Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Ursus started a war.

This incident caused an uproar in the political arena of the palace. The combat power of an entire army group entered the territory of another country. This was Ursus' unilateral and undeclared war.

Although most people among the nobles tend to believe that this is a personal act of the army, for the empire, this is undoubtedly an out-and-out act of rebellion - but when some of the new nobles expressed strong opinions about it, When they were dissatisfied, another part of the old nobles actually insisted on defending this sudden army.

Advocating force is the tradition of Ursus... More territory can ensure more supplies... Some people even brought up the small-scale conflicts caused by Kazdel's army before, and claimed that the behavior of the Fourth Army was nothing more than It's just revenge for that.

The entire Imperial Council was almost thrown into chaos.

The young emperor looked at the chaos of arguments in the parliament and said nothing.

He is very calm, otherwise, the Imperial Parliament would not have been rebuilt step by step over the years and become an indispensable part of Ursus's political scene.

But the old aristocracy of Ursus...such a force is too huge and too deep-rooted to be completely shaken in a short time.

The relationship between nobles is complicated. Maybe one second they were fighting over conflicts between territories, but the next second they can become an indestructible alliance for political interests.

The nobles are connected by the same spirit. If they are uprooted, Ursus will be injured. The emperor's sharp blade can kill a traitor, but it cannot completely eliminate the group of maggots eating Ursus' flesh and blood. This is exactly the situation the young emperor faces.

But he doesn't care, he can afford to wait.

As those nobles said, provoking a war does not matter to Ursus at all - not to mention, the opponent is still a country in turmoil.

Kazdaele... Kazdaele...

The young emperor glanced at the old nobles who were talking. This old man with a vague leadership status among the old aristocrats was sparing no effort to explain the legitimacy of this war and the consequences of victory. Benefits that can be obtained.

Looking at him, it seemed as if this war was over before it even started...

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was looking at the old man in front of him with a hint of mockery - the old man had not yet realized that, This was a sign that the emperor was losing his patience.

However, the old man couldn't feel it, but some people did.

The people around the emperor, the Ursus man in black clothes, as the emperor's new favorite, many people thought that he was just a flatterer who could flatter others.

But how could a flatterer be reused by this young and ambitious emperor?

"Well, my friends, this is His Majesty’s Imperial Parliament, not your private garden, let alone a vegetable market!"

The Chancellor's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have the final word. The people who were arguing seemed to have quieted down because of his voice.

Witte looked around and let out a breath.

He knew that the speaker was not His credit lies in the emperor's majesty - as the emperor's spokesperson, he will naturally be jealous of this group of people, but he has to be respected by them.

Because His Majesty the Emperor is watching behind him.

He took a deep breath After taking a breath, the finance minister looked around, finally turned back, and bowed deeply to the emperor:"Be it betrayal or loyalty, invasion or revenge - none of this is your decision, and of course it is not my decision... This This matter should all be decided by His Majesty's will... Everyone, isn't it?"

The nobles who were still arguing just now seemed to have suddenly lost their temper. They even lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at the finance minister - the emperor behind him.

After all, no one wants to be transformed by His Majesty's sharp blade just because they have offended the emperor. It became the new headless corpse on the capital execution ground.

The young emperor nodded slightly to everyone.

"I understand what you mean - the actions of the Fourth Army do seem to be out of command, but it should not be over-interpreted or interfered with before taking the next step."

This sentence made many people present heave a sigh of relief. Although the purpose was indeed to demonstrate to the emperor, God knows if this behavior was classified as"treason" by the emperor, how many people would be killed because of it, and how many would be killed. How many families will shed blood because of this.

They are also betting that the emperor will not dare to take action against them - when the Fourth Army returns victoriously, everything will be settled, and by then, their own forces will threaten them. With great victory and land, Ursus returned to the top of the political arena.

"Well, dear friends, regarding this matter, I would like to wait for the return report of the Fourth Army before drawing any conclusions."

The young emperor looked at the gestures of the large group of nobles in front of him and sneered slightly in his heart, but his expression remained as usual:

"It's just that I'm very curious about one thing. I hope all of you, dear friends, can help me share my worries.……"

"I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"

Of course the nobles showed their attitude, but it's hard to say how many of them were sincere. The young emperor smiled.

"Then...please tell me, dear friends...if, I mean if……"

"——If the Fourth Army is gone forever, how will you, dear friends, deal with your situation?"
