Hero of Darkness

Chapter 336 The New Order

2 DAYS LATER

Using the network and projection artifacts, Kahn started a live broadcast in thousands of cities and villages across all the inhabited parts of the fiefdom and his face appeared on the large projection screens in the middle of bustling streets and squares where normal people went about their daily lives.

An announcement happened throughout the Verlassen fiefdom that completely shook all parts of society.
From commoners to big business tycoons, from normal soldiers to top military officers.

”People of Verlassen Fiefdom.
I, Kahn Salvatore your sovereign, have an important announcement to make today.

Please know that this announcement involves and greatly impacts your lives as it includes the structure of the system and society which we live in. ” spoke Kahn in an authoritative tone as he introduced himself to the people of fiefdom.

The declaration started right with the important points as he continued to elaborate.

”From this day forth, I effectively and immediately void all the power and authority held by the city guards, law enforcement forces and those who hold positions in carrying out any punishment to those who break the law or cause public discomfort. ” spoke Kahn in a resolute tone.

Shock!

Dumbfounded!

Flabbergasted!

Millions of people were left speechless on the spot as soon as they heard Kahn ’s announcement.

He was basically nulling all the forces that maintained public order and protection out of the blue.

But before the public underwent chaos, Kahn spoke again.

”However, I ’m establishing a new force that will be replacing them. ” spoke Kahn and pointed his hands towards a legion of people donned in gray armors and a variety of weapons in their hands in different battalions.
They varied from species to species and different sizes.

”If you promise to abide by the law and help in keeping the public order intact, these people shall be the ones you should inform if you see any form of injustice.

If you ’re a victim of injustice, contact their headquarters placed around all over the cities and villages and they shall help you out and investigate the matter.

Know that they ’re not corruptible.
They serve right under me.
They ’re the force completely separate from the military and the government and it only exists to help the common citizens of the fiefdom.

From now on, they shall be the ones serving you, the people.
They are the ones who will be protecting your lives and fight for you no matter who the criminal is.

They will not hesitate to even enforce justice regardless of the origins or the background of the culprits.

From now on, they ’re your swords and shields.

So using this occasion, I coronate the establishment of the force that shall be serving you till their last moments.

The name of this army is ” spoke Kahn in an enthusiastic manner as he revealed the name of the force he created.

”The Covenant. ”

Announced Kahn as he finally gave a name to the army he was creating from the 2nd day of his arrival in Verlassen.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Across the whole fiefdom, the battalions of gray armored soldiers marched in all the major streets and squares of the thousand of cities and villages.

In reality, the two millions of these armored forces were actually the criminals Kahn forced to accept the blood-bind contract and become his slaves.

When the top brasses were planning how to get rid of him, Kahn wasn ’t sitting idly.

He had been secretly visiting all the prisons holding these criminals sent from all over the empire to Verlassen and repeated what he did in the Riker prison.

And after the armors and weapons from the capital arrived, which were made by his Bloodborne company itself, Kahn was finally able to equip the first batch of two million soldiers.

This was already something he planned after the day he won the competition and had Albestros and Sirius work on it since then.

And now in nearly 25 days, he finally received the first shipment.
In the future, more batches were coming and his personal army was bound to increase in the numbers as the days went by.

Because one thing he knew was that he won ’t be able to truly control the corrupted law enforcement forces no matter how hard he tried.
And he simply didn ’t have any patience to wait for years to cleanse it.

So he was basically cutting off the infested limb of the body.

The members of the covenant had no free choice of their own after the slave contract he had them sign up using the blood-bind contracts.
And instead of relying on normal soldiers who were corruptible by any means..
He was going to use these people who were already sentenced to die as his own pawns.

Their lives were nothing but assets and he was going to use them to serve the common people.

The military was a completely different thing which he couldn ’t completely control as of yet.
And the honest people who lost their job because of his new announcement would be allowed to join the new forces he was soon going to establish after weeding out the corrupted ones, till then..

The Covenant forces would be his hounds.
The ones who would protect and kill as he willed.

The imposing and highly equipped soldiers of the covenant started taking command of various guard points, checkpoints and headquarters and took charge of the already established law enforcement agencies and offices.

In a single swoop, Kahn took control over this sector of the government without giving anyone a chance to think or put up any resistance.

This news completely bewildered all those who held power in various sectors of the government.
Because they felt like they were next.

This incident was no different than a hostile takeover but none of them could challenge it or voice their opposition in any way because the one to do it was the legitimate ruler of this fiefdom whose word was the law in this place.

So unless someone wanted to challenge Kahn ’s authority and get killed as a result of provoking the strongest guy in the whole fiefdom they couldn ’t even dare to voice an opinion.

Kahn then continued his broadcast and informed the entire populace about his biggest move that he had been preparing after coming to this place.

His biggest ace that would unquestionably cement his rule.

”From this day forth I establish a new judiciary system.
And it shall be called ” revealed Kahn and continued in a domineering and benign tone

”The People ’s Court! ”
