Chapter 551
It wasn’t just the royal family that was buried in the imperial mausoleum. Those who had achieved accomplishments worthy of being buried alongside the royals were also interred there.
Being buried in the imperial mausoleum without being a royal was an immense honor, and a testament to the empire’s recognition of their merits. Therefore, these individuals had to be great heroes or figures throughout history.
Olivia’s suggestion to replenish the ranks of the Death Knights by raiding this mausoleum was, from a purely practical standpoint, the best option open to us. Assuming it could be done properly, it was a much better place than battlefields like Serandia.
In the Allied Forces’ camp, replenishing Death Knights was virtually impossible, whereas in the imperial mausoleum, they only needed to avoid the guards’ eyes.
As expected, Charlotte turned pale and trembled.
“W-well, if we must... There’s no choice, but...”
Charlotte clearly wanted to shout that it was absolutely unacceptable, given the purpose of entering the mausoleum, but she seemed to think she had no right to do so and slumped into her seat instead.
“But wouldn’t the remains have turned to dust or decayed into the soil by now? Can they really become proper Death Knights?”
“I haven’t done this a lot as well, so I don’t know what will happen. But the important thing is, there are plenty of heroes who have been buried recently,” Olivia said with a grin.
‘Olivia... you’re scary these days.’
“There are probably heroes whose remains had been properly recovered and were interred in the imperial mausoleum after the Gate Incident, and even before that, there was the Great War, right? The fallen who stood out or demonstrated great feats during the Great War are probably also interred in the imperial mausoleum. Even if they aren’t in the imperial mausoleum, we could also try the national cemetery, right?”
“Ah...”
