Chapter 281: Movements of the Kingdoms
As the saying goes, good things do not go out, and bad things spread for thousands of miles.
The news that the dungeon of the holy city had been breached and the holy city had been turned upside down by the criminals imprisoned there quickly spread to all the kingdoms on the continent.
These kingdoms openly expressed sympathy for the church's plight and said they were willing to contribute manpower and resources to help the church rebuild the holy city.
However, in private, he really did laugh at the church's incompetence.
It was precisely because of this incident of chaos in the Holy City caused by Chaos Demon that the archbishops who were previously sent to various kingdoms to show off their power now retreated one by one.
The Kingdom of Kormo was one of the several kingdoms that rose rapidly after the collapse of the Thorn Flower Empire. Its territory covered thirteen provinces, and the area of each province was no less than that of the Western Xinjiang Province in China's previous life.
The capital of Kermo is an extremely prosperous metropolis where you can see the involvement of magic in many public constructions. It is a city where magic and life are combined.
In the royal palace of the royal capital, after King Kermo read the detailed briefing on what happened in the Holy City of the Church, a hint of sadness appeared on his happy face.
He was an extremely ambitious king.
Otherwise, when Hughes Hopps appeared, he would not have ordered his most elite First Army and let Heath Ledger lead them to eliminate him.
He wanted to obtain the sword of the king and the symbol of imperial inheritance, so that he could occupy the righteousness and become the true ruler of the world.
However, the intelligence in his hands told him very bad news. It took the Holy City less than half a day to quell the chaos, and thousands of epic-level warriors were directly dispatched.
Although these thousands of epic-level masters are sufficient for his Kingdom of Kermo, each of them has their own corresponding work. If he mobilizes so many masters at once, chaos will soon fall into the areas they are responsible for.
However, the church did not do so. It did not mobilize the masters outside, but only used the masters already in the holy city, and did not even send out a single demigod-level warrior.
King Kermo clenched the information in his hand, and then a figure appeared silently behind him.
"Smoker pays respect to His Majesty."
Smoker half-knelt and bowed.
King Kormo turned and looked at Smoker and said:
"Have the secret guards found your majesty?"
Upon hearing this, Smoker prostrated himself before King Kormo and said:
"The secret guards are incompetent. Ever since Samlet injured a subordinate ten years ago, the secret guards have lost track of your majesty."
Although Smoker was crawling on the ground, his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was reporting his work to his superior in a calm manner.
King Kormo handed the information to Smoker and said:
"Look, old man Samlett has appeared in the City of Sin. Your Majesty might be there too."
Then King Kermo pretended to be righteous and said:
"Your Majesty is guilty, but Samlet is such a bastard that he allowed Your Majesty to be in such a sinful place. If you are not careful, you will be harmed by those evil beasts. What will happen?"
Then he turned to Smoker:
"This time I want you to do it yourself and bring His Majesty back from that sinful place."
Smoker did not ask why they brought His Majesty back now when they had wanted to kill him before.
Instead he said:
"Then should the secret guards revoke the order to assassinate His Majesty?"
King Kormo knew that Smoker was like a machine, and the orders issued to him had to be clear and unambiguous, otherwise this guy would carry them out without leaving anyone alive.
"No, the assassination order does not need to be revoked. I just want you to bring back His Majesty."
King Kermo waved his hand.
After Smoker received the order, his figure disappeared in front of the king.
But when Smoker left, the king's face no longer had the joy he had just shown. He really disliked Smoker's character, but because of Smoker's strength, he had to reuse him.
The Secret Guard Office of the Kormo King's Capital is a place that everyone is afraid of and wary of.
Before the empire collapsed, the secret guards only operated in secret, and no one knew that His Majesty the King had such a trump card in his hand.
Since the collapse of the empire, the king moved the secret guards from the dark to the light in order to expand his power, and they became a sharp weapon to monitor everyone except the king.
It was precisely because of the threat of this sharp blade that the kingdom's rapidly expanding strength did not backfire on itself.
At this time, in the Secret Guard Office, Smoker called in the pair of Mekas and Holmes.
Although the order he received this time was to go to the City of Sin in person to bring back His Majesty, he still had an understanding of Samlet's strength.
Although he was not afraid of Samlet, there were other demigod-level strongmen in the City of Sin. Just in case, he still brought Mekas and the other two with him.
When the two heard the objective of this mission, their reactions were different.
Holmes was just feeling grateful that he had finally found His Majesty's whereabouts, while Mekas dispelled some of his previous unrealistic fantasies.
For example, she once thought that the little slave in Huidun City of Moss Kingdom was the Emperor. After all, the legendary Sword of the King was on him.
Moreover, he has such strange abilities that magic has no effect on him.
But now, after hearing what Smoker said, Samlet was in that city of sin.
And these demigods, especially those who have hunted down Samlett and Chen Cheng, all know the position of Chen Cheng in Samlett's heart. It is absolutely impossible for him to let Chen Cheng leave his side.
So at this time, Mekas had already dispelled his somewhat unrealistic fantasies.
Now that she had no more worries, she was thinking about how to snatch the Sword of the King from Chen Cheng, and then use the Sword of the King to open the door to her own world from the true gods outside the domain.
Smoker looked at the two men in front of him, then his gaze lingered on Mekas for a moment, and then he asked the two to follow him to the abandoned city.
At the same time, several other powerful kingdoms also learned through different channels about Samlet's appearance in the City of Sin.
Back then, they were inferior to the Kingdom of Kermo in terms of intelligence, so they were unable to react immediately and send people to hunt down Hughes Holmes.
And now that they have received the news, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.
While several powerful kingdoms on the mainland were dispatching their demigod-level warriors to the City of Sin, their real target, Chen Cheng, was doing needlework in a remote earldom.
Chen Cheng is also a man of his words. After getting Aunt Mei's physical data last time, he began to design the electric-proof suit he would give to Aunt Mei.
