Chapter 1791: Knowledge Brings Powers

?

Of course, as a citizen of Pandemonium they are still protected under the law he made

What it means was that they would no longer have any special privileges. But even after all of that, these two did not meddle in the matter of the government that much. They become more active, that is true, but it did not reach to the point where they have an influence in the court that much.

Even more so after their privileges is stripped away. So, it is a pleasant surprise to see them in Sasha office.

"Political intrigues would have amused me in the past" Azief thought to himself. He would think that this would be a critical moment in an alliance or a move that could turn everything apart.

But since Azief knows more about the world, and the Omniverse in general and with his rise of strength he did not feel that much when he sees this method of Sasha or Wang Jian.

The bleating of a thousand sheep could not match the impact of a lion roaring once!

Everything in Pandemonium, every single one of its conflicts today could be resolved by Azief showing himself.

Wang Jian loses the justification and Sasha loses her power. But, Azief knows that this is just treating the symptom and not treating the real illness.

These two people are stubborn. But they need to learn to work with each other. Sasha need to learn to trust people and Wang Jian needs to learn not to be too rigid.

But that is like trying to change someone personality.

Even if he nagged at them both, it is not like those two people would change after being nagged.

If being nagged would change people, then all the mothers in the world would not continue nagging their children until death.

People only change when something impactful happens to them.

Then their mindset, their demeanors and even their personality could change.

Azief sighed.

But just like before no one could hear his sigh

Azief come closer to the Immortal Couple trying to listen in to what they are saying.

It is quite eerie if you think about it.

Azief is there, not using any invisibility spell or invisibility device and he is just standing a few inches away from Sasha, Xu Cong and Lihua but no one even notices him

Azief could listen to them even if he did not come closer but maybe it is a mortal habit

When you wanted to hear someone far away from you, you either become silent or you come closer to them.

"We should deescalate the situation, Sasha" Xu Cong spoke. Azief nodded along

"Wang Jian could be negotiated with"

"I will not agree with what he wanted. And just because of that he instigated the Three Armies to march to the capital? Isn't this shows that the power of these kings and princes has become bloated?"

Lihua did not say anything but her face shows that she is clearly worried.

Xu Cong also did not want to say anything more.

A few second passes and then Xu Cong simply said

"And fighting the Three Armies is the solution? If Death Monarch returns and saw the things

you did, and the things that Wang Jian did, would he be happy?"

"Our lord gave the land for the princes to rule and they should listen to the central

government. Has my policy been unfavorable to them?"

"No, it did not. But you are weakening their power"

"And?"

Xu Cong seems frustrated.

Did Sasha not know? No, she probably knows. She is just being stubborn

Xu Cong sighed

"Weakening their powers makes them unable to respond to the problems in their region. And now, you even want to restrict their military power"

"This should the way. The power of the military has always been in the hands of Death Monarch. The central authority"

Xu Cong frowned.

Yes, the power has always belong to Death Monarch.

But at the same time, Death Monarch is very lax in managing these armies. Instead, he just trusted them to Wang Jian, Freya and Athena.

These three holds military powers and everyone knows that they would point their weapons to whichever direction that Death Monarch pointed.

However, they are also given the privilege of moving independently whether in pacifying rebellions, destroying nest of monsters or attacking enemy of the state.

The only time when Death Monarch input is needed is when they are clashing with other world powers or when they reached to an area that is designated as the forbidden zone.

Of course, the Pandemonium Law still exist and not even the general of Pandemonium could break the law.

Still, the army is quite independent from the central government.

No one thought of this as a problem.

Even the people of Pandemonium think nothing of this.

This alone shows the peculiarity of the military organization in Pandemonium compared to other world powers

The reason it works is because Death Monarch is the one holding the power. He could not care less even if Wang Jian has ten thousand more soldiers.

He is confident enough that he alone could suppress these three armies if he wanted to. And it is because of that no one thought too much about these general independent actions.

But Sasha wanted to retract back this privilege.

This was originally a privilege. But when privileges become a longstanding tradition, it becomes their right.

Xu Cong sighed again and shakes his head

"Did Wang Jian strikes you as someone who could rebel. You know as the rest of them know why they were given such leeway and benefit. It is not simply because Death Monarch did not care about them. Our lord may be lax in many things but his decision has wisdom in it" "The reason that they were given the military power in the first place is because the danger all over Pandemonium. If they have to wait the central authority to approve every deployment of troops, then things that should be resolved become unresolved. How could they be happy at this?"

Sasha snorted.

"I don't know about other world power but at least I am confident enough that communication all over Pandemonium could be maintained. As long as the threat is real, a second is all that is needed to relay the problem and for the approval to come down"

Xu Cong was about to say something but he held his tongue. Azief looking closely at Xu Cong

face smiles

he could guess what Xu Cong wanted to say

"What if you made the wrong decision and do not approve? What happens then?" this is probably the question that he wanted to say but dare not say

Then Sasha has a justification to attack the military faction in the court.

Azief look at them arguing about how to handle the situation and Azief shakes his head.

"It seems this discussion is going nowhere"

Just a few conversations and Azief could guess how this meeting would end

"Sasha is determined. She brought these two not for her to listen to different alternative. She

brought them here to pull them into her team"

Azief could guess what Sasha wanted to do.

Sasha always boasted that she understood Death Monarch the most. And Azief did not deny

this.

Most of the things that Sasha had done is always in line with what he wanted.

But just as much Sasha knows him, he also knows her.

She is not interested in listening to what Xu Cong or Lihua had to tell her.

She has her own plans and once she decided on her plan no one could stop her.

The only person that she lose to is Loki.

And him.

Other than that, Sasha fears no one in this world.

Why? Because Azief is quite sure in this world, there is no woman that have as much

information as she did.

Her little birds are everywhere all over the world and there is no place in this world she could

not infiltrate.

Azief is quite sure she has eyes and ears on all of the world powers and even all of the factions and even those guilds and sects all over the world.

She is the head of the most powerful intelligence agency in the world.

The prosperity of Pandemonium relies on Death Monarch but it is precisely because of this prosperity that Sasha could create such a titanic intelligence agency that spread all over the

world.

And from one of the plans, she once told him, she even planned to send spies o Other Worlds to gauge the reaction of these Other Worlds toward their Earth

She is even thinking of expanding the intelligence agency to spends multiple dimension and

parallel Earths.

And that was twenty years ago. Who knows how much she has accomplished in the twenty years he had not seen her?

Clearly, she has become even more powerful if she even has the confidence to provoke the

Three Armies at the same time.

Sasha is not someone who would act without having the confidence to win. In the past, she

was more reckless.

But the years has taught her to be more cautious

Unless the chance of winning is in the upper ninety percent, she would not take the chance

If she takes the chance, this mean she is confident she could win.

The more information she holds the more powerful she think she become.
