Chapter 558
We had gone to the Demon King’s Castle with some expectations, but ultimately, we returned empty-handed. However, we did manage to raise seventy-five Death Knights, which Olivia claimed were of the highest caliber.
These Death Knights were far more powerful than the ones we had previously encountered.
While they weren’t the war heroes of the empire, they were certainly not inferior, since they were all heroes of the Order of the Holy Knights who had been canonized.
Upon returning to Edina, we reported the outcome of the operation with those who needed to know, including the Senate.
“The mausoleum was empty...?”
“Well, not completely empty, but it seemed like most of the graves in the Hall of Heroes were empty.”
Charlotte was, understandably, the most shocked.
When I mentioned the body-swapping and how it seemed the empire was doing what we intended to do, Charlotte was left speechless.
“What on earth... could they be planning...?”
“They’ll probably use that force when they feel they’ve reached their limit. We don’t know when that will be, though.”
It was a very powerful army, but using it would inevitably have repercussions. Vertus wouldn’t deploy that army unless it was a dire situation.
Hopefully, such a situation would never arise.
