Chapter 959 269: Provocation from Beyond the Arena, the Magic Monarch's Intimidation, Eyes Watching Conspiracy (10K)
"To protect this land from the corruption of the gods led to such a tragic cost for our ancestors who lived here, with nine out of ten households deserted, white cloth covering the ground. We will not allow such suffering to happen a second time."
When the middle-aged man said this, everyone present subconsciously nodded their heads.
AO's voice emerged from the ball of light. This time, the mechanical tone in his voice was significantly reduced, as he softly said:
"Wouldn't it be more likely for you to kill those guys if a war actually broke out on the lands of the Human Federation?"
"I said, we will not allow the flames of war to ignite on our land again."
"Even if the warriors of your Human Federation face foreign death, just like the Silver Guard Army you sent on an assassination mission back then?"
"It doesn't matter. By the time we sat down here, all of us were mentally prepared...
We, these old fellows, also want to seek out our predecessors who have been fighting on the front lines.
Now, it's time to take over."
"Thank you all for your sacrifice."
Inside the ball of light, AO's voice quietly emerged once more, this time devoid of any mechanical tone.
"So, are you all ready? The last train to Hell, the Gate of the Netherworld, is about to unfold here."
The crowd burst into laughter, leaving only a meaningful statement: "No, do you still think we're the Human Federation from back then?
The last train to Hell? Get it clear; we are Hell!"
"Then I'll look forward to your performance as much as possible."
...
The decision made in the darkness also remained unknown to outsiders.
Now, for Kael and his side, the unfolding situation had become even more interesting.
Although War Mages had been developing within the Duchy of Englance for some time, it was the first time they were this prominently out in the open.
In fact, it wasn't just in Golden City; in any large city where news was prevalent, many people had already noticed the surging undercurrents from the Mage Group.
The public still held a relatively positive perception of the Mage Group.
Even though to many people, they might not really comprehend how much knowledge could change their lives, or they were so exhausted from the day-in and day-out heavy work that they no longer had the energy to learn new things.
But there was at least one point that everyone could understand.
That is, warriors, due to long periods of muscle clashes and barehanded combat, were always prone to the action of "bearing arms, igniting the desire to kill."
Infiltrators lurked in the shadows, and once greed arose, they could easily unleash their dark nature in the dark corners.
Various other professions were visibly dangerous to the civilians.
After all, the emergence of these professions was aimed at harnessing their characteristics to exhibit their violent attributes.
Although such circumstances could also arise within the Mage Group, the strength of mages had always relied on endless learning.
It could be said that for the Mage Group, power was merely a byproduct of their strength.
At its core, they always sought knowledge.
Though sometimes knowledge could cause significant destruction in reality due to improper use, there was no doubt that, at least on the surface, the threat level from the Mage Group to the people was relatively mild.
So when great commotions occurred within the Mage Group, there were still many individuals who had a favorable view of them that cast concerned glances their way.
Among these, the topics of "the youngest Magic Monarch in history" and "War Mage theory" unsurprisingly became subjects widely talked about.
Because Kael's current status inherently carried a significant degree of political factors.
After all, nowadays, everyone knows that Viscount Helois is ready to take on the position of Duke of Englance at any time, and now the Holy Briania suddenly claims that sinful blood flows within him and demands the Bell Federation to purge Kael.
If you say this is targeted at Kael, even the room's loafers wouldn't believe such nonsense.
It's merely an excuse to target the Duchy of Englance or even the Bell Federation.
Anyone who understands the situation knows that Kael cannot be harmed, much less killed, otherwise, it would be a major blow to the morale of the rapidly developing Bell Federation.
At that time, whether the many forces within the Bell Federation, which no longer held enough confidence, could peacefully remain within the Federation becomes uncertain.
So at this moment, the fact that Kael has become a Magic Monarch will inevitably be labeled with a special tag...
After all, this means Kael's overall combat capability is no longer threatened by ordinary people, and even without the Federation's protection, he would still likely defend himself.
With the Federation's joint protection, there's no need to say much more.
Therefore, once it was immediately confirmed on site that Kael was already a Magic Monarch, such news spread rapidly outside like falling snow, even attracting the attention of the Bell Federation's upper echelons as well as various other surrounding countries.
