Chapter 1229: Chapter 676: Make Use of the Topic to Develop Further_2
Princess Tainalasta explained concisely: "The crisis here has been completely resolved after General Gaven executed the leader of the Secret Hunting Sect, a vile organization that had pledged itself to Magla, the God of the Hunt, in an attempt to perform the ultimate hunt on me and General Gaven. The rest of you were just unfortunately implicated."
"The Secret Hunting Sect? In league with the God of the Hunt, Magla? They must be out of their minds," Lord Muyin said angrily. "It’s one thing for them to cause trouble in the wilderness, but to dare to do such outrageous things in our Komeer is unforgivable. We must not let them off easily; we have to root them out completely."
"Just wait, I will return to the Purple Dragon Palace shortly. His Majesty will certainly not ignore this matter!" Crown Princess did not mention that King Yasan and the Court Archmage were not at the Purple Dragon Palace, as this would cause unnecessary unrest.
The situation here has been broken, and it’s unknown whether they will be able to extricate themselves as Luji Town has.
"Your Majesty, you need not return to the Purple Dragon Palace. I have brought the King’s decree," said Lord Seiobo, descending gracefully from the sky on his Gryphon mount, and respectfully handed a scroll of the King’s decree to the Crown Princess.
King Yasan’s decree?
This means that King Yasan and his party had already returned to the Purple Dragon Palace, no, they had even visited this place without her knowing.
When Princess Tainalasta took the scroll of the decree, she did not need to verify it deliberately; she knew it was authentic, for it not only bore King Yasan’s magical royal seal but also the Mage’s mark from the Court Archmage—both of these spiritual seals were quite difficult to falsify.
"By the King’s decree, the True Silver Family, the Urus Family, and the Archer Family have secretly supported the Secret Hunting Sect and colluded with the Evil God Magla, attempting to assassinate Princess Tainalasta, the heir to the throne, and thereby shaking the foundations of the Kingdom. This act is considered treason. From this day forward, the Kingdom commands an all-out purge of the Secret Hunting Sect. Every citizen of Komeer is responsible for reporting members of the Sect; all properties and lands of Sect members shall be recaptured; all direct members of the three major families are to be wanted. Those who dare resist shall be executed on the spot. The Crown Princess is hereby authorized to mobilize all military forces in the towns of King’s Forest to launch a large-scale clampdown on all unlawful powers within the King’s Forest."
After reading the decree, which had ink still fresh upon it, Princess Tainalasta realized that the situation was not as simple as just a conspiracy by the Secret Hunting Sect. The actions of King Yasan and the Court Archmage were not as transparent as she thought; there were undoubtedly calculated moves involved, including their disappearance—were they led away by Magla’s schemes, or did they deliberately avoid being found, pushing her to Luji Town? Only they would know.
For the moment, the Crown Princess did not know how to describe her feelings. From the nation’s interest, their actions were without fault, after all, it was for the overall situation of the entire Komeer Kingdom to root out the worms within. But personally, being used as a pawn is definitely not a pleasant experience. Although they probably had made full preparations, if one day she was in their position, would she do the same to her own children and students?
And this was the very notion Princess Tainalasta was most reluctant to delve into because she was afraid the answer would be ’yes’.
Such is the helpless state of being part of the imperial family, where family affection often has to yield to the interests of the state.
Komeer Kingdom’s thunderous counterattack against the Secret Hunting Sect began. The True Silver Family, the Urus Family, and the Archer Family might not be Komeer’s oldest families, but they are undeniably powerful influential families, especially tied closely to the King’s Forest. The True Silver Family were hereditary Earls who have been in charge of the planned logging and hunting in King’s Forest for generations. The other two are hereditary Baron families whose businesses are also inseparably linked to the King’s Forest.
Having operated in the King’s Forest for at least a century, their penetration here is not slight. Besides their well-known industries, there are more private ones, intensively embedded deep within the King’s Forest, making them difficult to be discovered by outsiders.
When Komeer Kingdom declared the reclamation of all the estates and properties of these three families, it signaled a major reshuffle of the forces within King’s Forest.
Komeer Kingdom showed a frightening efficiency in its military operations. While the Crown Princess was stationed in Luji Town, she summoned the garrisons from the towns along the way to launch a military action.
The First Legion, stationed near the royal city of Susar, marched north overnight, blocking all the southern passages of King’s Forest. The Royal Navy sailed up the Wyvern River into the Wyvern Lake, sealing off the eastern side of King’s Forest. The checkpoints naturally issued arrest warrants immediately.
However, it was apparent to discerning people that this was just the Obisceal Royal Family making use of the situation to reorganize King’s Forest. This type of blockade was only effective against ordinary people, for those noble families with Transcendent Casters could easily breach the blockade with a Teleportation Spell.
The Obisceal Royal Family had been wanting to clean up King’s Forest for a long time but had not found the right excuse. Sure, King’s Forest is the strategic depth of Komeer Kingdom, but its complex environment is also an excellent hiding place for all kinds of filth—forest monsters, bandits, kingdom fugitives, and so on. Even though Komeer Kingdom maintains a large Purple Dragon Patrol Team here, it’s impossible to completely prohibit such things. There are always tragedies happening from time to time.
