Chapter 136 - Eastern Empire

136. Eastern Empire

The Eastern Empire.

One of the oldest countries.

It’s official name is Sovereign Alliance of the Naska-namrium Ulmeria Empires. (SAN-NUE)[1]

People say that it has been two thousand years since the records first speak of nations managed by San-nue .

Managed under its overwhelming strength.

And for two thousand years, San-nue did not allow a single rebellion to go unpunished.

Under its sole emperor, Ludora Nam Ul Naska.

Who ruled with an iron fist.

And thus the empire eventually came to be called simple Eastern Empire.

Eastern Empire is a homogenous state.

They rule through power, conquer and pillage, complete battle maniacs.

Their only creed [Power is Everything] allows anyone to achieve greatness as long as they are powerful.

There’s only one reason why this empire has yet to invade the Jura forest–they are in the middle of preparations.

Three-hundred fifty years ago, they attempted to subjugate Veldora and lost a city because of it. A whimsical dragon destroyed it before they could as much as regret.

Around a hundred thousand lives were lost that day, and that was a city fortified to be the gateway for invading the forest. They have built it up over a hundred years.

“Build up your forces, conquer that forest, and expand our dominion.” That was the Empire’s burning wish since then.

Expand beyond the Jura forest–their failures pained them for a hundred years.

But why would a country as bountiful as the Empire need to expand?

Only because the Emperor wanted it to be so.

That was the only reason, but no one complained.

And as the invasion plan progressed, the Empire build up its forces and weapons.

And hundreds of years ago they announced its invasion plan.

Who would have thought that a single foolish idea that commanders had would cause that plan to crumble?

The forest needs a master. Those lizards are no threat to us!

This foolish thought let them to their doom.

They hardly know what actually happened. The books, the record keepers, and anyone who knew was reduced to ash.

Their dreams, their ambitions, were reduced to ash.

And time passed.

The Empire continued with an additional creed: “Never invade Jura Forest.”

Veldora’s anger left it’s scars; his power revealed how wide the world really is; the Empire could never as much consider an invasion.

There were those who resented Veldora, but not one of them would disobey a superior–each of whom forbid an invasion.

As such, voices of young warhawks never reached the upper echelons. As such, the army solidified even further, regaining control superior to before the invasion.

They could not allow the second invasion to fail.

For them, this was an opportunity to prove their loyalty to their Empire.
