Chapter 885: Vol V Chapter 245

The political changes in the human world were far deeper than any waters that an ordinary man could ever see.

As compared to the imminent dissolution of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, there was another matter that the insiders were secretly more frightened of.

After reading that report that had just arrived, Leon frowned.

“Are you sure?” he asked.

The adjutant nodded and whispered in a low voice, “Mr. Easter has personally confirmed it.”

Leon took a deep breath and knitted his brows. He stared hard at that report and fell into deep thoughts.

After a long time, he finally spoke up and asked, “This report... who else has seen it?”

“After getting Mr. Easter to review it, he told me not to go through the normal procedure and directly send it to you,” the adjutant replied. “So this report has never been shown to anyone else.”

Leon was silent for a moment, then he said, “There’s no way something like this can be kept a secret for long. Easter’s prudence, I can understand, but... in the face of an avalanche, being prudent isn’t of much use.”

With that, he sent the adjutant off to deal with other matters while he used the Channel of Religion to establish direct contact with Sui Xiong.

“Your Majesty, something big has happened,” he said right away. “I’m afraid there’s going to be a major battle in the human world.”

Sui Xiong was taken by surprise and immediately asked what was going on.

“Our intelligence agent has found out that the royal family of the Kingdom of the Blue Moon has contacted the Kingdom of Light to discuss the matter of establishing an alliance. Then they found out that the Kingdom of Eagle has already formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Light and is now in discussion with the Kingdom of the Blue Moon to discuss this matter. Also, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs is also participating in this discussion... The situation with the rest of the countries is unknown. According to Mr. Easter’s speculations, it was possible that the Mifata Federation, the Duchy of Thunder and the Dhaka Commercial Association are also joining this alliance.”

Sui Xiong froze for a moment—that would be equivalent to all the human countries coming together to form a huge alliance, right?

“I think that the situation of the human countries combining forces, is the prelude to them waging a final battle on the Orc Empire,” Leon said. “If there’s no accident, both the North and South of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins should have received the request for an alliance—maybe with the other countries mediating and dissuading from behind, it’s even possible to get both sides to conduct peace negotiations.”

Sui Xiong thought for a moment, then got Leon to wait for a moment while he directly went to find the Great Governor, Asner Yug.

She was one of the two marquises of the aristocratic party of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, the aunt of the present marquis, the “Marquis of Gemstones” of the Yug family. Other than the old marquis, who was so old that he could no longer engage himself in matters of government and management, she was the oldest person in the Yug family. Every time the Yug family held major meetings, they would send her invitations. But usually, her husband, Clito, and she would not attend. They would send their daughter, Yue, as their representative.

She should be the one who was clearest about everything when it came to all major matters related to the Commonwealth of Gold Coins.

Indeed, Asner knew about this matter. But even for Asner, all that she knew was that the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Eagle had joined hands to mediate, and after the mediation, they had proposed the alliance with the aristocratic party. As for anything else related to this matter, she too was not clear.

Despite being a part of the political field for so many years, she had always dealt with civil affairs. She had always lacked a deep understanding of the games played among superpowers on a diplomatic level. Maybe it was also due to her lack of interest that she could not even be bothered to ask about such things. From her point of view, the so-called “games played among superpowers” and so on, were nothing more than a bunch of incapable scums, who lacked the fighting abilities, going about to stir up trouble.

Superpower? How big? Were their fists as big as His Majesty, the Void Mask?

Alright, you were all saying that the gods were let into the fields to bully the people. So, were their fists as big as the Republic of Northwest?

This would not do, that would not do. And yet everyone was still prattling incessantly about something so useless and meaningless!

If these scums had the time to entertain silly thoughts and give the people trouble, why couldn’t they do some proper civil affairs work and let the people under their government live better lives?

Originally, her attitude was not that extreme. It was probably over the years where she had read many books that were crafted with Sui Xiong’s creativity and penned by Shoggoth that she gradually was influenced.

Shoggoth and Sui Xiong had co-written many books. There was poetry and prose, but most of them were s. These s were largely based on famous works no Earth. But many of these works had been heavily modified by Sui Xiong and Shoggoth. Thus, they had been changed beyond recognition from the original works.

For example, in one of their s entitled “The Sword to Rend the Sky and the Sword to Slay Dragons,” the protagonist became a joyful young man who never forgot about hatred. He once attempted to work through his hatred through moral cultivation under the guidance of an old sage. But because of some despicable fellow’s ungrateful pursuit, he fell into a valley. In the valley, he practiced diligently for five years and also pondered deeply for those five years. Then finally, he recollected all his hatred and became a courageous and ferocious avenger.

As for the sequel of this story, naturally it would be the launch of revenge after the “fearless ranger” made his way out of the mountains. One after the other, this fearless ranger executed all his enemies and his parents’ enemies. He was open but spared no scruples when it came to the use of dark means. The way he went about killing instilled great fear in his enemies who had to spend their days in a constant state of anxiety. There were even people who preemptively committed suicide to avoid implicating and endangering their family.

Through the process of seeking revenge, this ranger deeply experienced the darkness of society and the sufferings of the people. Especially after seeing the conspiracies between his enemies and the corrupted, brutal rulers, he was even more acutely aware that his parents’ tragedy was merely an epitome of the many tragedies of people in this world who were being oppressed, exploited and fettered. After all, his parents’ deaths were because they chose to maintain their own positions, and thus, they were forced to the point of no way out by this cruel and dark society. action

So he held the flag of protest high and set off a vigorous revolution. Finally, he defeated the old dynasty and established a new era.

When he declined the position of king and went away with his sword that was incorporated with Divine Power, he only left the new king that dragon-slaying sword that symbolized authority, as well as his admonition.

“Govern the country well. If otherwise, sooner or later, your posterity will see me draw this sword of mine again.”

Exactly what kind of background this story had was naturally self-evident. But after Sui Xiong and Shoggoth’s repeated modifications, the story became more concise and positive. It was filled with the passion for war against the world, as well as the love and concern for the poor people—and it was also deeply abhorred by many rulers.

This book was only one of the s from the series of works by the great writer, Schwarier von Stolovsky Franz, who had published at least a hundred works in his name over the past few decades. Though the stories differed from one another, the underlying tone that threaded through the stories was consistently uniform. As a loyal fan of his books, Asner Yug was deeply attracted to that heroic and passionate vibe of the stories he wrote. And so, she grew increasingly disinterested in politics.

Otherwise, she would have discovered the problem much earlier.

After receiving Sui Xiong’s order, she immediately contacted her nephew and asked him about the situation in detail. That was when she got to know that basically, the work of forming an alliance comprising the many human countries had already progressed into the later stage. Not only the Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of Eagle and the aristocratic party of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins had joined the alliance, but even the vast majority of the rest of the human countries had joined the alliance. Even the merchant party who had just fought a great battle with the aristocratic party was in discussion about matters relevant to joining the alliance.

In other words, a great alliance that would pervade the entire Main Plane like a colossal net was gradually taking form.
