I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 439 Run! You're going to die if you don't run! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Hearing Dill say this, the most furious person present was Emperor Charles Stan of the Everlasting Day Empire.

How can someone who is emperor still need to be tried?

Charles Stan could foresee that upon returning home, as emperor, he would have to attend a trial at the Papal Palace and prepare evidence to prove that he had not committed treason.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Being an emperor was so frustrating.

Meanwhile, the emperor next door completely ignored the Papacy and called Dill a dog, and he didn't dare to talk back.

Charles Stan glanced at Li Chen, as if he had just understood.

No wonder when I asked Li Chen how to deal with those who didn't obey, Li Chen said to just kill them all.

That's right.

Li Chen has that kind of strength.

Charles Stan could understand why the Tian Ce Dynasty, which was originally more chaotic and had more severe factional strife than the Yong Zhou Empire, had recently become more stable. It turned out that as long as the emperor was a Saint, there was no problem that could not be solved.

Charles Stan was just one step away from becoming a Saint, but he could never take that step.

Actually, Charles Stan's thinking wasn't very comprehensive; Li Chen was no ordinary Saint Realm cultivator.

Charles Stan hadn't reached that level either, and couldn't understand what the combat power would be like after reaching the Saint Realm.

However, there was one thing he wasn't happy about: being publicly reprimanded by his own 'subjects' was something no emperor could tolerate.

Actually, Dill didn't want to bully the weak and fear the strong, but he had no choice. After exchanging a few blows with Li Chen, he knew he really couldn't beat him, so he treated Li Chen well.

This creates a very subtle feeling.

Dill showed no respect for the emperor of his own country, yet he respected the emperors of other countries.

If you didn't know better, you'd think Dier was a member of the Tian Ce faction.

After uttering those harsh words, Dill hurriedly ran away.

The other men in black were dumbfounded.

"What? Lord Dill has run away, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Run! If you don't run, are you just waiting to die?!"

As they spoke, a group of men in black dashed out of the villa.

Although their orders were all to kill Charles Stanton, who dares to do it now?

Li Chen not killing them was already a sign that he didn't take them seriously at all. If they continued to act mischievously at this point, wouldn't that be courting death?

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Li Chen had no intention of staying here any longer.

Because he knew that with his identity, he would be sought after by thousands wherever he went, and countless people would try to curry favor with him.

Originally, I came out of the palace to see these places for myself and to see the real situation.

Once their identities are revealed, they become difficult to see, which makes it somewhat boring.

Since things had come to this, Li Chen got up and left immediately. If he didn't leave, the nearby merchants and dignitaries would come over to curry favor with him.

At this moment, Charles Stan also stood up and said, "Consider this a favor I owe you today."

Li Chen casually replied, "No need, I didn't intend to help you."

This wasn't Li Chen being modest; it was just that Dill used an area-of-effect skill right from the start, intending to kill everyone present to silence them.

Li Chen was inexplicably dragged into this mess; how could he not slap Dier?

Throughout the entire process, Charles Stan never revealed his identity. Dill only said that he would complain to the Pope, without revealing who Charles Stan was. Li Chen had no way of knowing either. He could only deduce that Charles Stan held a high position in the Eternal Day Empire.

Moreover, he had conflicts with the Vatican. Charles Stan's personal connections are something that 99.99% of the world's population can only dream of.

But Li Chen really wasn't interested.

After saying that, Li Chen left directly, his carefree manner making Charles Stan somewhat envious.

It was dangerous there, so Charles Stan quickly left, escorted by two guards.

However, as he was leaving, Charles Stan was thinking.

The Vatican and the Pope are a heavy burden on him. He desperately wants to overthrow them, but even as emperor, his power is limited. Perhaps he could let Li Chen do it?

However, there is a huge drawback here. Li Chen is the Emperor of Tian Ce. Sending him here would come at a terrible cost, and it might even lead to a situation where a tiger is devoured by a wolf.

The wolf is dead, but the tiger is even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, it's estimated that Li Chen won't be sent until the Charles clan is wiped out.

However, he was overthinking it. Given Li Chen's personality, even if he begged Li Chen, Li Chen might not come.

The two emperors' epic first meeting took place in this very manor.

Charles Stan will definitely go back and deal with his brother. It seems I can't be too merciful. I didn't expect my brother to be so ruthless. If you're not merciful, don't blame me for being unjust.

At this moment, Li Chen, led by Zhu Zhuying, was heading to the residence of the Grand General of the Starfall Empire, which was also the residence of Zhu Zhuying's father.

Just as Li Chen was dealing with Dier, the internal strife within the Starfall Empire was also coming to an end.

Outside the imperial city, the struggle for the throne between Dai Wuchang and Dai Xiaoyao came to an end.

Dai Wuchang acquired 10,000 sets of equipment from the Eternal Day Empire, which greatly improved the army's combat effectiveness.

Dai Xiaoyao obtained 20,000 sets of equipment from the Tian Ce Empire. Although they were all inferior products that were better than high-quality ones, since both sides were inferior products, there was not much difference in quality.

With 20,000 sets of equipment, Dai Xiaoyao could arm an even larger army.

The Thunder Stones on the weapons resonated with the pulse array, and Dai Xiaoyao's army roared like azure thunder beasts, tearing apart Dai Wuchang's army's defenses.

In the end, Dai Wuchang was defeated and fled in disarray, even hiding in the Yongzhou Empire's garrison, and fled the Xingluo Empire with the Yongzhou Empire's garrison.

It's clear that the garrison of the Eternal Day Empire isn't really taking any action; they're just there to oversee the military and sell equipment.

However, Dai Xiaoyao didn't dare to attack them. Attacking the army of the Yongzhou Empire would be tantamount to declaring war on the Yongzhou Empire, and it would be a slap in the face. How many countries would dare to do that?

Once Dai Wuchang flees, the next step will be 'propaganda' work.

This wasn't the first time Zhu Yingxiong had helped someone ascend the throne; he was very familiar with these kinds of tasks.

His subordinates have already gone out to spread all sorts of negative news about Dai Wuchang, portraying him as the culprit who brought disaster to Xingluo Kingdom.

Then they found shills to portray Dai Xiaoyao as virtuous, which meant finding 'professionals' to fabricate a few stories, such as what happened when Dai Xiaoyao was a child, and what strange celestial phenomena occurred when he was born, so that the people would support Dai Xiaoyao.

These are all old tricks for ascending to the throne.

The second prince of the Tian Ce Dynasty, Li Xian, had spread similar rumors about Li Chen, but since he never became emperor, these rumors eventually fell apart.

If he becomes emperor, this is not a rumor, it's the truth!
Riding a tall, magnificent horse, Dai Xiaoyao returned victorious to the capital, where he was greeted with cheers from the people.

At this moment, Dai Xiaoyao realized for the first time what it felt like to be on the throne.

In fact, Dai Xiaoyao had felt guilty ever since he started preparing to launch the coup, feeling that his brother had treated him well and that he really shouldn't have done that.

But who knew that Dai Wuchang would actually want him to take the blame? That way, Dai Xiaoyao didn't feel too much pressure and won so easily!
