Novel Full Chapter 327 Conquering the Westle Empire
A few weeks later…
After a brief celebration and adjustment.
Over a trillion soldiers and hundreds of millions of officials of the empire boarded the ships to conquer the Westle Empire.
For this, Maximus even bought some tier 9 ships from the Shadow Hunter Guild.
As for the unspoken rules or whatsoever; After killing Voloros, the Curse Continent is now his domain.
Coupled with his strength, in the Curse Continent, no rule could restrict him anymore.
Conquering the people of the Westle Empire is to let them recognize the Supreme Emperor of the continent.
This is to unify the amalgamation of will and convert them to the people of the Moonlight Empire.
Maximus was too lazy to pay attention to this and had his subordinates do this troublesome job.
Over a trillion soldiers are enough to suppress all dissent.
Hundreds of millions of officials were also brought to bring order and arrange all people in the Westle Empire.
After everything was arranged, Maximus continued his reunion with his family as he planned for the future of the empire.
…
A few days later…
The tier 9 ships docked on various borders of the Westle Empire.
“What is that?”
“Is it an enemy invasion?”
“It should be the Moonlight Empire.”
“Huh~ It has finally come to this day…”
Although the appearance of the tier 9 ships caused commotion, it didn’t cause much panic.
They already knew about the death of their emperor for weeks.
They were devastated at first.
However, after thinking about it, they realized they were worried for nothing.
They were just ordinary people living in this cursed world.
Some of them were from little kingdoms, unknown empires, and even top empires.
Yet, just like a snap of a finger, they became the people of the Westle Empire.
Though unwilling at the start, they slowly accepted their emperor for his righteousness and generosity.
They also forgot about their origin and fully supported their emperor.
What is happening now is just another change of rule.
This is the time of war, and the winner is the king.
They, as ordinary people, just needed to follow who was in the lead.
They could only hope that this new emperor of theirs would be as generous as their previous ruler.
Soon, millions of soldiers descended from the ship, looking coldly at the crowd.
Seeing that they were not rioting and looked at them curiously, they also relaxed.
“Ahem, I’m Kirk, the Captain in charge.”
“You should already know the fall of your emperor…” Kirk stopped, looking to see their reaction.Seeing they were calm, Kirk sighed in relief; it seemed that his task this time was easy.
“The Supreme Emperor of this land, the Emperor of the Moonlight Empire, presents a decree!”
“The People of the Westle Empire!”
“I ask you to surrender and follow this Emperor to glory.”
“Nonetheless, you can turn your heads back and leave the Curse Continent.”
“Only the people of the Moonlight Empire, my people, are allowed to live in this land.”
“If you wish not to die, you may leave this land at once!”
Kirk read the decree in a solemn tone, looking at the crowd before him.
“So what choice do you make?”
“We surrender to his majesty! We surrender to the Moonlight Empire!”
What a joke; those who can leave already have.
The only ones remaining are ordinary people who didn’t have the money or connections to leave.
Especially during this time of war, the greedy businessmen of the Arcane continent didn’t let go and collected exorbitant fees to poach them from the continent.
“Good! Then you shall prepare; we will leave this land after a while,” Kirk said.
His Majesty already told them they would relocate to the Forbidden Forest, now called the Moonlight Forest.
By now, various construction was probably in place, just waiting for the people to settle in.
“This – we will leave this place?”
“Yes, this land is too small to accommodate the future of the empire.”
“Worry not; all the expenses and food will be on us.”
“You only need to bring yourself onboard and leave the rest to us,” Kirk comforted.
In his eyes, these were already the people of the Moonlight Empire.
Treating them as such was just natural.
After seeing they understood the protocol, he left some soldiers in place and moved to the next city.
…
A few days later, in Kole City on the border of the Westle Empire…
A ten-year-old kid, Latin, held his five little sisters’ hands as he led them to the docking station to register.
The war didn’t just bring death and destruction; it also left the future generation on their own.
A few years ago, Latin originally had a happy family living in a little kingdom.
