The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 770 The new Prime Minister

The reason for such a commotion began with the fact that 52 of the 81 States of the Godslayer Humankind Empire had formed a cordon that limited movement in and out of the Prometheus Sector. No matter how high your background, no one was allowed to get in or out without the authorization of the Scarlet Alliance.

This could already be considered a clear sign of treason against the Imperial Court, but the Scarlet Alliance went one step further. Its great generals formed even tighter perimeters around the Silver City, flanking it from the four cardinal directions. They were not alone since the forces of the Diamond Saint Duke and the Hellblazer Family supported the siege of Eden.

One of the strongest human True Titans, dozens of Titans, and hundreds of Divine Ascension Masters were besieging the Silver City. Such power could make anyone tremble, and that was just the surface.

There was also the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, who had been absent the last month and whose power was rumored to have broken beyond the True Titan Tier.

Worst of all, that force was led by the Scarlet King, who seemed to be the strongest Godslayer Human in the Empireʼs history!

There was a massive white castle in the center of Eden, surrounded by nine Titan Towers, assembled in a formation. In one of its most imposing halls, twenty people were yelling at each other. The air was thick with tension, and the scent of fear mingled with the heavy drapes that adorned the walls.

The Imperial Court was aware of the monster closing its jaws on their neck, and their reaction was just as deplorable as would be expected from a coalition willing to see the north of their empire burn.

A tall man with a thin body wearing a golden robe and adorned with various treasures shouted with rage.

”This is preposterous! How does a mere Colonel from the Imperial Army dare form a force that defies the power of the Imperial Court? This is clearly a coup attempt by the Collapsing Lightning Duke, who is using that brat as a puppet to fall back on in case his plot doesnʼt work.”

The man had not finished his words when another thin man with even more ornaments shouted in rage.

”Chancellor Varik, it doesnʼt matter who is behind this coup. Our wrath must be directed at the Sector Dukes who refuse to answer our summoning. We must send them more messages indicating that it is their duty to come and fight in the name of the Imperial Court.”

”Indeed, as Minister Taryn says. Itʼs clear that their loyalties lie not with the Empire but with their own skins. We were merciful, allowing them to rest during the war in the north, yet this is how they repay us. After this is over, we must demand they send every single woman and child from their families into the court to serve as punishment.”

A fat, bald man shouted in rage, his eyes spouting hatred, yet even as calamity arose, there was also lust in them.

”Cowards, all of them. We can only depend on ourselves now. We must rally the forces of the Imperial Army inside Eden against the Scarlet Alliance!”

This time, the one who shouted was someone with mighty armor and a sign on his shoulder that marked him as Marshal of the Prometheus Sector, the highest military rank in the capital. However, not only was he very young, but anyone who glanced at him for more than five seconds could see he was someone who had never set foot on a battlefield.

”General Carsor, what are you talking about? The forces surrounding the Silver City contain several Titans and a True Titan. The number of soldiers inside the Silver City is pitiful and could not endure more than a minute.”

Another old man rebuked the young generalʼs words, and a flash of embarrassment appeared on his face. He did not even know how many soldiers the Silver City had, yet he would not tolerate someone embarrassing him and immediately offered an idea.

”What about the people living in the Silver City? We should give a weapon to every man, woman, and child. They are Godslayer Humans and should be able to fight in the name of the Imperial Court, up to the last man.”

The young manʼs words surprised many, not due to their viability but their lack of sense. Even if they gave weapons and armor to every civilian in the Silver City, they were mostly Wave Warriors and Wave Champions without proper training, and a single strike from a True Titan would be enough to take care of them, so they would only be sending people to the slaughterhouse.

However, soon, they began to look at each other, and a meaningful light appeared in their eyes. If they enrolled all those people into the army, they could use them as human shields, making the Scarlet Alliance afraid of mobilizing their troops and giving them a chance to regain control.

As for the fact they would be using children as shields, that did not matter in the slightest to them.

The current Imperial Court was not the same in control of the Empire before The Great Cataclysm. After the new Prime Minister rose to power, he replaced most of the officials in the Imperial Court with people who would not question his command as long as they were well paid.

Doing that, the new Prime Minister generated an Imperial Court corrupted to the core that focused only on their personal benefit, not caring what would happen to the empire as long as they could benefit.

Just as these people continued to bark orders and futile ideas, whose only purpose was to protect them, the gates of the Imperial Hall opened, showing a young man who walked in with a radiant smile.

Immediately, all those corrupted officials clasped their hands and bowed, as they knew they would need to depend on that person if they wanted to survive.

”We greet the Prime Minister, Michael Godsoul.”
