Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 181

Episode 181:

People had hoped that the festival, including the hero’s welcome, would last a little longer, but it couldn’t happen.

The Empire’s announced cooperation with Solari was tantamount to a declaration of war against the Luna Church.

A fight over who is the true owner of the continent.

With the huge war that would inevitably come, people might have hoped that the festival would never end.

However, such a complacent attitude was never helpful in the war.

In the past, the nobles of the continent were having a hard time deciding which line to take between the two powers that were tightly fighting against each other.

The Luna Church has maintained the top position on the continent for a long time.

And by uncovering the incompetence and evil deeds of the Luna Church, the newly revived Solari Church and the Freud Empire that supports it.

Although it may seem strange for the same people to point their swords at each other even after successfully subduing the Demon Lord, it was not that strange in this world.

Religious ideology played a large part in the lives of people here.

In addition, there were many nobles who tried to take advantage of the confusion.

They are people who want war even if they do not express it outwardly.

Because war was an opportunity to make money and quickly obtain a title.

Among the continent’s nobles with different views, those who had a strong belief in Luna regarded Solari as a heretic and were also hostile to the empire that sided with him.

Because of this, opinions were divided even within the empire, and eventually most of the empire’s citizens turned against Luna.

They raised their voices saying that they could not entrust their safety to the incompetence of the Luna Church.

The final battle for continental supremacy is now just around the corner.

Avalon Palace was also holding a heated meeting.

“The Luna Church’s actions are unusual. your majesty.”

Among the dozens of nobles gathered in front of Emperor Freud, a man with a large stature and a fierce appearance spoke.

He was Duke Dalimus, lord of the Duke of Bertio.

“The troops of countries that have the Luna Church as their religious state are also rapidly gathering around the central continent and the east.”

“It is said that private soldiers from the territories are also moving. If the Luna Church orders mobilization, we will be late.”

Nobles who listen to Dalimus.

These were all great nobles who swore allegiance to the Empire and agreed to accept the doctrines of the new Solari.

Their position was simple.

Since the Luna Church is showing signs of preparing for war, the Empire should also prepare for this.

However, there were also nobles who opposed this.

“Do you really think the Luna Church will start a war? Just because Solari is a thorn in your side?”

The position of the Luna Church, which did not play much of an active role in this eastern part of the country.

However, it was clear that the Luna Church had taken the lead in protecting the continent over the past thousand years.

That’s why some nobles were hesitant to confront the Luna Church’s response.

However, this happened because most nobles had limited information about Kaleina of the Luna Church.

“The current Luna Church is no longer the guardian of peace we knew.”

Dalimus, who knew the information closest to the truth, looked around at everyone and opened his mouth.

“They are no longer interested in protecting the continent. “I don’t know what I’ll do to maintain the glory I’ve enjoyed so far.”

“Are you saying that you are willing to go to war because you are afraid of losing your position to the Solari?”

“If you were a saint of the Luna Church, that would be enough. She is using this opportunity to take down not only the Great War of Solari, but also the Empire. “So that you never go against your authority again.”

A lion’s voice filled with majesty.

At the words of Dalimus, who was called the king of the East, and not other nobles, all the nobles who were unwilling to go to war kept silent.

Even if the Luna Church is not going to invade the empire with its troops right away, it is definitely necessary to prepare to fight it.

“What are you going to do? your majesty.”

“Hmm…”

The emperor was lost in thought at the question of Gunther next to him.

In any case, the cooperation with Dio was carried out with an all-out war against the Luna Church in mind.

However, unless the Luna Church has directly invaded the empire, making the first move is something that needs to be considered carefully.

Because the world is still unaware of the Luna Church’s ambitions.

‘As long as the Luna Church is mobilizing the lords’ private armies, we won’t be able to sit still.’

Keeping the Luna Church in check did not end with deploying troops only to Atra, the church’s capital.

The forces of the Luna Church spread throughout the continent.

And the empire was located in the central continent, in the middle of the continent.

If you watch and act from the Luna Church’s movements here, the Luna Church’s troops could easily surround the empire.

In order for that to not happen, the empire had to embrace or subdue other regional countries through diplomacy or force.

“Then…”

The moment when the emperor was trying to decide what to do with the Luna Church in the future and the direction the empire should take.

Suddenly,

the entire Avalon Palace began to shake, and all the nobles sitting in their seats stood up in surprise.

“What’s going on?”

Unlike the nobles who were frightened by the sudden earthquake, Gunther remained calm and approached the window.

“Look over there!”

Several nobles, including Gunther, were embarrassed and pointed their fingers at what was happening outside the window.

The emperor also moved his gaze in the direction pointed by the nobles and opened his mouth wide at the unbelievable situation that followed.

Whoosh!

An imperial garden filled with both luxury and grandeur.

Not only were the flower beds decorating the garden falling into the ground, but the statues that the empire had built to commemorate previous emperors also began to collapse.

