Chapter 416: Du Ge's Bright Banner
```
"How could the king's father help others?" Old Gao looked at the silent Du Ge, his eyes wandering, speaking insincerely.
"Viscount Vils must have been coerced into saying that," Lather found an excuse to exonerate Du Ge.
"King Holly, we should rescue your family. That way, the rumors will stop immediately," Orey suggested. "Viscount Vils would be very relieved to see your transformation..."
Everyone was offering Du Ge advice, trying to cover up the major situation that might happen next.
After interacting for so many days, they had already guessed that Holly was not the original Holly.
The differences between the two were too great.
Moreover, these days, Holly's battles had been upright and honorable, never using the foresight-type martial soul he mentioned.
But at this moment, everyone was tied to King Holly's ship.
No one wanted to see Holly fail.The hardened criminals who came out of the prison had no principles; naturally, they would help whoever benefited them. If an evil god could make them soar, they wouldn't mind being his followers.
However, for now, aside from some unorthodox ascetic practices, everything Holly did was good.
He was genuinely trying to be a just and noble king. Deep down, Old Gao and the others didn't believe Holly had been possessed by an evil god.
"It's too late," Grand Duke Lynch and Du Ge said in unison.
Everyone was stunned.
Du Ge looked at Grand Duke Lynch, smiled, and gestured for him to continue.
Grand Duke Lynch said, "When the king released those nobles, he still planted a mental cage in them. Everyone knows Viscount Vils is the king's father, but the rumors still spread, which only means they have strong support behind them.
And their backers believe they are qualified to contend with the king and even defeat him. So at this moment, the king's father and clan should have been well protected or moved. This is their trump card; they won't let us find them."
"Who can contend with the king?" Reg asked.
"The Pope," Lather said gloomily. "In the Lucerne Kingdom, the only one with the strength to oppose the king is the Pope, who represents the Sun God. He is also a divine envoy. Although he claims to have a ten-star martial soul, no one knows his true strength.
Rumor has it that he once fought with the God of War Apostle Ludek. After that battle, Ludek never appeared before the Pope again, presumably defeated."
Lather's face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Du Ge glanced at him. Lather's martial soul was a four-winged angel, exclusive to the church.
But he was thrown into prison in White Stone City, likely not on good terms with the church.
However, since Lather didn't speak, Du Ge didn't bother to ask what exactly had happened.
Just like the sordid dealings between Old Gao and Grand Duke Lynch, as long as he defeated the Pope, all grudges would be avenged. Counting on them to take revenge themselves was hopeless in this lifetime.
"There might also be the president of the Magic Guild," Grand Duke Lynch added. "King, Lager Gavin's strength surpasses mine. He can instantly cast forbidden spells without using scrolls. He has held the position of president of the Magic Guild for over fifty years, and no one has ever been able to shake his position. Many professors at the Magic Academy are his students..."
And behind them, there was still an unknown keyword alien star warrior!
Du Ge added in his heart.
"King Holly, are you confident in defeating those two?" Prince Nelson asked, his expression conflicted, hoping both for the Pope to defeat Du Ge and for Du Ge to defeat the Pope and put him on the throne of Lucerne.
"Nothing can stop a king's determination to protect his people," Du Ge glanced at him and said righteously, "I despise people who use schemes and plots. The dignified Pope, the envoy of the God of Light, stooped so low as to use my innocent father.
He has tarnished the name of the divine envoy. I will expose his true face in front of everyone. This world should not be controlled by vile and evil beings..."
"Grand Duke Lynch, you will issue the announcement to expose the Pope's conspiracy.
Tell everyone that I have long received a plea for help from my father. No father would want to harm his son. I left White Stone City to rescue my father and clan.
Under the guise of inspection, I was originally giving face to the Sun God, but the Pope has gone too far, so I will no longer cover for him.
The Pope's actions have betrayed the Sun God. He forced an innocent weakling to lie, placing himself in darkness and conspiracy.
Tomorrow, I will duel him in Bask City in front of everyone, under the sun, to expose his hypocritical face.
