“Let’s go back.”
Gold Spear spoke indifferently, but his voice was a little hoarse.
“Provincial Lord, what should we do now?” Gold Mu asked.
He could also sense Gold Spear’s current situation.
Therefore, he looked worried.
“We can only tell His Majesty the truth as soon as possible and ask His Majesty to send people to support us…”
Gold Spear was obviously having a headache. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Who would have thought that Lin Chen would grow so quickly? He’s growing too fast! If we don’t control him, we probably won’t be able to control these Blue Planet people. 1 heard that the Blue Planet people in Lingnan Province are very honest and obedient… Gold Mu, we have to gather all the Gold family soldiers to Fallen Leaves City. If something goes wrong, then… we at least have a way out!”
Lin Chen’s growth speed was too fast.
As a result, Gold Spear, the provincial governor, who had once looked down on Lin Chen, felt threatened in less than a month.
However, what frightened Gold Spear even more was the parliament and the king.
It was a complicated imperial court!
The situation in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom was very complicated.
This was mainly caused by the conflict between the nobles and the king.
In fact, Gold Spear was also a part of the nobles.
However, he was loyal to the king and helped him do things and seize land.
The territories that were eaten by the rich and powerful!
In the eyes of the nobles, Gold Spear was clearly a traitor.
He was a betrayer of their interests.
At this moment, how could Gold Spear not feel threatened?
However, how could a person like Gold Spear not have any trump cards?
The Gold Family Army was his trump card!
They had fought on the empire’s battlefield before!
Gold Spear was from the army and grew up as a noble on the empire’s battlefield. Later on, because of the invasion of the Blue Planet, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the king to take charge of the Sea Conqueror Province. To put it bluntly, Gold Spear was actually a feudal official.
He had a lot of resources at his disposal.
“If the parliament wants to touch the provincial lord, at most, our Gold Family army will rebel and take our own territory! In order to protect the provincial lord and the family, we will definitely fight to the end!” Gold Mu said in a low voice.
He had already thought of the worst case scenario.
A single misstep could lead to eternal regret!
Who would have thought that a person from the Blue Planet who was only Level 120 a month ago could actually force many peak Second Rank experts in the huge Sea Conqueror Province to such a state?
Now, because of Lin Chen and Sky Moon City, even the provincial governor, Gold Spear, felt that his status would be lost.
Gold Mu and Gold Spear’s subordinates were quite loyal.
All of them expressed their loyalty to Gold Spear.
In fact…
They were even prepared to rebel and take their own territory!
This was to escape the control of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!
What was this?
This was treason!
However, even though Gold Mu was full of confidence that the Gold Family army had the ability to take over a territory, what Gold Spear said next still left him at a loss.
Gold Spear said in a deep voice, “If the parliament wants me, I can indeed occupy a territory and not listen to them, but… what if His Majesty wants to touch me?”
“His Majesty… That’s not possible!”
Gold Mu was shocked.
What he said about the Gold Family army taking over their own territory needed to have the support of His Majesty.
Moreover, he believed that His Majesty would support them.
Because…
The Gold family had always been loyal to him. It was also for the power of the king. It was all to prevent the royal family from being devoured by the expanding nobles!
How could His Majesty burn the bridge after crossing it?
Once he lost the support of the king, Gold Spear would become a pariah.
But…
Did Gold Spear do something?
Had he committed some heinous crime?
Was there a need to force him to such a dead end?
No!
What Gold Spear did was something that was loyal to the royal family and was beneficial to the royal family’s consolidation of power!
Collecting the land and preventing the nobles from continuing to annex it was a reform that would benefit the Dragon Spirit Kingdom for generations to come!
But why did it become like this?
“Provincial Lord, if the king is really so muddle-headed, then this country is completely hopeless,” Gold Mu said hatefully.
“You don’t understand.”
Gold Spear shook his head.
There were many things that Gold Mu did not understand.
How could some logic and reason possibly up a power struggle?
Gold Spear knew what he was doing.
He also knew why he had offended these nobles.
But would the King and parliament not know?
Would the Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquises not know?
Everyone knew it!
However, in a battle of interests, each had their own master.
Everyone wanted to protect their own interests.
“Report it to the parliament. Sky Moon City’s Lin Chen refuses to fulfill his obligation to send troops to the empire’s battlefield and we request the parliament to send people to suppress him… As for the king, tell him the truth.”
Gold Spear said, “Gold Mu, if it’s possible, I… only want to bring you brothers away unscathed now.”
That being said.
However, from Gold Spear’s attitude…
He also knew that it would not be easy to retreat.
Lin Chen did not know that Gold Spear had already added a false charge to his name.
He got everyone to clean up the battlefield.
Then, Lin Chen looked at the various factions’ airships that had already left and pondered…
Today’s sword strike could be considered the first time he had punched out in front of all the factions in the Sea Conqueror Province.
It also counted as him showing his fangs.
Then, what would happen next?
Lin Chen could not know.
After all, his understanding of the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom was limited to the Sea Conqueror Province.
The only thing Lin Chen could do was to become stronger!
