Chapter 222 Magic Network Project
It only took one night for the peace to be overturned, and the news of Caesar and the nobles' death spread throughout the empire.

It only took one night to suppress the chaos, at least for the capital. The moment the Winged Hussars entered the capital, no one in Belward dared to shout anymore.

The name of the traitor Adam Sovis spread throughout the empire. A large number of lords gathered their troops and prepared to enter the capital. Countless Caesar's illegitimate children were born among the people, and news of Caesar's romantic affairs spread in various places.

"Rebel, regicide, Lancelos, what do you think of these titles? Are they impressive?" Adam asked.

Lancelot bowed his head: "It's just some slanderous words, you don't have to take it to heart."

Adam laughed loudly and threw the intelligence in his hand onto the table. "No need to cover up for me. They are right. I was indeed the one who killed Caesar. I also have the ambition to destroy the empire."

"Now 90% of the people in the empire are calling for a crusade against me, 40 of them are inciting and lobbying, and only 10% are preparing food and gathering troops. What do you think they want? My head, or the throne? Or do they want both?"

Lancelos bowed his head and said, "I am willing to be your sword and kill those arrogant people."

"Don't worry, you are the trump cards, there is no reason for you to attack first," Adam comforted, "someone will fight against them."

The scarab in his hand flew out and turned into a long table. This time the knights came quickly, as if they were waiting to be summoned.

"No need to look. There will be no one in the empty seat." Adam looked at the only empty seat. "She has been killed by me. The seventh seat will now be held by the knight beside me, the commander of the Winged Hussars, Lancelos."

"First, I want to ask again if anyone wants to leave the parliament," Adam said. "After all, my current reputation as the King Slayer doesn't sound good. If you want to leave, then tell me now. I guarantee in the name of Adam Sovis that I won't reveal your identities."

No one spoke or moved, and someone even whistled.

"King Slayer? This is so cool! I like it!"

"Well, I'll give you one last chance. If you want to quit again, please consider the consequences," Adam said. "Gentlemen, I have already killed Caesar, and I don't intend to hide my ambitions. The empire is already in chaos. Your days of hiding are finally over. It's time to reveal your true colors!"

The knights put down their masks and looked at everyone present. Some exclaimed in surprise, while others had already guessed the answer and now that the mystery was revealed, they smiled in their hearts.

"Alright, alright, let's start the meeting now, rebels," Adam clapped his hands, "I know some of you lack loyalty and just want to see the empire suffer. I've given you the chance, so let's act now."

"Even if you want the throne, I won't mind. I will bring all my troops and fight you to the death. The winner takes all." Adam drew a circle with his hand. "But not now. I need a stable country, a loose but stable regime. If someone messes with me, I believe you should have heard of the deeds of the Jero Fortress. Currently, the portable teleportation array and winged cavalry are unique on the battlefield. Please relax and be rational."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"Semiel, you are responsible for the defense of the Wall of Sighs. You and the Winged Hussars who stay there should keep a close eye on the movements of the demons. Those ghosts will not miss this good opportunity." Adam began to call on his men.

"Ronnie, get the Scarab people moving. With so much money spent on the Chamber of Commerce's guards, there will always be a few who can be used. And the intelligence network you have built should always pay attention to the movements of the lords, so as to protect yourself first. If you encounter an insane lord who forcibly requisitions the Chamber of Commerce, just throw the financial resources to him, and he will spit it out later."

"Lancelos, build up the leadership system of the capital as soon as possible. This is our basic foundation." Adam waved his hand. "I know you can't do it, but there are many people in the capital who can. You can choose from the small nobles and commoners. If they can't do it, you can replace them. Now that the framework has been broken, it is time to build a new system. Ambitious people will emerge on their own." "Camille, I remember that you have a group of mountain people without identity. Let them go to Belward. I am very short of manpower now. Identity, status, money, I can give them everything they want!"

Finally, Adam stood up and stretched out his hands: "Gentlemen, I love war! Now, let's have a party!"

There was a burst of cheers from the audience. Some of them were people abandoned by the empire, foreigners, some were simply enemies, and some were people who were dissatisfied with the current situation of the empire. Now, a turbulent era has arrived!
"Praise Adam!"

"Praise the Regicide!"

"I will welcome the collapse of the empire with a grand opening ceremony!"

As a result, the lords who were ready to make a move soon found that there was chaos in their territories. Some of them were horse bandits running rampant and specifically harassing the garrison.

Some of them had their supplies stolen, while others were held tightly in their territories by the lords above.

And Adam, he was experimenting with his own magic.

"What do you think of my spell?" Adam said to Nephasius as he looked at the goblins who were hacking and smashing things in the field.

Nefasius looked puzzled: "What is this, a violent spell that can bless people?"

"Almost. The principle is similar. It affects the target's mind, arouses the target's emotions, and makes him lose his mind. At the same time, it removes the restrictions on the body. The magic power will greatly enhance the combat ability. There are no major problems except that it will attack indiscriminately and the body will become weak after the rage ends," Adam said.

"So what's the point of this?" Nephasius said. A bunch of mindless people killing each other?

Adam thought for a moment and said, "Since Berserk has an effect on goblins, do you think it can be applied to monsters controlled by demons? They are all monsters, so there shouldn't be much difference, right? Or maybe throw it into the human army?"

His thinking was very clear. Weakening the enemy was equivalent to strengthening himself. Monsters were already crazy, so adding a berserk spell would definitely be interesting.

Nefasius thought for a moment and said, "Monsters are naturally resistant to magic, and they also have certain benefits under the leadership of the demon clan. But we can give it a try. By the way, how is your research on the transplantation of magic channels going? I feel that the news can no longer be concealed. Duolong has already executed two apprentices who wanted to pass on the news to the outside world."

"It's okay. If you want to pass it on, just pass it on. Just help me improve it. I'm researching this to strengthen the bottom-level combat power and attract the attention of the mages." Adam said, "How are the sales of the Green Cloud Saw going?"

Nephasius was thinking about Adam's purpose, and answered casually: "Philis has made some improvements, and now the sales are good."

"That's good." Adam nodded.

'It's time to start the Magic Network Project'
