Chapter 750: Bloodshed Ambassador
Kober's eyes widened as he heard the news. In this age, when a message from an A.I. Chip could take less than a second to reach the other corner of the Sector, stopping such shocking news from spreading was nothing short of incredible.
However, that was not the most crucial part. Kober knew the Scarlet King was not a saint, as he broadcasted the slaughter of hundreds of thousands for all the Godlsayer Humankind to see, and without blinking an eye. Yet, he also spared millions and protected them from unjust prosecution, so he was definitely fair.
However, butchering the Golden Roc Duke and his family was simply too much, especially since they stated they were going through the States on a diplomatic mission. Since the massacre happened so fast, there was clearly no conversation, and the Scarlet Alliance went to the meeting with a single goal.
Kober believed something like that could happen because the Golden Roc Duke was part of the Imperial Army and had remained in the Prometheus Sector during the entirety of the war in the north, which ignited the wrath of the Scarlet Alliance.
"Even if the Golden Roc Duke did not march into battle, that was not necessarily his fault. After all, the Imperial Court redirected all forces to the other Sectors, and the man was just following orders. The Scarlet Alliance went too far with this. How can we trust someone that goes into a slaughter during a diplomatic mission."
Kober's face grew cold, but the Diamond Saint Duke shook his head as he sent a file to his son using their A.I. Chips.
"Do not be too quick to make judgments, son. Here, look at this."
Kober was surprised by the file his father sent him. As he went through it, he saw a detailed target package related to the Golden Roc Duke.
There was clear evidence of the many crimes the man had committed throughout his life, many of which disgusted Kober. Still, the intel focused on the last years, detailing clearly how the man did not even bother trying to answer his responsibilities as a general of the Imperial Army, marching to the north.
If that was not enough, after learning about the Scarlet Ambassadors going through the Sector and requesting the leader to either ally with them or leave the Prometheus Sector, the Golden Roc General began to mobilize his troops, but not to prepare to fight. They were trying to mobilize the entire Golden Roc State population into their castle, and it seemed they were preparing for a siege.
It was easy for Kober to understand that the Golden Roc Duke was ready to use those people as human shields, forcing the Scarlet Alliance to leave them alone unless they were prepared to incur severe collateral casualties.
