Chapter 1738: Chapter 19: Difficulties (Part 2)
"At the same time, we must urge the Alliance to deploy troops as soon as possible and completely annihilate the evil creatures within the Falcon Kingdom’s borders!"
Prime Minister Beckett responded solemnly.
Times have changed.
Initially, we were observing the situation because we didn’t know the truth.
Now that it’s clear it was the evil "Sanctuary clan," we must act quickly to eradicate the tumor and eliminate the hidden dangers in advance.
The issue of war funding has become a secondary concern at this moment.
Money, after all, can somehow be managed and squeezed out.
A vast kingdom like ours won’t be overwhelmed by tens of thousands of expeditionary troops; at most, we’ll all endure a few more years of hardship.
"Chancellor, various major factions exploring the Kingdom of God mostly do so secretly. Can the government keep track of them?"
It wasn’t Caesar IV unnecessarily causing trouble; these issues genuinely pose difficulties.
If the kingdom begins a thorough investigation, the nobles entering the Kingdom of God, whether possessed or not, will hide immediately.
It’s human nature; no one can guarantee the kingdom’s detection methods are truly effective. If a mistake is made and someone is wrongly executed, wouldn’t it be an injustice!
Similar events have occurred in human history.
Currently, the Human Race’s understanding of the "Sanctuary clan" is limited; they only know these entities can possess human bodies, eventually transforming them into the Sanctuary clan.
When facing danger, they can morph into a swarm of bats to escape. They must be completely exterminated to completely eliminate the "Sanctuary clan."
In this context, judgments can only be initially based on the compatibility between soul and body.
Only those who can directly touch the soul, apart from Sanctuary powerhouses, have eighth-order strongmen with deep soul expertise and can make precise judgments.
But such strongmen are extremely rare anywhere and can’t be deployed nationwide.
Unless more characteristics of the "Sanctuary clan" are discovered, the current detection methods are severely limited.
After all, if the "Sanctuary clan" can possess once, who can guarantee they can’t possess a second time?
"Your Majesty, it’s not something that can be easily tracked.
However, as long as the government issues a strict decree, declaring that those who conceal or fail to report will be executed without mercy, and severe cases resulting in clan extermination, I believe major factions will know what choice to make."
Prime Minister Beckett, in the calmest tone, delivered the most lethal statement.
In the noble world, charges that could lead to clan extermination are very rare.
Typically, noble crimes are only personally accountable, with little talk of affecting the entire clan.
Such an order would certainly cause a great stir.
The troubles arising during execution would be even greater.
Those participating in the exploration of the Kingdom of God are all major nobles entrenched in various regions. As long as the middle and small nobles have a functioning mind, they won’t involve themselves in such chaos.
Considering the intricate marriage alliances among major nobles, truly implementing clan extermination could easily impact one’s own people.
"Chancellor, I’m afraid that’s still not enough.
There are seven divine kingdoms around the Continent of Aslante, and these blood-sucking entities are just products of one of them.
The kingdom is far enough from the Falcon Kingdom that it’s unlikely domestic nobles would cross closer divine kingdoms to explore that distant place.
The seven divine spirits correspond to seven different divine spirits, and it’s improbable that they all have the same preference for breeding blood-sucking creatures, right?
If nothing unexpected happens, the lessons from the Falcon Kingdom may not hold much value for our kingdom. What we most need to know is what’s on the nearest divine kingdom to our kingdom."
Hudson shook his head and said.
With vampires already appearing, it seems quite reasonable for a few new mythical species to emerge.
Going personally to explore the divine kingdom doesn’t feel appealing; not yet planning to take that risk.
However, attempting to gather information about the divine kingdom from survivors could be worth a try.
Directly asking them appears too abrupt. The information people risk their lives for shouldn’t be shared lightly.
Now the situation has changed; individual needs have transformed into kingdom needs.
Survivors of the exploration have become the biggest unstable elements in the eyes of the kingdom’s high ranks.
With the lessons from the Falcon Kingdom, the forces involved must cooperate. Once they learn of this news, they might panic internally.
Replacing the Peach for the Plum and occupying the magpie’s nest are lethal blows to any faction.
If this issue isn’t resolved, no one will sleep easy.
"The Marshal’s reminder is right; these issues must indeed be considered, so let’s combine them.
Directly gathering people might alert them, so better to organize a specialized team to conduct a surprise check before the news spreads.
If we gain results, subsequent problems will be much easier to handle."
Speaking, Beckett directed his gaze towards Hudson.
This high-difficulty task cannot be completed without sufficient strength.
Information from the Human Alliance indicates the invading force in the Falcon Kingdom has the strength to threaten Sanctuary powerhouses.
To ensure no mistakes, Hudson is undoubtedly the best choice to lead the team.
"Invite a few Sanctuary powerhouses to join me in action; no one knows what might emerge from the Kingdom of God.
If we’re to act, it must be with complete success!"
Hudson’s reply did not disappoint the crowd.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Ascending above the chancellor to become the actual second in command in the kingdom naturally carries necessary responsibilities.
