Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101 - The Grand Assembly

A busy sight could be seen across the four peaks of the Frozen Kingdom as nobilities moved around rapidly, convening towards the huge hall at the center of King’s Crown for a Grand Assembly.

Many were apprehensive as they could see the signs of the full preparation of an all-out war, with battalions of mercenaries and adventurers being grouped with soldiers ready to move out.

The throngs of humans and beastmen usually packing the streets below the four peaks were oddly silent as the air seemed to become stifling and oppressive. The demons that everyone was talking about were arriving. How many of them would be able to survive through this?

The King’s voice would address the entire kingdom. Magical devices that passed the soundwaves from the floating King’s Crown all the way to the smallest niches of the Frozen Kingdom would get to hear the words of their ruler. The soldier, the mercenaries, adventures, and the common people would all be getting addressed.

In the large hall of King’s Crown, Roark was majestically sitting down on an extravagant white chair. Besides him were smaller but way less extravagant seats where two princes and a princess were sitting.

They were the only ones sitting in the hall, as the rest of the nobles and powerful figures were standing upright on the left and right sides, leaving a clear path in the middle. There were golden stairs leading down from where the Ruler of the Kingdom was sitting, where many guards could be seen spread out.

Among these guards were eight Battalion Commanders that let out the powerful aura of EPIC rank, standing on either side of the King with their weapons ready to be drawn at an instant.

King Roark looked at these collections of people and recalled the reports he continued to receive about the advancement of the Demon Legion as well their defense line that continued to be pushed back. His powerful voice rang out in the large hall, and also throughout the kingdom.

"The first thing I will discuss is the issue of succession, where the Ministers of Affairs will note down my words to be inviolable from this moment on."

Surprised looks were passed between the people at the mention of the succession of leadership. Wasn’t it already decided that Crown Prince Aeneas would be taking the crown after his father retired?

King Roark looked towards his oldest son, and well as his daughter before he continued speaking.

"Strike out the name of Aeneas Belmont as the next ruler of the Frozen Kingdom."

BOOM

Silence. Shock. Dumbfoundedness.

The ministers scrambled to pull out an old doc.u.ment as the nobles moved around in shock. Nobles looked towards the face of Crown Prince Aeneas, who had a calm look despite the huge bombshell that directly involved him. The question on their minds was, what had occurred with the prince to cause this, and how was he not phased by it currently?!

"My son has failed to show the proper judgment of a future ruler these past few years, and has lost his right because of it. The one to succeed me in the event of my retirement...or death, shall be Adelaide Belmont."

The nobles that did not think they could be more surprised received another shock, as one successor was named right after another was taken down. The king would not let them revel in their shock for long as one name was taken down by the ministers and another added in, where he continued speaking.

"Battalion Commanders! Swear fealty to the future ruler of the Frozen Kingdom!"

His powerful voice was addressed to the EPIC individuals that held the military power of the kingdom. They had risen together with the king, and were extremely loyal with bonds being closer to that of brothers. The eight EPIC individuals present nodded with impassive faces as they kneeled towards the icy face of Princess Adelaide.

BOOM!

Wild power flew out as the Battalion Commanders spoke imposingly.
