Chapter 506: Rekindling the Flas

"Extra! Extra! His Majesty Cassius has awakened!"

"Demons are about to invade Anzeta! Marshal Dolo issues a war mobilization!"

"The Pri Minister makes an important statent: Demons are the greatest threat to the empire at this stage. They must be eradicated to preserve the empire’s order!"

"The invincible and supre His Majesty Cassius is set to hold a military parade in the outskirts of Isthalia!"

This belief had been etched deeply into their minds, almost like an "ideological brand."

For most nations, war ant heavy taxes, brutal battles, and hardship.

But for the people of the Ember Empire—living within the heart of a war machine—war ant booming business, increased employnt, and accelerated opportunities for promotion.

To them, war was both a risk and an opportunity—one they embraced wholeheartedly.

The empire’s "Conqueror Faction" even took to the streets in jubilant marches, singing the newly composed "Song of Demon Slaughter" at the top of their lungs.

"We will slaughter all the demons!"

"We’ll strip their filthy hides and make insoles!"

"We’ll carve their horns into ornants!"

In reality, this song was simply a repurposed "Song of the Southern Conquest
