Lord Shadow - Chapter 2037: Power Struggle

Sasha and Wang Jian wages war against each other and when they wage war, interest faction behind them also wages war.

And Sasha whether she likes it or not is now the face of the civil official faction and Wang Jian, among many of other symbol and faction he represents, the more obvious faction he represents is none other than the molarity official faction.

And these one hundred people, whether they like it or not are considered military men. If they follow Sasha orders and did not heed Wang Jian orders, they would not be accepted anywhere

If they follow Sasha and Sasha won, what will they gain?

Sasha victory means that the military men power and interest would be dismantled. Not only those one hundred men would be considered a betrayer, they would also lose their interest and power.

They could be use during this war but once Sasha wins, they are confident that Sasha would throw them away.

But what if they follow Wang Jian?

If Wang Jian wins, not only they would gain more power, they would also gain the reputation of being loyal

Wining reputation and the possibility of gaining more power or toiling for someone else only to be abandoned later? This is not hard to choose at all.

These one hundred men came to the capital and this is a signal to everyone. Wang Jian, this time he is serious.

And everyone knows once this attack is mounted, there is no longer any possibility of turning back.

It would be a fight to the death. Either Wang Jian breached the capital and capture Sasha or Sasha defended the capital and repel Wang Jian.

These hundred elite guards, all of them is in Disk Formation realm.

It means one hundred Disk Formation realm beings is about to attack the capital.

One Disk Formation realm being is already a headache and one hundred.

One hundred Disk Formation realm being could even contend with Divine Comprehension realm leveler.

Now, the question on every one mind will Sasha deploy Death Monarch avatar again? And will she use Death Monarch avatar to kill Death Monarch most loyal generals. Would such act not anger Death Monarch when he returns?

This is a question that Sasha needs to answer.

One thing is clear

The war is about to end. Once this battle between Sasha and Wang Jian started in earnest, the end of the battle is near.

Either Wang Jian loses and die, or Sasha loses and she died.

The only way for this tragedy not to occur if Death Monarch appears right now

But even until now, Death Monarch still did not appear.

Right now, Pandemonium still did not get the news from Arturia. If they did get it, they would surely know about the matter and knows that Death Monarch is there

But to those who knows, they are also curious.

Death Monarch is in Arturia right now and the war in Pandemonium is getting worse. But he did not come to the war and he did not interfere.

Is Death Monarch incapable of interfering… or is he letting this battle to happen.

The intrigues and plots of Wang Jian and Sasha and the factions behind them are all earth-shaking but to the eyes of beings like Death Monarch it might seem laughable.

They did all of these schemes and this power struggle, thinking about who should they side with, thinking about the political implication, thinking of Death Monarch thoughts and tries to guess his thoughts.

Sometimes, the things he did not have some larger plan. Sometimes, he just did thing because he wanted to. But those below him always like to ascribe things that have no meaning

So, that even things and deeds that have no meanings suddenly become something that has some secret meaning.

They try to think and tries to guess his thoughts. And in a way, that is why this conflict happens.

Both Sina and Wang Jian dares to do this war because they both think that they have guess his thoughts.

If Azief wanted to stop this war, it would be very easy. Just his presence would stop this war. At that time, whether they were willing or not, they have to put down their weapons. Because whether it is Sasha or Wang Jian both of them wage this war using him as the justification.

And as long as he appears, that justification disappears.

However, would this stop this matter permanently?

those who sits at the hight seats understand one things

Even if he stopped the war, the contradiction is still there. It is like a parent stopping the elder brother from disciplining the younger brother

Today you stopped them with a scolding. You scold them both.

You even glares at them and in front of you, they did stop

But you did not solve the fundamental difference and contradiction.

And instead of fighting openly in front of you, when you are not there to judge, they would use scheme and fight against each other in secret

And this is even more dangerous. Because a secret battle sometimes could not help but spirals out of control

And before you know it, things that could have been rectified have not been rectified and before you know it you arrive at a point of no return

So, what happens when you force them to fight battle in secret is that these people would simply hold deep resentment in their hearts. Once the father is not there, those resentment would erupt and it would erupt even more explosively.

In such a high-tension situation, the eyes of the world are focused on Adern, the capital city of Pandemonium

They could not help it.

Right now, because Pandemonium is focused in this war, the barrier block everyone from coming in. Sasha was the one that activated the formation.

Other than those who hold pandemonium ID, others could not enter. They could enter the port cities and enter the peripheral lands. But if they wanted to enter further, they would find themselves being expelled by the power of time and space.

It is the same kind of formation used in Untainted Land. If you reached that barrier and do not have Pandemonium ID, you would suddenly be transported back to your previous position.

It is for this reason that no foreign actors that wanted to enter could not enter. Those who are already in Pandemonium however is excluded from this. There are spies of the six great powers in Pandemonium when this war happens so they were not expelled out.

After all, they are many more of Pandemonium people that did not have Pandemonium ID. It is just for coming in.

Sasha uses the formation because she worries any of the six great powers would find an excused to send an army to Pandemonium

And she might also be worried that Wang Jian would seek foreign aid.

After all, Wang Jian has many extensive connection outside of Pandemonium.

Sasha might have networks in the intelligence world but she did not have network with leaders of powerful organization

Because everyone fears her. Wang Jian had moulded himself to an image of an honourable and loyal general. For rulers, they want subordinate like this.

But Sasha?

Sasha is a spy. A master spy at that. No one likes being in a room with someone whose intention is always to uncover your true nature.

And no one like to be in a room with someone who knows all of your secret. And that is what Sasha is to many people.

However, Sasha is not without friends and allies.

A great spy must have networks. And while she no longer does the frontline works, the fact remains that before she became regent, she is the head of the intelligence agency of Pandemonium

She knows many secrets and some of these secrets would not be given to her if she did not have allies and friends

she also knows a few powerful people in the world. But she doubts any one of them would help her

So, it is better to just shut it off, secluding Pandemonium from the rest of the world during the duration of this war

One wonders what the other world powers would do.

Would they now enter this conflict? Will they do it to gain some advantage with the new ruling party of Pandemonium?

Or are they waiting for Death Monarch to come?

The common people could only speculate.

They could not understand why these world powers that usually would pounce every time Death Monarch or his faction experience weakness did not pounce this time

Some is still looking at the sky, hoping Death Monarch would arrive to neutralize this charge situation.

Everyone wonders about what will happen after the war ended.

And while the whole world is looking at the capital, on other parts of Pandemonium, brutal battle is happening all over.

Because when these two people wages war, the faction and interest behind these two also wages war against each other

They are no longer just two people who don’t like each other , fighting each other.

By now, they are like a symbol of two forces.

The central government and the lords and kings.

they are symbol of many things.
