Chapter 522: Chapter 337: Declaration of War

Following the assassination of King Raha, the incident sent shockwaves throughout Siam.

The citizens were in an uproar, clamoring for the culprit to be caught.

The upper echelons, apart from stabilizing the situation, were also embroiled in a struggle for power and profit.

It’s known that King Raha had a total of 14 princes. With his sudden death and no designated successor, the consequences are evident.

The princes all saw their chance, especially the Second Prince and Fifth Prince, who were the most favored by King Raha, and the Eldest Prince, who held a special status; they all felt their opportunity to ascend had come.

The Siam elite also began to take sides, throwing their support behind the candidate they pledged allegiance to and courting military backing.

This turmoil in Siam lasted for an entire week, and after several bloody conflicts, the Fourth Prince Pupeng, usually inconspicuous, successfully ascended to the throne and became the new King of Siam.

During his ascent, his rivals either were bought off or died mysteriously at home, and after many key figures defected, he emerged as the ultimate victor. He conducted a purge of the losers and replaced the high-ranking officials with those loyal to him.

A week later, on November 20th.

It was on this day, under the flashing lights of countless media cameras and in the presence of scores of high-ranking officials, that Pupeng officially received the Dragon Seal Staff, the symbol of the supreme authority of the Siam King, during the accession ceremony at the Grand Palace.

Having done all this, Pupeng stood in front of the microphone, facing the ample media cameras and addressing the live broadcast cameras, he delivered a nationwide televised speech.

“I am your new King, Pupeng! Before this, your King was my father, but on the night of the Water Lantern Festival, he was subjected to a premeditated, despicable and shameless assassination…”

At forty-three years old, Pupeng’s face was stricken with grief, his fists clenched tightly, and tears streamed down his cheeks.

“My father was King for thirty years, dedicating his life to the development of Siam, tirelessly working for the betterment of the country. He should have had a well-deserved conclusion to his life.

But the insidious and vile enemies assassinated him. They feared our further development, feared that our progress would threaten them, and were envious of the economic achievements Siam had made.

The enemies, after a week of investigation, we have pinpointed them.

On the night of the assassination, the enemies came prepared; the assassins were well-trained, bearing the hallmarks of military training.

The most crucial point as to why these assassins could carry out their deed is because they were all Super Soldiers.”

When Pupeng spoke this last sentence, the media below immediately erupted into chaos.

Many domestic and international journalists widened their eyes, sensing a major story, their gazes growing fervent.

Who in the world doesn’t know that the Super Soldiers are trained by the Jieke Group?

They have established their valor in multiple wars; though not as fearsome as the ace troop Steel Camp, they are still a formidable force to be respected.

With their precise marksmanship, extraordinary physical condition, and sharp senses, they are like a sharp knife on the battlefield, often the first to tear open the enemy’s defenses, inflicting great psychological stress and casualties on the enemy.

Now that Pupeng has personally declared the identity of the assassins who killed the Old King Raha at the Grand Palace during the Water Lantern Festival as Super Soldiers, the implications are self-evident.

“I am not making baseless claims. Now please watch the screen behind me; this is the surveillance video retrieved from the night of the assassination for everyone to witness.”

Pupeng gestured grandly, and the video began to play on site. It was also broadcast to countless viewers waiting in front of their televisions via live media.

The video clearly recorded the events of the assassination night.

Though it was nighttime, the Grand Palace was brightly lit. The surveillance footage showed the attackers moving with agility well beyond that of ordinary individuals, their marksmanship deadly accurate, a few men overpowering dozens, and they also brutally killed the innocent civilians on the scene, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Anyone could tell from seeing this video that those capable of this feat were definitely not ordinary people; it’s likely that only the ‘Super Soldiers’ trained by the Jieke Group possessed such formidable combat abilities. Even the most elite of trained commandos could not surpass the natural limits of humans.

Yet Super Soldiers were different; they had broken the boundaries of the human body, making this feat entirely feasible.

After watching the video, the domestic and international journalists at the scene gasped in shock.

The Siamese people watching on their television sets at home felt a surge of anger rise within them, and curses towards the Jieke Group could be heard nonstop.

Pupeng adjusted the microphone, his eyes flashing with fury, and with a raised fist he thunderously declared: “As everyone has seen, the assassins were sent by the Jieke Group. This wicked extremist organization, after conquering Chan Country, has once again set its sights on our Siam. They wish to enslave our citizens, plunder our accumulated wealth, and seize our lands.

The assassination of my father is their first step, and if we do not respond, this greedy force will gradually invade and colonize our country. I will not allow this, nor will the seventy million nationals of Siam allow this heinous act.

We will answer the Jieke Group with blood and bullets. Blood for blood—if the Jieke Group does not give us an explanation, then we will use war to avenge my father and reclaim the dignity that belongs to us Siam.”
