Hence, when he heard the report from his subordinates that Forcus wanted to see him about the Tower of Dusk, Bradlor immediately put down his beloved artwork, and got someone to bring Forcus to him.
"Your Majesty, the young lord of the Giant Shark Clan, Gerina, had a conflict with the Tower of Dusk. Teacher couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to ask you to step in." Upon sight of King Bradlor, Forcus bowed, and directly told him about what had happened at the Tower of Dusk.
What? The young lord of the Giant Shark Clan, Gerina, had a conflict with Felic of the Tower of Dusk! Hearing this news, Bradlor felt like his head was about to explode. Neither of them was easy to deal with. Gerina was backed by the Giant Shark Clan, which was the leader of the seven overlords of the Endless Ocean, and Felic had already shown everyone in the Gilded Kingdom his temper. Both of them were amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Now that they had actually gotten into a conflict, they would definitely offend one of them.
"Did Elder Zumar's persuasion have no effect at all?" Bradlor asked Forcus with a hint of anticipation. If possible, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. It would be best if the Illuminati could take over. However, he also knew how unrealistic his thoughts were. Since Forcus had already come to him, Elder Zumar obviously couldn't do anything about it.
As expected, Forcus shook his head with a helpless expression, and anxiously said, "Your Majesty, you should also know that Teacher can't persuade those two. Teacher is just telling them not to get into a fight for the time being. So, Your Majesty, please think of a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Teacher can't control the situation, both parties will really fight! "
The Giant Shark Clan and the Tower of Dusk both had Sanctuary powerhouses, and if they were to really go all out in a battle between Sanctuary powerhouses, the aftershocks alone would probably be enough to destroy a large city countless times. Of course, the capital of the Gilded Kingdom wouldn't be destroyed that easily. Otherwise, the Gilded Kingdom wouldn't have been able to stand tall in the Endless Ocean for so many years. However, even if that was the case, could they just let them go? What would happen to the Gilded Kingdom's reputation!?
Hence, it was impossible for the Gilded Kingdom to stay out of this matter. Otherwise, they would only be waiting to be humiliated again. However, King Bradlor was faced with a difficult choice as to how to intervene. It was almost impossible to be completely neutral as that would only offend both sides at once. Hence, he had to choose a side. He would either offend Gerina of the Giant Shark Clan or Felic of the Tower of Dusk.
If it had been before the previous incident, Bradlor would definitely have chosen the Giant Shark Clan. After all, the Tower of Dusk was just one of the forces in the Breezy Plains, while the Giant Shark Clan was one of the overlords of the Endless Ocean. In comparison, the Giant Shark Clan could obviously bring more benefits to the Gilded Kingdom, and the Tower of Dusk could not compare to the Giant Shark Clan in that regard. However, things were different now. After receiving Saint Edmund's warning, Lin Li of the Tower of Dusk no longer had a simple place in Bradlor's heart.
"Guards!" Bradlor quickly made a decision. When the person who had received the summons came in, he said, "Go, quickly invite Prince Monterey here."
Prince Monterey was Bradlor's younger brother, and he had been known as a genius since he was a child. Not only was he talented in magic, but he was also extremely good at the kingdom's politics. After Bradlor ascended the throne, Monterey made great contributions in terms of stabilizing the domestic situation and developing the people's livelihood.
In the court of the Gilded Kingdom, Monterey was like the third chancellor who helped Bradlor reach a balance with the ministers led by the left and right ministers. Hence, in Bradlor's heart, Prince Monterey had always been the most trustworthy person, and he was also the most reassuring person.
Previously, Prince Monterey had been patrolling the other seas of the Gilded Kingdom, and had only returned to the capital in the past two days. After all, as a prince, he couldn't miss the kingdom's founding celebration no matter how many things he had to do.
Bradlor had long told Monterey about the Tower of Dusk, including Saint Edmund's intentions of the Illuminati. Hence, Monterey was very clear about the attitude that the Gilded Kingdom should adopt towards the Tower of Dusk. Monterey would put the interests of the royal family first, while the ministers led by the two chancellors would put the interests of their families first. That was also the reason why Bradlor looked for Prince Monterey instead of the two chancellors.
