Kassand Kingdom

"Kassand Kingdom?"

"The situation in the south remains unchanged. If the empire does not intervene, I am afraid it will continue according to the original history."

Keosius sat on Iron Throne, thinking this way. At this moment, he was squinting his eyes, quietly waiting for the Kassand Kingdom's envoy to arrive, and at the same time recalling his past memories.

After all, he has the memory of his previous life, is familiar with the background of Erezege, and understands the general process of Great Collapse of the Holy Fadlan.

It is now only in the first stage of the great disintegration - "Three Emperors' War".

The so-called "Three Emperors" refer to Wilhelm of the Thrace Kingdom, Otis of the Kassand Kingdom and Felipe of the Seleucia Kingdom.

Aragon I once said this ten years ago, "Teotihuacan is the most dazzling gem in the empire's crown. Owning it means possessing imperial power."

As a result, the heirs of these three emperors started a protracted war, almost crazy, over the competition for "Sunlit City" Teotihuacan.

They all claim that they are the only successor of the old emperor, Holy Fadlan the future emperor.

After years of war, Teotihuacan was reduced to ruins, millions of people were buried here, and the former "Sunlit City" was reduced to a millstone of flesh and blood.

After experiencing this "Crimson Sunset War", Three Great Kingdoms was also severely weakened and was no longer able to control their territory. The divine nobles within the territory led their troops to become independent one after another, establishing one kingdom after another on the territory of the original Holy Fadlan Empire.

This is the second stage of Great Collapse of the Holy Fadlan and the longest lasting stage - Clash of Kings.

And Dragon Usurpation of Tiamat happened during this period.

"Clash of Kings."

Keosius thought so.

Now, Three Great Kingdoms, who has inherited almost all the legacy of the Holy Fadlan Empire, is still too powerful. Each of their kings controls Divine Descendant Legion, which is composed of dozens of legendary powerhouses - that is the legacy of "Sun Legion".

If the empire rashly launches a sneak attack, it will inevitably trigger Thrace Kingdom's all-out counterattack.

At that time, it was actually made a wedding dress for the already strongest Kassand Kingdom, giving them the opportunity to unify Fadlan.

This is something Keosius never wants to see.

"Tsk, tsk, at this stage, we still have to use diplomatic threats, blackmail and deception as the main means to get as much tangible benefits from Three Great Kingdoms as possible."

"At least. Get Katpa Hills south of Anzeta Corridor to gain a base for expansion to the mainland."

Keosius slowly opened his eyes, a greedy light shining from those pale golden pupils.

The voice of Tiefling Guard came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Kassand Kingdom's envoy has arrived outside the palace."

"Let them in."

With a rumbling sound, the heavy palace door slowly opened.

The envoys outside the door entered the palace under the guidance of the attendants. They were quite large, with hundreds of people. There were guards, officials, scholars and other people in the envoys. They also brought heavy, ornately decorated gold wooden boxes.

The leader looked to be in his thirties, wearing a bright long suit, a gold silk cotton burqa in three colors of yellow, red and orange, and a sunburst-shaped headdress on his head - this is Amanata Cleric's standard clothing.

Obviously, Kassand Kingdom attaches great importance to this mission. He not only intends to make friends with the Embers of the Burned Empire, but also reveals to them that "he is the orthodox Fadlan".

The leader Cleric took a step forward, bowed deeply and said, "See——"

His tone faltered, but he continued without leaving any trace, "Your Majesty the Emperor."

"I am the envoy of the Kassand Kingdom, Navin Bessarius. His Majesty Otis sent me to greet you and congratulate you on unifying Anzeta Great Wasteland and being crowned the emperor of the Embers of the Burned Empire."

"This is an insignificant gift, representing His Majesty Otis's personal friendship."

Naven raised his hand to signal, and several strong Fighter immediately moved the boxes over and opened the gold-rimmed lids one by one.

Suddenly, golden light filled the palace, and the boxes were filled with gold and jewelry.

Keosius smiled and praised, "As expected of the king who rules 'Land Blessed by the Sun God', he is really rich."

"Naven, thank His Majesty Otis for the gift for me. Please tell him that I am happy to be friends with such a generous human being."

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Naven bowed again, with a calm expression.

Several tall and strong Ogre came to the main hall, carried the heavy boxes on their shoulders, and moved them all away.

Keosius continued, "However, a monarch as ambitious as His Majesty Otis probably brings more than just personal friendship, right?"

"You - or Kassand Kingdom, do you have any request for the empire?"

Suddenly, Naven's face beamed with joy, and he hurriedly raised his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, your wisdom amazes me."

"Otis Your Majesty really wants to cooperate with the empire. He even wants to make a secret contract with you and become a close ally."

"Allies?"

"But as far as I know, the empire has never had any interaction with the Kassand Kingdom. There is no interest relationship, so how can we form an alliance?"

Keosius asked in a calm tone.

Naven stabilized his expression and said solemnly, "But Embers of the Burned Empire and Kassand Kingdom have a common enemy."

"What enemy?"

Keosius is still pretending not to know.

Naven hesitated for a moment, then firmly said the name: "Thrace Kingdom."

"You must know very well that if Embers of the Burned Empire wants to expand southward, Thrace Kingdom is the biggest obstacle in front of you."

"And if you cooperate with us, we can work with the Embers of the Burned Empire to destroy Thrace Kingdom."

Keosius did not agree or deny, but just smiled and said, "Everyone who knows me knows that I have always been a peace-loving monarch who puts the people first, so..."

His tone paused.

Naven sneered at these remarks in his heart.

A peace-loving Red Dragon who just destroyed a kingdom?

What a joke.

Although he thought so, he didn't show it and was still listening nervously to the next words.

Keosius stared condescendingly at Naven with golden pupils, and whispered, "If I cooperate with you - what can my Embers of the Burned Empire get?"

"Thrace two-thirds of the country."

"I promise you on behalf of His Majesty Otis that all the land north of the Radiant Mountain Range can be owned by the Embers of the Burned Empire, and Kassand Kingdom only needs the area south of the Thrace Kingdom."

Naven seemed to have prepared his words a long time ago and answered very fluently.

Moreover, his words sounded quite seductive, which made Dolo who was listening in the hall breathe a little faster.

But Keosius knows the true purpose of Otis.

To the south of the Radiant Mountain Range, in the "City of Sunrise" Auguste which is the capital of the Thrace Kingdom - there is a Sun God Pyramid.

Legend has it that the new emperor will occupy all the pyramids and hold sacred priestly ceremonies in all the pyramids at the same time on the summer solstice.

At that time, Sun God will once again bring down its endless mighty power, and the reborn god will once again continue the glory and glory of Holy Fadlan.

Otis probably doesn't want to make friends with the Embers of the Burned Empire, but thinks that Embers of the Burned Empire is simply vulnerable to the Kassand Kingdom, or Second Fadlan Empire, who has completed "Sun Halo" Sacrificial Ritual.

Those lost territories are only temporarily stored and can be taken back at any time, and Embers of the Burned Empire can even be destroyed easily.
