As soon as the impeachment process started, the political world of the Modo Civilization became lively. All the factions were dragged into it and forced to take sides.
The Modo Three Kings had no choice but to turn their attention back to the country to deal with the impeachment of the opposition. The three of them had no choice but to mobilize the people under them to fight for power. Luckily, they had been in business for many years, and their positions were deeply rooted. It was not that easy to topple them.
There were very few authoritarian advanced civilizations. Taking the position of the highest leader did not mean that one would gain supreme power immediately. Politics was the art of compromise. Power came from obedience. Even the leader of a civilization had to gain the support of all the factions and cultivate loyal subordinates in order to strengthen their position. Only then could their power increase.
Otherwise, any order they gave would be obstructed by their political enemies. Being the highest leader did not mean that they would be unconditionally obeyed. There were also many people who had their eyes on this position.
In the following days, the public saw the changes in the political world. The Modo Three Kings and the opposition led by Marco all showed their abilities. The day before yesterday, someone resigned. The day before yesterday, someone was summoned. Today, someone handed in a new report. Tomorrow, some big shot might show up again. The public could not take it all in.
The hearings started by the three races were held one after another. The opposition presented a lot of evidence, turning some secrets that were not supposed to be known to the public into evidence, causing an uproar among the public time and time again.
The Kunde Race incident was one of them. The opposition summoned key witnesses and asked them to provide the signatures of the Modo Three Kings who agreed to this battle plan. They also used evidence to prove that Black Star was targeting Modo because of the Kunde Race incident. Therefore, they came to the conclusion that the Modo Three Kings provoked Black Star for the civilization and were the culprit behind Modo's current predicament. The opposition used this as evidence and criticized the Modo Three Kings for making the wrong decision. They believed that the current Modo Three Kings were not capable enough to continue being the leader of the civilization.
There was a lot of similar evidence. The opposition threw out some of the shameful things and blamed them all on the Modo Three Kings. They emphasized to the Tri-Species General Assembly that the Modo Three Kings were not capable enough and suggested a change.
This wasn't an unjust accusation. As the highest leader, even if the plan wasn't thought up by the three kings, it still needed the signatures of the three kings before it could be carried out. He could only take the blame for this.
The endless accusations and smears made the situation more and more unfavorable for the three kings of Modo. However, the three kings' positions were not so easily shaken. Their relationships were complicated. Many factions, including the military, were strong supporters. These factions all had their own representatives in the General Assembly of the three species. They worked together to stop the impeachment process, which was very effective.
The military was a firm supporter of the war. They led more senior officials. Compared to the supporters of the Modo Three Kings, the opposition led by Marco was still not enough. The investigation soon ran into obstacles. Therefore, the opposition set their sights on the next Modo Three Kings candidate, hoping to get the support of these so-called 'princes'. In the end, they failed without any suspense.
As the impeachment storm fermented, the matter gradually turned into a political conflict. The three kings of Modo had already been delayed for too long. They did not want to waste more energy here, so they did not hold back at all.
Therefore, this farce came to an end after a short while. The final result was that the General Assembly of the three species rejected the opposition's impeachment process. The impeachment ended in failure. It was basically a lose-lose situation.
The political enemies had been dealt with. In order to save their reputation, the three kings of Modo decided to give a public speech and give a summary response to the impeachment.
…
Bainide Square, one of the landmark buildings in the capital of the Modo Civilization. It was usually a tourist spot with a lot of tourists. Today, it was requisitioned by the government as the venue for the three kings' speech. The venue had already been set up.
Due to the unfavorable public opinion, the three kings of Modo did not give a speech in the government building this time. Instead, they chose to give a speech in front of the public. Many officials came with them. The selected audience filled the square, creating a scene where the senior officials were very close to the public.
A cordon was set up outside the square. A large number of security guards were stationed there, guarding the line expressionlessly. Right now, an endless crowd had already gathered outside.
Many people held banners in their hands. Most of them had opposing slogans such as' Three Kings Step Down 'written on them. These were all protesters. The crowd was agitated … Although the opposition lost, it caused irreparable damage to the reputation of the three kings of Modo this time.
The officials' seats were around the podium. The opposition was all arranged at the edge. They were obviously left out. The others did not even want to look in this direction, not wanting to have any connection with the opposition who lost.
"I didn't expect the three kings to invite us …" one of the opposition murmured to himself.
"They want us to be humiliated in public to strengthen the effect of the speech."
Marco's expression did not look good.
He knew very well that at this point, the three kings of Modo did not invite them, the opposition, to attend on purpose just to ease their relationship. They must be criticizing their actions from the standpoint of the victors.
The opposition naturally jumped out to impeach the three kings of Modo because they were confident of winning. However, they lost in the end. All their trump cards were neutralized, and some witnesses changed their statements. Marco could only say that he was not as good as them.
