Chapter 932: Os Empire
The Os Empire, a powerful inland country in Middle-earth.
Although it is a landlocked country, because the first and third largest rivers in Middle-earth pass through the Oss Empire, coupled with its own vast waterways and excavated canals, its waterway hub is also quite developed, and the empire's merchant ships can directly enter the seaport along the two major waterways.
It can also trade with countries along the way. It is an inland empire with strong commercial attributes. Moreover, because of its well-developed waterways, numerous plains and a considerable amount of high-quality farmland, it is also an important trading country for Calais seeds.
Unlike the Duchy of Nott, which is controlled by Calais, the Os Empire is not afraid of the threat of Calais suddenly stopping its supply because of its high grain production. Calais will never show its teeth to the Os Empire, which has legendary paladins, and behaves very humbly. The overt cooperative relationship between the two sides is still quite good.
There are also many Calais airship docks within the empire, and to some extent, the two sides have commercial complementarity.
After all, Calais’ own arable area is far less than that of the Ottoman Empire.
Back then, the famous warlock "Magic Blood Warlock" had to ask for help from the Os Empire because of his own blood conflict.
Although the current guardian legend of the Os Empire is a paladin, the royal family of the Os Empire itself is an excellent warlock family, and there are various items within the family to deal with blood conflicts.
It's a pity that the Os Empire took a fancy to the excellent enchanting and sewing skills of the 'Magic Blood Warlock' and wanted to recruit him as a threat. However, in the end, they underestimated the fighting power of the 'Magic Blood Warlock' who was famous for his enchantment, and were defeated by him and escaped unscathed.
The legendary guardian of the nation personally went out to hunt him down, but he failed to stop the slippery "Magic Blood Warlock", which instead made him famous.
But for the Os Empire, the reputation of "Magic Blood Warlock" can be said to be stepped on their heads.
Not to mention the legend who personally hunted him down later, the royal family of the Os Empire has always regarded itself as the number one warlock family on the continent!
Because the founder of the Os Empire was himself a legendary sorcerer, a true antique from the time when the two gods were alive.
Later, due to the corruption of his soul, he went to the abyss to try his luck before the deadline and disappeared.
The current Paladin of the Nation was also adopted and trained by the other party himself.
With an ancestor like this, there seems to be nothing wrong in calling themselves the number one warlock family.
At least several other warlock families that have also produced legendary warlocks did not specifically refute this point.
Even nowadays, many warlock families have indeed received guidance from the royal family of the Oss Empire.
But even such a royal family of the empire, which is known as the first warlock family, not only failed to keep the "Devil Blood Warlock" who caused a big fuss, but the subsequent hunt and killing did not work. Naturally, they are quite resentful.
Because in terms of hard power alone, even if that legend is excluded, the Oss royal family still has an absolute advantage.
It was just that as a member of the royal family, he was a little reserved at the beginning, which led to the other party's escape, but later he caused such a big mess.
This bad mood is like a situation where five people have a great advantage with six pieces of equipment, but the opponent's six Dorans steal the base and turn the tide, which makes them feel very disgusted and concerned.
Therefore, there has always been a bounty on the 'Magic Blood Warlock'.
However, for a heroic warlock who even the Legend himself could not catch, this kind of bounty is just for show.
No one would hunt down a hero-level character without any motives, let alone a great warlock.
An ordinary principality might not be able to do much to the other side even with all its national strength, and those that can deal with it must also consider the other side's revenge after escaping. Therefore, except for the Os Empire itself, this bounty is almost useless.
Originally, this was gradually forgotten by the Ottoman Empire as time passed.
After all, it happened hundreds of years ago. Except for some old stuff, it is already "history" for ordinary people.
But just when many people believed that the 'Magic Blood Warlock' who had shown signs of blood conflict back then might have died in some corner.
This embarrassing incident that brought shame to the Ottoman Empire has gradually faded away.
Recently, related news appeared twice!
The first time was when a young talented wizard who had the potential to become a grand wizard in the Calais Federation was killed by him in the city of Dunno.
This long-missing guy showed up again, which really made the Oss Empire sick.
This guy is a walking stain!
Anyone who sees him will think that this is the 'Magic Blood Warlock' who escaped from the legend.
The Os Empire became a complete foil, and the first warlock family of the Os royal family became a joke.
Originally, it would be fine if the other party only appeared once.
As long as the Ossian Empire adopts a tough attitude again and forces the other party to stop showing up, the matter will gradually fade away again.
After all, even for the Os Empire itself, it would be a thankless task to go to great lengths to capture such a carefree hero.
In the vast Oss Empire, there are actually not many people who can steadily suppress the enemy.
There are quite a few other heroes, but wouldn’t it be more embarrassing if the one who is chasing them alone is killed by the enemy?
The efficiency of team pursuit is low.
Therefore, the best way is to make a few noises and defeat the enemy without fighting.
It's enough to save face , after all, so many years have passed.
But then more news came, that in another canyon outside the city of Dunnor, an undead wizard seemed to want to commit a blood sacrifice and massacre.
This 'Blood Magician' stopped the opponent and cooperated with another archmage to kill the Undead Archmage.
For a time, this "Magic Blood Warlock" became a heroic figure that people praised.
There are even bards who have begun to sing the stories of this 'blood magician's' great achievements.
This change immediately made the Ottoman Empire smell a conspiracy.
Someone is targeting the Empire!
According to their intelligence, it seems that the 'Blood Warlock' himself is just a marginal OB, and it is mainly the credit of another great wizard.
But now there is a legend about the 'Magic Blood Warlock'.
There is no doubt that every time the song of the 'Magic Blood Warlocks' is sung, the scars of the Os Empire will be reopened and the other side's most proud record will be mentioned once again!
This will certainly deal a blow to the reputation of the Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman royal family.
Even though they knew they might be targeted or used, the Oss Empire had no choice but to make a statement in response to this matter.
"The Blood Magician is a wanted criminal in our country. Any force that protects the Blood Magician will inevitably become an enemy of the Empire!"
These righteous words were directly announced to all the countries in Middle-earth in the form of a letter through magic.
This made Grand Duke Kedun, who also received the document, feel overwhelmed.
Although Grand Duke Kedun is the ruler of the Principality of Kedun, he also deeply understands the gap between the Principality of Kedun and the Oss Empire.
Even though the two countries are far apart, if the Oss Empire really wants to deal with the Principality of Kedun, it only needs to send out a few heroes, which will be enough to suppress Kedun.
Don't even bother sending anyone. As long as some rumors are spread, the Principality of Kton will suffer all kinds of bullying.
Unlike the carefree 'Magic Blood Warlock', the Principality of Kedun is such a large territory and he cannot run away, so the treatment he receives is completely different!
Faced with such a huge gap, Grand Duke Kedun had no choice but to take the initiative to send a document to the Ottoman Empire.
The country was completely unaware of the 'Magic Blood Warlock' and invited an investigation team from the Oss Empire to investigate and collect evidence in order to prove their innocence.
But no matter how powerful the 'Blood Warlock' was, he was exposed for the sake of Dunnor City.
So even though they had to distance themselves from the matter due to power issues, Dunno also circulated the response document from the Principality of Kton as quickly as possible.
The meaning is very clear, people from the Oss Empire are coming, I'm sorry, run away quickly!
For the Oss Empire, the most important thing is to save face. The Principality of Kedun's submissive attitude and their investigation made the "Magic Blood Warlock" flee, which is actually enough.
This can be said to be the best theoretical result under multi-party balance.
All of these can achieve acceptable results at the lowest cost.
But for Weber himself...
Why should I run?
