Chapter 976: Movement of the empire (3)
This time, I slightly knitted my brows.
After all, this was not something that I knew.
I only knew about the Holy Empire moving during this time, so I actually didn't know anything about the other three empires moving. After all, it was only the Holy Empire that was introduced.
Even if one could become a noble at this point in the game, one would never be high enough to receive information about the other three empires.
So it just wasn't information that was available in the game.
After a moment of silence, I gave a nod to the prime minister, as if telling him to give me the information.
The prime minister put away a few pieces of paper before pushing the rest of them towards
me.
I looked down at them, but there really was just too much detail that it made my brain spin trying to read it all. After looking at it for a bit, I looked at him to say, "Just give me the summary."
The prime minister nodded before taking these back and handing over a few maps instead. Looking down at these maps, I waited for him to give his explanation.
The marks on the maps were where the troops of the various empires had been seen.
It seemed like they were also moving to take in refugees so that the Holy Empire couldn't take them all, but they couldn't move as openly as the Holy Empire. The Holy Empire had the umbrella of religion to move under, the other empires couldn't just take people without causing conflict.
After all, abducting people from their kingdoms would be hard to explain no matter what excuse they gave.
Even if it was in the name of taking in refugees.
So the only thing that they could do was send out troops to areas around them to help those countries.
The excuse that they gave was that they were preventing the monsters from reaching their own territories. They would be sending out troops to quell the monsters in the surrounding area and helping those afflicted by the monster waves.
Namely, they would be taking refugees back to their territory.
So that was how they were making their move.
"Hmm, it doesn't seem like they're encroaching on our territory. The only one that seems to be approaching us is the Holy Empire..." I said in a thoughtful voice while stroking my chin and looking down at the map in front of me.
The prime minister nodded, but then he said, "Still, we have to watch over them."
The way that he suddenly fell silent and the look on his face, it was as if he was hesitating over something.
I looked at him and said with a nod, "You can say what you want to say."
The prime minister revealed a slightly bitter smile, but he still said in the end, "It's the Tide Empire, they were the ones that moved first."
I slightly knitted my brows hearing this as I didn't understand what he meant by this at first, but then I started to understand what he meant.
Simply put, he was saying that this might be related to us.
Or rather, it was related to our actions with the Merman Empire.
The Tide Empire might be acting because of what we had done with the Merman Empire. They might be acting because we had interfered with their engagement with the Merman Empire.
After thinking about it, I slowly shook my head to show that I didn't know.
I really didn't know anything about this since this wasn't something that was mentioned in the game.
It was unknown what the other three empires had been doing during this time period in the game since it had never been mentioned in the game. Or even if it was, it wasn't information that the player would be able to access.
So I honestly had no way of confirming or denying this.
The prime minister knitted his brows when he saw this, but then he just gave a simple nod before starting to point out a few more things.
It seemed that it wasn't just the empires that were acting, but also the other human kingdoms.
Even if there were four empires that were at the peak of human society, that didn't mean that there weren't other kingdoms that could also act. There were other kingdoms that had power that were only second to the empires.
They were kingdoms that could also rule over other kingdoms, but they were still weaker than the empires. They were only strong enough that if five of them worked together, they would be able to take down a single empire.
But there were only ten of these kingdoms in the first place.
The human race was one where strife between different groups was common. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
There were many humans and there were all kinds of personalities.
There were greedy humans just as there were kind humans and those greedy humans sat at the peak of humanity.
So it was only inevitable that they would want more.
However, it didn't seem like any of them were planning on messing with us.
The wyverns that we owned were a large threat to most other kingdoms, so there was no reason for them to offend us. Most of them weren't willing to fight us unless they had no other choice.
It was only the empires that had enough power to ignore the wyverns that we controlled.
"Is there a way for us to get some refugees as well?"
I suddenly asked the prime minister.
At this, he revealed a faint smile before saying, "Well, the kingdoms around us have quite a few people that are escaping. If they were to come to our borders, we have no reason to deny
them."
I understood the power that came with population, so for us to get some refugees was also a good idea.
It seemed like the prime minister also understood this and since he said that he was already taking care of it, there was nothing for me to worry about.
