Chapter 332: Hatar's Panic and the Rebellion of Kingdom Nobles

"This is the best news we've got!" Harof's tone was light as he spoke, confident that if Ella's magic lingered at its level from centuries ago, their combined strength could triumph over the opposition.

"Don't take it lightly, Harof!" Victorio cautioned.

Setting aside the true strength of Ella herself, dealing with just a church alone wouldn't be easy. After centuries of development, it had evolved into a formidable force.

On the surface alone, they would have to face at least five legendary-level opponents...

Lynn nodded. The divine projection before had exhibited a power that seemed to warp space, even slow down time—an ability that intrigued him immensely.

And that was just an avatar; he wondered how powerful Ella herself would be.

Discussions about the impending war continued for the entire morning. The council's response was swift, swiftly relaying the orders for war.

Over two hundred airships completed their assembly by evening, setting forth mightily towards the distant horizon...

Four ironclad ships docked at the Iyeta Harbor, drawing the attention of the townsfolk.

"War is upon us..." Mary murmured, gazing at the sky veiled by the airships and the colossal ironclad fleet, her heart laced with some worry.

For the townsfolk of Iyeta, peace had been a long-standing word. Yet, sailors from the Seccas Empire in the taverns often described the brutal scenes of lords attacking each other.

Mary could only silently hope that they would emerge victorious from this war.

But aboard the airships and ironclads, a different scene unfolded. The gunners previously dispatched to the kingdom boasted about easily defeating those armored knights, claiming no casualties throughout.

One lucky gunner even became a lord by killing some prince...

Others who gained merit in the war for the capital received substantial rewards.

Old York was no exception. His bravery in battle led him, along with Raydell and others, to seize the city gates, elevating his rank from a common soldier to a sergeant who could lead a squad, and he received ten magical coins as a reward.

For Old York, once a mere hunter two years ago, ten magical coins amounted to a fortune. He had never seen what a coin looked like before, but now, not only were they shiny, they were intricately engraved...

These coins could exchange for a mountain of wheat, enough to feed him for a good part of his life. But now, Old York had aspirations beyond mere sustenance. Apart from aiming for a higher officer rank, he wanted to buy a fancy alchemical engine and even send his child to a commoner's school, perhaps one day joining the Alchemy Association as an assistant to the wizards...

All these were things Old York had never dared to dream of before, now seemingly within easy reach.

Moreover, Iyeta recently established several factories, producing many intriguing novelties that greatly intrigued Old York.

Like a thing called an electric light, which illuminated the night as brightly as day, far superior to candles. It had become the new trend in Iyeta...

All of this required seizing on the battlefield, and Old York was confident in his marksmanship within seventy meters; he could hit his target without fail.

"This time, I need to be more vigilant, can't let those brats snatch the lead again..." Old York tightened his grip on the new-style firearm, muttering to himself.

During the previous citywide pursuit of that royal prince, Old York had the misfortune of encountering someone with far worse marksmanship than himself, who stole his credit. Otherwise, he would have been the one rewarded with vast lands.

...

The next day, at noon, within the grand hall of the Hadralata Kingdom's palace, nobles gathered, each silent like wooden figures.

But King Hatar was ablaze with fury, continuously cursing.

"These bastards... they deserve death..."

Three days prior, Hatar received news of the imperial army's invasion. Initially unconcerned, the kingdom's forces had already assembled to face this war.

However, the situation unfolded beyond his expectations!

The eastern border lords had all turned coat, showing no intention of resisting. In just three short days, they infiltrated deep into the kingdom's heart, swiftly seizing control of several cities.

Not only that, but the northern border lords also showed signs of defiance, some outright refusing the kingdom's summons.

How could Hatar not be furious? A hint of fear even crept into his heart.

Those nobles who professed loyalty to him had swiftly changed their tune, causing the initially estimated fifty-thousand-strong army meant to confront the empire to barely reach thirty thousand.

Most of them were hastily conscripted peasant soldiers lacking proper training.

Amid Hatar's frantic roars, loyal nobles like Gade showed concern, but many others watched, amused.

They scoffed at the notion of an independent war. Once the church's army arrived, all resistance would be futile! freewebnoveℓ.com

It was only because Hatar confined them within the capital that they had to comply.

In the next moment, the closed doors of the grand hall burst open, accompanied by a voice that the attendees both recognized and feared.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty Hatar. These are merely short-sighted lords. Once we crush the church's legions, we can deal with them accordingly."

"Lynn, Master Anthony, you've finally arrived." Hatar looked towards the door, pleasantly surprised.

Within the hall, the nobles, who had various schemes in mind, shivered upon seeing Lynn. Just over a month ago, they witnessed how he effortlessly manipulated celestial phenomena, annihilating thousands of kingdom guards. He even, in the presence of tens of thousands of townspeople in the capital, obliterated a god in its incarnate form...
