SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 60 World Shock

All the nobles who received Edgar's personal letter are surprised. They thought they would lose everything, but a pie is actually being offered to them. The nobles chosen by Edgar have not caused too much harm to people.

Assimilating the two kingdoms will be much faster with their help. Another reason is to subdue the armies that were not penetrated by Baynard. The commanders of those armies are members of some noble households chosen by Edgar. The subordinates of those commanders are loyal. If the nobles are subdued, those commanders will also be subdued. If those commanders insist on fighting, they will be surrounded by allied armies.

It is important to assimilate the two kingdoms before the empire can do anything that will cause chaos in the two kingdoms.The most powerful nobles receive an offer of shares, but the less powerful are offered business partnerships. Most nobles immediately agreed, afraid that Baynard would start regretting it, but the smarter nobles did not immediately agree. They are waiting to see the reaction of the Empire and how Baynard will deal with the crisis.

In the Baynard kingdom, within a mansion full of luxurious items, a man is being held by a royal guard. The man is wearing a garment for sleeping. The man has magic chains on his hands. In the hallway of the mansion are broken floors, walls, and items. There was a fierce fight. The dead bodies of enemies are lying in the hallway.

"DAMN YOU!!! Do you not know who I am?!! I am Rostas! I am a close friend of your minister Roy!! Damn ant! How dare you attack me!! You do not know the immensity of your mistake!! Your kingdom will cease to exist with just a flick of my finger!! Call Roy now!! Tell him I will destroy your kingdom if he does not give me a satisfying result!!" Furiously shouted by Rostas. His face is full of fierceness.

Rey smirked when he heard Rostas. He is standing in front of him.

Rostas' face became distorted when he saw Rey smirking. The blood vessels on his forehead are bulging because of anger.

"DAMN YOUUU!!! How dare you look down on me!" Rostas' eyes are bloodshot. He is gritting his teeth as he stares at Rey. He wants to bury his teeth in Rey's flesh and tear them to pieces.

The door in the room opened, and Roy calmly went in.

Rostas saw Roy come in. His face is still full of anger.

"You are finally here. You must give me a satisfying answer to this mess, or else I will destroy the kingdom you worked hard to build," said Rostas as he suppressed his anger. He is like a raging volcano that will explode once it finds where to vent. Rostas fiercely stared at Rey.

"Give me this man. Use this chain on him. Do it, and our friendship will still be the same as before."

Roy smiled when he heard Rostas. Rostas is bewildered when he saw Roy smiling. The blood vessels in his forehead bulge again. Rosta's face looks hideous.

"What the hell are you smiling about?!! Do you find this situation funny?!!" asked Rostas angrily.

Roy nodded while smiling. Rostas lowered his head. He suddenly lifted his head. His expression looked so fierce.

"FUCK YOUUU!!!" Rostas stares at Roy. His eyes are the same as when he stared at Rey earlier. They are eyes that want to kill.

"Unlock this chain now! Everything you have is because of me! You are nothing without me! You will be squashed like an ant without me, IDIOT!!!" shouted Rostas.

Roy put his hands behind his back as he nodded at what Rostas had said.

"That will be true if I am not pretending to be your ally and descendant of Duke George,"?said Roy calmly.

"W-what?" Rosta's mind seemed to be struck by lightning and went blank for a while. His mouth trembled as he realized what Roy had done. His body is trembling.

"Y-you p-played us," Rostas said while stuttering. He knows how rich Baynard is. He is also greedy for this kingdom. If Roy is not their ally, then the wealth of the kingdom was probably used to strengthen their power.

"H-How did I become so dumb?" thought Rostas, then he remembered that every time he talked with Roy, he was very convinced by his reasoning and blinded by the money and luxury given to him. Roy said that the wealth accumulated by Baynard is used by the Mother Queen for large-scale infrastructure in the whole kingdom, which is not harmful as Maginev will own Baynard later. He also said that the incompetent king is too extravagant to spend so much money on buying exotic items and species.

Roy was probably buying time until the kingdom was ready. He, Rostas, helped create a powerful enemy for the empire. As Rostas realized this, he lost strength and fainted.

A few hours earlier, when the three moons are still visible in the sky, on the border of Baynard Kingdom, two neat armies line up. One is on the border with Ru, while the other is in Fran. Their equipment is new. There are chariots that carry magicians and advanced equipment. There are arrow machines that could rapidly fire magic arrows. There are also large crossbows on a flat carriage. All the horses used by the army are Tundra. Baynard found a way to import them from the grassland. It is a powerful army mixed with the current and secret army.

