Kingdom Revolution (Part 2)

The northwestern part of the Erus Kingdom, home to the magic guild Blue-Winged Raptor.

Looking at the members of the magic guild crouching not far away, the adjutant asked in a low voice, "Lord Kaldiz, what should we do now?"

Kaldiz glanced at the guild leader who was constantly fawning over him, and then said, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll organize people and send them to Philiers!"

"But they..."

Kaldiz waved his hand to interrupt his adjutant, and continued, "Don't worry, if they dare to run, His Majesty the King will tear them to pieces!"

Although the adjutant didn't have much faith in Kaldiz, he was instantly relieved when he heard that His Majesty the King was watching the situation. This wasn't because he was particularly loyal to the new king, but because he had witnessed firsthand the terrifying scene of His Majesty the King dealing with the members of the Magic Council.

Therefore, he was well aware of how unfortunate and powerless it was to be targeted by His Majesty the King.

"Yes, I will arrange for men to escort these people back immediately!"

Upon hearing his adjutant's reply, Kaldiz nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then you'd better hurry, because we're about to set off for our next destination!"

Upon learning that his side was about to set off, the adjutant's eyes widened several times over for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

After processing his initial surprise, he saluted Kaldiz and then quickly left to arrange matters related to escorting the prisoners and the departure.

Philiers, Royal Palace, Council Hall

While his five fathers, seven friends, and the Sage Dragon led an army to help him conquer the Magic Guild, Old Suo was not idle. Instead, he was discussing the matter of compulsory magic education with Charlie, the newly appointed Minister of Education.

After hearing His Majesty the King's plan, Charlie said in surprise, "Your Majesty, although your decision will greatly enhance our country's magical strength, it will also bring us a huge crisis!"

"Charlie, I know what you're worried about, but don't forget, we've only opened up the learning of basic magic. Advanced magic remains in the hands of us high-ranking officials. Therefore, even if the nation's magical abilities increase significantly, we can still easily control them."

"As for the hostility and attacks from other countries, you don't need to worry about them at all, because they are simply not strong enough to stop us! Besides, we will eventually incorporate them into our territory. When that happens, a war with them will be inevitable, so there's even less reason to care about that bit of hostility!"

After Sordil finished speaking, Charlie nodded, then shook his head.

"Your His Majesty the King, the troubles we face are not only within the kingdom and among our neighboring countries, but also with that other powerful force!"

"You mean... the Magic Council? (Sordil)"

Charlie didn't answer Old Suo, but nodded silently.

"Yes! I admit, the Magic Council a tough nut to crack, but that doesn't mean it can stop us!" (Sordil)

Looking at the confidence emanating from His Majesty the King's face, Charlie was deeply attracted and then assimilated.

"Very well! Since Your His Majesty the King has such confidence, then I will do my utmost to help Your Majesty realize your grand ambition!"

Sordil smiled, patted Charlie on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry! I'll definitely show you the results of your hard work!"

"In that case, I will go and make the preparations!"

"Okay! Go ahead!"

After watching Charlie leave, Sordil turned to the waiter beside him and said, "Go and invite Silver Moon, Bill, and Tingmei here!"

Upon hearing Sordil's order, the attendant nodded, then bowed and left the hall.

A moment later, the three men, dressed in crimson robes, arrived at the council hall, led by a servant.

"Your subordinate greets your master!"

"Get up, all of you!"

Upon hearing Sordil's words, the three people who were kneeling on one knee stood up and respectfully stood in front of Sordil.

"How's your work going? (Old Suo)"

"Reporting to Master, the Silver Moon Society and Drunken Sky Snow have completed their integration, and all personnel are in place as instructed. We await only your command, and the Plum Blossom Intelligence Bureau will be ready to gather the necessary intelligence for you!" (Silver Moon)

"Good! Very good! Tingmei, how about you there? (Old Suo)"

"As per Master's requirements, I have gathered enough manpower from the black market. The Purple Guard is complete and ready for deployment at any time! (Tingmei)"

"Relying solely on manpower gathered from the black market isn't enough; we also need to train our own assassins and killers to ensure absolute safety and reliability!" (Sordil)

"Please rest assured, Master, I will train our own assassins and killers as soon as possible!" (Tingmei)

Hearing Tingmei's words, Old Suo nodded in satisfaction and said, "The Purple Guard and the Plum Blossom Intelligence Bureau are my two most prized weapons, and also my eyes and ears for observing the world. So you cannot be careless at all, otherwise, we will suffer devastating losses!"

"Thank you for your trust, Master. We will certainly live up to your expectations! (Yin, Bi, Ting)"

Sordil helped the three of them up from the ground and brushed the dust off their bodies.

