Chapter 1505: Chapter 31, Plotting_2
Compared to three hundred years ago, the combat effectiveness of the royal family’s private army has increased by more than a notch.
Whether it’s logistics, soldier training, or weaponry, there have been significant improvents.
If there had been such an army back then, he would have had the confidence to establish an empire.
The tis are different now, which ans that his old experience is likely outdated.
For a monarch, being outdated is very frightening.
It’s hard to understand how Alpha the First could allow the kingdom’s military authority to slip away despite having such an elite royal family.
However, considering that orcs have been beaten so badly by the kingdom in recent years, this seems much more reasonable.
The strength of the royal family has increased, and the strength of the nobles has also increased.
The twelve provinces’ direct fiefs are the foundation that Alpha the First dread of.
The only regret is that there are too many newly acquired territories; developnt is only halfway complete and still requires ti.
Strengthening the power base is good for the royal family, but it’s a big problem for him personally.
The foundation was mostly established under Caesar IV, this seemingly harmless junior is obviously not as simple as he appears.
There’s no luck in success; “winning lying down” is also a kind of ability.
Especially in this process, Caesar IV went solo with the dostic nobles and sohow wasn’t caught.
Sotis, having too capable juniors is also a worry!
Of course, Alpha the First can only express this sentint to himself, or he’d get beaten up.
Those Sanctuary powerhouses whose realms have been destroyed are stifling a lot of anger with nowhere to vent it!
Emotional issues are just minor problems.
The key is losing the aid of forces, which ans they are at a disadvantage in upcoming competitions.
…
“Alpha, have you considered it?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Alpha the First furrowed his brow.
“Gustav, the Warhamr Kingdom is already history, so why are you so obsessed with restoring it?”
The fading of passion is the norm, but there are always a few exceptions.
Other strongn clamored for revival just not to lose face before “old friends,” but Gustav was serious.
Seeking support, he approached Alpha the First for cooperation.
Undoubtedly, Gustav had encountered the wrong person.
For those who practice the Emperor Law, they only complain about their country not being strong enough, so why support Warhamr Kingdom’s revival?
Bear in mind that the land under his feet used to belong to the Warhamr Kingdom!
Though it exchanged hands twice from the Ancient Heritage Alliance and Moxi People, once Warhamr Kingdom is reestablished, it would eventually claim these old territories.
Current promises are useless; political trust always has an expiration date.
Perhaps this generation of Warhamr Clan would be grateful for helping them restore their kingdom, but the next generation would only rember their lost lands.
“Alpha, stop saying those snide remarks!
Your juniors have erged abundantly, leaving behind a prosperous nation, so you can be indifferent.
But the country my brother left behind beca ruins.
I promised him that I would take good care of the Warhamr Kingdom.
If the Warhamr Kingdom isn’t restored, how can I explain myself when I reach the Kingdom of God!”
Gustav’s heartfelt words only brought a roll of the eyes from Alpha the First.
“Gustav, do you really believe those charlatans’ nonsense?
That crap about the Kingdom of God, it’s all just to fool the believers.
Even Divine Spirits can’t exist forever, so why would they shelter so many believers’ souls and let them exist eternally?
I think the souls entering the Kingdom of God end up becoming its growth food.
Instead of yearning for encounters in the Kingdom of God, why not work hard in cultivation and seek further advancent in power!”
Every strongman has their own beliefs.
The Sanctuary Powerhouses on the Continent of Aslante are mostly non-believers.
Even those who once had faith in Divine Spirits gradually abandon their belief as their strength increases.
Ultimately, it boils down to the low status of Divine Spirits on the Continent of Aslante.
Their avatars descending on the continent and being slaughtered is commonplace.
The most famous Divine Spirits on the continent all have notorious histories of their avatars being killed.
True bodies descending face doom; even having their godheads snatched isn’t unusual.
With so many of these incidents happening, people’s awe for Divine Spirits gradually dissipated.
“Hmph!”
“Save it, Alpha!
You’re just here calling out; what about yourself?
Of all those strongn who’ve returned from overseas to compete with juniors for power, you’re the first one.
You’ve endured through more than three hundred years; I don’t believe you still crave power so much. If you weren’t scheming, would you lower your status to lead troops?”
With Gustav piercing the paper window, Alpha the First’s expression instantly darkened.
No matter how he conceals, so abnormal behaviors cannot escape familiar eyes.
If Gustav can think of this, then several returning kingdom strongn can sense sothing amiss too.
While overseas, everyone was friends mutually looking out for each other, neighbors for hundreds of years, they know each other too well!
“It’s none of your business!”
“Gustav, how do you want to cooperate?”
Alpha the First asked, feeling complicated.
He reluctantly considered assisting Warhamr Kingdom’s revival, but the current situation forced him to seek more support.
Caesar IV monitored him very closely, and Major Nobles disliked this power-craving old king, making it extrely difficult to seek aid within the kingdom.
This expedition is the best example; as commander, Alpha the First faced resistance, many orders from the subordinates were selectively executed.
Too many in the military secretly reported to Caesar IV, and Alpha the First just silently endured.
“I help you ascend, you help restore the kingdom!
Alpha, my requirent isn’t high, as long as the Warhamr Kingdom can regain the domain of a Grand Duchy.”
Gustav spoke with obvious distress.
From a kingdom to a duchy, this isn’t just cutting off a piece of flesh but rather abandoning most of the foundation.
But there’s no way around it; the Warhamr Kingdom was split into three, among which two parts are with the Human Race.
To restore the kingdom, they can only reach out to the Ancient Heritage Alliance.
As for the territory that fell to the Alpha Kingdom and Moxi Duchy, they’re beyond hope for now. Warhamr Kingdom must strive for support from these two countries for reestablishnt.
“Alright, once I regain the throne, I’ll support you in rebuilding the Warhamr Kingdom.
The extent of support will depend on your contributions during my reclamation process.”
Alpha the First contemplated and spoke.
In the world of strongn, it’s all about equivalent exchange.
Alpha the First needs support, but he also doesn’t want to be a fool.
Compared to reestablishing the Warhamr Kingdom, seizing power is evidently more feasible.
“This is simple; Alpha, you’re currently confused.
Caesar IV has a thousand virtues, but he has one major flaw—no offspring!
Seize this point, and your operability strengthens. Among the many royal family mbers, there must be so with big ambitions.
While Caesar IV is in power, those distant branches amount to nothing, but it’s different once you ascend.
No matter which branch, they are your descendants; the previous royal family’s distant branches imdiately turn into direct lineages, this allure is quite substantial!”
Gustav’s advice suddenly awakened Alpha the First.
Compared to setting a Crown Prince, this wishful thinking, the identity of royal family’s direct lineage can be realized in a short ti.
The gap between direct and indirect lineages is vastly different, so are the various treatnts. If there’s a chance for advancent, the indirect lineage mbers will surely be tempted.
“Not enough!
The difficulty of seizing power never lies within the royal family.
The most troubleso now is: various local power factions strongly oppose my return, with the prestigious Human Marshal being especially outspoken in opposition.
If these people can’t be dealt with, even if I control the entire royal family, there’s no way to reclaim the throne.”
Alpha the First shook his head and said.
The “Purging the Monarch’s Side” case hasn’t occurred on the Continent of Aslante yet, but there are nurous cases where local power factions have denied the King’s legitimacy and instigated wars.
