Chapter 383 The changing situation
The miserable days of the Nightmare King began. His painful wails could be heard every day. At first, everyone felt a little sympathetic for him, but over time they got used to it.
Just as Luo Qiu and others were racking their brains to cultivate the Nightmare King, the world outside was not peaceful.
After the Second Apostle became the new president of Starlight Commercial Bank, he encountered challenges from many aspects. Many forces were dissatisfied with him and joined hands to try to bite off a piece of meat.
At the beginning, the effect was indeed very good. The business of Starlight Trading Company in many cities was affected and they had to choose to retreat. But within a few days, the three major countries simultaneously announced policies that were favorable to Starlight Trading Company, which dealt a heavy blow to those forces and stunned many people.
Many people secretly cursed the three major countries. Didn't they want to ban it before? Why did they change their minds so quickly? Some people who were closely connected with the three major countries naturally knew the inside story and did not participate in this joint effort, but more forces were completely unaware and were harvested by the Starlight Trading Company and the three major countries. They were so angry that they vomited blood.
Saint Jervishes of the Holy See also received the relevant information. She was a little surprised and said to herself: "This woman actually has some business skills."
Obviously, the second apostle had already reached some agreements with the three major countries, and this was also a trap they had set up in advance in order to trick those people.
Don't underestimate this wave of harvest. Those families have strong foundations, and with the Starlight Trading Company giving up its profits this time, the three major countries have made a lot of money.
"What a good move! Starlight Trading Company gave up its interests this time. Those people dare not cause trouble to the three major countries and can only accept their bad luck and suffer in silence. It is equivalent to borrowing other people's money to let the three major countries help her gain a firm foothold." Saint Jevini rubbed her forehead and muttered, "What a worrying guy."
However, Saint Jevini did not take it too seriously. The purpose of the Holy See's existence was only to maintain the stability of the human kingdom, and it would not get too involved in other matters. The Second Apostle's ability to achieve this was her own.
"Sister, are we just going to watch Starlight Trading Company being controlled by her?" Genos was a little depressed.
"What else?" Saint Jevini tapped her brother's head. "Actually, this is the best outcome. If she takes over, it won't cause too much turmoil. I think she must have promised something to the three major countries, otherwise they wouldn't help her like this."
"And I suspect..." Javini narrowed her eyes.
"What do you suspect?"
"Augustus should have arranged it in advance, otherwise she wouldn't have taken over so smoothly."
"What?" Genos was stunned and said in disbelief: "Sister, you mean that Augustus knew he would fail and arranged in advance for the second apostle to take over his position?"
"Nonsense, otherwise how could such a big company like Starlight Trading Company be controlled so easily by her?" Javini said unhappily.
"But this is also..." Genos still didn't quite believe it.
Jevonne was too lazy to talk to him and asked, "How is Gahad's health?"
Genos' face darkened when he mentioned this. "He is still in a coma. His physical injuries have been healed. The head priest said it must be a mental problem..."
"In terms of the mind..." Jie Wei Ni's face changed slightly, "It's troublesome when it comes to the mind. We haven't mastered the means to treat mental trauma yet."
Although Gahad successfully defended against the evil god's attack and his will was not broken, he fell into a state of extinction.
"But I once heard a rumor that there is a place that can treat Gahad." Jevonne said slowly.
"Where?" Genos asked excitedly.
"In the legendary elf land, there grows a tree of life, which is the source of life for the elves. The morning dew of the tree of life can awaken the dead souls."
"Morning dew of the Tree of Life..." Genos stood up and said, "I'll go there and get it for Gahad." "You'll go?"
Jevonne hesitated for a moment, "Recently, the werewolves have been eyeing us covetously and have already reached the border of the Kingdom of Alan. Lanster and the others have gone to support us and cannot spare any manpower to help you."
"Don't worry, sister. I am no longer the same person I was before." Genos was very confident. After the battle with the evil god, his strength had improved a lot and he had already touched the existence of the 'lock'. As long as he broke the shackles, he would be able to reach the top and compete for the title of 'the strongest human being'.
Jie Wei Ni glared at him and said, "The peak of the Glory Class is only acceptable. You have seen the recent situation. Even if you are an exception, it is nothing."
"I know." Genos nodded.
"Be careful, take those two things with you..."
……
Kingdom of Aram, the royal capital.
The King of Aram sat on his throne, listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Your Majesty, the werewolf tribe has defeated the stonemen and centaurs, and has recruited the fighting forces of the two tribes and has come to our border."
"So fast? Although the Stonemen and Centaurs are only small tribes, there are strong people in both tribes. How could they be defeated so quickly?" King Alan was a little unconvinced.
The Stoneman and Centaur tribes were at least half as powerful as the Alan Kingdom in terms of combat power, yet they were taken down in such a short time. Doesn't that mean that the Alan Kingdom won't be able to hold on for long?
"Your Majesty, the werewolves seem to be a little weird this time. According to the news from the front, the werewolves are very crazy this time, expanding their territory without regard for any consequences."
"Expanding without regard for the consequences... Can they hold on? Where does their confidence come from? Could it be related to the powerful werewolf that appeared in Hertzperona..."
The information about the battle between werewolves and Nether Bone Dragon Knights in Hertzperona had long been circulated, and King Alan naturally knew about it. If there was such a terrifying and powerful person backing the werewolf tribe, then everything would make sense.
The demons in Plan City were so powerful back then, but they were just servants of the Nether Bone Dragon Knight. This shows how powerful the werewolf who could rival the Nether Bone Dragon Knight was.
Can you win?
Recalling the battle between the scarlet girl and the devil, King Alan had no confidence at all. That was a monster that was completely beyond the scope of human beings and was simply not something humans could defeat. Even the human wave tactics were just a joke in the eyes of the other side.
But it’s too early to give up now, at least until we face a desperate situation…
"When will the support from the Holy See arrive?"
"It is expected to be led by five Knights of the Round Table in two days."
"Five knights of the Round Table." King Aram nodded slightly. Each knight of the Round Table was a top figure and was indeed a strong support.
Normally, this kind of combat power plus the kingdom's own strength would be more than enough to deal with the werewolf tribe, but now there is a powerful man of unknown strength on the werewolf side, which is really worrying.
"The Holy See should know about the existence of the werewolf. I wonder what plans they have..."
