Chapter 735: Rat in the Bay 4
The process of gathering the heads of each nation in the post-war process wasn't as easy as expected.
The Baroque Empire was so huge, and the interests of each nation were mixed, so it took several days to coordinate them.
However, with Reina's help, Luke concluded with a moderate division of the Baroque Empire.
Having solved the most important problem, Luke left Nemesis to fully enjoy the moment he had been waiting for all his life.
His visit was to the tomb of the former Emperors of the Baroque, which was located to the west of Nemesis.
Originally, after occupying Nemesis, he wanted to find that place, but he put off his visit as there were too many eyes on him.
The graveyards which had been decorated with various flowers and gifts in the past were terribly scattered.
It was because Rudolf took away all the money which were worthy of burials to finance his war.
In addition, the manager of the graveyard also ran away during the war, so weeds were growing all around, without being managed.
Of the dozen tombs, Luke stood in front of the largest one.
The tomb of the First Emperor, Carno de Baroque, as he was the founder of the Empire, it was the largest and the grandest one.
There were dozens of stone statues made of granite that were carved around the tomb.
They were the contributors for the forming of the Empire, whom people Luke was familiar with.
Luke looked around the statues with a cold glance and opened his mouth while looking at the marble coffin in the burrowed place.
"I thought that it would be very exciting to get my revenge, but it is more irritating than I imagined."
Carno de Baroque was the main reason for the death of his former lover, Katarina.
Had it not been for Carno de Baroque to want her beauty and turn her into his concubine, she would have never committed suicide.
Saymon, whose eyes were full of the death of his beloved, learned dark magic for the sake of revenge and started the war.
Knowing that he was the target, Carno de Baroque made Saymon an enemy of the continent with a variety of rumors.
And various nations including the Holy Empire who participated in the war, and the scale of the war increased.
In the end, Symon took over the notorious name of 'Devil King' and was defeated by Warrior Rakan, without even getting to take revenge for Katarina.
His desire for revenge was buried deep into Luke's bones, but that revenge wasn't as refreshing as he thought.
Was it because a lot of time had passed? Or was it because he got a new loved one and new life into his family?
Or was it because Carno died and was still tormented by his descendant, even in his tomb?
"Well, I don't intend to forgive you."
Slash!
The moment Luke pulled out and swung his Holy Sword Valiant, the statues, which stood around the tomb turned into dozens of pieces.
Carno's marble coffin too split, and the skinny mummy head inside got cut off.
Luke, who crushed down the severed head of Carno de Baroque, called Marquis Rogers who was watching it from behind.
"Rogers!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"We will make a park in memory of the soldiers and the people killed in the war after pushing away this bloody graveyard."
"A park?"
"Yes, there is no Baroque Empire."
Marquis Rogers didn't immediately respond to Luke's words.
It was because the act of desecrating the resting place of a man was unreasonable.
But his worries weren't for long. The Baroque Imperial family was the enemy of the Rakan family for too long.
It was not just Carno de Baroque, but also the other successive emperors who tormented the Rakans.
"Yes. I'll do it as directed, Your Majesty."
Anyway, due to the tyranny of Rudolf's, the Baroque Imperial family completely lost the trust of the people.
Even if the tombs of the Emperors were wiped out, no one would object it apart from a few nobles.
As Rogers tried to carry out the order, a man came panting into the graveyard.
He was Count Philip, and somehow he was stiff.
"We are in trouble, Your majesty!"
"What is it?"
Rogers was the first to ask.
"Well, that... it is said that countless undead are crossing in from the Libiya Kingdom's border!"
"What?!"
Philip's explanation shocked Rogers.
It was said that the waves of Undead from the Libiya Kingdom were coming in from all directions of the borders, but the numbers weren't just tens of thousands.
"The undead are coming in from the Libiya Kingdom border, and it was said that the number would exceed ten million."
"Te—ten million!?"
Rogers was puzzled.
Hundreds of thousands of undead couldn't be stopped even with the Holy Empire on the line.
But for ten million!
Luke couldn't hold onto the cold face when an unprecedented situation came at him.
