Chapter 662 - 375: Outbreak of the Beastman War, The Eve (2)

"I hope the Empire has a response!"

Thor sighed.

At this moment, the only thing he could rely on was the Empire having a way to deal with this.

After all, even though he had reached the Divine Domain, he was not qualified to intervene in such a massive upheaval.

Fortunately, based on the daily intelligence from the past month, it seemed the Empire was prepared.

In this situation, Thor believed the Empire should have a response plan.

Of course, plans are just plans.

At this moment, Thor had to start making alternative preparations.

To prevent any unforeseen events.

He mused, threads of thoughts swirling.

The next day.

Thor summoned Reine.

He handed over a letter he had just finished writing.

"Go, deliver this letter to my father."

"Also, take ten Essences of Life and ten bottles of High-Level Life Potion to my father, to ensure he is prepared."

He spoke gravely.

"Yes, my lord!"

Reine replied respectfully and quickly departed.

Compared to others, Reine was undoubtedly much faster.

Faced with this sudden change, it’s best to prepare early.

After sending out the letters, Thor immediately began new preparations.

For a massive upheaval like this, migrating the territory was obviously unrealistic.

However, temporarily contracting forces and moving the territory and the Eagle Merchant Association’s strengths away from the upheaval sites could be done.

And time quietly slipped away amidst Thor’s preparations.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

This half month saw dozens of daily intelligence updates.

These hundred-plus daily intelligence reports finally allowed Thor to breathe a sigh of relief.

But while Thor took a breath, the Tulip Kingdom was not so calm.

Half a month ago.

A massive turmoil swept through the entire Tulip Kingdom.

Riots broke out everywhere.

Several cities even faced destruction.

Northern Province, Loren City completely destroyed half a month ago, over two hundred thousand population, and the complete obliteration of the Marquis Reman family.

Ten days ago, Frost Moon Province, Pat City, the Pat Family, and the entire city’s tens of thousands of population were completely wiped out.

Seven days ago, the Campbell Family, a top marquis family, was wiped out overnight, along with Campbell City.

Royal City.

Three days ago, a massive upheaval broke out.

Duke Skodar, allied with the Forbidden Knight Order, rebelled, causing a huge riot in the Royal Capital.

Half of the Royal Capital was engulfed in flames.

Over three hundred thousand perished.

And such turmoil spread across the Tulip Kingdom.

For a while, the entire Tulip Kingdom felt on the verge of collapse.

The people were even more terrified.

Especially the huge riot in the Royal Capital three days ago, which left everyone in panic.

After all, with such drastic changes in the Royal Capital, no one could guarantee they wouldn’t face major problems.

For a while, countless nobility fell into tension.

This tense atmosphere undoubtedly led to skyrocketing prices of various supplies.

Especially life potions for enhancing strength.

The prices surged to the skies.

Originally, a bottle of Low-Level Life Potion was just a hundred Gold Coins, Mid-Level Life Potion a thousand Gold Coins.

But now, the value of Low-Level Life Potions exceeded three hundred Gold Coins, Mid-Level Life Potions soared to five thousand Gold Coins.

And they continued to rise.

Especially after Thor began retracting the Eagle Merchant Association’s power, the prices changed daily.

Frost Moon Province: Dressrosa Family.

Marquis Engel, at this moment, couldn’t help but look solemn.

"How is it on the side of the Royal City?"

After a while, he turned his gaze to Michael, speaking gravely.

"There are no updates yet. The only confirmed fact should be the Church of Gods’ tricks. They somehow controlled the Skodar family and launched an attack on the Royal City."

Michael shook his head, his expression also becoming solemn.

The successive changes caught even them off guard.

Even though Thor had sent them warnings before.

But no one expected the situation to deteriorate so swiftly.

First, Loren City happened, then the obliteration of the Marquis Reman family, followed by the Campbell family.

Finally, even the Royal City was affected.

That was the Royal City, the safest place in the entire Tulip Kingdom, without a doubt.

But even so, it was affected.

Does this mean there’s no safe place left in the entire Tulip Kingdom?

"By the way, is there any new news from Thor?"

As if recalling something, Marquis Engel looked again at Michael.

"Not yet!"

Michael shook his head.

Yet at this moment.

Their faces changed.

In the next moment, their figures vanished.

When they reappeared, they were in the sky.

Upon seeing who had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marquis!"

Reine stopped, giving a slight bow.

"Reine?"

Marquis Engel was a bit surprised.

"Marquis, my lord sent me to deliver a letter to you."

Reine spoke respectfully.

"A letter?"

Marquis Engel and Michael exchanged glances, both becoming tense.

But they quickly approached and took the letter.

When the letter was opened.

The words inside came into view.

Marquis Engel’s pupils couldn’t help but contract violently.

His heart trembled uncontrollably.

"Marquis, you should prepare early."

"My lord says the turmoil will begin soon."

"Additionally, this is what my lord instructed to give to you."

Reine spoke, then presented ten bottles of Essence of Life and ten bottles of High-Level Life Potion.

"I understand!"

"Reine, what is Thor planning?"

Taking a deep breath, Marquis Engel couldn’t help but nod slightly, but after nodding, he still hesitated a bit to inquire.

There was no way around it; the content struck him too deeply.

He had to worry about his son.

"My lord is also making preparations."

"Marquis, I have other tasks to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further."

Reine explained and then took his leave.

Marquis Engel nodded slightly.

Then Reine quickly left.

Watching Reine leave.

Marquis Engel’s face appeared extremely grave.

"Marquis!"

Michael instinctively spoke.

"You should take a look!"

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Marquis Engel handed the letter to Michael.

Michael reached out to take it.

But as soon as his eyes fixed on the letter, his face changed too.

"Is this true?"

Michael couldn’t help but inquire, his breath hitting a pause.

"I’m afraid it’s real."

Marquis Engel forced a smile.

He already understood his son well.

Clearly, since the letter could be sent, there shouldn’t be any issues.

But if what’s described is true, it means the entire Tulip Kingdom, and even the Three Northern Countries, faces major problems.

No matter how simple the content, thinking about it made Marquis Engel’s scalp tingle.

Such an enormous crisis.

Let alone regular marquis families, even duke families, and even the Tulip Kingdom, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, the Blazing Kingdom surviving this massive chaos is a significant concern.

"Let’s go!"

"We must start preparing."

"We need to be fully prepared."

Marquis Engel smiled wryly, then slowly descended.

He cannot leave.

As a marquis, he cannot receive benefits without obligations.

But he has to consider the family.

At least leave a spark for the Desecross family.

The letter Thor gave him contained not only information about the turmoil but also suggested several places the Dressrosa family could currently choose.

He needs to carefully consider it now.

To select some family heirs.

Otherwise, when that moment arrives, it will be too late.
