136 Eastern Empire

The Eastern Empire

One of the oldest countries

It’s official nan Alliance of the Naska-namrium Ulmeria Empires (SAN-NUE)[1]

People say that it has been two thousand years since the records first speak of nations th

And for two thousand years, San-nue did not allow a single rebellion to go unpunished

Under its sole emperor, Ludora Nam Ul Naska

Who ruled with an iron fist

And thus the empire eventually came to be called sienous state

They rule through power, conquer and pillage, co] allows anyone to achieve greatness as long as they are powerful

There’s only one reason why this empire has yet to invade the Jura forest–they are in the o, they atteate Veldora and lost a city because of it A whiret

Around a hundred thousand lives were lost that day, and that was a city fortified to be the gateway for invading the forest They have built it up over a hundred years

“Build up your forces, conquer that forest, and expand our do wish since then

Expand beyond the Jura forest–their failures pained them for a hundred years

But ould a country as bountiful as the Empire need to expand?

Only because the Emperor wanted it to be so

That was the only reason, but no one coressed, the Empire build up its forces and weapons

And hundreds of years ago they announced its invasion plan

Who would have thought that a single foolish idea that commanders had would cause that plan to crumble?

The forest needs a master Those lizards are no threat to us!

This foolish thought let them to their doom

They hardly knohat actually happened The books, the record keepers, and anyone who kneas reduced to ash

Their dreams, their ambitions, were reduced to ash

And time passed

The Empire continued with an additional creed: “Never invade Jura Forest”

Veldora’s anger left it’s scars; his power revealed hoide the world really is; the Empire could never as much consider an invasion

There were those who resented Veldora, but not one of them would disobey a superior–each of who ks never reached the upper echelons As such, the ar control superior to before the invasion

They could not allow the second invasion to fail

For them, this was an opportunity to prove their loyalty to their Empire

And two years prior, they received those news

Storon Veldora disappeared

The Empire rejoiced The time has come! Drums of war beat now even in the hearts of the commanders

These were not brash youth; they were hardened soldiers, so the fires in their chests burned all the brighter

Moreover, they could hardly allow their Eer

And the Ele word,

「Prepare」

The Empire was ablaze in activity

The Empire, you see, has a Political and Military branches Both are ed directly by the Emperor

No one else has any real power there

There are nobles, but their only boon is a fancy name and ability to enter the parliament without an election

Perhaps soe property, but such would be a rare and special person

In other words, the Emperor has absolute power

This Feudalistic state listens to the wishes not of the people but of the Eed his loyalty to the Emperor

Even Imperial Guard is but a position that is rotated between various troops

Can you believe it: a single person is ardless of how bizarre it may seem, the truth is thus: the Empire has enjoyed ave his orders

Surely everyone was elated to hear them, but no one rushed–they meticulously carried his orders out

And soon the preparations were co towards the capital

Inside, ae, an are was driven by a knight clad in black

Yuuki’s entourage

「By the way, shouldn’t we restore your arali asks Yuuki the most obvious question in the world

A loss of body part, albeit significant, could be treated with a high level potion Even Kagali’s ic could restore that kind of wound

There’s hardly a reason to reali could think of

「Hmm? It’s fine, no problem!

They say the blacks myself ato that bastard Leon!

What? “I’ll surely win!” you said?

Instead you suffered a terrible defeat and we barely escaped with our lives!」

「Ahaha For you to be that angry He was stronger than I thought, so what could I have done about him?

Besides, it’s not a loss if you live to see the ot an ultion

Also took that Red Knight’s teleportation power, so what’s the big deal?」

Yuuki casually responded to Kagali’s gruali decided to give up

The fact is, Yuuki suffered a crushing defeat before Leon

His truained were not worth the loss

Luckily, when the Chaos Dragon’s poas taken it disrupted theYuuki and the rest to escape by teleporting away

Even so, Kagali could not bear to see Yuuki remain as he was, so

「Yuuki-sama, are you sure you would not like er than I remember him

As such, I must take responsibility for ainst hiali finished the sentence, Chloe opened her eyes and glanced at Yuuki,
