Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later

137 Epilogue: Burial Song (2)
With that said, the assassin’s shadow stood up and strangled himself.

“Assassin from the Broken Sword Brotherhood?”

A voice echoed in that person’s ear.

The flawless expression on the person’s face instantly collapsed. His expression twisted as he said,

“Black Sword? Pfft! Are you worthy?”

“So, he’s a Broken Sword Brotherhood assassin. Your Majesty, please look away,” the voice from somewhere said.

With a crack, the person’s shadow snapped his neck.

Erin didn’t see this scene with her head turned, but she asked, “Why didn’t you leave him behind for interrogation?”

The voice replied, “Because just as no one can obtain our information from Black Sword, we can’t obtain their information either. I’m sorry… but your father was in danger because of his mistaken understanding of this.”

Erin nodded.

The Broken Sword Brotherhood was the most dangerous assassination organization in the empire. They specially targeted the royal family and the upper echelons of the Holy Spirits Church. More than half of the royal family members who had died abnormally in the past 800 years had died due to the Broken Sword Brotherhood’s assassins. Some people were even willing to believe that the remaining half had died at their hands, but their means were more concealed.

More than a month ago, Black Sword had discovered traces of the Broken Sword Brotherhood’s activities in Platinum City. Therefore, the full force of the spy department secretly launched a hunting operation. Today, Erin’s coming out to honor her ancestors eliminated the latent danger of the assassins.

“What did he mean by those words before he died? Why does he think you’re not worthy?”

Erin asked as she opened the letter.

Silence…

Black Sword was the most loyal supporter of the Riel royal family. They had been responsible for the last-meter security of the emperor ever since Terra I. However, an organization with such an important mission had always been excluded from the empire’s power system. No one knew the true scale of Black Sword, nor did anyone know how it operated, let alone its origins and history.

Even the emperor only had the authority to order the Black Sword that guarded him.

Although the Black Sword members in charge of protecting the emperor didn’t rotate regularly, they made their usual presence akin to air. Moreover, they never appeared unless in a crisis. Therefore, even the emperor wasn’t sure how often they rotated their members. Sometimes, Erin even believed that there was only one person in the entire Black Sword. The change in their voices when chatting with her was just a deliberate disguise.

It was even possible that Black Sword, who had protected the Riel royal family for the past 800 years, was the same person.

Erin’s question was equivalent to talking about Black Sword’s history, so the other party didn’t reply. Erin was already used to this, so she didn’t ask further. Instead, she looked at the two urgent letters.

To perfectly disguise himself as a herald, the two urgent letters were naturally real.

Erin first looked at the urgent letter from Emerald Province. It first briefly explained that the conversion of the land used for growing grapes into staple food had reached a bottleneck. The envoy she sent hoped that the Platinum Palace would allocate more resources to help the Forest Elves tide over this difficult period.

This matter was only sent in passing. It wasn’t anything urgent. They could just discuss it at the Senate meeting.

What was important was the subsequent matter.

The empire’s Second Legion’s fleet had already gathered at White Goose Port in Emerald Province, and the Fifth and Seventh Legion’s fleets were gathering at Greenwater Port. Platinum Ring and the Astral Council’s combat division had already built a stable portal, and the Holy Spirits Church’s Holy Army was also on its way to Emerald Province.

The military strength ratio of the empire’s expeditionary army and Ava State’s garrison was about 5 to 1. In terms of high-end combat strength, the empire had countless Legendary domain experts. The Astral Council, Platinum Ring, and the Holy Spirits Church each sent two Divine Realm experts to participate.

On paper, this was a military force that could flatten the entire Ava State.

Let’s hope that such a disparity in strength can make the other party surrender and submit early to minimize the sacrifices of both sides…

Putting down the letter, Erin thought before opening the urgent letter from Blackwater Province.

In comparison, the content of this letter was a little ridiculous.

The first thing Erin flipped open was that the blight spreading in Blackwater Province had been delayed.

This made her question reality.

The Blackwater Province, which has been designated a land abandoned by the constellations as a Moon Realm sacrifice, managed to alleviate the problem of the blight during the Year of Starvation?

Could the dark gods in the stars be such merciful existences?

With this in mind, Erin continued reading.

Compared to the subsequent content, the delay in the blight seemed to be the most normal piece of information.

Vincent, the former Chief Mage of Thorn City, regained control of the entire Blackwater Swamp. He even controlled many areas in Nakuland.

It was said that he had even bypassed the restrictions of the Astral Laws and advanced to the Legendary domain. God knew how he did it.
