Chapter 40. The Response of the Nations

Empire of Bajas, Imperial Capital Owental
In the imperial palace, in a luxurious and gorgeous small living room, a young man was sitting on the sofa, looking at a stack of documents leisurely.

At first glance, this is a handsome man with beautiful eyebrows. His figure is not burly, but rather thin. His sunny blond hair hangs down casually, reflecting his fairer skin than most women; the bridge of his nose is as straight as a snow mountain , the chin is slightly pointed but soft, the face is delicate and soft, the eyes are the most evil narrow and long shape, and the delicate dark purple pupils are like amethyst, full of indescribable beauty of temptation.

But at the same time, there is a coercion and temperament unique to Tianhuang nobles around him, which makes people involuntarily respect him.

Because, he is Jilknever.Lune.Rhodes.Al.Nikos, the 22-year-old current emperor of the Bajas Empire.

——This is a young emperor who is feared by the nobles and respected by his subjects. He is known as the most outstanding young emperor in all dynasties, but he is also an iron-fisted tyrant known as the "Blood Emperor".He has never been afraid of wantonly killing his own blood relatives.As early as the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he mercilessly launched one after another major cleansing of the domestic nobles, almost ascending the throne amidst blood and corpses, and then amidst the scolding and cursing of the imperial nobles, In the bloodiest way, many local dignitaries who were too big to lose their tails were eradicated, and the centralization of the Bajas Empire was completed at an astonishing speed.

As a price, countless mutinies, rebellions, and assassinations broke out in the Bajas Empire during this period, and the emperor's countermeasures were all bloody suppression, so every year, countless ignorant nobles were pushed to the execution ground by their families, and their heads were hung on the city gate. I don't know which wilderness to throw the body to feed the wild animals.

Therefore, in the gossip full of fear and hatred when the nobles of the upper class of the empire gathered , Drinking human blood every night, it's like the male version of the Bloody Queen.Even the most objective description of the emperor is inseparable from derogatory terms such as self-willed and arbitrary.

But in fact, in private, he is actually a handsome man with a refined personality, who likes to be quiet, and is quite bookish.

"...Hehe, the fortress city Ye-Rantier, which is known as impregnable, was captured overnight by the undead creatures in the city and turned into a lair of the undead? Don't the city officials have any brains? Li Yesi This time, Tijie Kingdom is really ashamed to the limit!"

Looking at the latest information in his hand, Emperor Jilknive sighed dumbfoundedly, "... Anyway, I can't imagine that such absurd things will happen in any city in the empire: being captured by the cemetery of my own city ? How idiotic does this have to be?"

"...Your Majesty, please don't just make fun of others! Has the murderer behind this incident been found out? Based on my knowledge of undead magic, unless someone did something behind the scenes, the city's public cemetery is no matter what There will be no such undead disaster!"

The old man who spoke was sitting on a chair opposite Emperor Jirknive, wearing a baggy pure white robe, with a conspicuous white beard hanging down to his waist, although his snow-like hair was still thick, But the aging age has also turned into wrinkles on the face, and only a pair of bright eyes still emit a sharp light full of wisdom-this old man who looks very tall at first glance is the empire. The strongest magic caster in history, the chief court magician, and the great sage of Fruda Paladin.

At the same time, he is also the most respected teacher and the most important think tank of Emperor Jirknever, and is affectionately called "Old Man" by the emperor.

"...It's not clear yet. From the point of view of the method, it seems to be the work of some evil organizations that worship demons, such as the famous 'Zilanong'. However, there seem to be rumors circulating in the local area. Before and after the outbreak of the undead catastrophe, once There are secret agents of the Slan Theocracy operating in the fortress city of E-Rantel, and it is said that they disguised themselves as Chinese knights and killed many people there, and even fought against the adventurers and troops of the Estij Kingdom..."

Emperor Jilknive replied, "...In addition, according to the secret report we planted in the Slan Theocracy, the Slen Theocracy seems to have indeed launched an operation against the fortress city E-Rantel not long ago... But my staff expressed doubts about this, because although the Slan Theocracy has always acted violently and cruelly, it is too crazy to openly sacrifice a city of humans to the undead or demons like this. Slap their 'human supremacy'! Just the loss of image and reputation is huge and incalculable..."

"...Well... how should I put it? Although from a common sense point of view, the Silian Theocracy should not tear down its own brand, do such a thing, and downgrade its image and status to the first-class cult. But if there is something involved behind it If the benefits are huge, there is no guarantee that they will not take risks..."

The great sage Fuluda slowly stroked his long beard while staring blankly at the ceiling, as if recalling the distant past. Reasonable. Otherwise, the Eight Desire Kings' rule over this world 500 years ago would not have been so short-lived... By the way, what happened to that city later? Are those undead creatures still entrenched in E-Rantel? "

"...They are still entrenched there. According to the reports of the escaped merchants, Ye-Rantel has become a city of undead."

"...Well, if this is the case, the only way for the empire to send troops to attack the Kingdom of Re-Estage will be blocked by the undead! More importantly, they will be gathered in the border city of E-Rantel. There are at least tens of thousands of undead creatures, which caused heavy losses to the kingdom, but wouldn’t it also pose a threat to our country in the future? Your Majesty, have you prepared for the border? The man behind this undead catastrophe has successfully hit the country hard this time The Kingdom of Liestij may target our country next time!" the great sage Fruda said with a little worry.

"...I have already ordered the imperial towns near E-Rantel to strengthen their guard. Besides, old man, you also know that I have not yet fully cleared up the opponents in the country and laid down an absolutely stable rear. The plan to invade the Kingdom of Rei-Estige. The main purpose of the previous expeditions was to take the opportunity to gather military power, and the second goal was to suppress those disobedient guys and consume their military and financial resources. The last goal is Fighting a war of attrition with the Kingdom of Re-Estege has continuously weakened the kingdom's defense capabilities. Even if the way to attack the kingdom is blocked by undead, it is not a problem. And use troops in other directions."

Emperor Jilknive replied, "...and, in fact, we don't have to worry about E-Rantel's undead going north to invade the empire's territory, because some people organized adventurers and remnants who escaped from the city near the border, and established The military stronghold, and successfully blocked the undead for us."

"...Oh? Who has such abilities? There are such heroes in the Rei Estege Kingdom?" Fruda raised his eyebrows.

"...a magic caster named Ainz Ur Gown led a group of survivors who escaped from Ye-Rantel and set up a camp on the edge of the forest and grassland to contain and fight against the undead. There is a buffer zone between us and the undead... that's all the information we know for the time being."

Emperor Jircniv shrugged his shoulders, "...In my opinion, whether it is defending against the undead entrenched in Ye-Rantel, or attacking the Kingdom of Re-Estize in the future, the magic caster's Powers are very useful, and it is worth the empire to pay a certain price to buy and win over..."

"...I think so too." Fuluda nodded, "...but it's better to have a closer look at that person's information first..."

"...Don't worry, old man, I'm not that reckless in my actions, and now I have asked my subordinates to find a way to arrange people to go over to inquire about the news..."

……

On the other hand, compared to the leisurely attitude of the Bajas Empire Emperor Jilknif and Emperor Fruda, who "seeing the excitement is not a big deal", in recent days, in the face of the Silian Theocracy, which has lost troops and generals one after another, , but it is much more miserable.

——The proud "six-color scripture" special forces were destroyed in half in the blink of an eye! [Sunshine Sacred Code], [Dark Sacred Code], [Wind Flower Sacred Code] The three troops were almost wiped out, and even got two extremely precious artifacts!
What's worse, after paying such a terrible loss, they still haven't fully figured out who the enemy is this time...
