CHAPTER XV
In the year 4572 of the Magnolia calendar, this was a treacherous year in the history of the Puang Empire.
In May of this year, in Fort Mermaid, the lord of the Kuril Province at the southernmost tip of the Puang Empire, the new Duke of Gasquel, who took office last year, married a pair of daughters of the previous duke and officially took over the power of the lord.
At the beginning of June, a battle broke out at the Sanctuary level in the Sunset Mountain Range, and the power spread caused an earthquake of no small scale.
In mid-June, the royal Sistan family announced the relocation of the imperial capital, the original imperial capital Nidal as the accompanying capital, and the new capital was established in the provincial capital of Sunset Province 'Sunset City', although this news was opposed by many ministers, civil officials and nobles, but it was still resolutely implemented.
In mid-July, the Northland Province and the Red Earth Province began to spread the word that 'darkness will eventually cover the earth, the imperial power will decline, and the kingdom of God on earth will be established!' Rumors like that.
The Grand Duke of the Northland and the Grand Duke of the Red Earth sent the lord's army to suppress it, but they were defeated by the legions of the Dark See, and the elite legion of the Empire, the Snow Monster Legion, intervened, but was attacked by the Knights of the Judgment of the Dark Curia.
There were also traitors within the Snow Monster army and they were defeated. And the Dark Holy See bared its fangs and occupied the three major northern provinces.
In late July, a battle broke out at the level of the Sanctuary in the Red Earth Province, and five Sanctuaries joined the battle. In the end, the original Red Archduke Turner Spencer fell, and the patriarch of the Duke of Northland's family, Quake Warner, successfully retreated.
The Dark Holy See officially declared its independence, established a dark alliance, and absorbed the powerful from all sides.
On the third day of the establishment of the Dark Alliance, the Holy See of Light broke out with even more terrifying strength, sending troops to occupy the southern province of Diland, the central province of Baihe, and the southeastern province, and at the same time announced the establishment of the Light Alliance.
In late August, the Patriarch of the Earth Temple, who actually controlled the central provinces, and the Emperor Percy Sistan jointly announced that the Earth Temple and the Imperial Family would advance and retreat together, and that the Earth Temple would forever be the state religion of the Puon Empire.
In early September, Elder Fergus, the Earth Temple's Sanctuary powerhouse, was assassinated, and a special dagger took the life of the Sanctuary powerhouse.
In mid-November, the three dukes of the central part of the empire announced their alliance, and all three dukes' families moved into the provinces of Gesar and Manda. Although in the announcement speech, he declared that he was still loyal to the imperial family, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the three major ducal families were already equivalent to self-reliance.
Since then, the strength of the Puon Empire has been shuffled. The original division of power in the empire was led by the imperial family, and directly controlled the three major provinces, and at the same time divided the ten major dukes, and the three major religions did not occupy the territory, but only preached the situation.
At this time, the original imperial family only controlled the Sunset Province and the Kerry Province, and at the same time absorbed the power of several dukes whose territories were occupied, such as the Grand Duke of the Northland and the Grand Duke of Laterite. It has formed a very close bond with the Gaskel family in the neighboring Kuril province.
The three northern provinces, namely the Northlands, the Red Earth, and the Brola, are controlled by the Dark See; The provinces of Diland, Baihe, and Southeast in the south-central part are controlled by the Holy See of Light. The central province is controlled by the Earth Temple, and the Gesa Province and the Manda Province are controlled by the Three Dukes Alliance, but the Earth Temple, the Three Dukes Alliance, and the Imperial Family are faintly watching each other, and they work together against the two alliances of light and darkness.
In the face of such a drastic change in the situation, Wright was also very surprised. However, referring to the pattern on the west side of the Warcraft Mountain Range in the original book of Panlong in his memory, he probably also speculated.
If it weren't for his strength to explode and kill Hamlin, it is very likely that even Colland and Charlie would die in the Sunset Mountains, then it is difficult for the forces of the royal family and the Duke of Mermaid Castle to resist under the two alliances of light and darkness, and the alliance of the three dukes is actually very weak, and the Earth Temple is also difficult to support, so it will be easily destroyed, forming a pattern in which the Light and Darkness Alliance dominates the west of the Warcraft Mountain Range in the original book.
Of course, because of Wright's intervention, in addition to Colander, a strong man who is close to the limit of the Sanctuary, plus Charlie Sistan who is holding an artifact, is not too weak, and the appeal of the powerhouse of the Royal Sanctuary, plus the several major ducal families who came to defect and the Sanctuary powerhouse behind them, the strength of the Royal-Mermaid Castle alliance is not much worse than the two major alliances of light and darkness, and even the Earth Temple and the Three Dukes Alliance are watching each other.
