Chapter 504: The Past, Vicious and Cruel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If Braydon lost the battle with the powerful families…
The consequences of the powerful families manipulating the fate of the country were unimaginable.
There were also those people in the aristocratic families. They were basically birds of the same feather as the powerful families.
For thousands of years, the two entities had been strengthening bonds through marriages. They were as close as siblings.
That was why Braydon had returned from the northern territory.
Not only was he going to be crowned and celebrate his twentieth birthday.
He also wanted to knock out the two great entities.
There were also the sects.
What would happen if they were to rise?
That would be even more disastrous!
The sects were the most complicated, with all kinds of beliefs and doctrines that were a mess.
There were all kinds of people.
The people of the Shaolin Buddhist Sect believed that there no people in the world who could not be saved.
The thought of saving all the people in the world was terrifying!
There were monks everywhere, and the power of God was supreme.
If it really reached that stage, what would be the consequences of divine power suppressing national power?
Braydon did not even dare to think about it!
There were such examples in ancient times!
And there was more than one case. There were records of these things in the history of the future generations.
Braydon had been to Shaolin Temple and had even left these words on top of the Buddha statue in the Grand Hall.
That was… ‘The might of the country is vast’!
What was broken was the heart of those monks!
The might of a country was above the power of God.
This was an ironclad fact to Braydon.
When something unexpected happened.
It was the day when Braydon would lead the northern army to raze Mount Sheburg.
In fact, fifty years ago, when the black-robed Prime Minister Barrett Yearwood was in charge of the capital, the sects were suppressed to the point where they could not move and had their gates sealed.
This black-robed prime minister was much more ruthless than Braydon.
When Braydon did things, he was frivolous and overbearing. He always attacked directly and suppressed in all directions, not allowing outsiders to resist.
Barrett was extremely ruthless when dealing with the sects.
There were two major factions under his governor office.
One was the dark division, and the other was the special operation team.
Barrett had the two major factions’ hidden agents infiltrate the various major sects with all their might. At that time, they reached the point where they could penetrate through any opening.
Moreover, the hidden agents that infiltrated were all geniuses of the younger
generation.
There were all rare and ghost talents of the younger generation.
After entering a sect, they displayed their extraordinary talents and touched the core of each sect step by step.
The martial arts techniques passed down from the various sects were passed down to the hidden agents.
When the three years was up, Barrett withdrew all the hidden agents and had them copy all the ancient martial arts techniques they had learned and send them to the eight institutions.
These hidden agents were all teachers of the eight institutions.
Fifty years ago, this shocking turn of events was known as the tragedy of the sects!
The secret martial art techniques that were not taught to outsiders were all exposed.
To put it this way, the great sects would rather have their heritage cut off than to spread the ancient martial arts techniques to outsiders.
These people would rather bring the inheritance into the coffin than spread it!
Their thoughts were so old-fashioned.
After Barrett did this.
That night, more than ten sect masters and nearly a hundred sect leaders died in front of their ancestors’ memorial tablets out of shame and guilt.
To these people, ancient martial arts techniques were the foundation of a sect.
That was something that could not be leaked even if they died.
In the end, the ultimate techniques of various sects appeared in the eight institutions, nurturing generation after generation of genius martial artists.
The people who graduated from the eight institutions were the pillars of the country!
In recent decades, martial arts had been revived.
The main reason was the ruthless method that the black-robed prime minister, Barrett Yearwood, used.
He forced the various sects to seal their own sects. For twenty years, no one dared to recruit disciples from the outside.
Why?
They were afraid that Barrett would repeat the same move and cause them turmoil.
If that was the case, everyone would not be able to stand it!
Moreover, the hidden agents that had infiltrated the sects had collected a lot of dark information from the various sects over the years.
The speech and behavior of the higher-ups of the various sects, some words of rebellion, and so on.
All of these things were in Barrett’s hands.
It could become evidence of the destruction of the various sects at any time! This was the reason why the various sects sealed their own sects in an emergency.
Thus, in the secret treasury of the north, it was recorded that the black-robed prime minister stood in the capital, where the powerful families were his dogs, the aristocratic families were his cattle, and the sects were not even worth mentioning.
It was not wrongly recorded, that was for sure.
Barrett had single-handedly dealt with the sects, and they had almost fallen from grace.
Based on this point alone, was Duke Lowe not far more inferior than Prime Minister Yearwood?
He was indeed far more inferior!
The black-robed prime minister could bring peace to the world. Dominic Lowe could not compare to him when it came to the methods of controlling the sects.
Dominic seemed to be able to intimidate the capital and suppress the powerful families.
Unfortunately, this was all he could do.
If it was the black-robed prime minister, he would be able to make all the powerful families be like dogs before him.
Also, Barrett was only a third-level king back then, how did he become a War God?
He had been in charge of the military for thirty years.
During that time, the hundred countries around the world were even crueler than they were now. They suppressed and blocked everything in Hansworth, and the situation was grim.
Under the instigation of the Alpha Empire, the surrounding small countries repeatedly invaded their borders.
At that time, Banko gathered six legions and attacked Ludwig Island without warning under the pretext of the dispute over Lume Island.
In the end, on that night, at the Plum Ridge of the Ludwig Mountain Range.
A total of 600,000 elites of Banko were all killed.
The ruler of Banko, who had personally led the army, died in battle. The 600,000 elites under him were wiped out in one fell swoop, and not a single one was left alive.
Therefore, the enmity between Banko and Hansworth had been passed down from generation to generation.
Such a grand gesture naturally came from the black-robed prime minister, Barrett Yearwood.
Later on, the two hundred thousand elite soldiers of Song invaded Ludwig and were ambushed and killed by Barrett on the bank of the Lanton River in Ludwig, leaving no survivors.
There was also that evil country, Marshland.
They had also suffered a great loss at the hands of Barrett!
These were all old stories.
The period when Barrett was in charge of the palace was from ninety to fifty years ago.
He was in office for forty years.
Barrett was only a third-level king, and he suppressed the entire palace to the point where it could not move. The surrounding small countries even said that as long as the black-robed prime minister was not dead, they would never invade the borders of Hansworth.
The Barrett Yearwood of that era had truly shocked the entire Hansworth.
He was the one who held up against the other countries.
Today, life here was quiet and peaceful. It was because their ancestors had carried a heavy burden for them!
It was the same today!
Braydon’s generation was carrying a heavy burden as they moved forward, creating a bright and peaceful world for the next generation!
At this moment, everything Braydon was doing was right!
He walked toward the wall with his hands behind his back.
The Northern King sword on the wall had pinned the two of them down.
Soren Sage and Haroon Lincoln.
Braydon walked up to them and did not say a word. He slowly raised his left hand and placed it on the hilt of the Northern King sword.
As the owner of the sword, Braydon felt as if he was in perfect harmony with the cold metallic feeling.
At this moment.
Blood trickled down the corner of Haroon’s lips. He had suffered such a heavy injury, yet he was still breathing.
“Your Royal Highness,” he said hoarsely, “I’m here on orders. I had no choice!”
Braydon gripped the hilt of his sword and pulled out the Northern King sword. His gaze was cold and merciless..
