Chapter 663 - 376: Outbreak of War, The Harvest Begins

In this tumultuous era, the nobility have their own ways of survival. Just like the Dressrosa Family, a fledgling hawk who condenses a Life Seed before eighteen is eligible to join the family or become a Pioneer Knight, while those who fail can only become Wandering Knights.

This is equivalent to being exiled, yet isn’t it also a choice for the nobility?

If the main noble body encounters issues, these Wandering Knights still have the chance to rise again.

Even if the hope is very slim, there’s a difference between existing and not existing at all.

With the information from Thor, Marquis Engel knew he needed to make new choices.

Within the castle.

Orders were issued.

Soon, the entire Dressrosa Family was mobilized.

Some elite offspring were selected.

At the same time, some family legacies began to be distributed.

These individuals will gradually be sent out over time.

They will join the kingdoms Thor has chosen under the guise of Wandering Knights.

If they can survive this crisis, they have a chance to return.

If not, these descendants will continue living in these new realms.

Much like three hundred years ago, when the Dressrosa Family moved from the eve of the Sarca Kingdom to the Tulip Kingdom.

Of course, compared to the accumulated experiences of the Kingdom War.

These individuals are undoubtedly luckier than the Dressrosa Family three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago.

In that great chaos.

The Dressrosa Family suffered heavy losses.

Ultimately, only one Great Knight with a dozen Official Knights escaped into the Tulip Kingdom.

This time, most of these descendants have one or two Earth Knights, giving them greater opportunities.

They also have deeper foundations.

The only consideration is that they will face greater challenges.

After all, the countries they are going to, aside from one or two, are all powerful nations.

Unlike the Tulip Kingdom.

The Tulip Kingdom only rose to prominence a few hundred years ago; when the Dressrosa Family arrived, the entire Tulip Kingdom was still in a booming phase, allowing the Dressrosa Family to rise quickly.

Other nations may not have this chance.

But regardless of the opportunity.

It’s better than facing a large unrest that leads to destruction.

Frost Moon Province location.

Count Engel was making arrangements.

Time flowed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Just as the Dressrosa operations began.

The unrest in the Northern Territory, as expected, escalated again.

Initially, it was just the Blazing Kingdom and the Beastman War.

But soon, this war dragged in the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom.

Northern Territory.

A massive Beastman Legion directly charged into the Tulip Kingdom’s border.

For a time, the entire northern region of the Tulip Kingdom tensed up.

Especially upon discovering that the Beastman Legions encountered not only consisted of Tiers Two and Three but also a large number of Tier Four and Five.

This made the entire Northern Border Legion of Tulip Kingdom more grave than ever.

The Tier Four Beastman Legions were manageable; the Northern Border Legion was still qualified to handle them, but Tier Five Beastman Legions were beyond their capability.

Thus, just a few days later.

The Northern Border Legion directly sought aid from the Royal Capital.

However, despite the plea for aid, the Royal Capital was overwhelmed; the Skodar Family’s rebellion was not yet fully quelled.

The country was also filled with a large number of Church of Gods members, making it impossible to gather sufficient force.

Ultimately, only the remaining Forbidden Guard Knight Order in the Royal Court and the nobles’ mobilized forces were sent to the Northern Territory.

This force was clearly insufficient.

However, the Tulip Kingdom’s Royal Court could only muster this much force at present.

Seven days later.

As Marquis Engel received the summons, Thor at Eagle Ridge in the Northern Province also received the summons.

"It has begun!"

Looking at the summons before him, Thor couldn’t help but murmur.

Being privy to daily intelligence, he knew full well that the summons marked the official beginning of unrest in the Three Northern Countries.

What follows is the Beastman War, Divine Revelation, the Main God’s arrival, and the Abyssal descent.

Each event is enough to shake the entire continent.

Even with daily intelligence suggesting that things hadn’t gone worst, and the Empire ultimately resolved everything.

But being in the midst of it all, even Thor couldn’t help a glimmer of tension.

"Reine, prepare for departure tomorrow."

"Also, summon Steve, Pelos, and Uncle Marshall."

Lightly tapping the table with his right hand, Thor inhaled deeply and continued.

"Yes!"

Reine responded respectfully.

His figure retreated.

Moments later.

Three figures appeared before him.

These were, of course, Steve, Pelos, and Marshall.

The strength of the three had already changed significantly.

Not only had Steve and Pelos broken through to become Sky Knights, but Marshall’s power had progressed to Mid-stage Sky Knight.

Moreover, the key wasn’t just in the improvement of Knight Cultivation.

It was the enhancement of their talents.

With the aid of the Essence of Life, all three had undergone transformation in their talents.

In the future, reaching the level of the Divine Domain and breaking the Holy Sanctuary seems no longer too much a challenge.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"
