Chapter 77: Chapter 77 - REVOLT
A thought came to my mind as I looked at elder Zongfa and ask "Elder Zongfa, What happened after that? Did the great houses tried to fight back again?"
"...Yes, they did and that time not only were the great houses were attacking the federation but they were also supported by the 4 royal families"
"All four of them! ...Then it was an all out war." I asked in confirmation.
"Yes it was. and it wasn't that favorable for us back then."
"Then what was the results?"
"Well... The Alliance Federation was outnumbered by 32 to 1 and it was also being attacked by all sides because of its location being at the center of all the continent."
"And even with the 8 Grand Elders we were slowly being drowned by the massive losses amounting in every fight we fought."
"When it looked like we were about to be at the losing end of the war something incredible happened." He stopped as it looked like he was reminiscing something in which he wasn't even a part of.
"So... what was the incredible thing that had happened?" I asked as it looked like he wasn't going to come out of his imaginations anytime soon.
My words didn't completely bring him back from wonderland but it still did the trick as he absentmindedly answered me "The REVOLT happened."
"Revolt?"
"Looking at the things the kingdoms were doing to their beloved Alliance Federation, All the subjects from all four kingdoms started a open rebellion that sweeped the whole continents like moths to a flame."
"Every single subject ranging from Class C to Class A picked up arms against their own kingdoms forces and supported the Alliance Federation at it's most desperate time."
"Even the disgusted Class D were also among them and they actually made up most of the numbers in front side of the revolt."
'So they were the cannon fodders. Pity them, even while wanting to help someone who refused to help them they still did and are the ones to die the most too.'
"And by the end of the month when the revolt had started it became so big that not even the great houses combined with the forces from the royal families could contend with them."
"Even if the royal and great house forces had a lot of cultivators they were still outnumbered to 200 to 1. So in almost a year since the revolt the fight went to such a degree that the royal houses could not help but sign a GOD's Eye contract with us."
"GOD's Eye contract? Whats that."
"It's a contract made by the holy representatives of the desired religion. Using that contract meant you were signing a contract that had the god of that religion as the Notary."
"And What would happen if one were to... break it?"
"Then only one thing awaited for them...
DIVINE PUNISHMENT"
Suddenly a huge flash of lighting occurred in the training fields as a person casted his most powerful lighting spell that destroyed a large size of the training field.
As the lighting occurred I was in my own mind thinking of a lighting coming from the skies and hitting some one right on their bald head.
I shake my head out of the thought.
"If you don't mind me asking... What was in that contract?"
"Well it's not a secret so I can tell you."
"There was three things that was included in that contract."
"First, No Kingdom shall declare war or cause harm to another unless their was a valid reason for it.
Second, The Alliance Federation can move to any kingdom and conduct it's investigations and can make their own judgements unless it was unjust.
Third and the most important, The Alliance Federation can have its own place of employment that they can freely do whatever they want and also anyone inside that place will be under the rules of the Alliance. No one can do anything inside that place no matter which class or where they have come from."
I listened to the rules and had some thoughts of my own.
'Looks like the great houses and the royal families were fu*ked hard by how heavy the rules sounded. Specially the second rule. That just gives the Alliance Federation the power to do almost anything to any kingdom...
Now this looks like one of those guys who you could not f*ck at all.
Not even behind their backs.'
'But the third rule seems a little odd to me. Where is this place of employment the rule had stated.'
Not understanding it I asked Elder Zongfa. "Elder, Where is this place of employment you said right now? I don't think you mentioned it while recounting the history."
"Well the reason I didn't tell you about that place because back then there was no place like that to begin with." I was even more confused at his words.
"The reason why their was a rule like that because it was to add future developments to the Alliance. But it became even more."
"Oh, Is it this place?"
"No. Before you came inside did you see a floating building up in the skies." Elder Zongfa asked.
I nodded and said "Yes, There was a big building high up in the clouds."
"That's the one. That is the place of employment you were asking about."
"If you don't mind Elder, what does that place do exactly?"
"To be simple, it's an Academy."
"That is the place where we teach the next generation of rising flames. We teach them everything we can about mana, how to fight and how to protect and when they are ready, we let them spread their wings and see how far can they fly."
'So that floating place is the real deal then. I knew that place was an arc, it just gave off a huge vibe like that.'
'That is the place where the main characters and the female heroines will arrive and the real story will begin.'
'The place where their will be the start of grand friendship, eternal rivalries, huge harems and the start of a massive adventure where they prove their worth.'
'Now that I look at it with the full picture intact, It sounds quite boring actually. Except for the female heroines and harem part everything else felt kinda mundane.'
"Elder Zongfa, If one wanted to apply at that place, what would that person need?"
Elder Zongfa knew that I was talking about myself so he smiled and said.
"If you want to get admitted their then you would need to be at least Expert realm in Level ONE and get chosen among the many people in the lottery... But I believe that if you were to try then you would be chosen for the admission."
'That awfully felt like he was telling me that I should apply there and that I would get in too.'
"Elder Zongfa, one last question. What happened to the 8 Grand Elders?"
