Episode 12: The Descent of the Gods Chapter 14: Yale’s Visit
In the sixth month of the 10034th year of the Yulan Calendar, the Yulan Continent was once again in flames.
The Yulan Empire, the O’Brien Empire, and the Baruch Empire formed an alliance and began to launch the largest war in thousands of years against the weaker Luo Empire, the Rhine Empire, the Holy Alliance, the Dark Alliance, and the Extreme East Prairie.
The spiritual leader of the Extreme Eastern Steppe, Martial Saint ‘Tulilei’, had long since been warned by the Martial God and the High Priestess, and knew that this general trend was irreversible.
Plus, Linley had also been kind to him, Tulilei. Moreover, Tulilei didn’t want the warriors of the Far East Prairie to die in vain in front of the forbidden destructive magic of the Holy Demon Guides. Therefore, Tulilei had long ago dispatched his own Sanctuary disciples to talk to the kings of the three prairie kingdoms.
Although the kings of the three prairie kingdoms did not agree to submit to the Baruch Empire, they did not forcefully refuse for the time being.
As for the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance, the top echelons of the alliance had been eliminated, the holy domains were almost wiped out, and the two alliances had become as scattered as a sheet of sand.
The O’Brien Empire army, through the passage in the north of the Beast Mountain Range, drove into the Holy Alliance. Those well-informed kings and grand dukes in the Holy Alliance, when they knew that the Holy Island had been destroyed and that the Illuminati’s top brass had been killed or injured. Some of the kings and archdukes chose to secretly meet with the people of the O’Brien Empire.
In fact, the news of the destruction of the Illuminati hierarchy was still spread by the O’Brien Empire’s side on their own initiative.
Coupled with the fact that it was true, some of the surviving members of the Illuminati in various places couldn’t cover it up even if they wanted to. Obviously the Holy Alliance was about to become a historical term, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely conquered by the O’Brien Empire.
At least for now. It’s just a matter of time.
And the situation of the Dark Alliance was not much better than that of the Holy Alliance.
Of course, the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness originally had quite a few people scattered outside, although the headquarters was destroyed and there were not many Saint Domain experts left. However, those who managed things in the mundane world were still mainly those who were in the mundane world.
Thousands of years of rule. The influence of these two major sects was still very strong.
The remnants of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness, especially some fanatics, were simply unwilling to give up.
Religious beliefs were really strong.
Relying on various means, either gentle or bloody, in short, the two great Holy See still relied on their own over ten thousand years of accumulation to stabilize the situation of the two great alliances. They were bound to prepare for a battle with the Yulan Empire and the O’Brien Empire, and they were not willing to give up until the last moment.
At the foot of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. On a desolate road in the southeastern province of the O’Brien Empire.
A strange man whose entire body was shrouded in green robes stood on this desolate road, looking around, and only from that pair of his withered fingers that were like chicken claws exposed from his long sleeves could he barely determine that this strange man should be a withered old man.
Only his eyes were green, as if the eyes of a wolf in the dead of night.
Behind him stood nine humanoid creatures shrouded in silver robes. The nine humanoid creatures shrouded in silver robes all stood respectfully behind the green-robed, withered old man, as if they were servants, very respectful.
“Yulan continent, this is the Yulan continent ……”
An old and low voice came from the green-robed withered old man’s mouth.
“Cough. Cough ……”
Coughing sounds rang out, this green-robed withered old man looked a little breathless.
Suddenly there were two youths riding steeds in front of them, side by side on this desolate road, these two youths looked at the green-robed withered old man and the nine silver-robed mysterious figures standing on the road in front of them, and they didn’t know why, but a trace of coldness naturally bubbled up from the bottom of their hearts.
These two youths very consciously controlled their horses, wanting to quickly leave from the edge of the road.
They didn’t want to get involved with this seemingly mysterious figure in front of them.
