There is no doubt that the all-out war that broke out between Allen and Great Tomb of Nazarick had a profound impact on the world.
Not only did it make everyone realize that there is a huge threat around them, but it also completely established the status of the Hunter Association in human countries and societies.
After all, the scene of hundreds of thousands of level monsters, Alien Race and Undead Army besieging Ye Lan Tyr, and the fact that the opponent's High-end combat power could easily use the astonishingly destructive tenth level, and even Super Tier Magic, were not made up out of thin air, but were witnessed by countless civilians, soldiers and adventurers.
Coupled with the terrifying slashes caused by "Blade of a Hundred Million" tearing apart the sky and the earth, and the Deep Pit formed after Nuclear Blast, there is no doubt that those in power are not reminded of how fragile and ridiculous the country and rule they established is.
When the Kingdom army arrived at Dae·Lan Tyr, old King did not even have the courage to enter the city and discuss with Allen face to face the issue of ownership of this land.
He even dared not ask the soldiers stationed in the city to join the Kingdom army as before, and strictly ordered his nobles not to harass surrounding villages and passing merchants.
Although many arrogant nobles were quite dissatisfied with this, under the strong pressure of Marquis Raven and Warrior Chief, the Kingdom army, which had never been easy to manage, was very rare and maintained strict military discipline.
Similarly, the Empire army, which plundered and burned border villages every autumn, has transformed into a benevolent army, paying villagers even for a drink of water.
Instead of bringing pain and disaster to the people living on this land, both sides of the upcoming war have greatly stimulated the economy through consumption.
Such a magical scene was not due to a discovery of their conscience or a sudden increase in moral standards.
Instead, the Hunter Association headquarters of Tyr, Tyr, and Allen, the founder of the Hunter Association, stand like a sharp "Sword of Damocles" hanging in the air, frightening two human countries with quite large land areas.
Anyone who has some sense will not take any chances after hearing the descriptions of local residents.
But there are exceptions to everything!
Especially the human race, there will never be a shortage of fools and idiots at any time.
For example, Prince Barubulow, who has only grown muscles since he was a child and has not developed much brains, is pointing in the direction of Ye Lan Tyr in the military camp's big meeting tent, shouting loudly, "Father! Why! Why don't we enter the city? Isn't that Kingdom's territory? Or are you afraid of something!"
"That's right! Hunter Association's massacre of nobles cannot just be forgotten! They must pay for their actions! The price of blood!" Another young noble also stood up and echoed loudly.
This guy is none other than Philip, who was called "humanity's strongest little trickster" in the original plot.
As the third son without inheritance rights, he was not in the territory when "Night of Bloodshed" broke out. Instead, he ran to the nearest pub and drank so much that he forgot who he was, thus escaping the disaster.
Later, when he returned home, he found that his father, brother and mother had all died on the spot, and he somehow became the sole heir to the territory and property.
Regarding this kind of good thing that comes from the sky, "big filial son" Philip said it would be better to have more.
Maybe it was prayer that had an effect, or maybe it was the blessing of fate Goddess.
In the next few days, he received news one after another that various relatives and entire families had been exterminated, and he happened to be the sole heir to a large tract of unclaimed territory by virtue of his family's hundreds of years of marriage.
As a result, Philip, who has no ability and has not received any elite education, has suddenly become one of the nobles with the largest territory of the Kingdom, even ranking above the established nobles like Marquis Raven.
From then on, he called himself the "Chosen One" and began to pursue Princess Lana crazily.
Not only did he want to win the beauty back, he also tried to get his hands on the throne in this way.
And Clem, who was humiliated again and again and followed Lana, jumped crazily and repeatedly on the edge of death.
Not only that, politically, he also stood clearly by the side of Big Prince, who no longer had anyone's support, and reached an agreement with him in private.
As long as Barubulow ascends the throne, he will marry Golden Princess and support Philip's claim to several other unclaimed territories.
As the saying goes, one idiot is not terrible, what is terrible is two idiots coming together.
Because the eldest Prince has the first line of succession, and Philip controls a large territory, he has become a very valuable target in the eyes of other nobles.
Ever since, under the praise of a group of guys with evil intentions, these two guys actually thought that they were the saviors of the entire country.
Seeing this "dream pair" talking nonsense in the parliament, Artoria, who came to watch the war as an illegitimate child, sighed helplessly.
She really couldn't figure out how these two guys' brain circuits were so advanced that after learning about the terrifying strength of the Hunter Association, they still felt that they could force the other party to succumb to the rule of the Kingdom by relying on the number and power of the army.
Is it true, as Allen said, that being a nobleman for a long time will affect the intellectual development of himself and even his descendants?
"How about, my dear brother, you also think our Eldest Brother is a fool, right?" Er Prince Zanac sneered in a low voice, holding out his belly. "If the throne falls in his hands, I'm afraid this country will really be doomed."
"Do you think you can solve Kingdom's current problem?"
Saber glanced at this cheap brother who still had some brains.
"Hey! I don't know if I can solve the problem, but at least it won't be worse than it is now. This routine battle with the Empire is an opportunity for me who lacks military merit. As long as you are willing to stand by my side and help me obtain If you achieve some results, I promise that after I take the throne, I will officially recognize your identity as Prince and grant you the same rights and status as Warrior Chief Gedō."
Zanac laid out the conditions without haste, trying to win over the illegitimate son whom his father loved most.
During the march, he had seen Artoria's outstanding talents in managing and leading the army. Coupled with his strong personal strength, he was simply a powerful arm given to him by God.
Especially after witnessing with his own eyes how the nobles coerced the royal family and brought the entire country into chaos, this little fat man realized the importance of strengthening the royal power.
Therefore, in his plan, except for a very small number of nobles such as Marquis Raven who firmly stood by the royal family, the rest were all targets that needed to be divided and suppressed.
