The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress-Chapter 227: War with Nemoris...[1]

Nemoris’s plight begun with the cry of griffin-a sound so harrowing that it almost split the skies and earth apart. Glass windows shattered, walls crumbled, houses collapsed, crops withered and rivers turned black. On the back of the griffin Sigrid continued to command and chant, plunging the Nemorian knights around the city walls in a fog of chaos and confusion.

Nemorians run from their houses, some dressed and others naked. Some carried their children, others their wealth and others nothing. To save their lives, they left everything behind.

As the griffin continued to cry, the earth started to tremble, the people were struck with a paralyzing fear and screams dominated the air.

Using magic and a hologram, Sigrid conveyed a message to the citizens of Nemoris in its capital city, Nemoa.

"People of Nemoris, this is Crown Princess Sigrid Thorin-Maxims of the royal house of Eldoria. I bring you good news, we have come to reunite you with your original homeland, Eldoria. You have been deceived about your roots and identity, you were never Nemorians, you have always been misplaced Eldorian’s. We urge you not to resist, surrender peacefully and you will not be harmed, your lives will stay the same.

Peace and wealth will continue to reign. I urge you to think of your children, your grandchildren and great children. Think of your wives and husbands, mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts. If you die, who will care for them and protect them? Who will love them? It is better to live a good successful life than to die a foolish false hero that will never be remembered.

We have your false king and his family under control. The message today is simple, fight us and you will die."

Viper cried out again, and the people fell to their knees, some were bleeding out of their ears. Those who could not take the pressure, fainted.

Sigrid divided the hologram into five thousand smaller holograms and sent them out to reach every corner of Nemoris.

In the royal castle of Nemoris a princess who happened to be a mage was facing off against Roland. She was excellent at using earth magic, so she was hitting him with pieces of the castle wall, ripping out whatever she could get her hands on.

Roland was like a mountain, no matter what was thrown at him, he just kept going forward, unharmed. He cut down every Nemorian knight in his path with his two pronged sword.

Princess Salmara Kaelith was the most dangerous Nemorian mage in the castle and kingdom. Nemoris had been secretly raising female mages in the past year after seeing the progress in Medoris.

If Sigrid had not been mingling with all sorts of merchants and sending spies to Nemoris, they never would have known until Nemoris attacked them, the same way that they were attacking.

Salmara leaped out of the window, her cloak billowing in the icy air. Her plan was to use the wolves to launch an attack. Before she could land on the ground, a moth swooped in and she fell on its back. On the back of the moth was a female mage that she recognized.

Just as Eldoria was keeping an eye on Nemoris, they were doing the same. They knew about Mauve, televisions were not new to Nemoris. They citizens had purchased them from Medoris or Eldoria.

Salmara reached around her waist for a dagger to stab the moth but Mauve was faster. She swept out her right hand and sliced Salmara’s neck with a short sword. She did not stop there, she used a stone that Sigrid had given her secretly to suck out all of Salmara’s magic and then threw her body to the ground.

As soon as Salmara’s pale blue body touched the ice, a hologram appeared in the sky. There was a big X mark on her picture, announcing to the citizens that their beloved princess was dead.

Sigrid had decided that one of the best ways to crush the spirits of the Nemorian knights was to show them who in the royal family had died. What generals had fallen, which houses were gone.

The idea, cruel as it was, was inspired from a movie.

In the sky, Cosmos appeared beside Sigrid. He was walking in air, he had no need for a flying beast or magic. "When you said that you would show them mercy, this is not what I had in mind." He said, looking at a new hologram which was added to the fifty of fallen important Nemorians.

"Would you have preferred it if Emmah came?" She replied.

Cosmos pondered on the original text. Emmah had set Nemoris on fire, all of it. She had invented fuel, earth kind of fuel and it had been poured down from the ships that Prince Firron provided.

Eldorian knights had fired arrows with flames from the ships and set the entire kingdom on fire. Nemoris had been conquered, but more than half of the population was dead.

Those that survived had burns and other illnesses. The devastation on the land from that fire had almost been irrecoverable. Were it not for the lucky halo which Emmah possessed, Nemoris would have been ruined completely.

"She is a mass murderer, she burned all of the kingdom. I on the other hand, I am following the normal course of war. Conquer the king, conquer the boarders and kill the strongest resistors. The citizens at least get to live, they can keep their homes. If this war can be ended in a week, they will be able to get back to their normal lives.

There will be no famine, no plague." Sigrid turned Viper around and told him, "I do not feel guilty about this. We are fighting a war and in war, there are casualties. If we do not take down Nemoris, they will join hands with Medoris and take us down.

I intend to live in this world for the rest of my life. I will have children here and I will be empress. I am just securing a future for myself and them. What mercy did you think I would show?"

"Peace talks at a round table." Cosmos joked.

It was no time to laugh but Sigrid did anyway. No leaders of any country or kingdom in this case sat at a round table and handed over their power willingly. It was ridiculous.

In that time, while they were talking, ten more images appeared in the sky. These were fallen generals and mage knights from the boarder.

"What is Emmah doing right now?" Sigrid asked Cosmos.

She and Benjamin are preparing to set out for the island of Sunrise peaks to acquire the last shard. The king will be going with them." He shared. "You know that he will come back dead or gravely injured."

Sigrid’s lips curved upwards. "I know."

The foolish king was making a foolish decision. Who was she to get in his way?

She tapped Viper on the back and the griffin cried out to the skies again. This time the skies turned red.
