Chapter 672 672:- Myra

It has been almost 5 to 6 months since the 'The Battle of the Factions' which was a war between the Oracle Alliance and The Cosmic Tide Alliance (previously known as Triumvirate Alliance) had ended.

Since then so many things in the Northwest region have changed and have been changing every single day.

The result of the war changed the politics, power dynamics, and geography of the Northwest region.

It has given rise to a new power in the Northwest region. This new power was the rise of the Hephaestus Kingdom.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Many say that in the war Hephaestus Kingdom played it smart but joining hands with the Istarin Empire and the Echo Dominion Empire. Even though the Hephaestus Kingdom had almost nothing to offer at the time of the war, the Kingdom still received so many benefits once the war had ended.

The Hephaestus Kingdom gained new territories, new sources, billions of gold coins as aid from its allies, and many more. Most importantly this war has given security to the entire Hephaestus Kingdom. The Hephaestus Kingdom did not have to worry about being attacked by other neighboring or foreign Kingdoms or Empires because the Kingdom was a part of the Cosmic Tide Alliance.

This naturally did not mean that the problems in the Hephaestus Kingdom had just disappeared after the end of the war. Before and till the 'Battle of Factions' the Hephaestus Kingdom used to be known as the Capital or the hub of all criminal activities in the Dying Isle Continent.

Despite the aid and military support that the Hephaestus Kingdom has been constantly receiving all this time since the end of the war, it still hasn't been enough to completely clean the Kingdom from the inside.

After the war ended, the Istarin Empire nor the Echo Dominion Empire couldn't send their troops to help the Hephaestus Kingdom. Since both Empires just gained massive chunks of territory, they first needed to send their troops to suppress the rebels. And this whole process took more than a month.

But this does not mean that the Hephaestus Kingdom hasn't been making any progress. In fact, the Hephaestus Kingdom has made progress in every area.

It's just that the condition of the Hephaestus Kingdom was still many times worse than other neighboring Empires.

Though corruption has definitely decreased as the King gained more military and political power, this does not mean that corruption has completely disappeared. The Hephaestus Kingdom has been working actively to remove illegal activities and gangs from the Kingdom. Although the Kingdom has been successful, it's still not enough. There were still many illegal things happening around the Kingdom. It would probably take at least 2 to 3 years to completely clean the Kingdom from inside.

Any time, a crime was committed, although the guards would arrest the criminals in front of everyone, but a few hours later, the same criminals would be roaming freely in the streets of Myra without any fear of being put in prison again.

The people of this City have been suffering. Major families in the city went to sleep every day with hungry stomachs. People were dying of starvation. There were no jobs for the common people. Prices of commodities had increased by 11 times just at the beginning of this year. All the wealthy and the ones who were enjoying everything were the ones who were doing their illegal businesses.

At first, once the war ended, things had improved a little bit but then the merchants who were bringing supplies to the City got blocked by two bandit groups. Despite being such an important city, Myra did not have a Teleportation Array. It used to have a Teleportation Array but the array was deliberately destroyed by the local gangs and criminals. Whenever the teleportation array was repaired or was in the middle of repairing, these gangs would destroy everything again. Even the City Lord was helpless as he could not do anything.

These two bandit groups used to be rivals but seeing how the King was taking out one gang after another, the two groups joined hands, and now both group members worked together.

Basically, the bandit groups forcefully took whatever supplies were sent to Myra before the supplies could reach the City. And then these groups would sell the same commodities that they have robbed at a very high price. And this is how the price of all things has spiked by 11 times since the beginning of this year.

No one took any action to stop this. The City Lord became blind when he started receiving a 25% cut from the total profits. The voices of the people who are suffering have been totally suppressed. As a result, the horrible things that were happening in this City had been ignored for months now. The King was busy with dealing with other things. And since no rumor had reached his ears till now, he wasn't even aware that the people of Myra were suffering and dying every single day.

In the public, the City Lord kept a positive image. From time to time, he would even go to the streets with his men and would hand out free food to the starving people to gain the people's trust and support. Every time, his people questioned him about why everything was so expensive, he would put the blame on the bandits and would say that the guards couldn't win against the bandits.

At first, his words sold every one. Everyone believed in him. But as time passed and the same thing kept repeating again and again more people started realizing the truth. People started waking up and saw the criminals that the guards captured just a few hours ago roaming in the streets freely.

They realized everything was nothing but a facade.
