Chapter 512: Chapter 512
This left Baiyu extremely perplexed.
He and the Third Prince are like locusts on the same boat.
If anything happens over in Kyoto, Baiyu will be affected too.
There’s also another matter.
It seems the Imperial has made a move against Eternal Sleep City.
Baiyu figured this out from recent reports.
Eternal Sleep City suffered heavy losses from Exotic Beast invasions; when this news came out, Baiyu found it somewhat odd.
What Exotic Beast could break through?
If there weren’t internal issues, such reports would never appear.
The Imperial’s patience with Eternal Sleep City has finally reached its limit.
"Eternal Sleep City, Demon Race, Sea Demon Race, Shell People Race."
On the wooden table in the room.
A massive map of the East Prosperity Imperial spread across it.
The Sea Demon Race is located in the east of the Imperial, coastal areas, under the jurisdiction of Shuiyu City.
The Spirit Realm, where its Shuiyu City Shelter is located, is known as the ocean region.
It is also the stronghold of the Sea Demon Race.
Heavy troops guard this area year-round led by the Second Prince, Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Imperial Grand Marshal Ren Tianxing.
The battle with the Sea Demon Race has now entered a decisive stage.
Neither side can retreat."
On the wooden table, Baiyu made a large mark within Shuiyu City’s range with a marker pen.
The scale of Shuiyu City is much larger than Zenith City.
Comparing with Villiduo and Kyoto, it is considerably smaller.
Large stationed troops are there year-round, so the residents have an avid admiration for the military.
For young men, joining the military is their main path.
In Shuiyu City’s civilian background.
There are also a large number of followers of the Scar God.
This God is also known as the God of War and Blood, one of the seven gods of Canglan Star.
Although within the East Prosperity Imperial, there isn’t a Church for the Scar God, even churches are exceedingly rare.
Still, it cannot stop this deity from having a high popularity in the military.
Baiyu has been analyzing the Imperial’s situation during this period.
Because ever since the fall of Zenith City, he no longer trusts the phrase "impregnable fortress."
Ultimately, one’s safety must be in one’s own hands.
Zenith City, as the County City of Maple Leaf County, also had the nickname of the Undefeated City.
Wasn’t it crushed by several Giants, as well as the forces of the Demon Race Wumian Mansion and Demon Race?
If Baiyu hadn’t exerted himself at the last moment, more people from Zenith City might have died.
Dare it be called the Undefeated City.
Baiyu felt depressed for quite a long time.
If he hadn’t considered Zenith City as an impregnable fortress.
He wouldn’t have been completely unprepared when disaster struck.
Baiyu won’t make it a second time.
"Aside from the battlefield at Shuiyu City, there’s also the Shell People Race’s side."
At this moment, Qiong Xue, who had been observing beside, placed her fair finger on a spot.
Rarely was she not asleep.
Baiyu glanced at her in surprise and said, "Indeed, the battle on the Shell People Race’s side is also at a stalemate."
One of the major exotic races opposing the East Prosperity Imperial.
Unlike the Demon Race or Ghost-faced Race species.
The Shell People Race has always been under the influence of the Flesh and Blood Research Association.
Is a type of humanoid creature.
Known for their heavy shells on their backs and commonly moving with four limbs.
From a human aesthetic standpoint, this thing is basically a low-budget version of Scorpion Lily, hideously ugly.
The combat power of the Shell People Race is even above that of the Sea Demon Race.
Mainly, these shell people have lived underground for years, advancing to attack or retreating to defend.
Each shell person is extremely strong in singular combat capability.
In terms of defense alone, it takes at least a Tier Eight Martial Artist to break through.
"The battlefield of the Shell People Race is at the Steel City Shelter, located in the Stone Realm of the Spirit Realm.
The entire Steel City has entered the highest wartime status.
Resources and troops from all over the country are flooding in."
Although the news reported that the East Prosperity Imperial had achieved a great advantage on the battlefield.
Zenith City Demon Race, Steel City Shell People Race, Shuiyu City Sea Demon Race, Imperial all holds the upper hand, and the three exotic races retreat one after another.
Baiyu feels the real situation isn’t as rosy as described.
