Jean's deafening roar was like a sudden clap of thunder that exploded in the throne room. The ministers were all stunned.
Some of the ministers suddenly realized that Gene was right. Damn, Gene was right!
What was the Chaos religion? It was a malignant tumor bred by the Chaos creatures!
It would only get more and more dangerous if left alone. It had only taken five years for the Chaos religion to corrupt the entire Lothamar Castle. In reality, it was even shorter. Ninety percent of the time, the Chaos religion had been spreading. When it finally exploded, the entire Lothamar Castle was paralyzed. If left alone, how long would it take for the Chaos religion to corrupt the entire Solant Kingdom?
A hundred years?
Ten years?
Five years?
One year!
That's right. If the Chaos believers left Lothamar Castle, they would only need a year to turn the entire Solant Kingdom into the Chaos religion's territory!
Was Klein not aware of this?
Of course he was!
However, it was precisely because he could not do anything to the Cult of Chaos that he could only adopt a passive policy and send more soldiers into the city to eliminate the believers of Chaos. In the end, it would only increase the number of members of the Cult of Chaos. The powerful Apocalypse Ones would not be bought over by the conditions he offered, let alone obey his orders.
It was a stalemate!
And now, the opportunity to break the stalemate had arrived. Be it the City of Silver or the Holy Church, they had enough power to go against the believers of Chaos. They were also the only two forces in the human camp that could deal an effective blow to the believers of Chaos.
The City of Silver could only act when the Chaos believers were in the early stages of their corruption. Once the Chaos believers were deeply corrupted and turned into Chaos creatures, even the City of Silver could only watch helplessly. The Radiant Church could only barely maintain the current situation.
It could be said that they were the last straw of hope for the Solant Kingdom!
The ministers all looked at Emperor Klein, including Duke Carlton.
Although the Carlton Family was completely tied to Klein's war chariot, he did not want to see the Solant Kingdom being turned into a mess by the Chaos religion. Any rational human would know what to do in the face of the Chaos invasion.
"Master Jean, you're exaggerating."
Klein slowly returned to the throne and looked down at Jean. He tried his best to maintain enough respect and said, "We have been thinking of a solution. We are not sitting idly by."
"Your solution is to build high walls to seal off Lothamar Castle? What a wonderful idea. "
Jean looked at Klein with a mocking expression. His words were full of sarcasm. With his strength, there was no need for him to give Klein any face.
Klein said in a low voice, "Without the power of sorcerers, our warriors can't fight against the believers of Chaos at all."
"Oh? Are you blaming me? "
Jean raised his eyebrows. "Are you blaming me for drawing all the sorcerers to the City of Silver and not leaving enough sorcerers for you?"
Klein didn't say anything, but his meaning was obvious. It was because of Jean that the current situation happened.
"You know, I've recently learned a new word. It's called 'throwing the blame'."
Jean sneered. "You're throwing the blame very straightforwardly, aren't you?"
"In order to protect the peace and stability of Prandal, the City of Silver constantly monitors the flow of magic in the whole of Prandal and has been constantly fighting against the Gate of Chaos. In the process, do you know how many sorcerers have been sacrificed? You don't know! Do you know how many sorcerers have been separated from their families? You don't know! Do you know how much manpower, material, and financial resources we've spent on this? You don't know! "
"You don't know anything!"
Jean suddenly stood up and appeared in front of Klein with a flash spell. He pointed at his nose and scolded, "You only care about your own ambitions! All you care about is how to become a supreme king! You don't know anything. What right do you have to talk to me like that!?
"If I hadn't gathered the sorcerers and remained neutral, you would still be having internal strife right now!
"If you continued to use the power of magic, you would only use magic in war!
"If it weren't for the lack of the power of magic, the number of casualties in this war would be even more terrifying!
"You don't know anything about the meaning of magic!
"What right do you have to say that I'm wrong!?
"Compared to Tang En, you're a complete idiot!"
Klein, who had been holding back all this time, exploded when he heard Jean suddenly mention Tang En's name. "Enough!"
At first, he still knew how to control his emotions and greeted Jean with a hypocritical smile. But the name "Tang En" was like a curse that was imposed on Klein's head. As soon as he heard this name, and it came from Jean's mouth, Klein immediately lost control.
Klein's body suddenly erupted with powerful energy. He glared at Jean with red eyes. "Don't mention that name in front of me!"
"Ha!"
Jean looked at Klein with disdain. "You still want to fight with me? You're still a hundred years too young! "
Jean just waved his hand gently, and the energy around Klein disappeared. Jean even pressed him directly to the throne.
Klein was just an extraordinary-level swordsman. There was a huge gap between him and Jean. How could he resist Jean's power?
