Chapter 1570: Invasion
After listening to the brief history, Nathan had written down three names. “The Asura Palace, the rumored battlefield where he fell, and the location of the great war between the Asura Palace and the coalition forces.”
Luna couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, do you know any place that can store any information or knowledge in the Asura Palace? Or maybe the place where they gather information.”
“We only know the latter. This place is infamous for fueling the warmongers with the information they needed to keep the war alive.
“As for anything like a library, there was no such record. There might be some in the capital city, but I couldn’t guarantee it.
“After all, before uniting the entire south, this region was filled with nomadic tribes. The Asura might even use several cities or small kingdoms he conquered as outposts or libraries.
“Nevertheless, I couldn’t confirm the existence of a great library where he stored most of his knowledge.”
“I see.” Luna squinted her eyes. It was already amazing that a human could fight the aliens at the early stage of the invasion.
It looked like she had underestimated the man called Asura.
If he were still alive, he would probably have become a God of War or a God of Death.
Selena noticed another problem. “You mentioned that the Asura Palace had to retreat from this war. Did the Asura Palace mention anything about support? Considering the scale of the invasion, they should have sent a request to the coalition forces, right?”
Vista nodded solemnly. “Indeed. Well, I feel embarrassed to say this. There was no mention of support.
“People soon learned that the aliens would also attack them once they slipped past the Asura Palace’s weakened defenses.
“Although the number was low, they focused solely on their own defense and gave no support to the Asura Palace.
“Then again, I could understand them a bit. The Asura Palace had beaten them hard, so there was no way they wanted to give them any support.
“As a result, the Asura Palace fell in battle and the invasion continued, harming them even more.
“The human territory in this world… Sorry, on the continent, shrank to a third of its original size.
“But it was at this time that Hero Mikhail appeared. Mikhail fought bravely on the front line and introduced the summoning system and officially became the first ’recorded’ summoner.
“Thanks to his teaching, other kingdoms also produced their own summoners. They then started to fight back hard.
“Hero Mikhail did what the Asura couldn’t. He pushed the aliens back hard. He founded the Holy Kingdom.
“Everything he did ended up paving a path for the great war that allowed humanity to retake their territories from the aliens.
“However, it didn’t last long. The humans ended up fighting themselves, which resulted in their decline, causing the aliens to push them back.
“There were also issues about the familiars’ rights, which caused them to suffer even more damage before the appearance of Hero Mikhail.
“Only like… 20% of human territory was left on this continent.
“But after the great reform, they managed to stabilize the battlefield and gradually retake their territories… like the present-day territories you’re aware of.”
Nathan thought for a moment before writing down a few more names.
Meanwhile, Flora raised one finger. “There is one thing I’m confused about. When they pushed back the aliens, shouldn’t there be things they got from the Asura Palace?”
“Possibly. However, I could only tell you anything recorded by the Azilia Kingdom, Your Highness.”
“Anything important?”
“There were two I could mention. The first one was the massive armory that allowed us to remain stable all this time, and the second thing was the map of the southern territories. The detailed map that only high-ranking officials would possess.”
“Do you have it with you now?” Flora continued.
“Yes.” Vista nodded. “Allow me to excuse myself for a moment. Due to the age of the map, I have to be careful when transporting it.”
Flora glanced at Nathan.
“Before that, did they manage to reach the capital city?” Nathan waved his hand, stopping him.
Vista shook his head firmly. “That would be no. The capital city was located further south. So, no one had ever gotten into the capital city yet. At least there was no record about it.
“There were some rumors about an expedition that targeted the capital city. They said it had received help from a space element familiar as a means of transport.
“However, there was no more information about them. One of them was said to be a world class summoner, so they could only speculate there were even more terrifying beings hidden deep in the Asura Palace.”
Nathan crossed his arms. This was most likely the start of the legend about the alpha class and the apex class aliens.
“All right. Please get the map.”
Vista didn’t move right away. Instead, he turned to Flora. Nathan might be scary to him, but it didn’t change the fact that Flora was the only one who could order him.
This was the sole system that kept the Shadow Guards going. Even if that person was the husband of their master, the only one who could order them was their master.
Nathan couldn’t care less about their allegiance, so he just turned to Flora, asking her to get it over with.
Flora nodded to Vista, asking him to retrieve the map.
While Vista was away, Nathan said, “It looks like there are several places that we have to visit. We might have to split it into several trips due to how dangerous it is. There might even be alpha class… if not apex class aliens we have to face along the way.
“So, the three team leaders this time will be me, Evelyn, and Luna. I don’t think anyone has an objection, right?”
“I do!” Luna jokingly raised her hand in protest. “How can we flirt if we are not together?”
“…” Nathan smiled wryly. “Well, I’m going to ignore it for now. This time, our purpose is to figure out the information about the aliens and the portals, if possible. But our main objective is to get as many cores as possible. I want everyone to become world class summoners after this trip.
“As such, Team A will consist of…”
