Chapter 39 - Severely Injured Aidan

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Aidan fled all the way until he entered the Kejins City. Only then did Aidan land.

His clothes were already tattered, and the Spear of Victory in his hand was also 60% corroded.

Sensing the presence of the Archbishop, the Holy Knight Donald, immediately rushed out of the camp.

Because he sensed that the Archbishop, Aidan, was abnormal, his current fluctuations were very unstable.

After supporting Aidan, he asked, “Archbishop, are you alright?”

Aidan was initially so frightened that he straightened his body. He turned his head and saw that it was Donald. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

“Phew, it’s Donald!”

“It’s not a big problem. The most important thing is that his mental damage is a little more serious.”

“Help me arrange a place to stay. I need to rest for a period of time.”

After arranging for Archbishop Aidan to stay, Donald had some thoughts and went to Empress Mavis’ house.

“Your Majesty, Archbishop Aidan has returned to the camp today.”

“Heavily injured!” These last two words were specially emphasized by Donald.

Looking at Donald’s conflicted expression, Mavis knew what he was thinking.

But as the Queen of St. Mariga, if she used such a dishonourable means at this time.

Then the country’s culture and luck would be exhausted in an instant.

Even if she completely controlled the entire St. Mariga, Mavis would continue to use bloody and violent means without end!

This was not what she wanted, and it was also what he did not expect to happen.

However, there was still one thing he could do now, and that was to fight for more authority through the third elder of the Senate.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up and walked to the desk to write a letter.

“Archbishop Aidan is here these few days, so you don’t need to worry too much about my comfort. Help me send this letter back to the Senate.”

After receiving the letter, Donald arranged for Two Holy Knight commanders to stay by Mavis’ side before leaving the Eastern City of Kejins with peace of mind.

The letter would soon arrive at the Duchy of St. Mariga. When the three elders learned about Aidan’s serious injury, the three of them immediately took action.

In their words, “this kind of opportunity rarely comes once every ten years. If we don’t take action now, when will we?”

While Aidan was still in the defense line of Kejins, the third elder had completely taken control of the entire Holy Court, but he did not kill them all.

A few days later, Aidan recovered and returned to the Holy Court.

He was not surprised to find that everything had changed in the Holy Court. It was even within his expectations.

After all, he was not a good person. Sooner or later, he would have to pay for his mistakes.

After the deputy bishop of the sacred court greeted him, Aidan went into seclusion.

This was also something that could not be helped, because this battle had directly corroded Aidan’s body by the darkness origin.

If he did not completely remove it during this period of time, he would become the second Hall.

Until this moment, Aidan did not understand why his teacher did not pursue him in the end.

Empress Mavis controlled 60% of the Holy Court’s knights and immediately summoned all of them to Kejin’s defense.

However, the entire Undead army in the northeast direction did not make any movements, which made her very confused.

The third commander, who had been waiting for news from the Dark Eternity Domain, did not believe that Hall’s side would fulfil their promise in the beginning.

After three days, they found that there was a magical change in the Southeast direction.

The three commanders in the castle could feel the pressure from Hall even though they were hundreds of kilometers away.

At this time, they were already considering whether to report this to the Dark Eternal Domain.

But after thinking about it, they remembered that Hall was the same Undead creature as them.

Thus, they didn’t bother about these things.

To Undead creatures, anyone who was higher in rank than them would be respected.

Therefore, reporting this matter to the Dark Eternity Domain, in their hearts, was telling a superior and provoking another superior at the same time.

In their hearts, they had already recognized Hall as another feudal lord, and they were nobles behind the feudal lord, so they would definitely judge their actions based on the combined strength of both sides.

Feeling the greatest threat disappear, the third commander-in-chief was not in a hurry to start a war. Instead, he continued to collect information on the humans.

Because this time, they did not want to exhaust the enemy to death through endless battles like before.

On the other side, after Hall completed the conversion ceremony, he obtained the strongest military Cameron.

Through the contract, Hall obtained Cameron’s complete memory, and all the doubts that lingered around him were slowly solved.

The death of his family was indeed caused by him.

Because Hall was too powerful at that time, and he had the help of the emperor of Fergus.

That was why Cameron used very dark methods to lure Garcia Alberta to make the Empire so weak.

As the imperial army division, Alberta acted in defiance of the old emperor and instigated the war between the Empire and the Duchy of St. Mariga

When Aidan heard about this, he was very angry. Facing the million-strong army that attacked Kejins, he directly destroyed them with the spear of victory.

This attack not only killed the entire army, but also directly penetrated Gabi and Bader city.

In this battle, many people were lost. The emperor of Fergus died, and Asuma, Gabi, and Bader City Castellan, the great nobles, also died.

Cameron was seriously injured in this battle.

Before he went into seclusion, Cameron gave everything to Alberta, telling them not to touch hall as much as possible.

But Alberta thought that Cameron was injured and would definitely die in the seclusion, so he began to do as he pleased.

First, he trained the new emperor of Fergus into a puppet, only knowing how to throw banquets and sleep with women all day long.

Then, he began to impose taxes on the other three cities. He did not want to develop the livelihood of the people in these cities, and he ruled them in the most violent way.

However, this was not enough for him to rule the entire empire, because in the southernmost area, there were still two largest cities, William Bay and Alex.

Moreover, the number of troops stationed in the two cities had already reached a million. This made it impossible for him to wage war against the two cities.

This was because the three cities around the imperial capital added together could not form an army of 500,000 soldiers.

Since there was no way to target the south, he would start from the north!

He first recruited soldiers from Lanfex, which was the territory of Hall’s descendants, and then began to investigate hall throughout his life.

After obtaining a lot of information, he decided to eliminate this person who was the most famous in the empire.

Only then could it take over the position of Emperor as a matter of course. Otherwise, when his new king suddenly became the ruler of Fergus, the people below would definitely not be satisfied.

But in the end, one wrong step, one wrong step, there was no room for redemption..
