The thousand-year-old capital of the dwarves, the city of Omas, was destroyed. The looting continued throughout the night. This unbreached city has amassed over the years a wealth far greater than Okad's treasury. Battles are mainly fought by armies of the undead, and the soldiers simply follow behind them and take the treasure they want. Only a few of the most important treasure vaults were guarded by the mage forces directly under the Speaker's command.

The Great Army is in trouble in the inner city of Omas. The Dwilight Dwarven King, considered the most greedy and corrupt king the Dwarves have ever seen, entered the final battle with his remaining guards and guardians. Fierce fighting continued throughout the morning. By noon, the last of the dwarven resistance had been crushed. The heads of the Dwarven King's entire family, from the old king to his great-grandson, were hung on wooden poles and paraded through the city. None of the royal families of three generations who were in the city of Omass escaped.

Almost all of the dwarven warriors died heroically.

……

"Lord Kim," a herald reported to a middle-aged man in a golden robe at the city gate, "we have taken full control of the city. Only a small number of soldiers fled into the mine with women and children, and we did not dare to enter the old mines. ”

Mr. Kim seemed to be lost in thought.

"Leave them alone," he said, "go down." ”

"But the commander-in-chief's order ......"

"I've got a way to fix it."

"Yes."

The herald left. Mr. Kim shook his head as he watched him leave.

"How long is this going to last?" He said to himself, "No...... And that's the beginning. Hopefully I'll be able to hold on. ”

In the past, Speaker Nicholas still relied on Mr. King, who had been paying huge taxes for a long time. But now, with the wealth obtained from the Dwarven King City, even Mr. Jin himself has to start being careful...... Maybe at some point, even he will become Nicholas's outcast.

"The world will shake over this."

--------------------------------------

The city of pure white.

An old man in a white robe with a white beard looked out the window. Behind him, another middle-aged mage was dressed in the same white robe, with a solemn expression.

"And they really did it." The white-robed old man, the legendary mage of the French Power Kingdom, the "Lord of the Stars" Francis?? Solidar sighed.

"This is not necessarily a bad thing for my French power," said the middle-aged man, that is, George, the supreme consul of the Pure White City?? "They're determined to go to war, and there's no going to change that," Stewart said. If they raid us with an army of the undead, then we will be very passive. But now, they've exposed a hole card. We can immediately ask His Holiness the Pope to mobilize public opinion. The Okadians can only shoot themselves in the foot. ”

Both of them understand that the enemy's attack on the Dwarven King is just a small test! The only real target of the Okad Federation is the French State of Errios, which is also one of the three major powers.

"Don't you feel anything about these people's deaths, Stewart?" The Lord of the Stars couldn't help but say. Stewart is a capable politician, but with a little less human touch.

"Even if we are sad, it will not help, only to defeat Nicholas completely?? Best...... No, Nicholas?? Okade, we can avenge the innocent dead, "Now I immediately seek support from the Church, the Continental Chamber of Commerce, the Mercenary Guild 'Wild Rose', and the Empire, and jointly condemn the brutal Okadians. We must concentrate all our efforts. ”

……

Imperial capital.

Inside a side hall.

"Turn it off." The emperor said. The Prime Minister summoned a large mirror that reflected everything that had happened in the Dwarven King's City.

Emperor Dietford III watched it for only five minutes and was not interested in continuing to watch.

"Yes."

"Summoning all the nobles above the viscount level in the imperial capital to come to the main hall immediately to discuss the matter, and put the ...... The people of the church also called, "The emperor strode away," damn it. Are Dimi and Victoria still in the White City? ”

"I think so. Do you want to call them back? ”

"Nope. Just let them stay there. Tell them to inform Vane and François that I will be in touch with them soon. Now I'm going to draft ......"

Chief Venn and the Rector of the Institut de Solidar, François?? Solidar, these two are the supreme rulers of the French state of Errios.

"I see, you won't be on the side of those cruel executioners," said the Prime Minister, "and I'll do it for me to condemn Okard, Your Majesty." ”

"You have other things to do, Prime Minister. Write a ...... Orders for the nobles everywhere to prepare to gather troops. ”

"Your Majesty, what are you ......?"

"I hope I'll never need this mobilization order, Prime Minister." The Emperor's voice was a little muffled.

……

Some small country south of Okad.

The headquarters of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, where the Council of 500 is located. Many of the big businessmen with parliamentary qualifications may never set foot here in their lifetime, but under the arrangement of Mr. Jin, the de facto leader of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, nearly 200 wealthy businessmen from all over the world gathered here at this time.

"What do you want to do?" A female businesswoman in her thirties had an ugly face.

"Rumors, rumors are true." A man who looked like a rich boy glared viciously at the soldier in front of him.

Just now, these soldiers rushed directly into the venue.

"Everyone," the captain of the burly, bearded soldier looked at the tyed up merchants, and nodded with satisfaction, in front of the elite troops of the Okad who were equipped with lawbreakers, the escort of these merchants was a joke at all, "as long as you don't resist, we won't hurt you." As long as we cooperate with our actions, everyone's business will not be affected......"

"Even if you detain us," said an old businessman, "the functions of the Continental Chamber of Commerce will not be used by you." Mr. Kim will ...... Wait......"

He suddenly realized something, and his face became extremely ugly. The man who gave the loose chamber of commerce the prestige it has today is Mr. Kim. But if Mr. Kim ...... him?

"Oh, we have our own plans." The bearded captain kept smiling.

……

An island in the middle of a lake in the Donoz Sea.

This picturesque island is now the heart of the Church on the clouds. Although the Church Territory has long since become a kingdom within a kingdom of Okad, the Church with the largest inner lake in the clouds is still very rich.

The Pope woke up from his sleep. The legendary priest slept deeply, deeply. Even though he is 80 years old this year, as a nap, he must have slept too long this time......

"Anti-Magic Field." The Pope touched his beard and reached out, touching the space around him. The sea of clouds is cut off.

In the bedroom, there was not a single servant and guard of his own.

There was a sound of footsteps. The warden walked in. He is the only and legendary arcane spellcaster affiliated with the Holy See.

"Ragnar." The Pope softly called out the prison master's real name. He already understood what was going on.

"Your Majesty," said the warver, "come with me." I hope you don't resist, so that we can save each other a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

"Really?" There was a hint of compassion in the old pope's eyes.

"You're too old, it's time to retire." The prison master smiled.
