BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192 It's Just A Political Game
As the saying goes, when misfortune occurs, it comes crashing onto you.
That was what was happening currently to the ruling forces.
The revelner disease that was ravaging the South, the Hevertec kingdom, actually spread to other ruling forces. And obviously, it looked like someone was spreading it with ill intention through the water banks.
Being aware of the threat posed by this plague, the higher-ups of the ruling forces gave out orders of burning the infected with no hesitation.
This kind of immoral order made all the natives worried and even reproach such actions.
However, Losing the trust of the citizens was better than dying. Kings and emperors ignored the complaints of the masses with iron-hard resolve.
At that time, people could only drink water generated from water crystals or enchanted and magical devices made from it.
But even after taking all these countermeasures, it was hard to suppress the revelner disease. It came to a point where villages and cities were ordered to be demolished.
The Neokelt kingdom was facing even more difficulty after the destruction of the Jhesker alchemy tower.
Just when they were able to stably suppress the disease, a disaster many times worst came ramming into them.
.....
On a normal day, the natives living their life suddenly felt a shadow cast over them.
Anyone who saw the thing floating in the sky froze in their positions.
It was a flying black piece of land, what was the most shocking fact was that it was tens of times larger than the capitals of the ruling forces.
Green aurora light was being emitted by its whole body intensively.
Just when the people below the fortress were wondering what this fortress was.
It began.
Thousands of blue flashes left the grand fortress and landed in between houses below.
The natives could not even react to the speed these flashes moved. Some of them died being crushed by these flashes.
The ground was dyed in blood and the brain matter of someone.
The blue light dispersed exposing the being within it.
A golem in the shape of an insect stood there, and many differently shaped golems were revealed one after another.
Thereafter, a massacre occurred, and no one could stop it. There was not even time left for the ruling force to take any countermeasures.
"Huh...Hey, wait w-what is that?"
"Move! Let me through, my mother was in that house!"
"Everyone, let\'s get away from here for now!"
.....
Just when all the natives snapped out of their daze and started talking in shaking voices. But, the first to move was the golem.
With the sound of the golem core activating, the golem instantly leaped, executing the order in its head — kill the humans!
Before the peak-rank golems, these citizens were just like an ant. They were squished to death like it was nothing.
The fortress in the sky continued shooting out blue rays continuously. Some large blue flashes headed toward the castle in the middle of the capital.
The mages were the ones who fell into despair first, they couldn\'t conjure magic!
The fortress had a high-capacity anti-magic field around it, which covered the whole capital currently. Even enchanted items, magical weapons, and magical devices were useless.
With all their escape routes cut, no one was spared.
The whole scene became hectic right after.
.....
At the same time, Leona and Anastasia were greeted by a shady person, Zick. Or more specifically, a golem controlled by him, having peak master rank strength and a humanoid-shaped one. It had a somewhat handsome face with red eyes and grey hair.
Zick was not sure, but there was still a chance of any one of these two people being blessed by a god.
"Work for me and in return, I will grant you your wish," Zick spoke through the golem. He was very straightforward.
Leona smiled bitterly at the offer of this person, who broke through all the security and arrived before her. A total stranger.
Leona did not let apprehension show on her face.
"What do you mean you will grant my wish?"
The handsome person before her smiled, he looked right into her eyes.
Zick chuckled while opening his mouth: "Didn\'t you want to destroy the Leicester alchemy tower? You want to destroy this place that took away everything from you, right?"
"Hmm? Or am I wrong? Don\'t tell me you already let go of what happened to your hands and lungs now." Zick was all smiles while speaking.
Leona\'s expression changed, she didn\'t expect Zick to know so much about her.
"What kind of work do you want me to do?" Leona asked.
"Kill people of course."
"Then I refuse."
Leona\'s rejection didn\'t faze Zick.
"Are you sure about that? You won\'t get such an opportunity again." Zick said while shaking his head.
"I don\'t want to work for some criminal organization." Leona\'s answer was firm.
With a moment of silence, Zick started laughing in a soft voice.
Leona\'s brow furrowed in confusion.
