Chapter 36: Equilibrium

The news of Lima's arrival in Pokei City spread quickly, but it was basically only circulated among the middle and high-level hunters, and the name of Lima did not seem to have been heard of by the new hunters, after all, Lima came from the distant New World, and his reputation was not very open in the Old World.

There are many hunters who want to let Lima guide, but they are all rejected by Lima, his temperament is like this, withdrawn and eccentric, this is true in the New World, and it is also true in the Old World, it is precisely because of his character that his reputation is seriously affected, in terms of strength, Lima is definitely first-class, but his reputation does not match his strength.

Lima doesn't care about fame either, in Lima's eyes, only hunting and improving one's own strength are the most important things, and nothing else. The reason why he came to such a distant southern wilderness area of the old continent is because of the request of Miyata Sayasu of Chaolaw, Lima will not refuse the request of Chaolaw, he owes Chaolu too many favors, and he is a person who will know how to repay the favor, and the favor owed will definitely be repaid, but under normal circumstances, Chaolu does not need Lima's help at all, if even Chaolu can't solve it, then Lima will not have a way.

Now there is finally one thing that can be used to repay the favor, and Lima naturally came here to complete this commission. His mission this time was to help stabilize the Pokei forces and deter other forces, and Lima had no interest in anything other than commissions.

The hunters who had been deflated a few times no longer asked the level 9 hunter for advice, and since no one was interested in instructing them, why did they bother with a babbled face. It was only at the request of two people that Lima would loosen up a little, one was Simon and the other was Li Hong.

Simon and Li Hong are both from the Miyata Sayan lineage, and their strength will not be too different from Lima, and competing with these two will also have certain benefits for Lima's own strength, so Lima did not refuse. Under the competition with Lima, Simon and Li Hong have made a lot of progress, Simon once again opened the gap with Loki, which made Simon a little relieved, and Li Hong cares about this aspect, and there is also a lot of progress, the phantom behind it is basically formed, and if you go further, you can enter the next stage.

Lima rarely carries out tasks, unless it is a task that he is interested in, no one can order him to accept it, not even Li Hong, but Lima still made some contributions to the Pokai forces, during which he defeated a one-eared black wolf, a thunder wolf dragon and a black bombardment dragon, the three monsters are very difficult to gnaw, and the senior hunters of the Southern Wilderness Hunting Group can deal with it, but they also have to hunt in a team to successfully crusade.

And Lima passed over single-handedly, and he could quickly solve these three-headed monsters neatly, which also allowed the people of the Pokei forces to see the strength of the real powerhouse, and at the same time, the people of other forces also knew that there was such a hunter with top combat power in Pokei City.

"Lima? This name seems familiar, is it the 'unsuccessful' apprentice of the overlord? Philip, King of Shred, asked the 'Sword' Xiba, who had come to report. Philip wanted to know everything about Bokei City, not only because the lord of Bokei City was the young patriarch of Gloria and the new apprentice of Chaolaw, but also because of the newly rising power of Bokei.

As the king of Thured, what Philip needs is a balance, it doesn't matter how many forces there are, as long as the strength of their respective forces remains close, there is no big problem, he doesn't want a second force as high as the Ayubid family's power, which will seriously break the existing balance.

Originally, it was still quite good, but the strength of the Ayyubid family has decreased a lot after suffering losses in the last commercial war, and the various forces have returned to a delicate equilibrium, but the rise of the Bokai power makes all this seem to have the momentum of breaking the equilibrium again.

The support of the chaotic law, the Gloria family, the ambiguous attitude of Zaitsev, and the almost domination of the southern wilderness of the city of Pokei, the Pokay power, or Gloria power, is rising at a flying speed. Originally, the kingdom basically didn't dare to attack Pokei City, and now there is one more person who has something to do with the blade, so the kingdom can't use any extreme means, otherwise Philip believes that the blades of the saber will definitely complain about this.

Including Xiba, the current members of the Blades, except for Wilde and Anastasia, who have just been promoted, have all received more or less favors from Buck, and it seems that Wilde's leaders are also Buck's former best friends. In this way, once the kingdom makes a move, the blades will definitely not be able to help.

As if guessing some of Philip's thoughts, Xiba said to Philip, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about the loyalty of the blades, as long as you give the order, the blades will definitely obey the order." ā€

"It's not a question of giving orders, it's about what the Blades will think and what you will think after the mission is completed." Philip does not deny that the blades will disobey, they still don't need to worry about their loyalty to the kingdom, the question is whether the blades will do their best after accepting the task, and how much loyalty can be maintained after completing the task, "You are also human beings, and you all have thoughts and feelings, let you deal with the apprentices of your benefactor, your conscience will not be able to pass in the first place." ā€

There is another point that His Majesty did not say, the saber is not like those lackeys cultivated by the king and the great elders, even if the lackeys have thoughts, the king does not care about their thoughts and their loyalty, they are the props in the hands of the king and the great elders.

But the saber is different, the saber was established to be responsible to the entire kingdom, their mission is to protect the security of the kingdom, they are real soldiers, thoughtful, emotional, responsible, and principled. Perhaps the king can make them disobey once or twice, but in return, His Majesty cannot afford the consequences.

It is unwise to choose to maintain an equilibrium on one side and cause an imbalance on the other. What can Philip do, Philip is also desperate, and he is constrained everywhere. Their Alexander family was able to rule Shured, more because of their bloodline, they have been royalty since ancient times, but God is estimated to be out of balance, the Alexander family has never appeared a powerful hunter, and can only rely on the loyalty of outsiders to act.

Once outsiders lose their loyalty, then their royal status will only be two words, worthless.
