Low Dimensional Game
chapter-180

"Open the city gate!" In the early hours of the morning, a soldier who had rushed for three days and three nights on horseback finally arrived at the capital, calling out to be let in. He was allowed inside after showing his credentials.

Panting, he handed over a letter from the governor of the northern Urabell province, which was controlled directly by the royal family. The letter was immediately sent to the palace.

Apparently, in the middle of the night, all of the top officials of the Crete Empire were notified about the uprising of hundreds of thousands of orcs slaves, as well as the chaos that had ensued in the aftermath.

The governor of Urabell quickly mustered thousands of his troops in an attempt to suppress the orcs before they could completely organize, but his men were defeated by the rebel leaders, who led tens of thousands of mutinous slaves. The governor had been killed in the chaos, and as a result, the entire Urabell province had fallen.

Emperor Zolman II and Prime Minister Tembor had held an emergency meeting overnight, within which, Emperor Zolman II seemed extremely agitated. He kept demanding for troops to be sent out immediately in order to silence the rebellion at Urabell.

His urgency could be explained by the fact that the Urabell province was an important source of tax revenue for troop recruitment. In recent days, Emperor Zolman II's power had been severely weakened due to a series of bad political maneuvers on his part. As a result, his uncle, Duke Tembor, had seized power, even gaining partial control over the military.

In addition, Zolman II's relationships with most of the royal family were strained at best. So, if he lost these royal territories, then he would fall completely out of favor with them. Although it had not been long since the last emperor, Vodigan, had passing away, Zolman II had already destroyed the progress he had made during his reign.

However, during the meeting, the Duke of Tembor and the other nobles were not as impatient as Zolman II. The way they saw it, this was only a rebellion that had been started by mere slaves. Among these slaves, there was not even a single trained soldier, much less any Blood Knights!

Instead, two hundred thousand peasants had simply picked up weapons, divided themselves into several factions belonging to different forces, and launched a revolt. In light of this fact, they would only need to send some of their knights to easily suppress them!

Moreover, these slaves were not human, but were only some orcs! As such, they would never be able to get any support in the Crete Empire, nor would they get any sympathy from the commoners!

Most importantly, the current chaos had not occurred in their territory, as most of the participants of the conference were direct allies of Duke Tembor. As such, they were more than happy to see the influence of Emperor Zolman II weakened. At the same time, this matter also dealt a major blow to the prestige of Duke Tembor, who immediately began looking for a scapegoat.

In actuality, this group wasn't worried about the rebellion of the 200,000 slaves, but rather the attitude of the empire of orcs in the north. The diplomat from the orc empire had taken a strong stance against Crete, which had ended in discord. Soon after, these slaves began a rebellion, which now posed an unbelievable coincidence.

"We must first suppress the rebellion initiated by these darn orcs!"

"Yes! No matter what conspiracy the orc empire is orchestrating, whether they have sent troops to our empire or not, we must first suppress these slaves!"

"Who are we sending to clean this mess up?"

"Have the nobles from the nearby territories sent troops? Ask them to annihilate these rebels in the name of His Majesty the Emperor!"

Amid a wealth of commentary, several documents, which had been signed in the name of the Emperor, were immediately distributed from the capital. Within a day, most of the people in the city had learned of the slave rebellion.

"I heard that the slaves had rebelled! There were 200,000 of them! They scorched and looted the province of Urabell. The entire Urabell province fell, and even the governor was killed." People continued whispering everywhere, even in pubs and alleyways!

"They're only mere slaves. The emperor and Lord Tembor have sent troops that will quell the rebellion soon."

"What about the orcs empire? Some time ago, the messenger of the orcs empire had asked us to release the orc slaves, which led to a dispute. A small misstep in this situation is likely to lead to a war."

Meanwhile, Eva changed her outfit, putting on a cloak and a hat. She then dutifully followed Lu Zhiyu, listening to the chatter en route.

"Master, why do humans have strange things like war?" she asked.

After looking at Eva, Lu Zhiyu said, "Because of their desires. Since human beings have desires, they will have disputes and differences, which will lead to wars. As long as desires exist, wars will as well."

Eva frowned at Lu Zhiyu, then thought for a long time. Although she had some thoughts on the subject, she did not fully understand it.

After entering the old castle of the Rosa Bianca caravan, they saw that the merchants were all packed up and ready to go. Many people, who seemed to have been living in the castle, were also packing up their things. In fact, it seemed like they were leaving the capital.

The leader of the merchants had heard about the recent rebellion and the conflict between the Crete Empire and the Holy Seville Empire. So, he had chosen to abandon their base here to return to their hometown in the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro. Lu Zhiyu would be travelling with them through the Mica Province and the Sea of ​​Death to the mysterious desert empire, Batko.

Lu Zhiyu was careful to not interfere with the war between the humans and orcs. After all, he was solely focused on his breakthrough to level eight mythical wizard and the mid-level mythical life template design.

After Eva had gained the ability to interfere with the Time Freeze domain, he was finally able to move this agenda along. Although Eva's Time Freeze domain was very powerful, it was still inferior to the abilities of a mythical wizard. As a level four wizard, her degree of control, her range, and her environmental effects were heavily restricted.

However, it was clear that this sort of mid-level mythical ability was formidable. In the range that she could control, all of the special abilities of the other party were completely neutralized. Thus, she was the master and ruler of her domain!

For comparison, Lu Zhiyu could utilize the Divine Kingdom Gaia in the sky to create an impossibly huge domain. Lu Zhiyu was going to upgrade his low-level mythical life template, Dream Control, to a mid-level mythical template.

Lu Zhiyu would then combine this area of effect ability with his ability over dreamspaces, since they were extremely compatible. In this way, the originally intangible dream space could directly change the real world by interfering with reality and manipulating the laws of the world!

This was not the same as the previous dream field, which had been created from his awareness and was based on the information plane. Instead, this one was based on a true interference upon reality. As such, its existence was projected upon reality. Now, Lu Zhiyu's ability was finally both illusory and real!

Lu Zhiyu was going to call this ability Dream Projection, and then name the mid-level mythical template Dream Lord. The Dream Lord mythical life template was still based upon the calculations of the Sub-Brain on Gaia in the Divine Kingdom.

This meant that, as soon as the construction of the template was complete, Lu Zhiyu could finally become a level eight mythical wizard!
