Chapter 1207: Chapter 1175: I Disagree
...
Nine Nether Continent
Jialan Empire, Church Divine Hall
In the room belonging to the Divine Son, a sudden burst of light flashed:
"Book of Planes"
When the light dissipated, Lin Yi, dressed in a long robe edged with silver inlays, appeared in the room.
As soon as Lin Yi appeared, he heard an unexpected voice in his ear:
"Eh, Lin Yi, why have you come?"
However, Lin Yi seemed already aware of the person’s presence here, expressionless, he said:
"Come with me to the imperial palace."
Fu Bai was taken aback:
"Why go there?"
Lin Yi:
"To the Jialan Imperial Palace."
...
...
In the grand hall of the imperial palace in Jialan City, all the bigwigs of the Jialan Empire gathered
At this moment, the hall was bustling, almost everyone held one or two pieces of magic equipment.
An elderly man, dressed in fine attire, holding a delicate magic staff, walked to the center of the hall, trembling with excitement:
"Your Majesty, take a look at this."
"This is a Tier Five superb spiritual artifact (Lv40-Lv50)!"
"Can you imagine that this was dropped by a foreign invader my boy killed?"
Upon saying this, the empire’s Left Minister appeared somewhat incoherent:
"Your Majesty."
"I believe we should deploy troops to the Demon Forest; these foreign invaders deserve no pity."
"We can also obtain a large number of magic equipment from them, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
But soon someone stepped forward:
"I agree with the Left Minister’s proposal."
A general in armor strode out, his voice loud and resonant:
"Your Majesty!"
"I am willing to lead the Griffin Corps to clear out all invaders, to enhance our Jialan’s divine power."
With someone leading, others followed suit, and soon a younger-looking general stepped out unwilling to be outdone:
"Your Majesty!"
"My Jialan border guards, eight hundred thousand troops, are ready to be dispatched at any time."
"Your Majesty! My hundred thousand imperial guards are standing by at any time..."
"Your Majesty..."
Seeing almost all the armor-clad generals competing to be dispatched, those civil ministers were not having it, each agitated:
"Your Majesty! We at the Fate Pavilion are willing to make a small contribution."
"Your Majesty! I..."
"Enough!"
Seeing the chaos spread throughout the grand hall, Gongsun Bo, who holds high authority, immediately interrupted:
"The matter is not yet decided, what’s the rush?"
This angry rebuke silenced the entire grand hall.
Those who were about to step forward to ’request dispatch’ had to retract their steps.
The empire’s Left Minister Yu Wenqing spoke again:
"Your Majesty!"
"I have received reports that over tens of thousands of elite troops have gathered at the border of the Demon Forest by Purple Moon and Ao Sheng’s side."
"What they intend to do, Your Majesty, should be quite clear?"
"If we let them gain the advantage and reap the benefits, it would pose a significant threat to our Jialan Empire!"
Yu Wenqing once again weighed the exquisite magic staff in his hand, his expression full of greed:
"If we could equip our army with such equipment and establish a magic corps."
Yu Wenqing looked up at Gongsun Bo in shock:
"The enhancement of our Jialan Empire’s overall strength would be immense, Your Majesty!!"
Imagining the beautiful blueprint Yu Wenqing painted, someone couldn’t resist and said:
"Your Majesty!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we cannot let it slip by!"
"Order the deployment of troops!"
Then dozens of civil and military ministers in the grand hall, in unison, addressed Gongsun Bo:
"Deploy the troops, Your Majesty!"
Seeing the eager faces of the Jialan higher-ups, as the highest decision-maker of the Jialan Empire, it was impossible for Gongsun Bo not to be tempted.
The fact that killing those foreign people could gain magic equipment was something Gongsun Bo knew even earlier than them.
However, what Gongsun Bo himself did not expect was.
The level of magic equipment dropped by these foreign people was so high.
Almost every killed foreign person would drop one or two pieces of magic equipment.
Usually, these pieces of magic equipment, which one wasn’t fought over as priceless treasures when taken out?
But now, all you need to do is kill those ’appearing’ in the Demon Forest from other planes, and you can obtain these magic equipment that many people couldn’t even dream of.
When this news broke out, the billions of people from the Three Great Empires of the Nine Nether Continent went into a frenzy.
From the behavior of these high-ranking, usually stern civil and military ministers, one could see some clues.
Now all corners of the Nine Nether Continent have people continuously heading to the Demon Forest,
Now the Demon Forest is evidently becoming the gigantic cake in the eyes of the Nine Nether Continent’s natives.
Anyone with even a little strength wants a bite.
Ordinary people would do so, let alone a grand empire.
At this moment, Crown Prince Gongsun Zhi couldn’t help but step forward:
"Father."
"Your son wishes to lead the charge to slay external evils; may I have your blessing."
Seeing even the Crown Prince couldn’t resist getting involved, Gongsun Bo suddenly turned his gaze to Gongsun Yan at the side, who seemed indifferent, as if what happened here was none of his business:
"Gongsun Yan, you, the Chief Judge of the Punishment Bureau, do you not wish to contribute to our Jialan Country?"
Upon hearing Gongsun Bo call his name, Gongsun Yan finally opened his half-squinted eyes:
"Your Majesty already has so many capable ministers, what need is there for the Punishment Bureau."
After hearing this, Gongsun Bo’s face not only lacked a trace of joy but instead looked at Gongsun Yan meaningfully:
"I just want to hear your opinion."
"Should our Jialan deploy troops to the Demon Forest?"
Upon these words, almost everyone’s gaze instinctively fell on Gongsun Yan, the most unique existence in the Jialan Empire apart from Lin Yi.
Before Lin Yi became the Jialan King...
Gongsun Yan, not only as the Chief Judge of the Punishment Bureau, holding the power of life and death;
He was also titled as the Prince of East Town, commanding a terrifyingly powerful Eastern Town Army.
Since Gongsun Yan took the position of Chief Judge, he has been an unignorable terror figure in the Jialan Empire.
Usually, when Gongsun Bo faced any issue, nine times out of ten he would ask him for his opinion.
In major decisions, Gongsun Yan held enormous influence.
Even the Crown Prince could not compare.
Therefore, everyone wanted to know what decision Gongsun Yan would ultimately make.
But unexpectedly, Gongsun Yan did not directly answer Gongsun Bo’s question, instead said:
"Why not ask our Jialan King this question?"
Jialan King!!!
Upon hearing this name, everyone’s expression shifted.
The current Jialan King is the Divine Son of the Church!
Not to mention his heavyweight identity, the main issue is, where can we find him now?
Since Lin Yi took over as the Divine Son of the Church, he has seemingly vanished, let alone attended court.
The Emperor personally visiting the church the next day to see this Divine Son holding the Jialan King title did not even succeed in meeting him.
Now Gongsun Yan suggesting Gongsun Bo asks the Jialan King...
To everyone, it seemed to have a sardonic meaning.
But at that moment, suddenly a voice came from the door:
"I do not agree!"
