"Bankrupt, you say? What do you mean, Father?" Freya asked, a hint of doubt in her voice.
The Holy Empire of Valtanir was vast and prosperous. It seemed impossible that such a nation could face bankruptcy.
"The bankruptcy I'm referring to is exactly what you think." Ragan said with a small chuckle. "Don't be deceived by the empire's outward show of strength. In reality, they've been severely weakened by the destruction of their capital. You've heard about it, haven't you?"
"The destruction of Valtanir's capital?" Freya's brows knit together. "Yes, I have. It was caused by the Singularity of Chaos, wasn't it?"
Halveran, the capital of the Holy Empire of Valtanir, had once been a highly advanced city on par with Solvaria of the Great Velmora Empire.
However, one year ago, the Singularity of Chaos launched a sudden assault on Halveran, reducing the entire city to rubble.
There were no casualties, but every structure and piece of infrastructure was completely destroyed.
