Chapter 1527 Emperor Barton (II)
After Hans left, Patton III turned around and ran to a room on the top floor of the castle.
Sensing the arrival of Patton III, a figure in the room slowly opened his eyes, then picked up the mask on the table beside him and put it on his face.
"Come in."
After getting permission, Patton III pushed the door open nervously.
Looking at the figure sitting inside, he respectfully called out "Godfather".
Royal Mage Jabbar was the Chosen One summoned from the altar of the old gods discovered during the reign of Barton II.
After Patton II passed away, the Queen manipulated Jabbar to adopt Patton III as his "godson", or in other words, his godson.
In this way, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Patton III were tied together.
Relying on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's strength to intimidate the major families, the mediocre Patton III was able to sit firmly on the throne.
At that time, many powerful families believed that Jabbar wanted to "use the emperor to control the princes" and support Patton III as a puppet emperor.
Because that's what they think.
However, what no one expected was that Jabbar did not do so.
The only thing he did was to ensure the imperial power of Patton III. After that, his main task every day was to meditate and practice, and he rarely even showed up in public.
For a moment, they really didn't know whether Jabbar was loyal to the Patton royal family or whether he really had no desire for power.
Later, Hans Blazer, who was promoted by Patton III, became their biggest rival! Then the current situation was formed, which made the major families feel very complicated.
Barton III found Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at this time and quickly told him everything that had happened recently.
"Godfather, what do you think about this?"
“…”
Listening to Barton III's story, Jabbar frowned unconsciously.
He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen during the time he was in seclusion for cultivation.
Although it cannot be confirmed at this stage that the entire fleet led by the Governor of the North Sea has been killed, the situation is obviously not optimistic.
"Hans Blazer's handling of the situation is fine. There have been many accidents in the North Sea. The most important thing right now is to gather the greatest force and ensure that we can defeat the enemy without any mistakes!"
At this point, Jabbar hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke again.
"Since the Royal Fleet is about to go out, I will also go with the Royal Fleet in this operation!"
As a time traveler, Jabeur can be said to be a relatively sober person. He knows that he is not cut out for governing, but he has an outstanding talent in practicing magic.
Therefore, he did not try to seize power by force, nor did he have any interest in becoming emperor. Instead, he focused on improving his own strength.
According to his thinking, as long as he is strong enough, coupled with his status as the godfather of Patton III, his position is as stable as Mount Tai, and whoever talks to him must think twice before speaking to him? He just wants to focus on not caring about other things and just sit back and relax.
From this point of view, he lives a fairly easy and comfortable life.
However, Jabbar was also a smart man. He knew that if something happened to the Patton Empire, his comfortable days of sleeping soundly would probably be gone forever.
Therefore, when he is required to take action, he is not vague at all.
Patton III was also very happy when he heard this.
"It would be great if Godfather is willing to help! I will go and gather representatives from each family to discuss the matter."
Although Patton III was a mediocre person, he was still very proactive when asked to do something. At least he was not a procrastinating person.
Even if the patriarchs of the various families in the Barton Empire are not all in the royal capital, they usually have representatives arranged here to be on standby at all times.
Now that they had received the order from Patton III, they all gathered in the castle the next morning to discuss the matter.
Each family has its own intelligence network everywhere, and they had already learned of this information long before Patton III summoned them to discuss the matter.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that the situation at the border is not good.
They would definitely send troops, but before they did, they obviously didn't mind first severely striking down the faction headed by Hans and the Governor of the North Sea! "This time, the North Sea Fleet was almost completely destroyed, and the East Sea Fleet and the West Sea Fleet that came to support it were also implicated. Important communication equipment was also lost. In the past ten years, our Patton Empire has never suffered such a heavy loss! Someone must be held accountable for this!"
In the castle's meeting room, the family representative behind the East China Sea Fleet slammed the table and took the lead in launching an attack.
Considering that Patton III was still present, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this action was extremely disrespectful.
But the representatives of various families did not take it seriously at this moment. The fundamental reason was that they did not take Patton III seriously at all.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly excluded the East China Sea Fleet and the West China Sea Fleet. It was almost self-evident who this accountability was directed at.
Hans, who was mentally prepared for this, remained expressionless throughout.
"At this stage, the fleet led by the North Sea Governor Harald is just missing, which does not mean they have been completely destroyed. The most urgent thing right now is to assemble a larger fleet and launch an operation under the condition of ensuring that there is no risk of error!"
The current situation in the North Sea is there. To be honest, it should be the Governor of the North Sea's problem and he can completely shirk responsibility.
But Hans knew clearly that the families headed by the Governor of the North Sea were the few families in the country that stood on the same front with him.
If he draws a line with the Governor of the North Sea at this moment, it would be equivalent to cutting off ties with these families, which would cause him to lose a lot of support, which is not what he wants to see.
With this as a premise, in this matter, facing the representatives of other parties who were determined to hold him accountable, it was difficult for Hans to gain the upper hand. He could only speak his mind realistically and wanted to skip this matter directly and talk about assembling fleet support.
However, how could those party representatives who had finally caught the opportunity let him go just like that?
Everyone was clamoring that someone must stand up and take responsibility for this matter first, otherwise there would be no need to talk about the rest.
In this situation, Patton III, who should have stepped forward to take charge of the situation, held a handkerchief in his hand, wiping his sweat anxiously, but he could do nothing.
In a way, it’s actually pretty magical.
After all, he is the emperor. Facing these actions of his subjects, there is no anger on his face. He just feels nervous and anxious because of the situation.
Faced with the aggressive party representatives, Hans' temper was obviously not so good, and the situation was about to get out of control.
At this moment, the air around them suddenly froze, and as the door of the conference room opened, a figure in a robe and a mask walked in slowly from outside.
At this moment, everyone fell silent, their eyes unconsciously falling on the figure that walked in.
This is the biggest reason why Barton III, who is so incompetent, can still sit firmly on the throne after so many years. The royal mage of their Barton Empire, Jabbar, has reached the level of a saint! (End of this chapter)
