Chapter 1506: Chapter 1506
"Uncle, aren’t you coming yet?"
Master Sun was in the tent, holding the Little Princess’s sleeve tightly, "My dear sister, don’t let these enchantresses catch your brother away..."
The other three Protectors of the Reed Mountain Country secretly asked to see the King together and pressured him privately, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be ignored."
"Chilton Dante killed another Protector brazenly in front of everyone. If we let it go, it will have a very bad influence in the future."
His Majesty was naturally worried that Chilton Dante might become uncontrollable and was willing to use the three Protectors to restrain Chilton Dante, "So... How do the three of you, Your Excellencies, think we should deal with this?"
"Have him lead the army to conquer the Godfery Kingdom!"
The three Protectors wanted to borrow a knife to kill and use Lord Solar to suppress Chilton Dante’s ardor. They thought there was no "need" for a face-to-face battle with Chilton Dante, in fact, they didn’t have the courage. But they could use political means to force Chilton Dante. As long as Chilton Dante was not a madman, he would not openly break with the three Protectors.
With everyone mutually wary, Chilton Dante eventually had only one choice, which was to face Lord Solar.
His Majesty considered it briefly and nodded, "This plan is brilliant."
If he wins, his own forces can annex the Godfery Kingdom; if he loses, it can also serve as a warning to Chilton Dante. However, when sending the messenger to convey the imperial edict, the messenger needed to make it clear to Chilton Dante that this was not the Emperor’s intention but that the three Protectors were displeased with him for killing Keith.
After the three Protectors bid farewell and left the Imperial Palace, they exchanged opinions with each other, "Can Chilton Dante win? If he really defeats Lord Solar, it will not suppress him, but rather enhance his prestige."
"The ignorant masses think that since Chilton Dante killed Keith, he has the ability to defeat Lord Solar, how ridiculous! Lord Solar protects four countries and remains undefeated. Do you think Chilton Dante can win? Heh heh."
"I have received definite news that Lord Solar has entered an Ancient Annihilation Domain, and when he returns, he will be at the Six Realms level. If Chilton Dante dares to challenge Lord Solar, he will be taught a lesson."
The same eunuch who came to convey the edict yesterday came again. The eunuch detailed His Majesty’s "difficulty" to Master Sun, showing a posture of "His Majesty is on your side" and finally said, "This matter is entirely because of the joint pressure of the three Protectors, Tom Leyes, Omar Kingiger, and Melvin Parker. His Majesty has no choice..."
Master Sun bowed to accept the decree, then said to the eunuch, "Please convey to His Majesty that as a loyal subject of Reed Mountain Country, I will never make things difficult for His Majesty."
A smile spread across the eunuch’s face, "With Your Excellency’s assurance, we can rest assured, and I will thank you on behalf of His Majesty."
Master Sun stopped him again, "Please wait, Your Excellency. If I want to get this done, I need His Majesty to grant me the Military Dragon Tiger List!" The eunuch hesitated for a moment, "This... I will definitely report the truth to His Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
After the eunuch left, the rulers of Central State all balanced the power of the Protectors in their country in such a way. Rulers who were unable to play this game well were considered foolish kings!
Little Princess and Velda Yvette entered one after the other. Velda Yvette was followed by four "maids," each of them wearing a very "clever" costume, which showed off their most prominent assets in an extremely straightforward manner.
It was really too obvious.
Master Sun was in great pain, as the targets were too large to avoid. He couldn’t find a place to rest his gaze.
As if not seeing the Little Princess, Velda Yvette asked her husband, "Are you really going to conquer the Godfery Kingdom? It’s been spreading rampant recently that Lord Solar has already performed the Sixth Mini-world and wants to kill for prestige and accumulate momentum for entering the Eighth Realm!"
Master Sun glared back, "I just said that, as a loyal and devoted subject of Reed Mountain Country, I cannot trouble His Majesty! Tom Leyes, Omar Kingiger, and Melvin Parker, relying on their status as Protectors, dare to join forces to coerce His Majesty. They deserve ten thousand deaths!"
"I will immediately raise troops to purify the royal presence!"
"Execute the treacherous Tom Leyes, Omar Kingiger, and Melvin Parker!"
I am here to sabotage, not to help you expand your territory! If you force me to fight Lord Solar, am I just supposed to obediently obey? Am I foolish or are you too naive?
Velda Yvette’s eyes widened, is this your idea of "not troubling His Majesty?"! But if her husband were to really fight Lord Solar, Velda Yvette felt that there was no guarantee of success. This way of handling things, though tricky, seemed also... very good?
Tom Leyes returned to his sect.
He was an orphan, adopted by his master when he was young, and grew up in the sect. He gradually became a Protector, and his sect, Ask-Sword Mountain, leaped from a second-rate sect in Reed Mountain Country to a top major power.
At this time, everyone in the sect called Tom Leyes "Ancestral Patriarch," with an extremely distinguished status.
Ask-Sword Mountain had received multiple rewards from the King, and at this time, the land of four counties near the mountain gate had become Ask-Sword Mountain’s private property.
In addition to Tom Leyes, the sect also had a full ten Sixth Great Realm cultivators, but Tom Leyes had no Dao partner and would not forcibly promote his Dao partner to the Seventh Realm like Chilton Dante. And Velda Yvette, a Seventh Realm cultivator, was no match for a peak Sixth Realm in the eyes of a true Protector.
Tom Leyes had been trying to break through the Fifth Realm, also for the title of "Chief Protector." All the resources in the sect were given priority to him.
Tom Leyes estimated that by the time Chilton Dante and Lord Solar’s battle would be over, he would be able to perform his fifth Mini-world performance. By then, he, Omar Kingiger, and Melvin Parker could approach Lord Solar to negotiate and ask him to withdraw. Thus, he could completely suppress Chilton Dante and officially become the Chief Protector of Reed Mountain Country!
As he dreamt of this beautiful vision, he suddenly saw a scene from the outside world from his secret chamber: A gourd jumped out of the void, instantly becoming enormous, shrouding the entire mountain gate!
Tom Leyes was furious and roared out of his hiding place, "Which mouse... " Master Sun had already appeared, letting go of the hand holding the Little Princess as she rushed out with a swish.
Master Sun raised a sacred decree in his hand and shouted, "By His Majesty’s command—purify the royal side and execute the rebel Tom Leyes!"
Tom Leyes was confused. What’s going on? I just came back from His Majesty!
The people on Ask-Sword Mountain couldn’t move. They only saw "Chilton Dante" holding a sacred decree to "purify the king’s side," but Master Sun didn’t open the sacred decree, so no one knew what was written in it...
"Nonsense!" Tom Leyes opened his Mini-world and used the Seventh Realm Fighting Techniques to strike the Gourd Mini-world, only to find... his Mini-world couldn’t touch the Gourd! Instead, it was encompassed by the Gourd!
Then Master Sun’s Mini-world descended, and with just one collision, Tom Leyes’ four Mini-worlds shattered in succession.
"Ah—" Tom Leyes roared, what was going on? When did Chilton Dante become so powerful? Unfortunately, he had no time to find the answer, as the Little Princess was already pouncing on him with teeth and claws bared.
Tom Leyes and his two fellow Protectors had underestimated Master Sun’s bottom line. After they left the Imperial Palace separately, they did not agree to "watch and help each other." By the time Omar Kingiger and Melvin Parker arrived, Tom Leyes had been jointly suppressed by Master Sun and the Little Princess in the "All-encompassing" Mini-world!
