Lord Shadow

Chapter 1463 Old Faces



Beside Arno, sitting on the chair is a woman dressed in white.

She was a beauty with a pale white flawless skin.

Everyone who saw her knew wo she was. She is also one of the people that tries to fight Death Monarch in the past

Before she was five feet five.

Now, the years had been kind to her.

She is now six feet two, a little taller than before.

She still retains a bit of that cuteness she has before, but there is a certain maturity to her.

If before she could be considered cute, now, she is blossoming into a beautiful young woman

She sits there elegantly, below her platforms are her devotees.

This is the White Witch Giselle.

In the past, there is the title of Holy Lady but to her enemies, she is the White Witch.

In the Weronian War, she helped many of the resistance but to the enemies she reverses the gate of life to death, reverses health to illness and bring all that is good and life nourishing to a nightmarish version of death stealing calamity

It was during the Weronian War, that the world could see how dangerous this woman could be. Still, sitting there she retains her elegance.

And those who have spoken to her in the past all could not help but remember that each time she spoke, it is of gentle voice and full of compassion.

Arno and Giselle had been reported to be dating each other. But no one knows whether this is true or not.

Arno and Giselle did not seem to be talking with each other but no one thinks much of this. The camera then pans to another person.

Sitting not far away from the World Government faction is Oreki the Thunder Monarch

He is smiling as he looks at the camera.

Houtarou Oreki could not be compared with Arno as he is more famous and more powerful.

Even though he is still in Disk Formation, many people in the world believe that it would not be long now before Oreki would also enter into the ranks of Hikigaya.

Since the beginning of the Fall, Oreki progress has always been parallel to Hikigaya thus they were also dubbed the Two Great Warriors of Japan

There are many warlords that rises after the Fall, but in Japan, there is only two people that outshined everyone else and make the world remember their name.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Houtarou Oreki.

Such a person fame has long outshined an officer like Arno. Arno, even though he is quiet famous, he is an official under the World Government

How could it be compared to a warlord like Oreki who holds military force independently?

He has many titles. In the past he is known as the Swift Dragon and Dragon of Echigo.

He is also known as the Thunder Lord, controlling thunder as a weapon and sweeping most of the territory of Japan with that superiority

He is sitting there with lightning sometime shoots from his eyes and swirls around his body. That must be the reason the distance between him and Arno is quite far

Just by looking at him, one could see how dangerous he is and how powerful he seems to be.

The area around him is very hot. Even though these thunders sometimes shoot out of his body, it is not something he could control.

Some people heard that just a few days before, Arno had gone to the Sea of Thunder to recharge himself

Some said, he was there to comprehend a new move. There are many speculations but everyone agreed on one thing

And that is the fact that Oreki went to the Sea of Thunder.

Below the platform is his private elite unit the Raijin Army. Today, he seems to bring his Spear Unit.

The sight of his soldier is also a daunting sight for the rest of the world. They stand there straight and even just by looking at them on the screen one could feel the force that they seem to exude.

A true professional elite unit that solely loyal only to Oreki.

Then the camera pans again this time showing the Emperor of Wei, the nominal leader of the Lotus Order and he usually sit in the Throne of the Lotus Palace.

China is not unified and there is still a lot of warlords vying for power.

As for the Lotus Order, they have to rely on the World Government, Republic and Pandemonium m to maintain order in the begging and because of how big Asia was, decentralization of power was the trend.

Unlike the other world powers, the Lotus Order is like the Emperor court and Emperor of Wei is the Emperor. But his orders are not entirely followed.

For example, in China itself, some provinces and prefecture that have a strong man could sometimes ignore the directive of the Imperial City itself.

Not to mention that the Lotus Order is not an organization for China.

But for Asia.

And in Asia, tigers and dragons roams together and fight each other, evenly matched from the warriors in the rural village of Indonesia, to the warlords on the islands of the Philippines, to the king and queens at the northernmost point, there is tigers and dragons.

The only exception to this battle for power and influence is Japan

Even though Japan is an Asian country, it is not recorded as part of the dominion that falls into the Lotus Order purview because Japan is one of the founding members of the World Government

However, this decentralization of power also makes it easy for the top ranking member of the Lotus Order to leave their headquarters.

Most of the leaders of the world powers here did not bring all of their forces. Many of them are still in their headquarters, standing guard.

But the Lotus Order could bring all of their forces without worrying Asia will be attacked. Not only because Asia itself is now even bigger, but also because the warlords that governs large area of land would defend their land by themselves if they are being attacked and does not need the Imperial City orders or directives.

The Emperor of Wei is not known to many people. In other words, this person is very stable. Asia is not an easy place to rule, with so many competing factions but he could still sit on the seat of the Lotus Order.

One could say that he is very stable and did not make many enemies.

He did not wear his dragon robe but instead wear a glistening golden armor.

He sat there solemnly, a three feet sword inside the sheathe on his left hip.

Sitting beside him is Arrayist Sage Lee Sangmin.

He is one of the top member of the Lotus Order and the advisor of Emperor Wei.

The walls of the city gate of the Lotus Palace is guarded by him and it is said even Death Monarch would think twice to try to break through by force

The Arrayist Sage ability to use arrays of formation to create miraculous effect is known and famous all over the world.

He even assisted in making the execution stands and added his own touch to some of the security measures implemented in the squares.

Lotus order did not have many people on the platform as most of them are not famous.

The camera pans to a few other generals but most of the world did not know these generals. This could not be blamed on the people.

It is because the Lotus order operates in Asia and Asia itself is large and after the massacre of monster all over Asia, other than japan, most countries in Asia is full of emptiness.

It is not barren but empty and so some people lives in seclusion and the matters of Asia is handled in Asia and they always kept a low profile

So, the camera simply shows these people for a few second

Then the camera shows the line up from the Republic. Jean and Hikigaya, the leader of their own faction did not sit on the second level so there is no Jean on the second level.

But there is the people of the Republic.

There is Paulette.

Just like the other Eye of God, Paulette is also a sniper. But her fame is clearly not as resounding as Nick.

However, she is most famous for being the girlfriend of Jean.

She has long hair and she wear military uniform but even then it could not hide her beauty. Jean rarely let her go to the battlefield, preferring to keep her alongside him.

Paulette herself while brave and resourceful, also did not find it bad that she could kick back a bit.

Her relationship with Jean is not of benefits but of true love, compassion, gentleness. Those who knows this couple all said the same thing

That they are a true couple in love.πžΈπ—π‘™xt.π‘πžΈπ‘€

Maybe, it is because they fight together or maybe it is because their shared hardship or maybe it is just fate and destiny

Whatever it is, they get each other and because of that, they did not calculate against each other.

They trust each other with their lives. It is a miracle how they met each other and how they ended up with each other.

Those who saw her beauty could not help but think this is the reason why Jean falls in love with her.

But, many people believe this isn’t the case

It must be noted that when Jean first met her, while she is beautiful, she is clearly not as elegant or as regal as she looks today.

Those who knows Paulette in the past all said that she is more like a guy than a woman.

She is tough as a cookie and she fought with the best of them

Those people who were there with Jean in the beginning all said that Paulette was one of the people Jean could trust and how he could easily gain power in France before sweeping all over Europe.

But they fall in love with each other all the same.

Paulette did not care how the world sees her and Jean is the same.

They care only how they see each other and that is the important part of their relationship. Paulette look at Jean on the third level of the platform and she could only sighed.

The camera did not catch this as it already shown the other person. Instead of sitting on his chair, he seems to be standing, looking at the distance

Not many people know who this person is because he wears a mask.

But to those people in the Republic and the people in the World Government they know exactly who this person is.

Null.
