Chapter 163: Big Deal V
After the meeting with the Empress, Bahamut and Bertina stepped out.
The overall progress plan and outline of what was to come were complete, leaving only fine-tuning.
Their task was to stir dissatisfaction against the Holy Church, creating division and confusion among the nations of the Continent.
This goal could be achieved relatively easily if the Sakiel Knights, currently under the leadership of the Beden Merchant Company, along with indebted monarchs, were utilized effectively. The necessary funds would be supplied by the Dragona Empire.
‘This war revealed how difficult it is to break the continental states from the outside. That’s why this time, I’ll create a rift from within.’
As Bahamut understood the Empress’s intentions, he made his way to the inn.
Walking beside him, Bertina was lost in her thoughts as well.
‘Chaos across the Continent… If this plan unfolds smoothly, the Beden Merchant Company and Uranus will profit greatly.’
The monarchs of various nations, already burdened with astronomical debts from the last war, would face dire consequences if they failed to repay on time. This would allow the merchant companies to demand debt collection from entire countries.