In fact, there were still some opposition who did not jump out. They did not dare to take the risk together. In order to change the development path of the civilization, Marco was willing to take the risk. However, in order to keep their positions, these hidden opposition dared not take any action even if they disagreed with the decision of the three kings of Modo. They just watched the army die meaninglessly. Although he lost, he also looked down on these cowards.
After a while, the three kings of Modo arrived together. They walked to the podium, and the focused light chased after the three of them.
Warm applause immediately sounded in the square, as if it had been rehearsed, suppressing the curses of the countless onlookers outside the square. The three of them waved their arms at the same time, looked around at the audience, and smiled as a greeting.
While the Modo Three Kings scanned the surroundings, their eyes purposely paused on where Marco and the other members of the opposition were before moving away. The camera then switched to the members of the opposition, recording their expressionless or forced smiles.
"Humph …"
Marco clapped his hands and snorted inwardly.
Of course, he understood the look that the three kings of Modo were giving him just now. They had the attitude of a victor, ready to settle the score with him later.
The applause gradually stopped, and one of the three kings of Modo finally spoke loudly.
"My compatriots, Modo is a great civilization. We've been united since the exploration era, and generations of kings have led us to create development miracles one after another …"
After the opening speech, the three of them started reading according to the script. They directly mentioned the recent social unrest and impeachment, admitting that it was the influence of their own decision, but emphasizing that it was the enemy's scheme. They said, "Because Modo is on the right path, the enemy wants us to retreat, so they use all kinds of schemes to make us fear them."
The three of them also explained why they kept sending troops to the Flickering World, saying that the reason for this decision was for the future of the civilization, and so on. In the long speech, the three kings refuted and explained the impeachment project one by one, trying to save their own reputation and that of the government.
What the three kings of Modo said was reasonable. There was applause from time to time. Some onlookers were gradually convinced, and the number of protesters decreased.
Other than the reporters, countless onlookers were also recording the speech.
In the crowd outside the cordon of the square, a tall and thin man held his multifunctional communication terminal up high to record the speech. He looked like an ordinary person, but in fact, he was one of the Radiant Federation's secret informants responsible for collecting intelligence. He was sent here today to record first-hand footage.
"The opposition failed, but the three kings of Modo are also greatly weakened. That's good news …"
This informant mumbled to himself as he worked.
He had already finished what he wanted to see. Now that the dust had settled, there was nothing else to be found. Now, he could only wait for the winner's declaration. This informant did not think that he would be able to find anything valuable. He was only here to join in the fun because it was his duty.
However, at this moment, a flash of light appeared in the corner of his eyes. This informant turned around subconsciously.
He looked through the crowd and saw a faint light on the back of a hooded man's hand. It seemed like some mark was glowing.
The next moment, a sharp golden light suddenly flashed across his vision and shot out like lightning.
This informant turned around immediately and saw this light shoot toward one of the three kings of Modo who was giving a speech.
Dang!
A blue magic shield suddenly opened and blocked this light. The Beyond Grade A defensive enchantment on the three kings of Modo was activated. It could block many types of attacks.
The speech was suddenly interrupted. The three kings of Modo realized what was happening and looked at the incoming attack in shock. It was a golden spear. It was Lothaire's weapon, the Deity Assassinator.
"An assassin!" The security guards around were shocked.
The Calamity Grade bodyguards standing behind the three kings were shocked. They immediately used their abilities to protect the three kings.
Although they reacted quickly, it was already too late. The Beyond Grade A defensive enchantment with amazing resistance only blocked the Deity Assassinator for a second before it was penetrated instantly. The spear nailed one of the three kings to the ground. His face was still filled with shock.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present.
Someone tried to assassinate the three kings?
After their brains finished analyzing this information, countless faces were filled with fear at the same time.
"Run!"
"Murder!"
"Call a doctor!"
"Lock down the square immediately … No, lock down the entire planet!"
The next moment, chaos broke out. Both the audience inside and outside the venue fled in panic. The security guards yelled, protecting the remaining two kings as they left the venue while searching the venue. The officials were shocked and fled in a hurry under the protection of their bodyguards. The lively speech venue turned into a mess in the blink of an eye.
"Who sent this assassin? Crazy! "
Marco fled in panic with a face full of shock.
Assassinating the highest leader of a civilization on the mother planet of a Supercluster civilization was suicidal!
This had not happened for many years. Even the three Universal Civilizations would not do it. Who would have thought it would happen so suddenly? The three kings of Modo usually stayed in the Central Government Building. Today, they were giving a public speech, so it became a perfect opportunity.
The most unbelievable thing was that the assassin actually succeeded. The Beyond Grade A defensive enchantments on the three kings were like paper.
In the chaotic crowd, the intelligence agent of the Radiant Federation opened his eyes wide. He turned around, trying to find the hooded man, but the other party had already disappeared.
"Where did this fierce person come from … this is a completely suicidal attack! There's no way he can escape from the mother planet of Modo! "
The intelligence agent's face twitched. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
He did not expect to see such a huge piece of information with his own eyes.
Almost in an instant, his professionalism made him keenly aware of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
