The streets were packed with pedestrians. Judging from the expressions of those passing by, their standard of living was far from poor.
In front of some buildings, groups of three or five men and women gathered together, discussing the corruption and incompetence of the officials of the Sera Empire. A squad of patrolling militia happened to pass by. Not only did they fail to reprimand the people, one drunken militiaman even joined in, loudly spouting off with alcohol on his breath.
Su Xiao had already experienced the extent of the Sera Empire's corruption while in prison. As the overlord of the Eastern Continent, the Sera Empire's power structure was rotten to this degree, yet it had not been overthrown. There had to be something unusual about it.
The Sera Empire was not only plagued by internal corruption. The Northern Alliance on the Northern Continent had also been at war with the Sera Empire for years.
When two behemoths went to war, the other small nations on the two continents naturally suffered. From 107 years ago, when the two countries first came into conflict, their naval war had continued for at least seventy years. Afterward, the Sera Empire could no longer withstand the pressure at the front and retreated to land. Fortunately, its land forces were strong enough to beat the Northern Alliance back.
Su Xiao looked at the medal in his hand. With this thing, he could be granted an official position in the Sera Empire. As for how much authority he might obtain, he had no expectations.
Su Xiao checked the mission list, and a prompt appeared.
