Chapter 42

"The King of Royas …" Chris remained silent. The affairs of a country could never be defined as righteous or evil.

If Royas and the Interkam Kingdom really went to war, then in the eyes of the Interkam citizens, the people of the Kingdom of Royas would undoubtedly be evil. But were the people of the Kingdom of Royas truly evil?

Simply using righteous or evil to define a large group of people would be biased. The so-called righteous or evil was only in accordance with the public morality of the people. If it complied, then it would be righteous, if it didn't, then it would be evil.

For this reason, there were some things that were hard to define. Sometimes, there was no need to think too much about it, as long as something complied with one's own morality, it would be fine.

"As for His Majesty Eldridge, I won't comment" Chris slowly said.

Although a country couldn't be simply judged as righteous or evil, from a personal point of view, Chris was more inclined towards the Interkam Kingdom. On one hand, the Interkam Kingdom was a multiracial kingdom, while the Kingdom of Royas was dominated by Royas citizens, which was a place of severe racial discrimination.

Especially after the incident with the Great Thief Ika Alisa, the majority of Royas people treated other races with the attitude of a lowly race.

On the other hand, the Kingdom of Royas, under the leadership of His Majesty Eldridge, who was known as the greatest ruler of Royas in the last thousand years, was filled with aggressiveness. They invaded for the sake of their country's expansion. In their own country, it could be said that they were expanding their territory, but for the civilians, war had always been painful.

For this reason, although Chris wouldn't call the other side evil and would eliminate them, his impression of the other side couldn't help but worsen.

But in the end, the only thing Chris could do was not to help Royas, but also to help the Interkam Kingdom and try his best to prevent the war from happening. But for His Majesty Eldridge, none of that mattered.

If there was one person that Chris knew who could match Negri's rhythm, or even slightly surpass it, then it would be His Majesty Eldridge.

The kind of arrogance that made him think that the God that the Church of Divine Grace believed in should be beneath him.

13 years ago, when Eldridge had just ascended to the throne, a Bishop of the Church of Divine Grace went to the capital of the Kingdom of Royas, met with His Majesty, and asked him to allow the Church of Divine Grace to preach in the Kingdom of Royas.

At that time, within the borders of the Kingdom of Royas, there were already quite a few people who were very interested in the Church of Divine Grace. There were even some aristocrats who agreed to introduce the Church of Divine Grace into the Kingdom of Royas. Of course, how many of them were true believers of the Church of Divine Grace, and how many of them wanted to introduce the Church of Divine Grace to counterbalance the increasingly powerful Andre royal family?

However, His Majesty suppressed all discontent with iron and blood. He claimed that the so-called God was nothing more than a member of his throne, and that it was enough for the people of the Kingdom of Royas to believe in him. He banished the Bishop, causing the Church of Divine Grace to fail in their plans to take over the Kingdom of Royas. Then, he cleaned up the aristocrats who were holding him back in the Kingdom of Royas, united all the aristocrats who stood on his side, and began to strengthen the Kingdom of Royas.

By now, the national power of the Kingdom of Royas had far surpassed what it was when he first ascended to the throne. On the other hand, the Interkam Kingdom's national power had declined due to the internal strife caused by Seth the First.

Both kings had used iron and blood methods in their own countries, and the time period was also very close. At the time, the Interkam Kingdom was much more powerful, but now, the Interkam Kingdom's national power was becoming weaker and weaker.

There was only one reason for this, and that was orthodoxy. Eldridge ascended to the throne through orthodoxy, so after he cleaned up all the discontent in his country, he was able to focus on development.

On the other hand, in order to ascend to the throne, Seth the First borrowed the power of too many aristocrats. After he ascended to the throne, he wanted to expand and expand the Interkam Kingdom, only to find that he was constantly being held back by those aristocrats. Thus, Seth the First, who believed that he was not inferior to Eldridge, became more and more silent.

This led to two different situations between the two Kingdom of Royas. Right now, Seth only wanted to keep his throne and was known as the Sunset of the Kingdom, while Eldridge was known as the greatest King of Royas in the last thousand years. Countless youths of the Kingdom of Royas were willing to submit to His Majesty's throne and risk their lives for him.

"As a member of the Royas aristocracy, I have always been fearful of Eldridge's strength, but as a citizen of the Kingdom of Royas, I am extremely proud to have such a King" Smick said with a complicated expression.

"Let's end this topic here, I won't act against that little girl. Furthermore, I can restrain my subordinates, they won't act before Negri is taken care of" Smick spoke with a serious expression: "Right now, whether it's as an aristocrat or as a citizen of the Kingdom of Royas, Negri is an obstacle"

"The time is set for midnight tonight, there shouldn't be any problems, right? But to avoid conflict, we will attack from the east of the forbidden zone" Smick continued.

"No problem, we will attack from the south" Chris nodded, then both sides exchanged a few secret signals. The light around Smick's body warped a bit before his figure completely disappeared without a trace.

"[School of Light], huh?" Chris sighed. Eldridge had basically completed his dictatorship, so the ones who should oppose him the most were the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Royas. But now, when Smick talked about Eldridge, he couldn't help but reveal a worshipful tone. From this, it could be seen just how strong the current Royas was.

Forget it, this is something that Seth the First and the Church of Divine Grace should have a headache over " Chris couldn't help but recall Nala's face. He suddenly didn't want her to become the so-called Saintess of Salvation, because that would mean that the burden she would have to bear would be very heavy.

After going through everything briefly, Chris slowly closed his eyes. He needed to rest well in order to prepare for tonight's battle.

On the other side, Yadley had a strange expression on his face as he arranged the defense of the forbidden zone for tonight. It could be predicted that those people would choose to attack the forbidden zone tonight in an attempt to harm the great Negri.

But what Yadley found strange was the source of all of this. It could be said that the one who caused all of this was most likely that His Excellency. He already understood His Excellency's intentions, but there were still many doubts.

However, regardless of what was going on inside, Yadley's job was to complete Negri's defense, protect the order of Reystromia, and prevent those people from disturbing His Excellency Negri's dormant period.

"With our lives, we swear to protect His Excellency Negri!" Yadley declared to the Crowmen.
