Chapter 743: Rich again
Seeing the faces filled with confusion and disbelief, Konstantine took a deep breath and cast a sharp gaze across the battlefield. His eyes swept over the assembled Legends and High Legends, lingering only when they landed on the one being capable of challenging his words and authority—the massive draconic Superior Legend.
With calm certainty, Konstantine spoke.
"He is Vlad Xaos, the Hero of Wrath of the Land of the Three Calamities. He was the first to march into the Voidheart Stronghold, and his companion—the World Serpent, Jormungandr—was the one who destroyed the fortress’s core tower, bringing the war to its end."
The atmosphere changed instantly.
The war between the Golden Sky Fortress and the Voidheart Stronghold was infamous. Its implications had reached beyond the Doomsday World. While it was well known that the Graecia Empire emerged victorious, the final battle had remained shrouded in mystery. Whispers circulated, but no one knew the details.
That is, until now.
The battle had ended less than a year ago, and the echoes of it were still spreading. The name "Depravita" had already carved a niche for itself within the Doomsday World, but it was only just beginning to reach the core worlds of the Graecia Empire. Full recognition across the universe would take time—but that time had clearly begun.
Konstantine’s voice continued, unwavering.
"Traditionally, the ascension of a Duke is a sacred event, held only in the imperial capital, Constantinopla. But this time, the Emperor himself issued a decree—he broke tradition to name Vlad Xaos a Duke of the Graecia Empire."
