"Oh, oh, the fight is really intense."
On the hills near the city of Palermo, the demigod "puppet master" Derek screamed exaggeratedly, while Mi'er stood beside him, holding her forehead speechlessly.
In front of them was a banshee with a dull expression, holding something like a bronze mirror in her hand, which showed a scene of Sidlifa fighting wildly.
The two were watching the war scene where Sidlifa was located through a certain traitorous banshee flying over the battlefield.
"Sidelifa rushed so hard, she should be okay, right?" Mier said worriedly.
She observed the future world lines. In most cases, Sidlifa would not be injured in this naval battle, but there were a few future lines where she was injured. The most serious one even had her arm broken - her shoulder blade was pierced by a bone spear, and then chopped off by the Skeleton Knight.
This is the tricky thing about fate: there are countless possibilities for the future, and you can only observe different futures and the corresponding probabilities, but you cannot confirm that reality will eventually collapse towards that future line.
If Sidlifa broke her arm... Well, it's not impossible to save it. Nora's "Life IV" can regenerate a broken limb, and it will probably take a few months. But the plan to plot against the Otwell family will inevitably be affected.
"It's alright, Lord Messiah." Derek said unconcernedly, "The one leading the fleet this time is Mum'in, a mad general who rose from a vengeful spirit. I don't think he can cause any harm to your companions."
"A vengeful spirit?" Mier asked curiously.
"Skeleton clan, vampire clan, ghost clan, and corpse witch are the four major races in our Hafsta kingdom of the dead. They can be traced back to the ancient Carthage in the early Third Age." Derek explained.
"Among them, the skeletons and ghosts are almost all transformed from dead humans, so their innate IQ is not very high, so most of them are enslaved by the blood clan and corpse witches. People like Mu Min who stand out from ordinary vengeful spirits and become undead lords may be considered smart among the ghosts, but they are far inferior to those humans with slightly better brains."
"So that's how it is." Mi'er said thoughtfully.
Obviously, even in the eternally silent kingdom of the dead, oppression and slavery still exist. Skeletons and ghosts transformed from dead humans are far lower in status than vampires and corpse witches transformed from living people.
However, as a modern Messiah, her focus is still on helping humanity, and she does not have the energy to start a revolution in the Kingdom of the Dead for the time being.
Seeing that Miss Messiah was somewhat interested in this, Derek smiled and continued to introduce:
"In our place, the vampires and skeletons are one faction. Most of them live in the oases and river banks in the inland areas, relying on the manor economy and raising serfs for their livelihood. Ghosts and corpse witches are another faction. They gather in the port cities on the coast and mostly accumulate wealth through the Mediterranean trade."
"There are actually many conflicts between the two factions. As early as the Carthaginian period, the Corpse Witch faction strongly advocated external expansion and control of the Mediterranean trade routes, while the Blood Clan faction had little interest in this."
"So when Carthage was defeated in the Punic Wars, the Solomonites cunningly asked Carthage to hand over the defeated Hannibal. Under the pressure of the blood clan faction, Hannibal had no choice but to exile himself and eventually died outside his homeland."
