No idea how to do spoilers, buuuuut I guess that doesn't matter much as long as I type up enough stuff to stop any spoilery stuff from showing up in the feed.

So, we already know Rou did some prepwork on the Empire, but it turns out that he used his fate plunder ability on pretty much all of them. Not sure what the exact effects are, but it seems likely that he gave them the worst fates possible for the crusade. The Wolf Hero and the Insect Hero faced off against Netsuki (the Flame Lord) and Avenger with the expected results. The story didn't actually focus all that much on the fights of Parabellum, actually. Quite the reverse. It was mostly about how the heroes of each country faced off against Rou's trials and forces. In the end, although they managed to kill some heroes and leaders among the Crusade forces, it seems they weren't strong enough to actually face off against the entirety of their combined army. Lots of them ended up ranking up from the experience, though, and about 400 of them had died.

There's quite a few ridiculous heroes. Like. The fujoshi hero. The meal hero. There's even a hero for illegaly acquired money. Don't know how you can be a hero for that, but yeah. It's also interesting to find out what some of the Holy Kingdom's cardinals can do. The hunting and star reading heroes were obvious, but the number hero was suprising. The guy apparently clubs things out of existence by lowering their probability of existing.

The saints were just straight up powerful. The saint with the sword could cut through space and the saint with the shield could also cut through space, but to protect others instead. The savior was a support type character, like it was said in the Holy Kingdom's sidestory. She could buff everyone up and they pretty much gained the vitality of zombies. Unless it was a completely fatal injury, they'd be able to survive and get healed up by the savior. Her big move in the end was essentially cloning an army of all the dead heroes; as long as she had a piece of their DNA  and the original person she was cloning was dead, she could keep creating more of them. This is also the reason why she and the saints went around hunting legendary creatures; she was collecting samples of their body she could use to produce clones. Of course, they were all on the level of kings and emperors. In the end, Rou ended up killing several thousand heroes (of all varieties), kings, emperors, and saints. The only ones who actually ended up surviving in the end were the rock hero from the kingdom, the meal hero (who was Rou's top priority to capture), and the fujoshi hero who fucked off from the final battle along with Aifu to have a "discussion". Rou and his 8 generals pretty much had the advantage from beginning to end. Fitting, since they were the final bosses instead of the dungeon challengers this time.
