Chapter 1781: Chapter 860: Joy Turns to Sorrow

After ensuring his absolute safety in a short period of time, Gaven shouted towards the Earth Spirit Witch locked in battle with the Dushan Witch: “Earth Spirit Lord, killing the Dushan Witch isn’t the priority, seizing control of this Dream World is.”

“This dark-hearted witch has imprisoned countless innocent souls from Mosantiel City in the Dream World. Try to wrestle away part of the control over the Dream World and release those survivors, this is the most convenient way to weaken this Dream World.”

Having witnessed the brutal nature of the wars within the Nightmare Dream Realm, Gaven decisively adjusted his strategy, no longer intending to involve any ordinary Laiserman individuals.

Whether facing the Terror Demon Army, the Shadow Army, or the Nightmare Monster Army, they are more than mere cannon fodder. Slight carelessness could turn them into the enemy’s strengthening food.

Compared to staying here, it is better to release them from the Nightmare Dream Realm, which would be more helpful for them.

The Earth Spirit Witch sensed briefly and couldn’t help but angrily shout: “Dushan, you bastard, you should go to Hell, you should be slashed to pieces, they are your people too, how could you harm them?”

“My people? Earth Spirit Sisters, have you practiced Earth spells so foolishly that even your brain has turned to rock?”

The Dushan Witch responded confidently, “We are the noble descendants of the Romancia Empire, we are the inheritors and protectors of Imasca knowledge, and they are just a bunch of Rus Barbarians, our guards, our tools to rebuild the Empire.

You are the real traitors. You betrayed your race, your duties, and consider a bunch of lowly slaves as your people.”

The Dark Witch’s argument already involves the history of the Laiserman Kingdom.

This history can be traced back over ten thousand years, to the era parallel with the Dwarf Kingdom of Shanata.

Not only the Eastern Desolation but the entire eastern part of the Felen Continent was once ruled by an empire named Imasca, whose ruling class was known as the Fabulists, and their supreme ruler was called the King of Fabulists.

They were not only skilled at using Teleportation Magic but also excelled at crafting various powerful magical constructs, many of which are excavated from the remnants of this empire and known as the magical inventions.

The magical civilization they created predates the Nesserel Empire by several thousand years and was even more splendid.

Their most famous deed was using the Cross-plane Teleportation Gate to capture countless slaves from a world without magic, which sowed the seeds of their empire’s demise.

Because the world where those slaves came from, although without magic, had deities.

These slaves, later known as Mulan People, became the best springboard for their deities to invade Felen, and they sent their most powerful Saints (Divine Nature Incarnations) to lead their people against the Fabulists.

With the help of these Divine Power Presence, the Imasca Empire underwent a comprehensive collapse, and the King of Fabulists perished in battle.

Those Divine Nature Incarnations established the Murholland Kingdom, where royal authority and divine right were fused, in the eastern Felen region, lasting even until today.

Most of the prosperous areas of Imasca were occupied by the Murholland Kingdom, leaving the remaining Imascan people pushed north to the frigid lands, the current Eastern Desolation, where they founded the Romancia Empire.

But here there was a strong Barbarian Empire, Nafir, with whom they fought fiercely over land ownership until both sides were obliterated.

The Laiserman Witch was a secret female society established during the eve of the Romancia Empire’s collapse, with the purpose of protecting the heritage and magical knowledge of the Romancia Kingdom, awaiting the chance to revitalize the Romancia Empire.

As for the Rus Barbarians, they migrated from where Luskan City now stands in the northwest of the Felen Continent through the ancient teleportation portal left by the Imascan people, and they formed an alliance with the Romancia Witches, intermarrying extensively with the Romancia people and renamed themselves Laiserman.

Strictly speaking, the Laiserman and Uthgar Barbarians have a common ancestor.

The seeds of division among the Laiserman Witches were planted right from the nation’s founding, at that time there were stark differences internally on how to deal with the Rus Barbarians issue.

The mainstream was, of course, for both sides to cooperate sincerely, intermarrying to form a new kingdom, aligning with the path currently upheld by the Laiserman Witches.

The other faction advocated for the purity of bloodline, arguing that they should maintain the pure Romancia blood, especially the witches, because pure bloodline is their source of power, and those Rus Barbarians would taint their blood greatly reducing their maximum casting potential.

Generation after generation, the Laiserman witches declined, the most powerful witches were mostly from pure Romancia lineage, indirectly validating this view.

And the Dushan Witch has always been the leader of this view. Even after breaking away from the Laiserman Witches, they still actively maintain high activity, as this purity of blood theory has a significant market among those pure Romancia witches.

This is why the Dark Witch ruthlessly sacrificed many Laiserman individuals, because she never considered them as her people, just a group of slaves only.

“Stuck in rigidity and absurdity, this world is continuously evolving, Romancia is just our history, Laiserman is our present, only by looking forward can we develop better, rather than immersing forever in the past.”
