The Northeast Overcoming its Crisis (1)

█████████████

The explosion of four dimensional cracks.

When this fact spread to the Empire, all of the citizens were in chaos. Everyone believed that they would face the Empire's devastation if all four dimensional cracks had exploded. They expected the destruction of the Northeast and was certain that the North would also fall sooner or later.

[ The Empire is about to collapse. ]

The atmosphere in the entire Empire was so gloomy and dreary that provocative articles had started to appear in newspapers.

But a crisis was also an opportunity!

[ The Empire is about to collapse. ]

The atmosphere in the entire Empire was so gloomy and dreary that provocative articles had started to appear in newspapers.

But a crisis was also an opportunity!

The Imperial Family used this as an opportunity to gain greater power. It was the greatest opportunity for the Imperial Family since the Godly Sword and the Lion were stranded in the Northeast while Leopold, a thorn in their mouths, was also stuck in that place.

[ The nobles are looking after their own survival even when the country is about to collapse. ]

[ Did the Imperial Family abandon the North? ]

[ Central politics is rotten to the core. ]

Articles like these popped up everyday but these newspapers were nothing major and were easily buried.

However, everyone was aware that they still needed to protect the Center despite the Imperial Family being like this. If the North's collapse was inevitable, they thought that it would be best to make the Center a front and stop the monster wave as much as possible.

So, in order to buy enough time, they increased the support and supplies going to the Northeast and the North while they levied heavier taxes to establish a defense line in the Center.

"If this continues, the power of the Lions and the Godly Sword will be greatly reduced."

The Emperor and the Central nobles smiled at this thought. This was because they find the absolute power of the Godly Sword and the Lion Families to be more troublesome than the great disaster, the monster wave.

However, the Central nobles had no choice but to throw this idea out soon after.

Contrary to the scholars' conclusion that the monster wave would drive the entire Northeast to its collapse, the North and Northeast Coalition had been able to 'control' the monsters.

[ The Northeast's Hero has been born! ]

A young hero was born in the Northeast.

To the Center's dismay, the monster wave that appeared was at a 'controllable' level thanks to this unexpected hero. In addition, as if they loathed the Center for using them as a scapegoat, they let the monsters flow to the Center rather than creating a defensive line and blocking the monsters. They created fortresses and defense lines and created a 'path'. It would take time for the monsters to break through their solid fortresses and defense lines so the monsters, with the pressure of the void insects from behind them, went along the path and rushed towards the Center.
