Chapter 367 - 340 Doing Business with the Unholy
The situation between Laine and the Kingdom of Impure Hymns was becoming tenser.
The death of Ironblood General Rachel Angelo had not quelled the war; instead, it had led Laine to deploy even more troops to the border.
Not only that, there were reports that the Emperor himself would take to the field and come to the front lines to bolster the morale of the soldiers.
Without a doubt, Laine had put forth its entire strength, causing considerable anxiety for the Tiflins of the Kingdom of Impure Hymns.
However, the concerns of the upper and lower ranks of Tiflins were different.
The commoners were anxious about whether or not the Gates of Hell could withstand Laine’s invasion, while the nobility were worried about the news brought back by Domino Lauri.
Mr. Misfortune intended to thwart their plans, sending these nobles to Hell.
It sounded like a wild fantasy, but they all knew the contract they had signed. If the Gates of Hell were successfully opened and they managed to hold off Laine’s forces, then the entire kingdom would fall into Hell, and the nobles’ privilege would be not to suffer torment, but to become Devils under the command of the Grand Duke of Hell.
The plan had been exposed, rumors were spreading, and Mr. Misfortune was working against them.
The Diviner Mage was elusive, as Domino Lauri had experienced firsthand, not even having a chance to call for help.
