Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Hidden Threat

On the third day after the defeat of the ogre king Inkutan, the square of the royal capital of Toyoya Castle resounded with strong voices of doubt and invective. However, ignoring the grievances of the people, King Kodev III of the Duchy of Basol silently returned to his palace.

As a king, he should have tried his best to avoid causing great divisions among the people, and even leading to a situation where the kingdom was divided. But what he had just announced to the people gathered in the square and to the people of the whole country would have been the trigger for this dangerous situation.

The content of his decree is that the Duchy of Basol will join the United Kingdom of All Races, which was proposed by Lord Kilgaru, the King of the Canyon Monsters, and that hunting monsters in the territory will be prohibited from today. This decision undoubtedly made it difficult for many citizens who had just become ruined by the invasion of monsters to accept, and the people were disgruntled for a while.

Although this would destroy the image of the Ming Emperor that Kodev III wanted to create, it was also a helpless decision to make such a decision at this moment. On the one hand, there are citizens who are unable to protect themselves, and on the other hand, monsters with great power, and the question of which side is more advantageous, for a person like Kodev III, who is extremely well-versed, can naturally make a quick judgment.

The day after the end of the war, when Kodev III and Lanka were organizing their forces to deal with the monster turmoil in other parts of the kingdom, the army of monsters, which was twice as large as the previous monster army, arrived outside the royal capital.

An extremely tall figure in the army of monsters, mainly centaurs and gnolls, mixed with some goblins and goatmen, caused the survivors to fall into fear. The image of the terrifying king wearing a crown and holding a magic sword and a magic shield, exuding ominous magical power, is undoubtedly the Skeleton King who appeared in the kingdom before.

Is it true that he is also one of the leaders of this monster invasion?

Everyone looked at Kilgaru.

Catering to everyone's gaze, Kilgaru landed in front of the monster army alone, and said in a somewhat surprised but rather relaxed tone, "Why are you here? ”

The group of monsters, including Skeletron, all knelt down respectfully. On behalf of the monsters, the troll Sark said, "If we let the Lord charge alone, we as subordinates will be too useless, and we also want to test the results of this period of training, so we left the canyon." After a fierce battle, we have defeated the leaders of the invading centaurs and gnolls, and we dare not make a rash decision on what to do with those who surrender, so we brought them all over. ”

"There's really nothing you can do, is anyone sacrificing?"

Kilgaru scratched his head, his tone full of concern.

"Although some people were injured, fortunately no one died because of this, which shows that everyone worked very hard during this period of training."

Sack smiled a little smugly.

Due to the distance, Kodev III was unable to hear the conversation between Kilgaru and the army of monsters, but the relationship between master and servant was evident from their behavior. It is unclear why, but it is certain that the monsters have been attached to Kilgaru.

It seemed that the skeleton monster was far more powerful than he had imagined, and Kodev III began to rejoice that he was the first to approve of Kilgaru's proposal to establish a multi-racial kingdom.

In order to further express his obedience and friendship to Kilgaru, there is a declaration that has made the people angry today.

"Prime Minister Aoseith, how's that plan going?"

When Prime Minister Orseth was the only one left in his study, Kodev III asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister has secretly converted Delnis's secret room into a research institute, and the research on the magic puppet can start in the next few days."

"Very well, this matter must not be noticed by Kilgaru, and General Lanka must also be kept secret."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's all arranged."

Prime Minister Orseth replied confidently.

"Thank you for your hard work, you have always been the person I trust and respect the most."

Kodev III bowed deeply to the old man in front of him, and this action moved the elderly prime minister to tears.

In addition to martial arts and magic, language is also a power, especially when it comes to controlling people's hearts. Knowing this since childhood, Kodev III smiled inwardly as a new chess game was about to begin.

Smof and Isafir, who had followed the army of monsters all the way to the royal capital, listened to the young king's declaration in the square, and looked at each other.

"Is it really possible to let all races live together in peace?"

Isafiel muttered quietly as if to herself, her eyes revealing a hint of longing.

"What a fool's dream, whimsical!"

Smove's tone on the side was quite cold, and at this moment he had regained the image of a hunchbacked man in a cloak.

"Wouldn't it be great if there were such a country?"

In the face of Smove's indifferent words, Isafir asked with some dissatisfaction.

"If you look at the humans around you, you will understand that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible, no matter what kind of species, they are full of fear and wariness of creatures that are different from themselves!"

Smov clenched his fists and fell into deep thought, but his eyes were filled with anger and sadness.

"Smov ......"

Isafiel took Smof's arm. Since she had been a partner for many years, she knew very well that Smov should have remembered what happened to her childhood again, and only at such times would this man with an indifferent attitude to everything show a sad expression.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I didn't expect there to be so many powerful monsters in this remote country, Skeletron is nothing now, that monster called Kilgaru may become a calamity-level danger, we have to go back and report to the captain as soon as possible."

Smuff patted Isafir's hand and said worriedly.

"This monster called Kilgaru may become the enemy of the Church in the future."

On the other side of the square, Kobot, who had also listened to the declaration, sighed in his heart.

The Holy Church of Jerka preaches the idea that human beings are superior to all other species, while what Kilgaru advocates is the equal existence of all races, and the idea of the Church can be said to be incompatible. Thinking of this, Kobot couldn't help but be glad that Mirissa was not here at the moment, otherwise a fanatic like her would not have rashly attacked Kilgaru considering the number of monsters around.

Mirissa had been asleep for two full days after using the Invisible Sword, and Fleuz stayed behind in Sivaran to protect her, so Kobot came out alone to gather information. Although Mirissa has now been approved by the holy relic, judging from Milisa's current strength, the burden of using the magic sword is still too great, and it is better not to use it until the last resort in the future.

"I used the magic crystal to ask the church for help two days ago, and it's time for the ship to arrive at the port. It seems that when I go back, I will have to write a report to explain the situation here to His Holiness the Pope. ”

Kobot looked at the pocket watch in his pocket, then pushed through the crowd and walked briskly out of the city.
