Chapter 987: Chapter 242: It Seems Like an Old Friend Has Come

"To be honest, I used to think, Master, that you harbored some ambitions akin to the Demon Clan, and recklessly dampened the prestige of Aegean. But after a recent talk with my father-in-law, Ibrahim, I’ve learned a secret. Before the Demon Clan left the Aegean Continent, they evacuated with over two hundred Giant Dragon skeletons. So, now I’m starting to believe in what you said. Good heavens! Over two hundred Skeletal Dragons! What the hell does that imply?" Liu Zhenghan spoke earnestly, "Even without the Skeletal Dragons, the Demon Clan was formidable enough. Setting aside their strong military units, if I recall correctly, it seems that the actual rulers of the Aegean Continent back then, the omnipotent Goblins, were mostly wiped out by a dreadful plague spread by the Demon Clan called the ’Undead Scourge,’ which obliterated most of the population and extinguished the splendid Goblin civilization. From this, it seems the Demon Clan has too many tricks up their sleeve; any confrontation with them is going to be tough."

"You’re right! What worries me most is precisely this. With the Demon Clan’s invasion this time, who knows what kind of plague they’ll bring forth?" Master Saint Chiao sighed softly, "The Demon Clan is too cunning. The genotypic plagues they create are highly effective at killing specific races. Without surprises, they will likely first target the technologically advanced Aegean Race, who, despite their exceptional talents, had limited numbers. Warfare primarily depended on attrition strategies, so the massive extinction of Goblins didn’t cause too much damage to the Aegean Continent back then. But today’s Aegean Continent can’t handle such a scenario! Currently, the most populous and technologically advanced are the humans. If the ’Undead Scourge’ wipes out half of them, the entire continent would be doomed! What’s infuriating and lamentable is that, at such a critical moment, mankind is divided by internal strife, not yet fighting the enemy but instead destroying half their own walls. And let’s not forget, the fallen Elves placed by you on the surface are lurking, ready to stir up trouble. My heavens, there’s much mischief yet to come!"

"It’s an unavoidable situation, Master. Look, even the Bimon Kingdom is getting ready to wage war against the Desert People. When action is needed, action must be taken! Sometimes, war is simply inevitable." Liu Zhenghan shrugged helplessly, "You don’t need to worry too much. After all, humanity isn’t just Pompeii and Saint Francisco; these two countries have been at odds for a long time, a fact well-known across the continent. Let them fight. There are dozens of other human countries whose combined strength far exceeds these two."

"But Pompeii and Saint Francisco are the most formidable military powers on the entire Aegean Continent! One possesses alchemical prowess with Alchemist Aymar, and the other boasts magical strength with Master Stefano. Once these two countries go to war, other small countries dependent on them will undoubtedly, willingly or not, be dragged into it!" Master Puskas spoke, his expression turning grave.

"Could this turn into a World War?" Helen muttered softly from the side.

"Hard to say, young lady. It’s also unfortunate that my advice to Richard was so misguided. Because you handed over the remains of the Golem ’Edward Scissorhands’ to Prince Zhang Bolun of the Saint Francisco Empire, somehow, this information leaked out and Pompeii Empire got wind of it! Damn it! I don’t know how it leaked, and I didn’t expect such a fierce reaction from the Pompeii Empire." Master Puskas sighed again, "The Holy Vatican originally planned to expedite a campaign to the Donau Wasteland, seizing the landing site of the Dumb Moon. But with these two countries falling out, all the Vatican’s initial plans have now halted. Recently, the two Dragon Knights, Gaxia and Lampard, have been stationed in the capitols of Pompeii and Saint Francisco, negotiating with the royal families, hoping to mediate in the name of the Vatican, but today both Dragon Knights came to Sabak to see me, clearly having failed in their talks."

"It’s better if they fight!" Liu Zhenghan laughed heartlessly, "If they don’t fight, the Vatican will come to bother me. Isn’t the Dumb Moon landing on the Sanggan River? Now I’m saved the trouble; no one will fight me for it. Obischillaci, the ancient civilization on the Dumb Moon, haha, maybe there are some ancient weapon blueprints?"

"Nonsense! Technology is advancing, and magic is progressing! Where do you get the idea that ancient weapons are better than the modern ones? Of course, the Goblin Civilization is an exception. The Vatican is as foolish as you, coveting the Dumb Moon, greedy for any ancient civilization relics that might be there. But I can absolutely say, with certainty, that the likelihood of ancient civilizations on the Dumb Moon is zero. Even if there were, they would have been destroyed during the era of the gods’ and demons’ war! The intensity of that global conflict wouldn’t have allowed a Dumb Moon with ancient weapon blueprints to remain in the sky. But rest assured for now, I’ll persuade the Pope not to rashly start a war. With the face of Dragon City and mine, there shouldn’t be any problems, after all, the Pope knows priorities. Ah... What times are these, if war breaks out with the Bimon Kingdom now, Aegean Continent might as well not bother with the Demon Clan invasion, it would destroy itself from internal conflicts." Master Saint Chiao said bitterly, "If only my Prophecy Method could analyze the whole cause and effect clearly. Damn... Now what troubles me most is how to find a way to contain the impending state of war between Pompeii and Saint Francis. Must we resort to using Saint Level spells and the two Dragon Knights to demonstrate the Vatican’s divine authority?"
