Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1231 - 824 lets go Archbishop

Back at the main city, with the Dragon Queen presiding, there were no dangers.

“Miss Phoenix, what is the Hall of Justice’s response?” asked Mr. Fang Hao as he sat down at the table, with a smile.

In fact, the Hall of Justice had no room to choose.

The reason they were asked to deliberate was merely to save face.

It looked better both internally and externally.

“Mr. Fang Hao, do you know about the traditional governance leader of the Hundred Cities Federation?” Phoenix asked with a smile.

Mr. Fang Hao glanced at Rebecca, who also looked puzzled.

Why bring up tradition now!

But mentioning it at this time must mean something.

“Please go ahead, Miss Phoenix. I would like to understand more,” Mr. Fang Hao gestured for her to continue.

Phoenix nodded, looked at the few people who came along side her, and then spoke, “Under the leadership of humanity’s initial five outstanding leaders, the human race established the Hall of Justice and respectively governed over five territories.”

So that was what they were discussing.

This matter had been mentioned by Rebecca when they first went to Silver Wing City.

The five human leaders led humanity to what it is today, stabilizing the foundation and ensuring humans were no longer just prey for ferocious races.

With the lifespan of humans, those five no longer existed, but tradition had it that each region’s leader was still a successor, representing the five legacies.

Seeing that Mr. Fang Hao remained silent, Phoenix continued, “Unfortunately, the ‘Brave Horn’ emblem of the Hundred Cities Federation has been lost and not recovered. Currently, Dordy is merely acting in an official capacity. Thus, the Hall of Justice proposes appointing Mrs. Rebecca as the acting governor, until the emblem is found, then formally appoint her as the official leader.”

Rebecca furrowed her brow slightly.

She understood what they meant; appointing someone as acting leader meant it was a temporary position.

They could find any reason to replace her at any time.

Clearly, this was an excuse concocted by the Hall of Justice.

And indeed, such a tradition existed within the Federation, which Rebecca and Mr. Fang Hao were aware of.

“So this is the excuse you came up with?” Rolana interjected at that moment.

The atmosphere in the entire room suddenly grew much heavier.

Everyone could sense that this was just a pretext produced by the Hall of Justice, a backup plan.

“Mrs. Rebecca should be aware of this as well; it’s not something we made up. Of course, the Hall of Justice will acknowledge Leader Rebecca’s position,” continued Phoenix.

Mr. Fang Hao cut off Rolana, who was still ready to argue, and countered, “Finding that emblem makes one the real leader?”

“Yes, each leader of the Hall of Justice has a corresponding emblem. If Mr. Fang Hao or Mrs. Rebecca can find it, that would certainly legitimize her claim,” Phoenix nodded.

Mr. Fang Hao nodded, then displayed a satisfied smile.

Softly, he said, “Coincidentally, yesterday while my wife and I were shopping, we happened to find an emblem.”

With that, he took out the ‘Brave Horn’ emblem stored in the Book of Lords.

[Brave Horn (Orange)]

The brass-colored horn design, like a gleaming gemstone, caught everyone’s eyes.

Not only the people from the Hall of Justice but even Rebecca widened her eyes.

Surprised that the object the Hundred Cities Federation had searched for decades had ended up in Mr. Fang Hao’s hands.

And it was brought out at such a critical moment.

“This…”

Phoenix instinctively reached out to take it but Mr. Fang Hao pressed the emblem firmly in his hand, saying, “Just look.”

“We need to verify if the emblem is authentic,” an old man from the Hall of Justice stated.

“What is there to see? Dordy can verify that when the time comes. Besides, if it were so easy to replicate, wouldn’t you have done it long ago instead of searching for the lost one?” Mr. Fang Hao retorted and then put away the emblem.

After putting the emblem away, Mr. Fang Hao continued, “Alright, now that we have the emblem, perhaps we can discuss the succession of leadership.”

Phoenix felt helpless as the script had changed unexpectedly.

But the words that were previously spoken could not be taken back.

She could only say, “Yes, I’ve also brought the Hall of Justice’s appointment letter, which needs to be discussed with Mrs. Rebecca.”

Mr. Fang Hao moved aside, allowing Rebecca to sit in the front.

…

Silver Wing City, the council hall.

Hall of Justice’s Dordy, Archbishop Milton, and Mage Association President Grigorya sat in the hall, discussing the recent events and future developments.

“The day before yesterday, the Hall of Justice specifically inquired about Mrs. Rebecca, sounding very curious about her,” Dordy mentioned after the formal discussion and sipped his tea.

For this woman, Dordy had some admiration for her courage and boldness.

But while he admired her, he didn’t agree with what she did.

Some things couldn’t be accomplished just by being bold.

Smiling, Milton said, “It’s still her troublesome husband causing the stir. He actually dared to confront the Dragon Clan, quite laughable indeed.”

“I heard it’s been resolved, a demigod intervened on Mr. Fang Hao’s behalf,” Grigorya also spoke.

As time passed, they had heard various rumors.

