Chapter 1779: Sending the Army



The Western region is not a kingship.

Not because Athena did not want to be a king.

But because the west is too vats and Athena knows that she is not fit to lead. She is in a way like Freya.

She likes to fight but this did not mean she is rash

She did not have a strong foundation in Pandemonium and unlike Wang Jian, the banner she could hold is not many.

Wang Jian could hold the banner of being the most trusted general of Death Monarch

He also has many allies in the Central Court.

But she did not. And she also could not claim Greece as Greece is controlled by the Seven Warlords.

Wang Jian could rally on the Wei dissident and people of old Asia or more accurately old China.

Wang Jian himself still has many supporters there because his firing was actually very much debated and many people sympathizes with his plight

If not for Loki, Sina and Sofia saving him, he would probably died that day schemed by the politicians at court

So, he still has many supports in Wei and even in some parts of Old China, there is even people who would risk arrest to fled to Pandemonium to join him.

There is also many Italians' joining the Southern region and that is because of Milos and Eurus.

Even though that kind of nationality sentiment is eroding to the old generations it still has an appeal.

Thirty years is not enough to erode such powerful methods as nationalism.

Italian warlords could call upon Italian's people, just like Freya could call upon the Icelandic nations to rally upon her.

Raymond rally the Americans in the early years of the World Government, Oreki and Hikigaya rally the Japanese, Lee Sangmin rally the Koreans and so on and so forth.

But Athena did not have such power or influence to rally the people of Greek nations to follow her. Because they have other people to represent them in the form of the Seven Warlords

So, she had to choose a different way.

Maybe because of her name, she is really wise.

She knows early on that she could not use a centralized way to controls the people of her region like Wang Jian or Freya did.

There is too much manpower needed and too much resources needed to create such a centralized structure while at the same time hoping for prosperity.

She could not do both.

So, what she choose is the city states model.

She hold the biggest city and the most powerful army.

But there is hundreds of city states all over the west.

And all they need to do is to give him around ten percent of their tax in the form of energy stones and other resources to her city.

If they did not, then Athena would flatten that city. In a way, Athena privatized most of her regions.

She called herself an Archon and the other city states also follows the method. Some changes the system a bit.

Athena does not really care what the other city states do

Unless they violated some of her Iron Rule, she would not chastise or stop them.

There should be no slavery in Western region

There should not be massacre of civilian population. War between city states must be reported first to Athenia, the central city of the west

If the conflict between city states could be resolved through negotiations, it should be resolved in negotiations.

War should be the last measure.

This is the only faction she could be in Pandemonium and the other factions would not accept

her or too weak to make any splash.

She is now in her palace. Sitting on her throne massaging her temple, she sighs.

Her face shows annoyance and she clearly did not feel pleased. She had read Freya letters

before. But that is as good as showing her a blank paper. Whatever Freya wrote in her letter

could not change the outcome.

Probably Freya also knows it. But a certain attitude still needs to be shown. However, they could speak this only between them two and what they wrote to each other and said to each other must not be spread out

To the world, they must show that they are unified in stance and position. That is why she

sighed. Certain thing when done, could not be taken back.

Standing beside her is Demeter.

She is one of her generals and she is also frowning.

"What do you think?"

Demeter seems to be thinking for a second but it only takes her a second to think about it.

"Send the army"

"Just like that?"

"The position of pour power depends in the military faction. Unless you wanted to be

excluded by both sides, be steadfast and loyal"

Athena look at Demeter. Demeter is always calm. Athena is also usually calm. But now that

she has stabilized her power, it is time to reap the benefit.

Twenty years

She waited for this moment for twenty years. At the same time, she is already at the peak of

Disk Formation.

But her obsession is the wellbeing of her people.

Athena is a very honorable person.

She did not view loyalty and righteousness like Wang Jian but this does not mean she is a

dissolute person. Instead, she is more like a practical Wang Jian

She is loyal but what she had is not blind loyalty.

She give people three chances.

And after three chances is exhausted, she would decide what is best for her and for the people

she wanted to protect.

And because it is twenty years, feeling that the opportune moment is lost, she temporarily

lost her calm.

But Demeter is an observer looking in so she could see it more clearly. And Athena trusted

Demeter judgement

"Then send the army" Demeter nodded and she goes out of the palace
