209: Various forces on the mainland

After finishing what they had heard, Doria continued to ask the question in her heart:

"Brother Arthur, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Arthur looked at the curious gazes of Karona, Olivia, and Doria, deliberately delaying for a long time!

It was not until The three women couldn't help but hit him that he said:

"Since the Heine Kingdom dared to attack us, they naturally have to pay the price. I accomplished this with the help of the Mutual Aid Society. It is enough for you to know, do not spread it!"

"Rest assured, we won't. We are not that stupid!"

"The one I worry about most is you, Doria!"

"I wouldn't! If you don't believe me, ask Karona and Sister Olivia. You have had so many things happen before, and I haven't told anyone about them!"

Speaking of this, Doria's cute little face puffed up. It seemed she was quite unconvinced by Arthur's lack of trust in her.

"Alright, alright, I believe you!"

Arthur was naturally joking; he was just teasing Doria. Seeing that her face had puffed up, he quickly comforted her.

After getting the accurate answer, compared to Doria who was merely amazed,

Karona and Olivia, while amazed, felt their feelings for Arthur deepen, with even a faint sense of admiration.

After all, a man who could grant them Legendary strength and mobilize five Legendary Silver Dragons to destroy a country was rare in the entire Continent of Gods!

Let alone someone as young as Arthur, which made it even rarer. How could this not make the two women fall in love with him?

Arthur also saw the passionate gazes of Karona and Olivia. A strong sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart, and a faint smile could not help but appear on his face!

...

In contrast to the harmonious scene with Arthur and his group, the entire Continent of Gods was in an uproar over the destruction of the Heine Kingdom!

Unlike the Kate Kingdom, which was located in a remote area, the Heine Kingdom not only had a considerable reputation on the continent but was also far more powerful than the Kate Kingdom.

Therefore, although both had been destroyed, their impact was vastly different.

Various kingdoms with strength similar to or weaker than the Heine Kingdom were terrified, fearing they would be the next unlucky ones!

After all, they had never heard of the Heine Kingdom secretly hunting Dragons!

It wouldn't matter if one kingdom didn't know, but if all the kingdoms didn't know, that was not normal!

You must know that there were spies and moles between their various kingdoms; if none of them knew, it meant that this matter was likely not true!

This also meant that the disaster of the Silver Dragon was likely a random event. How could it not cause panic among everyone?

As the Sect Master of the Heine Kingdom, the Thunder Empire also attached great importance to this matter. After all, their most valued little brother had been killed, so they had to show something!

Otherwise, wouldn't the taxes paid by other kingdoms every year be in vain? If this matter was not investigated clearly, it would be difficult to collect money in the future!

It should be noted here that there are currently three major Empires on the Continent of Gods: the Thunder Empire, the Dawn Empire, and the Southern Federation United Empire!

And because humanity is the strongest, humans now occupy the most fertile central location of the continent.

That is, the center of the continent, and then all the way to the southern coast and the southeastern coastal areas are all human territory.

Among them, the Southern Federation United Empire is located in the south of the area occupied by humans; the Dawn Empire is located in the north of the area occupied by humans; and the Thunder Empire is located in the east of the area occupied by humans.

Besides humans, the west of the continent is the Elf Forest where Elves reside, the northwest is the Kentia Mountains of the Dwarves, and the east to the northeast is the Goldo Grassland where Orcs reside.

Of course, what was mentioned above are just some of the powerful races on the continent; minority races like Goblins and Ogres are distributed all over the continent!

Arthur's Doreen Peninsula is located in the southeast direction of the Continent of Gods, so not far to its north is the Goldo Plain of the Orcs!

Back to the three major Empires.

Among them, the Thunder Empire is the most powerful, while the strength of the Dawn Empire and the Southern Federation United Empire is roughly the same.

The Thunder Empire and the Dawn Empire are both traditional feudal states. The reason why the Thunder Empire is more powerful

is because after the gods disappeared, the situation where theocratic power originally overrode royal power in various countries was no longer suitable for the current situation!

The Thunder Empire quickly eliminated the theocratic power within the country, thereby greatly preserving its national strength!

The Dawn Empire is different; the royal family and the church within it constantly fought, greatly consuming national strength.

Even though the royal family eventually won, the overall strength of the country inevitably declined!

As for the Southern Federation United Empire, it is somewhat different from the other two Empires.

It is an Empire formed by the union of many southern kingdoms to resist the annexation of the Thunder Empire and the Dawn Empire!

Speaking of the present, the three major Empires have many vassal states under their command, which are the various kingdoms.

Kingdoms like the Lionheart Kingdom, the Lia Kingdom, the Haimo Kingdom, and the Heine Kingdom are all vassal states of the Thunder Empire, and they need to pay 100 million in taxes to the Thunder Empire every year.

Correspondingly, the Thunder Empire also needs to ensure the safety of these countries to a certain extent.

Of course, this is on the surface. Many kingdoms are caught in the cracks between the three major Empires, and their greater function is to act as a buffer.

To prevent the Empires from easily starting wars!

Although it is only on the surface, now that the Heine Kingdom has been destroyed for no reason, as the big brother on the surface, the Thunder Empire still has to put on a show and investigate.

After all, this is also a slap in their face!

To show importance, or rather, the strength of the five Legendary Silver Dragons was too powerful!

Sending a Legendary Expert would be like sending them to their deaths. The Thunder Empire finally exceeded everyone's expectations and actually sent a Demigod Expert to the Heine Kingdom to investigate.

The next afternoon, they were sent over, and it was even widely publicized.

As if saying, "Look, the gold coins your kingdoms paid before were not in vain; our Thunder Empire is still very responsible."

Arthur did not care about this.

Because the matter of Felipe intercepting and killing him on the way was known to only a handful of people even in the Heine Kingdom, and they were all the true top brass.

Those people had all been killed by Arthur and the Silver Dragons under his command.

The reason Arthur was so sure was because when he killed Felipe, he had performed a soul search, so he was not panicked at all now.

A mere Demigod Expert could not find any clues at all.

Therefore, Arthur was still playing normally, and others could not tell at all that he was the real culprit behind the destruction of the Heine Kingdom.

...

Heine Kingdom.

Due to the destruction of the top brass, the Heine Kingdom was now on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the Thunder Empire expressing concern about this matter and sending a Demigod Expert down to investigate,

it is estimated that the neighboring kingdoms would have already started a war against the Heine Kingdom.

After learning that the Thunder Empire was going to send a Demigod Expert to investigate, the two Legendary Experts within the two remaining dukedoms of the Heine Kingdom immediately rushed to the capital, preparing to receive them.