In front of the gate of the embassy of the Tower of Dusk, the people of the Giant Shark Clan and the people of the Tower of Dusk were still in a state of tension. On the other hand, Elder Zumar was standing in the middle of the two parties, and his Domain World was still open. It was as if he was ready to deal with the conflict between the two parties at any time. The expression on his face was more nervous than any of the parties.
Forcus had left for less than 10 minutes, but to Elder Zumar, every second seemed extremely long. At the same time, the anxiety in his heart did not decrease at all, and he was afraid that King Bradlor would send an unreliable person over. He was well aware that after the previous incident at the garrison of the royal guards, there were not many ministers of the Gilded Kingdom who still had a good impression of the Tower of Dusk. If Bradlor really sent such a person, the situation would probably only get worse.
Elder Zumar was panicking alone, but the people of the Giant Shark Clan and the Tower of Dusk were not moved at all. They did not care what Elder Zumar's good intentions were. Anyway, no one would give in on this matter. Although they did not make a move on Elder Zumar's account, they did not show any signs of weakness in their words. In particular, the Giant Shark Clan, who had suffered some losses previously, were eager to regain their dignity.
Finally, just when everyone was getting a little impatient, the sound of orderly and dense footsteps came from the direction of the Gilded Kingdom's palace, and a team of palace guards emerged from the end of the street. The team of palace guards was composed of heavy infantry and cavalry, and each soldier was at least level-15. There were also a team of Sword Sages and Legendary-mages following behind.
After the team of palace guards arrived, they immediately inserted themselves between the Giant Shark Clan and the Tower of Dusk like Elder Zumar had done, completely separating the two parties. Next, surrounded by a group of Sword Sages and Legendary-mages, Prince Monteri approached Elder Zumar.
"Prince Monteri, I'm relieved that His Majesty allowed you to come." Seeing that it was Prince Monteri, Elder Zumar finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Prince Monteri was in his early forties, and his blonde hair was combed meticulously. Although he was not very tall, he exuded a dignified aura of a superior. After hearing Elder Zumar's words, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Elder Zumar. Please leave the rest to me."
Although Elder Zumar had long wanted to leave, he was no longer in a hurry to leave now that someone had taken over. Besides, he also wanted to see how Prince Monteri was going to deal with this matter. If it was different from what he thought, he would inevitably have to get involved again.
When Greena saw that Prince Monteri had arrived, the arrogance on his face faded a little, and he said, "Prince Monteri, this matter was originally only between us and the Tower of Dusk, and has nothing to do with the Gilded Kingdom. However, considering that this is the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, I have to inform you that if there are any losses after this, the Giant Shark Clan will compensate you. "
What Greena meant was very simple. They were going to solve the problem in the territory of the Gilded Kingdom, and Prince Monteri would be the witness and compensate them if anything was damaged. He obviously did not think that the people of the Gilded Kingdom were there to stop him. After all, the Gilded Kingdom had suffered a lot at the hands of the Tower of Dusk. Hence, he did not ask for Prince Monteri's opinion at all, and instead made the decision on behalf of the Gilded Kingdom.
After hearing Greena's words, Prince Monteri, who had just greeted Elder Zumar, turned around, and said, "Young Lord Greena, I have already understood the cause of the entire matter. Since you bought those seahorse slaves first, you have the right to dispose of them. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to forcefully ask for them. "
As soon as Prince Monteri said that, the people of the Giant Shark Clan were all stunned. Greena could not believe his ears, and said, "What? Prince Monteri, do you mean that I'm in the wrong for this matter? "
What kind of existence was the Giant Shark Clan, and what was the Tower of Dusk? Had Prince Monteri lost his mind and actually offended the young lord of the Giant Shark Clan to protect the Tower of Dusk? Could it be that Prince Monteri, who had a good reputation, was willing to do something that would harm the interests of the Gilded Kingdom because he had received benefits from the Tower of Dusk?
