The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 608

Chapter 608: The Scarlet King the next Deus Behemoth Emperor!?

Chapter 608: The Scarlet King the next Deus Behemoth Emperor!?

Eon nodded softly as he heard that, but his inquisitive gaze remained.

“As it should be.

A good deed deserves respect and honor.” When Wanton heard that, he softly shook his head as he sighed.

“Ah, your muscle brain still doesn’t get it.

Right now, the common people of the empire see the Scarlet Inquisition Force as angels, and the Scarlet King is considered the embodiment of justice and protection, an avatar of righteousness.” Eon nodded as he heard that.

There was nothing that common people love more than a feeling of safety and justice, and since the Scarlet Inquisition Force is taking care of every criminal, it is normal for them to worship them.

He knew that the Prime Minister had not finished, so he waited for Wanton to continue.

“The old Noble Families are not so keen as the Scarlet Inquisition Force ignores their background if there is any sign of crime, but even so, they still have a somewhat good impression as they are fair and just.

As long as the crimes are not too severe, they are just sent to prison without any harm.” It was at this point that Wanton made a pause, and he showed a complicated expression before speaking.

“The problem is the military.

For the Imperial Army, especially for the members of the Scarlet Inquisition Force and the Scarlet Inquisitors, the figure of Cain Laurifer is rising to a level of divine devotion.

It has come to the point that they are starting to paint their armor and weapons scarlet, as a sign of pride and identity.” Even if Eon was not the wisest, he was not a fool either and could see the point that Wanton was trying to make.

The warriors of the Scarlet Inquisition Force were all members of the Imperial Army, and that should be their core identity.

However, it seemed that they were slowly seeing themselves as inquisitors more than soldiers.

“The soldiers will follow the guide of the Great Generals and they know the Scarlet Inquisition Force will be dismantled after the one-year time frame.” Wanton stared at Eon for a moment before speaking again.

“After learning about the imprisonment of Duke Tazan, I requested General Gigant and General Amalia to bring the criminal to Amazon for questioning.

However, Inquisitor Gigant and Inquisitor Amalia responded they would have to consult with the Scarlet King.

Two minutes later, I was informed I could question Tazan, but would have to do it in the Scarlet Inquisition Force Headquarters.” Eon’s eyes narrowed as he heard that.

Clearly, when it came to deciding who to side with between the Prime Minister and the Scarlet King, the Great Generals chose to side with the latter.

Even if Wanton was not powerful himself, as the Prime Minister his military authority fell second only to Eon, yet even knowing that, the Great Generals did not hesitate before putting the word of the Scarlet King higher.

A complicated expression appeared on Eon’s face as he began to consider everything he had just learned.

Although giving military power to someone was dangerous, he did not expect that Cain could generate so much faith and devotion in a few months, but clearly, he was mistaken.

Of course, Eon could dissolve the Scarlet Inquisition Force right now if he wanted, but that would not only antagonize the Scarlet King but would also earn the disdain of the rest of the empire as the force was stamping out corruption and crime.

Even if Eon did not care about the opinion of the Ten Great Bloodlines and Noble Families, that did not mean he wanted everyone in the empire to see him and the Vulcano Clan as a force that sided with the Dark Factions.

“I understand, but is there really a problem?

That boy is doing great deeds and will improve the power and stability of our empire.

Besides, after the Great Cataclysm is over, he will return to Gaia with his people, so everything should be fine.” Wanton shook his head again and it was at this point that a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

“I have learned about Cain Laurifer, and I am sure he is someone without racial loyalty.” Eon immediately frowned and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

Even if it was his old friend, he was unhappy hearing someone tarnish the name of a warrior who did so much for the empire.

Wanton noticed that and immediately raised his hand and shook his head vigorously.

“I am not calling that boy disloyal or anything like that.

It is clear by the events in the Astral Bloodline Realm that he is someone who cares about friendship and honor, as he came back to save the members of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan from the Soul King at great personal risk.

What I am referring to is his sense of loyalty and belonging to a race.

For him, there is no difference between his own race, the Godslayer Humankind, and the other races.

It’s all about people.” If Cain were to hear those words, he would have to applaud the Deus Behemoth Prime Minister’s insight and analytic mind since this one was completely right.

He was a Master of Order, and things like racial identity and racial pride were meaningless.

“If it came to the point that he sees the Deus Behemoth Empire as a better home, then he would definitely choose it over the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

There lies the problem, as once you are gone to the Astral Sea, what would happen if he aims for the emperor’s seat?” Eon’s eyes widened in shock as the notion assailed him.

The concept of a Godslayer Human ascending to the role of Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire seemed like a bad joke, but was it really?

Cain Laurifer had garnered the love of the common people, incited fear and reverence among the Noble Families, and earned the undivided devotion of the Military.

Not to mention, he boasted a lineage from the Tem Great Bloodlines and was supported by both the Solis and Zanginis Clans to such an extent that these two mighty factions would go to war for him.
