The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 531 - 220: 10 Days Later_2

They are completely unaware of this matter.

Or rather, they know that some of their members have dealings with the Evil God Church, and have probably realized that over the past year or two, these cults they’ve been funding for some shady activities are starting to get out of control.

But they never thought that these cultists have so much power and didn’t know when they actually corrupted a large number of nobles and began acting with them.

When this operation broke out, they almost went mad.

These days, it’s not that they haven’t taken any action, but all their attention has shifted to themselves.

They were almost scared to death when they started investigating.

A large number of cultists appeared within the families of every noble.

It was previously somewhat normal that they didn’t consider the lives of those commoners as lives.

But some actions were done that even made these old nobles unable to bear, and they even found a large number of traces of Evil God worship in various secret rooms at home.

The internal cleansing also cost them time and their respective power.

When the Kingdom’s chaos was suppressed.

These nobles who were cleaned out internally had to face one issue.

It seems that their power has been reduced a little too much compared to the past.

Just as he was thinking.

The Count Budelte in front of him looked at him and said solemnly, "Those... eastern nobles are coming to me to cry."

"Cry about what? Didn’t I tell them? We don’t have that much money to support them.

Moreover, hasn’t the front line already taken down their territories? Now what they should do is go back to their territories and do what they’re supposed to do." Dutel said.

This past year, too many things have distracted their attention, preventing them from anticipating the actions of the cultists.

The most distracting among them were these nobles who lost land.

These land-losing nobles kept trying to influence their decisions and actions through lobbying with money and connections.

And yet, they couldn’t just ignore it.

Budelte said, "The problem lies here, their, their territories have been... occupied."

"What do you mean?" Dutel frowned, thinking things were not going well.

Being one of the figures in charge of the noble group, he is not a fool, and upon hearing this, he immediately thought of many things.

A noble with holdings is a true noble, which is also the source of their power.

"The Third Prince, the Holy Light Church, and that Night Watcher. After they reclaimed the Kingdom’s territory, they promoted some officials from among the commoners to start handling territorial affairs.

Some nobles went back to their territories only to find that they had already lost their power, and even much of their property was..."

Budelte explained in detail.

Upon listening, Dutel frowned and said, "Now, now we have no way. If you think we want to gather some forces to exert pressure, forget it.

Let’s talk about this after we’ve reclaimed all the territories, it’s not that severe, we can take our time.

Lawrence wants to become king, and he needs some support from us. If he dares to do such a thing, the entire noble class would be against him.

In that case, he won’t be able to become king.

As for the Holy Light Church, they have their rules, the Great Cathedral wouldn’t allow them to actually occupy land, even His Majesty the King wouldn’t permit it."

As for the Night Watcher and such, he ignored it.

In his view, it was just a means by the refugee count from the Eastern Wilderness to meddle in power.

The two discussed for a long time.

Budelte left here.

And his son, whom he had brought along, had been waiting outside.

The two of them rode in the carriage.

"Father, how did the discussion go?" his son asked.

Budelte took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at his eldest son.

His son has talent, quick-thinking, and a knack for Magic.

In his eyes, he is already a relatively perfect successor, especially compared to other noble heirs during this period.

Having already endured hardships from the Evil God and the Blood Race, his heir would surely not fall into the embrace of the Evil God.

He sighed slightly.

He said, "Durte is already old, he underestimates the chaos caused by those nobles this time. He still doesn’t know enough about the world’s power and underestimates the Holy Light Church’s attack on the cultists.

The Holy Light Church has been waiting for this moment a long time, and our Third Prince is not some timid sheep, the ambition in his eyes cannot be hidden.

As for that unfamiliar Night Watcher, I have seen their intelligence, and I have acquired more information from other sources.

This is not some trivial organization, they are even more proactive than the Holy Light Church, and have no shackles.

His Majesty the King tacitly approved these matters, and our Third Prince is also aware of them.

The nobility of this country is finished."

In the end, Budelte concluded.

Hearing this conclusion, his son beside him couldn’t help but widen his eyes and said, "Father, aren’t you thinking too seriously?"

"No." Budelte shook his head, "It’s not serious at all."

Budelte had always had some of his own information channels, and his news could be considered quite well-connected.

During this time, he has also been intensively engaging with various noble forces, even secretly visiting those merchants.
