Chapter 1147: A Short-Term Peace (Part One)

The battle at the Strait of Naples changed many people’s opinions toward the new and rising Northern Region Empire.

Before, many forces believed that the Northern Region Empire existed due to Human Emperor Alexander of the North’s powerful individual strength; it was thought to be a force that was united against many people’s will.

Although such a force looked powerful and massive, its unity was low while its foundation was weak.

Many forces including the Holy Church believed that as long as they defeated the Human Emperor of the North head-on, they could instantly make this new force collapse.

However, after the battle at the Strait of Naples in which the mixed cavalry legion of the Northern Region Empire fought with the Godly Execution Knight Legion, the No.1 Cavalry Legion on the continent, people finally realized that the Northern Region Empire didn’t only have a dominating lord like the Human Emperor of the North. There were also many powerful troops and soldiers.

Golden Lion Lampard also became famous on the continent after this battle.

The Legion Commander of the Godly Execution Knight Legion was Atkinson. This silver-haired and grey-eyed knight was one of the few famous masters on the continent, and his silver lance had killed many supreme masters. However, he wasn’t able to defeat Golden Lion Lampard, shocking the world.

Through this battle, the Northern Region Empire showed a tiny bit of its strength like the tip of an iceberg.

The addition of the last 400,000 most elite soldiers of Inter Milan and AC Milan who had been through trials and tribulations as well as the four young lords such as Shaarawy made the Northern Region Empire even more powerful.

Besides, the information about the Behemoth Orc Tribe, one of the superpowers during the Mythical Era, joining the Northern Region Empire also made the continent tremble.

Starting from two years ago, other races started to appear, putting an end to the era where humans dominated the continent.

From then to now, no one has heard of any human master subduing another race.

The Human Emperor of the North became even more mysterious.

Some people even stated that Continental Martial Saint Maradona’s title ‘The Strongest Human Under the Stars’ would have to be transferred to the Human Emperor of the North.

Even more people were looking forward to the war between the Holy Church and the Northern Region Empire.

The Holy Church had completely united the Central Region, and the Juventus Empire had become its affiliated empire, losing its autonomy. Also, the Northern Region Empire reached every corner of the region. Once the war broke out between these two forces, it would mean that it would be the first conflict between two giant regions.

Such a level of chaos could be compared to the hundred-year-long war between the gods and demons in the Mythical Era.

...

However, war on that scale wouldn’t easily occur.

After the battle at the Strait of Naples, the Holy Church and the Northern Region Empire didn’t start the war as others had expected. Instead, they entered a period of stalemate.

The two forces both stationed many troops on the two sides of the Strait of Naples, preparing for the war.

Under the command of Golden Lion Lampard, the mixed cavalry legion of the Northern Region Empire that became famous after one battle was stationed at the frontline. Except for this legion, more than one million soldiers of the empire were also stationed on the frontline, rotating between the various fortresses between the Northern Region and the Central Region.