Duke, tell the Pope that if he dares to harm my father and clan, I will bury the entire church with them..."
"......"
Grand Duke Lynch's expression froze.
Is this what you call hating schemes and plots?
Count how many schemes you used in this one speech?
Using your father's name to clear your own, washing away the responsibility of not rescuing your father in time, and throwing a bucket of dirty water on the Pope;
If the Pope appears in Bask City tomorrow, it means he really detained your father;
If he doesn't appear, it means he is afraid to fight for his honor, becoming a Sun God's envoy hiding in the dark;
The most despicable part is having him, the Duke, issue the announcement, pushing him to the opposite side of the church...
You even scheme against your own people, you're really something!
Grand Duke Lynch couldn't help but curse in his heart. All this started because the Pope made your father tell the truth. Who's really full of schemes?
But.
At this moment, Grand Duke Lynch dared not betray Du Ge.
He couldn't withstand the Sword of Judgment hanging over his head!
Silently mourning for the Pope for a second, Grand Duke Lynch took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I will clear the king's name."
"Lather, you and Orey will be responsible for telling all the people about the deeds of this so-called evil god who possessed me these days. Compare the new policies of the Nation of Justice with the harsh policies of the Lucerne Kingdom. If I am an evil god, what are those nobles who have been exploiting them for decades?"
Du Ge then turned to Lather and said, "Lather, my people are wise. They will judge for themselves who is right and who is wrong. If they think I am an unqualified king, I can abdicate and return the Nation of Justice to the King of Lucerne..."
Lather's eye twitched, and he saluted Du Ge, "Yes, King, with us here, no one can insult your honor."
"Stephen Gao," Du Ge turned to Old Gao, "you are the fastest. Next, take my decree and announce to the entire Nation of Justice that from today, the Nation of Justice will be officially renamed the Du Ge Empire. Once I rescue my father and clan, I will officially ascend the throne and be crowned king."
"King, why call it the Du Ge Empire?" Old Gao asked curiously.
"Paul Du Ge, that's the true name of the Sea God. I cannot guarantee that after defeating the Pope, the Sun God won't get angry and directly attack me. So, I need to reveal my identity as the Sea God's envoy," Du Ge smiled and said, "This way, if the Sun God wants to attack me directly, he will also consider the Sea God's face."
"King, isn't the Sea God's name Sabio Kase?" Grand Duke Lynch asked curiously.
"That's the Sea God's public name," Du Ge looked at Grand Duke Lynch, "Every god has their true name, which they are born with. Only gods of the same level and their envoys know this name. Gao, go ahead, I won't mistake the Sea God's name..."
...
Grand Duke Lynch and the others left one after another to carry out his orders.
In the blink of an eye.
Only Prince Nelson and a few guards were left by Du Ge's side.
Du Ge opened his personal interface, looking at the remaining 243 alien star warriors, chuckled lightly, thinking, "If the tiger doesn't show its might, they really think I'm a sick cat."
These days, he had been focusing on brushing up attributes and finding skills.
If he didn't show his claws soon, those alien star warriors might forget the fear of being dominated by Master Du.
That's right.
The reason for renaming the kingdom to the Du Ge Empire was to send a signal to everyone that Du Ge's faction was rising again.
He couldn't wait for the top ten list to be announced.
His people should come to join him sooner.
Paul was his name in the Sea God Simulation Field, and Du Ge was his real name. The warriors from Qi Yuan Star who understood the meaning of this name wouldn't mistake him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As for the enemies.
After the last Alien Star Battlefield, Du Ge's formidable reputation must have spread to other planets. This time, by revealing his name, he intended to force those hidden rats to show their claws.
After all.
Du Ge already had a kingdom. If he didn't seize the time, there wouldn't even be a chance to form alliances.
Moreover.
Du Ge had a good reputation, with a precedent of sharing resources with alien star warriors from other planets. Maybe, upon hearing his name, some alien star warriors from other planets would come to join him too!
This time, with his impartial judgment skill, he wasn't afraid of alien star warriors with hidden agendas appearing.
