"I have decided to adopt a two-pronged approach. I accept both of your suggestions. Regarding the attack on the northern continent, I will follow the strategy outlined by Malcador."
"As for the problem of the evil spirit, you don't need to worry. I will send the dragon knight to deal with it alone. Alright, everyone, proceed according to the plan."
When the people below heard this, they bowed and watched Martin leave.
They retreated in an orderly manner only after Martin disappeared.
On this day, the entire empire began to operate efficiently like a huge precision machine.
The nobles, like sharp sharks smelling blood, instantly became active and began to assemble their own knights.
After all, in their eyes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and expanding territory is just around the corner.
According to intelligence, the target of this attack is the Northern Continent, which makes the nobles from all over the country so excited that they can't even imagine it, as if the fiefdom is right ahead and within their grasp.
As a result, the nobles in the empire were ready to take action quickly.
Soon, the news reached Martin's ears. Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Martin couldn't help but feel a little amused and sad, and secretly sighed that these nobles were really ignorant and fearless.
However, since they are so eager to join, let's grant their wish.
Afterwards, an "edict" was issued from the imperial palace: all nobles in the empire, whether free nobles or landed nobles, could form a knightly order and follow the imperial legion to the northern continent to establish military merit.
But there is a restriction: the number of knightly orders cannot exceed one hundred.
Once this decree was announced, the entire empire was shocked.
There is no doubt that all the nobles of the Dragon Ridge Empire are aware that this is undoubtedly an excellent operation to gain military merit.
However, the number of places in the one hundred knight orders is really limited, so everyone can only fight for it based on their own abilities.
Just as the Dragon Spine Empire was busy preparing for various affairs and the entire state machinery was running at full capacity, the situation in a mysterious secret place in the far northern continent was quietly changing.
The clone of the goddess of death and the lich Char were transferred here by Perron, however, the evil spirit was not brought here together, and it still remained in the secret realm of the sky city.
At this time, Queen Catherine was also in this secret place in the northern continent.
She stared at the incarnation of the goddess of death and the lich Char with burning eyes, as if she was looking at rare treasures.
Immediately, she couldn't wait to order the incarnation of the goddess of death to start producing evil spirits.
Unfortunately, due to the constraints of the plane contract, the clone of the Goddess of Death only obeys the orders of the elders of the Sky City and is impossible to pay attention to Queen Catherine.
Queen Catherine was extremely anxious. At this moment, Perron's whereabouts were unknown, and Vice President Percy's communication crystal had no response. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
But deep down in her heart, she didn't want to think about the worst. After all, she had already paid too much, the dedication of the people of the empire, and even her own body. She would never allow herself to fail, and she could not lose no matter what.
So she hurried out of the secret realm and, under the guidance of a lower god of the empire, rushed to the sky city.
But when they arrived at the gate of the sky city, the guardian knight refused to let them in.
Although Queen Catherine tried her best to explain her relationship with Perron, the Guardian Knight remained unmoved.
There was really no other way, Queen Catherine could only helplessly let the lower gods take her away.
At this time, she did not know that a brutal bloodbath had already begun within the Continental Parliament.
All the elders, knights of the Punishment Hall, maids, and so on, anyone who had any connection with the Crown Princes, were not spared and were all executed.
The sky city was filled with a strong smell of blood, like a hell on earth.
Such bloody scenes were not only taking place in the Sky City, but broke out simultaneously in every corner of the continent.
Mercenary guilds, magician guilds, intelligence organizations, etc., have all suffered varying degrees of purges.
Many people lost their lives before they even understood what was going on.
Some people who knew the inside story and had connections with several of His Majesties began to flee.
However, the Continental Congress controls a vast intelligence network across the entire plane, so it is not difficult to track down these people.
For a time, fierce fighting broke out everywhere.
Martin had previously received news from President Pro. Faced with the current chaotic situation, he ordered the legions stationed in various places to only maintain order and not to participate in the fight.
In his opinion, it doesn't make much difference to him which side wins in the end.
After both sides have finished fighting and the personnel have evacuated, they will come forward to clean up the mess.
Queen Catherine returned to the palace full of worry and headed straight for the treasury.
She was extremely anxious and wanted to find a loophole so that she could temporarily control the clone of the goddess of death and the lich Char.
She searched the treasury for a long time, her eyes eagerly scanning one treasure after another, but she still couldn't find what she wanted.
Just when she was almost in despair, she accidentally discovered the ancient array that opened the plane channel.
She stared at the magic circle in her hand, her heart in a fierce struggle. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and put the ancient array into the space ring.
Then, she hurried out of the treasure house and headed towards the mysterious secret place again.
As soon as she entered the secret realm, she saw the incarnation of the Goddess of Death continuously producing lower-level gods and evil spirits, and a trace of uncontrollable heat suddenly flashed in her eyes.
But the cruel reality is that she has no way of controlling these evil spirits.
After thinking for a moment, she pretended to be calm as she walked forward and said to the incarnation of the goddess of death, "Her Majesty Perron is away on business and has specifically instructed me to provide you with 'food'. Therefore, from now on, you must obey my orders."
However, the incarnation of the goddess of death ignored her words, as if she was just air, and continued to send the evil spirit away.
Queen Catherine didn't understand what these evil gods were going to do at first, until her subordinates came rushing to report, she suddenly realized that these evil gods were going to "hunt" humans and collect materials to refine curses.
She watched helplessly as the evil gods returned with bottles of black potion in their hands, and her face became extremely ugly.
She knew very well that if this uncontrolled situation continued, it would lead to an even greater disaster.
So, without saying a word, she immediately walked out of the secret realm and used the secret realm key in her hand to completely seal the secret realm.