Although Jean was more than two hundred years old, Klein, with his gray hair, looked more like a weak old man compared to him.
Queen Sharnelly exclaimed, "Master Jean! Please don't hurt him! "
"I won't hurt him. As I said, the City of Silver has always been on the neutral side. We won't interfere with the internal affairs of other countries."
Jean looked coldly at Klein. Klein, who had lost control of his emotions, was growling like a trapped beast. Even the pretense of elegance and nobility had disappeared.
"But this time, we won't sit by and do nothing about Lothamar Castle."
Jean finally spoke his purpose. "This time, the City of Silver's sorcerers will be dispatched to assist the Knights Templar of the Radiant Church to completely clean up Lothamar Castle. I hope to see the Solant Kingdom's army withdraw from Lothamar Castle in the next few days."
"The specific cleaning plan will be decided according to the situation, but during the cleaning process, we won't rule out the possibility of using spells above grade 8."
"If you don't withdraw, you'll be responsible for the consequences if you're accidentally injured by spells."
"This is not a request, nor is it a negotiation. This is just conveying the decision of the City of Silver."
Jean said to Queen Sharnelly, "His Majesty Klein may not be emotionally stable enough. I hope you can convey my words to him after he calms down. I hope he can make the right choice before our people arrive."
"And you."
Zeon turned around and glanced at the ministers standing there. "Five years, a full five years! We've been paying attention to the Gate of Chaos, but we didn't even know about Lothamar Castle. Your confidentiality measures are really good! "
"I hope you don't forget that you're first and foremost a human, and then a citizen of the Solant Kingdom. As a human, I hope you understand who your real enemy is!"
"It's only been 167 years since the War of Chaos. We old guys are still alive, but what about you? You've forgotten the painful memories the creatures of Chaos brought to Prandal! "
"Work together to fight against the Chaos religion, or be content with the status quo and continue to enjoy yourselves. Choose for yourselves!"
After Jean finished speaking, he directly tore open a crack in space and left the throne room.
Jean's words were powerful, and all the ministers were silent. Only Klein's uncontrollable roar and Queen Sharnelly's gentle comforting voice could be heard in the throne room.
"I'm the king! He's just a magician! "
"How dare he be so rude!"
"Kill him! I'm going to kill him! "
"And that Tang En! Tang En, Tang En, Tang En! I'm going to kill Tang En! "
Sharnelly looked at Klein who was out of control and secretly shed tears. He had completely lost himself in power.
Especially since last year, Klein had clearly felt the pressure from the man in the south.
Within a year, the Irus Empire had been completely transformed. The average income of the citizens had increased by ten times, and the food production had also increased tremendously. There were even many kinds of incredible magic machines that had been born. The changes brought to the country could be said to be earth-shattering.
They could not imagine what kind of monster the Irus Empire would grow into in the next year!
Klein was under a lot of pressure, and almost all of this pressure came from Tang En!
Jean's words lit the fuse, and Klein had completely lost control of his emotions.
And it was foreseeable that soon, Klein would really face the pressure from Tang En.
After a group of ministers discussed in low voices for a while, Duke Carlton stepped forward. After all, the queen sitting on the throne was his daughter.
Duke Carlton said in a low voice, "Queen, we all agree that we should accept the help of the Radiant Church and the City of Silver. At least for now, it seems that only they can solve the situation in Lothamar Castle. Even if it is for the future of the Solant Kingdom, we should accept their help."
Queen Sharnelly sighed, "Father … Duke Carlton, I understand what you mean. I will consider it."
"Shut up! You old thing! We don't need help! We can solve Lothamar Castle! "
Klein, who had completely lost control of his emotions, roared, "I want to send out an army! I want to wash Lothamar Castle with blood! "
"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense."
Queen Sharnelly sighed, "Sending our army in will only be sending them to their deaths —"
The furious Klein slapped Queen Sharnelly's face and roared, "Shut up! You idiot! A soldier's mission is to fight to the death for the will of the Emperor! That is their honor! "
Seeing his daughter being slapped to the ground, Marquis Carlton's heart ached to death. But as a minister, he could only watch his daughter suffer.
Sharnelly covered her face and wept secretly. She was very sad.
Klein was about to go crazy.
Power made him addicted, ambition made him inflated. In order to realize his ambition, he, who was already over 60 years old, did not even take the throne. There were many rumors in the court, but he did not care at all.
What he wanted was the wonderful feeling of power in his hands.
"Didn't they want to come? Then let them come in! "
Klein's eyes were red, and he said with a murderous look, "What happens after they come in is not up to them!"
The ministers felt a chill in their hearts. This was bad!