In such a situation, it is not easy for Wright to stay in the former imperial capital of the central province. The family moved to the province of Ksley, which Wright was more familiar with. Of course, it is not only the Wright family who has moved like this, in fact, the Baruch family, the Hyde family, and Wright's younger sister have all moved out of the imperial capital together.
Although Wright has no intention of establishing a force or joining a force, as the son-in-law of the Baruch family and a disciple of the Holy Magister Cromwell Neham, he also invisibly linked the four ultimate warrior families and the disciples of the Cromwell family to form a powerful force.
After all, the four ultimate warriors, in addition to the 'undead warriors' in the Magnolia Empire, the other three are all within the territory of the original Puang Empire. The head of the family married the earliest, and the 'Tiger Striped Warriors' with the largest number of clansmen in the Bolei clan have four Tiger Striped Warriors. And the Hyde family also has three Purple Flame Warriors at the Sacred Domain level, while the Baruch family only has Wright's father-in-law and wife, the two Sacred Domains. This is a full eight Sacred Domain powerhouses, and among these nine people, only Cecilia is the ninth level of human form, and she has only reached the Sacred Domain after transformation. And the ultimate warrior of the Holy Domain in a complete state, even if he does not have the slightest sense of the law, can be regarded as a relatively powerful peak powerhouse of the Holy Domain, which is enough to be comparable to the current Wright.
And the Cromwell Holy Demon Guide system, although there are only two Holy Domain powerhouses of Cromwell Holy Demon Guide and Wright. However, Cromwell's Holy Demon Guide is the ultimate powerhouse of the Holy Domain, stronger than any of the four ultimate warrior families, and Wright, although his strength is not so strong now, is full of potential.
Moreover, the Warcraft under Wright's command actually has a lot of potential.
"Wright, did you think the furball would succeed?" Cecilia looked at the big cat lying on the ground with some concern.
The three-headed demonic beasts under Wright's command, and Elek is still in the growth stage, about the level of an eighth-level peak demonic beast. And Xiao Hei, the purple-veined black bear with the largest body, although he has long been at the peak of the ninth level, he has not yet completely reached the limit.
Only the fork-tailed civet hairball itself is the bloodline of a third-level demonic beast, and then the special environment of the dimensional prison node has grown all the way to a ninth-level peak demonic beast.
From Wright's point of view, after eating the crystal nucleus of the Sacred Domain Demonic Beast, the hairball is the most likely to step into the Sacred Domain. It is the worst bloodline among the three Wright monsters, but it has the highest level of understanding and effort.
However, the energy contained in the Sanctuary Demon Crystal Nucleus is the essence of the magic power of a Sanctuary Demon Beast, and it is very difficult and time-consuming to completely refine a Sanctuary Demon Crystal Nucleus.
A few days later, just as Wright was fighting Cecilia in the martial arts training arena, the voice of Elek's soul was heard.
"Master, the furball looks like something is wrong!" Elek's anxious voice came. Wright quickly spoke to Sam Baruch and hurried to where the furball was.
"Sneer~~" The fork-tailed civet cat seems to have a small mouse running under the fur of its body, constantly bulging, and on the white fur of the whole body, some cyan patterns faintly appear, surrounded by airflow, and the hairball with closed eyes makes a low moan in pain.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a cyan cyclone on the head of the furball, and Wright can sense how powerful the energy is inside.
"Lord, master, I'm fine!" The hairball's painful voice sounded in Wright's head, and Wright was so anxious that he could only watch from the sidelines.
When the pattern on the surface of the hairball changes rapidly, and the muscles and bones of the whole body are rapidly transforming-
The cyan cyclone finally regained its calm, and directly poured into the head of the fork-tailed civet, and immediately, the body of the hairball also regained its calm, and the cyan pattern on the surface of the body also disappeared again.
"Whew." Wright secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the hair on the surface of the hair sphere is full of blood beads, and the transformation just now is a kind of transformation for it, both physically and mentally.
Furball opened his eyes and looked at Wright excitedly and gratefully.
"Success?" There was a smile on Wright's lips.
"Yes, meow, master." The furball does not have a soul transmission, but a very crisp human voice comes out of its mouth.
A cyan light appeared on the surface of the hair sphere, easily evaporating the blood beads on the hair, and the hair returned to its white and delicate whiteness.
"Maoqiu, you stepped into the holy realm, it's really congratulations!" Electric, who was guarding the furball on the side, said with a little envy.
"Don't worry, Electric, you have a chance! And thank you. Furball is also grateful to Electric for being by her side when she broke through.
"Okay, the furball has stepped into the Holy Domain, and we have another Holy Domain powerhouse here, so we can have a banquet to celebrate." Wright said with a smile, called the butler, and announced that there was going to be a banquet.
