The city of Yanhuxiangshan is one of the important transport hubs in the northern Protoss Empire. [Google Search]

Surrounded by rolling hills, a winding river meanders through the city. When spring arrives, it brings boundless vitality to this place.

The architectural style is deeply influenced by mountain elements, using stone and wood as the main materials. It cleverly blends with the surrounding natural scenery.

But the weather this year has been strange and especially cold.

In the southern cities of the Empire, where temperatures are always warm, it is said that snow began to fall when winter first arrived.

It's early March now, but there's no sign of the cold snap letting up. There are even occasional heavy snowfalls that cover most of the buildings in this city with white, blending seamlessly with the surrounding snowy landscape and icy mountain ranges.

The magic-powered train station of He Boxian is located at the westernmost edge of the city, known as "Rock Convergence". It's one of the busiest transportation hubs in the entire city, and even the north. The building itself is a marvel of engineering, combining modern technology with traditional stonework techniques, making it both durable and windproof.

On the tracks of the station, the screeching of brakes and the grinding of wheels against rails grew progressively louder.

A magically powered train from the south raced onto the platform layer.

Next to the window seat in the front row of the carriage.

"It seems like we're in a restricted area now."

Ranche closed the book in his hand with one hand, put it away, and looked out the window at the gradually slowing scenery, muttering to himself.

According to the itinerary, the two of them should get off at this city and, after passing through security checks, transfer to the next train.

Or, to put it another way, all passengers arriving at this station, after their passes have been checked for identification, only have two options ahead of them.

Continuing northward brings you to the northern border.

Heading west will lead you to the Northwestern Province, which also borders the kingdom of Aethra.

To be honest, I haven't even been here myself.

West Germany yawned and covered his mouth.

When the three bishops initially chose their missions, Overbearing chose the relatively stable and conservative South Bank, while Desolation chose the chaotic and war-torn Northwest of the Imperial City. Mourning, meanwhile, opted for the East of the Imperial City, a region that was prosperous but with the most complex aristocratic power struggles.

Nearly each one-third, with the Imperial City of Helrom as a converging point.

>From Lanch and Westward, as they moved north, the Silverarm Overlords' priests were absent. Instead, there were mainly Obliteration priests in dark gray robes and Lamentation priests in dark blue robes. A little further north, reaching the Controlled Zone, only Obliteration priests remained.

"Why don't you choose the east side"

Lanche asked curiously.

Although these are topics that shouldn't be discussed casually in public, the fact that others wouldn't understand what they're talking about makes it harmless.

"Those aristocratic forces in the east are very powerful and have many strong individuals. Their relationships and factions are very stable. If you go there, you either have to please those big nobles or establish numerous cooperative relationships with them."

West Germany, with both hands clasped together, said.

There is still more than a month left until the election in the capital. A large portion of the votes are in the hands of the nobles in the Upper House and the officials in the Lower House.

Although the East side has a clear advantage in the number of key votes.

But she clearly wasn't the type to speak politely with the empire's powerful figures. If they dared to be insolent, she might accidentally kill a noble.

Anyway, even with a family having eight-ranked guardians, she could still kill whoever she wanted, and no one could stop her.

But if she did that, her chance to become the voice of the Resurrection Church in the Protoss Empire would be nearly gone.

She would rather choose the north than the east.

"That's right."

Lance nodded. He supposed so, too.

It seems that with this leader's guidance, even if the hegemonic Church does nothing, it can still lie down in the south and receive the support of a large number of nobles and officials.

The key is to figure out exactly how the Annihilation Branch in the north and the Mourning Branch in the east have developed.

On the east side, it's fine; people from the Batian branch are conducting real-time investigations and reporting.

Even with powerful Inquisitors dispatched to the sealed northern border, information transmission remains severely delayed.

So Sigrid, being the domineering one in her faith, decided to come and see for herself.

More importantly, if the two of them could cause trouble, it's possible they could severely damage the reputation of the Extinction Branch in the north.

"Speaking of those imperial noble factions in the east, what exactly is their stance on this war"

Lanche wasn't sure if he truly understood the situation in the east. After all, some insider information couldn't be obtained simply through hearsay.

Sieglinde chose the southern side after all, she should know better about the differences between the three regions of the empire.

Ranch also heard that some major nobles needed war to solidify their status, after all, the status of some families was built on military force. He also heard that those big nobles wanted to frame each other, and in the end, none of them could get down. He also heard that some families had already been engaged in the arms industry, just waiting for war to break out.

"They all have their own interests, but once war breaks out, most of the nobles in the east will become a drag. They always prioritize their own interests above all else, so they are essentially pacifists."

"..."

"I don't want to deal with those high-ranking nobles, so I'd rather choose the conservative faction in the south who are more determined."

Sigrid clearly looked down on those powerful figures from the East, and she didn't care for their power or riches.

But then she reconsidered, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Lan Qi.

"Logically speaking, in a while, the nobles of the east might come to know the name Loch MacCassy."

Why

But many nobles wanted their children to attend Protoss Royal Academy of Magic, the best school in the Protoss Empire.

If you heard that Rocky McCasky was the current principal, you might give him a little face.

"I always separate my public and private life, so don't expect me to use my position to do you any favors."

Lanche reminded.

He doesn't want his sacred profession to be misused by Sigrid.

Public is public, private is private.

Protoss Royal Academy of Magic is his personal property and should not be used for the affairs of the Hegemon branch.

"Tsk, my favorability dropped."

West Germany clicked his tongue.

"Hey, didn't you say that the character West Germany is separate from you Why would you lower West Germany's favorability"

Lance widened his eyes in surprise.

Because West Germany was a very willful girl.

"...."

The ranger's desire wanes and then returns.

He actually really wanted to ask about the true age of Domination Catholicism, but he was afraid that if he asked that question, West would leave the team.