But an army from the Westle Empire came rushing in, setting fire and bloodshed everywhere.
That event took the lives of his parents, leaving him and his newly-born quintuplet sisters.
As a child, taking care of his siblings was a daunting thought.
Taking care of them was a problem, much less feeding them.
Fortunately, upon arriving in the Westle Empire, the benefits were enough for even a child to live by.
A house to live in and food given to them was enough for him and his sisters to survive.
From time to time, some nannies also visited, instructing him what to do.
As time passed, he also forgot the hatred brought by the death of his parents.
After all, life had to go on.
However, after the fall of the Emperor, their lives turned into a nightmare.
The food didn’t come, and evil neighbors troubled them.
After a few weeks of despair and hiding, fortunately, help came to them.
The soldiers of the Moonlight Empire provided the city with food and safety, which they lacked.
All the people who had done evil were either locked up or killed on the spot.
During this time, Latin felt alive again, laughing and smiling with his sisters.
This also made him realize his lack of strength.
If only he could be as strong as those soldiers; he could always see his sisters smile.
Providing them with a home that could protect and nurture them.
Lost in thought, Latin continued to walk to the docking station to register their identities.
A gentleman told him that this was necessary to become an official citizen of the empire.
Furthermore, once they were registered, they could board the ship and wait for departure.
Latin didn’t want to wait any longer.
Once these soldiers left, they would be on their own again, trudging alone through the dangers of society.
As they were walking, a soldier approached them.
“You kids, where are your parents?”
“No, we don’t have any,” Latin shook his head.
The soldier also understood and looked at them with pity.
“Are you going to the dock?”
“Yes, mister! My brother said the food there is delicious!”
“Is it really delicious?”
“It must be; my brother doesn’t lie!”
“Delicious! Delicious!”
“Okay, stop talking. You’re making me hungry.”
Soon, the five sisters started arguing, making Latin and the soldier smile.
“Come hop in, I’ll take you there,” the soldier said, taking out a mechanical car.
“Is this appropriate?” Latin asked, not wanting to disturb the soldier.
“No worries, I’m off duty anyway. And you don’t want your sisters to walk all the way, do you?”
Hearing this, Latin also looked at his sister’s swollen feet after walking for a few kilometers.
As delicate children aged 3-4, it was already a miracle they could walk a few kilometers and still smile.
Looking distressed, Latin urged his sisters to board the mechanical car.
“Sit tight; we’ll arrive there shortly.”
With amazement and wonder in their eyes, the car zipped through and reached the dock after a few minutes.
“Whoa, that was fast!”
“Fun! Fun! Fun!”
“Can we do it again, mister?”
“I’m dizzy~ Can we get out?”
“Urgh~ I’m going to puke~”
“Hahaha, we’re already here; just follow the gentlemen who wear clothes like me. They will take you to eat delicious food.”
Getting out of the car, Latin and his sisters thanked the soldier.
Looking around, Latin didn’t know where to go.
The place was full of people from all over the city getting rations or registering to be citizens.
“Brother, hurry; the delicious food is waiting for us.”
“I smell delicious food!”
“Hurry, hurry!”
“I’m hungry!”
“My stomach is calling us, brother.”
“Uh-” Latin looked lost.
Finally, some kind-hearted people pointed the way to Latin.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the registration point.
Earlier, after asking around, it seemed that you could only get food after registering.
Although they were given food, it was only to pad their stomach.
Only by being an official citizen could one avail its benefits and eat delicious food.
“You kids… What are your names?” the registrant asked after a pause.
Seeing many situations like this, the registrant already knew what to ask and what to expect.
He was just shocked to see a kid carrying young kids around him.
“I’m Latin; this is Lucia, Elena, Sofia, Clara, and Maria,” Latin introduced.
“Good, now put your hand on this.”
Soon after complicated procedures, the siblings registered, getting their tokens of identity.
“From now on, we are people of the Moonlight Empire…” Latin murmured, looking at the token.
