Chapter 1256: Chapter 482: Fight Evil with Evil

The royal capital of the Boneset Country, "Hamilton City", is surrounded by a dense, ancient fir forest and a winding Great River. With its bustling, prosperous city and a population of four million, the city is crowded and narrow. The truly wealthy and powerful nobles, clerics, and high-level believers live in villas outside the city.

These expensive villas are either hidden in the forest or stand by the Great River. At the beautiful southern foot of Sagula Mountain, eleven kilometers northeast of the city, sits a magnificent palace built against the mountain. This is the "Oulan Palace", a stone-carved palace and landscaped gardens covering seven hillsides, belonging to Boneset’s Royal Family.

It took the Royal Family sixty years to construct this miraculous palace and many times longer to gather treasures and art from various places to fill it.

This symbolizes the strong national strength of Boneset. Under normal circumstances, Oulan Palace would be filled with the music and laughter of palace banquets. However, these past few days, the atmosphere inside the palace has been tense. Ever since the loss of Nanni Nation’s colony, the frequency of banquets at the "always joyous" Oulan Palace has significantly reduced.

Since General Lennard led the expedition, the frequency of feasts in Oulan Palace increased initially. Yet three days ago, General Lennard suddenly sent back an almost despair-inducing battle report: the expedition fleet had encountered a terrifying "plague", and almost completely annihilated at Five Mountains!

General Lennard has now led the remaining strong men, driving the Prince Harold Ship, and launched a "desperate charge" towards the Eastern Land!

The Emperor immediately met with the Pope. These two most powerful men in Boneset Country had a confidential conversation for four hours. The Pope calmed the panicked Emperor, still believing victory belongs to My God!

Although the fleet was almost completely destroyed, the Empire still had an absolute advantage in top combat power. If General Lennard could throw away all his worries and initiate a desperate battle, four Seven Mountains Power figures, in collaboration with Lady Ilda, still possess the ability to turn the tide. Our task is to prepare for the aftermath, quickly muster a new expeditionary force, and go to Eastern Land to collect the fruits of victory from the Seven Mountains Power group.

After the worried Emperor returned to Oulan Palace, he immediately summoned the Prime Minister and all cabinet ministers. Everyone stayed at Oulan Palace awaiting further news from General Lennard.

This wait lasted for three days, yet there was still no news from General Lennard. Until this evening, Lady Ilda reported to the country: "After my onsite confirmation on the battlefield, the four Seven Mountains under Lennard have sacrificed for the country."

"The Empire’s expeditionary force, completely annihilated."

The Emperor lost his composure on the spot, his legs turning weak. When he fell, he knocked over a large number of court ceramics, shards scattering all over the floor with an ear-piercing crash sound.

The Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers were all in a state of mournful shock. The Pope rushed into the palace to discuss important matters, but they couldn’t come to a conclusion after an entire night.

The number of Seven Mountains in Boneset greatly exceeds those in Wu, but even losing four at once, there isn’t too many left. More importantly, the loss of such a huge fleet cannot be replenished in a short amount of time. The Empire urgently needs money to build a powerful fleet, yet even if a fleet is built, there aren’t enough experienced sailors and naval forces. Furthermore, even if the fleet were to be formed, could it defeat the Wu people?

Never before had Boneset Country, with its history full of advancements, experienced such dread and fear as it does today!

Even when the Nanni Nation colony was lost, the people of Boneset Country still believed that they were far more advanced, civilized, and powerful than the Wu dynasty! However, the total defeat and annihilation of the expeditionary force has thoroughly shattered the self-confidence of the people of Boneset.

At this point, they had no time to consider the battle reports coming from the coastal provinces. Those detestable pirates begin to show signs of alliance, forming fleets to land and occupy towns...

The Noble Council convened at noon on the second day as usual, full of loud arguments. The hawks were still tough, waving their fists in emotional speeches, yelling to turn Wu into ruins with ship cannons. The doves tried to persuade them, arguing that the cannons can’t reach the Wu inland.

There was no resolution even after a week of arguments.

In just half a day, this important battle report that should have only been spread within the Noble Council quickly reached the spies of Lode Country and Sunset Country on the same mainland. To obtain such important information, the front-line spies of the two countries paid an inestimable price.

However, when the information was sent back, the decision-makers of both countries were like those of Boneset Country, each faction arguing endlessly, due to their different positions. Their efficiency wasn’t any higher than Boneset Country’s Noble Council.

...

The King of Souls returned to the Miniature Underworld with the Ghost Fleet, protected from the watch of the Flame of Stars by the double-layered isolation of the Abyss and the Miniature Underworld, saving Lennard and the others from the collapse of their souls.

Lord Sun still presides over the Void Sky Road, and when he saw Lady Ilda fly over from above, he gave her a smile. Lady Ilda sighed and left dejectedly.

The island is full of joy, as each of the families’ mighty ones had prepared for a hard battle. They were well aware of the strength of the high-level believers, but none expected not even needing to engage, as those Seven Mountains Power figures fell one by one!

Following such a powerful leader, everyone is as motivated as the King of Souls. The prospects are very broad.
