Chapter 985 Problems Around The World

Chapter 985 Problems Around The World

??Adelstein Territory.

A gothic castle eerily stood between a large canopy of trees. The surrounding areas were damp and wild beasts ran rampant.

Within the gothic castle, Duchess Rivera sat on a hovering longsword in a bright hall, staring at a bunch of letters.

"What's with so many people visiting you lately?" The Array Master, Vannesa Brown, asked with a curious gaze.

Today, she was in Rivera's castle, hanging out with her. She was told to stay here on the days she didn't have work that the Vampire Prince gave her.

"There's problems in the society and I'm a Duchess. Of course I would have visitors during times of turmoil." Duchess Rivera said calmly while reading through the letters.

"There's barely anything useful that you can do. I wonder why so many people are paying attention to you." Vanessa bluntly gave out her honest thoughts.

"What would you know?" Rivera said calmly. "If I didn't have anything special, I wouldn't be a Duchess."

"Whatever floats your boat." Vanessa shrugged.

Rivera dismissed the letters from her hand and said to Vanessa, "I'll be going to the mainland. Are you coming?"

"Why?"

"There's some internal problems that needs to be sorted. My presence is needed." Rivera answered.

Vanessa thought about something, and asked, "Does it have something to do with the army you've been training all these years?"

A glimmer of murder flashed through her eyes. "That's right. The time has come. I'll turn the world upside-down if it's needed, but will find that bastard who—"

Duchess Rivera paused. Rationale coming back to her as she realized the thing she was about to say.

"The bastard who…?" Vanessa asked, curious.

Rivera shook her head. "Nothing. Anyway, are you coming or not? Surely you don't plan on staying in this desolate area far away from civilization, do you?"

"Yeah, I don't. I seriously hate living in this lonely place. I like people around me."

"Good. We'll leave in a few days. Prepare yourself."

…..

Evernight City, Nightingale.

High ranking horse carriages from many revered clans made their way to the Queen's district. All the nobles planned to have a meeting with the Royal Clan as the present matter was of utmost urgency.

After a few days of stay in the Queen's District, they got an official letter from the Royal Clan. It only stated one thing:

There will be no consequences for any action taken.

This roused the nobles, and immediately, a meeting was held in the Queen's District, involving all the high ranking officials.

lights??v?l ??m "Teaching a lesson to the plebeians is important." A Count put his opinion in front of the Dukes, Duchess', and other nobles.

Rivera was seated at the head chair around the long table, presiding over the meeting.

"I agree. This time they went too far." Another Count added.

Few days ago, thousands of plebes invaded the noble territories and killed, plundered a lot of resources.

Many low level nobles and even some Count Clans were wiped out. Even the women and children weren't spared.

Such cruelty was not expected from the plebes. If they had any grudge, it could be resolved with diplomacy, there was no need for a war. But now, not waging a war would mean the nobles were scared of the commoners, and this was a matter of authority. They had to take action.

"We'll give them a taste of their own medicine." A high ranking Marquis said.

"Then… If the Dukes and Duchess' have no problems…"

Rivera tapped her finger on the table and said, "I have no problem. But caution has to be taken. No one should go around killing everyone like a maniac."

"I agree with Duchess Rivera." Lara Violet, a lady with a fierce expression, stated calmly. "Our society will collapse if all the commoners die."

"Then it is decided. You are allowed to kill, but in moderation." Rivera gave her verdict and the Dukes nodded their heads in affirmation.

The rest were happy that the meeting was swiftly over and quickly left to get the things done.

Lith got the news of their meeting a day later and the things they had discussed. He merely glanced at the information and gave a command to Hecate, asking her to prepare the commoners for a full scale war.

With the matter related to the Vampire Continent at its climax, Lith focused on the other wars brewing in the world.

In the Neutral Continent, the leaping carp that had turned into a mighty dragon, the Jingmei Guild, had recently succeeded in dealing a blow to the World Adventurer's Association. It was at a low scale, but a near impossible feat they achieved nonetheless.

Missions were handed out in secret within the World Adventurer's Association to assassinate the members of Jingmei Guild. A big bounty was placed on the heads of the Guildmaster, Vice-Guildmaster, and many high ranking officials.

These missions were a secret because it may appear as the big organization bullying the small one. The small organization was adept at hiding their tracks, thus people did not know anything regarding these matters and would put all blame on the association.

The blow sent by the guild was that they had managed to steal a big chunk of profit from the association, all the while killing some of their top adventurers.

The association was bewildered. The officials within it wondered what had they done to get such a response from a small guild like that, but they chose to keep it under wraps for now.

Investigation on the guild had begun and it was just a matter of time before they were wiped out. The association never took them seriously even after the small blow they got from them.

With how things were proceeding here, a full scale war may take time to arise.

Lith shifted his focus to another area of the world, the Angel Continent.

Demons had apparently infiltrated the ranks of Angels, going as far as even invading the Heavenly Court. It was blasphemy of greatest degree, but before the demons could be punished, they killed themselves and resurrected back in the Demon Continent.

The Heavenly Emperor was not present in the court that day and it seems that the demons were waiting for such an opportunity and finally got it that day.

Since then, the Angels were on high alert. However, they lacked serious combat prowess. The Angels around coastal areas were killed by invading demons. These people were really hateful.

They began killing as many people as they could and when met with a strong opponent, they would shamelessly suicide and move away from the continent.

The Angels had enough of this crap and were preparing for a holy war. It was judgment time for them.

"Good." Lith said out loud. "There's just the Elves, Dragons, Humans, and Witches left now. I have yet to get an update on them, but with how everything's going so far…"

The corner of Lith's lips curved up. "It's going to be quite lively for the next few years."
