Chapter 1386 - A Tight Power Struggle
Left, right.
Everett's eyes slowly moved over everyone in the room.
"1 day... That is all the time you have."
If they couldn't infiltrate the city by then... Heh... Well, it's best they didn't anger him.
They had to act fast before those bloody Morgs realized their actions.
Of course, the reason why they chose to take action against Omania was that even the Morgs despised the place.
Yes! It was rich in resources.
In this world, many continents were also rich with unique resources too.
But Omania's blessings were its ores.
However, just gathering enough ores to fill an entire fleet of ships would take a lot of Omanian workers and a lot of time.
That's right. The Morgs had initially intended to force the Omanians into slavery, making them do the labor.
After all, in their eyes, the Omanians were all lowlife slaves.
Why?
Because Omania looked even more down-ridden than Pyno.
Omania was ranked by them as one of the bottom continents in this world.
It was just so bad.
Maybe because the monarchs and elite groups all wore strange skirts, or perhaps it was something else... But they just looked down on them.
It can also be said that their infrastructure was very old and not 'modernized.'
It looked like they were living in a period hundreds of years in the past.
.
To be honest, if anyone back on earth saw these towering giants, the first thing that would pop into their minds would be the burly Highlanders of ancient Scotland!
And here, they called their traditional attire a Dingah.
These men had a sort of heroism in their bones, and we're very prideful, refusing to become slaves to Morgany.
The only downside was that they were very hot-headed.
And their women were also no joke as well.
The women would rather die than allow themselves to get taken away.
To die such an honorable death was truly worth some accolades.
That was the Omanian way!
Maybe because most Omanians stood together, Morgany didn't dare to act too rashly since they didn't want to send or gather almost all their resources to battle against an entirely different continent.
It wasn't like they were fighting some city or even an empire.
No!
They would be going against an entire Continent with 8 empires in it!
To do so and keep sending backup constantly... would mean that they would have to pull out all ships stationed on the seas and even recall a majority of their spies and T.O.E.P members across the world just to take down an entire continent.
And you know, one doesn't have to give the enemy any chance to climb up, so the backup would have to keep coming, maybe every 3 months or 2.
.
Honestly, if Morgany did all this, It would not only let them lose some knights/power in war, but it would also make them lose their hold on other continents and empires in the world.
Heck!
They would lose control of the high seas, causing other ambitious continents like Veinitta and Tenola to rise and reclaim the waters.
Not to mention that they already had very important projects and missions they had long been working on, so how could they drop everything for Omania?
Hello? Wasn't that madness?
The matter of the Holy core had been a big priority for hundreds and hundreds of years. So who was time for Omania?
In short, the world power will shift if they concentrate all their forces on Omania.
Morgany was able to infiltrate many regions because more than 60% of nobles and the people in those regions were somewhat willing to be bribed or used.
But the strange highland-style heroism here didn't allow the Omanians to listen to their crap.
It was better to die honorably than to live such a cowardly life.
More than 70% of the Omanians thought similarly.
Yes.
They might have issues amongst themselves and even scheme with each other.
But that didn't mean that they would allow foreigners to enslave them!
Are you crazy?
In matters concerning foreigners, they almost all stood on the same side.
Even the fact that they remained a little undeveloped in this world's era showed how stubborn they were in accepting change.
They might be ranked as one of the poorest, but the people don't think so.
They hunted creatures, had food, a roof over their heads and a claim to their own land.
So what was there to feel sad about?
They unanimously refused any forms of slavery to foreigners... Though amongst them, there were slaves of war roaming about.
They just didn't trust foreigners.
It can be said that even Landon will have difficulties after meeting these people.
To get an Omanian's trust was akin to passing an elephant through the eye of a needle.
.
That said, Morgany was more hell-bent on information gathering, slowly seeping and controlling the people with several projects and hidden organizations, making many see them similar to Gods.
But Adonis didn't roll like that.
One should recall that Adonis already had 2 continents; Lampe and Dania, under its wing.
So they were really for a full invasion, focusing on Omania, Romain and Pyno.
They had decided to start with these 3 continents and see where things led.
However, just a few months ago, back in Lampe, the leaders were shocked to find out that the teams they sent to spy on the situation returned with horrible news.
It can be said that back in the Capital, they were already making decisions to focus their entire energy on Omania now.
These Adonis followers in Omania didn't know it, but soon, they will have triple the backup they were waiting for.
If Adonis couldn't claim Pyno or Romain... Then they sure as well wouldn't give up on Omania.
Bubuum!
Everyone's heart drummed loudly, saying their goodbyes to the Kardinal.
The Holy Monkards swallowed hard.
What the hell are they waiting here for?
They better get a move on it before the Kardinal lowered the time limit any further.
Looking at their Holy Generals, everyone began to voice their commands.
"By Adonis! You all better show some real results before nightfall!"
"That's right. Though those pesky Morgs won't act in large numbers, they'll give us a headache if they catch on to our plans!"
"Listen here! I don't care if we have to work all night. But you must get into the city before this time tomorrow!"