“Humans ……”
Seeing the two youths, the green-robed, withered old man’s green eyes lit up. One could only see that he was so thin that only a layer of skin remained. The two claws similar to chicken claws flatly stretched out, and immediately a weird invisible force controlled those two youths.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
These two youths felt themselves unable to move. Spinning around, they unexpectedly flew up without their control. Like arrows, they shot extremely fast towards the green-robed, withered old man, which caused both youths to scream in a low voice in terror.
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
Both hands grabbed the head of one youth each. Instantly, those two youths’ faces spasmed in pain, twitching continuously as if they were having a seizure.
“Oh, Martial God and High Priest? And that legendary Earth Dragonblood Warrior?”
This withered old man murmured in a low voice, and then those green eyes glanced at the two youths whose eyes were white from convulsions, “Poor children, I grant you, eternal relief.”
Immediately, the two youths’ bodies landed on the ground, but there was no trace of life in those two bodies, they were both dead.
“Unfortunately, these two souls are too weak, sucking them up won’t help me much.”
This withered old man, however, let out a long breath in comfort.
Sucking in souls?
If one were to hear it, it would simply be appalling.
However, the nine silver-robed mysterious figures in the back were silent and respectful.
“Now that the Yulan Continent has set off a large-scale war covering the entire continent, this is your best chance, go, children, don’t let me down.”
The green-robed withered old man’s pale voice rang out, and those nine silver-robed mysterious figures all respectfully knelt down on one knee, “Yes, Grand Sorcerer!”
And then ‘whoosh’ ‘whoosh’ the nine silver-robed mystical figures, transforming into nine silver lights instantly turned into points of light and disappeared into the sky. The speed was so fast that if Linley, Desiree, and the others had come over and seen it, they would have been appalled as well.
“The Yulan Continent, ah, 10,000 years, yet so much has changed.”
The green-robed withered old man let out a low sigh, “Let’s recover our strength first, and then visit Lord Beirut when the time comes.”
With that, the green-robed withered old man’s body moved, and he instantly disappeared as a phantom.
Baruch Empire, Dragonblood Castle Hall.
“Big brother Yale, it’s unfortunate that you’ve come at such a bad time, a few months ago, my brother, he had already closed his doors to dive into cultivation.”
Walden said helplessly to Yale who had arrived this time.
“Oldest three he has dived into cultivation?”
Yale frowned.
“What? Is there something troubling you? Why don’t you talk to me about it. Maybe I’ll be able to help you out as well. Walden said with a smile, he was also aware of how Yale and Linley’s land had a good relationship, and it was only natural for him to help with Yale’s matters.
Yale pondered for a moment and said: ”Wharton, can’t he come out to see me for a bit? This is something that is really more important to me.”
Walden apologized, “Big brother Yale. I’m really sorry, my brother, this time his closed-door cultivation is different from the past days, this time is more important, my brother in the cultivation before, has given an order, if there is not a very, very important thing, absolutely do not allow anyone to disturb him. In fact, even if I agree for you to see my brother, I still need to go through Mr. Sessler, as well as others.”
The Dragonblood Castle, attached great importance to the matter of Linley’s occult cultivation. Relationships were no better with Linley, and if it wasn’t to the point where there was no way out, it was absolutely not allowed to go see Linley.
“This way… ……”
Yale mused for a moment.
“Then Walden, I won’t bother Lao San him, eh, I have other things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Yale said.
Yale’s visit was just a small matter in the Dragonblood Castle’s view. Everyone didn’t care too much about it.
The next day.
Imperial capital Baruch Empire, in the imperial palace.
Sydney walked into the back garden with large strides. Smiling, he said to Yale who was waiting in the back garden, “President Yale, I’m really sorry for making you wait for a while, President Yale, please have a seat.”
After Sidney got the news that Yale had come to visit him, he immediately put down his hands to meet him.
After all, Sini also knew of Yale’s relationship with Linley.
“Your Majesty Sini, I’m not in a hurry, Your Majesty’s matters are more important.”
Yale was very humble.
Although back then, when Sydney was still young. When Yale went to meet Linley. There had also been times when he had played around with Sydney. But nowadays, Sydney was after all an emperor of an empire, in the palace. Yale’s attitude was still humble.
