Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1443

Leland overheard the Rule Soul Avatar and Merle's conversation, but he still didn't know who they were talking about.

After making sure that Merle had placed Jenifer in a safe place, the Rule Soul Avatar lowered his head and looked through the ground to gather his power in the deep mine.

"Come out!" he commanded.

His voice was like thunder that roared through the depths of the earth.

Boom!

With a loud sound, deep gullies suddenly appeared on the ground with hot magma flowing.

Then firelights came out of the cracks and pierced through the sky.

"I wanted to let you get out of there, but it's a pity that you seem to be courting death."

They heard a demonic voice under the ground. It was so ear-piercing, as it resonated across the mine.

Leland shivered upon hearing it.

The voice and the aura were so familiar to him.

To find out the source of the voice, he started to penetrate his fiendish sense into the ground.

"My dear brother, don't bother. It's me."

A flame figure flew out of the crack.

"Flame Fiend, it's you!" Leland exclaimed.

His face was filled with shock upon seeing the figure. He even felt a little painful.

The Flame Fiend flew over and stood in front of Leland.

"Aren't you even going to call me by my real name?"

The Flame Fiend was Orlando, Leland's elder brother. He was the ninth prince of the overthrown empire.

"You betrayed our father!" rebuked Leland.

"Ha-ha! What are you talking about? We are in a world where strength decides for everything. Of course, I should choose to follow a stronger emperor. I don't think that's betrayal," Orlando countered loudly.

"You are stupid! You betrayed our family and the whole empire. Because of your betrayal, our father died together with the tens of thousands of strong fiends of our empire. Do you still think that you didn't do anything wrong?" Leland gave Orlando a disdainful look. Back then, their father was invited to attend the meeting of the eight emperors. But on their father's way to the venue, he was attacked and killed by four emperors. They later found out that someone had leaked their father's whereabouts to those emperors. What happened led to the destruction of their empire.

If no one betrayed their father, he would never be besieged and killed.

Leland had already suspected that it was Orlando. But he didn't get the chance to confirm his conjecture because Orlando had disappeared. He thought that Orlando died in the battle. But now that Orlando suddenly appeared in front of him, everything was clear. His brother was the one behind all these.

In their land, there were eight great empires being controlled by a generation of emperors. If the emperor of an empire died, his subordinates would definitely be slaughtered by the other empires. They would only stop if a new emperor was born to contend against them.

After their father's death, tens of thousands of his subordinates and great fiend gods were all killed. Until now, the Kasen Empire that was established by their father was still in a chaotic state because they had no new emperor yet.

They had the same situation with the Chu Clan.

"Leland, stop being silly. Our father just used us to protect his own empire. We were only his tools. Why should we care about that so-called bloodline? It's something that only those pathetic humans care. Do you understand?"

Orlando paused for a while before he continued, "Now, I'll give you a chance. If you decide to join the Naters Empire, I promise you, you will become a lord and rule a domain one day. You will be next to the emperor."

Orlando tried to talk Leland into surrendering. He knew that Leland had the potential to become a lord and even an emperor.
