769: Chapter 45, Unstoppable Ambition_2 769: Chapter 45, Unstoppable Ambition_2 It might be understandable for others to be forgotten due to the administrative mistake, but it would be intolerable if their own people, who have been associated with the royal family, were forgotten.
Even if Caesar IV had montarily forgotten due to his busy schedule, there would be soone around to remind him.
Jose had been involved with the royal family for so many years, it cannot be possible that he did not have a single friend to speak for him.
After all, he played a significant role in taking the bla.
Now that Caesar IV had ascended to the throne, he was supposed to be appropriately taken care of.
Unfortunately, after waiting for such a long ti, Caesar IV did nothing, and he had not even t Jose privately.
Perhaps Caesar IV excessively wanted to erase his dark history and did not know how to face Jose, who had witnessed it all.
He simply chose to give him the cold shoulder and used ti to fade everything away.
Had it not been for too many people in the know, Jose might have been silenced altogether.
To protect their reputation, those in power might resort to any ans necessary.
Since Caesar IV didn’t care, Hudson would not hold back anymore.
He had long set his eyes on the talent reserves of the royal family.
To recruit these talents, Hudson had made a lot of preparations, and now it was finally ti to reap the rewards.
…
In the Frank Kingdom, Charles III, having received the news, was initially shocked and then overjoyed.
As the most prosperous kingdom on the continent, although it was imposing, it was also in the lilight for a long ti, making it practically impossible to do anything out of line.
While sitting on vast military strength, they could only bully the different races around them.
Any slight movents within the human race are closely scrutinized.
Unfortunately, the different races neighboring the Frank Kingdom had long been pushed to barren lands and there was little to exploit.
To break the continental situation, Charles III made a series of strategic layouts, the biggest of which involved rallying all forces on the continent to cripple the Orc Empire.
The results proved him right.
With the threat of the different races decreased, the internal balance of human race was also broken.
Now that the Black Forest Kingdom and Alpha Kingdom were leading the violation of ga rules, the shackles that initially bound the Frank Kingdom have started to loosen.
Charles III had a premonition that as soon as Columbia Country was partitioned, the political ideology now followed by human countries would be challenged.
When everyone abandons moral norms and begins to expand recklessly, the rules restraining the Frank Kingdom will no longer exist.
In the chaotic bargaining of a world without rules, everyone will be fighting for their real strength.
“What do you think of the actions of Black Forest People and Alpha People?”
Charles III asked.
“Your Majesty, this will be the start of a continental chaos.
After years of peace, many people are restless and want to stir things up.
Take the clergy for example, the recent continuous incidents they have been stirring up are ant to provoke a continental war.
With this happening now, Shelter VII is bound to add fuel to the fire and stir up more trouble in the Northern Continent.
Once Columbia is divided, the reality of the Alpha Kingdom will also be exposed, and everyone will know that they’re not keen on preventing the Central Great Kingdoms from advancing north.
The Dante Kingdom and the South Coast Kingdom, who have long been restless, certainly will not just stand by while the Black Forest People seize the assets.
They are bound to take joint actions.
Perhaps next in line to suffer will be the fence-sitters, the Grint and Nardal.
The Alpha People would not turn against two major kingdoms for the sake of two traitors.
The Moxi Duchy has limited strength and does not have the capability to intervene; the Warhamr Kingdom is still mired in civil war.
By the ti they finish fighting, half of the northern countries are estimated to be gone.
Of course, if we were to intervene, we could also prevent them from accomplishing anything.
But this is not in the interest of the kingdom.
The shift in strategic focus of the Three Great Central Kingdoms to the north is also a good thing for our kingdom.
The neighboring Ouprus Kingdom has been declining for quite so ti, it is a gift from the Lord of Dawn to our kingdom.
We are just waiting for the right mont!”
Chancellor Bergson said, with a nacing tone.
While other countries, the Black Forest Kingdom and Alpha, were still cautiously plotting over a country of 50,000 square kiloters, the Frank people, who were in standoff, had their eyes on the vast kingdom of Ouprus.
The configurations of both sides were obviously not on the sa scale.
The Kingdom of Ouprus had been glorious in history.
Even if it is now in decline, it could still be ranked amongst the Ten Great Kingdoms of the Continent, thanks to the substantial assets left by its ancestors.
However, the glory of the past was just that – the past.
With the rise of the Frank Kingdom, their hard tis began.
In the past hundred years, they waged war seven tis, the Kingdom of Ouprus lost them all.
And in three of these wars, they were annihilated, leaving barely anything behind.
No matter how substantial the assets were, they couldn’t withstand such damage.
After continuous defeats, the decline of the Kingdom of Ouprus was inevitable.
Ceding lands and paying reparations were minor issues.
The key was that the spirit of the Ouprus nobles was crushed under the constraints of the rules after seven consecutive losses.
Once the backbone of a nation was broken, it was extrely difficult to nd.
Several generations of Ouprus Kings had tried to reverse the declining state of the kingdom, and for this purpose, they introduced a series of political reforms.
Unfortunately, the internal resistance was too strong, and the ddling neighbour added to the trouble.
Under internal and external pressures, their attempts to reform only accelerated their decline.
“The Pri Minister is right, now the major powers of the continent can no longer hold back, we just need a fuse.
However, before annexing the Kingdom of Ouprus, I personally suggest clearing out the different races around us first, thus eliminating potential threats at their roots.
To decrease political pressure, we can also have the Iberia Kingdom join us.
They have long been eyeing the declining Avarat Kingdom, it’s just a matter of finding the right opportunity to strike.
If needed, we could also incite the Clergy to invade the Turan Kingdom.
It can be said that once the fire of this war is ignited, it will engulf the whole continent.
Not only will the human nations be caught in a struggle, but the different races will also be dragged in.
Estimating the tiline, the continent will plunge into chaos approximately at the sa ti as the prophesied calamity that occurs every ten thousand years.
Perhaps this is the ‘ten thousand years disaster’ that our ancestors dreaded so much.
I don’t know if this is a coincidence or if a mysterious force is deliberately pushing it, but every ti we reach a ten-thousand-year interval, the Continent of Aslante will plunge into chaos.
Unfortunately, too much ti has passed, the remaining records are just fragnts, and they can’t restore the historical truth.
Even if the kingdom has excavated many relics, our understanding of the previous era is still very limited!”
Marquis Hessus’s sigh directly affected everyone’s mood.
Almost all ancient relics and inherited forces contain records of the “ten thousand years disaster”.
However, everyone only ntioned it briefly on paper, with no detailed descriptions, followed by a series of strong warnings.
If these records were not so old and widely spread, and if they also appeared in the different races’ relics, they wouldn’t hold back from suspecting it to be a joke.
“There’s no need to think too much about it, even if we find detailed records, they won’t be helpful.
The Continent of Aslante ten thousand years ago was quite different from now.
At that ti, the human race was so weak that they could only survive within the gaps of the different races, leading a precarious life every day.
A small move from the different races would be a life and death test for the humans of that age.
Perhaps the ‘ten thousand years disaster’ in our ancestors’ eyes is just a brutal war to us.
But since we have the prophecy of the ten thousand years disaster, we should take advantage of it.
Send soone to spread the news: The different races are plotting to unite, intending to ignite a war at the end of the hundred thousand years, and overthrow the ruling position of our human race.
When public opinion is heated up, call on the countries of the continent to launch a thorough purge.
We don’t expect to completely eliminate all the different races on the continent, but at the very least we should cripple them first, preventing any chance of them turning the tables!”
Spoke Charles III ruthlessly
