456 Bloody Battle at Black Rye City_1

Just a few days after Dudley appeared, the Eastern Empire stopped its offensive against the Western Empire entirely.

The Eastern Empire's army and their allies chose to rest and recuperate in favorable conditions.

Even though it was frustrating for the passionate warriors who wanted to prove themselves not to build a successful career in the vast territory of the Western Empire, no one dared to step across the line.

That was because, not long ago, the Crimson Empress issued a death order to them, and the title of the "Crimson Empress" was not just for show.

As long as one stayed for half a year, they could obtain whatever they wanted without any effort.

No one would refuse such a deal.

Moreover, the Crimson Empress didn't have to worry about Dudley conducting experiments, as his reputation alone was the best guarantee.
