Chapter 205 - Would I Help Them?
With the emperor’s protection, all the participants who had sohow provoke a lot of enemies felt relieved in their hearts. They also felt grateful to the emperor who had graced them with his protection. It might have been just a few words from Emperor Elyk, but it was equivalent to giving them a layer of defense which was already a significant help to these budding talents.
It was already night ti and Jiu Shen was sitting on a chair on top of the roof of their lodging house. He was gazing at the moon with an unreadable expression on his face. He was also carrying a small girl in his arms who had a hair full of short white hair.
Standing behind Jiu Shen was a woman with long purple hair. She was looking at the man with respect and admiration.
"That was truly a good move from Elyk. He earned the gratitude of all the young elites by rely saying a few words and he didn’t even have anything to worry about the Liu Family since their strength is divided right now. This move of him also increased his prestige and authority. Now, everyone should be praising him for being such a good emperor." Jiu Shen suddenly said. His voice was calm and indifferent, but there was a tinge of emotion in his tone. It was unknown if it was admiration or sothing else.
"That human is not bad, but he is growing old. And from what I’ve seen, all his three eldest sons are just a bunch of good for nothing people! The crown prince is a lecherous bastard, the second prince might be dead and a demon is using his identity to infiltrate the Profound Dragon Continent. As for the third prince, although he is talented in the art of war, he is a very arrogant and conceited person. All three of them are not fit to carry his mantle and the Silver Wing Empire would never have a good day if one of them manage to sit in on the throne. I don’t know what that Elyk human is trying to do that he actually allowed those three idiots to fight for the position. ow." Ice sneered in contempt as she ntioned the three eldest princes. She then puffed her cheeks after she talked. It was obvious that she didn’t like the three of them.
Long ili remained silent and she just smiled after hearing the words of the little girl.
Jiu Shen rubbed the girl’s head gently and remained silent for a mont before he said calmly. "Elyk did it intentionally. He allowed those three to fight for the throne, but none of them would beco his final successor."
Ice was confused and she blinked her adorably big eyes as she stared at Jiu Shen’s face. "Stinky human, what do you an? ow." She asked curiously.
Long ili was not as curious as her, but she still took a step forward to take a clearer look at Jiu Shen’s face. She wanted to hear his answer.
Jiu Shen pinched Ice’s cheeks which made the latter pout in dissatisfaction, but a wave of warmth enveloped her heart. It was not a romantic kind of feeling, but sothing similar to that of familial warmth. It has been long since she had last felt this, so it made her a bit teary-eyed. Ice hurriedly looked down to avoid the gazes of Jiu Shen and Long ili. She did not want anyone to see her cry.
"Elyk rely allowed those three to fight among themselves in order to give ti for his successor to grow. As for who his successor is, it is between the fourth prince and the fifth princess. Among his five children, only the two of them have the right temperant to beco the next emperor." Jiu Shen said as he stroked Ice’s short white hair.
The two girls pondered upon hearing his words.
"So that’s how it is! I didn’t think that an old man like him is actually half as smart as ! ow!" Ice’s tone sounded smug, but Jiu Shen and Long ili rely smiled when they heard that.
The three beca silent after that short interaction.
Jiu Shen continued to gaze at the moon as he reminisced about his experiences in his past life.
As Jiu Shen was recalling his distant mories, he saw a small group of youths walking outside of their lodging house. Each of the youths had great temperants, and they were strong for their age.
Jiu Shen knew who these guys were. These young elites were among those who had won in the one versus one battle.
"His Majesty is truly magnanimous and kind. It is our Silver Wing Empire’s luck to have such a capable and just leader."
"I’m just a bit worried. Although His Majesty is a strong expert, our Silver Wing Empire has quite a number of enemies from all sides. I even heard from so passing rchants that the Blue Fang Empire is already planning to attack our empire."
"Blue Fang Empire? Although they are not weak, our Silver Wing Empire is many tis stronger than them, so you don’t have to worry about their attack. Besides, can they even fight against our empire’s Silver Wing Army?"
"Hahaha! You are right! Our Silver Wing Army only accepts 3rd-Crusaders, and there are about ten thousand of them on standby. Any normal army would be ripped to shreds by their fierce attack."
Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he heard their conversation.
"Silver Wing Army? Could the empire’s Silver Wing Army handle the Undying Corpse Sect’s undead army? And they even have those elite corpse puppet in their arsenal..." Jiu Shen muttered under his breath.
According to the intel that Ren Shuang gathered. He discovered that the Undying Corpse Sect was secretly nurturing thousands of undead in their hideout. These undeads were not just random undeads either. Each of them was the corpses of deceased experts, so their strength was not weak at all!
From what Ren Shuang had discovered thus far, the overall strength that the Undying Corpse Sect and Xue Family possess is enough to trample the Silver Wing Empire! The Silveria Imperial Family would not be able to fight them equally unless if they get the support of the Liu Family, Beiming Family, and the other noble families. And even if they did offer their assistance, they would still be at a disadvantage.
’If that ti cos, would I help them?’ Jiu Shen closed his eyes as he pondered deeply in his heart.
