133: Kingdom Political System

Therefore, Melita was primarily responsible for organizing this operation.

After annihilating the royal family members inside the Royal Palace, and considering the need for the news to spread, Melita did not immediately summon the officials and nobles in the Royal Capital.

Instead, she took out the magic communicator and said to the person on the other end:

"Victor, the subsequent clean-up work is up to you. First, eliminate the royal family members in Isaac Province and Munsstan Province.

Then, clean up the escaped fish in the other provinces. Try your best not to miss anyone!"

"Yes, Lady Melita, we will resolutely complete the mission!"

It turned out that to completely destroy the royal family, Arthur had handed over Victor and six other human Sky Knights to Melita's command.

They were meant to handle some clean-up work in the Late Stage, and now was their time to be put to use.

Following Melita's command, it was predictable that the Kate Clan would completely vanish from the history of this kingdom.

Half an hour later, Melita believed that what had just happened in the Royal Palace must have spread throughout the entire Royal Capital.

She then motioned for Joao to circulate his Battle Qi and project his voice across the entire Royal Capital:

"The Royal Family plotted treason and has been entirely slain by us.

If you do not wish to follow in their footsteps, all kingdom officials currently within the Royal Capital must immediately assemble in the Royal Palace's Grand Council Hall, with a time limit of two quarter-hours!"

As for why Melita did not speak herself, it was because she was a mermaid, and her voice was very pleasant and melodious, lacking any deterrent force!

Joao's voice was accompanied by his faint Dragon Might, so as soon as he spoke, the entire Royal Capital fell into silence.

They must have been stunned!

At the same time, upon hearing these words, the officials who held positions within the Kate Kingdom instantly turned pale.

Because Melita and Joao could kill tens of thousands of royal family members without batting an eye, killing them would be effortless.

Although they could all guess that the purpose of Joao and Melita summoning the kingdom's officials was certainly to seize control of the kingdom.

This meant that as long as they performed their duties diligently, these officials should not be in too much danger.

But how could one not worry about working under such ruthless experts!

Therefore, upon hearing Joao's voice, the kingdom's officials all turned pale, as if their parents had died.

But under the deterrence of the two Legendaries, they had no choice but to nervously proceed to the Royal Palace.

Since Joao had called for all officials within the Royal Capital, not just the Advanced officials who usually attended court sessions.

Thus, thousands of people in the Royal Capital, wearing various official robes, were seen rushing towards the Royal Palace in the city center.

The Royal Capital was quite large, and half an hour was not a long time, causing everyone to hurry.

Moreover, if they said half an hour, you couldn't really arrive exactly on time; it had to be as early as possible, or a slight displeasure could lead to execution.

Normally, only forty or fifty people might enter the center of state power and attend the court sessions.

But it was not surprising that all the officials in the Royal Capital combined amounted to over a thousand people.

On the other hand, although Melita had given half an hour, everyone was clearly very protective of their lives.

In only about twenty minutes, over a thousand ranked officials in the Royal Capital had finished gathering in the Grand Council Hall inside the Royal Palace.

Melita was very satisfied with this, as it meant the remaining people were sensible and she wouldn't have to waste effort training them.

In fact, there could have been a few hundred more officials in the Royal Capital, but those hundreds were previously members of the Royal Family, and now that Melita had exterminated them, the number was reduced.

Before reaching the Grand Council Hall, the over one thousand officials of various ranks all walked past the plaza where over ten thousand members of the Royal Family had been killed.

That bloody scene made these officials tremble with fear.

Many pampered officials couldn't even walk steadily, constantly praying internally that Melita and Joao were not inherently cruel.

Although the Grand Council Hall was spacious, it was clearly unrealistic to have a thousand people stand reasonably inside it.

Except for the top hundred people in power who stood inside the Hall.

The rest could only stand neatly on the steps and plaza outside the Hall, enduring the scorching sun.

At the very front of the Hall, Melita and Joao, who had transformed into their human forms, were standing in the Void Realm, silently resting their minds with closed eyes.

Isaac, being a captive, could not move and could only lie humiliatingly beneath the throne that should have belonged to the king.

That is, lying at the feet of Melita and Joao.

This bizarre scene made the assembled officials understand even more clearly.

The era of the Royal Family was over; even their Legendary Expert could only lie humiliated on the ground, waiting to be slaughtered.

If these people wanted to survive, they could only submit to the new experts.

Although over a thousand officials had arrived in about twenty minutes, Melita was not someone who broke her word.

It wasn't until thirty minutes later that she and Joao slowly opened their eyes, looking down upon the kingdom's officials below.

The Kate Kingdom had five major departments: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Noble Council, the Judicial Department, and the Political and Legal Department.

Besides these five major departments, there was also one special position: the Chancellor, who was below one person and above ten thousand.

The person holding this position had certain jurisdiction and decision-making power over the other five major departments.

This position was specially established by the King to reduce his own burden.

It was not present in every country on the Continent of Gods; it mainly depended on the diligence of the King.

If the King was diligent, he wouldn't establish a Chancellor to divide his power; if he wanted to be a bit lazy, he would choose a loyal person to serve as Chancellor.

This was achievable on the Continent of Gods, where strength was respected.

Just like in the former Kate Kingdom, as long as Isaac the Legendary was present, the King could establish or dismiss a Chancellor as he pleased.

He could completely act as he wished.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance managed money and collected taxes, and the Ministry of Military Affairs managed the military.

The Political and Legal Department managed the appointment and promotion of officials, and the Judicial Department formulated and enforced laws.

What remained was the Noble Council, which was the most powerful and unique department in the entire kingdom.

The entire Kate Kingdom was composed of nobles of various sizes, which led to the creation of the "Noble Council" organization specifically to manage the nobility.

Even if a noble committed a crime, the kingdom's laws could not prosecute them; it could only be handled internally by the Noble Council.

Furthermore, the appointment and promotion of nobles had to pass through the Noble Council, so its power was immense.

However, according to convention, the true power holder of the Noble Council was the Royal Family, so after Melita eliminated the Royal Family, the Noble Council was now leaderless!

As for the remaining Ministry of Military Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Political and Legal Department, and Judicial Department, the positions of minister or vice-minister were also missing some people.

From this, it could be seen that the Royal Family's control over the entire kingdom was very thorough; the highest authority in every department had their people installed.
