Chapter 17 The Envoy of the Kingdom of Fenlai
Chapter 17 The Envoy of the Kingdom of Fenlai
The twenty-year war has ended. It feels like only yesterday that chaos broke out. As the sun rises, many people begin to forget their former identity as belonging to the Kingdom of Anlan.
Inside the rebel army's headquarters, the conference table, stretching over a hundred meters, was now filled with people. After the Anlan royal family abandoned the capital, they vanished without a trace under the cover of night, while the level nine experts who were still holding out received the devastating news on New Year's Eve.
After all, in their view, although the situation in the Kingdom of Anlan was extremely dire, they were still subjects and generals who originally wanted to defend it to the death, but unfortunately their own emperor had run away.
Among these level nine warriors who remained steadfast in their defense were many loyalists of the Anlan royal family, as well as many others who remained true to their beliefs. When the royal family fled under cover of night, the loyalists rallied all their forces and launched a counterattack. However, it was clear that a mere dozen or so level nine warriors were no match for the nearly fifty level nine warriors. The loyalists were all killed, and those who survived were those who remained true to their faith. These were the people who could be persuaded.
Conquering the Anlan Kingdom is already a tremendous achievement, and the more level-nine warriors he can command, the higher his status will be for the Golden Grand Duke.
The conference room, having weathered many years and undergone several changes, now subtly divides into four levels.
One of them was the Grand Duke, Golden Lion, who sat in the head seat. He was a peak level nine expert, the only peak level nine expert in the resistance, and considered himself the leader of the resistance. He was also the speaker of this meeting.
On either side of the Golden Lion were several late-stage level nine experts who were among the first to join the resistance, including Duke Thorn of Srode. Below them were mid-stage level nine experts and peak level nine powerhouses who joined later. The rest were early-stage level nine experts and early-stage and mid-stage level nine experts who had joined in recent years.
The existence of the Anlan Kingdom now only exists in history, and this is clearly a good time for the rebels to sit back and divide the spoils.
Among the people sharing the fruit, two factions split up.
One is the original faction, which consists of level nine experts attracted by their Saint-level techniques. Most of them are at the late level nine stage. Of the original seventeen level nine experts, only thirteen remain. Almost all of those at the early level nine stage died on the battlefield.
Besides the original faction, there is the nobility faction. Most of these people are at the early to mid-level of level nine, and most of them joined for power. Many of them officially joined after seeing the surrender of Lanxi Province.
The title-granting faction, also known as the Golden Lion, means that anyone who can destroy the Anlan Kingdom will be granted the title of Duke. This is why most members of the title-granting faction are at the early to mid-level of level nine, since according to the rules of a kingdom, they are at most at the level of Earl.
Based on the scale of the Yulan Continent, large forces can be divided into empires, kingdoms, and duchies. The condition for creating a duchy is that a duke must serve as its ruler, which also means that one must have the strength of a mid-to-late level nine to be qualified. As for kingdoms, they require a Saint-level expert to establish them, and a level nine duke is only an appendage of the kingdom. As for empires, there are only four empires on the Yulan Continent.
The O'Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, the Luo'ao Empire, and the Rhine Empire were all founded by god-level powerhouses. However, the god-level powerhouses behind the Luo'ao Empire and the Rhine Empire perished during the interdimensional invasion. Nevertheless, these two empires relied on their own resources and the fact that the god-level powerhouses no longer interfered with the operation of the empires, thus having a buffer period from the power of the god-level powerhouses, and even still controlling vast territories.
The Empire is the most powerful force on the Yulan Continent. Without the emergence of a god-level expert, even the Holy Church of Light can only form the Holy Alliance.
Today, west of the Monster Mountains lies the territory of the Holy Alliance. The legendary Pope once allowed the dukes within the Holy Alliance's territory to establish their own duchies, but they are still under the rule of the Holy Alliance.
Many level-nine experts in the Anlan Kingdom's resistance army joined because of this order.
At this moment, everyone was sitting in rows, sharing the fruit. Many people were looking intently at the Grand Duke sitting in the head seat, clearly waiting for him to fulfill his promise.
"Rest assured, everyone, I will not lie about the promise I make. However, this promise will not be made by me, but by someone else."
As Jin Shizi finished speaking, a man dressed in a white robe walked into the conference room, exuding a reassuring aura.
"Grand Magister of Light?"
Everyone present was a level nine expert, experienced and knowledgeable, so they could naturally sense something from the aura of the newcomer.
"As expected, according to Father's words, the Holy Land is behind this resistance."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin and Colin exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts.
The highest mountain range on the Yulan Continent is the Monster Mountain Range, and to the northwest of the Monster Mountain Range lies the territory of the Holy Alliance. Within the Holy Alliance, the cultivation of dark magic and battle aura is forbidden. Those with light talents are absorbed by the Church of Light from a young age. Those with average talents who are absorbed by the Church of Light become priests.
Priests are a class within the Holy See of Light. From Level 1 Warriors to Level 9 Warriors, from Level 1 Mages to Level 9 Archmages, all belong to the priest class. Those with lower strength are missionaries responsible for spreading the faith of light, while priests who reach Level 9 can serve as cardinals of the Holy See of Light. As for the Holy Domain, that is another class altogether.
Clearly, this newcomer exudes the aura of light magic, and level nine light archmages are only commonly found in the Holy Alliance, apart from the Holy See of Light, and in the Kingdom of Fenlai.
"Fellow rebel leaders, I am Hill Paulin." The middle-aged man in white robes spoke very briefly, but his words conveyed a great deal of meaning.
The Polin family is the royal family of the Kingdom of Fenlai. The fact that a ninth-level archmage could arrive at the rebels' headquarters without any obstacles means that the Kingdom of Fenlai is the power behind the rebels.
According to the agreement of the Holy Alliance, the Kingdom of Fenlai is the leader within the Holy Alliance, and other kingdoms and duchies are required to support the Kingdom of Fenlai. Lin Talos, having ruled the Talos family for over a hundred years, quickly realized that the Kingdom of Anlan had lost its right to maintain its status after losing a Saint-level expert, and the resistance was merely a scheme by the Kingdom of Fenlai to reorganize the territory of the Kingdom of Anlan.
