The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

The nobles of Castile had no idea what was happening on the other continent.

The phantom of a demon god, the white light that destroyed the world—it was just another storm on the Sea of ​​Impermanence. The continent of Solon was not affected much at all.

In the eyes of some Castilian nobles, the reason Avar hadn't conquered the continent of Mu, which didn't possess super-level magic, was simply because crossing the sea was too difficult and they couldn't deploy enough troops.

Now, most of the dragons on the continent of Soron are helping the Avars escort the ships—and these are the Avars and dragons!

If dragons were to help the Avars conquer the continent of Sauron as they would escort them, nations like Castile would have ceased to exist long ago. And now, the Avars and dragons have indeed joined forces and are heading to the continent of Mu together.

Even though the number of people crossing the sea was limited, these nobles had already come into contact with the demons and knew that on the continent of Mu, there was also a race called the demons and a country called Anjou that were cooperating with the Avars. So it was only a matter of time before they conquered the continent of Mu.

So what if they're elves? Can they defeat dragons? Can they withstand super-level magic?

These nobles arbitrarily replaced the war mode of the Mu continent with the super-level magic combat mode of the Soren continent. Therefore, even if the Mu continent, which does not have super-level magic, is strong, it will be difficult to resist the invasion of dragons and Avars.

That's a giant dragon!

Of course, some nobles felt that the continent of Mu would not be so easily conquered, but their basis was only legends and ancient texts, which was far less direct than the other faction's display of a giant dragon.

Moreover, even those who believe that the Mu Continent will not be easily conquered only believe that it will not be easily conquered.

After all, Castile didn't know the fighting strength of the elves, but he had experienced the fighting strength of the dragons.

Furthermore, the description of Capet's combat strength in the letter sent by the Grey Robe was not intuitive and there were large gaps in the text. For example, the defense of the royal city was completely missing. As a result, Lind's image became very strange, like a schemer who only knew how to speculate and profiteer. And this was in the Grey Robe's letter, which described the most prosperous country on the continent of Mu.

Therefore, Castile made a serious misjudgment of the situation on the continent of Mu.

As for why those Sauron dragons didn't fly back? They must have already conquered the land and settled down on the rich continent of Mu.

Some nobles even felt that the situation on the Mu Continent was already over!

Of course, these nobles were right; the war on the Mu continent had indeed ended.

So after the Grey Robe's letter from across the sea reached Castile, these nobles, who already had close ties with the Avars, began to take action.

Your Majesty, surrender! Cooperate with the Avars! If you surrender now, you can at least get a share of the spoils. From now on, we'll all be the Avars' dogs.

Of course, surrender is an art. Who surrenders, how to surrender, in what manner, and how to present surrender as cooperation—there are many intricacies involved. These nobles had another big argument over this.

In reality, Avar is already very weak from deploying troops to the Mu continent. Moreover, there are not many dragons left on the Soron continent. Apart from the fact that Avar's wealth has reached its peak due to previous maritime trade and the help of the demons to amass wealth, its actual combat capability is probably at its weakest point in history.

However, Castile declined even more, especially since Castile had to confront Avar directly to barely maintain unity. If Avar were to suddenly disappear, Castile would be fighting amongst itself.

Of course, even if Avar hasn't vanished yet, Castile is already on the verge of collapse.

The demons' methods of amassing wealth were not limited to Avar's territory; these demons also roamed into the lands of Castile.

Because of their innate talent for boasting, coupled with a touch of sob story, these demons quickly became known as nobles and were treated with hospitality by the Castilian nobility.

After all, bloodline magic looks very intimidating.

These demons, of course, were not going to do anything worthwhile. Soon, all the methods that Cape could and could not use were employed within Castile. After these days of cultivation, the demons' unscrupulous methods of accumulating wealth had begun to show results. In fact, the demons had surpassed the minor nobles and become the biggest creditors of the peasants and workers in Castile, becoming a new force in Castile and other surrounding countries.

In contrast, the peasants who had been exploited to the point of desperation finally broke out into an uprising. However, unlike the uprising led by Capet, these rebels not only lacked a steadfast leader, but also failed to establish a base. Most of the leaders were recruited or bought by the demons halfway through the fighting, and instead became their lackeys.

After all, it was practically impossible for these lower-class people who knew nothing about magic to defeat those noble lords. Most uprisings could be suppressed by just one or two professionals, and they couldn't cause any real trouble. It was actually quite good if they could earn some income.

The Castilian nobles, preoccupied with their internal strife, were completely oblivious to this situation, or perhaps they were aware but didn't care. After all, the demons were few in number and posed no threat whatsoever. Nobles remained nobles, and peasants remained peasants. The demons even sponsored the nobles' "great cause," and the peasants they recruited were instead sponsored by the demons to become the armies under these nobles.

Who could possibly dislike a demon like that?

However, Castile is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were to collapse into several small countries in an instant.

Of course, it wasn't just Castile that was in chaos; the surrounding countries were also suffering. The anti-Avar alliance was practically defunct, and everyone had some connection with the Avars.

The nobles whom González VI met in one day, and the princes and princesses they sponsored, almost all shared similar opinions with Garcia. They were essentially the same thing in different guises, with the only difference being how to cooperate with the Avars and get a share of the profits in the next trade with the Mu continent.

González could sense that if he didn't yield, he might lose his title as king.

Although the trade fleets to the continent of Mu hadn't come for a long time, most nobles believed that the dragons and the Avars had already established their own kingdoms on the rich continent of Mu and had no intention of returning. After all, how could the dragons possibly lose? So the nobles on the continent of Soron didn't notice anything amiss and were still discussing what new and exciting goods would arrive on the next batch of ships, even fantasizing about whether they could have their own territory on the continent of Mu after cooperating with the Avars.

Even within this fantasy, the Castilians had already envisioned the basic prototype of a colony.

At that very moment, in the port of Castile, Daniel was washed ashore.
