Chapter 686: Withdraw from the Border, Leave Your Corpse Whole
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was no way one would be able to stay calm at such a prospect!
Kieran Normand wanted to transfer his grandson Luke Yates back to the Ministry of War to serve under him.
Most importantly, it depended on whether the Northern Army agreed or not!
Even though he was the leader of the Ministry of War, he was not allowed to ask for a man of the Northern Army to join him!
Kieran’s reputation wasn’t that big.
Luke shook his head. He completely disregarded his grandfather’s words.
The commissioner of Joronto, Karson Jacobo, slowly walked out with cupped hands and said, “Lord Kieran, can we start the meeting of the nine departments now?”
“There’s no need to discuss anymore. Send a message to the surrounding 100 countries. As long as they dare to cross the border of Hansworth, we will take it as an invasion by foreign enemies and start a war!”
Kieran of the Ministry of War was a hardcore war advocate.
War advocates would never be like the civil officials in the palace, thinking about peace talks all day long or resolving disputes through negotiations.
The heroic men of the Military Department and the Ministry of War were not afraid of battle!
Karson walked to the platform, where six historians stood.
They all belonged to the Imperial History Department!
The Imperial History Department was responsible for recording the words and deeds of the officials. Every time the court met, everyone’s words and deeds would be recorded and filed away for future generations to see.
Tristan Yandell’s words and Luke’s actions had all been recorded.
Karson stood in front of the stage, holding a pen as he drafted the order.
As the commissioner of Joronto, he was definitely qualified to draft the message personally.
Karson wrote more than 700 words and sent the order to the foreign countries according to Kieran’s instructions.
“Lord Kieran, what do you think of what I wrote?”
Karson handed over a thick yellow paper with both hands.
Kieran took it with one hand and glanced at it. He frowned and said coldly, “Such courtesy does not display the prestige of our country. On the contrary, it shows that we lack confidence. Send my message to the hundred countries!” “What is the message?
Dominic Lowe’s eyelids twitched. He knew that Kieran was not someone to be trifled with.
“Leave the border, and we will leave your body intact!” Kieran said ruthlessly with his hands behind his back.
Everyone was shocked!
Such words would undoubtedly infuriate the hundreds of countries outside the borders!
This sentence was not just domineering.
There was even a murderous aura!
But wno was Kieran’
In the history of Hansworth, he was the most capable fighter.
He was in charge of the Ministry of War!
In the past, the leaders of the Ministry of War all died in battle, they had never compromised!
If the Ministry of War gave in and lost their determination…
What would the other departments do?
The Ministry of War focused on war!
The Military Department focused on killing!
It was an unchanging principle.
At this moment, a heroic male voice came from outside the hall, resounding throughout the entire hall.
“That’s a good message. You are still the same even after a hundred years, Kieran!”
As the bold man’s voice fell, a young man in a black cloak entered the hall. He had a head of silver hair, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life.
Outside the palace, the guard in yellow shouted, “Lord Zavier Leach of the Military Department has arrived!”
The leader of the nine departments, Zavier Leach.
He had arrived!
All the officials in the hall bowed and said, “Lord Zavier Leach!”
Zavier was in charge of the Military Department and could mobilize all the elites in the world. He was a high-ranking official and was conferred the title ‘Pillar of the Country’.
This was the prestige of the older generation.
The civil and military officials all bowed.
The true big shots of Hansworth had all appeared today.
There was no other reason than the invasion of foreign enemies!
The armies of a hundred countries were pointing their blades at the gates of Hansworth.
These big shots had to show up!
The guard, who was outside the hall, said solemnly, “Warrior Department’s Lord Sawyer Quail has arrived!”
“Everyone, you’re early!”
A man in green was tall and elegant like a scholar.
He was the leader of the Warrior Department, Savvyer Quail!
Looking at his restrained aura, he was probably a super pinnacle!
When one’s strength reached this stage, one’s vitality would be restrained, and their pores would be sealed. None of their strength would leak out, and they would refine themselves internally.
As a result, every expert’s body was thin and tall!
Looking at all the pinnacle martial artists in the world, none of them had the appearance of a fat old man with a big belly.
When pinnacles were old, they would be even thinner, like a skeleton.
Those were all signs of internal refinement due to the decline of one’s vitality.
Zavier Leach of the Military Department, Kieran Normand of the Ministry of War, and Sawyer Quail of the Warrior Department had all arrived.
The entire hall was silent!
No one dared to say anything.
These were the three titans of the nine departments.
The upper three departments belonged to them.
The three mid-level departments were at the middle.
The three lower departments, like the dark division, could not be compared to them.
These three great figures were the absolute figures who held the power of the country.
When Sawyer arrived, he looked at Syrus Yanagi and bowed slightly. “Your Highness Syrus, is Lord Northern King alright?”
“He’s alright!”
Syrus briefly returned the greeting.
“Since everyone is here, I’ll announce the decree!” Zavier said sternly.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked over and saw a sealed top-secret document in Zavier’s hand.
Zavier had not even read this document in advance.
It was obvious that he wanted to announce it in the hall.
As Zavier stood there, the entire place was silent. No one dared to question him and waited quietly for the announcement.
As the top-secret document was opened.
Zavier said in a serious voice, “The capital’s decree is as follows: foreigners have gathered their armies and are stationed at the borders of Hansworth. If they dare to invade Hansworth, they are seen as foreign enemies and must be killed!
“This decree has been officially issued. Those who advocate peace negotiations will be killed!
“Cowards, killed!
“Those who collude with the enemy, killed!”
The three consecutive sentences shocked the officials.
Zavier calmly said, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. There is still a second capital decree. The decree is as follows: now that the war is about to begin, all ministers must contribute to the country. The various powerful families in the capital must send 10,000 people to reinforce the borders!
“The aristocratic families of the capital must also send out 10,000 people to reinforce the borders!”
Zavier read out the second order.
More than half of the people in the hall bowed and said respectfully, “The country’s decree is our obligation!”
“Everyone, get to work. There’s not much time left. The six chosen ones of the major entities would have reached Mount Tanish by now.”
Sawyer of the Warrior Department smiled gently.
This sentence was a warning to the powerful and aristocratic families to work hard.
Otherwise, if the six chosen ones failed to receive the nation’s fate on Mount Tanish, it wouldn’t be a good thing for the major entities.
Immediately, half of the officials in the hall left in a hurry.
However, the ministers of the twenty-four divisions all stayed.
All of them were old fellows from the various powerful families.
As for the gathering of 10,000 martial artists to reinforce the border, they just had to get some other people to do it. They did not need to personally see to it.
There were more than a hundred powerful families in the capital, and each family only needed to send a hundred people.
It was the same for the aristocratic families.
Zavier said seriously, “The third capital decree is as follows: martial arts are rising all over the world, and the number of martial artists has increased year after year. Each of the twenty-three provinces in the country will recruit 50,000 martial artists to reinforce the border. The aristocratic families of all regions must cooperate!”
The last decree was undoubtedly directed at the commissioners like Karson and Keegan Webster.
The capital decrees have been issued.
There was no room for negotiation.
All of them had to follow the orders..