In fact, not to mention the people of the Giant Shark Clan, even the royal guards who came with Prince Monteri were puzzled by Prince Monteri's behavior. When they followed him over, they actually thought that he was going to teach the Tower of Dusk a lesson together with the people of the Giant Shark Clan. However, who would have thought that the person that the Gilded Kingdom should hate the most would become the person that the Gilded Kingdom wanted to protect, and even offend the young lord of the Giant Shark Clan?
On the other hand, Elder Zumar, who was at the side, finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Prince Monteri's words. If Prince Monteri wanted to take this opportunity to regain the dignity of the Gilded Kingdom like the ministers who were in favor of war, Elder Zumar would have no choice but to ask Saint Edmund to step in.
On the other hand, the expressions of the people of the Tower of Dusk did not change at all, as if what Prince Monteri had done was only natural. To them, even if the Gilded Kingdom did not step in, they wouldn't suffer any losses. Hence, Prince Monteri's actions naturally meant a lot to them.
On the other hand, Connoris, who had just fought an intense battle, suddenly looked a little displeased when he saw that it seemed unlikely that there would be another battle. Of course, although Connoris wanted to fight with the people of the Giant Shark Clan, he was not an unreasonable person, after all. Hence, he did not say much even if it did not go his way.
After all, the Tower of Dusk was not afraid of provocation or war, but they would not be unreasonable either. At most, they would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, but they would not create trouble out of nothing. After all, the Gilded Kingdom had been humiliated twice in the past, but at the end of the day, the Gilded Kingdom was the one who had been wronged first. Hence, the Gilded Kingdom was clearly biased towards the Tower of Dusk. Although the people of the Tower of Dusk felt that it was unnecessary, they could not blame the Gilded Kingdom for it.
Hence, Connoris landed on the ground and looked at the people of the Giant Shark Clan coldly with his arms crossed. Although he was rather displeased, he did not say anything more to provoke them. On the other hand, Norfeller was still hidden in space, and did not appear at this moment. He did not reveal a trace of killing intent either. Who knew if the young lord of the Giant Shark Clan would give the Gilded Kingdom face? Perhaps they would still have to rely on their strength in the end.
At this moment, Prince Monteri looked at the infuriated Greena, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Young Lord Greena, you've misunderstood. I'm not saying that you've done anything wrong. Everyone knows that the warriors of the Giant Shark Clan have always been straightforward, and will do whatever they want, unlike us who have to beat around the bush. However, this is not the Red Sea, after all, and we have our own rules. Since the warriors of the Giant Shark Clan are here as guests, please abide by our rules. "
Although Prince Monteri's words were rather tactful, and he even described the Giant Shark Clan's recklessness as straightforward, he did not give the Giant Shark Clan any leeway. He was clearly telling them that they had to follow the rules of the Gilded Kingdom. The Giant Shark Clan was very powerful among the Sea Clans, but the Gilded Kingdom was not a pushover. In terms of strength, they might not be much weaker than the Giant Shark Clan. Hence, Prince Monteri was not afraid of Greena and the others flying into a rage.
Greena was arrogant, but he was not a fool. He could naturally tell what Prince Monteri meant. He stared at Prince Monteri with a cold gaze, and said in an unfriendly tone, "I wonder if King Bradlor knows that Prince Monteri is here."
Greena also suspected that Prince Monteri had received some benefits from the Tower of Dusk. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable. The Gilded Kingdom had suffered a lot because of the Tower of Dusk. They had been slapped in the face, and yet, they still wanted to side with the people of the Tower of Dusk. Wasn't he a f * cking wretch?
Faced with Greena's suspicion, Prince Monteri was not annoyed at all, and his aristocratic demeanor was not affected at all. He calmly said, "President Felic of the Tower of Dusk is a guest of the Gilded Kingdom. If our guest is disturbed here, it will be our fault as the host. So, Young Lord Greena, please don't make things difficult for us. If you have any objections, you can voice them to His Majesty Bradlor, but please take your men and leave now. "
