After the rise of the New Blood Faction, some clans began to switch sides to this faction.
The clan gathering, held every five years, gradually became a pilgrimage event to distinguish between the "New Blood Faction" and the "Old Blood Faction.
If you go to pay your respects to the Seven Great Clans, who are the leaders of the Old Blood Faction, as soon as possible, it means that you are still on the side of the Old Blood Faction.
Conversely, if one were to visit a prominent figure in the New Blood Faction, such as the Left Chancellor Alex, it would be perceived by outsiders as siding with the New Blood Faction.
In addition, if one neither visits either side, or sends someone to visit both at the same time, then one is Neutral Faction and will not take sides.
The representative of the Neutral Faction is King Larken, the High Elder of the Night Watchers.
When discussing this person, one cannot ignore the Night Watchers.
The Night Watchers has a fixed number of one hundred members, all of whom are exceptionally talented Gendaya youths, trained from a young age. If one dies, another is replaced.
They are either honing their combat skills or practicing spiritual cultivation.
The Night Watchers is hidden in the shadows, and no one knows of this hidden force except for the successive Gendaya King and the Grand Duke of the Seven Great Clans.
Even the seven Duke only knew of the Night Watchers's Watch's existence; their true strength was known only to the King of Gendaya.
Furthermore, the seven Duke and Gendaya King are forbidden from revealing the existence of the Night Watchers, and this is bound by contracts and oaths!
This is why, for many years, no one knew of the Night Watchers's Watch's existence, and even the Dawn Empire was caught off guard by this powerful trump card.
Furthermore, every Gendaya People joins the Night Watchers enters into an equal [covenant].
In the Transcendent world, contracts are convenient, but they are not used lightly, especially among one's own people.
If you bind the other party with a contract, you must provide appropriate compensation; otherwise, it will inevitably lead to negative consequences.
The fundamental principle of equality [contract] is equivalent exchange.
An unequal contract is still essentially equal, because you must possess something to allow someone to enter into an unequal contract!
The Night Watchers hides in the shadows, silently guarding the Royal Court, unknown to outsiders, their lives accompanied only by Endless arduous training, battles, and trials.
In this situation, the compensation that the Royal Court gave to the Night Watchers was a near- Infinity supply of cultivation resources.
A mere hundred people, yet their annual expenses account for a full ten percent of the Royal Court's total revenue!
This doesn't even include the extra money they earn in various parts of the world!
Terrifying resources, a rigorous selection process for exceptional talents, life-or-death trials, and Endless arduous training have forged the Night Watchers into their formidable strength.
This is a super force that is only deployed when the Gendaya People are on the verge of extinction.
In the Battle of the Fall of the Western Capital, the Night Watchers slew over 300 enemies of Legendary or higher, including 32 Epic and 4 Demigod.
Correspondingly, of the hundred Night Watchers, only 13 survived.
A hidden sword, once unsheathed, is no longer a trump card.
So after the situation stabilized, the Royal Court announced the existence of the Night Watchers, and only then did the Gendaya People realize that such a terrifying force was silently protecting the Royal Court and them.
The Night Watchers thus became synonymous with Champion, and almost every Gendaya youth dreamed of being Night Watchers.
Since the Night Watchers has been completely exposed to the light of day, there is no point in hiding them. In addition, under the current circumstances, the Royal Court needs visible strength to deter those with ulterior motives. Therefore, the Night Watchers has been transformed into a special department, and its size has been increased from hundreds to tens of thousands of people. It is mainly responsible for intelligence, assassination and other tasks, similar to the Central Intelligence Agency of the Planet Guta or the Ninth Security Bureau of the Crimson Alliance. Its power and influence are very large.
The Grand Elder, who heads the Night Watchers, naturally becomes a very important figure in the Royal Court.
In fact, the Grand Elder's status has subtly surpassed that of the Left and Right Prime Ministers, even though he is currently the strongest figure in the Royal Court.
Mid-Rank Demigod, wielding the Scythe of Slaughter, capable of fighting head-on with High-Rank Demigod, he is arguably the mainstay of the Royal Court's current individual combat strength.
If the Night Watchers were not forbidden from coveting the throne, the First Elder, with his power, would have already been crowned king.
After all, according to the Royal Court's "Law of Succession to the Throne," the King of Gendaya is only the strongest member of the tribe, not someone whose throne is passed down through a single bloodline.
Under these circumstances, the number of clans that joined the Neutral Faction, led by the Grand Elder, was also extremely large, no less than that of the Old Blood Faction and the New Blood Faction.
The old count doesn't seem to intend to visit the Grand Duke of Silver Peak as his first stop. Could it be that he wants to join the New Blood Faction or Neutral Faction?
"What are you thinking? Our three clans have always been staunch supporters of the Old Blood Faction, and the old man has no intention of switching sides."
"Then what did you mean by what you said before? You firmly support the Old Blood Faction, so why don't you go and pay your respects to Grand Duke of Silver Peak immediately?" Logo was a little confused.
The old count glared at him and scolded him impatiently, "I told you to pay more attention to the situation at the Royal Court, but you wouldn't listen. Don't you know that before each clan chooses a side, they all go to the Heroic Spirit Monument to pay their respects?"
"The Heroic Spirit Monument? You mean..." Logo suddenly realized, and gave an embarrassed smile, "That was indeed my oversight."
The old count shook his head helplessly. "It's not your fault. You're so busy all the time, it's really hard to find time to understand these things. But you'll have to put more effort into this in the future. Politics requires not only grasping the big picture but also paying attention to details, otherwise it's easy for some people to find fault with you."
Logo nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, I understand. Don't worry."
After that, the old count gave a few more instructions, and as the Skyfish gently trembled and slowly descended, it soon landed at Eastern Capital Airport.
As you descend the gangway, a gentle breeze blows, and rows of aircraft of various shapes and sizes come into view, some private and some public. Although Eastern Capital Airport is not as impressive as the airports you saw on Planet Guta, it is still quite large.
"Let's go, let's go to the Heroic Spirit Monument first!"
The old count waved his hand, and a luxurious carriage Two-Winged Pegasus horses came from afar. The driver was an old man with white hair and beard, Eye of Gendaya on his forehead was gray-white, proclaiming his identity Gray-Eyed Blood Descendants.
"Young Master Kevin, I never expected to see you alive again." The old man's face lit up with joy upon seeing you. He jumped off the carriage and knelt on one knee before the old count.
The old count quickly pulled the old man up, looked him over, and exclaimed, "Kabo, you're still so healthy! Much better than me!"
Old Man Kabo quickly waved his hand, "How could that be? You're destined to become Legendary, I'm just an old man guarding the house, I don't have many years left to live."
The old count laughed heartily. "Alright, let's not stand on ceremony. Let me introduce you. This is Logo Campbell, an honorary count of the Royal Court court, the pride of the Red Maple Clan. Logo, this is Kabo Capel, currently in charge of managing our Red Maple Clan's ancestral property. He even held your grandfather in his arms."
"Greetings, Grandpa Kabo." Logo bowed.
"You're too kind, too kind. I've heard so much about you, your name is legendary. You truly are worthy of being His Excellency Augustus's grandson, surpassing your master in every way." Kabo took Logo's hand, his aged face beaming with joy.
After a brief chat, the group boarded the carriage. Two Two-Winged Pegasus let out a soft neigh and pulled the carriage eastward with a roar.
