Chapter 150: The Five Elders
Chapter 150: The Five Elders
Currently, the Marines have reached a critical juncture, with their main combat power concentrated in the New World.
Most of the forces from the first half have also arrived at Marine Headquarters, ready to push into the New World for rescue at any moment.
The situation on the Great Sea suddenly changed like this.
Compared to the relatively stable situation half a year ago, the Allied Forces now feel as though they have suddenly arrived at the end of days.
The World Government is also trying to figure out how to rescue this military, and even the Five Elders plan to personally take action.
Since defeat is already certain, it is necessary to preserve strength as much as possible.
The Allied Forces being annihilated by the Rocks Pirates is something they absolutely do not want to see.
Mary Geoise.
"Warcury, Mars, we're counting on you this time.
"
Jaygarcia Saturn of the Hristo Family, one of the Five Elders who holds the authority of Agriculture Warrior God, leaned on his cane with one hand.
His expression was peaceful, but his heart concealed anger.
"Hmm, I didn't expect the situation to have reached this extent.
"
Saint Topman Warcury, the Law Warrior God, wearing a dark green suit, with a chevron-shaped mustache and a birthmark on his forehead, spoke with some emotion.
Compared to his future baldness, the younger Saint Warcury still had some hair on his head.
"Who could have imagined? Behind the Rocks Pirates, there is a massive strength pushing and supporting them.
"
Standing straight, Saint Marcus Mars, wearing a dark blue suit, with long white straight hair and a very long beard, flexed his wrist.
"Is it D? Is there still strength hidden even now?"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, the Science Defense Warrior God, wearing a black suit, with white curly hair, a bushy white beard, a flat cap, and a scar on his left cheek, asked with a frown.
His words caused the expressions of the others to change.
"No matter who it is, they will eventually be exposed.
This time, it's up to the two of us.
Since the Holy Knights cannot take action, each of us will lead five reserves.
"
Saint Topman Warcury said seriously, "Let these seeds undergo some tempering as well.
"
The Holy Knights reserves gather young, potential members from various Celestial Dragon Families.
The nine strongest among them form the Holy Knights, the enforcement body of the World Noble.
In other words, the rest are substitutes.
Only when there is an opening above can they fill the position.
Just like the Tartarus Family, the World Government also has a perfect system for cultivating Strongmen.
Relying on such a system, they continuously cultivate Talent and Strongmen for the Family and the World Government.
However, with the corruption of power and internal strife within the World Government, some Family naturally declined.
The slots for the Holy Knights used to rotate among the various Celestial Dragon Families.
But now, some Celestial Dragon Families have been without a slot in the Holy Knights for several hundred years.
This also represents being without a chance at a position among the Five Elders.
Without strength, no matter how intelligent or strategic one is, they cannot become one of the Five Elders.
This also represents the decline of the Family.
The decline of the bloodline.
If they cannot produce top-tier Strongmen, what else could this be but the decline of the bloodline?
Can such a bloodline be worthy of the title of World Noble, "Celestial Dragons"?
The noble status of the Celestial Dragons is merely superficial; the most important thing is the bloodline of Strongmen.
"Then it's settled.
"
Saint Ethanbaron V.
Nusjuro, the Finance Warrior God, wearing a white robe, bald, and wearing glasses, held his samurai sword and nodded, then turned his gaze towards Jaygarcia Saturn of the Hristo Family.
"Jaygarcia Saturn, have you found someone to take your place?"
Jaygarcia Saturn is the oldest among the current Five Elders.
He had originally planned to step down two years ago, but a series of actions by the Rocks Pirates made it impossible for him to step down smoothly, and it has continued until now.
"Yes, I'm quite optimistic about the young man from the Shepherd Family within the Holy Knights.
"
Jaygarcia Saturn of the Hristo Family rarely showed a smile on his face; it seemed he was quite satisfied with his successor.
"Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, his performance is indeed good.
Then it's decided it will be him.
"
Saint Nusjuro thought for a moment and agreed.
The other Five Elders also did not refuse.
The number of top-tier members among the World Noble can be counted on one's fingers; there are only nine Holy Knights, so they naturally understand them very well.
In fact, Saint Ju Peter being chosen by Jaygarcia Saturn did not exceed their expectations.
As for the appointment and removal of the Five Elders, it still requires a vote from the Celestial Dragon Council, but for them, it's just a formality.
Saint Ju Peter himself was already a popular candidate, and with their support, it also represents the support of the World Noble Family behind them.
It can be said that this position is already set in stone.
Moreover, as the successor chosen by Jaygarcia Saturn, who holds significant influence among the World Noble, he will inherently gain some political assets from Jaygarcia Saturn.
The support of the other Five Elders is one of them.
"Should we inform That Person about this matter? As long as we use that thing, the entire Rocks Pirates will be wiped out.
"
Saint Saturn glanced at the others and asked tentatively.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
As soon as the words fell, the most senior, Jaygarcia Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, refused.
"That Person is still in slumber; it's not time for them to awaken.
Disturbing them now would not be good.
"
"Moreover, with the Great Sea in this state, what would happen if That Person were to find out? What we need to do is stabilize the World Government's position before That Person awakens.
"
"Even if we were to tell them, it should be after That Person awakens.
"
Towards That Person, those present felt nothing but reverence in their hearts.
That is the Ruler of the World Government, the King of the Celestial Dragons, the sole master of the Empty Throne!
Eight hundred years is too long; time wears away everything: combat awareness, instincts, and even wisdom.
For this reason, That Person falls into a deep slumber every so often.
"Then let's act.
The Allied Forces won't be able to hold on for much longer.
"
A warship bearing the World Government's mark sailed away from the Red Line, heading straight towards the Front Line.
Behind it, a hundred more warships, either newly built, purchased, or requisitioned, followed.
"Incompetent Marines, to think they even need us to personally step in for rescue.
"
On the only luxurious warship bearing the World Government's mark.
Leading the way were Saint Topman Warcury and Saint Marcus Mars, both wearing suits.
Agent stood on the warship.
But the most eye-catching were the young men and women on the deck, dressed in magnificent noble attire.
There were ten in total, without exception, all Celestial Dragons.
Regarding the upcoming action, there was no fear in their eyes.
Looking down on everything from above.
The World Government's tempering is not that simple, yet they all persevered.
To be able to become Holy Knights reserves, each of them is inherently one of the heavenly talents.
At the same time, they felt a sense of novelty in their hearts; they were not unfamiliar with the Great Sea.
The World Noble's training often takes place on the Great Sea, but this was the first time they were truly joining a battle on the Great Sea.
As the foundation of the World Government and World Noble, they generally would not be exposed on The Great Sea.
As for the Holy Knights, they only take action when the lives of the World Noble are threatened.