A large fireball suddenly went up and burst into the sky.

The commanders smiled when they saw it. It is the signal of the success of the operation, and now they can safely cross the kingdom in front of them.

"Let's go! Let's defend our new territory!"

"YEAH!" All the army cheers. They feel very excited. Their kingdom conquered two kingdoms in less than one day.

The two armies crossed the border. One went to Ru, and the other went to Fran. They are escorted by the army that surrendered to Baynard. The commander of the escort army is talking and laughing together with the commander of the army of Baynard.

Twit! Twit! Messenger birds kept flying to the border of the Maginev Empire, but they were intercepted. When the message finally went through, the army of Baynard had already arrived at the strongholds on the border. They bring with them weapons and equipment that were already prepared by agents along the way. After spending time together, the strongholds are armed to the teeth.

Twit! Twit! Messenger birds kept flying. All of them are carrying shocking news. They flew everywhere. The news of the Ru and Fran kingdoms surrendering to Baynard found its way and reached the emperors, kings, and queens of many countries around the world!

"Fuck! What the hell happened?! I just napped for a few hours! How can the reign of two big kingdoms in the east change in just a few hours!" said a young king in the Allied States of the Sorranians. His eyes are sharp. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt. His skin is dark brown, his hair is long, and he is wearing golden earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. A small black snake with a green fire on its head is playing on his right hand.

"I was worrying that we might lose an important business partner in the future, but it seems Baynard is ready to confront the empire. It is still shocking that they are able to cultivate a powerful force in just a few years," said an Elven King while smiling. Their kingdom became prosperous because they traded lightstone with Baynard.

"Hahahaha, the Central Continent is more interesting than I thought!" A man with the face of a lion is standing on a huge beast while reading the information on a small piece of paper.

A woman with fair skin, long blue hair, and a veil stood on top of a crystal castle. Around the crystal castle are beautiful palaces and houses where sirens and half-sirens live. The place is surrounded by a huge, beautiful blue lake. There is a long bridge that connects the land to the city. There is a long river that connects the lake to the sea.

The woman smiles as she looks in the direction of Baynard.

"Saya, your daughters are in good hands."

She is the Queen of the Alya Empire, the most powerful magician in the world.

Emperors, kings, and queens in many countries around the world are shocked.

On the border of the Maginev empire, a severely wounded man is panting heavily. He is noticed by a soldier, who approached him.

"Halt! Who the hell are you? We are not accepting beggars here! Get out!" said the soldier with arrogance.

The Maginev agent felt like his wound became more painful when he heard the dumb soldier.

"Huff huff, I'm a spy for the empire. I have urgent information that must be given to the intelligence department," said the agent with a painful grimace on his face.

The soldier's face changed when he heard the agent. He scrutinizes the agent in front of him. He hesitated but still went and reported to his superior. He can't afford to bear the responsibility if a mistake happens.

The news from the border was sent to the capital.

On a huge cliff overlooking the capital of the Maginev Empire, a one hundred-meter-tall sculpture stands. The spear of its halberd points to the south, which shows the ambition of the empire to conquer the south. The sculpture is of the founder of the empire, Gustav I.

The capital of the Maginev Empire is huge. It has four huge silver gates. On both sides of each gate are fifty-meter-tall sculptures wearing armor and holding a spear.

Bang! Clang! Bang! Within the castle of the emperor, several broken porcelains, glasses, and chairs are scattered on the ground.

Emperor Gustav VII is throwing his favorite wares on the ground out of huge anger. His eyes are red from anger. His face looks hideous.

"How did it happen?! Why are our spies not noticing anything?! That dumb Rostas, how can he be so dumb not to notice anything?! How can he not find a powerful force hidden beneath his nose?! Our years of planning and so much spending of resources are wasted!!!" Gustav furiously shouted.

His few ministers present in the room are sweating. They are afraid to say something wrong. Their emperor could kill someone right now.

"Assemble the army! We will march toward Baynard and squash their kingdom!" said Gustav.

The ministers look at each other, then stare at the old prime minister. The prime minister notices the gazes of other ministers toward him. He wiped his sweat on his forehead, then gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, it will take time to assemble the army."?the Prime Minister cautiously said.

The emperor became silent for a while. He caressed a piece of porcelain, then suddenly smashed it to the floor. His face is still full of anger.

"Call Marshal Bartos! Tell him to teach Baynard a lesson they can never forget!"
