Chapter 834: Chapter 309 Great Changes in the Imperial City (Two-in-One Chapter)_3
At present, it is still unknown.
But judging by the threefold enhancent from ‘junior level’, Rein estimates that ‘interdiate extraordinary understanding’ is likely to boost by more than sixfold.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Rein’s thoughts.
Rein opened the door and saw Olena standing outside.
However, unlike her usual shrewd and capable deanor, she now seed anxious and dejected.
This surprised Rein a bit; could it be due to the recent attack incident?
“Lady Olena.”
“Lord Rein, Admiral Edward hopes you can imdiately attend an ergency eting,” Olena forced a smile and said.
“Alright, let’s go right now.” Rein nodded, his face turning serious.
Clearly, the Sword Bearers Branch must have received so rather important or not-so-good news.
While walking, Rein couldn’t help but ask, “Lady Olena, what is the main topic of the eting…”
“Admiral Edward just received a red crystal transmission,” Olena pondered for a mont and said.
“Red crystal transmission?” Rein appeared surprised, not knowing what such a communication level represented.
“Yes, it’s the highest level of transmission for the branch.”
“It’s also a thod to receive transmissions in real ti from the Imperial City Tamriel, but it requires consuming a special crystal stone, usually not easily activated.”
“As for the content, apologies, Lord Rein, the red crystal is set in Admiral Edward’s office, so I’m not entirely sure of the details, but… it won’t be good news,” Olena explained.
Rein nodded.
It seems this red crystal transmission is sowhat analogous to the red phone in the office of a provincial official from previous lives.
This made his heart tremble, with an implicit sense of foreboding.
“eting attendees include Diamond Star Swordman Captains like you and heads of various departnts within the branch…” Olena said while walking with Rein.
Soon, the two arrived at the large conference room located on the top floor of the administration building.
By this ti, the elliptical conference table was almost full.
Central was Admiral Edward, flanked by departnt heads including Yumaz from the task hall and Major General Stanley, Admiral Edward’s secretary.
Everyone’s expressions were solemn, and the atmosphere in the hall was heavy.
Seeing Rein enter, Admiral Edward nodded at him.
Guided by Olena, Rein sat next to a burly man.
“Ladies and gentlen, almost everyone is here; we are now convening an ergency eting.” Admiral Edward said after glancing around.
“I just received news from the Imperial City Tamriel… very bad news.” At this point, Admiral Edward paused.
“Our great Emperor, at a critical mont of ascending to demigod status, was ambushed by avatars of several foreign deities. Although the Imperial Guardians did their utmost to fend them off, the Emperor was severely injured.”
“Now, the Dragan Empire has fully entered Level 1 war readiness!”
As Admiral Edward finished speaking, the conference room fell into complete silence for several seconds!
But then, it erupted into a flurry.
“What!”
“Ascending to demigod?”
“Emperor severely injured?”
“This…”
Clearly, the few sentences uttered by Admiral Edward contained an enormous amount of information.
Although everyone present were middle to senior mbers of the Sword Holder Minter Branch, they understood the implications of the Empire Emperor being severely injured for the entire Dragan Empire!
The recent news was no less impactful than a bolt from the blue!
And Rein was also taken aback!
But he soon cald down and quickly connected so dots.
‘No wonder Prince nia unexpectedly abandoned the advantageous situation of severely injuring the Magic-tailed Three-headed Sea Dragon to return imdiately to the Imperial City.’
‘Turns out, the Emperor was ascending to demigod status….’
“The attackers were avatars of outer gods?”
Although Rein wasn’t clear on how much stronger an avatar is compared to a projection, it was obviously much stronger.
But with a bit of thought, one could understand that being able to injure the even more powerful Emperor under the defense of imnsely strong Imperial Guardians like Prince nia, the divine incarnation’s strength must be at least epic level, if not higher!
‘Looks like I need to expedite my strength enhancent efforts, even quicker!’
‘I must quickly shift to the epic level profession “King of Thousand Blades”‘
‘Once back, I’ll invest more in the talent “Extraordinary Understanding”‘
‘If the situation further deteriorates, the Empire in turmoil may hardly remain a reliable shelter as a towering tree….’
“In that case, the only reliance will be myself!”
…
“Silence!” Admiral Edward commanded loudly, exuding authority.
Imdiately, the noisy conference room gradually quieted down.
“Ladies and gentlen, a small fortune amidst misfortune, the Empire Emperor was severely injured after ascending to demigod status.”
“Moreover, news from Tamriel states that those divine incarnations all perished in the Imperial Palace. Even for a high-grade presence across, losing an incarnation isn’t an effortless affair.”
“So, the situation isn’t as dire as imagined by everyone.”
“But still….”
“The Emperor needs ti to recover, and though these Evil Gods are gradually awakening, they too need ti to recover.”
Upon hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet Rein continued to furrow his brows.
Because he understood very clearly, Admiral Edward’s speech was essentially a strategic optimism.
