Chapter 92: The Forest Cabin
Once again, the war took an unexpected turn. Before the middle of Summer Long, rumors of the Marquis of Golden Rock's disappearance spread from Golden Rock City.
As a result, the morale of the Golden Rock army at the front plummeted, and their already fragile defenses quickly crumbled.
The Shimmering forces advanced rapidly, reaching the gates of Golden Rock City, and within two days, successfully captured it.
The news caused a nationwide uproar in the Starlight Principality!
No one expected the war to end so swiftly.
Yet, more shocking news followed.
Three days after the fall of Golden Rock City, news arrived from Starry City that a group called the Star God Cult presented the royal family with the corpse of the Marquis of Golden Rock and the weaknesses of the Beastization infectees.
The Grand Duke of the Starry Principality was overjoyed and declared the Star God Cult the state religion, allowing their emissaries to spread the faith across all provinces.
Unsurprisingly, this news caused a significant stir among the nobility of the principality.
There were supporters and opponents, and many nobles chose to wait and see what this so-called Star God Cult intended.
Golden Rock Province, Shimmering City.
