Chapter 127 - 111 Will You Miss Me?_2
When Selena publicly announced the conquest plan for the Dark Territory to the entire realm, it immediately caused a sensation. Not only did the entire Knight Order directly under Augustus request to join the battle, but numerous noble vassals also actively applied to join the Underground Expeditionary Army.
Even the much larger groups of adventurers were fiercely competing for the exploration missions released by the Augustus family, even though these were essentially suicidal tasks.
But who could complain about the generosity of the Augustus family? It’s well known that the Duchess has always been lavish with rewards, and even an Earl with real power in the fiefdoms can be awarded a title if they achieve merit.
In wars like these, which have the potential to change one’s fate and that of one’s family, who wouldn’t fight desperately? Even knowing that the casualty rate would be high, does it really matter? Until the scythe of Death itself falls upon their heads, no one believes it will be them.
For Selena, who is leading this war, she knows that even if the war achieves its goal, much of the foundation the Augustus family has accumulated since their rise will be nearly exhausted.
However, she can no longer endure the powerlessness she felt when Casius was lost, so she must exhaust every means, at any cost, to establish the Mage City in the shortest possible time.
As long as she can create this magical wonder, inspired by Golden Dragon City, she would have a greater assurance of quickly advancing to become a Legendary Mage and an Elemental Dominator.
If not, and Casius were lost again and failed to return, the destruction of the Augustus family would render all family heritage and accumulation meaningless; these were always meant to be exhausted at critical moments.
"You are not allowed to participate!"
This was Noah’s stern response to his Cloud Giants who attempted to enlist in the war.
