The war came to an abrupt end... This was a ridiculous and illogical situation; the two sides hadn't even engaged in any peace talks, nor had they made any explicit exchange of benefits. The war simply ceased naturally.
The duchy tentatively withdrew its troops, but the empire did not advance.
On the surface, both sides suffered heavy losses in this war... The nobles of the empire betrayed the country one after another due to the changes, and the loss and death of officials and common people were countless.
The Duchy, on the other hand, completely lost the remnants of the Duchy of Caesar within its borders, directly losing a faction with considerable strength.
But in reality, both sides made a killing, and only ordinary people were hurt.
...
As for ordinary people... here specifically refers to ordinary people who do not have extraordinary blood in their bodies and have no chance to become professionals. Their value is very small, so it is equivalent to no loss at all.
This is the tragedy of the extraordinary world.
However, during this period, almost everyone and every nation knew that... a major event had occurred in the Demon King's territory, even surpassing the current abnormal "coldness," and was placed at the forefront of everything else.
They arrived in the prime material plane... and then, a celestial paladin and a blood lord died.
He died at the hands of Yimra.
This is not information that can be hidden, so now... almost every country with good information has learned about this, and almost everyone in the know understands what it means.
On one hand, Yinla has now definitively confirmed her status as the "strongest in the world," and on the other hand... the status of the Demon King's territory has also risen accordingly, something Mu Rong can't deny.
Now, when Yoon-ra goes out, there will never be a situation like before where people know that Yoon-ra exists, but can't match her face with her name.
Now, he's truly become a superstar...
In the past, Yinla's dream would have been a sure thing, and the future would almost certainly become what Yinla wanted. But not now... Every country is struggling to survive.
Extreme cold is indeed a disaster capable of destroying the world.
...
"Will we have no harvest in the fall?"
Although she was discussing state affairs with Marilla, Isabella's mind was clearly elsewhere; she was simply gazing out the window, lost in thought... Everyone knew what she was pondering.
(Yoonra: What? You're thinking about me?)
"If the cold continues, that outcome will be difficult to avoid... Your Highness?"
At Marilla's reminder, Isabella turned her head, pretending nothing had happened, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I understand. To avoid the influence of public opinion, we can only let more civilians sacrifice themselves... Phew~ Is that so?"
"..."
Marilla: "..."
Admittedly, this is indeed a method, but it is undoubtedly the worst possible solution... Moreover, isn't it a bit too cruel? How did the patriarch teach His Highness?
However, judging from His Highness's mischievous smile... he was probably just joking.
Marilla shook her head as she thought this, and said very simply, "We've already figured out what to do about this... to do the best we can, and to acknowledge the necessary sacrifices."
As she said this, Marilla paused, because she suddenly realized that what Isabella had just said was similar to the answers that everyone had discussed for a long time.
Having figured this out, Marilla looked at Isabella with some surprise, then quickly regained her composure... Yes, when it comes to cruelty, perhaps everyone is the same.
They were all Yinla's students; mocking who was more cruel was just a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Of course, rather than being "cruel" or "brutal," it's more accurate to describe it as "calm" and "serene." When it's impossible to do better, one must accept the powerlessness of the past and focus on the future.
"The Yairmenio Theyatos family, the Palada family, the Goodwin family, and other families are all willing to make their efforts in the face of the current disaster... but we cannot yet be sure of the results."
Marilla reported that the Yaylmenio Theyatos family was an old-established mage family, and every member was a genius-level magic master, but... not everyone had mastered the legendary spells of the [crop] type.
Moreover, their mana reserves are always quite worrying.
The Palada family is a traditional alchemical family... their loyalty to the empire is questionable, and they all seem rather abnormal, regardless of gender, with a particular fondness for young boys.
The popular song "Hehehe~ Lady Yinla~ Little~ Fragrant~" originated from the Parada family, who developed the "glasses". Grella Genesis Parada is the most outstanding member of the family.
The Goodwin family... is mainly rich.
Other families, to varying degrees, were also able to prove useful. This was the benefit of Caligula's faction being completely eliminated; otherwise... the Empire's response would never have been so swift, and the process of rescuing from the disaster would have been far more sluggish and difficult.
"After Lord Yinla left the Empire, disasters followed one after another... First, the rampage of monsters, and now this cold... *sniffles*"
As she spoke, Yi Shabella sniffed and wrapped her thick, warm fleece around herself, saying, "I wonder how Minister Yin La is doing now. After killing Lunwai, was he injured or anything?"
