Chapter 623 Ready to go, meet tomorrow morning
Simmons, the nominal leader of the aristocratic faction, is now confined to his quarters by the king.
The de facto leader, Pris, was defeated by Anno.
No one from the aristocratic faction dared to continue causing trouble at Kuro's funeral.
However, news of Anno's defeat of Pris quickly reached the ears of Lemons and the King.
Charles XI was initially delighted, but then a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Anno's strength is naturally a good thing for the kingdom.
But what if his relationship with his son Tester deteriorates in the future...?
"Lemons, after a while, you and your men will stay by Tester's side."
Upon hearing this, Lymens already knew that the king had chosen Tester as the next king.
Given Anno's outstanding performance, choosing Tester was inevitable.
Even if Simmons had not made any mistakes, Charles XI would still make Tester king for the sake of the kingdom's stability.
Whoosh!
Lemons, clad in full armor, knelt before Charles XI, with several dark figures appearing behind him, also kneeling.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
......
"Your Highness, President Anno, thank you both!"
After the funeral, Kuro's two sons, Sman and Curry, bowed deeply to Test and Anno.
They all heard Pris's insults towards Kuro.
The mother was so angry with Pris that she cried, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
At this moment, Tester spoke up for Kuro, and Anno even fought a fierce battle with Priss—there were quite a few passersby on the roadside at the time, and news of Anno defeating Priss had already spread.
Kuro's eldest son, Sman, was around twenty-five years old. Although he was also a large man, he was a civil official in the kingdom.
The second son, Curry, had a lean physique and was already a fourth-tier warrior in his early twenties, a member of the royal city's elite legion.
After Pulis's outburst, the two became even more devoted to Tester, and their respect and admiration for Anno reached a new level.
The kingdom's youngest eighth-ranked warrior!
Anno has become Curry's second idol – his dad is number one!
"Work hard to hone your abilities so you can assist His Highness in the future!"
Although Anno is the same age as the two, his strength and status give him a natural air of authority.
Sman and Curry exchanged a glance, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.
Anno's words revealed a message—Tester becoming king was a foregone conclusion.
After leaving Kuro's house, Anno got into Test's carriage.
"Have you chosen the bodyguards I asked you to screen before?"
After chatting for a while, Anno brought up the important matter.
Tester's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Is that plan about to begin?"
"Um!"
Anno nodded and said, "With my current strength, the nobles of the aristocratic faction can't cause any trouble at all."
If Pris doesn't understand this, I'll choose a suitable time to kill him in a random, unprovoked attack.
Next, we need to prepare our forces for the [Dimensional Invasion] plan.
Anno's elite training camp program is not just for Xue Feibai and many branch presidents.
The investigators will also select a portion of the high-performing individuals to participate in this project.
At the same time, Anno also needs to train a high-ranking guard for Tester.
This is also to improve Tester's safety factor.
Don't let yourself be killed by an unknown high-ranking being one day.
"I've already made my selection; I've chosen fifty sixth-tier personal guards!"
During the time that the adventurers were developing, Tester was also building his own personal guard.
Because Tester has a deep connection with the Adventurers' Guild, a significant number of the sixth-tier adventurers that Tester finds are willing to serve him.
Of course, the adventurers who were approached by Tester were all pre-screened by Tester, and he personally visited them.
Therefore, in the past six months, Tester has also recruited many capable adventurers as his personal guards.
The fifty people he mentioned were the more talented sixth-tier professionals in the guard.
Upon hearing this number, Anno said speechlessly, "You really know how to pick!"
"Hehe, didn't you say you'd choose a lot and train them all to high-level?"
Tester chuckled a few times, then looked at Anno and said, "Anno, these are all my treasures, so don't you dare cripple them!"
It wasn't easy for Tester to recruit these bodyguards.
Therefore, he didn't want his guards to return missing limbs.
Anno waved his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you? Even during regular training, death can still occur."
I cannot guarantee that everyone will be safe and sound during the subsequent live-fire exercises.
Becoming a high-level player in a short period of time is not an easy task.
Did you mention this when you were screening them?
"Of course I said that!"
Tester recalled the scene when he gathered his personal guards and talked about the elite training camp, and covered his forehead, saying, "Their eyes lit up when they heard that there was a chance to break through to the seventh rank!"
Everyone knew the consequences.
Even so, they were willing!
Considering the number of seventh-tier kingdom members previously, it becomes clear why they knowingly participated despite the danger.
If I give up this opportunity, I might remain a mid-level professional forever!
"Then go back and tell them to prepare and meet at the Adventurers' Guild first thing tomorrow morning."
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild. After Anno and Tester finished speaking, they lifted the curtain and got out.
"Anno, go for it with confidence!"
Tester leaned out of the carriage window, gave Anno a thumbs-up, and said, "The Kingdom of Nigar will always support you!"
Anno turned around and smiled, "Before that, you should focus on learning how to govern a country."
A nation's strength depends not only on its military, but also on its economy, politics, people's livelihood, and so on!
You have a heavy burden on your shoulders!
"What do you think is the reason I haven't been able to improve my cultivation level lately?"
Tester said with a headache, "I never imagined being king would be so difficult! Anyway, I'm going back now."
Tester's carriage headed towards the inner city.
Anno then joined the Adventurers' Guild.
"President!"
Linda greeted him with a serious expression, handing the documents to Anno and saying, "News has come from Xuelong City that preparations there are complete, and the elite training camp can begin at any time!"
"Um!"
Anno glanced down at the documents, then called out towards the guild hall, "Xue Feibai!"
Xue Feibai, who returned early after the funeral, immediately stood up and replied, "Present!"
Anno: "Steinbeck!"
Commander Steinbeck of the Investigators appeared before Anno in a flash, kneeling on one knee and respectfully replying, "Your subordinate is here!"
"Xue Feibai will temporarily take charge of all branch leaders, and Steinbeck will lead the selected investigators to assemble at the guild entrance tomorrow morning!"
Xue Feibai and Steinbeck replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"
