King-Chapter 1437 - 6, Suppression_2
Chapter 1437: Chapter 6, Suppression_2
As for the problem of the powerful minister becoming too influential, he is first the Chancellor of the Kingdom, and only then the Chancellor of the King.
All the pressure fell on Caesar IV. He had just swallowed a sigh, and now another wave had been handed to him.
Yet Caesar IV dared not act recklessly, for the negative example was right beside him.
The unfortunate Joseph II next door, who played political balance, ended up losing his country.
Having witnessed the horror of the nobility disputes between the east and west of the Warhammer Kingdom, the north-south disputes of the Alpha Kingdom had finally settled down.
Even if there were internal struggles, everyone tacitly restricted them to within the rules, seldom engaging in partisan suppression.
"Let’s do as the Chancellor says!"
Caesar IV answered somewhat reluctantly.
It was purely a compromise for the greater good, with a hint of dissatisfaction with Marquis Delgado in his tone.
Those present tacitly pretended not to see it.
Opening the history book, you will find that there were few good relationships between Kings and Chancellors. Even if they were confidants initially, conflicts emerged later.
The inherent opposition between royal power and ministerial power causes them to inevitably clash on many issues.
For instance, now, everyone knew that Prime Minister Delgado’s proposal was in the best interest of the Kingdom. Caesar IV adopted it, yet deep down, he was displeased.
There was a feeling of: You are the Chancellor I promoted; how can you only think from the Kingdom’s perspective and not from my position as King?
...
Frank Empire, Lutesya Palace.
Charles III awoke from his slumber, looking at the urgent dispatches in his hands, his rage was boiling.
Over thirty urgent pleas for help in a row, as if doomsday had arrived.
It showed from a side angle how much the Clergy valued the number one power of the Human Race. Even if their overt forces were expelled, they still had implanted so many nails secretly.
"What’s going on, why did so many changes occur last night?"
Charles III asked with a face full of doubt.
The arrival of extra-dimensional creatures was nothing new.
The Frank Empire, being vast, had some unlucky ones summoned now and then.
But these were rare events, after all, summoners weren’t exactly a mainstream profession.
"Your Majesty, we haven’t discovered the cause yet. There seem to be traces of artificial summoning.
However, from the gathered intelligence, all major forces across the continent have been attacked by extra-dimensional creatures. We have yet to discover any hidden force with such strength."
Prime Minister Duke Bergson said with a face full of frustration.
The large-scale arrival of extra-dimensional creatures disturbed the Empire from top to bottom, yet they couldn’t find the cause.
All the suspect major forces were suspected all over again, but alas, they played the martyr’s ploy.
The Clergy also faced trouble, but their forces huddled together so that even when extra-dimensional creatures arrived, the damage was limited.
To make it look more genuine, they even deliberately let exotic creatures escape to the territories controlled by the Allied Forces, causing trouble for the enemy along the way.
"Forget it, if we can’t figure it out, let’s not obsess over it.
Immediately organize forces to suppress them, especially in places where sanctuary-level demons appeared, we must extinguish them quickly!"
Charles III said ferociously.
It was clear he was truly enraged. If he knew who the mastermind was, he would have them torn to pieces.
...
Southeastern Province, a young girl was leading a small merchant convoy fleeing everywhere, with an elderly person on the verge of death in the convoy.
After hunting geese all day, finally pecked by one!
The Skeleton Holy Master, who had played with summoning the Evil God many times, was backlashed this time. If not for dodging fast enough, he would have become a snack for the creatures he summoned.
Just thinking about it was depressing, as a lurking member of the Clergy, he had never dreamed that the Clergy would play so ruthlessly.
As a devout believer of the Lord of the Dawn, the task of summoning the Fallen Angel naturally had to be handed over to someone else.
However, in recent years, the Skeleton Society’s development had suffered setbacks on the Northern Continent, especially with its strength severely damaged in the Alpha Kingdom.
The tasks from above were heavy, and the subordinates were insufficient, so as the boss, he had to personally take charge.
For safety, the elder chose to adhere to a lawful demon advocating equivalent exchange and personally conducted the summoning ritual.
But alas, not only was there a problem with the secret technique provided by the Clergy, but even the precious sacrificial materials provided were tampered with.
The summoned Abyssal Demons not only didn’t treat these summoners any differently, but instead launched an immediate massacre.
In comparison, the elder was relatively lucky. This time only a group of high-level demons was summoned, not a sanctuary-level Demon King.
After fighting tooth and nail, he narrowly escaped with his life, yet he had no choice but to embark on a path of escape.
A leader of a cult who spent a lifetime either causing destruction or on the path to causing destruction, now found himself hoping the Alpha Kingdom could quickly quell the Magic Cataclysm.
Indeed ironic, but there was no other way.
Perhaps due to the inferior sacrificial materials, he was remembered by the demons he summoned and was pursued relentlessly.
If not for the nobles along the way who instinctively organized armies to encircle the demons, he would have already perished.
"Guna, grandfather has been marked by the Devil and can no longer escape.
The continent is about to fall into chaos!
Once you leave here, use your talents to find a peaceful land and settle down!"
The elder said kindly.
Were it not for the blood at the corner of his mouth, it would have been like an ordinary conversation between grandparent and grandchild.
"Grandfather, you should quickly heal!"
