerful women in the Old World had invested in it together.
"Are you … planning to leave?" Emilia asked cautiously. She always seemed to lack momentum in front of Suria. Every time Suria straightened her back, Emilia would immediately look down subconsciously. Then, her beautiful face would instantly fall. "I noticed that you are already packing your things."
"We've been in the Empire for five months. It's about time to go back." Suria picked up a cup of Brittany black tea. She elegantly pinched the handle of the cup with her fingers, lowered her head, and took a sip of the black tea until it was at the same level as her mouth. Then, she put it down again. Her entire set of etiquette was impeccable. After she did this, all the female nobles present looked away. Then, they tried to imitate Suria's action of drinking tea because this was the latest trend in Nur.
The nobles in Nur did not like Laing, but almost all of them liked and admired Suria. After staying in Nur for a few months, the Duchess had already conquered the entire Nur court.
"Look at the way Lady Suria drinks her afternoon tea. You'll realize that she and her soul carry the fragrance of tea."
— Speech in Nur court
"Hmm … Don't you want to consider staying for a while longer? I can take you hunting, hiking, and then have a picnic. " Emilia was obviously reluctant. She was mainly reluctant to part with Laing, but of course, she was also reluctant to part with Suria.
Emilia and Suria used to be very close, but after they each had their own children, their relationship cooled a little. Suria was slightly wary of Emilia and her son, Frey Derick Jr., while Emilia was still a little resentful that she was not the Duchess.
"No, it's about time to go back. Laing has already completed a lot of the tasks that Mu Xilon gave him. He has to go back and continue to preside over the development of the industrial belt along the river and the construction of the manors." Suria put down her teacup and smiled at a gorgeously dressed woman sitting at the end of the table. "Is Olivier's matter almost done?"
"Yes, Lady Suria." The woman was wearing expensive silk clothes, but she was obviously so nervous and excited that her brain was congested. She still could not believe that she would one day be at the Empire's Duchess' afternoon tea party! This was the highest standard of all the women in the Old World!
She was Olivier's second wife. Olivier's wife thought that she could brag about this afternoon tea party for the rest of her life. When she heard Sulia's question, she was so excited that she almost stood up. "Olivier … he's basically done with his business."
"Basically?" Suria smiled and asked, "How long more?"
"About two or three weeks." The woman's rude behavior made the nobles around her frown.
"Then Laing and I will stay for about three weeks." Suria nodded. The duchess actually wanted to go home. Nur was magnificent, but she still liked being the hostess.
The expression on Amelia's face froze. She took a minute to think about it before nodding sadly. "I understand, Sister Suria."
Laing can only stay for three weeks?
Then I have to hurry up.
… I'm the dividing line of the plastic sisters …
Late May, Old World, Border Prince's Territory.
The Border Prince's Territory was a barren and barren land. Because of the Black Mountain Range, the Empire's army had to cross the Black Mountain Range or pass through the Black Fire Pass to enter the Great Plains of the Avey Territory. Therefore, the Empire never tried to reclaim this province after losing it. Instead, they stationed a large number of troops at the Black Fire Pass to guard against the possible invasion of the Green Dwarfs.
After that, it became a new land without a master. Some of the Empire's fallen nobles built some settlements here, followed by a small number of Brittany knights. These knights did not make it to the final battle of the Flaming Red Expedition. When they arrived at the Border Prince's Territory, King Jafar of Araby was already dead. So the knights painfully found that there was nothing to offer their Duchess. So some of the less devout knights decided to settle down here, longing for glory and wealth.
Later on, many mercenaries, criminals, bandits, wanderers, adventurers, and escaped slaves settled down in the Border Prince's Territory, gradually forming the current scale.
As a matter of fact, the Border Prince's Territory was indeed a barren and dangerous area. But it wasn't as dangerous as many people claimed. The Dwarf City, Sebalak Sea Gate, stood firmly at the estuary of the Black River. This magnificent fortress resisted most of the harassment from the Green Dwarfs in the South, allowing the human residents of the Border Prince's Territory to barely protect their territory from being drowned by the Green Dwarfs.
But when Tarim Khan chose to bypass the Sea Gate and attack the Eastern Border Prince's Territory directly, the residents realized in despair that the end of the land had arrived.
