Chapter 921: The Alliance Collapses
"Wow—" Before the crowd could react, Chino suddenly pressed the back of Dagon's head and pressed his face into a basin filled with water.
Something terrible happened, after Dagon Chief's body was drenched, his body did not react to any struggle, and he remained motionless like a puppet at the mercy of him.
If you look closely, you will find that his whole body is full of ripples formed by the power of thought, surging like a tide in layers, and the crushing force directly clamps his whole body, and even the most basic tremors are suppressed.
The only thing that wasn't locked by the telekinetics was his throat and chest, and Chino had deliberately left room for him to breathe, but the life-sustaining passage had been completely submerged by the water.
The banquet hall was as dead as a grave, except for the frightened breathing of the two royal leaders, all that remained was the sound of bubbles gurgling in the basin of water.
To become the leader of the king, in addition to having a strong background, connections, and brains, he must also have unparalleled strength.
The reason why Dagon Leader can become the head of the clan shows that there is no one strongest in the clan.
However, even such a handful of extraordinary people in the whole kingdom, in the face of Chino, who has reaped endless fear in the war, is also as fragile as a puppy, and even the qualification to breathe is easily deprived.
Chino pressed Dagon's head, the surging thoughts swept like a huge wave, but his tone was as relaxed and witty as a joke: "You know what? Waterboarding is a classic method of processing, and I have talked to people who have been waterboarded, and they told me a very interesting thing-"
"When you are immersed in water, because of the primitive survival instinct, you will feel panic, fear, trembling, the whole person is restless under the soaring blood pressure and adrenaline, and you are tortured by the feeling of suffocation."
"But if you suppress your instinctive desire to survive, relax your body, let the water rush into your lungs, and embrace that feeling of being filled. You will find that there is a wonderful pleasure filling the whole body, as if you are in heaven~"
Outsiders have no way of knowing whether the Dagon leader is now perceiving the former or the latter, and in the face of an irresistible force, he himself cannot save himself, and the other two leaders dare not save each other.
In the end, they could only watch as the bubbles bubbled out of the basin became less and less, less and less, until they disappeared completely.
When Chino lifted Dagon's head again, the suffocating face was so blue that it was distorted into any words to describe it, like a nightmare.
This son of the sea, who had lived on a warship since his birth and was accompanied by the vast ocean, drowned in a small basin.
Chino let go of his hand, allowing the corpse of Dagon to fall to the ground.
The hearts of the two kings were completely cold, this was not a madman, but a mad dog, a mad dog who took pleasure in killing and cruelty.
Chino sat back in his seat and took a sip of tea gracefully, as if he had just had fun, before he took out his communicator and said slowly, "Niko, let that lucky guy in." ”
Soon, the door to the banquet hall opened, and a humble figure walked in.
The two kings knew each other, and he was a high-ranking member of the Dagon family, with extensive political resources and connections, and was one of the most influential figures in Dogurand politics.
Chino pointed to the place where the head of Dagon was originally sitting, smiled at the comer, and said, "Congratulations, from today onwards, you will be the head of the Dagon family." ”
"You must also know the tragedy of the Troy family, there are many vacancies in the parliamentary seats, and you will choose someone to fill them, you can just look at the pick, and you don't need to ask me for instructions to fill the list."
When the visitor saw the corpse of the leader of Dagon, he did not show any astonishment, but saluted Chino respectfully: "In the future, I would like to listen to the Lord Regent's dispatch and serve Her Majesty the Queen, and I will not hesitate to do so!" ”
After he finished speaking, he sat directly on the position of the head of the Grand Duke, took out the pen and seal in his arms, and without even reading the terms and conditions of the contract, he directly turned the page and signed, stamped the seal, and respectfully presented it to Chino with both hands.
This scene finally made the two kings realize the fact of despair.
They had forced the palace with Adam before, and their confidence only lay in one thing - an offensive and defensive alliance.
The four major families have become a community of interests, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the same advances and retreats.
For the monarch with an unstable foundation and no one to use, this offensive and defensive alliance is an unsolvable situation, and any slight movement will offend the ministers, and then trigger an incident similar to the collective resignation and forced palace.
At that time, there are only two paths in front of the monarch, or just rot and let the whole kingdom stop and go to ruin. Either they surrender to the crowd and recognize their dominance, and do only as a symbol themselves, not in real power.
With Solandelle's character, it is impossible to be rotten, and the ministers decide that the only way for her is to give in.
However, Jashan and the others did not realize that after the fall of the Trojan family, the offensive and defensive alliance between the ministers had quietly collapsed.
Chino destroyed the storm and told everyone with practical actions that I dare to do anything, and I can do anything.
In the face of life and death, the major families have long been divided.
Some people are die-hards, and they will fight to the end no matter what, regardless of whether they will die or their families will be destroyed.
Some people are wall-ridden factions, their positions are no longer firm, they are wavering and seeing the wind make the rudder, and they will help whoever has the upper hand next.
There are also people who choose to compromise, secretly contacting Chino early on, reaching an agreement with him, and selling collective interests in exchange for personal future.
With such internal divisions, it becomes a joke to advance and retreat together, and what Chino has to do is to pull a faction, fight a faction, support those who fall to him, and kill those who are stubborn.
Originally, if the four major families could really work together to fight Chino to the death, advance and retreat together, he really had no choice, he couldn't kill everyone, and so many Gulanders would not exist.
However, there are almost no absolutely rational people in the world, and it is even more difficult to have an absolutely rational collective, and the fall of the Trojan family is destined to have many people change their positions and betray the collective for their own safety, which is the characteristic of human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Those compromisers fell to Chino, and the dilemma of "no one is available" naturally ceased to exist, killing the vacated positions of a group of ministers, and many of their subordinates squeezed their heads to get to the top.
To put it mildly, Chino can still invite the three leaders to the banquet hall today, put refreshments on the table, and invite them to talk generously, which is really enough to save face.
I don't know how many people like this "new Dagon leader" are eager to see through and take great pains to line up to be a dog for Chino.
Jashan and the others thought that the plan to force the palace was impeccable, but they had already been played by the devil.
In the end, the eyes of Jashan and Erik were completely lost, and there was no thought of resistance, so they silently opened the contract in front of them and signed their names on it.