“President Yale. Don’t be so polite, why are you so polite with me?”
Sydney said with a smile. “Say, what’s the matter? If I can help, I’ll definitely help.”
Yale said, “Then, Your Majesty Sini, I’ll be straightforward. This time I came here because I want to ask Your Majesty Sini for a favor. Your Majesty Sini, aren’t you guys currently engaged in a great war with the Roo Empire? And it’s winning in every way.”
“En, right.”
Sini nodded slightly.
In the back of his mind, he wondered what Yale was doing mentioning this.
“I have a request that might be a bit excessive.”
Yale said.
“Eh?”
Sydney looked at him.
Yale smiled and said, “It’s like this, I know that this time, the three empires are joining forces to completely conquer each other, and this war is sure to be a fierce one. And I believe that the Baruch Empire has even captured a lot of enemy soldiers nowadays.”
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
Sydney looked at him.
It was normal to capture the other side’s soldiers during a war.
What’s more, the goal of this war land was to completely conquer the Roao Empire. How could this Roao Empire’s royal family agree to that? Naturally, they hysterically resisted.
“Your Majesty Sini, you captured these enemy soldiers and ended up mostly making them slaves. I think, Your Majesty Sini, could you sell all these captured soldiers to our Dawson Chamber of Commerce?”
Yale spoke for a long time before voicing his request.
Sydney’s brows furrowed at once.
Selling captured enemy soldiers to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?
Generally the enemy soldiers captured by the empire would be used as cannon fodder in the war. Or they would let these enemy soldiers build bridges and pave roads, dig mines, comb rivers, and so on, doing the hard and heavy work. Perhaps a small number of captured soldiers would be sold.
But to sell all the captured soldiers to a chamber of commerce.
This was a rare thing.
Because this is the empire and the empire ‘either you die or I die’ large war, usually an empire will have two or three million soldiers, if you add the reserve army and so on there may be millions of more, in the war of extermination, generally captured soldiers will be a lot. For example, if you destroy a large army, it is not impossible to capture 100,000 people.
After conquering the Luo Empire, there would be hundreds of thousands of captured soldiers at the very least, maybe even more.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, although captured, were after all capable soldiers. To give such a large number of people to a Chamber of Commerce?
“This ……”
Sydney hesitated.
Although the other party was Yale, Linley’s earthly elder brother, this Yale’s opening was too big, to have all the captured soldiers of the Baruch Empire sold to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
“Your Majesty Sini, what are you worried about? Our Dawson Chamber of Commerce firstly doesn’t have any big territory, secondly we don’t have any Saint Realm powerhouses such as Lao San, they are just captured slaves.”
Yale persuaded, “Your Majesty Sini, please also help.”
Yale spoke sincerely.
“President Yale, your Dawson Chamber of Commerce didn’t involve much in the slave market in the past, why do you need so many captive soldiers now?”
Sydney asked rhetorically.
Yale laughed, “This is just an internal discussion within the Chamber of Commerce and a final development plan.”
Sydney pondered for a moment and looked at Yale twice more.
In fact, captured soldiers were of little use to the Baruch Empire, after all, their goal was to overthrow the Luo Ao Empire, and they would definitely not, after the war, exchange captured soldiers for money. Secondly, in Sydney’s opinion, so what if these slaves were given to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be that the Dawson Chamber of Commerce also wanted to claim the throne?
Ridiculous!
After all, the true foundation of a large empire was the strongest people at the very top!
“Alright, I promise.”
Sydney said.
“Your Majesty Sini, I am truly grateful.”
A smile appeared on Yale’s face, “You’ve done me a great favor, thank you so much indeed.”
Sydney and Yale talked to each other for a long time, and after they had shared lunch, Yale left.
After Yale left, Sidney thought carefully about this matter and felt confused: “What is this Dawson Chamber of Commerce doing getting involved in the slave trade for no reason? Moreover, as far as I know, Yale and uncle relationship is very good, Yale is also the kind of very generous people, but rarely will beg people to do difficult things, but he this time ……”
