Chapter 1200: Jiang Chens Presence (1/2)
Since there were supporters for Emperor Shura, there were naturally ones for Sacred Peafowl Mountain and young lord Zhen They too joined the fray as more and more people raised their voices
“Ridiculous! Sacred Peafowl Mountain should rule Veluriyaeneration Anyone from any other faction should be considered an usurper!”
“We support young lord Zhen! He’s still young, but his potential and ability have both proven that he ht successor!”
“I support young lord Zhen as well He’s achieved soto wait a hundred years for hih, three to five hundredter lord Zhen!”
“Absolutely E in the role of a lieutenant or third-in-line As a proper leader? I feel like he’spresence and heart”
There was utter anarchy in the crowd So ed to hold their tongue The two blocs instantly engaged each other in a war of words
With Sacred Peafowl Mountain, there was a group of fiercely loyal subjects even with Emperor Peafowl’s absence For the most part, they were composed of people who’d been raised up personally by the enored
Whether Emperor Peafoas here or elsewhere, they saw Sacred Peafowl Mountain as their patron As long as the mountain stood, their positions were safe If it lost power, their oould go with it sooner or later Despite E future retaliation, most of the vassals didn’t believe a word of it There was absolutely no cause for theers he sent
Firstly, Emperor Shura was not the most tolerant sort of individual Secondly, Eh the ranks E, they couldn’t just turn on Sacred Peafowl Mountain at the drop of a hat Finally, nobody knehether Emperor Peafowl had actually died or not
He’d ruled Veluriyam Capital for three thousand years, after all In the eyes of the city’s vassals, Eend The very thought of hi so randomly was beyond incredible Thus, even the feere wavering slightly felt that it was no better than nourishi+ng a viper in one’s bosom if they supported E Eood results for them down the line On the off chance that Emperor Peafowl made a triumphant return, they would be conderates and traitors then
With any amount of consideration, it wasn’t difficult to realize that they had Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s mark on them already They were destined to be in the sa Sacred Peafowl Mountain was tantaardless of on in the end The quarreling continued Neither faction yielded to the other
Jiang Chen cast a detached look over the crowd There was no shortage of Shura supporters It seeht more than his fair share of friends over the years Perhaps Emperor Peafoays knew It was siiven his aloof position
Emperor Shura’s cronies aside, there were plenty of Sacred Peafowl Mountain loyalists as well
“Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s three-thousand-year rule of the city is paying off Their roots here are profoundly deep Even though gossip is flying all over the place, there has been no large-scale defection Living proof of Emperor Peafowl’s charisma, too, I think”
It was an easy observation that inal vassals clearly supported their place of allegiance Jiang Chen was secretly pleased by this He didn’t have much of a connection with those people If Emperor Peafowl really had fallen, it was understandable that their devotions would end with their master’s departure
But the vassals had not abandoned Sacred Peafowl Mountain They re Chen was touched by the gesture He was resolved all the more to strive for the city’s rule with Emperor Shura, noChen ell aware that it would be a colossally strenuous task to overcoiven the limitation of his current position and resources Nevertheless, he was obligated to give it his all For these sincere supporters, if nothing else
Ah, Your Majesty You have really given ht of the wise ruler brought a wry s Chen’s face Even in this time of trouble, he was concerned about the older man’s safety
“Quiet down, please!” Ereat e the cacophony of noise to aof this hubbub?” Ery, but he was not to be ignored when he did “The decision has already been le chance to vote for whoever you support Remember, you’re vassals of Veluriyam Capital first and fore rather than engage in pointless argument “No matter ins in the end, Veluriyam Capital cannot be allowed to torn asunder Otherwise, it would be better not to have the vote at all!”
Eazed thoughtfully toward E Chen “I have a piece of advice for the two of you Whether it is Sacred Peafowl Mountain or the Shura Retreat that wins, I hope that you will be er picture You must accept the results of this election; the loser should not cause trouble for the winner Any separatisreat severity!”
The kindly emperor felt deeply indeed about Veluriyam Capital His words were far harsher than was typical for him
