Chapter 254 - HIS DIFFICULTIES (1/2)

The moment people know his weakness; Aero could predict the chaos that would happen to the world.

It is because of that some of his behaviors and actions seems odd to people.

After all, some people wondered, why did Aero of the East, acknowledge by the world to kill forty thousand men by his lonesome rarely enter battlefield himself, preferring to strategize from the Capital?

People wonder why not just send the Chancellor to fight one wing of the enemy army and the other could be sent attacking the other?

Or better yet, send him to fight the army of the other kingdom by his lonesome. Just by sending him to a capital city, Aero could charge through the royal city and capture the king.

Aero could be considered a one-man army and his arrival into any hostile royal city could be considered a hostile action.

It would make Vanheim the most superpower nation in the continent.

There are many whispers that said many unflattering things about Aero action to not actively participate in any military battle.

Of course, there are also some people that defend Aero action.

Some scholars said this is a good behavior for the Chancellor who did not like spilling blood.

Others thought that the Chancellor did not want to expand his power in the military more than he should, les he creates a divide between him and the new ruler of Vanheim

While some of the other politician of the court believes the Chancellor doing such action to pressure the Emperor to give him even more power

After all, it is said that the Chancellor still did not forget how Prince James usurp his power to wage war against Niovar. Prince James won that battle but lost the throne.

There is also news and rumors that the Chancellor and the new Emperor did not see eye to eye unlike the relationship between the former Emperor and the Chancellor.

Emperor Edward did not issue any military orders since his forces have taken the Holy Capital and to some people, they believe that the Chancellor was not entirely pleased with such inactions.

Everyone knows that the former Emperor George and the Chancellor was the model ruler and minister.

Their relationship is envied by all kings and minister all over the continent. During Emperor George reign, Emperor George did not distrust his Chancellor even a bit.

Aero said that the Emperor, do not use people he does not trust and do not distrust the people he used

And the Chancellor repay the Emperor trust by elevating Vanheim over all the other nations, protecting the nation from a two pronged invasion, planning the annexation of Vetten, opening the borders between Nairhell and Vanheim and promoting economic reforms that enables the Empire to prosper and grow as it did now.

The relationship between the two is clearly intriguing.

While the Emperor is the superior of the Chancellor, everyone knows that the former Emperor treated the Chancellor like his teacher and respected him greatly.

It is for that reason; the Chancellor holds so much power in the Imperial court which is probably why such rumors surfaces.

Some other people said that the Chancellor loves the common people and detest war in general and think about the common people plight thus he rarely participate in the war unless it concerns with the empire safety and defense

Some people even said that the Chancellor did not want to come out personally because he did not want to incite a war between the Three Great Pillars.

After all, if he comes out, then Zeus would also come out to counter him. And if those two comes out and begun fighting each other, that one in the South would also come out.

Zeus while he could not kill Aero by himself, that does not mean he doesn't have the way to kill him.

After all, if he did not have a way to kill Aero, why would Aero be so humble during the Feast of the Western Gate?

And Arianna? She still remains a mystery and her holy power is not something Aero could ever underestimate.

She is an Apostle of the Church, the defender of the Faith. But Eric was the only one that don't believe that Aero is that generous or an altruist.

That is why Eric believes that Aero had a weakness that forces him to not be so active in warfare.

And that is why Aero admire Eric. Even no, when he is feeling frustrated and angry, he could not erase the admiration he felt for his fellow rival

All of this and the one before, all of this traps and schemes were all a ruse, a diversion to hide his true intent which is to know Aero weakness. And Aero also knows it.

This is why he is rushing and why his saber did not stop swinging.

If this is the welcoming committee, he received in the north point he could not wait to see the kind of responses he would receive in the last point of the formation.
