Everything was so out of the ordinary.
What kind of place was this?
Why did favonovel.com arrive here in the first place?
“You’ve already been in our country for half a month, Sir. For your safety, you should leave as soon as possible. You’re going to die if you don’t leave,” the Empress earnestly reminded him.
James gently waved his hand and said, “It’s fine… I feel alright and don’t believe in curses, nor do I think that something bad will happen to me.”
“Sigh…” Since James insisted, the Empress could do nothing to dissuade him.
She had seen many others like him.
Many men on their planet refused to believe in Sangria’s curse and would come to test it out themselves. Eventually, all of them died.
James beamed at her. “You don’t have to worry about me, Your Majesty… I’ll leave the moment I feel the slightest bit of discomfort here.”
Hearing James’ reassurance, the Empress was relieved.
James stayed in Sangria Palace for the time being, waiting for the Empress’ subordinates to acquire news about Henrik and Qusai.

At that moment, a discussion was happening in the main hall of Korinth Palace.
The Kingdom of Korinth was the strongest country on Planet Galileo. It was a hegemony, occupying over half of Planet Galileo’s territory.
Korinth was rich in resources and possessed the might to uphold their great ambitions. To unify the world, they had to travel south and conquer another major country. They would have to travel through Sangria in order to achieve this. Only after destroying Sangria would they be able to continue heading down south to continue on their conquest of the world.
The main hall of the Korinth Palace was magnificent and extravagant.
A middle-aged man sat in the highest seat of the council. He was slightly chubby and was about 150 years old. He had slightly tan skin and exuded an intimidating aura.
He was the current Emperor of Korinth.
His name was Xandalous Korinth, also known as Korinth the Second.
All the country’s civil and military officials were gathered in the main hall.
At that moment, the Grand Marshal of Korinth was reporting about the battle in Yantargh Canyon.
Bang!
After hearing the Grand Marshal’s report, Xandalous slammed his palms on the table and shouted furiously,” What are you doing, Jaziel? You withdrew your troops after you gained such a great advantage over the enemy?!”
The Grand Marshal, Jaziel Wattmann, immediately prostrated himself. “I had no choice but to retreat, Your Majesty… The man that interfered was too strong, and I wasn’t a match for him. Had I continued to pursue Sangria’s troops, not only would I have died, but our millions of soldiers would also be eliminated in one fell swoop.”
“Please calm down, Your Majesty.” An old man in a robe holding a fly-whisk stepped forward.
He bowed slightly and said, “It seems Sangria’s is destined to survive for a while longer. I suggest we hold off for now and reorganize our tactics.”
“Never!” Xandalous roared angrily, “We must take down Sangria as soon as possible to pave the way for our armies to head down South and conquer the world! This time, you shall lead troops and conquer Sangria! I’d like to see who still dares to stand in Korinth’s way!”
“Understood, Your Majesty.” The chancellor did not dare to turn away his order.
Sangria had spies planted in Korinth.
As such, Sangria was immediately informed about Korinth’s chancellor personally leading troops against them.
At that moment, the Empress was fraught with anxiousness in the Sangria Palace’s main hall.
“It seems Korinth is determined to destroy Sangria this time. They’ve sent their chancellor to lead troops against us. He’s a deadly force to be reckoned with. What should we do?” The Empress swept favonovel.com gaze over many of the beautiful officials and sighed deeply.
The female officials below favonovel.com went silent.
“Your Majesty, how about we surrender to Korinth?” A woman stepped forward and suggested, “Korinth is much stronger than our country. If we continue to fight, our country will also end up destroyed. Surrendering will be much better than allowing our country to fall on its knees.”
“Never!” The Empress replied resolutely, “Our country has a history of more than ten thousand years. Korinth has only been founded very recently in comparison. Even if our country is destroyed, we’ll never surrender to them!”
“Your Majesty!” A female soldier walked into the hall and kneeled on one knee.
