Chapter 809 - 369: The Undead and the Goddess of Vengeance (2)
Therefore, Callie must revive within the bloodline of an emperor once recognized by this world, devouring their soul to deceive the world rules.
Prince Jin Chui’s bloodline can only be said to be related to the emperor, but it is not pure.
So even though Callie is now just a wisp of divine soul without a divinity, she still suffers punishment and suppression as long as she uses power.
Callie must create countless undead, using their energy to help suppress the world rules.
Actually, Lomisa’s original target was Atrey, her bloodline is more pure.
But after being cursed and suffering backlash, she doesn’t dare to face the Legendary Knight.
In the end, Lomisa chose the collateral Prince Jin Chui.
Lomisa did not deceive Prince Jin Chui, he indeed gained powerful strength.
But he also paid the price of his soul.
"I’m sorry, my lord, your servant is incompetent!" Lomisa bowed his head even deeper.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Prince Jin Chui, who was Callie, asked, "How are the surrounding duchies faring?"
"Everything is arranged, the ghoul plague can be triggered anytime."
Lomisa respectfully reported, "The redwood kingdom and the golden lion kingdom’s royalty adjacent to the Broken Rock Empire’s border have been infiltrated, ready to control their armies to launch an attack on the Broken Rock Empire."
"No rush, that Luo De is not easy to deal with."
Callie’s voice was cold, "Even the Dawn Church fell into his hands, we must be more cautious."
"I need more time to regain strength, those heretics of the Holy Council need more time to refine."
After listening, Lomisa hesitantly said, "But, my lord, I think Luo De won’t give us time..."
"I am naturally aware, once news here spreads, that Luo De definitely won’t stand by and do nothing."
Callie’s face showed a smile.
But the voice paired with her smile looked grim and terrifying.
"That Luo De will publicize our terror, unite all humanity against us."
Callie turned to look down at Lomisa, "When that time comes, you can destroy those kings’ souls, control their bodies, and let them stab Luo De in the back."
"Yes, my lord."
Lomisa wasn’t foolish either, he thought about this as well.
However, Lomisa felt this strategy couldn’t succeed, someone like Luo De couldn’t help but act cautiously.
But even if Luo De sees through it, it doesn’t matter; the result would be the battle breaks out first, and the Redwood Kingdom and Golden Lion Kingdom will still consume Luo De’s troops.
Lomisa didn’t say this.
After all, if Lomisa knew everything, then he wouldn’t highlight the wisdom of his master.
"Alright, this royal city is almost done."
Callie’s figure slowly floated up, "Go to nearby villages, head to the next city."
...
...
"This is the situation of those countries in the Western Alliance."
In the Flame Dragon City’s palace chamber, the long table was surrounded by people, and almost all the Empire’s key personnel were present.
The lynx man Vika simply described the intelligence sent back from the front, adding, "The specific situation is in the files in your hands."
Vika is now the head of the Empire’s intelligence department; intelligence is gathered to Vika for him to report.
Luo De arranged this intentionally to protect Vika because becoming a supervisor means he doesn’t always need to charge in the front, giving him more time to train.
It’s not just Vika, Luo De tries to protect anyone capable.
The Empire needs these people and cannot let them recklessly charge ahead anymore.
"It’s too tragic, we can’t let the ghoul plague happen here."
Atrey took a deep breath, turned to look at Luo De, her eyes carrying concern and pleading, "Your Majesty, we must stop this."
"You don’t need to worry about this; I have already arranged everything in various places."
Luo De’s expression was calm.
Luo De naturally knows the terror of the ghoul plague, the Night Language Association is always vigilant.
Not just the ghoul plague, all poisons and diseases related to the undead are terrifying.
Hence, the Empire is openly and covertly guarding against these.
"Lusen is also prepared for the response."
Luo De looked to Lusen on the other side.
Lusen respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"We will regularly check food and water sources."
"Specially crafted Undead Dispersal Potions are ready, any undead discovered will be cleared immediately."
