Kober's eyes widened as he heard the news. In this age, when a ssage from an A.I. Chip could take less than a second to reach the other corner of the Sector, stopping such shocking news from spreading was nothing short of incredible.
However, that was not the most crucial part. Kober knew the Scarlet King was not a saint, as he broadcasted the slaughter of hundreds of thousands for all the Godlsayer Humankind to see, and without blinking an eye. Yet, he also spared millions and protected them from unjust prosecution, so he was definitely fair.
However, butchering the Golden Roc Duke and his family was simply too much, especially since they stated they were going through the States on a diplomatic mission. Since the massacre happened so fast, there was clearly no conversation, and the Scarlet Alliance went to the eting with a single goal.
Kober believed sothing like that could happen because the Golden Roc Duke was part of the Imperial Army and had remained in the Protheus Sector during the entirety of the war in the north, which ignited the wrath of the Scarlet Alliance.
"Even if the Golden Roc Duke did not march into battle, that was not necessarily his fault. After all, the Imperial Court redirected all forces to the other Sectors, and the man was just following orders. The Scarlet Alliance went too far with this. How can we trust soone that goes into a slaughter during a diplomatic mission."
Kober's face grew cold, but the Diamond Saint Duke shook his head as he sent a file to his son using their A.I. Chips.
"Do not be too quick to make judgnts, son. Here, look at this."
Kober was surprised by the file his father sent him. As he went through it, he saw a detailed target package related to the Golden Roc Duke.
There was clear evidence of the many cris the man had committed throughout his life, many of which disgusted Kober. Still, the intel focused on the last years, detailing clearly how the man did not even bother trying to answer his responsibilities as a general of the Imperial Army, marching to the north.
If that was not enough, after learning about the Scarlet Ambassadors going through the Sector and requesting the leader to either ally with them or leave the Protheus Sector, the Golden Roc General began to mobilize his troops, but not to prepare to fight. They were trying to mobilize the entire Golden Roc State population into their castle, and it seed they were preparing for a siege.
It was easy for Kober to understand that the Golden Roc Duke was ready to use those people as human shields, forcing the Scarlet Alliance to leave them alone unless they were prepared to incur severe collateral casualties.
There was no other way to describe the Golden Roc General's maneuvers as cowardly and disgusting. The Scarlet Alliance realized that, due to their spies and intelligence network, they moved directly toward the Golden Roc State before the Golden Roc Duke could finish the preparations.
The last thing in the file was a video, and when Kober opened it, shock and dread appeared in his eyes. The video depicted the final mont of the Golden Roc Duke and how a young man forced him to see how his entire family was massacred in front of his eyes.
All those people who were butchered had a long list of cris that made them worthy of the death penalty, so there was technically no injustice in punishing them. That made it clear just how thorough the Scarlet Alliance was, as they left no soft spot that could be exploited.
Only after the will to live in the Golden Roc General faded did the young man send the signal, and his head rolled through the ground.
"The one you saw in the video orchestrating the execution is the sa one who discovered the plot of the Golden Roc Duke and sent that file. His na is Lurin Sinar. He is a young man from the north of the Collapsing Lightning Sector and an old friend of the Scarlet King.
He most likely obtained the position of Scarlet Ambassador out of favoritism, but by now, it is clear that he had more than enough skills to handle the responsibility.
I am not the only one who received this ssage. I spoke with many of the States' leaders, and it was also sent to them. There is no ssage in the file, but it is clearly a ssage for all of us to understand what will happen if we try to play gas with the Scarlet Alliance.
Due to his bloodthirsty nature, people have already given him the title of Bloodshed Ambassador. Although he is just a Wave King, if you look down on him, you will surely regret it, son."
His father's voice drew Kober's attention back to reality, and he nodded solemnly. As for why this file was not sent to him, it was clear that the Bloodshed Ambassador did not see him as the true leader of the Diamond Saint Sector.
Although it would be easy to take that as an offense, Kober knew it was the truth. No matter how many concessions or propositions he might accept, his father would have the last word. The Bloodshed Ambassador must have known that if the Diamond Saint Duke received the file, this one would co to the Protheus Sector in person.
"We must be very careful with anything related to the Scar King, as his power and brutality are not sothing we can bear. Anyway, let's not make them wait any longer and invite them in."
Shock appeared in Kober as he heard that and saw his father sit on the throne, only for four people to appear at the entrance of the throne room. His eyes widened as he understood that the group had arrived a while ago and were simply waiting for the father and son discussion to end.
