Lord Shadow

Chapter 1767: Chaos in Asia

But while the main person holding up the Lotus Order has died and the man who protected it has fled, this did not mean that the Lotus order itself suddenly fall into irrelevancy.

To most people that relies on the Lotus Order, the Lotus Order has truly crumbled.

But not to the warlords that conquered the Lotus Palace.

There is a provision in the law of the World Security Councill that prohibits other world powers to invade another world power territory unless there is compelling reason

Only after the matter is debated and most of the majority agree, then military action would be taken.

And even then, this battle should not involve the innocent.

Those who fight, even if they die, they know what they are getting into.

But settlements and people that are not a part of this conflict must be evacuated and the damage must be minimized as best as they could

If this is not respected, then every world power has the right to punish this belligerent force.

Lotus Order coup might be violent but in the end, to the rest of the world it is the internal matter of the Lotus Order and it is not their place to interfere.

It is a natural path of progression.

For any world power, if they are strong, they could protect the people. And if they are weak, they would be relegated to the background.

The warlords knows this.

And while they did not like Emperor Wei policy and reform nor the power he held; they understood the power of the title of the world power

The Lotus Order is a recognized force by Pandemonium. They are different from other unrecognized force in the world. Military action against them could not easily be taken as long as they are a recognized force.

But if the World Council decided to strip them off this recognized force then Lotus Order become a free game in the eyes of those world powers.

There is a reason why the world powers did not attack them and it is because they ae a recognized force.

In the world, there is recognized force and unrecognized force.

A recognized force could not easily be annexed nor could they be invaded wily nily and the infamy one would get by attacking such recognized force would send shockwave all over the world

But for unrecognized force any world power could annex them, coerce them or assimilate them into their power

It is a lot like during the colonial era where the world powers differentiated the civilized state and the uncivilized state and those uncivilized states have to gain the recognition of the western powers if they do not want to be attacked unprovoked

The warlords wanted to replace Emperor Wei and not actually destroy the Lotus Order.

If they were to be declared as unrecognized, the world powers all over the world would not be merciful and would bear down on them like a starving hyena crowding around a juicy meat

The warlords send their greetings to all the world powers, send gifts and resources and ask Pandemonium, World Government and the Republic to acknowledge their position

When they first heard the matter, the other world power was shocked that another world power was usurped

There is voices in each of the regime to mobilize troops.

Yes, all the world powers are in competitive situation. Other than the Three Great Powers, the other four world powers are all in turmoil

The reason why these world powers wanted to take action is simply because they fear what could happen to the Lotus Order could also happen to them

It is not a pleasant thought to entertain.

However, the Three Great Powers did not interfere in this matter. the rule on this matter is very clear.

Unless an external power directly invade, the rest of the world power should respect the will of the people in that force.

And if they did not commit act of massacre, genocidal behaviour or the killing of innocent people, the Peacekeeping Force of the World Council should not be mobilized

And regardless of what the warlords did to the resistance force, they did nots sack the city, they did not kill those who do not resists and their fight was quite minimal in damage.

If they could have maintained their power, it is not out of the realm of possibility for Pandemonium to recognize these warlords as the new Lotus order.

And the other reason is because the other three world powers was the one that put this into law. It would not good if they put it into law and the they were the ones that broke it.

But a more absurd thing happens later.

The world powers decided to acknowledge this matter. And everyone send their answer to the Lotus Order.

Because of the distance and also because of the barriers of the Ten Seas in each continent, this would take time

Unless someone with Essence Creation realm or Divine Comprehension realm would send this message, it would take months for the answer to arrive.

No one could just teleport to a place unless that place allow you to teleport in.

Other than Essence Creation realm leveler and Warp, no one in this world could easily teleport wherever they want anymore.

One might ask, why not ask Death Monarch, Raymond, Oreki and Hikigaya to send the message?

Yes, theoretically they could.

But unless you have no social skill, you would not be stupid enough to ask these powerful people to act like a courier?

Who in the world would dare go to the Centre Palace of Pandemonium, look at Death Monarch eyes and ask the strongest person in the world to be a courier to send message?

Are you that tired of living?

And as such, the message that was sent would take time to arrive.

And even by the time it arrived, the events might have spiralled out of control

When the message arrived at the other world powers headquarters, even though what is happening is shocking, nobody sent their army there.

Some might send some spies and scouts to see what changes had happen but most of the world powers continue to focus on their affairs.

When the message arrive, its seems a new dawn would rise in the Lotus Order

Some world powers even feel that it is good that the Lotus Order is usurped as new dynamic of relationship between world powers could be rearranged.

But sometimes, the reality is different from the ideal situation. Maybe some people could see it but none of them wanted to think that it could end differently from what they thought

Because everyone wanted to have hope for a better future for their own life.

But with the crumbling of the Lotus Order in Asian continent, rebellions and warlords rose up all over.

A new faction arises that did not like the warlords that occupies the capital.

They summon heroes and they fought against the warlords and a new force occupies the capital

This force lasted six months before they were ousted by another force.

Twenty years later, and the Lotus Order is just a name and there is no central government controlling Asia or a force powerful enough to command the warlords

It could be said that the Lotus Continent is now in disarray.

And for the past twenty years it is so much in chaos, that each time the meeting between the world powers is convened, there is always new representative to represent the Lotus Order

There was aid promised to them by the other world powers but nobody dares to give too much aid for fear of betting on the wrong horse.

That is what is happening in the Lotus Order, full of chaos. Who would finally take the throne of Lotus Order?

And when that person appears would it be a blessing to this world?

Lotus Order in the twenty years of fighting has made the Lotus Order more powerful. Yes, there is many chaos

But the death of the civilians that is caught in this conflict is ridiculously low. As it is the warriors of opposing sides that always dies fighting each other.

But chaos is also a sieve that split the powerful and the weak.

The Lotus Order is like a poison box where you put all poisonous creatures and they all fight against each other and the one that stands out in the end become the most poisonous one. Heroes and villains rises up and a great contention happens all over the Lotus Order territory.

Lotus Order has never been united.

Because the formation of Lotus Order was unilaterally decided and the people of Asia did not want to follow the Lotus Order just because they caught the eyes of Death Monarch. But now, that there is people using the banner of the Lotus Order to unite the Asian continent, it is estimated if Lotus Order is revived, it would be unlike the Lotus Order before.

And the world is waiting for that change.

Then there is the League of Freedom.

Surprisingly, the most stable out of the four upstarts of the world powers is the League of

Freedom >>
