Chapter 34: The Undercurrents of King's Harbor

Outside Sarnagar's laboratory, what Abbather had just said still echoed in Xue Hua's mind.

The purpose of the last experiment it mentioned made Xue Hua shudder.

Did that Sarnagar actually start laying out so long ago?

It lays a bait-like laboratory beneath King's Harbour to lure the trespassers into its "believers", and then convinces its followers in two experiments that can be called "miracles" in this world, and finally consciously and voluntarily transforms their bodies into its spare containers.

How insidious and vicious this plan is, if he really succeeds, then this so-called "Evolution Church" will become another serious problem for the first world humanity!

Although Xue Hua has now successfully found and destroyed this Sarnagar laboratory, what worries him is that who knows if this guy has set up similar places in other human kingdoms?

And One escaped after all, and that guy must have memorized these three experiments in his head.

Therefore, he is like a deadly virus spores, once he is allowed to land again and successfully settle, this so-called "Evolutionary Church" will immediately resurrect and make a comeback.

What's more, Xue Hua actually didn't be able to wipe out this cult this time this time, and he couldn't even talk about heavy damage.

According to the confession of the second person caught earlier, their church has quietly taken root in many human cities, but some of the organizations in the city are large, and some are relatively small.

So the seeds had actually spread out long before Xue Hua discovered this place, and now it was up to him to pull them out one by one before these time bombs exploded.

......

After coming out of the cave, Xue Hua looked at the vast and boundless horizon in the distance, looking at the leisurely blue sky and white clouds and the seabirds that preyed on small fish, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

The view is so beautiful.

But who knows how many dangers lurk beneath this beautiful landscape?

The invasion of the demons of hell has already left humanity exhausted, and now there are so-called "evolutionaries" to join in the fun.

What the hell is going on in this world?

Why did so many disasters happen to erupt here?

"Juggernaut, Dhaka has been successfully evacuated from the human city, do we need to remove all surveillance of this human city?"

Isa's inquiry in the mind of the main nest pulled Xue Hua out of his melancholy mood, and he pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, let's keep our mimic chicks in King's Harbor, let them dive deep, stop other spying activities for a while, and wait for the next awakening of the swarm."

The reason why Xue Hua made such a decision was because there was also a Majeri family in this city, although after experiencing so many things, he was actually too lazy to pay attention to those bad things in this human kingdom, but he couldn't stand the tree and wanted to be quiet and the wind didn't stop, he didn't go to the other party to trouble, but the other party wouldn't necessarily let him go.

According to some mimic chicks from inside King's Harbor, it is possible that a great change is brewing within the human kingdom.

The current King of King's Port, Wood VI, was dissatisfied with the country's weak military and the lack of progress among the nobles, and in recent years he issued a series of decrees aimed at armament reform.

The king is trying to put King's Harbor back into the frontline of human resistance to hell, instead of shrinking into the so-called "safe" rear and doing logistics as it is now.

In this regard, the Frank family, the largest professional and military aristocratic family in King's Port, is on the side of the king, and as an old and powerful professional family, the head of the Frank family obviously understands the principle of "thinking of danger in times of peace".

However, the other two noble families in King's Harbor, Joshua the "Diamond Cane" and "Margery the Golden Face", were skeptical of the military reforms intended by Wood VI, and although they agreed to properly educate the city's contemporary nobles in a certain degree of militarization, they did not believe that King's Harbor needed to be involved in the front lines of the war between humans and hell.

These two noble families are the old-school "Westmar aristocracy", and they believe in the creed of "if you can stand in the back, don't stand in the front, and if you can pay to help, don't punch and help", so they believe that the current support of King's Harbor for the Second World Front is decent and there is no problem, and the kingdom does not need to change for this.

Moreover, the two noble families have also sent legendary powerhouses to the second world to reinforce the front line, and they can still do this under the premise of continuous supply of materials, they think that they have fulfilled their obligations on the human side, there is no need, and they don't want to do more.

The confrontation between these two ideas in King's Harbor is becoming more and more intense, and the tension between the two regimes is rapidly increasing as the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. return from the battlefield to retake the seaport of Kurast.

The day after Dhaca's safe evacuation from the city, Wood VI took advantage of the two successive explosions in the noble district in recent days to once again expand the establishment of the Shining Aegis Legion in the name of maintaining the security of the kingdom, and with the help of the Frank family, he tried to further improve the city defense system in the entire King's Port.

He wanted the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. and the City Defense Force to include the poor of the port area in the recruitment system, and seemed to have the intention of restarting the long-deprecated inauguration ceremony.

Until then, all eligible young men in King's Harbour had to go to the nearby camp of Lugoin or Rogue and Westmar, and the only people in the city who were not willing to apply for the inauguration were usually the only people in the city who had the financial and material resources to do so.

Wood VI's move immediately touched the core interests of a series of King's Harbor nobles, including the Margeries and Joshuas, and one of the main reasons why these families were able to survive in King's Harbor was that they controlled a series of promotions within the kingdom.

If the king reinvents now, it means that the "mud legs" in the port area, whom they consider pariahs, have another means of promotion that can bypass their control.

In terms of the innate high status of professionals in this world, once a large number of commoner professionals began to appear in King's Port, the status of these noble families would be affected like never before.

As a result, Wood VI's plan for military reform was met with fierce opposition from the nobility of the kingdom, large and small, as soon as it was proposed.

In the face of rising opposition, the king had no choice but to compromise.

He overhauled the plan to completely rehabilitate the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. to recruit men from the port district, and the noble district's city defense was severely restricted from recruiting from the port civilians.

At the same time, under the coercion of the vast aristocracy, Wood VI had to announce that the proposal to reopen the inauguration ceremony was put on hold indefinitely, and made it clear that the recruits recruited by the city defense army from the port area would only be sent to other human kingdoms for inauguration in the name of the major nobles of the kingdom after a certain degree of military merit for the royal state.

The political struggle ended with a resounding victory for the old-fashioned aristocracy, led by the Margery and Joshua families, but as the ruler of King's Harbor, Wood VI once again realized the long-standing constraints on royal power by the country's aristocratic system.

The Marjeries and Joshua forced him to abandon his original unrealistic illusion of improving the country's armament with the nobles of the kingdom, and laid the groundwork for the violent coup d'état that followed in King's Port.
