Chapter 804: Chapter 423: Obtaining an Insectoid Army!!!

Ivita had not expected that gaining Maximilian’s support would be so simple. She nodded to Maximilian, saying, "Thank you for your support."

"Just as you supported me in the past," Maximilian explained.

Maximilian said to Ivita, "The current situation is that the Compulsion Viscount has besieged Ambros City, and now many people are speculating about the outcome."

"My Lord, if you wish to stop more killing, you should go there."

Ivita shook her head and said, "Whatever the outcome, I will not support either side this time."

"Only one person can control the order here."

"Whether it’s the nobles falling or the city factions falling, it’s what I need."

"Therefore, letting them continue to war suits my interests. Conversely, getting involved in their affairs now would be disadvantageous for me."

Seeing Maximilian fall silent and displaying an expression of misunderstanding, Ivita said to him, "Their war will cause the privileged nobles and the guild leaders to die one by one, clearing the old order."

"Without the baptism of war and fire, this nation will only repeat its mistakes in a short time, leaving its contradictions and problems forever within the nation, draining its strength."

Maximilian said to Ivita, "But this will result in many deaths."

Ivita said, "Yes, but they have brought this upon themselves. We cannot cut our own flesh to fill someone else’s ulcer; it would only harm both ourselves and others."

"Now in the land of Ambros, everyone’s wish is for the war to disappear. But acting rashly without seeking out the cause and effect only adds trouble to this complex situation."

Maximilian scratched the back of his neck and said to Ivita, "I see, I don’t understand the complicated matters either."

"Anyway, I will do as you say."

Ivita said to Maximilian, "Old friend, wait here in this castle a little longer."

"When the day comes for me to raise an army, I will send you a signal."

Ivita raised the golden magic wand in her hand, and a terrible magical energy emanated from the wand itself, a concealment curse enveloping the entire castle.

Now, no one could find this place.

Ivita transformed into a hawk and soared into the sky, while Maximilian stood on the ground looking up at her. "Perhaps only he can bring peace to this land."

...

Ivita flew toward her territory in the west.

Over a year later, she finally returned to the territory of Baron Moro. By now the population of Baron Moro’s territory seemed to have significantly increased since she left, adorned with exquisite houses and cobblestone paths nestled among the mountainous region.

At least here, there was not the slightest hint of decay that plagued other territories.

Because it was situated on the edge and strictly adhered to the neutrality Ivita had mandated upon her departure, it had temporarily avoided the ravages of war and had instead gained a substantial workforce by taking in refugees.

The population, which had been less than ten thousand, now numbered at least thirty thousand.

The previously stored food meant that they were not lacking in supplies.

The people here wore intact, bright clothing, their faces brimming with happy and confident smiles, as great sky attribute magical power continuously flowed into Ivita’s body from the land.

The moment Ivita returned to her territory, her Light Soul merged with the entire land.

’This territory serves as a source of my sky attribute magical power and naturally merges very well with my magic,’ Ivita thought, ’Here, my magical powers are once again bolstered.’

’I could say that here, I even feel confident enough to face any witch beneath the Witch Queen.’

’However, this makes the feeling of being watched from behind all the more evident. Once I deal with the insect race of the Chaos Abyss passing through here, I will search for the source that makes me feel threatened.’

’As for Ambros City and the Compulsion Viscount’s army, let them fight a little longer.’

’Now going there would be like walking into a trap.’

Ivita’s Light Soul quickly detected something amiss in the territory.

Within the territory, there were some responses that were not human at all.

And outside the territory, a large number of insects from the Chaos Abyss were burrowed underground, ready to ambush Ivita’s land.

Ivita said, "It seems that even neutrality makes one a target for some. Are these insects from the Chaos Abyss prepared to massacre my people while passing through my territory?"

Using the convenience of the Light Soul’s integration with the territory, Ivita’s Light Soul swept over the external insects and indeed found three queens, who, with the experience from last time, helped her deal with these Chaos Abyss insects more easily.

In the mountains outside the Territory of Baron Augustus, behind the huge forces of hundreds of thousands of insects, three insect queens of the Chaos Abyss were communicating.

They looked similar to the two queens Ivita had encountered in Lombardy, dressed in exquisite gowns, glaring gold undergarments, and seductive figures, except their lower bodies were like those of an overbred and obese queen ant—half insect, half human.

Suddenly, the three queens felt a chill on their backs.

They said fearfully, "Why did our spiritual sense stop warning us of danger right after alerting us to a crisis?"
