The Martial Unity

Chapter 2115  Uniting Drive

Violence sparked throughout the Kandrian Empire as the Royal Army conducted countless raids, strikes, and assaults.

It systematically attacked the entirety of the Underworld throughout the whole nation at all levels, based on the intelligence that Sage Aggragor had happily supplied to the Kandrian Intelligence Bureau.

All of his intelligence reports had been spot on.

They were able to accurately target everything of even remote importance and significance.

And they succeeded each and every time.

The Kandrian Royal Army was an extraordinarily well-oiled machine led by Grand General Aramoeous and Emperor Rael themselves. With accurate intelligence on their targets and enemies, there was absolutely no chance for failure.

One of the reasons that the Underworld stuck to the darkness as fervently as it did was because it did not stand a chance against the Martial Union or the Royal Army in direct conflict. It was far too weak and small in that regard.

Those in the know watched with glee as the Royal Army effortlessly overran the Underworld with exponentially greater numbers.

Within seventy-two hours, it was over.

THUD

Six people were thrown before Emperor Rael, shackled in chains and stripped of all clothes.

Before them had gathered the entire leadership of the Kandrian government, spectating a historic moment. The six of them struggled, enraged, yet they only invited more sneers.

Not a single one of them was willing to miss one of the most glorious moments as members of the Kandrian Government.

The Kandrian law enforcement had battled with the Underworld for centuries now. It was a long, arduous cold war filled with many losses and partial victories.

They harbored a deep hatred for the Underworld but were quite powerless in their desire to eradicate them. Not a single person had thought it was even remotely possible. Even as they gazed at five dons of the Underworld shackled and humiliated before all of them, they had a hard time believing it was real.

In their eyes, this was only possible because of one man. They turned to reverently gaze at the Emperor of Harmony on his throne.

He was extra shiny today.

Normally, he disdained overly extravagant clothes, especially when he was working on the more mundane parts of being an Emperor. But today was a day worthy of donning the most brilliantly ostentatious Royal Attire that he had.

"Today is a day that will be remembered forever."

His rich, powerful voice reverberated across the entire throne hall.

"A day that will be looked back on with pride."

He opened his eyes, letting his gaze fall on each and every single one of the members that remained captured.

"Former dons of a now eradicated Underworld, I judge you as guilty of three thousand charges for a large number of crimes, including but not limited to treason, murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, rape, money laundering…" Rael continued. The list of crimes that the five had committed was so long that he needed to essentially cite an entire section of the Kandrian Constitution.

Yet, painstaking as it was, he did it nonetheless.

He could feel the vengeance in the room from the various high-ranking members of the Kandrian government. Each of them had been negatively affected by the Underworld in many ways. Each of them grew increasingly angered and vindicated as Emperor Rael reminded everybody of the many crimes that the men and women before him had committed.

Just as Rael had planned.

The best way to unite people was to point them in the direction of a common enemy, a common source of hatred. This was an extremely important step for Kandria and for his grand plan.

While he had already begun fixing the negative economic consequences of the Kandrian Throne War, fixing perception and morale was not as straightforward.

The tensions that existed between the power blocs of the Kandrian Empire were not something that could be solved so easily. After all, even if the throne war had long ended, the memory of the cold war waged between each other still lingered, reducing the cohesion that existed between all parts of Kandria.

That was why Emperor Rael used this incident to bring different power blocs together.

"…And thus, with the power vested in me as Emperor, I sentence you to public execution." His voice glinted with finality. "Glory to Kandria."

"GLORY TO KANDRIA!" the entire throne hall roared as one. "LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR OF HARMONY!"

The entire throne hall erupted in jubilation, triumph, and vindication. Rael smiled inwardly as he killed two birds with one stone.

The probability of his grand plan succeeding had increased by eight percent. Now, he needed to make sure that he absorbed the Martial and economic capital of the Underworld properly. While he resolutely sentenced the leaders of the Underworld to death, he had no intention of doing the same with the Martial Artists of the Underworld.

That was far too wasteful.

He intended to assimilate them into the power of the Royal Army eventually. With this gained power that would otherwise be used to damage them, the benefits were actually twice of what they were on paper.

Amidst all the loud celebrations, he found his eyes meeting the gaze of his son, Rajak. The man glared at Emperor Rael with unadulterated hatred. Hatred that Emperor Rael had earned. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He had been unable to protect this son the way that he had Rui. The loss of this young man's family had caused him to join the Underworld for revenge against his half-siblings and his father. Emperor Rael gazed at him deeply one last time before heaving a soft sigh and closing his eyes.

"Take them away."

He put the matter aside as he began planning how he was going to present this to the public. He needed to ensure that he earned their approval for causing the many clashes that had spread across the entire nation.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through his head as he planned everything out right down to minute details.

Kandria was soon to enter a new era as the Emperor of Harmony approached the day he would execute his grand plan.