After all, this is a three-front battlefield, multi-line combat, which is a major taboo.
And if the Imperial’s strength is really that strong, why didn’t they directly wipe out these three races back then, but instead waited until now?
The Empire of the past was a nation of war with Legendary Ship Equipment and a gathering of powerful warriors.
But now, just looking at the number of Legendary Ships shows that the Empire’s strength is declining.
Baiyu doesn’t know what the Empire’s higher-ups are planning.
Now the Empire is also taking action against Eternal Sleep City, which makes it a four-front war.
"If you’re worried, you can personally take a trip to Kyoto to see what’s going on with the Third Prince over there."
Qiong Xue said softly.
Baiyu shook his head: "Now that I’m in Mountain City, how can I just leave whenever I want? In any case, it’s impossible for the flames of war to spread here in the short term.
Moreover, the surroundings of the East Prosperity Empire are not exactly good places to go.
It’s the Righteous Dao to root in Mountain City, solidify our territory, and quickly bring Erza over."
To the north of the East Prosperity Empire is the Free Federation.
This is a nation built by dozens of small countries, plus a few merchant states and big capitalists.
Its army and national forces are quite acceptable.
It’s just that most of them are mercenaries.
Between the Free Federation and the East Prosperity Empire, there’s a special region where the Great City is located.
Is an extremely special city.
It doesn’t belong to any country, yet maintains a non-interfering relationship with the surrounding countries.
The City Lord of the Great City is said to be the peak strongman of the Human Race.
So everyone gives him some face.
This is also the favorite spot for fugitives and transnational criminal syndicates from nearby countries.
As long as they don’t break the laws of the Great City.
They can live freely and unrestrained.
To the south of the East Prosperity Empire is an endless ocean, and across the ocean is another continent.
To the east, there is a strait connecting to the Great Yan Dynasty.
It is a completely barren and uninhabited area, known as the Great Wilderness.
Except for a few Shelter entrances, with cities guarding them, most places are uninhabited.
Are all manned by the joint military forces of several major countries.
Around the East Prosperity Empire, besides these major countries, there are also some scattered small nations.
If East Prosperity is defeated, the invasion of exotic races will be rampant in these regions.
"In any case, the war situation is not something you and I can control.
We must quickly gather strength now.
Find a way to get Erza to enter the outskirts of Mountain City; that’s the most important thing at the moment.
Also tell the Qiong Family and the Ning Family to take this opportunity to stockpile various resources and items. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.net
There might be significant changes in East Prosperity’s situation afterward."
Baiyu heavily circled a few areas on the map, looking serious.
If Baiyu hadn’t said this, she wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss.
But since losing contact with the Third Prince, it seems the situation in the East Prosperity Empire has changed a bit.
The princes haven’t been heard from much during this time.
This would be absolutely abnormal in the past.
Qiong Xue pondered secretly, wondering if it was due to His Majesty the God Emperor’s recovery.
It’s said that the God Emperor of the Empire has been recuperating in the Capital Imperial Palace.
Only recently has his health completely recovered.
Just as the two were conversing.
Erin suddenly knocked and walked in, bowing: "Master, someone outside is looking for you."
Baiyu asked, "Didn’t they say who they were?"
"It’s two young women.
One named Roxia, and one named Count Bene; they also brought a team of personal guards and two carriages."
Baiyu was somewhat surprised.
Why did these two suddenly come for no reason?
Although Count Bene and he resolved past conflicts, their relationship could hardly be called good.
How did Roxia get involved with her?
"Bring them to the main hall; I’ll be there shortly," Baiyu instructed.
"I’m not sure about Count Bene, but I guess Roxia is here to make you fulfill your promise.
You promised her last time you’d help her deal with the followers of the God of Encirclement."
Qiong Xue yawned lazily, "I’ll go rest first; you handle this yourself."
Alone and full of questions, he went to the main hall.
There, Count Bene and Roxia sat nearby, and in the center of the hall, there was a large wooden box.
It was sized like the cargo hold of a small truck.
What kind of act is this now?
Baiyu glanced at the two and chuckled, "You two, delivering gifts when there’s nothing?"
