Chapter 2208 Winter is Coming
in the subsequent weeks, jin and the rest of the mages, military and ress royal construction, a 'government' owned body had begun the reconstruction of new ress cities as well as the other towns that had been affected by the week long war with the celestials.
most of the citizens were rather resilient after working tremendously hard for the past year and with the ministry cabinet putting up standard work protocols and emergency plans for 'business continuity'' purposes, it was rather easy to just follow the steps and advice of the leaders to promptly clear the situation at hand.
in that short span of time, new ress city was up once again, presenting itself to be the crown jewel for the entire kingdom to envy. this time around without the need of an isolation barrier, new ress city utilised every space possible, horizontally and vertically to ensure that everyone had enough housing and the facilities were sufficiently widespread to get things done.
on the military side of things, the zombies working to harass the southern kingdoms was a sufficient endeavour while jin had also managed to complete his envisioning of the ress great wall ...or at the very least, its foundations. most of the southern kingdoms were a little preoccupied with the zombie enmassing threat that mong empire had presented and thus decided to leave ress alone.
but they had no idea that ress was able to recuperate in less than a quarter of a month. in fact, after the war against celestials, the spies who had been recruited to watch at the side reported the devastating damage ress had incurred and they immediately assumed it would take years for them to get back to where they were.nôv(el)b\\jnn
however, when the southern kingdoms requested a subsequent report, they realised that such spies were not responding ever again. (partially due to a certain group of foxes) with the impending winter and the rise of the mong zombies, the southern kingdoms decided to postpone their invasion against the ress. some were even hopeful that the ress might deteriorate even more with the incoming winter.
there were even ways to combat the cold out at the frontlines which made guarding felt like a night out to gaze at the stars. the spies were flabbergasted at the shocking pace of how ress was recovering they felt that it was a waste to return home. they could just defect and move into ress and not suffer the non existent technologies that their kingdoms offered.
however, only a handful maintained their stance and oath for their kingdoms and when it was time to slip out to pass the information, they had no idea that there would be guards waiting for them right outside of their apartments. even their own neighbours had pulled out their rifles to aim at them and there was no place to run.
even the emergency teleport scrolls or communication scrolls were not working as intended. all of them were 'activated' but every single one of it was intercepted, making escape almost impossible. the agents were then sent for interrogations but instead of the brutal ones that one usually would experience, the officers actually gave these agents a chance to stab their kingdoms from the back.
it was to the point, that the offer was too sweet to be true that most agents caved in and swore a new oath for ress. only a small number that can be counted with one's fingers had defied all the way. those were the few who had been subjected to star foxes' way of getting information and forcefully transformed into a turncoat of the kingdom they were serving.
all in all, it was a smooth sailing experience for ress to give the kingdoms around the assumption that everything was going well. they had no idea that when spring came, those kingdoms were the ones that were going to submit under the heavy hand of ress royal military.
they had prepared sufficiently against the celestials because of their overwhelming quantity of celestials and their magical beasts. but when fighting against humans? they have more than sufficient capability to invade from the north and south of southern kingdoms, uniting them into ress and eventually allowing jin to ascend to emperorhood within atopia.
