Chapter 853: Elder Prince Arshavin’s Decision (2/2)

When Diarra just spoke, he mentioned the incident of Fei barging into St. Petersburg, trying to instigate the conflict intentionally. It was clear that he wanted to draw out the anger in Arshavin and punish these hot-blooded young military officers.

This move was vicious and cruel.

For a moment, everyone looked at this prince who had been sitting here but didn’t voice his opinion.

Right now, the Elder Prince’s status in the Imperial Military Headquarters was supreme.

Although he wasn’t confirmed as the successor of the throne, he still had control over [Iron Blood Legion], the No.1 Legion of Zenit that was known to be invincible. Also, he could move five out of the ten main battle legions, and he was in charge of training the new recruits and putting together the new legions. Therefore, he had control over more than half of the soldiers of Zenit.

With his high status and military talent, Arshavin was the most influential figure in the Imperial Military Headquarters without a doubt. In the last while, whatever Arshavin said was taken as the final decision.

Right now, the young military officers looked angry yet helpless.

Zenit’s God of War was the pride of the empire, and almost all military officers looked up to him. However, there was the irresolvable resentment between him and the King of Chambord. From the perspective of human psychology, people could foresee the Elder Prince’s decision.

Nobles like Andrew Semak and Diarra already couldn’t hide their smiles; everything was within their calculations.

This was an excellent opportunity for them to show the Elder Prince their loyalty.

However, Arshavin who had been silent all along raised his head slowly, and he observed Diarra with a light flashing in his eyes like a sharp knife. When this vicious poisonous snake felt uncomfortable, Arshavin said lightly, “You don’t deserve to appear in an honorable and glorious place such as the Imperial Military Headquarters!”

“Ah?” Diarra and Semak couldn’t understand the situation for a moment, and they were stunned, not knowing what to do.

“Ever since the establishment of Zenit, there are only generals who died on the battlefields and no soldiers who submitted under power!”

Arshavin fluttered his cape as he stood up, and he continued to speak as his body that wasn’t too muscular emitted a majestic presence.

“The King of Chambord is the Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit. Even if he needs to be punished, it should be the decision of the Royal Family. When is it others’ turn to point their fingers? D’Alessandro is the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint? So what? Zenit has close to one million soldiers, and we are giant dragons and ferocious lions. We will just battle it out tomorrow morning!”

What he said instantly excited the people in the room.

At this moment, Zenit’s God of War’s not-so-impressive body released an unparalleled brilliance. Without needing additional effects, the few words that he said were enough to stun people. At that moment, the people who were hesitating felt guilty and ashamed.

“Your Highness, you… then the King of Chambord… you guys…” Diarra didn’t expect the Elder Prince to react like this.

In fact, before Arshavin spoke, no one anticipated this.

“Pass my order! Arrest Semak and Diarra! They are charged with treason, and they shall be executed by hanging. After they die, they shall be decapitated to deter others!” the Elder Prince said murderously without hesitation, and his face was cold and chilly like a demonic god.

Then, a series of uniform footsteps sounded, and teams of soldiers in black uniform armor rushed into the meeting room like a flood.

Surprising to everyone, these were the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion]. The people in the meeting had no idea when, but the guards were replaced by them.

Right now, the elite soldiers had surrounded the meeting room with weapons raised, and they looked murderous as if they were ready to kill.

Something big was about to happen!

“Could it be that the Elder Prince… want to launch a rebellion? How dare he surround the Imperial Military Headquarters with his soldiers?” people thought to themselves.

“No! Your Highness! Forgive us!”

“AH! You can’t kill me! Although you are a prince of Zenit, you don’t have the power to kill me…”

Diarra and Semak shrieked.

However, since it was close, we will still keep up the 8 chapters per week schedule for this month of June.]