Lusen firmly guaranteed.
Now, some remote villages of Flame Dragon Empire are converging towards towns; even if a Necromancer wants to target a remote village, it would be difficult.
Luo De slightly nodded, his gaze falling on the crowd.
"Next, our most important task is to clear out those ghouls."
"Judging from the countries where the ghoul plague occurred, they are all remote, far from us."
Durant looked at the map on the table,
"If we dispatch troops into the Western Alliance, we still have to traverse the lands of the Redwood Kingdom and Golden Lion Kingdom."
Durant raised his head and slightly shook it, "I don’t think they’ll easily let us pass."
Others also nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, we can negotiate with them."
Chris said from the side, "The undead are enemies of all humans."
"As members within the Western Alliance, I think those kings are now more fearful."
Chris looked at Luo De, "I believe they should be willing to send troops to join us in destroying those ghouls."
"At this time, we should unite everyone, you’re right Chris."
Luo De slightly nodded, then changed the subject, "But I want to hear others’ thoughts."
Luo De’s gaze swept across the crowd, seemingly hinting.
Prophet Bai Shuang, sitting at the end, cautiously raised his head.
Prophet Bai Shuang’s Purifying Flame can also clear undead energy; his participation is equally needed in this war.
"Saint Master, at this moment, we should best not trust other countries." Prophet Bai Shuang said.
Luo De slightly nodded, "Hmm, continue."
"Those Necromancers have been in the Western Alliance for long, the Redwood Kingdom and Golden Lion Kingdom might be colluding with them."
Prophet Bai Shuang speculated, "They might attack us at an uncertain time."
"Makes sense, indeed we need to guard." Durant nodded in agreement with a furrowed brow.
"Intelligence shows no traces of the Healing Church and the Eternal Life Church in those kingdoms."
Vika flipped through the report in his hand, looked up and reported, "It’s probably okay."
"This just proves the issue, I believe."
Prophet Bai Shuang looked at Vika, "Other places suffered the ghoul plague, yet they remain tranquil without any reaction."
"Why is this?"
Prophet Bai Shuang asked himself and answered, "Possibly to set a trap for us."
Vika nodded, "You’re right, I can’t prove it’s not a trap."
Then, Leon, the former Commander, spoke from the table end, "Even if it’s not a trap, we must cautiously treat the coalition."
All eyes focused on Leon, Leon straightened his back.
"Interests of the coalition can’t always coincide; we must consider that they may have other intentions."
"A military always needs a single commander-in-chief."
Leon earnestly suggested, "Your Majesty, it’s best for you to lead everything."
"But ideally, we should avoid conflict."
Atrey spoke again, "Those ghouls are too numerous; according to previous intelligence, they approximate around six to seven hundred thousand."
Even ghouls formed from old and young women are still monsters.
So Atrey’s statement is still a conservative estimate.
If fewer ghouls died in chaos, reaching a million is not impossible.
"Your Majesty, if possible, we must unite with the surviving kingdoms of the Western Alliance."
Luo De didn’t speak, his gaze slowly swept over everyone.
"Very well, you all have valid points."
Despite the alarming number of ghouls, Luo De remains pleased.
Luo De deliberately didn’t speak.
After the last Empire meeting, Luo De found that once he spoke, others were hesitant to express their views.
This isn’t necessarily beneficial for an emperor.
Therefore, this time Luo De chose not to speak, not to express opinions, nor to approve or oppose anyone’s viewpoint.
When faced with enemy plans, his subordinates could discuss and reach a conclusion.
"What you said is precisely what I want."
Luo De smiled and stood up, "Lusen and Vika stay, everyone else, dispatch troops, and gather at the Southwest Border."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The legion commanders simultaneously rose and responded in unison, exiting the chamber one after another.
Once the guard closed the door, Luo De looked at Lusen and Vika,
"Just as Chris and Atrey mentioned, we must avoid internal strife and depleting the military."
Luo De solemnly looked at the two, "So we must keep those kings firmly under control."
