The Bardi Ea-ein of this country, and even the eht—the Bardi Empire’s capital city was also named Bardi
In order to differentiate it from the country, the people of Bardi typically addressed the Bardi capital as just the capital Outsiders would call it the Bardi capital
The Bardi capital encompassed an area that was approximately one thousand square kilometers in size, which included several dozen smaller satellite cities and even rivers and mountains If a person intended to walk from the very outskirts of the capital city all the way to meet Emperor Orloss in his palace, they would need to prepare at least teeks’ worth of food and travel equiph it wasn’t the largest district The royal palace was very well guarded Since Orloss had far too le most secure area in the entire country Plus, all the princes who formed factions and were always at each other’s throats resided here as well No politically sensitive person would ever choose to visit the royal palace if they didn’t have to
During daytie in the Dilo District had a noble or government official’s emblem Anyone who idled on the streets for a short period of tiht to come question them
Despite all of this, the Dilo District was still ranked number one in the Bardi Empire for rate of occurrence of serious crimes As Emperor Orloss, as "quite elderly&8221; and "really wanted to see orthy of inheriting his throne,&8221; tacitly perht and kill each other, this place was, suffice to say, a chaotic one
Every prince had gangs,him None of them would personally take action This made assassins and spies into the two most common jobs here And people in these jobs were accusto off bystander witnesses, so it was an unstated piece of common sense known to everybody in the Bardi Capital that no one should enter the Dilo Royal Palace District after nightfall
The end result was so that seemed rather abnormal On the wide streets of Dilo District, people cahttime, the streets were completely empty, while black-clothed or caped individuals could be seen ju about the rooftops In fact, it was even coreet each other&8221;
"Oh, isn’t this the Fourth Prince’s Great Knight Ca you here—where are you headed today?&8221;
"I’e It’s said that the arche is so powerful that the balance between the factions has been affected My boss wants e’s e if he’s actually weak And if he really is that strong, I’m supposed to teach him the rules of hoork around here&8221;
"What a coincidence—that’s ether&8221;
"Of course The reill be the sao alone? Wouldn’t that be foolish? Right, I heard that this arch Do you have any special information about him? Share it with ray-caped ainst a boss ood friends
But no outsider would be able to guess that the black-clad ray-caped ray-caped er Not only were they not friends, they had fought each other to the death just yesterday night
"Let’s go together!&8221;
"Together!&8221;
"Let’s all gang up!&8221;
The two of them turned around to see a black-caped man, a red-caped man, and a man with a purple mask It would seem that their tea up to fight against a boss monster in a cave
Yet theseas if they had beco each other the previous night Perhaps half of their bodies would be found in the gutters tomorrow, most likely because of these temporary teammates That was because all of these sohters had sizable bounties on their heads
Third-rate assassins, uards, disobedient deserter soldiers, and even local hoodlusters Every underside faction of society could be seen here
As Eot closer and closer, he seehts that broke out here in the Dilo District In fact, he even stopped sending knights to patrol out in the evenings The result of this was that the princes’ infighting got even fiercer—now, it basically out in the open They spent large a to kill each other They didn’t care about their assassins’ backgrounds or even power levels As long as an assassin could complete the task and survive, the assassin would naturally be a loyal dog worth theEveryone else in the royal capital addressed this worsening infighting a&8221; The princes stood up high on a platforht and die for the rings did things?
And it just so happened to be that this "dogfighting&8221; was getting worse and worse every day, to the point where it seemed like it would soon s up the entire capital
"…No sense of life left in hi is completely ineffective on him He’s likely to die at any moment&8221;
A certain head doctor at a certain royal medical academy secretly leaked this infore payhts and executed
Holy Light’s healing effects, foundationally speaking, worked to return the living to its "nor was incredibly effective against external injuries as well as poisons However, it was basically useless on so a body part That was because the Holy Light would judge that the broken lie that for you?
The undead were filled with negative energy, and to the Holy Light, whose purpose was to return the living to a "normal&8221; status, they naturally becaic, if a person was at the end of their life because of old age, their "normal&8221; status would be equal to alht would be powerless to do anything in such a situation Blindly using the power of Holy Light to stimulate the last throes of one’s life would only make that person die faster
Froht was ineffective on an elderly person’s illness or condition was a notice that death would soon cohts acted swiftly and immediately executed the doctor who leaked this information and used all their means to prevent any further spread of information, this in a way confirmed the veracity of the doctor’s leaked inforht Sies in the e the princes fight from a distance
After all, it seemed quite obvious that a new emperor would soon be chosen It was now the last opportunity to choose a side, or even personally try to become emperor The rate of return if the person you helped became e to gamble their entire fortune and even their very life on it This was a huge ga and status would reat authority under the new emperor If they lost… actually, that wouldn’t matter much to the major nobles There were always eneration As long as there was no incredibly deep grudge, all a major noble would have to do was speedily retreat back to their doonize the e as they kept a low profile
Since the major nobles, overn action, its internal order fell into utter chaos even though E was only calm on the surface, but trouble brewed underneath
The only fortunate part was that Emperor Orloss still had his authority and was as vicious as always—nobody dared to bring the infighting out in the open, so only the royal palace district was chaotic… you’d be so naïve if you thought that was real! If Chaos was really possible to control, then the Chaos Faction would have long made peace with the Order Faction
On the surface, everyone kept pro to not affect the ordinary citizens Yet roups to attack their co the market wildly unstable All the nobles’ underworld factions were acting as well A single hoodlue commotion in an alley, not to mention every military movement would make an entire city district of people unable to sleep well at night
The citizens were no fools Considering the fact thatal well kept popping up dead, the ru by theer been a secret that E death&8221; would be soon Even if it was understood that Emperor Orloss wished to use this special method to find an appropriate successor, ordinary citizens only wanted to have a peaceful life Hoould they possibly enjoy this chaos? Especially since they were still currently at war?
That’s right—war Not to mention, ith several other countries
That so-called Holy Light arons However, they were still currently within Bardi borders, although otten about theood news frohtrain City Thanks to my ridiculous actions, Undead Lord Davey and all the Undead Lords under hih-ranked undead arrived to take overall co Undead Lords who didn’t participate previously finished blahtrain City would be under much less pressure
