From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 440 The Power of Single-Digit Forbidden Rare Artifacts

Marshal Horatio's study was the largest area in the manor, with various books piled up like mountains. Though not neatly arranged, they were covered in labels.

"Would you like coffee or tea?"

Darren pondered for a moment, then said with a smile,

"Hmm, I'll choose tea."

Marshal Horatio nodded gently and waved his hand; soon, an alchemical fairy appeared, carrying tea and coffee which it handed to Darren and him respectively.

"Let's continue then."

In the study, Marshal Horatio discussed in the time that followed the detailed issues concerning the Lorne Empire aiding the Cyart.

Firstly, one point was completely confirmed.

The Lorne Empire would not directly deploy any soldiers or Extraordinary Exponents in the war, because such an action would likely provoke the Seven Suns Empire People to enter the fray directly, ultimately leading to an even larger scale conflict.

"The empire just ended a major war and is not yet prepared for another, and if we were to battle the Seven Suns Empire People in the East, where the Gods are limited and Heavenly Enlightenment cannot appear, the ultimate direction of the war would be very complex. Lorne certainly does not want to take such a huge risk,"

"But apart from not sending troops directly, Lorne Empire will provide a significant portion of support, whether it be food, medicine, money, or various Extraordinary materials and alchemy tools, to Cyart."

Marshal Horatio paused, then continued expressionlessly,

"To be more direct, it is to be given to your Fischer family... but the Fischer family must also provide certain assurances, I need you to establish an 'oath' for the empire."

"If you can defeat the enemy in the war, you must return more to Lorne over the next ten years."

Darren listened silently, without objection, while Marshal Horatio emphasized one particular matter.

"Especially those unique resources only found in the Eastern Four Kingdoms, which were controlled by the Seven Suns Empire People and thus became expensive. But if you gain significant influence in the Eastern Four Kingdoms, Lorne would like to obtain them at lower prices."

"I completely understand."

Darren nodded lightly; he knew all too well that Lorne citizens were not philanthropists by any means; they were essentially a group of ruthless devils, and in fact, the Fischer family was making a deal with the devil.

But these were profitable transactions... and if the Cyart people lost in the war, everything would be utterly nullified, with nothing left to say.

Such an outcome was absolutely unacceptable to him!

After all the detailed issues were discussed, both parties established the 'oath', and then Darren left the manor with a leisurely demeanor.

Marshal Horatio thought deeply.

"He is very confident, as if Cyart truly has a chance to defeat two countries and most of Vallere united against them."

"How could that be possible?"

He shook his head lightly, knowing deep down it was an impossibility!

The total number of Cyart's powerful Monarch experts was much less than that of the three countries combined. Even though several Vallere Extraordinary experts were still Lorne puppets, they were a minority.

Even though the strength of ordinary human armies had grown stronger over the years, the outcome of the battlefield was still ultimately decided by the incredibly powerful Extraordinary experts, which everyone internally agreed upon.

"Facing three with one... Cyart's chance of winning exists only in theory."

Based on multiple intelligence summaries, Marshal Horatio had reason to believe that both the Carnian and Rhea people planned to invest all their efforts to completely erase Cyart from the map!

The annihilation of the Cyart people was almost inevitable!

"However, I don't really care."

Marshal Horatio's gaze was extremely cold; he did not care even slightly about the life or death of the Cyart people, even if millions turned into skeletons.

"You just need to drag those countries into a Hell-like quagmire before being completely destroyed, causing the support from behind on the part of the Seven Suns Empire People to bleed heavily without gaining too many benefits; that would be considered mission accomplished."

"Complete the mission for the empire, then die gloriously, Fischers."

Darren quickly returned to Cyart from Lorne.

To save time in between, he chose to directly use Flight ability to return to Cyart instead of taking a train and soon received information from Black Tide members... The other three nations, Rhea, Vallere, and Carnia, within the Eastern Four Kingdoms were all mobilizing. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

"As expected, just as predicted."

Resources and troops were constantly being mobilized, vast numbers of Carnia Army and ordinary Vallere armies, along with numerous powerful Extraordinary experts, had all arrived at the Rhea border, beginning to converge with many Rhea people.

Fortunately, in the time since Darren left, Christine and others had also arranged all aspects of Cyart's mobilization, whether on land or at sea; Cyart was mobilizing comprehensively.

Darren soon sacrificed the "Box of Illusion" to the great Lord of the Lost!

He was very excited.

Although the Fischer family obtained a large number of Forbidden rare artifacts, no matter what, the powers of those Forbidden rare artifacts generally did not compare to the "Box of Illusion".

Forbidden rare artifacts in double digits were extremely precious!

"The 'lamp cover' section previously taken away by Marquis Vlad has finally been obtained, just missing the last component. If all parts can be acquired, it could be combined into a single-digit Forbidden rare artifact..."
