Clang!!
Marvin stood outside the door and listened to the sounds of crashing and breaking.
Marvin couldn't help but shake his head. He stretched out his hand and adjusted his collar. Then, he turned to his colleague and said in a low voice.
"It seems like His Majesty is still in a bad mood today."
"Of course."
Standing beside Marvin was the Holy Empire's current Minister of Internal Affairs, Ralph.
He twirled the ring on his finger and scanned the surroundings. Then, he let out a sigh and answered.
"After all, the Empire has lost a leader this time. No wonder His Majesty is so angry.
Up until now, only the Country of Light has sent an army … "Ralph revealed a strange smile and extended a finger.
"An army of 100 people."
"100 people?"
Hearing this answer, Marvin was even more speechless.
He finally understood why His Majesty was so angry. Now, Seth had almost become the most famous joke in the entire Klein Continent.
Originally, His Majesty thought that once he raised his arm and called for help, the allies and vassal countries would immediately flock to help. He did not expect that this time, they did not even attract a single country. Of course, the Country of Glory did not count. Based on the hatred between the Country of Glory and Zayen, unless they were destroyed, they would definitely do something to help.
It was like an actor who thought highly of himself and was full of confidence that as long as he went on stage to perform, there would be countless audiences coming to support him. However, when he really walked on stage, he found that there were only two or three kittens in the audience.
It wasn't hard to imagine how awkward the situation was. Not to mention, Seth had made the matter known to everyone in order to display his authority. They thought that the country bumpkin overlord would definitely lower his head and apologize under such pressure.
However, they didn't expect that the enemy would actually grab a brick and smash it on the back of their heads. The Holy Empire's Seth was still in a daze from the impact.
What was worse was that the entire process was broadcasted live by the entire continent. It was imaginable how much damage this had done to the Holy Empire's reputation.
Not to mention, the damned Church of Holy Church was still adding insult to injury and forcefully pulling him out of the picture.
Originally, His Majesty had hoped to force the Holy Church to deal with Jenn internally, but now it seemed that this was impossible.
The Holy Church was adding insult to injury, and the other allied countries were also watching from the sidelines. For a time, the Seth Empire, which had originally been incredibly powerful, actually looked like it was about to become isolated.
Of course, it was impossible for him to be alone. After all, the allied countries were indeed powerless. Otherwise, they would have more or less sent some people to pretend.
Even if he couldn't bear to send his elites to their deaths, he could still send his enemies to their deaths …
But no matter what, Seth's reputation had been ruined badly this time.
The Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Intelligence exchanged looks with each other and sighed in unison.
If this incident were to happen in Coruncia, they would surely treat it as the best joke for a long time.
But now, he had become the laughing stock of others after a meal.
They didn't even need to investigate to know how happy the group of Coruncia mages were right now. After so many years of opposing each other, they were very clear about each other's morals.
However, Seth couldn't possibly give up just like that. He had to fight for his reputation back.
But the problem was … What could he use to fight for it?
This was not something that they could decide. This was the responsibility of the military minister who was being scolded in the room at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the roaring in the room finally stopped. The two nobles who were eavesdropping at the corner immediately stood up straight. After a few moments, the door opened again and a burly, middle-aged soldier in a military uniform walked out of the room with sweat dripping down his forehead.
He respectfully bowed his head towards the room and muttered something. Then, he closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief. He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"How's the situation?"
Marvin and Ralph quickly went up to the military minister as well. The current Emperor Seth was relatively young, so those who followed him to the throne were mostly the young and strong.
The three of them were the core strength of the King's Party, so they had a good relationship with each other. Moreover, even though the military minister was the main scapegoat for this incident, as the intelligence minister and internal affairs minister, they couldn't escape the blame either. In fact, the two of them had already been scolded by His Majesty. If it weren't for this brother who suffered the same hardship as him, perhaps they would have faced even more insults.
Upon hearing their questions, the military minister let out a helpless sigh.
"His Majesty has decided to mobilize the Third Gryphon Legion."
"What?"
Even though they had expected this, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard the military minister's reply.
The Third Gryphon Legion was Seth's main force and also the most elite force guarding the White City. And now, His Majesty was actually mobilizing that force to deal with a small overlord?
