Chapter 782: Chapter 782: The Opposite Side Probably Won’t Make a Move Anymore

Amidst the turmoil, the pace of development in the territory not only didn’t slow down but actually accelerated.

Indeed, although these people caused immense destruction to the territory, Zhao Guang had actually been prepared in advance.

It has to be said that the talents Zhao Guang brought with him were truly capable, each very competent. Knowing ahead of time that there might be those who would cause trouble, they meticulously planned and handled many things.

If it weren’t for the two unlucky ones who got killed before they could escape, the plan would have been perfect.

Despite the destruction, it freed up a large amount of labor in the entire territory.

Perhaps ‘freed’ is not the right word, but rather, a large number of people were turned into slaves bearing crimes, allowing for better exploitation of these people. With this batch of labor, the territory will develop faster, whether it’s city construction or land clearing.

At the same time, significant resources and wealth were obtained, which could aid in future development.

Most importantly, this action essentially purged the internal threats within the territory. The population of the territory had grown too rapidly recently, with all kinds of people joining in, making the composition of the territory very complicated.

Many people held various ideas, and there were even spies or saboteurs sent by others.

Taking advantage of this action, the majority was swept away. Although not completely eradicated, it was a significant cleanup.

For a long time to come, the development of the territory will be very stable.

Meanwhile, the Temple was also cleansed, and another huge hidden danger was eliminated. Because there were appropriate reasons, even if the Temple was expelled, its people couldn’t openly complain.

Zhao Guang was no ordinary person; he himself was a Great Mage.

The relationship between magic users and the Temple was known to be problematic, and what Zhao Guang did wasn’t considered excessive.

This time, it was the Temple that struck first, so being penalized was within the rules. Moreover, Zhao Guang had the Silver Tower backing him up, one of the many mage organizations.

Even the Temple wouldn’t dare to directly confront all mage organizations.

The last gain was that the reserve soldiers and militias inside the territory received extensive training. With proper nurturing, these people can all become qualified soldiers.

If it weren’t for the limited number of soldiers in the territory, Xuanwu Territory could easily raise an army of two hundred thousand regulars in the future.

Keep in mind that these would be regular troops, not the rabble previously assembled by the two princes.

Such a big commotion was bound to alert the outside world, so soon, news of this spread throughout the entire Empire.

At this time, Balola, clad in military gear in the south of Imperial City, looked at the frontline report with an even brighter smile on his face.

“Your Majesty, is there more good news from the front?” They were at the frontline. His reference to the ‘front’ meant Zhao Guang’s side. Now, there were only two battle areas, and Zhao Guang held a very special position.

From that position, if played well, Zhao Guang would be a sharp dagger aimed at Duke Awgus.

If not played well, it was tantamount to a suicide mission. Of course, with Zhao Guang’s strength, he wouldn’t be in any real danger.

Balola spoke up, “Another elite force has come from the other side, truly elite. Among them was a Royal Knight and a Great Dark Mage who were killed by Zhao Guang in an attempted ambush.”

Yet another pair, those around him were instantly shocked. It was known that since arriving at the frontline, Zhao Guang had eliminated four superb professionals.

One of them was from the magic discipline, a precious talent indeed.

Even for the Klein Empire, while it may not have been a crippling loss, it was still a heavy one. There might be many such people within an empire, but those who die in war were few.

It could be said that this loss was unprecedented for the Klein Empire in recent decades.

“And the enemy’s troops, the Mystic Armored Turtle Corps, have clashed with Zhao Guang and have now stopped.”

A clash? Many had a general understanding. They might not know the key to that military formation, but they recognized its power. If Zhao Guang could hold his own in combat without dying, it suggested the advantage was on their side.

And those military formations clearly had some special issues.

Although unaware of the specifics, by combining the experience summarized from history, they knew that these formations absolutely could not be continuously utilized. If Zhao Guang continued to attack, they would certainly retreat.

But they wouldn’t issue such an order; what if the opponent sent another force?

Such forces, while absolute treasures, weren’t the only ones in the Klein Empire.

Zhao Guang was not only their trump card but also a Lord, and they absolutely couldn’t order him to take risks. This seemed like a decent outcome already.

“It looks like the other side won’t make any moves for now.” With such losses, the internal pressure on the Klein Empire must not be small.

As long as Zhao Guang continues on the frontline, the Klein Empire likely won’t act in the near future.

They were also worried that, after the Chirali Empire sorted out its internal affairs, it might turn its attention to an offensive against them.

Without the pressure from the Klein Empire, dealing with Duke Awgus would be much easier.

“Wait a minute, knowing the strength of Marquis Xuanwu, why would the Klein Empire send two super professionals after him? Although that Dark Mage is dangerous, Marquis Xuanwu is also a magic user.”

Looking at another report, Balola said, “It might be because of this, the Temple instigated an attack on Xuanwu Territory.”

“The Temple sent four super professionals this time, a Great Priest, two Holy Knights, and a Saint Heir. It’s said that three were killed on the spot while the Saint Heir escaped with severe injuries.”

“I see, so they must have reacted to the information from the Temple, thinking that Marquis Xuanwu had returned to support his territory.”

At that thought, everyone felt a chill; had the opponent succeeded, their situation could have been dire.

“The Temple has gone too far, interfering in our internal affairs. We must respond seriously.”

Without changing his expression, Balola then said, “Let’s address this matter after the war ends.”

Those present, who knew how many were related to the Temple, and indeed some among them were from the Temple. It was an unavoidable situation; after all, the core of the Temple was faith, and many had been followers since childhood.

Now was not the time to openly clash with the Temple, but if they didn’t provide an explanation, they would have no one but themselves to blame after the war was over. Although Balola dared not confront the Temple directly, using some methods was still feasible.