“Humph, how could a mere transmigrator manage that? I think it was the Trade Alliance or someone else who mediated, just giving the Dragon Clan a face-saving way out. Does he really have the standing to upset the Dragon Clan?” Milton scoffed.

The other two remained silent.

Mr. Fang Hao had made quite an impression.

Previously, when accompanying Rebecca to Silver Wing City, he had been introduced as her young lover.

Such a person could hardly be imagined doing anything significant.

Others may not know about Fang Hao’s origin, but how could they not know!

“This time upon returning, the Hall of Justice should arrange a position for Rebecca,” Dordy continued.

Milton glanced at Dordy and casually said, “Even if she really received the legacy in the ‘Sanctuary Paradise,’ she has no foundation, so she’s easy to handle.”

After glancing at Dordy, Milton continued, “I will handle this matter when the time comes. Her rise is too rapid; if we allow this to continue, she may very well surpass us in the future.”

Dordy did not respond, only vaguely saying, “Let’s see what the Hall of Justice has to say!”

Grigorya, who was beside them, remained silent the entire time.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The Mage Association generally does not interfere in council affairs.

“Alright, let’s leave it at that for now and discuss everything once she returns,” Milton said as he stood up to leave.

The other two also stood and walked out together.

…

Inside the tavern.

Rebecca and “Phoenix” talked for a long time.

They also signed the appointment contract of the Hall of Justice.

After signing, Rebecca officially became the appointed leader of the Hall of Justice.

Of course, this contract was just a piece of paper with no binding power of rules. Even without signing, Fang Hao would have taken over the Hundred Cities Federation, albeit in a more violent manner.

“Well, Mrs. Rebecca, now you are the governing leader of the Hundred Cities Federation. We will notify and make it public tomorrow,” Phoenix said as she put away the contract.

“Thank you!” Rebecca also revealed a smile.

All of this felt somewhat surreal to her.

Her lifelong dream had been to protect Lyss City from being taken by others.

Yet unexpectedly, she had become the leader of the entire Federation.

Now, no one could threaten her anymore.

“We will head back now and handle this matter as quickly as possible,” Phoenix said as she stood up, her armor clanking.

“Thank you, Miss Phoenix,” Fang Hao said, nodding.

The personnel from the Hall of Justice left.

In the room, only three people remained.

Rebecca could hardly wait as she threw herself into an embrace, “Thank you. I never even dared to dream of this, and now it’s all come true.”

Fang Hao embraced her and said, “You see, I’m not biased, am I?”

“You do have a conscience after all.”

…

The moon hung high, and the church hall was silent.

Creeeeak—

The door opened, and Milton, wearing an archbishop’s robe and a mitre, slowly walked in.

He had barely taken two steps when he paused.

The hall, which should have been empty, now had an additional figure.

High above, sitting in the archbishop’s seat.

Wrapped in black armor, holding a long-handled war hammer.

A hint of fierceness flickered in the aged eyes of Milton but quickly settled down, “Are you waiting for me?”

Silently sitting there, it was clear he was waiting for his return.

“My lord requests the archbishop to come,” the black-armored warrior spoke.

Milton frowned slightly, a woman?

A woman’s voice came from within the armor.

A woman wearing such heavy armor?

It wasn’t that women couldn’t wear it, but typically, female heroes would wear more lightweight armor.

There was rarely such a sight of armor enveloping the entire body like a tin can.

“So… who is he, and why doesn’t he come to see me himself?” Milton asked with a sneer.

“You’ll find out soon enough, let’s go, Archbishop, it’s getting late!” the black-armored warrior stood up.

“Hah, perhaps it would be more sincere if he came to see me,” the archbishop’s tone also became stern.

Being in the church and simply being told to leave, what about the church’s dignity?

“Then there’s no helping it.”

The black-armored warrior spoke, and a thick fire spear shot out rapidly.

The archbishop grimaced, his staff forcefully thudding.

A golden shield instantly formed in front of him.

Just when the fire spear was about to hit the shield, the archbishop switched places with the black-armored warrior in a flash.

The heavy war hammer slammed down hard on the light shield.

Thud—crack!

The light shield shattered, the archbishop’s face showed a hint of surprise as he quickly retreated.

He waved his staff, and the Golden Light Sword and the war hammer gathered, smashing towards the enemy before him.

At the same time, divine light descended from mid-air, and a resounding hymn surrounded them.

The various golden light attacks became even more powerful.

Hmph!

The black-armored warrior snorted coldly, her steps quickened as she chased, her war hammer smashing all incoming attacks into pieces.

The attribute suppression made her like a wild beast.

Any attack against her was weak.

After several rounds of combat, all the holy light shattered, and the heavy war hammer struck the archbishop’s chest.

Puh!

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and his aura also weakened significantly in an instant.

The black-armored warrior stepped on his body, indifferent to his screams, and pulled out a “binding strap” from her waist and fastened it around him.

Click, click, click!!

Mechanical noises sounded, and the archbishop was completely bound, a spherical gag also placed in his mouth.

Outside, the torchlight brightened, and guards were banging against the blocked door.

“Let’s go, Archbishop.”

The black-armored warrior, carrying the bound archbishop, walked towards the back.
