The pal king turned to the ministers, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of a smile on his face.
As for what his opinion was, it was now quite obvious.
The ministers, looking at the black robed emissary before them, and then glancing at the barrier outside the palace, the ministers were somewhat speechless.
All right, let us not waste time.
I have already decided to submit to the eternal knight empire and convert to the church.
The pal king did not give them much time to think and quickly urged.
Now it's your turn to make a choice.
As for the conditions of allegiance, I believe you are already well aware, so I on one t waste my breath repeating them.
Everyone fell silent, looking at their companions, all inwardly cursing the old king for his unprincipled move.
Damn it.
If you wanted to surrender, you should have said so earlier.
If we all surrendered together, we could still negotiate a good price.
Now this has come up and we have no preparation at all.
It seems you are unwilling.
After a while, seeing that no one responded, the old king side, not knowing whether he was relieved or disappointed.
The blackroed emissary's eyes turned cold, and a staff appeared in his hand, dark elements swirling, ready to take action.
The guardian of the kingdom of Pal had also appeared in the hall at some point.
Although not as powerful as the black robed emissary, he was also a ninth tier powerhouse.
Wait, I am willing to follow his majesty s steps and submit to the eternal knight empire.
Seeing that the two were indeed about to engage, a minister could no longer hold back and hurriedly spoke up to surrender.
I am willing to surrender.
I am willing to surrender.
In just a short while, most of the ministers present had voiced their surrender with the remaining resistance faction.
Faced with this obvious situation, feeling unwilling but having no choice but to surrender.
What could they do now that even the king had surrendered? Voting against it at this point would only serve to put their lives on the line.
Seeing this, the eternal night emissary nodded in satisfaction, waving his hand, and the dark statue beside him erupted with dozens of rays of light, shooting towards the crowd.
Do not resist.
Upon hearing this, everyone suppressed their thoughts of resistance and allowed the black rays of light to hit them.
The rays of light flashed by and merged into their bodies.
Yet, they did not exhibit any symptoms, feeling as calm as if they had just taken a sip of water.
Several mages who specialized in spiritual awareness immediately noticed a mark had appeared in their spiritual seas.
Your Excellency Emissary, what is this? Someone asked.
The spiritual sea is fundamental to living beings and can be said to be even more important than the heart.
For powerful transcendence, all injuries to the body, including the heart and head, are not fatal.
As long as they still have consciousness, even if their heart is shattered or their head falls, they can still recover.
However, the spiritual awareness is different.
Even for highle transcendent beings or demagods, spiritual awareness is very important.
Just like the heart is for ordinary people.
If the spiritual awareness is damaged, even if the body is intact, they can still suffer severe trauma.
Now, that a mark had suddenly appeared in their spiritual seas.
How could they not panic? Some even speculate that this mark might be used to control them, ensuring they obey.
Don't worry, this is the dark mark.
It has no lethal power and won't interfere with you on ordinary days.
In fact, you can use it to understand the essence of darkness and comprehend dark power as it contains a trace of our master's divine power.
However, even if it's just a trace, it is enough for you to contemplate for a lifetime.
The god envoy of eternal night glanced at them, his tone flat.
Of course, if one day you choose to betray our master and attempt to wear away this mark, then it will transform into a coordinate.
A coordinate aimed at our master's believers.
They dare not.
The newly submissive crowd felt a chill in their hearts at these words and quickly voiced their fear.
No harm, but there is a coordinate.
Everyone understood the implication.
This dark mark would not directly take their lives.
But if the Church of Eternal Knight grasped the coordinates, it would be no different from losing their lives.
After all, over the years, the assassination operations of the Church of Eternal Knight had never ceased.
Relying on the secrecy of dark authority, they had secretly assassinated countless royal ministers and even several kings had fallen, including some at the ninth level.
If even such figures could not evade assassination, the ministers did not believe they could escape if their coordinates were in the hands of the church.
The rest is up to you.
Someone else will come to take over after this.
After giving a few instructions to Kingp, the god envoy of eternal night turned and walked into the dark vortex.
his figure disappearing as the vortex dissipated.
"Rest assured, envoy.
I will handle it well.
I wish you a safe journey, envoy.
" King pal nodded repeatedly.
Watching the black robed envoy leave.
Once the envoy had completely departed, a minister below lamented.
"Your majesty, this is not right.
You sold the kingdom without even telling us.
" In a region far from the kingdom of Pal at a secret stronghold.
This is one of the largest strongholds of the Church of Eternal Knight on the northern continent.
"How'd it go?" someone asked as they watched the returning black robed envoy.
"It's done.
The Kingdom of Pal has submitted to send someone over to take over.
" The black robed envoy, having completed the task, replied with a smile.
"So simple.
" And they agreed.
Another person expressed disappointment, lamenting, "I was hoping that if a fight broke out, I could get a few more highle extraordinary undead.
Huh? Isn't it better this way? If it really came to a fight, even if we killed them all, it would just turn into a war of attrition, wasting at least several months, if not years.
A companion beside him laughed.
Exactly.
Exactly.
We don't lack undead leaders.
If you really want them, just apply for it.
There are plenty of undead leaders over at the river of undead, and you can get one quickly.
It is said that the Empire is currently expanding a demilane which is much more dangerous than ours with highle extraordinary beings appearing in droves.
To deal with them, several top legions of the Empire have been sent in.
That place is better.
We can act without restraint however we want while we have too many restrictions here, which is inconvenient.
All right, stop complaining.
If there were no restrictions, do you think we would still need to come here? Those killers could take down the northern kingdoms by themselves.
Now that the kingdom of Pal has been dealt with, it's time to move on to the next target.
The overall strength of the Eternal Knight Empire is far superior to that of the Hundred Kingdoms Alliance on the Northern Continent.
However, their resistance has caused considerable trouble for the Eternal Knight Empire, especially after discovering that the Eternal Knight Empire places considerable importance on the citizens of the kingdoms.
They began to propagate the Empire's evil and terror, claiming that undead were everywhere, that it delights in slaughter, and that the Empire's rise is all thanks to killing and plundering just a bunch of barbarians.
It must be said that this propaganda has been quite effective, significantly boosting the fighting spirit of the kingdom's people.
After all, the awareness of the kingdom's citizens is not high, and the channels for information are limited.
In such an environment, naturally, whatever the kingdom says becomes the truth.
After hearing so much propaganda, coupled with the kingdom's timely easing of policies, the citizens of the kingdom do not have a good impression of the Eternal Knight Empire.
Facing the pressure of the Eternal Knight Empire's invasion, the cohesion among the Northern Continent countries has been steadily increasing over the years.
