Pacification

Royal palace, treasure vault, secret chamber.

"Thaumaturgy Card - Black Fog!"

Sulu flipped through a card in his hand that was still burning hot. "Besides summoning a Black Fog Monster to serve me, it can also possess me, allowing me to control an elemental Avatar and comprehend some dark magic-like abilities..."

He glanced at the Attribute Panel again.

Although his blinking ability was improved, the scattered gains from this battle actually increased his experience points, which have now reached 7900.

"We're one step closer to becoming a legend."

Sulu left the secret chamber and found Messiah.

The palace was found to be in complete chaos.

Messiah, relying on his loyal knights, has only occupied a small area and is still fighting against the rebel forces.

The enemy outnumbered them by more than ten times, but fortunately, due to the death of their leader, they were now in a state of panic.

He didn't hold back, charging out and killing several nobles who led the troops, causing the Southern Army to retreat from the palace in disarray.

Soon after, intelligence from all sides was relayed over.

"The Southern Army is retreating... no, it's fleeing in disarray!"

"Silver Eye has taken control of Duke Bard and is arriving with the West Territory army, which should stabilize the situation in the Royal Capital..."

"In Lordship Territory, Laf and Yorn are traitors, and have already died under a curse..."

"In summary, after today's battle, most of the ambitious and scheming individuals on this continent are dead. We can now slowly clean up the mess!"

Sulu patted Messiah's head beside him. "The rest is up to Your Queen."

"Teacher, I promise I won't let you down."

Messiah arrived at the square and, still shaken by the sight of the horrific crater left by the explosion, asked, "The Grand Duke of Black Castle, was he killed in the explosion?"

"No... he died an even more humiliating death!"

Sulu stroked his chin.

It's obvious that the leader of this most powerful school must possess some powerful Curio or other secret techniques.

But Sulu didn't confront him directly. Instead, after an explosion, he dragged his Mind Secret Realm into the Dream Spirit World and ended the battle on his most familiar battlefield.

In the Dream Spirit World, Eamon, who has mutated into a monster, is already in a state of madness. Not to mention that some Curio cannot be brought into the Dream Spirit World, even if they could, he would probably have forgotten them completely long ago.

That would make it easier to collect corpses after the Sulu war.

Waaah!

Just then, the sound of horns came from outside the city.

The West Territory army, controlled by Silver Eye and others, has finally arrived in Dragon City!

With most of the southern defenders abandoning the city and fleeing, they easily entered the city and began to suppress order.

"With only a few thousand men, they probably wouldn't even be able to suppress the Royal Territory, let alone march north for revenge or south to wipe out the Black Fortress army..."

Sulu felt that her student's path to Queen was still a long and arduous one.

Several days later.

The Throne Hall.

The Messiah, dressed in his finest attire and wearing a small crown, gazed upon the crowd below. "My friends, thank you for everything you have done for the kingdom. Your loyalty and courage will surely be rewarded!"

She gave a slight gesture, and a scholar beside her immediately unfurled the imperial edict and loudly announced several appointments.

First, the knights who had rendered meritorious service were rewarded.

The royal knights who followed received their original fiefs, and each received additional fiefs; some Wandering Knight also became lords.

As for Sulu, he received Edward's former Violet Territory, and his title was immediately elevated to Viscount.

This is extremely rare in kingdoms with rigid systems, and only occurs during times of war.

A viscount is already an absolute local power, with the authority and financial resources to form his own knightly order, not to mention that his fief is so close to the Royal Territory, located on the rich and fertile Golden Plain.

However, Sulu had already decided that he would pass the title to Ham upon returning; he was no longer interested in being the ' Viscount Violet '.

After the rewards were bestowed, there were naturally also punishments.

A group of nobles who had served the north and south were reprimanded and punished, and their territories were reduced in the process, otherwise they would not have been able to raise enough fiefdoms to reward their meritorious officials.

The most unfortunate one is Grand Duke Drake, a young man whose ambitions are completely mismatched with his age, and who is destined to be a guest in Dragon City for a long time.

Through his captives, the entire West Territory will submit to the Queen's throne.

"However, that's just how it is..."

Sulu stood behind the stone pillar on the second floor, looking down at the medieval meeting below, and found it very interesting.

"The kingdom can be roughly divided into five parts. At this time, the Queen only barely controls the Royal Territory and the West Territory. She is mortal enemies to the north and south, and the Eastern Archipelago are also struggling to hold out..."

"Next, just quelling the rebels in the south will be enough to give the Queen a headache, since the Southern Army has only lost its leader and its strength has not been greatly diminished..."

"Besides, if the Queen wants revenge, she must also drive thousands, even tens of thousands, of Soldier from warmer regions into the icy wilderness of the north to engage in a chaotic battle with the powerful northerners..."

"Tsk tsk... Relying solely on Messiah's strength, it would probably take more than a decade to quell this chaos, and there's even the risk of it being repeated..."

"However, this is none of my business. I'm just her teacher, not her father!"

Months later, bad news kept coming in.

The North refuses to recognize the Queen. Sith, the second son of Grand Duke Frank and brother of Gran, has already ascended the throne at Wolf Castle and declared himself King of the North!

The rebels in the south were more numerous but also more chaotic. It seemed that the deaths of Eamon and Lucas left the Black Ring School without successors, and with everyone refusing to submit to each other, a split was inevitable.

The result was that the rebels each occupied a territory and fought each other.

The Eastern Archipelago did express their submission to Her Majesty the Queen, but their envoys stated that their fleet had suffered heavy losses and they could not offer any assistance to the Queen. Instead, they requested that the Queen provide 'relief' to the islands!

Violet Territory.

After passing the title to Ham and choosing this place as yet another stronghold for the Arrogant School, Sulu, now unburdened, hid in the castle, studying the items seized from the Black Ring School.

This school of thought truly deserves its reputation as the strongest school of Wizard. Not only is its own research top-notch, but it has also acquired a great deal of cutting-edge knowledge by excavating ruins and absorbing other schools of thought.

In particular, some experimental data on enhancing physical fitness gave Sulu hope of improving his strength and physique!

Inside the underground laboratory.

This underground space is vast, and after Sulu's modifications, it has been transformed into a huge laboratory.

A strong stench of blood permeated the entire space, with a massive pool of blood at its very center.

Dragon Crystal were placed at the four corners of the blood pool and in the center of the ritual array!

This is all that Sulu gained after his trip to the south, raiding the Black Ring School's stronghold, traveling to the Eastern Archipelago, and 'visiting' two major schools of thought.

The things we paid for this are not worth mentioning.
