Chapter 873: Chapter 465: The Hand of the Arsonist_1

After Mesmerizing Demon killed the Red Barbarians with the Power of Six Mountains, he used blood threads to pull the corpses into his own domain - the little girl had recently become interested in refining corpses, and she had a talent for working in this area, which was much easier than talismans.

Before, controlling hundreds of corpses simultaneously with blood threads seemed to have awakened her talent in this aspect.

Owen Bertram didn’t interfere and let her do as she pleased, secretly informing the little girl: if there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to tell Master.

Mesmerizing Demon, a small person but wanted to do big things, had a dead General Brad and a barely alive Miles in her hands, so why not... splice them together? And it was happily decided!

Magpie held a flower sprinkler pot in its mouth - General Brad’s Six Mountain Divine Artifact: Rain and Fog Creator. Magpie bore a grudge against Brad and always wanted to eat one of his eyeballs, but since Mesmerizing Demon said the corpse was useful, Magpie didn’t fight her for it and took the Divine Artifact instead, swallowing it to vent its anger.

At Owen Bertram’s order, Mesmerizing Demon and Magpie withdrew. Mesmerizing Demon casually took back the Beans Soldiers, returned to the Red Barbarians’ large ship, looked at the corpses all over the ship... and was reluctant to abandon them, feeling they were excellent materials. So blood threads spread out and pulled all these corpses into her domain.

The Summit Navy sent sailors to board the ship and sail it back together.

Only the once prosperous Manta Port was left in dead silence.

...

A few days later, this news spread throughout the Nanni Nation, then continued to spread to the Wood Dynasty.

The Fourth Tribunal Lord was extremely shocked, rushing to Manta Port in person to investigate. He brought six attendants, who were all speechless at the sight of the situation in Manta Port.

By this time, the Number Four Ancestral Medicine was completely gone, otherwise, his attendants would have turned into those monsters too.

The Red Barbarians came to the Eastern Land with a sense of superiority - although they had never really fought a proper battle, they believed in their hearts that the Empire’s army was far stronger than the Eastern Land!

For example, even after suffering a crushing defeat at Ehera Mountain Pass, the Fourth Judge still felt it was all on the Lester people, and had nothing to do with him. He still believed that he single-handedly saved the day, preventing more territories from being lost in the Nanni Nation.

If he had been leading the Empire’s regular army, the outcome would have definitely been different.

However, the Wood Dynasty’s navy sneaked in and attacked, annihilating the Empire’s only intact unit in the Nanni Nation, which greatly shocked the Fourth Tribunal Lord.

There was no way to hide this matter - for all of the Empire’s personnel in the Nanni Nation, this was a huge deterrence. Especially with their confidence, it was definitely a heavy blow.

Although the attendants knew limited secrets, the Fourth Judge knew from looking at the battlefield that it was the Reversion Elixir produced by the Imperial Secret Seeds Laboratory! He cursed in his heart, "You all deserve this! You didn’t inform me about such an important task as transporting the Reversion Elixir, what were you trying to do? Now you’ve been backstabbed and all died under this kind of elixir."

But while angry, the aftermath still had to be dealt with while holding their noses. How to explain to everyone? The Number Four Ancestral Medicine had to be kept secret, but they could not admit that the Northern Lion Brigade was wiped out by the Wood People.

The Fourth Judge sighed and ordered the attendants: "Seal this place immediately, collect the corpses, and erase all traces."

"Announce to the public..." He thought for a moment and said, "A mighty sea beast, on par with the level of the Ocean Devourer, has come ashore and wiped out the entire Northern Lion Brigade."

"Understood." The attendants admired how the Lord had come up with the most suitable excuse in an instant - worthy of being the Lord!

However, this was just the official statement, and the truth could not be completely covered up, as it had already begun to circulate in the Nanni Nation.

As for the news of the Northern Lion Brigade’s destruction, the impact was greater than the Fourth Judge and Owen Bertram had anticipated. After the Nanni Nation had completely leaned towards the Red Barbarians, the people from top to bottom feared the Red Barbarians as if they were ferocious tigers. When the Red Barbarians landed, they had fought with the Nanni Nation’s army several times and often won despite being outnumbered.

Over the years, these battles had been greatly embellished, and the Nanni people felt that the Red Barbarians were invincible.

The young king’s supporters, although they had raised their flags in defiance, were actually quite anxious: they were confident fighting other Nanni people, but they were worried that their soldiers would collapse without a fight when facing the Red Barbarians’ troops one day.

And now, the myth of the Red Barbarians being invincible had been completely shattered, much to the young king’s delight. He quickly announced that he had the support of the Wood Dynasty behind him.

Originally, there were two surrounding regions that had a wait-and-see attitude. When word of the Northern Lion Brigade’s annihilation reached them, they immediately pledged allegiance to the young king.

The impact of this matter would be far-reaching, and it was still in the fermentation stage, with its full effects not yet fully revealed.

...

In the Summit Metropolitan Office, the Emperor had gone on another "disguised private visit" a few days ago, greatly satisfying his vanity. The common people were spreading the news that he personally oversaw and uprooted the Johnson Clan. Various misdeeds committed by the Johnson Clan in the southwestern region over the years were also exposed, making His Majesty seem like a virtuous Great Master.

Additionally, there was news that the Emperor was personally training the new army. Students from various poetry societies published poems and articles praising the Emperor’s ambition to expand the territory.
