Since a rebellion was going to happen anyway, Chiron did not mind channeling the course of the rebellion to fit his standard.
In fact, he did not mind heading the rebellion itself.
There were significant advantages to a rebellion.
Firstly, it would allow the citizens of the country to put their faith in one person.
This alone advocated for unity.
For specific goals to be achieved, unity was important.
In other words, they could now become willing slaves.
Of course, he had noted in his calculations the possibility of others also starting their own movements for the liberation of the country.
At the time, Captain Timi had suggested he used Iceberg to silence any rebel leader that may arise.
However, Chiron had a grasp of human psychology that was very terrifying.
The political manipulation skills of his past world were refined through hundreds of years of experience and exploitation, adjusting various techniques and strategies to bring out an eclipsing system of capturing the hearts of the poblic.
Even in modern times, many were aware of what the politicians were doing.
However, they still voted for them.
Such was the prolific nature of these kills.
There was another saying in Chiron's former world amongst athletes of a particular sport: just because the Keeper sees the ball coming does not mean the ball won't enter the goal post.
Essentially, because people knew of the methods did not mean that it won't work.
Human beings were made in such a manner, and that was a generation where knowledge was more accessible than ever before.
Although this was the cultivation world, in terms of public knowledge, the masses were incredibly lacking.
As opposed to Captain Timi's suggestion, Chiron had Iceberg get closer to those rebel leaders.
After all, if he fought them,it would be assumed that he was hungry for the throne, and this would not sit well with the public.
It would just mean that they now had another dictator.
Even though it was from their own land, a rebellion against him would eventually rise.
Instead, Iceberg displayed himself to the public as one who was here to serve, and serve the people.
He even publicly announced that he was willing to go under Razad's wings so that Razad could take the throne.
Iceberg was a Bronze ranked cultivator while Razad was a copper rank cultivator.
Iceberg saying he was willing to go under Razad displayed his humility to the public.
This added extra medals to his chest amongst the common people.
Such selflessness definitely won their hearts.
Also, the other rebel leaders would see him in a more favourable light.
And then there was the assault on the Capital City that signified the pride of the country.
Anyone that wanted to be king and fully win the heart of the people had to defeat Chiron the invader.
Iceberg was already on Chiron's side and the entire plan had been thought out by the armless prince himself.
And now, the next phase of the plan.
Chiron turned to Iceberg, "I plan to be leaving soon, you will declare Razad dead. Saying that he died during battle, but managed to force me running with my tail in between my legs. Afterwards, you'll become king."
Razad was once more left speechless.
Even Hardstone took sharp breaths in and out.
With the reputation Iceberg had gotten with the public, he would truly be in the best position to become king.
However, that was not what shocked him.
What really shocked him was the fact that Iceberg would still answer to Chiron.
This meant that Chiron had essentially enslaved an entire kingdom.
This was indeed incredible news.
The people of the Chanland country will never know.
In fact, no one will ever know.
Commander Hardstone looked around.
In this large throne room, only himself, Chiron and his younger brother, Captain Timi were present.
The fact that Chiron was letting him know such an incredible national level secret just showed how much Chiron trusted him.
It really touched his heart.
However, he did not know that the only reason Chiron was letting him on this secret was because he wanted to place a huge burden on Commander Hardstone that would push his decisions in the royal court in the future to favour Chiron.
As long as he knew Chiron was already the Secret leader of a another nation, he would slowly be drawn towards Chiron's camp.
Commander Hardstone was a bronze rank warrior.
Chiron having him on his side was only going to favour him in the future.
These conversations happened before Razad's eyes.
Razad was not dumb.
He knew that if they were talking about such important matters in front of him, then it meant that they did not view him as a threat.
In fact, they viewed him as an already dead man.
Razad gritted his teeth so hard that his jaw bleed.
He could not believe that his end was about to come.
He was still young, and with all he had suffered in his life, he was not ready to die.
He really did not want to die.
He suddenly turned to Chiron determined to change his fate.
"Please, my Prince. Let me live. I'll do anything you ask. I'll even sign the blood oath. Anything at all."
Shameless, he slammed his head to the ground again and again beginning for his life.
*Dum! Dum!! Dum!!!*
Even though he bleed from his forehead, he did not stop.
Right now, nothing was more important to him than life itself.
Title, Arrogance, pride and patriotism had all been thrown out of the window.
After all, in the Afterlife, those things were useless.
Who cared about revenge for the people or the late king?
All that was divine bullshit when his life was under the guillotine.
Therefore, he begged stupidly.
However, this only made Chiron chuckle.
He turned to Razad, "you should be proud. Your people will celebrate you for hundreds of years. You will become a Hero, and a Stature of you in your best valiant form will be made and placed in the captain city."
Although Chiron's words sounded grand, however, in Razad's ears, it was the singing of the Grand Reaper...
