Chapter 95 Overwhelming Power
A mere Great Fairy, after being assassinated, was able to summon an Extreme Intent Warrior to lead a reorganized Golden Knight order to strike back. The fundamental reason lies with Noah’s legendary foster father, who can slay an Ancient Dragon single-handedly.
Currently, among the thirteen main battle Knight Orders reorganized by the Augustus family, ten of them are led by captains who are close combat professionals at the Ultimate Intent Realm.
Multiple numbers of Extreme Intent, ordinary legends do not have such appeal, and there is absolutely no possibility of attracting so many high-ranking close combat professionals to voluntarily follow.
It is precisely Casius’ combat power, which exceeds secular understanding, that created the unprecedented prosperity for the Augustus family before his rise to legend.
A Great Fairy at the Radiant Gold Realm was assassinated, causing a ripple effect that affected nearly thirty nobles of various sizes.
An Earl was executed, the main lineage of his family was swiftly put to death, unrelated branches were stripped of their status and reduced to commoners. All family assets and territories were reclaimed.
Underneath, the nobles connected to this assassination were all subject to liquidation; it could be said to be a great upheaval with those executed in the hundreds, if not thousands, and tens of thousands more affected.
This not only did not cause panic, but since every executed individual had clear charges and corresponding evidence, it actually excited many. With so many nobles removed, quite a few fiefs are now vacant.
The fiefdoms reclaimed from the barbaric regions and those worked by nobles for hundreds of years are not the same concept; the former requires pioneering work and struggle against all surroundings, while the latter merely requires driving away beasts.
Such enormous benefits naturally lead to various conflicts; thus, within the Augustus family’s dominion, a political storm unseen in years is forming, sweeping all who harbor greed.