He planned to give his sister Lana more rights to resolve the increasingly acute internal conflicts in the country, and the younger brother "Arthur" in front of him could become a very good military commander. One of them, along with the warrior captain Gazef, would be responsible for suppressing internal rebellions, while the other would be responsible for conquering external enemies.
I have to say that in this world where productivity and politics are relatively backward, Zanac is indeed a relatively good ruler.
But in the eyes of Artoria, who has learned a lot of modern knowledge, it is still too "mediocre" and cannot lead Kingdom, who is already stuck in the quagmire, out of the predicament.
In the end, she just turned around and walked out of the noisy tent without saying a word.
Looking at the slightly short back of Saber, the second Prince immediately smiled and laughed at himself, "Is he another monster like Lana? Fortunately, he is just an illegitimate child, otherwise I, as a mortal, would never have the chance to touch the throne."
"Your Highness, please be careful in your words and deeds. You must know that Kingdom can no longer withstand any hardship." Marquis Raven lowered his voice to remind.
Zanac shrugged nonchalantly. "Don't worry, of course I know about this. And unlike Eldest Brother, I will not regard the other party as an enemy just because they do not support me. Whether it is Lana or Arthur, as long as they are willing to contribute to the country, I will give them the corresponding rights and status. Because this is the most basic consideration for a king."
At the same time, outside the tent, Blonde Girl dressed as a maid quickly ran to Artoria and asked with concern, "Your Highness, did the meeting go well?"
"Meeting? Ah! It doesn't matter what happens to that thing. I have no say at all anyway. Also, please don't call me Your Highness. My identity is just an insignificant illegitimate child, nothing more." Saber replied expressionlessly.
"No! In my eyes, you will always be the most noble His Highness Prince. Without you, I'm afraid I would be sold to a brothel run by Eight Fingers and live a life worse than death all day long."
When she said these words, the girl's eyes shone with naked and unabashed admiration, adoration and love.
You know without asking that she is the girl who was rescued from the street some time ago, her name is Chiare Nina Bellon.
"Eight Fingers..."
At the mention of this huge criminal organization covering the entire Kingdom, Artoria subconsciously clenched his fists.
It was precisely because she had witnessed countless families being torn apart by these bastards that she decided to cooperate with Princess Lana's plan and endured it until now.
Otherwise, with her insistence on fairness and justice in her heart, she would have drawn out her sword and killed them all.
"Your Highness, come and drink some water. I heard from the local residents who came here to sell things just now that Empire's army has arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield, and it is estimated that a war will break out soon. I'm afraid many people will die by then, so you must be more careful." Chiare said while handing over the kettle in his hand.
This was sweet spring water that she specially sent people to collect from distant mountains. It was completely different from the river water that the soldiers drank.
No matter what, Saber is now the illegitimate son recognized by King, with the most noble blood of the royal family flowing in his body.
Therefore, as her own personal maid, Chiare will enjoy some privileges.
But equally, there will inevitably be comments and ridicule behind the scenes.
"Don't worry! I'm not that weak."
Artoria happened to be a little thirsty, so he took it and immediately raised his head and drank it all.
Crystal clear water droplets slid down from the corners of his mouth, soaking the white shirt inside.
This scene immediately made Chiare's face flush, his heart beat faster, and he was so happy that he almost fainted.
She may never know that the handsome Prince she admires is actually a woman like herself.
In this regard, "My King" has played a great role in A's chest.
Especially when she put on the armor, even the last feature that could prove her gender disappeared without a trace, and her whole body was filled with something called heroic spirit.
On the other side, in the emperor's exclusive tent in the Empire camp, Bloody Emperor was in a much more relaxed state, and even asked his subordinates half-jokingly, "Have you decided who will challenge Kingdom Warrior Commander Gedō? And who will cooperate with the future King Arthur to put on a good show?"
"Your Majesty! Warrior Chief Gedō Please leave it to me to deal with him. You know, I wanted to fight him head-on a long time ago."
One of the Four Knights of the Empire, "Gale" Nippur, took the initiative to challenge.
Because he had participated in several large-scale military operations against Alien Race and monsters in the territory before, he now had a Warrior professional level of fifty-four, and had also initially mastered the skills of using Life Energy, and was confident enough to defeat the opponent easily.
In contrast, no one was willing to stand up for the drudgery of acting with Artoria.
After all, Empire's top management basically already knew that this girl who had infiltrated Kingdom was actually one of the only companions of the Hunter Association Chairman Allen.
Its powerful strength may have already exceeded the limit of everyone's imagination, and it may overturn and make a fool of itself.
Bloody Emperor undoubtedly noticed this, sighed helplessly, and directly called out, "Renas! I'll leave this matter to you, okay?"
"Okay! But if I feel danger, I will immediately retreat without hesitation. Then don't blame me for losing Empire's face." Renas fiddled with his long golden hair to get vaccinated in advance.
"No problem! No matter what the outcome is, I will accept it calmly. After all, you are facing a wild beast in harmless sheep's clothing. I have no doubt that King Arthur is capable of killing us all with just one person." Bloody Emperor shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Just a few hours ago, he had just met with High Priest from Theocracy, as well as several top combatants from Black Sacred Canon, and understood what exactly happened in Yelan Tyr two days ago.
At present, he has fully accepted the fact that Allen and Hunter Association are above him.
What's more, the other party has no intention of interfering in the Empire's internal affairs or annexing Empire. It also supports Empire's active expansion outwards, seizes the land from Alien Race and monsters, and expands the living space for the entire human race.
Next, what he has to do is to hug this thick thigh and strive for the best interests for himself and the country.
As for the life and death of the nobles and royal family at the Kingdom, what does it have to do with the Empire!
