Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#1406 - Chapter 1406: Confidence at the Bottom

While Wu Wei's military campaign was still raging, the enthronement ceremony of the Human Empire's emperor was also underway.

However, this enthronement ceremony was far more shabby than those of the Human Empire in the past.

Whether in terms of financial resources or personnel, everything was simplified as much as possible.

After all, having experienced the decade-long civil war, even the once mighty Human Empire was now in a state close to financial exhaustion.

But don't misunderstand.

This so-called 'simplified as much as possible' is not the kind of 'simplified as much as possible' that ordinary people imagine!

"Heavens."

"This is too extravagant."

On the outskirts of the Human Imperial Palace, a newly appointed guard said in surprise to his companion beside him.

At this moment, he was already shocked by the palace before him.

Because just two days ago, the Human Empire's palace, as a former battlefield, was still extremely dilapidated.

But in these short two days.

With the blessing of countless elementalists and mages, the land that was once full of bullet craters had been re-filled into flat ground.

And not only that.

With the empire mobilizing enough druids, the land beneath the soldier's feet had transformed from barren soil directly into a world full of greenery in less than a few hours.

And with the help of mechanical devices, a large number of bricks and stones were rapidly laid.

These powerful machines, which were originally intended for war, were now as humble as ants, tirelessly providing repair services for the palace roads.

"Tch."

"This is nothing."

Hearing the newly appointed guard's surprise, his companion sneered.

"Let me tell you, when I first came to the palace five years ago, it was much more magnificent than it is now!"

"Five years ago?"

The other guard asked doubtfully.

"Wasn't the Human Empire still in the midst of civil war five years ago?"

"Yes."

The longer-serving guard nodded.

"I didn't say anything wrong."

"Because even five years ago, even in the midst of civil war, the palace was far more magnificent than it is now!"

"Oh, I will never forget how excited I was when I first saw the palace."

"It is the heart of the Human Empire, the treasure of human civilization, and also the proof of our human imperial power!"

"Even if I can only wander outside this palace for the rest of my life."

"I am still proud of the Human Empire I serve!"

"Because I have seen the star charts outside the human world, marked one by one by the Human Empire."

"I have also seen those exquisite and magnificent sculptures standing in the royal city."

"All of this is saying one thing."

"That is, we, the subjects of the empire, should all be proud of the Human Empire."

Hearing this, the guard, who was also feeling shocked, turned his head and said with ill-concealed intentions.

"But what does that have to do with me being just a guard?"

Hearing this, the older guard glared at him.

"What do you know?"

"No."

"Don't you understand?"

"Only if our Human Empire continues to be strong will we, the subjects of the empire, have hope for survival!"

The older guard lectured him.

"Have you forgotten how miserable we were in the past ten years?"

Hearing this, the younger guard shuddered.

Yes.

How could he forget?

During the Human Empire's decade of internal strife, he experienced genuine warfare.

The fact that he was able to survive until now had nothing to do with his own strength.

He was able to survive until now simply because he was lucky!

After all, he remembered very clearly.

In the past ten years, many of his colleagues, just like him, had died on the battlefield.

And among these colleagues were those who were stronger than him, and those who were more intelligent than him.

But without exception, they all became white bones beneath the empire's soil.

Thinking of this, the younger guard swallowed, and gave a miserable smile.

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense."

"No matter what, it's better for the Human Empire to be stronger."

"After all, only if the empire is stronger will we not experience new wars, right!"

Hearing this, the older guard shook his head.

"Not necessarily."

"I just heard some news."

"In the real world of the human lords, there is a mad lord who has restarted the war!"

After saying that, the older guard looked towards the direction of the royal palace with a longing expression.

"But still."

"I still believe that our Human Empire's new emperor will definitely have the confidence to quickly end this war."
