Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: Imperial Campaign

With this decision made, the subsequent banquet was of little importance to the two of them.

On the rooftop, Damian Carlson and Althea sat on the golden-tiled roof, listening with righteous assurance to the entire conversation of the two people inside.

Althea casually played with the Little Phoenix, now the length of a forearm, and asked Damian,

"Why do humans always use ceremonies to prove their marital relationship?"

If a ceremony is not held, can they not be husband and wife?

Upon hearing this, Damian glanced at her, and after a long pause, diverted his gaze, saying,

"Because a marital relationship is also a contract. They take heaven and earth as witnesses, not only to inform the world of their union but also to assure their partner that their bond shall remain unchanged for life."

Damian’s voice was calm and solemn, as always, dignified and composed.

Upon hearing his words, Althea tilted her head slightly, looked at him, then suddenly leaned closer and asked,

"Then shouldn’t we also hold a ceremony to inform heaven and earth that you are mine and cannot be changed?"

Damian: ...

Faced with Althea’s intense gaze, Damian’s expression remained unchanged, though his tightly pressed lips betrayed his lack of indifference.

Althea just stared at him for a long while, waiting for his reply. Just as she got angry and was about to reveal her tail to flick at him, she heard a gentle whisper carried by the breeze on the rooftop straight into her ear.

He said,

"As you wish."

...

The banquet’s attendees might have felt uncertain, but Samuel Chalmers and Althea were quite pleased.

However, this happiness did not last long.

Although the disaster in the Northland was resolved, both Damian and Scarlett Jennings knew in their hearts that this snow disaster in the Northland was far from over.

To say nothing of the past, the person behind the attempt to imprison Beckett Chalmers’s soul and control the Heavenly Origin Kingdom through imperial power has yet to be found.

Even though Samuel Chalmers ordered the arrest of the State Preceptor, on the night the Preceptor was imprisoned in the Mystical Auditory Office’s dungeon, he mysteriously decomposed, emitting black smoke from his body, before turning into a pile of decaying flesh.

This proves that the State Preceptor was merely a pawn in the hands of a greater mastermind.

According to Damian’s premonition of the calamity facing Heavenly Origin, this person is indeed the key figure behind the "man-made disaster."

Moreover, the genuine calamity threatening Heavenly Origin will not be easily resolved by their supposed rituals and control of public sentiment.

In fact, the end of the snow disaster only confirmed one thing for them—

The snow disaster in the Northland was not the end, but rather a forewarning before the beginning.

*

In the 143rd year of the Heavenly Origin, just after the snow season, as spring was about to revive, the Mystical Auditory Office received several successive reports stating that in recent days, strange beasts had simultaneously appeared across the Inner Realm of Heavenly Origin.

The Northern Border saw the Red Hound, the South Sea witnessed South Sea Fathom, the Western Mountains had Matthew, and the Eastern Plains saw the emergence of the Demon Beast.

All these creatures are creatures recorded since Ancient Times, and regardless of their origins or appearances, they share a common trait.

"Their appearance heralds great military conflict."

Damian said,

"With the simultaneous appearance of these strange beasts, a military disaster will inevitably descend upon Heavenly Origin."

Shortly after Damian uttered these words, the neighboring four kingdoms simultaneously launched an attack against Heavenly Origin.

The four nations came with great ferocity, as if premeditated, giving Heavenly Origin no chance to react.

The Imperial Court had just emerged from a natural disaster, and before it could fully recover, it was met with a plague of soldiers from all directions, prompting many to lament,

"Heaven seeks to destroy our Heavenly Origin Dynasty!"

Representing imperial authority, Samuel Chalmers naturally could not let such a thing happen.

He immediately issued summons, rallying the strength of the entire nation, vowing to annihilate the foreign invaders.

The territorial armies received their orders and began to act swiftly.