When the Chaos army appeared in the Border Prince's Territory, the Kurgans, ogres, and Chaos dwarfs were surprised and ecstatic at the 'richness' of this land. A fragile human kingdom! Countless slaves and sacrifices!
The entire army of Chaos was almost instantly divided into thousands of small combat gangs! They screamed and destroyed everything they saw. This army, which had low morale after a long expedition, was finally like a hungry wolf that saw a lamb! Their bloodthirsty eyes were fixed on their prey. Now, it was time to enjoy all of this!
The human residences in the Border Prince's Territory were scattered. Many large residences only had thousands of people and two to three hundred troops. They were not strong enough and seriously lacked excellent weapons. In just two weeks, all the human residences that the Chaos army passed by were turned into ruins and rubble. Tens of thousands of humans died under the blades of Chaos, and a few captives were 'captured' by the Chaos dwarfs, ready to be transported back to the Dark Realm as slaves.
However, in the depths of the Border Prince's Territory, the Chaos army finally encountered a small obstacle, an insignificant trouble.
A man, a border prince, a notorious scoundrel, a shameless scum, had led his Eagle Mercenary Regiment and his iron cavalry to defeat a small gang of Chaos that had attacked his territory.
This glorious victory made his name resound throughout the Border Prince's Territory.
He was the famous' Black Prince 'Litebald, a master at the peak of the legendary level.
However, people rarely called him that. They were more willing to call him 'Blackheart Reppu'.
This man had countless of the worst qualities. He was vain, arrogant, vicious, paranoid, hypocritical, cruel, and shameless. He had betrayed the alliance more than a dozen times, so no one in the Old World was willing to believe his promises. This was because he was too despicable. He only had gold in his eyes, and he would do anything for it.
However, it was undeniable that Blackheart Reppu's extraordinary martial arts and fearless bravery had allowed him to survive countless battles. His talent in strategy and tactics had also allowed him to often win victories. After spending a few decades, Blackheart Reppu had successfully obtained a piece of land in the Border Prince's Territory and announced the establishment of a 'kingdom.' Not only did he call himself the 'Black Prince', he also shamelessly claimed that he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Karl-franz and asked all the Border Princes to pledge their loyalty to him.
Emperor Karl-franz didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard about this. This was because Blackheart Reppu was almost seventy years old this year, and the Emperor was only in his forties. However, the Empire didn't have the time to care about the bastards in the Border Prince's Territory. After seeing the 'tribute' that Blackheart Reppu sent to Brunswick that was worth thousands of gold marks, the Emperor and his courtiers chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it. They casually conferred Blackheart Reppu the title of Border Baron, which was considered as enlistment.
Victory came and went quickly. Blackheart Reppu soon realized that his insignificant victory had attracted the attention of the Army of Chaos.
At the end of May, on the smoke-filled battlefield, the earth and the mountains were trembling under the might of the Army of Chaos. The yellow-green flow of filth that covered the horizon was gradually approaching Blackheart Reppu's army.
Blackheart Reppu did his best to resist the attack of the Army of Chaos. He and his cavalry charged in groups twice and pushed back the Army of Chaos. However, when he fought his way out of the encirclement, the notorious mercenary leader realized that he was the only one who had managed to escape from the Army of Chaos.
The bald mercenary baron looked around and realized that he was surrounded by many Warriors of Chaos. Behind the heavy armor and masks were the Kurgan's hideous grins.
"Oh my god, this is hell." Blackheart Reppu panted tiredly. After fighting for a few hours, he and his mount were exhausted. However, this didn't stop him from having a wicked sense of humor. The mercenary baron grinned. "But I'm the Child of Hell! You sons of b * tches of Chaos, don't even think about keeping me here! "
After swinging his sword twice, Blackheart Reppu endured the fatigue in his body and killed two Warriors of Chaos who were charging at him. He threw away the shield that had been cut in half and spat. "F * ck your mother! You sons of Chaos, your mother is dead! No, you're all motherless sons of bitches! "
The mount barely managed to carry Blackheart Reppu out of the encirclement. At this time, his Eagle Mercenary Group was in a tight formation to meet the Army of Chaos. The mercenaries looked at the endless Army of Chaos and shivered. However, they were still shooting with their guns and crossbows.
"What bad luck." Blackheart Reppu lowered his head and cursed. He knew that this war could not be won. However, he still had things to do.
Chaos was coming from the south!
He had to find a way to inform the Empire!
