Jonah couldn’t help but gasp, this move of using someone else to do the dirty work really hit the mark.
If the Purple-Armored Legion entered the Royal City under the banner of quelling the rebellion, they absolutely could not harm the royal descendents of Visorion. But if they didn’t take action, they wouldn’t be able to break into the city.
Isaac knew very well that ever since favonovel.com killed Visorion, taking the throne would not be easy. After all, given the many historical examples on Earth, not having a bloodbath was already quite good.

After nightfall, Elon was pushed out of the Imperial Medical Center and into the study of Southlight Palace.
At this moment in the study, there were already around 14 people seated. The younger ones were in their early thirties, while the older ones already had grey hair.
As Elon entered, they promptly knelt down and greeted favonovel.com by saying, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Elon looked at the familiar faces and waved his hand. “I’m not the Emperor yet, so don’t call me that. Just call me Commander for now.”
There were 27 people on Jonah’s list, but now only half of them had shown up. Elon naturally knew where the other half had gone, and couldn’t help but feel sad.
The power struggles within the royal court were extremely brutal. Behind someone in a high position, there were often several dozen or even hundreds of families intertwined.
Looking at the dozen or so people in front of him, each of them appeared gaunt and pale, but their eyes were filled with tears.
Elon sighed, then looked up with a smile and said, “After enduring hardships, good times have come. You all have fought alongside me or worked with me, and now, I need your help.”
“Zeke Larson, you are to take over the position of city lord. Order that all city lords must come to the Royal City to pay their respects within ten days.”
“Cory Samson, go to the military headquarters and cut off all supply lines to the Purple-Armored Legion immediately.”
Elon was meticulously organizing the group of over ten people in front of him, assigning each person to the most crucial positions within the departments and offices. Because before they were about to take over, the people in those positions had already been arrested.
The offices of the three departments and nine divisions were not in a good state now.
Following Isaac’s instructions, Jonah escorted all the royal descendants to just outside the southeastern gates of the city. He then personally delivered each of these individuals, arranged by Elon, to the various government offices. Now, even those who were displeased wouldn’t dare to speak up.
Until the latter part of the night, from the southeast direction of Royal City, two large armies, stretching over several miles, raised clouds of dust as they rapidly marched toward Royal City.
The loud tremor woke up all the residents of Royal City.
Some curious people tried to sneak to the city gate to see what was happening, but the soldiers guarding the gate quickly drove them back.
Beyond the eastern entrance and the south gate, two formations of armored troops were slowly advancing. Above the middle of each formation, four commanding generals were flying in the air.
The commanders guarding the two main gates were also feeling incredibly anxious upon seeing the situation.
“I give you half of two hours to release General Parker and his family, or else the Purple-Armored Legion will flatten Royal City!” A deep, angry shout echoed from the ranks of the Purple-Armored Legion at the front.
At this moment, a general swiftly approached the commanding general who was shouting orders and urgently said, “General Gonchez, kneeling outside the city gates are members of the royal family, including the third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince!”
The commanding general, known as General Gonchez, was dressed in purple battle armor.
Upon hearing the comment, favonovel.com let out a cold snort and said, “Our mission is to rescue General Parker. I don’t care about anyone else’s fate. With Visorion dead, what use are these royal descendants?!”
At that moment, Isaac appeared at the city gate, and soon, Dannie, who was being carried by two guards, also reached the city gate.
