Chapter 453: The Naked Emperor (2/5)

****(POV)

This fight only brought destruction and sorrow on both sides. 

The whole continent was in a state of unrest. One would have expected wars for supremacy to take place. None of that happened.

As dying words, one invader had left an omen. More of them would come. More of the insanely powerful beings that had destroyed all of this continent's military might with only a handful of them. 

In fact, not only did people not fight for supremacy but many kings even suddenly retired to the countryside and played the simple farmers. It was all a colossal joke. Their hope was that the new rulers, the soon-to-come invaders, wouldn't touch the subservient population. 

The previous kings would be happy with living the life of slightly wealthy merchants from then onward with all dreams of power forgotten. For once in our history, there was no bloody battle for the throne.
