“Thank you for your help.”

Oswald used his holy power to heal the barbarian, or rather the Na Han warrior, who was suffering from the plague.

The Na Han warrior’s name was Jargal, and the Yaksha warrior next to him was Bayan Battar. Both of them were superhumans who had reached the Grandmaster level and were elites representing the Yuan Kingdom. One unique point was that they used a type of energy called Haki instead of magic power.

‘𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵. . . 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘢𝘬𝘪. . . . . .’

Oswald opened the shop window on a whim and saw that the ‘Haki’ skill was on sale. The initial cost to unlock fighting spirit was 1,000 points.

‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤, 𝘣𝘶𝘵. . . 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘬𝘪.’

Perhaps he could become even stronger than he was now. Moreover. . . . . .

‘𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳. . . 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴.’

Hadn’t he dealt with Archduke Demon of Truth and obtained 10 million Fate Points? With that, he spent 1,000 points to unlock Haki. The points required to level up gradually increased by a factor of 10, with 10 points required to upgrade to level 2, 100 points to upgrade to level 3, 1,000 points to upgrade to level 4, and 10,000 points to upgrade to level 5.

When he reached level 5, he was able to use the armed color Haki on his entire body, and when he invested 100,000 points to reach level 6, he was able to emit Haoshoku Haki. Then, when he invested 1 million points to reach level 7, he was able to use Haoshoku Haki to surround him like an aura.

“Ugh. . . . . . ”

He wanted to upgrade to level 8. . . But from now on, he would need 10 million points. To upgrade to level 9 from there, he would need 100 million points. . . And to upgrade to level 10, he would need 1 billion points.

Anyway, he had gained a new power. This power would probably be of great help in the battles that lay ahead. . . . . .

However, this Haoshoku Haki had the habit of dispersing all energy except for Haki. In other words, it meant that he could not use holy power and Haoshoku Haki at the same time.

‘𝘏𝘢𝘰𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘬𝘶 𝘏𝘢𝘬𝘪 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦.’

Or it could be used to break through the enemy’s defenses. In particular, it was a very good aura to use when defending against or destroying magic.

After that, Oswald met the commander of the Huan Kingdom army defending the Yohwa region.

“I am General Oswald von Chester Valencia, commander of the Imperial Empire expeditionary force.”

“Commander of the Yohwa Region Army, Eulji Sunyong, reporting in.”

“Now that the battle here is over, where are you going next?”

“The Great Zhou Empire’s turmoil is not over yet, so I think we will probably continue to hold the line here.”

“Do you have no plans to advance into Hebei Province?”

“Hebei Province, you say?”

“Yes, I came here from Hebei Province, but it is currently an empty no-man’s land. I think it would not be good to leave Hebei Province like this. . . I wonder if the Huan Kingdom army has any plans to enter Hebei Province?”

“Hmm. . . . . . I think I should report this matter to the central government and wait for their orders.”

At that moment, Bayan Battar, who had been listening to the conversation, stepped forward.

“Would it be okay for our Yuan Kingdom to advance into Hebei Province?”

“Someone has to enter Hebei Province, don’t they? If we continue to leave it empty, the plague army may advance again.”

“Then our Yuan Kingdom will advance.”

The Yuan Kingdom’s land was barren. Therefore, they had no choice but to train strong warriors and a mobile force with fast mobility.

Although they had the advantage of having a lot of oil. . . In order to increase their population, they needed food, but it was difficult to find fertile land in any part of the Yuan Kingdom. . . They needed a place where they could produce food dramatically.

In the midst of all this, the opportunity to get their hands on Hebei Province came, so they took the initiative instead of the Huan Kingdom, which was hesitating while waiting for orders from their home country.

“Then, I understand that Hebei Province will be managed by the Yuan Kingdom.”

The Great Zhou Empire’s Mandate of Heaven was already collapsing. If this chaotic war ended, the Yuan Kingdom would also gain a foundation for great development.

After all, the Qin and Feng kingdoms had already been established within the Great Zhou Empire. If they played their cards right, they would be able to advance to Shandong Province and secure an even larger granary.

While the Huan Kingdom was bound by the orders of their home country, the Yuan Kingdom immediately led the troops they had dispatched and entered Hebei Province. Since Shanhai Pass had already been destroyed by the plague army, they were able to enter Hebei Province without difficulty.

“Well then, Headmaster. Let’s move too.”

“Where would you like to go this time?”

“Let’s go south.”

“Guangdong Province?”

“Yes.”

“Is the reason you are leaving Sichuan Province for last because you plan to weaken the Great Zhou Empire’s power?”

“Hahahaha. That’s right, Headmaster.”

“You plan to expand the Imperial Empire’s influence into the East on this occasion.”

“That’s right. Wouldn’t it be better that way? They are the ones who distorted the mission of protection they received from the Dragon to seek their own power.”

“Well. . . I have been watching them because they have made some contributions in their own way. . . But it is true that their culture of rejecting Chronos is a bit much.”

The Dragons were also faithful apostles of God. They had been given the mission of protecting this land on behalf of God, so their faith in God was even greater than that of ordinary priests.

That was why they did not like the philosophical thought of Confucianism, which had originated from the Great Zhou Empire. In particular, their attitude of rejecting religion, or rather, their rejection of religion, was very annoying.

If they had accepted religion more broadly, the plague army would not have become so strong.

“Well, let’s go then.”
