Chapter 1718: The Final Allotment
The African Alliance did not have a unifying figure or a protector figure that could stand up to protect all the interest of the Alliance
African Alliance do not lack heroes. All over Africa there are great talents. But these talents all fight for their own interest and they care about their own like and dislike
The world had changed but certain tribal hatred could not be forgotten. Past mass murder is repeated again
The oppressed now become the oppressor, not learning from past example.
People are blind to their own history.
Hence, they could not unite.
Because no one would willingly give their interest to other people just to satisfy public needs.
To have someone like that, it would require a virtuous person.
The thing is, politics is like a poisonous swamp for virtuous people. They could not last long because politics is not for sane people.
Azief oppress everyone with his power so it could not be said that he is using politics. He is using force. And that force itself turns into political power
But in a place where everyone have equal force, politics could be very dirty.
Africa is like this. The force between the warlords is not that much difference. But clearly some of them have broken though this equal force.
And when this happen in such a fragile environment like the African continent, it clearly signal chaos that is about to come
some new forces has risen in Africa and from what Jean had said, Azief could surmise
He is optimistic about this new force.
And what does that mean?
That means Jean believe that the African Alliance might be toppled and a new world power would arise
Then giving this Sea of Darkness….
Azief shakes his head
“I understand what you are saying. Regardless of that., I decided to give it to them. Even if there is a force capable enough to topple down the African Alliance, they still have to seek acknowledgment from us.”
Jean narrowed his eyes and nodded. He is not surprised that Azief could tell what he is worried about
He ever thought that Azief have such bravery to still give it to African Alliance even after knowing the risk
But since Death Monarch had said this, Jean did not raise any more objections.
Azief sighed and spoke
“I know what you are worried about Jean. Don’t worry. The world order I created would not crumble just because one world order is incompetent, “
Jean then recall some of the past conversation he had with Azief and nodded
“The world order is preserved. Then I shall vote Aye”
The matter is decided
The African Alliance get the Sea of Darkness. So, the Untainted Land get the Sea of Lightning. Because by that time, Raymond had already expressed his desire for the Sea of Fire.
After that, they bicker a few bits more about what kind of Sea they wanted, what kind of benefit they wanted and so on and so forth.
The discussion goes on for hours.
And unlike normal mortal these people did not need a rest.
But maybe because of what had happened earlier, there is no conflict where these people got up from their seta to show off their power. Azief let them
After all, it is better for them to argue and solve their dissatisfaction in this room, making sure everyone is truly satisfied rather than letting them go out of this room, unsatisfied and plotting for their desires after they got out of the room.
There is even a time when the opposing sides would advise the other sides on how to best utilizes the sea that that they have been allotted to.
Azief rarely intervene and he rarely interject.
In that few hours, the placement of the sea area is changed, changed back and then change again.
Even with this kind of messy operations Azief still did not intervene.
But after hours and hours of talking of trying to convince the others, in the end, they all agree with the original assignments of the area
Azief finally stood up after everyone has vowed to him that they are satisfied.
Even now, when the world is divided, there is only a few people that could be qualified to say whether they are satisfied or not on their lot of the world
Azief knows how to play this game. He divided the people who could do things and people who could not.
He knows how to divide interest and he knows when to push and retreat.
This kind of calmness and this kind of strategic thinking did not come out of nowhere.
Before the fall, he is not like an old fox versed in the way of politics.
Instead, when he was young, before the Fall, his worries is very mundane and mortal-like. And what he knows about politics is nothing compared to those people who experience politics in daily basis
But he also had experience of being a king, being an Emperor and he, himself is the ruler of Pandemonium so now he knows the art of balance.
To him the market of the city and the meeting of the world leaders is same in some respect.
It is just a bigger market with a bigger effect in making problems.
Everyone have their own interest and if their interest is not satisfied, then one day that person will stab you in the back because of interest
“I am ready to split the world, split the ten seas, create the ten lands wherever and whenever. However, some people did not yet come to the capital. After everyone is here, we could commence with the division. For now, we need to inform the world, the world powers and relocate people in high-risk areas of the transformation and inform the public what toe expect during the division and rearranging of the world”
Azief quickly handed the task and the meeting ended
Coming out of the room, he ordered
“Declare the lot of the world to the people of the world!”
….
When Death Monarch, Earthshaker, the Thunder King, the Illusionist Archmage come out from the palace everyone was curious
The reporters from the White Owl got some of the result. But the final decision would be announced to the rest of the world
In the Press Room of the Pandemonium Palace, a floating table is set up. This is the press conference of the decision of the lot of the world
There is already provocative headlines being displayed all over the world. Even though there is no longer internet like the world before the Fall, there is a neural and telepathic news
In many places, even the most remote places, people knows how to utilize the neural network that connects minds and store information in the form of thought memory form. Hence the people that access these neural networks already read the provocative headlines.
[Death Monarch allotted the lot of the world]
[Possible conflict between the Earthshaker and the Twin Sages of Japan]
[the Republic siding with the Lotus Order. Is there some new alliance about to form]?
[World Government and the Empire of Japan would clash!?]
All kinds of provocative headlines comes out in the hours leading to the conference.
White Owls reporters was the first one that got to interview the five people in the room discussing about the arrangement of the world
So, they are the one that have the juiciest news. The other reporters simply follows their leads and changes the words a bit added their own commentator and then posted in the neural
network
It took around two hours before all the five figures comes to the press room. The recording devices are all floating near the reporters. And they all have an owl perched on their shoulders. The electronic recording would be distributed to places with stable magical energy activity. As for the places with unstable energy fluctuation, the electronic devices and its recording would be distorted hence the owls on their shoulders.
Their familiar as some people dubbed it. Whether it is true these owls is their familiars or not, is only known to them. White Owls reporters is known to ask a lot of question but answer very
little about their organization.
Their leader is even more mysterious than the leader of the Dark Syndicate.
The five people sit down with Death Monarch sitting on the center seat. There is Jean and Raymond on his left side and Hikigaya and Oreki on his right side.
Some reporters is already eager to frame this sitting position as proof that the Empire of
Japan and the World Government is in a beef
The positioning of Death Monarch in the center also seems to confirm their thoughts.
It is like Death Monarch siting in the center to prevent these two forces from getting at each
other throats.
While they are not exactly true, there is a grain of truth there.
Azief look at the people in the conference room and smile.
He looks around and then nodded. Then he nodded to the spokesman of Pandemonium and
the spokesman begin pointing to one of the reporters.
“Each of you would get two questions. Please ask your question”
