Chapter 991 The Fear in My Heart
Chapter 991 The Fear in My Heart
If it weren't for the empire's trust in them, the five kingdoms wouldn't have been able to stand out from the crowd.
After becoming a powerful kingdom, the first thing they did was destroy the empire, and no one could forgive such traitors.
As his close advisors withdrew, King Como XIV sat on his throne, propping his head up with his hand, lost in thought.
He always remembered the painting in the royal palace, "His Majesty the Empire Receives Congratulations from All Nations and Peoples Under Heaven".
How magnificent and majestic it was, how solemn and dignified!
Every time he saw this painting, he was constantly awestruck by the scene depicted on it.
It was precisely because of this shock that he felt a sense of fear day and night.
The empire was too powerful, and its destruction was too sudden, even too unexpected, so much so that no country or power in the world had time to prepare.
This has led to the fact that the aftermath of the empire's destruction has been delayed until today.
Everyone fears the empire, yet at the same time desires to curry favor with it and yearns for the prosperous scene depicted in the paintings.
This led to the creation of a highly distorted House of Representatives.
Now, Chen Cheng gave them a small shock from the Empire, which immediately stirred up their fear of the Empire.
The empire left behind so much, much of it has even become part of their bloodline.
Now that Chen Cheng can control the Great Wall and blockade the northern border, no one knows what else he can control, and then turn the tables on these traitors.
Just as King Como XIV was filled with fear, Smoker, the leader of the secret guards, appeared before him.
"His Majesty."
His sudden voice pulled Como XIV out of his fearful recollections.
"You've arrived. What exactly happened in the North? Why was there no prior intelligence?"
"Your Majesty, the incident happened too suddenly, and the secret guards are currently focused on that matter, so the intelligence on this matter has been delayed."
If Your Majesty requires, I can immediately send my secret guards to infiltrate the Northern Territory and obtain the latest intelligence.
Upon hearing this, King Como XIV immediately waved his hand and said:
"No, you must continue to follow up, and absolutely no mistakes can be made."
Now that the North and the Wall army are under that brat's control, this is our only chance to turn things around.
King Como XIV then thought for a moment and said:
"How is he? Take me to see him. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him."
Smoker responded with a yes, and then left the palace with King Como XIV.
After leaving the palace, Smoker wiped his face, and a new mask appeared on his face. With the appearance of the new mask, a road suddenly appeared in front of him, which had been empty.
"Your Majesty, please."
At this moment, King Como XIV stopped and said:
"I trust you, so I won't go in and disturb him. From now on, you'll stay by his side and make sure he's safe, understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Alright, I'm going back now. You stay here and don't leave."
Watching the vanished King Como XIV, Smoker sighed beneath his mask, then stepped into a non-existent path and disappeared from the world.
Not long after he disappeared, a white-robed priest flew down from the sky. His eyes gleamed with golden light. He surveyed the area for a moment, then turned back to the capital.
The priest landed in front of the church in the capital. The knights guarding the church bowed and greeted him.
"Lord God's Messenger."
Blazer nodded and then entered the church.
When the Archbishop of the Kingdom of Como saw him return, he rose and bowed, saying:
"Did you find anything, Your Excellency?"
After Blazer sat down, he shook his head and said:
"There is indeed the aura of an alien god, but the aura is too elusive to be completely certain."
The archbishop's face showed a hint of sadness upon hearing this, and he sighed, saying:
“These are truly turbulent times. First, that wicked Jamil betrayed the Church, then a heretic became a god, and now an empire has been restored in the North. The people of God are now going astray.”
Blazer frowned slightly after hearing this, and then said:
"Whether there is a war or not is not our business. We are just God's shepherds. What we need to do is guide God's people and at the same time reject the temptations of heresies from the outside world."
Clearly, Blazer's ideas differ from the mainstream thought of the church today; he is still a relatively pure propagator and operator of faith.
Upon hearing this, the archbishop quickly said:
“The divine messenger is right. I will keep the divine messenger’s teachings in mind.”
Seeing his expression, Blazer knew he hadn't listened.
He also knows what the mainstream direction of the church is now.
Although it was said to be too involved in secular affairs, it did not harm the spread of the church's faith, so even if the divine messengers had any ideas, they would not hinder the development of things.
"Alright, I need to do my homework now. You can go."
Blazer didn't want to say anything more to him, so he sent him away.
While these so-called important figures were making a big fuss about the Northern Frontier, Chen Cheng had already made all the necessary preparations to set off.
After discussing his plans for the future development of the Northern Territory with Zhixin and the others, Chen Cheng obtained several life-saving trump cards from Ye Rong and the others before preparing to head south.
However, this time it wasn't just Chen Cheng and Sheli heading south; Noah and his entire team of warriors were also there.
After these few days of contact, Noah also learned about the situation outside and that their ancestors were subordinates of Chen Cheng's ancestor.
The reason why Chen Cheng's cheap ancestor failed to deal with that demon was largely because he was afraid of their ancestors who had been captured.
After learning about Chen Cheng's current situation, Noah and the others all expressed their willingness to help him.
Therefore, Noah and the others chose to follow Chen Cheng on their journey south this time.
This is both a way to protect Chen Cheng and a trial for themselves.
Upon arriving at the pass, what stands guard here is no longer those two majestic snow-capped mountains, but a Great Wall that can never be crossed.
"Alright, you can all go back now. Don't make it sound like a life-or-death farewell. That's not a good omen."
Chen Cheng addressed Ye Rong and the others who had come to see him off.
"Your Majesty, please take care on your journey."
Chen Cheng waved his hand, then stood on the teleportation array with Noah and the others, and disappeared from Ye Rong's and the others' sight in the next moment.
With a whoosh and a thud, Chen Cheng and the others were spat out of the space like beads.
They fell to the ground, got up, and saw that they had already traveled 500 miles beyond the northern border and were now in a dense coniferous forest.
"Damn, thank goodness this random teleportation isn't too high, otherwise I could have fallen to my death right here."
Chen Cheng got up, rubbing his sore bottom from the fall.
