Chapter 906 - 468: Hearthstone Witch Successfully Creates Dark Soul_3
Ivita, the Hearthstone Witch, the King of the Ancient Tomb, the Hierarch of the Sun God Sect, and others held a meeting in the Royal Capital of Lombardy, where they decided that Tartax would continue to rally potential allies for the time being, while other knights and witches would lead the army to defend the three countries.
Among them, Ivita specifically instructed the King of the Ancient Tomb to go to Cross Island to urge the citizens there to build ships in preparation for a sea battle.
After all, although the Alsace Kingdom was landlocked, the Empire had a portion of excellent ports and a medium-sized navy that maintained the commercial trade of the Imperial Emperor’s territories. If they could blockade the Emperor’s territories at sea, it would cause significant damage to his lands.
A week later, Ivita in the Royal Capital of Lombardy received confidential intelligence that Henry VII had suddenly fallen ill and had no choice but to abdicate. Jalen ascended to the throne of the Alsace Kingdom, self-styled as Louis XIII.
But his legitimacy was too low at the time of his accession; many within the nation began to doubt who their real king was, and the Church even refrained from sending the Metropolitan Archbishop of Alsace to crown Louis XIII, instead sending a mid-level official from a branch of the Church.
The dissatisfaction of the Church and the insult to Jalen were clearly visible.
Moreover, the attacks by the Subspace Demon God within Alsace were so fierce that Ivita had not anticipated that the Sea God would use the corrupting power of the Subspace to make one Alsace village after another join the Subspace, causing the Kingdom of Alsace to be unable to manage itself and needing to address the more urgent Subspace invasion first.
However, every disadvantage has its advantage.