"If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me immediately, and I will do my best to help you solve them! (Old Suo)"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master! (Gin, Bi)"

Just as Silver Moon and Bill were expressing their gratitude, Tingmei's eyes darted around a few times before she whispered, "Master, can I ask you to solve any problem?"

Sodir's twenty years of experience as a professional geek told Sordil that Tingmei was definitely up to something again.

Therefore, he did not agree immediately, but tentatively said, "Tell me what difficulties you have encountered, and I will see if I can help you solve them."

Although Sordil's reluctance to agree immediately disappointed Tingmei, she decided to give it a try, hoping against hope, because of a desire that had been simmering in her heart for centuries. After all, there's always a chance of something going wrong, isn't there?

"Master, I would like to take a bath with Silver Moon and Lady Irene. Can you help me with this?"

After Tingmei finished speaking, Sordil leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Tingmei, you're incredibly audacious! You actually dared to set your sights on Irene, believe me or not, I'll..."

The conversation abruptly stopped because Old Suo suddenly realized that Tingmei, this lecherous man, was a woman, and he couldn't use the threat of cutting off her manhood to threaten her.

At that moment, Old Suo realized that nothing would happen even if he handed Irene over to her. His expression gradually returned to calm, and he said indifferently, "You should discuss this with Irene and Silver Moon yourself. I can't make that decision!"

Upon hearing Old Suo's answer, Tingmei reacted as if she had ingested Sudan Red and then been injected with alpaca blood, her face flushing with excitement.

"Master, are you serious?" (Sister Ting)

Old Suo didn't say anything, but nodded, indicating that Sister Ting had guessed correctly.

"Yahoo!"

With an excited roar, Sister Ting carried Silver Moon and disappeared into the council hall, her whereabouts unknown.

Seeing this, Old Suo and Bill exchanged a glance, then exclaimed in unison, "Is this a dream?"

On August 15, X765, after half a month of conquest, all ninety-plus magic guilds within the Erus Kingdom were wiped out. Except for a few resisters who were killed, the vast majority of guild members were incorporated into the army.

After these magicians were escorted back to Philiers, Sordil carefully selected them and divided them into two groups.

Those mages with decent combat skills were assigned to various armies within the kingdom to serve as instructors, guiding soldiers in their magical studies. Those with average combat skills but broad knowledge were sent by Sordil to Charlie to serve in the upcoming compulsory magical education program.

On August 20th, numerous Magic Academy sprang up across the kingdom like mushrooms after rain. At the same time, the kingdom's latest decrees— the Compulsory Magic Education Order and the Magic Talent Selection Order —were issued to all towns and cities in the kingdom.

West City

"Um?"

Seeing a group of people gathered together in front of him, a blond boy carrying firewood on his back curiously went over to them.

Because of his short stature, the boy was unable to squeeze into the crowd, so he had to ask the 'tall person' next to him for advice.

"Hey sir, what are you all looking at together?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, the 'expert' replied absentmindedly, "We are looking at the decrees issued by the new king!"

"A new king? A decree?"

The boy's questioning tone instantly ignited the 'expert's' curiosity and sense of pride.

"Little one, you don't know that the Bosco Kingdom has a new king, do you?"

Hearing their conversation, another 'expert' chimed in, "Brother, where in this world is there any Bosco Kingdom anymore? This is the Erus Kingdom now!" (For convenience, the first expert will be referred to as Expert A, and the second expert as Expert B.)

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right, brother. There's no longer any Bosco Kingdom, only the Erus Kingdom!" (Expert A)

"Uncle, what's going on? Why has this place turned into the Erus Kingdom?" (The boy)

"This story begins more than two weeks ago. On the 20th of last month, the former king and the royal family were attacked and all were killed. After the incident, the prime minister convened a council of nobles and elected a distant cousin of the former king to succeed to the throne, who is now the king. After the new king ascended the throne, he renamed the Bosco Kingdom to the Erus Kingdom, which is why we say that the Bosco Kingdom no longer exists!" (Expert B)

"Oh! I see! So what's this new law all about? (The boy)"

"This new decree was recently issued by the new king. According to it, the new king will establish Magic Academy throughout the country and mandate that everyone in the kingdom must attend these Magic Academy to learn magic." (Expert A)

Upon hearing what the expert said, the blond boy excitedly asked, "Can everyone learn magic? Is that true?"

"That's what the law says, but we're not entirely sure about the specifics. If you're interested, you can ask the soldiers who post the laws." (Expert B)

After Gao Renyi finished speaking, the blond boy's eyes lit up. He then threw off the firewood he was carrying and ran towards a nearby alley. (Would you like to guess who this boy is?)
