The Medallion

Chapter 1089 He Seemed To Be Crazy

"So does our Ji Clan." At this moment, a calm voice sounded from the entrance, attracting everyone's attention. And all the people were stunned to see that some people had just entered the square.

"Father!" Sabina exclaimed as soon as she saw who had just arrived.

They were the leaders of the Ji Clan, with Elvis in front of them.

"Elvis, what are you doing here? Aren't you forgetting that I have something you cherish?" Alston remarked insidiously, staring Elvis down, as his face darkened menacingly.

"Oh, Alston! I forgot to tell you that I prepared a gift for you before I came here." Rocky smiled as he spoke, a sharp cat-like smirk that predicted nothing well for his brother.

At this moment, a man appeared beside Alston and whispered a few words to him. The man seemed like he was in a hurry, and the more they spoke, the more Alston's face reddened in anger. At last, he finally had enough and kicked the man away, as he glared at Rocky hatefully. He was probably just finding out that they had rescued Flint from Wal City, and now, he had nothing more to use to threaten the Ji Clan.

"From now on, our Ji Clan will firmly support Prince Basil," Elvis announced in public.

Everyone present was shocked when they heard that even the Ji Clan was on Rocky's side.

"Our Lan Clan has also decided to support Prince Basil." Mia also decided to make her position clear. She was the first daughter of the Lan Clan, one of the major clans in the Holy Dragon Empire that controlled the economic lifeline of the Holy Dragon Empire.

After that, many representatives of the clans expressed their support for Prince Basil.

However, in the past six months, Alston had been drawing people over to his side through all kinds of methods. Therefore, even if Rocky had the support of the two legions and the big clans like the Ji Clan and the Lan Clan of the Holy Dragon Empire, the two of them were still evenly matched.

Besides, Alston had the support of the whole royal family, so the Ximen Clan's attitude was now the most crucial vote.

"It seems that we don't have enough support." Marcia's eyes narrowed, and she immediately looked at Bryant. 'If Bryant is willing to support Prince Basil, it will play a decisive role, ' Marcia thought.

Alston also came up to the same conclusion, and he was now staring at Bryant as well.

Seeing that Alston and Rocky were in a stalemate, Bryant hesitated to side with either of them. Even though he preferred to side with Prince Basil, he had to consider the relationship between the Ximen Clan and the royal family. As such, Bryant couldn't easily show his support for Prince Basil. Of course, he didn't want to side with Alston either.

Therefore, Bryant decided not to reveal his choice, and he decided that he would just wait first and see what would happen next.

As a result, the two sides, led by Alston and Rocky, remained in a stalemate.

At this moment, several bearers suddenly arrived, carrying a palanquin into the square. The bearers were spirit manipulators, while the palanquin was covered with a semitransparent curtain, so they could only see a delicate figure sitting inside.

It was not until the bearers were directly in front of the crowd that they put down the palanquin. Then, a delicate and pale hand reached out and lifted the curtain, and a stunning woman came out.

Many people present gasped in surprise when they laid eyes on the woman.

"Isn't she the most famous courtesan of the Fragrance House?"

"Yes. I wonder why she came here..."

"Did the chief of the Ximen Clan invite her here to entertain the guests?"

For a moment, the whole square was in an uproar because of the woman's sudden appearance.

"Why is Laney here?" Rocky immediately looked at Marcia when he saw Laney.

Marcia shook her head and shrugged, indicating that this wasn't part of her plan either.

"I don't think it's a bad thing that she's here," Lucilla interjected quietly.

"I'm Laney. I'm sure many of you already know me. But today, I'm not here as the most famous courtesan of the Fragrance House, but as the special envoy of the Timber Deity Empire," Laney said, exposing her identity with no hesitation.

"Special envoy of the Timber Deity Empire?" Hearing this, all the people present were even more surprised.

"This is an imperial edict from the Timber Deity Empire. It carries the order issued by the new emperor, who has just inherited the throne. I'll read it in public now," Laney stated as she took out an imperial edict made of superior materials from her sleeve. She began reading in a clear and sweet voice, "Alston, the current acting emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, listen carefully. You should abdicate within three days. If you don't, I will send one hundred thousand troops of the Timber Deity Empire to the Gehenna Border, and we will launch an attack in three days. I also want to tell the Holy Dragon Empire that if Prince Basil ascends the throne, the Timber Deity Empire is willing to ally with the Holy Dragon Empire, and we will be on friendly terms in return for Prince Basil's saving my life!"

After Laney finished reading, the whole square fell into a deathly silence again. Everyone could understand what the imperial edict meant. However, none of them expected that even the new emperor of the Timber Deity Empire also supported Prince Basil. Moreover, if Alston didn't abdicate within three days, they were ready to attack the Holy Dragon Empire again!

However, the most terrible thing about it was that the Crimson Dragon Group that guarded the Gehenna Border was now under the control of Prince Basil. If Prince Basil wanted to deal with Alston, he would not have to do it himself. He could allow the troops of the Timber Deity Empire to enter the Holy Dragon Empire, and Alston would definitely become the target of public criticism. On the other hand, if Prince Basil ascended the throne, the Holy Dragon Empire would not be attacked. Instead, they could ally with the Timber Deity Empire, their most powerful enemy in the Wild Spirit Land.

Alston's eyes widened, and the expression on his face changed drastically.

"Woods has already inherited the throne?" Rocky was a little surprised himself. He didn't expect that Woods would become the emperor so soon. It was fortunate, though, as Woods' offer of help was quite timely. In this way, he had the support of many forces. And soon, even Alston, who had the help of the royal family, could momentarily lose all of his support. Moreover, if Alston clung to his position as the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire like a useless barnacle, he would be perceived negatively by the citizens of the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Alston, you've messed up the Holy Dragon Empire for half a year. If you keep doing this, you will bring ruin upon the Holy Dragon Empire! If you still have a conscience left in you, you'd better abdicate!" Marcia stated coldly.

"Ha-ha! You want me to abdicate? No way! I will never let you succeed. You are all traitors who want to rebel." Alston suddenly started laughing, looking more and more unhinged as he did.

Meanwhile, everyone looked at him in resignation and shook their heads in dismay, as it seemed that he had finally gone lost his marbles.
