SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 63 Annexation of Two Kingdoms



Chapter 63 Annexation of Two Kingdoms

The kings, queens, and beings around the world have not recovered from the shock of Ru and Fran's surrender. Another shock blew their minds.

"Van Flameworth, the King of Baynard, is a fourth-level aura master! The youngest to reach the 4th stage in history!"

Everyone thought that the shocking news was over, but another news reached their ears.

"Roy, a man with no aura or magic, toyed the empire and two dukes of the two kingdoms! He brought the two kingdoms to their knees!"

Everyone can't believe what they are hearing. How can an ordinary man be so powerful?

"Fuck! Is Baynard a den of monsters?!!" is a thought that runs through many beings minds.

A few hours ago, before the news of Edgar and Roy spread to the world, the news about Edgar reached the empire first.

Inside the castle of the emperor in the Maginev Empire, news about the king of Baynard reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor's eyes are wide open. He can't believe it. A twenty-six-year-old fourth-level aura master! He knows the power of fourth level. He is even afraid of Bartos.

Gustav murmured, "How is that possible? How is that possible?"

The prime minister sighs at the bewildered emperor and can't help but say, "Your Majesty, the news came from Marshal Bartos himself."

Gustav looks at the old minister, then suddenly stood up and grabbed the minister's arms.

"What did Bartos say? Did he win?" asked Gustav with expectation.

"Your Majesty, he said he has a slight advantage. The young king has just recently reached the stage." said the Prime Minister.

"S-Slight advantage?" Gustav is speechless.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Bartos did not use his full power. There was no chance to use it because their army interrupted their fight." said the Prime Minister.

"Right! Right! Hahahaha, so Bartos did not use his full power! We must quickly mobilize the army to give Bartos a chance to pummel that damn king into meat sauce!" said the emperor as he gnashed his teeth and clenches his fists.

"Y-Your Majesty, w-we actually lack money to recruit soldiers. We can't mobilize the army in the west because the Morowind empire is making some movements. There are only a few soldiers on the border of Ru and Fran since it was not necessary when the two dukes became our secret ally. We were supposed to stop the war in the west because of the problem with money," said the old minister with a helpless tone.

"T-this, how did it turn into this?! D-does that mean that we are just going to watch the annexation of the two kingdoms?!" Gustav loudly asked with bloodshot eyes.

"Your Majesty, the timing of Baynard's attack is accurately right!" said the old minister while firmly gripping his fists. His face looks very serious.

"A-Are you saying this is their strategy?! Who the hell is the monster that can scheme like this?!" the astonished Gustav asked.

Gustav and the minister stare at each other as the young king of Baynard appears in their minds. The king, who pretended to be incompetent for many years, then amazed the whole world with a single brilliant feat.

Gustav and the minister shake their heads.

"How can there be a monster in strength and mind? If a monster exists like that, I,the emperor, will surrender the empire to him!"

The words spread throughout the world, Baynard will officially include the two kingdoms as their territory. The soldiers of Maginev empire is gnashing their teeth. They are not prepared to launch a war immediately. They endured the boiling rage within them and just keep sharpening their blade until it is ready to strike.

The ceremony was broadcast throughout the whole territory of Baynard, including the previous two kingdoms. The kingdom still follows a constitutional monarchy.

All citizens rejoice. On the first day after Ru and Fran officially belonged to Baynard, people felt the difference. Food and clothes are being distributed for free to families that lack them. Officials coordinated with leaders in villages, towns, and cities to make a list of families that needed help. Special forces are deployed to eradicate bandits. Dragon Hall is not dissolved. It might even expand to other countries later. Policemen are patrolling the streets. Gangs are arrested and given to Minister Topas for reform. He accepted them with a smile, but his smile made the hairs of the gangs stand up.

Magic Production Corps went around cities, towns, and villages to create proper water systems, drainage systems, and public toilets. There are few magic lamps in cities and towns. The royal court ordered magic lamps from companies other than the Flameworth Group. There are magic appliance companies owned by the remaining nobles. The companies owned by Duke Reich, Duke Wesly, and other eradicated nobles are divided among them. All nobles in two kingdoms accepted the offer of Edgar when news spread that he is a powerful fourth-level aura master.

The royal court recruited ordinary people for temporary work to clean the trash and feces of humans and steeds in cities, towns, and villages. When morning came, people found out that the air is a lot more fresh. The political system of Baynard is introduced to citizens. Officials are deployed for temporary management until officials of Ru and Fran adapt to the political system of the kingdom.

Large-scale construction happened again. Many ordinary people and magicians are working together to create roads, bridges, and houses. The slums are destroyed, the people living there are put in large tents, and they will be given new houses after they are built. Orphans are put in orphanages.

The scene in the first few months when Edgar arrived at the trial is happening again. The previous two kingdoms are thriving, and new citizens are happy.

Inside the castle of the emperor in the Morowind Empire,a secret meeting is happening between the emperor and a mysterious man wearing a hood that covers his head. Beside him is a nervous, chubby man wearing a loose robe.

Emperor Uslou looks at the man with a hood with interest.

"I heard you are a giant with two heads and eight arms. They said you are very scary, so scary that two kingdoms bend their knees on your accord, Minister Roy, or should I say Prime Minister?"

The man with a hood laughs and removes his hood. Roy is smiling and says,"Your Majesty, I am still the minister of trade and industry. There was not enough time to transfer the duties of Prime Minister to me because I volunteered to do this secret deal with your empire."

"Hah! Why should I help you? Should it not be more advantageous to my empire if you go to all-out war with the Maginev Empire?!" said Emperor Uslou.

Roy smiled when he heard the emperor. "Your Majesty, we know that your country has exhausted its resources in the war and your empire has fewer income than Maginev because you don't have direct access to the sea. If Maginev conquered our kingdom, they will have a lot more source of wealth. If you help us hold the army of Maginev in the west, we will help you solve the problem in the grassland. We will even invest in your empire and share our technology."

"What?!!" Uslou stood up. He can't believe what he just heard. The problem that has terrorized them ever since their empire was established can be solved. They will even invest and share their technology. The person in front of him really deserves his reputation.

"Your Majesty, withholding the army of the Maginev empire does not need so many resources to spend. Just make Marshal Aktor create devastation in front of their stronghold, and then our secret deal will officially form." Roy said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, a deal that has so much advantage to the empire, and I won't even spend a penny. I really like it!" The emperor calmed down after laughing for a while, then he asked Roy.

"How will you solve the ogre that always harasses the border?"

Roy looked at the nervous, chubby man beside him and answered.

"Border Trade."
