The Evernight Goddess requests your presence
Kronos easily entered the Sonia Sea Base and met Marquis Argel in the office building.
Kronos's sudden appearance really startled Marquis Argel.
At this time, the relationship between the Augustus Family and Argel Family had reached a freezing point, so it wouldn't be surprising if they sent someone to assassinate them.
After seeing the man's face clearly, the Marquis Argel was relieved; surely his son couldn't have come to assassinate him.
Marquis Argel quickly walked up to Kronos and excitedly asked, "You've been promoted to Sequence One?"
Kronos nodded and said, "Yes, the Knowledge Emperor of Sequence One."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Argel was extremely excited.
The Argel Family truly rose to prominence in this generation.
Seeing his father's excited expression, Kronos was also delighted.
His desire for the Argel Family to prosper was primarily to fulfill his father's dream. For Kronos himself, the fate of his family was not that important; as long as he was strong enough, that was enough.
Next, Kronos learned in detail about the current situation from Marquis Argel.
After this battle, the entire navy of the Loen Kingdom was captured by them.
As for the Army, the Army in the Amanda Mountains should already be under the control of the Church of Evernight.
The army defending the Republic of Intis and the Feynapotter Kingdom is currently in the hands of the Royal Family, but some of the officers are members of the Negan, so their movements can be monitored at all times.
The Negan's influence is truly unparalleled, having permeated every aspect of the country.
From this perspective, the advantage is entirely in their hands; the Augustus Family is no match for them.
However, the Marquis Argel said, "Recently, William Augustus, the ' Founder of the Nation,' has been making public appearances in private, perhaps to deter restless forces within the country."
"This is a Sequence One who has been advancing for nearly two thousand years; their strength should not be underestimated. Therefore, we need to reconsider our plans."
Upon hearing this, Kronos's expression became somewhat strange.
William Augustus, wasn't he already dead in the Sanguine Ancestral Hall? Kronos witnessed his outstanding contributions to the Resurrection of His Night Emperor, so how could he be in the Augustus Family?
Could it be that Trunsoest is also up to something, harboring other intentions towards the Loen Kingdom?
If that were the case, Kronos really didn't think he could beat him.
The Sanguine are currently in a class of their own in this world. The two Sequence One, although not in great condition, are still not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, given William Augustus's legitimate status, he was naturally in a more convenient position Kronos.
After a moment's thought, Kronos said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll go and discuss it with another ally to see how we should handle it."
The so-called other allies are naturally the Sanguine; we should at least listen to their ideas.
After listening, Marquis Argel nodded. He knew that his son couldn't possibly have only a few allies, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with the Augustus Family.
Kronos continued, "I'll go now, and I'll come back to see Mother and Annie tonight."
It's just a trip to the Sanguine; it shouldn't take too long.
After giving his instructions, Kronos left the Sonia Sea Base and headed to the Sanguine Gathering Place in the Amanda Mountains.
Upon entering the settlement, Kronos found it much quieter than before.
It is clear that the Sanguine are gradually relocating their members to other areas.
Lilith secured more benefits for the Sanguine, allowing Sanguine to live peacefully in Loen and eliminating the need for them to remain in the deep mountains and forests.
However, since the Ancestral Hall still stands here, the Executives members of the Sanguine have naturally not left.
When Kronos arrived at the Ancestral Hall, he was greeted by Sanguine Marquis.
An Archangel entered this place; if it hadn't been discovered, the Sanguine would have been wiped out long ago.
The Marquis led Kronos into the Ancestral Hall, where Kronos saw Olnia and Olmer.
After scanning Kronos with her gaze, Olnia said, "Congratulations, Kronos, you have successfully ascended to the position of Knowledge Emperor."
Olmer's intended words of small talk were immediately cut short.
What? Kronos has become the Knowledge Emperor? How long has it been? He's already surpassed me?
Olmer has practically watched Kronos get to where he is today, and he's helped him a lot.
Back then, I really didn't expect that Kronos would be able to advance so triumphantly to this point.
Kronos smiled and said, "This is all thanks to your help back then, otherwise I would have been dead long ago."
Without exchanging many pleasantries, Kronos got straight to the point, wanting to ask if the William currently in the Augustus Family was Trunsoest.
Olnia knew that once Kronos returned, he would begin his plot against the Loen regime, so his visit must have been for that purpose.
Therefore, Olnia spoke up, "That is indeed Trunsoest, but we have no designs on the country of Loen. We simply want to use the resources of the Augustus Family to restore Trunsoest to its former state."
"If you're willing, he can help you reform the system as the Founder of the Nation. In exchange, the Sanguine want a legitimate identity."
In fact, the conditions proposed by Olnia were no problem for Kronos, because he didn't care at all.
However, the open appearance of Sanguine in the world can easily cause public panic.
Therefore, Kronos asked, "Do you want Sanguine to appear before ordinary people?"
When Kronos asked that question, Olnia knew he had misunderstood.
"No, what I mean is, it's enough that all Sanguine can legally have an identity within the Loen Kingdom."
Don't be fooled by the fact that many Sanguine now live in Backlund; these Sanguine are all easily exposed and cannot withstand scrutiny. They are all either using False Identity or have no identities at all.
It's just that the technology of that era wasn't advanced enough, which is why it wasn't discovered.
Therefore, Olnia's meaning is that if Sanguine can have identities and become qualified citizens of Loen, then there is no problem at all.
