Dark clouds cover the sky, and a heavy rain is coming.
The weather in Port King is as fickle as ever. The sun is shining one moment, and it’s pouring rain the next.
In the study room of the palace on the sea cliff, Wood VI stood by the huge glass window, holding a wine glass in his hand, quietly listening to the thunder outside the window.
This rain should have started long ago.
Most people like the sun because it brings light and heat, gives hope and warmth to life, and at the same time makes pollution invisible.
But long hours of sunshine can make people lazy, and a consistently warm and pleasant climate cannot breed flowers that are not afraid of frost.
Just like the current situation in King Port.
The good geographical location and comfortable life have made King's Harbor immersed in false peace from top to bottom. Everyone has forgotten that the world they live in is still in crisis and war.
The nobles are obsessed with amassing wealth, and the people are not interested in making progress.
Everyone would rather hold gold coins than swords.
But someone must hold the sword!
It's time for a heavy rain like that outside the window to clean up the lethargic atmosphere in the country!
As long as his plan goes smoothly, King's Harbor tomorrow will be reborn after the experience of heavy rain!
But...can everything really go so smoothly?
Wood VI picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the crystal-clear wine in the glass, then turned around and put the wine glass back on the desk.
"How, how does he reply?"
"Your Majesty, he did not reply immediately..." In front of the desk, the Minister of Military Affairs, wearing a three-color silk robe, stood solemnly and briefly recounted what happened when he sent the letter.
"Norman...Joshua family..." Wood VI lowered his eyes, and there was no emotion on his face.
He already knew that his reform plan would never be supported by the Joshua family, which held a lot of interests in their hands, but he did not expect that the other party would declare his position so blatantly...
After pondering for a long time, Wood VI raised his face and looked at Marcy: "I suddenly regret it now Marcy. Maybe I should allow you to investigate the residences of those 'nobles'..."
"..." Marcy didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Now there was only one day left before the Harvest Festival. Even if the king signed the permission order at this time, they would not have time to conduct a search.
"It's my fault, I was too forward-thinking..."
Wood VI sighed: "The Joshua family is so eager to express its position. I'm afraid the trump card in its hands is far from as simple as we imagined..."
"...How is the investigation of the 'True God Cult' going?"
"It's not going well, Your Majesty. Those guys seem to have an evil ability that can disappear anytime and anywhere. Our people can't find any trace of their activities in the kingdom..."
Marcy lowered his head in shame.
"It's not your fault. If they could be picked out so easily, the Kingdom of Kegistan across the coast wouldn't be in such chaos now..."
Wood VI seemed to have expected it and shook his head.
What happened in the desert kingdom across the Nobile Sea has already spread throughout the first world.
Hakan II was assassinated by a carefully disguised True God cultist, and he is still in a coma.
The entire kingdom was in turmoil, and all the trees and grass were at war. Every large and medium-sized town was crowded with refugees who had left their homes.
The cultists of the True God Sect attack small villages and other poorly defended settlements everywhere. Every time they succeed, they will kill everyone in the village and town, and then mysteriously disappear without a trace before large forces arrive to encircle and suppress them.
These cultists obviously have a very strong ability to conceal their whereabouts, and even the one he was eager to win over failed to completely eradicate this cult organization in Kejistan.
It is reasonable that Marcy cannot find any trace of them.
But having said that, Wood VI now had to pay attention to the investigation report submitted by Marcy earlier, which mentioned rumors that the Noble Faction and the True God Religion seemed to have contact.
At first, King Wood VI did not believe that the important ministers in the kingdom would be so unwise as to bring these cultists who seemed to be in collusion with hell into their domestic disputes.
This is a taboo, and it is also an unforgivable sin that leads to hell!
Once the incident comes to light, the parliament will definitely eradicate them completely with thunderous means!
However, now, faced with the seemingly confident actions of the Joshua family, Wood VI had to face this possibility again.
He knows that if a person is forced into a desperate situation, he can do anything.
Now the Margery and Joshua families are almost forced into a desperate situation.
Therefore, he must guard against the possibility that they will jump over the wall and even sell their souls to cooperate with hell in order to bring him down.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the corner of the room, where there was a figure wearing a blue-gray robe, standing silently in the shadows.
Seeing this figure, Wood VI felt a little at ease.
After all, they also have two legendary strong men on their side, while their opponent only has one Anthony.
As long as that person does not join the other party's camp, he will have the confidence to control the situation no matter what!
Wood VI picked up the wine glass on the table and took another sip. The sweet and fragrant wine flowed into his throat, refreshing him like a stream of ice.
"Ma Xiqing."
"I am here, Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"The security work on the day of the festival must be arranged well, and no one can take advantage of it!"
"I understand. Don't worry. I have deployed most of the forces of the Shining Aegis Legion near the venue of the ceremony. At the same time, my family ancestors have also promised to be there to watch the ceremony. Even if the Joshua family member comes in person,
, under the double suppression of Jiazu and Lord Angel, I believe he would not dare to act recklessly."
"Ah That's good..."
"By the way, is there any recent news from the parliamentary delegation and Mr. Kane?"
Wood VI nodded, and then suddenly continued to ask as if he had thought of something.
"Mr. Kane and the envoys from the Parliament have been staying at the station since they met with us and other noble families. I heard that they are also investigating the True God Cult... But that gentleman also lives with them.
Together..."
"Well, this is normal. The relationship between the two has always been very good. I heard that it was the one who rescued Mr. Kane from Leoric's clutches..."
"Well... there is one more thing, which is about the two Amazons following the Lord... The news that came from Harrogas before... I'm afraid it is true...
.”
When mentioning this matter, Marcy also had a look of envy and surprise on his face.
"News from Harrogas?" Wood VI was stunned at first, and then his expression suddenly became exciting.
"You mean those two... two ladies have also advanced to legend?!"
"Yes, when I went to send the invitation letter, the two ladies happened to be present. As far as my perception is concerned, it should be correct..."
"...Three legends...if we add Mr. Kane...hehe, this is really a power that can shake the world!"
Wood VI smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The only legendary powerhouse around him was hired from outside at a great cost, and now there are four legendary experts gathered in a small envoy station.