“The imperial garden…!”

“What the hell is going on?”

“Could it be that the saint has already made a move!?”

Did someone attack Avalon Palace, where the emperor resides?

People could not easily accept this ridiculous situation.

It was impossible to breach the defenses of this place, which were guarded by the best wizards and knights on the continent.

However, the emperor, watching the situation through the window, soon found out.

Shut up!

It wasn’t that someone had broken into the ecliptic.

That the gigantic ‘life’ that broke through the ground is the owner of this land that existed before the founding of the empire.

“What is that?”

“oh my god. Could that be…?”

People were astonished by the appearance of a dragon in the middle of the imperial palace.

The dragon that made a mess of the garden flew high into the sky without any hesitation.

-Kaooooo!

The roar of a dragon that appears with its back to the sun.

The people were startled and panicked, not knowing what to do, and Gunther looked at the emperor who was silently putting his hand on his forehead.

“Your Majesty! That must be…!”

“her!”

A suspicious space buried beneath the empire.

This is a secret that is not known except to the emperor and a few close associates such as Gunther.

Even if it is a secret, it is an empty space with nothing except a dragon statue.

The emperor finally found out.

This is why our ancestors told us to keep the space where only dragon statues exist a secret.

“It’s a dragon! “That’s definitely a dragon!”

“Nonsense! “I thought it was just an illusion from an old story!”

Each nobleman who saw the dragon shouted.

The dragon flaps its wings leisurely in the sky and looks down for a moment.

As a result, people were afraid that the dragon would spew fire from its mouth like in fairy tales, but such a disaster did not happen.

Cry –

The dragon flapped its huge wings and let out a snort, then turned around and began to fly higher and higher.

The brilliant silver scales reflect the sun and sparkle even more.

The emperor assured himself as he watched the dragon’s back move away in an instant with just a few flaps of its wings.

A dragon that has been sleeping in the form of a stone statue under the Empire for a long time.

That dragon is the secret of the empire that even the emperor did not know about.

“Did you just see it? “There was someone riding on my back!”

“I saw it too. “It seemed like it wasn’t just one person.”

The emperor came to his senses as the nobles murmured.

The reason why the dragon, which had been sleeping peacefully until now, woke up.

The emperor was the only one among those gathered here who knew the reason.

‘Was the dragon waiting for him?’

The emperor thought of Dio, who casually knew about the secret space.

So the emperor became even more confused.

It was definitely not a coincidence that Dio woke up the dragon.

A secret space hidden beneath the empire, and that the stone statue with the shape of a dragon is a real dragon.

The explanation that Solari, who knew all about this, sent Dio to awaken the dragon… was the most suitable story for the Emperor to understand.

‘A dragon hidden under the Empire’s protection…maybe the relationship between the Solari and the Empire is not an ordinary partnership.’

Because the dragon flew into the sky and left quickly, the face of the person riding on its back could not be clearly seen.

But the emperor knew that it was Dio, so he winked at Gunther.

“As your Majesty expected, Dio is correct. And then I got a call from him. What should I do?”

Gunther carefully approached the emperor, avoiding the eyes of the other nobles, and took out the sparkling crystal ball in his arms.

This communication crystal ball was a top-class artifact that allowed quick contact with Dio.

Gunther had also delivered a crystal ball to Dio because there was a need to communicate in unexpected situations like now.

It certainly seemed like they had contacted me right away regarding the dragon.

“okay. I talk directly. You conclude the meeting. “It’s about gathering the army.”

“All right.”

Leaving behind Gunther’s silent bow, the emperor handed over the crystal ball to him and quickly left Avalon Palace.

-Ah, can you hear me? your majesty.

As soon as the Emperor activated the crystal ball’s signal, Dio’s voice was heard.

“What on earth happened to you?”

-Haha, are you very surprised?

“That’s what you call a Genga Dragon! If something like this had happened, you should have told me a long time ago!

-sorry. The dragon has just awakened and seems to be having a hard time controlling it.

“Something like something out of a fairy tale is happening… Are you really a warrior?

The emperor let out a hollow laugh at Dio’s carefree report.

A warrior who rides a dragon.

The emperor’s heart began to pound once again at the sight of Dio’s appearance, which was completely different from the one he had seen in the banquet hall.

If you ask Dio, wouldn’t it be possible for you to ride a dragon and fly through the sky?

An imagination unbecoming of an emperor.

The dragon’s appearance was such a unique experience that it turned even the emperor into a child.

Dio, who had no way of knowing how the emperor felt, continued calmly.

Because in Dio’s memories, the emperor was mature.

-Now that I have awakened the dragon, I will take a day to go to the West.

“West? What’s going on there?

The Emperor suddenly came to his senses when Dio said that he would travel to the West and return across the continent while hanging on a dragon.

Dio just smiled and said his last words.

-I have something to resolve quickly. I’ll be back soon.