Zick had already predicted her decision, in the first place he didn\'t come to recruit her, he already had Yuriel.
"Well, then let\'s trade." Zick proposed while looking at Anastasia and Leona in turns.
"Trade?"
"Yeah with both of you, a wish for a wish."
Leona and Anastasia became silent hearing him.
Leona was the most interested, she spoke with a thoughtful look: "Then what is your wish?"
Zick smile deepened by a level: "I will keep it with me for now, when the time comes I will seek your help. Don\'t worry, this wish does not harm human lives in any way, you could say it\'s even helping them."
Only after hearing this did Leona nod her head, Anastasia also agreed. Levienel in disguise appeared beside Zick, and with her help, a contract was made immediately.
"Well, you should leave the kingdom this instant then. This tower and the kingdom would be destroyed in an hour." Saying this, Zick and Levienel vanished.
Next, Zick went to the other two alchemy towers with Yuriel and Levienel. They were looted dry by him, he even took Veurin with him to increase the admiration in her heart.
This time around, Zick with a mask declared that he destroyed the alchemy tower and is the one who is controlling the golems.
By then, the whole eastern region, half the continent, was already taken over by the golems. In other words, both Leweisert and Neokelt kingdoms were destroyed.
Zick was sure to thrash the church in there thoroughly, taking out some of his annoyance.
Many vagrants who escaped took refuge in the Gorthect empire. In such a situation, Revelner disease once again rose. With Zick\'s manipulation, all the talented people were left to live.
Even two royal family members from Neokelt and Leweisert kingdoms were spared.
Now, only the elf kingdom, Gorthect empire, and Hevertec kingdom were left.
Just when all the natives and the royal family were in a state of turmoil with all these problems after their neck, A man appeared telling them that he had the remedy to one of their headaches.
It was Zick, who appeared in the Hevertec kingdom and offered the cure to the people there.
This kind of event would never be missed by the other ruling forces.
Zick who was treating people at a rapid rate became the center of attention. A meeting with the royal family was arranged at once.
.....
"Please, Please save my mother and father! I will give you anything that you desire...Land, title, or anything!" The princess who was the only one who was not affected begged Zick. She was a young woman, 17 to 18 years old.
Zick smiled: \'For the two-faced Princess to be begging me. She really seems at the end of her wits. It\'s not surprising knowing the condition of the Hevertec kingdom. I should appear as the last hope in her eyes.\'
Zick shook his head to the princess, Serina.
"I don\'t need such a thing princess." Zick held a modest smile.
"Then, what do you need?" Serina was anxious internally while asking this. If Zick wished so, he could even ask for the kingdom\'s treasure right now!
"Haha, I think you misunderstood something. I am saying I don\'t need such a thing, I will treat your parents." Zick rubbed his nose oozing with modesty.
"How can I reject you when you are begging me like this? I am not such a heartless person." Zick said with an earnest expression.
Serina really wanted to reject the word \'begging\' but she kept her mouth shut.
Like that, Zick cured the king, queen, and all the other heirs, becoming a Savior of a whole kingdom.
The King wanted to reward him, But Zick rejected him and instead gave the cure formula and some hundreds of cure vials too. He contracted the Gorthect kingdom using the king\'s connection.
Zick was simply willing to offer the cure to them. When such an event was made public, his name spread wide and far at once.
Just after a few days passed by with many people being saved and Zick\'s name hailed as a savior, a revelation came falling into the ruling forces\' lap.
[ Zick is the heretic, he is the one who was named Hevesh, and he is also the one controlling all the golems. ]
How will the ruling forces react to such a thing?
Will they trust the person who saved them in their need of help?
Or will they believe the revelation, declared by the church which has a strong psychological dominance?
Rolling forces were confused as there was already a person declaring himself as the one who is controlling the golems.
Zick had prepared to take her off this for a long time.
\'It\'s just a political game after all.\' Zick didn\'t worry in the slightest.
\'Humans believe what they see. Especially the rulers, who decide their actions very carefully. They might even choose me above the words of the church. I just have to play my card properly.\'
