106 059. Imperial Prince Saw Him -3 Part Two

**

The communiques had been sent out, and First Imperial Prince Luan in the imperial palace, First Imperial Princess Hilda in the northwestern territory, and feudal lord Jenald Ripang in the northern frontier all received the letters.

Without any hesitation whatsoever, the trio dispatched their troops after reading the Seventh Imperial Prince’s letter. Also, investigations were launched into the affairs of the certain duke and marquis households of the Theocratic Empire using this event as a basis.

And with the revealed corruption and abuse of power as pretext, their private forces had been appropriated and mobilised as well.

Two hundred Crimson Cross members, one hundred and fifty from the Verdant Cross, another one hundred from the dwarven legion, two thousand convict soldiers, and finally, five thousand private soldiers from the affected noble houses alongside the elite forces of the empire numbering three thousand; they all closed in on the border region to Aslan.

One thousand Paladins of the Heavenly Army and over fifteen thousand elite soldiers were already stationed by the southern border to Aslan. The combined army currently waiting by the border now boasted twenty six thousand four hundred and fifty combatants.

As for the one hundred and fifty members of the Paladin Corps led by Harman, they were spread throughout the streets of Humite. They took on the role of protecting the city itself.

On top of that, the Order of the Golden Cross also made their move.

The First Imperial Prince and Princess were now involved here. On top of that, Allen was currently enjoying the authority of the Heresy Inquisitor as well.

Ruppel alone didn’t have enough power to go over their heads.

…The architect of this entire event was none other than Allen Olfolse, the Seventh Imperial Prince. It went without saying that the actual right to command the gathered army now rested with him.

With just one word from him, the vast army numbering over twenty thousand would immediately make their next move.

Ruppel was desperately thinking to himself. ‘Just what on earth did he do that they…’

Why were both the First Imperial Prince and Princess, and also a feudal lord in the northern frontier, so willing to make their moves simply because Allen asked them to?

‘…No, maybe it’s not all that surprising.’

Feudal lord Jenald from the northern frontier in question managed to defeat a Vampire with Allen’s aid.

The First Imperial Prince was on his deathbed, only to be revived to full health.

Haima nodded meaningfully, and then whispered some things into the Third Imperial Prince’s ear.

However, what Ruppel heard caused his expression to harden.

Currently, the city of Humite was a powder keg of anxiety.

The citizens were falling to the pits of fear from all the obvious signs of an impending war, and in the meantime, the kingdom of Aslan was seen making all sorts of ominous manoeuvrings lately.

Almost all of the main forces of the Imperial Family had left the imperial palace and were being stationed by the border to Aslan.

Even though the Imperial Princes were seemingly doing whatever the hell they wanted, Kelt Olfolse did not interfere.

The important matter for him right now wasn’t ‘Aslan’s ominous manoeuvring’ but the ‘manoeuvring within the imperial court’ itself.
