Chapter 240
A dragon’s roar that seemed to shake heaven and earth resounded.

Right here, where all the feudal lords of the empire had gathered, the curtain finally rose on the declaration of war.
“Take up arms, and remember that day. Remember the unification war when my empire and army trampled and burned the lands of this continent!”
The thirteen princes and princesses under the Emperor remained silent. The Chairman of the Council, the Blood-Red Count, Marquis Yuris, wore a twisted smile.
