Since Konoheim’s current priority is appeasing his daughter, Felina’s matter is temporarily set aside.
But now, Otto has another important issue to deal with.
“How is the disposal of the Mountain Dwarf going?”
What Otto was referring to was the Mountain King. That fellow had his soul extracted in the dungeon and was personally tortured by Moray for a long time.
If it weren’t for Moray’s weakened power, the results could have been achieved the day the soul was extracted.
“All the secrets have been dug out, even the one where he stole his best friend’s woman!”
At this point, the face on the ruby showed an enjoyable expression: “Ah, apart from studying a new magic subject, there’s nothing more interesting than torturing a brand new soul.”
“I’m not interested in your special hobbies.”
Otto lazily lay on the Blackstone Platform and continued asking, “So, what about the important intelligence?”
“You’re always so rigid…”
Although Moray was somewhat dissatisfied, he still honestly said: “Actually, this Mountain Dwarf doesn’t know much. The currently useful intelligence shows that it was a powerful Demon Lord who wounded Lars Lait.”
Although that Demon Lord also had legendary power, he alone could not make a veteran Legend Storm Titan so miserable.
According to the Mountain Dwarf, there is another powerful Demon Lord in the Land of Red Flames.
As for who exactly it is, it’s not clear yet. For now, all they know is that this Demon Lord seems to prefer close combat, but there’s one more thing worth noting.
It seems that those demons are preparing to invade the Prime Material Plane again from the Land of Red Flames.”
Since the first century, demons have tried to invade the Prime Material Plane, and their purpose is simple: just pure destruction and slaughter.
Besides the Land of Red Flames, the Dark Forest, which borders the Eastern and Western Empires, is also one of their invasion starting points for the continent.
But that place is far away from the Land of the Soaring Dragon, so Otto doesn’t need to worry about it.
However, the Land of Red Flames is different, located at the far eastern end of the Skyreach Mountains.
Aside from the life-forbidden Gale Sea Area, there are just the primitive tribes and monsters occupying the barbarian mountainous areas in the central Skyreach Mountains.
Moreover, the eastern edge of the Sulfur Mountains borders the Land of Red Flames.
Simply put, if demons really invade the Prime Material Plane in full force, Otto will be the first to bear the brunt.
This is not good news. Otto, with a stern face, pondered for a while and finally had to ask Saru to send reconnaissance units to pay close attention to the situation in the Land of Red Flames.
The harsh environment of the Land of Red Flames is even more severe than that of the Sulfur Mountains. There is not a single piece of normal soil or rock to be found there.
Volcanoes and magma that could erupt at any time are everywhere. What seems to be ordinary flat ground might actually be the surface of high-temperature molten rock.
As for the minions capable of being sent there, Otto, after thinking about it, could only think of Flame Lizards.
At Otto’s request, Saru quickly came to the Council Chamber.
First, he looked at Felina, the spider-transformed Elf, with some caution, and then respectfully knelt before Otto.
He had no objections to Otto’s request.
Following that, he reported to Otto on some recent matters related to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
The first thing was about the war situation in Caran.Under the leadership of Goblin Gaz and with the full support of the Black Iron Dwarves, the current battle situation is very smooth.
The Caran people, known for their strong defense, have almost no resistance. Their seemingly reliable giant shields and heavy crossbows are worthless in the face of air-dropped explosive balls.
If it were not for the mountainous terrain and the well-built city walls, Gaz would have already swept through the area.
“It’s worth mentioning that the Eastern Empire of Castilla sent envoys who first strongly condemned the actions of the Black Iron Dwarves.
But then they expressed that if the Black Iron Dwarves were willing to cooperate directly with them and sell related weapons and equipment to them.
They could dispatch their navy to help crush the Caran Kingdom and even send back the recently exiled high-ranking Caran nobles and their families to the Eastern Empire.”
This war against Caran is launched in the name of the Black Iron Dwarves.
Moreover, the Eastern Empire’s move is truly shameless; as long as they can get enough benefits, they will forget their long-term partner Caran.
“If I remember correctly, the ruler of the Eastern Empire is now the Crimson Empress, right?”
Saru nodded in confirmation. With the growing influence in the Land of the Soaring Dragon, he has recently been intensively studying the knowledge of various countries on the mainland.
Among them, the present monarch of the Eastern Empire, the Crimson Empress, left the deepest impression on him.
She is the current ruler of the Eastern Empire and its first ruler.
In the beginning, she was only a princess with little importance, who was prepared to marry into the Felton Empire.
Unlike most hedonistic princes and princesses, she was fond of sword training and even became a disciple of the famous Gale Swordsman in the world.
But she managed to win over many aristocrats of the Eastern Empire and hide herself in an unknown corner of the empire’s eastern region.
Eventually, she broke through to the legendary realm at a young age, and after the former emperor’s death, with the help of her master and numerous aristocrats, she defied the orthodox succession of the crown prince and even occupied half of the empire’s territory.
This is now the Eastern Empire, Castilla.
Although many years have passed, with the lifespan of legendary powerhouses, the power of the Eastern Empire should still be firmly grasped by the Crimson Empress.
So far, there have been no rumors of the empress having a partner.
Therefore, in the current Eastern Empire, both young and old men are eager to occupy the position next to the throne.
Otto is clear about these things.
Soon he smiled and said: “Since the Eastern Empire said so, let’s do it! Our original purpose was just that, it saves me a lot of effort when they present themselves.”
With just a few words, the fate of Caran was decided.
This long-established and wealthy country on the mainland will soon learn that having only money without strong power is useless.
Saru nodded in agreement, and then spoke about the recent progress of Angelina.
At present, the territory of the former Lait Kingdom has been completely captured by her, and the new king of Lait is still busy with the war with Felton.
Not knowing if it’s because he couldn’t spare any attention, for the matter of the fire in his backyard, he just sent more envoys, attempting to reach a peace agreement with Angelina.
Of course, Angelina immediately refused the new king of Lait.
After the latter continued to insist on sending envoys repeatedly, she angrily sent the envoys’ heads to the new king of Lait’s desk.
Since then, he has been much more honest, at least not sending any more annoying talkers.