"But, didn't the Empire recall all of its troops to protect Seth?
Won't it cause trouble by mobilizing the Third Gryphon Legion now? "
The Minister of Intelligence couldn't help but frown as he asked uneasily.
In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Seth's summons wasn't welcomed by the other countries.
Back then, when the Holy Church summoned everyone to protect the Chaos Coast, the vassal countries and allied countries mobilized their troops. However, Seth did the exact opposite and withdrew all of his troops.
Not only that, but he also set up three tight defensive lines along the White City.
Of course, they claimed that this was to stop the Undead Army from attacking. However, this didn't sound so good to the commanders of the Chaos Coast. We're risking our lives to defend the coastline and you think that we can't defend it?
So, why did you summon us here?
To seek our deaths?
This was also one of the reasons why the allied countries didn't give Seth any face.
"His Majesty has issued a death order. He's gone mad …"
The military minister turned pale. He was the one who suffered the worst spat at by the supreme being, so he naturally knew what this meant. Ever since His Majesty ascended to the throne — No, it should be said that ever since they got to know this supreme being, they had never seen him lose his composure like this.
They couldn't help but feel doubtful. Even if a mere overlord swept the Empire's face, was there a need to be so flustered and exasperated?
You're the ruler of the Holy Kingdom, Seth, and you have tens of millions of troops under you. You actually sent the Third Gryphon Legion over to a small overlord with a population of less than ten thousand?
What's going on?
It's a given if we win.
What if we lose?
What if we lose?
What should we do then?
"Do you think we have a chance of winning?
Old friend? "
The military minister turned around and looked at Marvin.
If anyone else heard his question, they would surely be shocked.
But now, be it the person who asked or the person who listened, all of them wore a solemn expression.
"I'm not sure, old friend."
Facing the military minister's question, Marvin couldn't help but straighten his collar and shake his head.
"We're all aware of the strength of the Third Gryphon Legion.
However, the strength of that little overlord is equally unfathomable. The Giant Dragon Legion, the Magic Fortress — I've sent people to get in touch with the soldiers who were escorted back by him. I'm sure that it's a massive, unprecedented aerial fortress.
This is also the reason why no vassal states are willing to send soldiers to respond to the call. No one likes to fight a battle that they're bound to lose. "
No one.
"But that's not what worries me the most."
But shortly after, under the gaze of his colleagues, Kavin spoke with a gloomy expression.
Upon hearing his words, the other two were startled and couldn't help but turn to look at him.
Upon sensing their gazes, Kavin couldn't help but let out a bitter smile and said.
"To be honest, we've been gathering intelligence on that overlord.
In fact, he did display strong individual strength in the beginning.
But in other aspects, he rarely displayed his strength.
And the things that we're witnessing now were all done after he was threatened.
For example, he had obtained the Giant Dragon Army from somewhere after he had been threatened by the Glittergold Empire.
The same goes for the Magic Fortress. We've been monitoring Passus for a long time, but we haven't found any clues.
Whether it's supplies or the quantity of materials, there hasn't been a significant increase or decrease in a short period of time.
And just when the Holy Church requested the overlord to head to the Chaos Coast, he created a Magic Fortress out of thin air … "
"What you mean is …"
Hearing until here, the military minister's expression turned increasingly ugly.
And looking at the military minister in front of him, Kavin nodded with a bitter smile and said.
"So, according to this pattern, I don't know what strange things that overlord will come up with if we really attack Passus this time …"
Facing Kavin's answer, the other two fell into silence.
Before Kavin mentioned it, they hadn't discovered it. But now that Kavin poked through the window paper, they immediately realized the problem.
Indeed, whether it was the Giant Dragon Legion or the Magic Fortress, they were related to the threat to Passus.
Everyone was well aware of the first attack by the Glittergold Empire.
The second time was regarding the defense of the Chaos Coast. Outsiders might not be able to understand what was going on, but as important ministers of the Holy Empire, Seth, they naturally knew that the Holy Church's original intention was to use this opportunity to suppress Zayen.
But they didn't expect …
At this thought, they couldn't help but worry.
This time, the Holy Empire's Seth's attack on Parsus wouldn't provoke that lord to come up with something strange again, right?
