Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter323-Annihilation of a Nation!
Annihilate the nation, eradicate its people!

As Leslie’s words fell, the bodies of everyone in the hall trembled, and suddenly, wails and sounds of battle echoed in their ears, as if they were witnessing a bloody inferno!

They had just thought that Leslie’s release of Nidhogg was a choice of mercy, but in reality, it was a complete annihilation of those who followed him!

This method was too ruthless!

The Empress was indeed still the cold and merciless Empress of before!

Soon, as everyone came to their senses, they actively spoke up, requesting to lead troops into battle.

“Your Majesty, Empress, our Moss Giant clan is eager to act and willing to lead the army to annihilate Emberveil Kingdom!”

“Your Majesty, Empress, we Shadow Clan are ready to take action to assassinate the high-ranking officials of Emberveil Kingdom!”

“Your Majesty, Empress, our Research Society has developed numerous research weapons over the past decade and hopes to showcase our strength in this campaign!”

“Your Majesty, Empress, our dragon clan requests to join the fight…”

The voices requesting to fight spread throughout every corner of the hall.

Although Leslie’s actions were somewhat bloody—after all, Emberveil Kingdom had millions of inhabitants, and an attack would result in immense slaughter—Nidhogg had long since brainwashed the people of Emberveil Kingdom, and this was a blatant violation of the Emperor’s and the Empress’s orders.

Using such bloody means to announce their re-emergence and maintain their authority was entirely reasonable.

Leslie was quite satisfied with their eagerness to fight.

The strength of these individuals had greatly increased after this era’s rebirth, and this powerful spirit was something they had lacked before.

However, Leslie soon shifted her gaze to Madelyn.

Madelyn’s strength and talent were not inferior to others, but having been sheltered in a greenhouse for too long, she had become a beautiful flower that could only be admired from afar; her combat skills and decisiveness were too hesitant.

Under normal circumstances, it might have been acceptable.

But once the plan to conquer The Celestial was set into motion, everyone would face a test of blood and fire, including Madelyn.

Her personality needed to change!

So, Leslie seriously said, “Madelyn, this time, you will choose the right people to carry out the annihilation of Emberveil Kingdom!”

Madelyn’s mouth slightly opened in shock.

Was she really being asked to do such a bloody thing?

Thinking about the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, she felt an endless wave of bloodiness rushing into her nose, disturbing her stomach, making her almost retch, so she quickly waved her hands and said, “Sister, just killing the main culprit Nidhogg would suffice. Emberveil Kingdom now has millions of inhabitants, many of whom are talented and many innocent people. There’s no need for such drastic measures!”

Leslie’s expression became even more serious. “I’m not being unreasonable. I order that within three months, those who wish to leave Emberveil Kingdom will be arranged to join other empires and factions by Azure Kingdom. Those who remain in Emberveil Kingdom will be annihilated, not one will be spared!”

Upon hearing this, Madelyn let out a slight sigh of relief, but soon her brow furrowed again, “Sister! Nidhogg has brainwashed the people of Emberveil Kingdom, and many have become his supporters. In three days, many citizens may not even realize the seriousness of the situation! Can we extend the deadline a few more days?”

Seeing that Madelyn was still hesitant, Leslie’s voice turned colder.

“Madelyn! This is not a discussion; it is an order!”

Madelyn never expected her sister’s attitude to become so cold, so cruel that it felt unfamiliar.

She had hardly ever killed anyone, and now she was being asked to lead the slaughter of so many, including many citizens—she couldn’t do it.

“Sister, many of them are also misled…”

Leslie coldly interrupted, “Show mercy? Has The Celestial ever shown us a shred of compassion?”

“This is not a game; it is a brutal struggle for survival!”

“Our opponent this time is The Celestial. There must be no unrest or discord within the empire!”

Madelyn continued to try to persuade her, “But if there are millions of people unwilling to leave Emberveil Kingdom…”

Leslie fixed her blood-red eyes on her, “No matter how many, kill without mercy!”

“If you cannot complete this task, Azure Kingdom may not be suitable for you. You can find another path for yourself!”

Madelyn was taken aback by these words, thinking she had misheard something! If she failed to complete this task, she would be expelled from Azure Kingdom?!

The expressions of the others present grew serious as well.

Leslie’s dominance and assertiveness left a deep impression on them.

After a brief moment of shock and daze, Madelyn puffed up her cheeks in anger, “Sister, is there anyone who forces their own sister like this? Where’s my brother-in-law? I want to talk to him about this!”

Leslie shook her head, “Owen has gone to West Sanctum Academy and is not here. Even if he were, he would stand on my side.”

Others present nodded thoughtfully. Many of them knew about Madelyn’s possession of the Blood Eye, a very special legendary eye.

Mastery of killing!

However, Madelyn had been too well protected since childhood and had never experienced true cruelty and torment. Although her Blood Eye had awakened a second time, the killing intent it emitted was formless, failing to unleash the true power of the Blood Eye.

This action seemed bloody, but in reality, it was to help Madelyn’s Blood Eye truly awaken!

At this moment, Madelyn didn’t think much further; she just felt an immense pressure.

She knew her sister too well; whatever she said, right or wrong, was not subject to change!

This time, the annihilation of Emberveil Kingdom was inescapable for her.

…

Meanwhile, in the border region of Azure Kingdom, on a plain.

This area, once a desolate wasteland, had gradually become lively and prosperous with the establishment of West Sanctum Academy.

Cities rose from the ground, and many aspiring mages flocked here, hoping to join West Sanctum Academy.

Now, with the explosion of mana, almost all the people of Azure Kingdom had become mages.

However, good talent always requires great teachers and resources.

West Sanctum Academy, the only magic academy in this area, is also an ancient institution.

Now, it was the annual enrollment period once again!

Young mages from various cities rushed here with excitement.

Since childhood, they had grown up listening to the legends of the Emperor and the Empress, all harboring the ambition to level up and become mages like them!

Slaying Gods!

Sealing Forbidden Zones!

Launching attacks against The Celestial!

Miracle after miracle, thrilling events unfolded before their eyes!

Who wouldn’t want to become someone like them?!

“Vanessa, look, there’s a really handsome guy over there!”

On the way to West Sanctum Academy, a young and vibrant girl suddenly pointed excitedly at a handsome young man on the street, turning to her purple-haired friend.

“Are you seriously crushing on someone at your age? Aren’t you a bit childish?” Vanessa shook her head, glancing at her friend, but her gaze followed her friend’s to the young man.

The street was bustling with many young people, full of vitality—clearly participants in the selection for West Sanctum Academy.

Among the crowd of handsome boys and beautiful girls, a young man dressed in a white noble robe stood out, exuding a unique aura of calm and elegance.

Just a glance drew everyone’s attention, making it impossible to look away.

Especially as Vanessa studied him more seriously, the golden light illuminated his deep and resolute face, and a pair of deep blue eyes sparkled like a spring, with glimmers that were mysterious and captivating, as if one could glimpse the essence of the world within them.

Seeing that Vanessa was staring at the white-robed young man, as if her soul had been captivated, her friend, who had just teased her, covered her mouth and laughed.

“Just now you mocked me, and now you’re staring without moving!”

At that moment, Vanessa seemed to remember something, her golden eyes sparkling, “Wait here for me, I’ll be right back!”

With that, she dashed toward the white-robed young man.

Her friend covered her face, feeling shy and unsure what to say.

Her friend was so outgoing! She could only sneak a glance at handsome boys, while she dared to approach that stunning young man!

“Hello, my name is Vanessa. I’m about to participate in the West Sanctum Academy assessment. Don’t you think you look a lot like someone?”
