Chapter 1436: Chapter 6: Suppression
The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility.
After quelling the chaos at Blood Moon Castle, there was no ti to rest. Hudson instructed the garrison to watch over the fainted fallen angels and continued on to the next destination.
Before departing, he didn’t forget to apply an enchantnt seal on these captives.
There was no choice; too many places were asking for aid.
Almost simultaneously, thirteen incidents of extra-dinsional creatures descending occurred within the kingdom, most in densely populated areas.
Hudson didn’t know the exact descent pattern, but suppressing them was the right call.
…
Jade Palace.
“Your Majesty, Marshal Hudson has acted and pacified the chaos at Blood Moon Castle, even capturing twelve fallen angel captives!”
Upon hearing the Palace Minister’s report, Caesar IV breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dream he just had, he received multiple urgent calls for help, as if overnight, a Magic Cataclysm descended upon the land.
Even the capital experienced an undead pandemic, but fortunately, the capital had a large number of experts and a sufficiently elite garrison to prevent a disaster.
However, it was a different story for other areas.
Not every city is a military fortress like Blood Moon Castle; so cities with fewer garrisons have already lost contact.
After a series of bad news, finally receiving so good news made life slightly more bearable.
“Why, Palace Minister, do you seem to have more to say?”
Caesar IV asked with curiosity.
“Your Majesty, news from Blood Moon Castle indicates that during the battle against the fallen angels, Marshal Hudson wielded the Holy Sword of Light.
Judging by his displayed strength, he began at least at the Sanctuary level, maybe even a strongman within the Sanctuary!”
Palace Minister Count Mitchell answered gravely.
Whether Hudson secretly possessed the Holy Sword of Light or his displayed astonishing power was shocking news for the continent.
Standing from the kingdom’s standpoint, having such an expert within the country is definitely a positive thing.
However, for the Royal Family, it is sowhat awkward. This suggests Hudson, already high in position and power, will further expand his influence in the kingdom after the battle.
Despite the shock, Caesar IV felt a trace of relief. If not for this battle’s exposure, who knows how long Hudson would have kept this hidden.
A minister with power is scary; a minister who hides their strength is even scarier!
After a fierce inner struggle, Caesar IV reluctantly said, “Let’s pretend that none of these things happened.
Once the news about the Holy Sword of Light is confird, let the Great Shepherd issue a notice as a supplental explanation.”
He let it slide!
Being unable to suppress it, he might as well not bother trying.
Facing soone as abnormal as Hudson, Caesar IV truly wishes to avoid direct confrontation.
Being a master of warfare would already be troubleso enough; combined with his formidable personal strength makes him completely invincible!
Suppressing, one must consider the consequences.
If things go awry, and they directly clash, the Royal Family might not even be able to defeat the Koslow Family led by Hudson.
In wars with huge power disparities, Hudson has won many tis.
Summoning underlings doesn’t help; facing Hudson, the God of War, the morale plumts sharply.
This is not like facing the Orcs, where everyone has to fight to the death.
If things go wrong, the nobles might directly surrender right after eting him and then join his victory celebration.
The phenonon of the King unable to defeat the local lords is nothing novel on the Continent of Aslante.
If they lose the battle, the Royal Family’s prestige will utterly collapse. Trying to command the nation again will be increasingly difficult.
Unless absolutely necessary, Caesar IV wants to avoid risks.
“Your Majesty, you’re right; it is indeed not wise to cause more trouble now!”
Count Mitchell nodded in agreent.
The kingdom needs unity!
There is still the great enemy of Orcs outside, and internally, endless magic cataclysms are not yet resolved. They cannot afford internal discord.
Just as their conversation ended, a group of Ministers hurriedly arrived at the court.
“Your Majesty, the situation is quite dire!
Just received news from embassies across the land; Magic Cataclysms have appeared everywhere.
Fallen angels, abyssal demons, undead creatures, evil spirits…
A series of creatures from another world have descended across the continent, causing chaos everywhere!
…”
After Foreign Minister Marquis Omar spoke, Caesar IV was directly stupefied.
It turns out that it’s not just Alpha Kingdom that’s affected, but the entire Human World is plunged into chaos.
The next thing is to see the situation on the side of the different races. If they’re also unlucky, then the entire continent is in turmoil.
Instantly, the “millennial calamity” legend erged in people’s minds.
Only a few years have passed since the rumor, and considering the timing is close to the millennial node, it’s hard not to associate the two events together.
“Your Majesty, the current situation is already urgent.
We must accelerate the Royal City garrison’s combat pace. After suppressing the undead pandemic, imdiately deploy experts to reinforce other battlefields swiftly.
Please order the Governors of each province to imdiately rally provincial armies to suppress these heresies. If the Governor isn’t present, let the Military Officer take charge.
If none are within the country, have them publicly select a prestigious noble to lead the main suppression.
Authorize Marshal Hudson to command all armies of the kingdom, responsible for coordinating the dostic suppression battle!”
Pri Minister Duke Delgado was the first to propose.
It can’t be delayed any longer; if this truly is the millennial calamity, considering historical docuntation, what’s happening now could only be seen as starters.
These civil officials may be unskilled in military affairs, so let those with abilities take charge.
Presently, the most crucial aspect is to preserve as much of the kingdom’s vitality as possible, preparing for the impending continental turmoil.
