Chapter 1819: Chapter 1817 The Army of the Blue Star Kingdom Retreats

While Peter Brown was here pondering his future, a piece of news came back.

"Blue Star Kingdom’s Army has withdrawn?" Peter Brown looked at Philips Williams.

"Your Highness, it is indeed a withdrawal."

"The entire Army has withdrawn?" Peter Brown asked with some disbelief.

"Your Highness, according to the intelligence we have obtained, after they defeated Prince Harvey’s Army and took him captive, they also defeated Prince Edward, whose life and death are now unknown. Under such circumstances, no one knows why, but they suddenly withdrew."

Peter Brown was somewhat at a loss and began to contemplate deeply.

"Gather everyone to discuss this," said Peter Brown. After all, he didn’t know much about the affairs of the Divine Realm and decided it would be wise to listen to everyone’s opinions.

Soon, several key Generals gathered in a Conference Hall.

Everyone was sitting cross-legged there, and Peter Brown recounted the situation of the Blue Star Kingdom’s troop withdrawal. When he finished, he said, "You all are experienced, help me analyze this, what exactly is the situation?"

Caleb Henderson laughed and said, "Your Highness, this matter is very clear, and I believe that Prince Harvey will be returned soon."

"Oh, explain, what is the situation?"

Caleb Henderson said, "Your Majesty is currently facing a great tribulation, and the reason lies here."

Everyone seemed to have an air of understanding.

But Peter Brown was still confused.

Caleb Henderson continued, "Your Highness, ever since the Emperor faces the great tribulation, our Purpolia Kingdom has been plagued with internal and external troubles, for one reason—people do not have faith in His Majesty’s ability to overcome the tribulation!"

Peter Brown nodded slightly; that seemed to be a fair point, and indeed, nobody was really hopeful, not even Peter Brown himself after understanding the situation, was convinced that the Emperor could successfully cross the tribulation.

"If that’s the case, then why did they withdraw their troops?" Peter Brown was still confused.

Caleb Henderson seriously said, "Your Highness, if a twenty-star rank master were to face a tribulation, the Heavenly Disaster would be extremely fierce. Suppose—and I mean, what if the Emperor, in a fit of rage, decided to head to the Star Kingdom’s capital to undergo the tribulation, what would be the outcome?"

So that was it!

Now Peter Brown began to understand some of it; the Blue Star Kingdom at this time only wanted to take advantage and did not wish to overly provoke the Emperor of the Purpolia Kingdom.

"Your Highness, if the Emperor resolved to destroy a kingdom, it could truly be done. Therefore, when faced with such situations, everyone tends to yield as much as possible to avoid excessive provocation."

"The Father Emperor seems to have made a decision, to enter a Sect." This matter was not a secret anymore, so Peter Brown plainly stated it.

"That makes even more sense. When an emperor enters a Sect, the Sect will acquiesce to some of the emperor’s demands. If we pushed the Blue Star Kingdom too far, and His Majesty proposed the destruction of their nation, and with a certain price paid, it is likely that the Blue Star Kingdom would be made to suffer. By now, all other nations’ armies should have withdrawn, right?"

Peter Brown looked at Philips Williams.

Philips Williams nodded at Peter Brown and said, "Your Highness, we have just received intelligence from various places, and indeed, the other nations have truly withdrawn their troops."

Caleb Henderson then said, "As expected, it must be that the Emperor’s tribulation is near."

"Announcement, the Imperial Edict has arrived."

Just then, an announcement sounded.

When Peter Brown led everyone to receive it, this time it was a younger eunuch leading the group.

"Prince Winfield Winchester, receive the Edict."

The shrill Voice came over.

"Subject Winfield Winchester receives the Edict."

The young eunuch immediately read the Edict.

After receiving the Imperial Edict, Peter Brown had Philips Williams attend to the eunuch while he led everyone back to the Conference Hall.

The message of the Edict was clear: Prince Harvey was to put military affairs in order then proceed to King’s City to meet with the Emperor.

Having sat down, Caleb Henderson said with concern, "Your Highness, if it’s possible not to go, I suggest you should refrain from doing so."

Austin Hall also spoke with a grave expression, "Your Highness, this is a dangerous matter. If the Emperor suffers any mishap, Your Highness will be in jeopardy!"

It was clear to everyone that the Wind and Thunder Army existed mainly because of Prince Harvey, Prince Harvey. If something happened to Prince Harvey, the Army would surely fall apart.

Peter Brown then looked around at everyone and said, "Speak freely, I will not blame you."

With Peter Brown’s reassurance, the discussion became even more lively.

Austin Hall said, "Your Highness, it’s quite clear that although Prince Samuel has been deposed, his power remains formidable. Prince Frank might not be the crowned prince, but he has many skilled and capable people around him, and with his temperament, he is bound to clash with Prince Samuel. If both parties go to war, you will have to choose sides, and if you choose poorly, the consequences are unpredictable."

Caleb Henderson said, "Your Highness, after all, we once suffered a defeat at the beginning of this whole affair, and many within the imperial court speak of it. Not to mention, our deployment of troops to provide assistance will also be criticized, deemed as inadequate by some, and if there is a coalition against Your Highness, it will be highly disadvantageous."

Peter Brown was aware of this situation, but he was even more conscious that if he did not go, he would be abandoning his duty and then could not compete for anything further. More so, if he stayed away, it was very likely he would be labeled a traitor, and his Army would lose its support, and maintaining a moral high ground was important in the Divine Realm. With his current low level of cultivation, it would be impossible to do anything.

Of course, Peter Brown had another thought, which was to enter the Royal Family’s Collection of Books to study Cultivation Techniques. Perhaps he could find a solution for his failing Body Refining Technique, which would increase his chances of survival.

After thinking these things through, Peter Brown asked, "Tell me what would happen if I don’t go?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Peter Brown spoke again, "All the princes are present. At such a crucial time for the Father Emperor, those who do not attend will face severe consequences. So, even if there are mountains of blades and seas of flames ahead, I must go. That is settled. Let no one speak of not attending any further. What we need to discuss now is how I will successfully arrive there and return safely."

Caleb Henderson thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, another important issue—ensuring safety on the way for the prince—is very challenging; there is no guarantee against being attacked."

Peter Brown nodded and said, "Therefore, we must carefully consider this matter."