After Kronos agreed, Olnia said directly, "Trunsoest can help you suppress the Angel of the Augustus Family; the coup is up to you."
"At that time, he can take the lead in accepting the outcome of the coup. As long as there is no usurpation and the throne is left to the Augustus Family, everything else is negotiable."
Olnia knew what Kronos wanted and what it would be easiest to achieve, so she guessed Kronos's plan right away.
All we need to do is sideline the Augustus Family and put all the power in the hands of the Parliament.
At that time, the Argel Family, Negan, and Levett Family will regain control of the Parliament.
Finally, because of the existence of Kronos, the Negan and Levett Family dared not defy the Argel Family, and the Argel Family indirectly controlled Loen, and not in a very high-profile way.
Kronos and Olnia easily reached an agreement, and the plan could then be implemented.
Having finished their discussion, Kronos left the area and returned to the Midseashire.
The Marquise and Little Annie were delighted by Kronos's return.
The next day, after discussing the plan with the Marquis Argel, Kronos left Midseashire once again to find two more allies.
Philip's Royal Navy Base was the closest to Backlund, so they should have been the main force behind this coup.
After this war, Philip was promoted to Admiral and officially took command of the Royal Navy.
All they need to do is send troops from Pritz Harbor and head straight for Backlund.
While the Sonia Sea Fleet couldn't reach Backlund, Marquis Argel had recruited a considerable number of the Army who could use the family's transport routes to go directly to Backlund.
As for the Sonia Fleet under Amyrius's control, it is sufficient for it to remain in Pritz Harbor as a deterrent.
After discussion, Philip and Amyrius agreed to Kronos's plan and began preparations.
Three days later, the Marquis Argel, leading the Army of the Sonia Sea, headed straight for Backlund aboard the Argel Family's own Steam Train.
Meanwhile, Philip also mobilized the troops at the Royal Navy Base.
Although the soldiers here are all from the navy, they are absolutely no less capable than the most elite Army on land.
If taxi troops can fight on the turbulent sea, their combat strength on land will naturally not be lacking either.
After assembling, they set off for Backlund.
Meanwhile, Amyrius departed from Bayam, leading the entire Sonia Fleet toward Pritz Harbor.
In fact, MI9 had already been keeping an eye on the Sonia Sea, Pritz Harbor, and Bayam for some time.
However, these Message never reached anyone else's ears because Trunsoest, in William's name, directly intercepted them.
For MI9, serving Gawinton was definitely not as good as serving William.
Therefore, they handed over all relevant intelligence directly to Trunsoest.
Trunsoest only glanced at it briefly before destroying the intelligence.
Although Gawinton was very worried about the situation of the three families, he did not think they would launch a coup at this time, after all, his family still had Angel and Archangel.
These three families simply do not possess such high-level power, therefore they lack the conditions for a coup.
In Gawinton's view, these three families should choose to gradually undermine the king's power and allow their own influence to grow. In that case, even if the Augustus Family wanted to wipe them out, they would have to consider the impact on the country.
However, what he didn't know was that the people from the Royal Navy Base had already moved into the various Manor of the Negan near Backlund.
They were just waiting for everything to be ready before sounding the call for a coup.
Two days later, Marquis Argel and Kronos led their Intersea Army to Backlund.
Most of them disembarked outside the city and temporarily stayed at the Argel Family's Manor.
The very few remaining people followed Kronos into Backlund.
These individuals were Beyonder specifically recruited by the Marquis Argel to carry out challenging missions.
Their role this time is to coordinate an attack from within and without.
Backlund still has a considerable garrison; if they manage to close the city gates, this coup will not be so easy to carry out.
Even though they entered Backlund through the Argel Family's Transportation Route, they were still subject to very strict scrutiny.
Fortunately, there were only two or three hundred people, so it didn't attract much attention.
After entering Backlund, they dispersed throughout the city, waiting for the Siege Signal so they could seize control of the city gates.
As for Kronos, he went to the Saint Samuel Cathedral.
To stage a successful coup, the power of the church must be taken into account.
The Royal Family is a partner of the Church of Storms, so there's a high chance the Church of Storms will intervene.
There must be a force capable of restraining the Church of Storms, and the Church of Evernight is naturally the best choice.
The moment Kronos stepped into the Saint Samuel Cathedral, he felt Amanises's gaze.
After advancing to the Sequence One, he removed the mark from his arm, so Amanises could no longer see him all the time.
But once you've entered someone else's territory, there's no hiding place anymore.
Amanises did not directly summon Kronos to the Darkened Heaven; he simply watched him.
The rift between them had made it impossible for Kronos to trust her, so he had to be more careful in his actions.
Kronos went directly to Archbishop Anthony and explained his idea.
Archbishop Anthony knew that Kronos was one of his own, but this request clearly did not come from the Evernight Goddess or Arianna.
Just as Anthony was pondering how to refuse Kronos, Lady Arianna appeared in the room.
Upon seeing Lady Arianna, Anthony quickly stepped forward to bow, but he noticed that Kronos did not move at all.
Then he saw something that surprised him.
Lady Arianna stepped forward and bowed to Kronos.
Offering a bow is something that usually happens between subordinates and superiors, but isn't Kronos Nighthawks under Lady Arianna?
Clearly, Arianna knew that Kronos was now Archangel, and it was perfectly reasonable for Angel to bow to Archangel.
Therefore, Kronos did not dodge and simply accepted the gift.
After bowing, Lady Arianna continued, "Mr. Kronos, the Evernight Goddess requests your presence."
