Dragon Monarch System

"One more thing, Aditya, can I command the entire Ice Lotus Dragon clan? They will be very helpful to me." After pleading their loyalty to Aditya, the whole clan lives near the capital. Other than a few members, the rest of the members of this clan did not join the military. But the whole clan was ready to be deployed on the battlefield when required.

"Sure.....!! Spencer, have someone message the Ice Lotus Dragon clan." Spencer nodded his head.

"Instead of causing chaos in The Dune Sovereignty Empire, wouldn't it be much simpler if I just sneaked inside the Empire and assassinated the Emperor and the Crown Prince?" Sasha could accomplish both tasks in one night. No one would have any idea that the Crown Prince and the Emperor had been assassinated until the next morning.

Hearing Sasha's words, everyone in the room remembered that she was the best Assassin in the whole world.

"Or I could just charm them and control the whole Dune Sovereignty Empire through them from the Shadows," Lilith said while twirling her hair around her finger.

"On that note, I can also charm King Adian and many other Kings. By controlling the Kings, I will be able to control their kingdoms."

"However, I cannot charm anyone who has strong mental resistance or has psychic artifacts protecting their minds. Generally, some beginner 5th-order cultivators have strong minds. While every cultivator above Beginner 5th-order is completely immune to my charm since their minds are just too strong to be put under my charm."

'Each of the Goddesses are just too powerful.' Amber thought in her mind.

Each of them had so much to offer. Each of Aditya's future wives was an amazing individual.

"Lilith, let Alicia take care of this. If she needs your or Sasha's help, then she will inform you two." Aditya had other plans for both of them. Besides, Alicia is the most suited for this task.

"I have other plans for you two." Hearing this, Lilith and Sasha nodded their heads.

"To be honest, I feel very strange about this whole situation." Aditya finally decided to share his thoughts with everyone.

"The sudden betrayal from all of our allies is the most unexpected thing that has happened."

"It's not like before their betrayal, our relationship was stiff or anything like that. Every member of the alliance had very close relations with each other."

"It is suddenly after your wedding that they changed."

"Due to all the Voidfigures constantly attacking parts of the Istarin Empire, I did not have any kind or any form of interaction with any of our allies. The last time I saw them was in your wedding ceremony."

"At that time, I sensed nothing wrong with anyone's attitude." If they had any intention of betraying the Istarinn Empire before Spencer's wedding, then they wouldn't have attended his wedding.

"I can't help but feel that there is something manipulating everything against us." Everyone had serious expressions hearing his words.

"There is some unknown force out there that is working behind the scenes. This mysterious person is behind everything."

"Maybe this mysterious person is the same person who has been sending the Voidfigures. Seeing that the Istarin Empire was resisting his Voidfigures, he has now decided to make all of the Empire's allies attack the Empire." Spencer shared his thoughts with everyone.

"It's highly possible. I would even say, given the time period between the Voidfigures constantly attacking the empire and the allies betraying the Istarin Empire, the chances of everything being manipulated by one individual is over 90%." Alicia said with a serious look.

"You can also say that the allies might have had personal contact with each other for a long time and had prepared to betray our Empire for a long time. The attack of the Voidfigures gave them the perfect opportunity to turn their backs against the Empire. But I think the chances of this happening is less than 5%."

"If any of our allies were preparing for war, then my men would have noticed this, and I would have been informed about it. But before today, no preparation was made by any Empire or Kingdom. This is why I am more than 90% certain that everything is done by one person."

Hearing Alicia's words, everyone nodded their heads. Everyone felt that Alicia's words made sense.

Aditya, Spencer, and anyone in this room has never told any of the Istarin Empire's allies about the vast information-gathering network Alicia has. The allies know that Aditya has a very deep information-gathering network.

So, there was no chance for the Allies to keep everything hidden from Alicia's subordinates purposely. Just thinking all of her subordiantes in their capital and in their territories would take them years. And by then, she might have replaced her men. So, the likelihood of this happening is extremely low, approaching 0 percent.

"So when the war does start, our priority would be to not hurt our ex-allies troops and keep the damage minimum?" Asked Henry after listening to everything.

"There is no need for that," Aditya replied in a cold tone.

"Go all out is required."

"But if it's possible to end the battle without doing too much damage and without too much bloodshed, go for that route. Command your subordinates to do the same."

"If they come with the intention of taking our lives, then kill them." Aditya wasn't a saint. He cannot end this war without taking lives. So it was better to set their mindsets from the beginning rather than being confused about what to do with their opponent.

Henry nodded his head and said nothing else.

"The Celestial Terrain will fully help the Istarin Empire in this war. The full military power of my Empire is yours to command." These two sentences carried a lot of weight since Empress Amelia said them herself.

Amelia can never thank Aditya enough. If not for him, right now, the whole Celestial Terrain would have been engulfed in the flames of a massive civil war. Maybe if not for him, then Amelia would have been dead. And her daughter would have been forced to marry her nephew.

So now that Aditya's Domain was in trouble, Amelia was willing to do everything in her power to help him out, even if it meant using the Celestial Terrain's full power.

The Celestial Terrain maintained a policy of not interfering with any conflict outside of their continent. But for Aditya, Amelia had broken that policy. And now the Celestial Terrain was a member of the Cosmic Tide Alliance.

"Thank you!!" This time, Aditya did not reject Amelia's helping hand. Though, the Istarin Empire did not need the Celestial Terrain's helping hand.

The Dragon Monarch can deal with this whole situation without needing any help.

"Spencer, close our borders. Do not allow anyone, regardless of their status and identity, to cross our border and enter the Istarin Empire from our ex-allies territories." Spencer nodded his head before he noted Aditya's order on a paper so as not to forget any of Aditya's orders.

"Alright….! Let's plan how we are going to deal with this whole situation."

"If everything has been done by a single person, we will be able to confirm it by tomorrow once Alicia and Riya find the location from where all the Voidfigures are being controlled."

"One more thing, order every City Lord to shut down their cities from any foreign contact. Who knows, some of the Voidfigures might disguise themselves as ordinary people and enter the Cty. If something like this were to happen, the aftermath would be catastrophic."

Spencer seriously nodded his head.

At the same time, Aditya could not help but wonder if this mysterious person already had sent some Voidfigures to blend into the Capital as normal people.

'I need to make an artifact that allows even the evolved Duplicates to be recognized or distinguished from ordinary cowards.'

'But to make such an artifact, I will need to work with Alicia and Riya.' After all, both Goddesses knew about the Voidfigures more than anyone else in this whole Empire. If Aditya was going to make an artifact about the evolved version of the Voidfigures, he would need their help.

The emergency meeting continued for four long hours. In those 4 hours, everything was discussed. After the meeting was over, everyone was sent to prepare for the war.

As for Aditya, he remained in the laboratory to discuss making an artifact that is capable of detecting Voidfigures and even their evolved versions.

Once Aditya shared his thoughts with Riya and Alicia, both of them fell into deep thinking.

After a while, Riya was the first one to reply. "Aditya, to make something like this, we will need more information about the Evolved versions of Voidfigures. If we can find something common within all the evolved versions, then we can assist you."

"Simply put, we need more test subjects. This time, it would be better if these test subjects already have evolved." Aditya nodded his head. He then ordered Watson to make arrangements.

Some very weak Mid-1st-order soldiers will be used to let the Voidfigures evolve. That way, Riya can suppress the evolved Voidfigures long enough to research them.
