Chapter 1170: Seeing the Fatty Again
Two years ago, Prince Xanchua and Prince Gundogan of Ormond had been hostile towards Chambord, and the Xuan’ge of Ormond even once destroyed the ancient city wall of Chambord, causing the highest casualties in Chambord’s recent history.
That incident enraged Fei, and he killed many masters of Ormond who invaded Chambord and Zenit.
During this conflict, both parties suffered losses. Ormond lost two princes, more than ten Xuan’ge, and even Young Lord Reus died by Fei’s hand.
In comparison, Ormond suffered more losses, but it was Prince Xanchua who started everything. When tracing to the roots, Ormond was in the wrong.
Besides, the situation had completely changed. The once tiny Chambord Kingdom had come a mammoth on the continent. The Northern Region Empire was so powerful that even the Holy Church didn’t dare to fight it at will, let alone Ormond, an empire that only had the Capital City remaining.
To show his sincerity, Götze even tied up dozens of officials of Ormond who supported the hostility toward Chambord, and he brought them into the campsite. These people were all henchmen of Prince Xanchua and Prince Gundogan.
Valkyrie Elena appeared and accepted Götze’s apology.
Götze was a friend to people like Shaarawy and Cassano, and he wasn’t involved in the war with the Chambord Kingdom. Now that the perpetrators were already punished, the situation was different now.
Also, the Northern Region Empire didn’t want to give others the image of a force that held grudges for a long time and didn’t understand others. Therefore, the grudge between Chambord and Ormond was officially over.
This incident attracted the attention of everyone in the city.
Now, the newest information about the Human Emperor of the North and the Queen of the North Region Empire got spread around the City of Iduna under some people’s purposeful push, and the track record that Elena had against the goblins drew a lot of attention.
All the forces in Iduna realized the power of the troop of the Northern Region Empire.
For a moment, many people talked about the Northern Region Empire in Iduna, and people were proud if they were able to chat with a person from the Northern Region and if they had been to the Northern Region.
At the same time, the Northern Region Empire announced that it was sending a mage group to the City of Iduna to repair and strengthen the magic defense system.
Such actions instantly increased the affinity and fondness that the City of Iduna had towards the Northern Region Empire. At least the people at the bottom of the social ladder praised and thanked the Northern Region Empire.
On the third day, the temporary reinforcement group of the Northern Region Empire that set off from the Leon Military District, the military district of the Northern Region Empire that was the most southern, had arrived at the City of Iduna.
Princess Victoria, one of the influential finance ministers of the Northern Region Empire, led the team, and Milito and Palacio were the guards. This secret transport team formed by pure masters brought many magic storage items that the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory had made, each containing a ton of supplies.
At Fei’s secret instruction, the troop of the Northern Region Empire set up charitable porridge kitchens around the campsite, which was common to see in ancient China when there were a ton of refugees, providing basic porridges to the refugees at certain times during the day.
After Fei set the overarching strategy, the advisors of the expeditionary troop use their wits and came up with many tactics to win over local people’s hearts, slowly infiltrating the various classes and forces.
The Ormond Empire turned a blind eye to this.
In fact, after the various empires rushed into the City of Iduna due to the loss of their territories, and Ormond’s wealth and resources were greatly consumed by the war against the goblins, Ormond had already started to lose its grasp of the city about a month ago.
Various forces existed in the city, forming a few giant groups that fought each other in secret even though everything seemed peaceful on the surface.
Now, only Allianz and Iduna were the two human cities remaining in the Southern Region of Azeroth.
Ormond had lost more than 99 percent of its territory, and it was equivalent to being conquered.
Now that a huge number of its citizens lost their lives in this war, Ormond couldn’t get back to its former level from a few years ago. It seemed to be a better decision to copy the last troop of the two super empires in the Central Region and side with the Northern Region Empire.
Also, only the Northern Region Empire had the power and the ability to deliver food and other resources into the Southern Region from other places. Essentially, Fei had his hands on the throat of the various forces in Ormond.
Under the cooperation of the Letter Office that had placed intelligence workers in the City of Iduna and advisors and military officers of the Northern Region Empire, the Northern Region Empire was now slowly taking control of Iduna in secret.
Of course, not all forces in Iduna favored the Northern Region Empire.
Since the Letter Office had been operating in this city, the Holy Church started doing work in the city long ago as well. Under the influence of the intelligence workers of the Holy Church, some forces sided with the Holy Church and went against the Northern Region Empire in private and public.
…
On this day, Fei returned from the Ruhr Mountain Range. Then, he left the campsite of the expeditionary troop secretly with Jean, Tanya, and Victoria, the three beautiful girls.
The group of four wandered in the city.
Now, Victoria wasn’t the fallen princess anymore. As a finance minister of the Northern Region Empire that was on the rise, she was an influential figure who could make the continent shake with her stomps.
Since it was rare for Victoria to be able to take time off and wander around, she was in a good mood right now.
Victoria slightly dressed up. She was in a simple white dress and didn’t put on any makeup, making her appear more friendly instead of being dominant. She was a beautiful girl, and people who saw her felt like their eyes brightened.
“I finally came back to the Southern Region,” Victoria sighed, feeling sentimental while walking on the streets of Iduna.
“Sister Victoria, is your hometown in the Southern Region?” The curious Jean asked.
Victoria lightly nodded and didn’t say anything more.
This woman was sensitive to numbers and was talented at managing money, but she seemed lacking in other areas and was careless.
Seeing this woman looking sentimental, Fei slightly nodded and thought, “The Letter Office tried to investigate into her background. However, except for the fact that she is from the Southern Region, no more useful information was collected. Now, it seems like those pieces of information weren’t wrong.”
The emperor took her out today to let her relax a bit on her home soil. Ever since she came to Iduna, she was busy managing the flow of food supplies day and night. It was good for her to get some rest.
[TL Note: Now that Fei is the Emperor of the Northern Region Empire, the author started to address him as ‘the emperor’ instead of ‘the king’ in some places.]
The good thing was that Victoria was known for her carelessness. After being sentimental for a few seconds, she appeared wild. While dragging the two female rogues who were also careless, they dashed through the crowds and looked around casually.
Fei shook his head and thought, “It seems like I thought too much. For this woman who seems to be a single-cell organism, she wouldn’t be sad for more than three seconds.”
“It is you? This damn b*tch! You finally appeared…” Suddenly, a series of vicious shouts sounded from the side.
Fatty Elton whom Fei and the female rogues encountered a few days ago dashed out of the crowd with a vicious grin on his face. With more than a dozen fully-armored warriors, they surrounded Fei and the three girls.
The fatty stared at Jean with viciousness in his eyes; it seemed like he wanted to strip this female rogue n*ked and shame her in public.
