Chapter 344 - The Warrants
Chapter 344 – The Warrants
On the following day after the first-ever trial of the People's Court, Kahn and his army of the covenant soldiers that was allotted for the capital gathered in front of the main castle.
Nearly a million soldiers gathering in the open grounds of the estate owned by their sovereign had reached to all the top brass living in the capital and most of them felt a foreboding of war coming their way.
Hundreds of flying ships arrived in Kahn's residence that was separated from the common populace and spanned for 20 kilometers as it was the home of their sovereign.
Today, the six warships were also brought in as if Kahn was getting ready for the conquest of some sort.
Under his instruction, a million armed soldiers that were divided into 200 different battalions of armed and fully equipped in every aspect, occupied a flying ship of their own.
Generally, a large flying ship could carry 10 thousand people at once for long-term travel or even supplies in thousands of metric tons easily. So the reason why Kahn was using them today was unknown to many who served him.
"Mister Rotich, which is the biggest clan of the capital?" asked Kahn to his official aide.
"Sir.. It would be the Bolton clan. They are the biggest supplier of arms and monster resources and have their business empire spread across the whole fiefdom.
To put it in simple words.. They're the leviathan of the business organizations that even you shouldn't be messing around with.
Because their hold over the economy of the fiefdom is very strong." replied and explained the middle-aged man.
"Ronin.. Do we have something on them?" asked Kahn.
"Yes, my lord. The assassins you sent in the shadows of those ministers and semi-saints also made their way through the organization chairman.
As of now, we have discovered that the weapon manufacturing company that commander Aswala made the deal with is actually a front. This Bolton clan is the one who runs it from behind the scenes." informed the rogue subordinate.
"I see. Who's their strongest fighter?" asked Kahn.
"They have 4 peak grandmasters backing and protecting them." replied Ronin.
"Good. I guess the biggest guy in the business world does deserve a personal visit from me.
As for the rest.. keep our communication network active. Send our troops to the business organizations and clans already allotted to them.
You're in charge of handling the information network and if anyone puts up a resistance, inform me as quickly as you can." commanded Kahn.
Although it seemed like Ronin was the only person Kahn had put a lot of work on.. In reality, he was the most proficient one of all the generals whether it was information gathering, managing millions of people under a solidified organization or establishing a chain of command.
Unlike the rest.. Ronin was someone who not only had extremely lethal skills as an Assassin… he was someone who read and studied plenty of books and records related to army management, warfare and controlling an information network.
The rest were also busy at the moment with the tasks given to them by Kahn. So the rogue subordinate was the only one he could leave these matters to.
"As you command my lord." spoke Ronin.
Kahn then boarded on a warship of his own and sent the rest to different areas.
On this day… all the natives of the capital Aesir saw hundreds of flying ships and even a few warships flying to different parts of the capital all at once for the first time in their lives.
For many, they felt like some great danger was coming their way and their sovereign was forced to act quickly to fight against it.
But throughout the day… a scenario was created that shook the entire upper class of the economical sector of the Verlassen fiefdom.
Through the people related to the case of the commander, many other types of criminals who committed tax fraud, worked as land mafia and even forced people to sell their assets by kidnapping or murders were also revealed and the proof of their crimes was gathered by Kahn's assassins from over a week.
And first thing Kahn did today before their departure was that he issued a search and seize warrant for more than 200 big business organizations that they had proof against under his authority.
He also ordered various banks to freeze the assets and money kept in their accounts. So no one would be able to do the damage control.
And given no other choice, the banks and chamber of commerce had no other option but to follow their ruler's commands lest he targets them instead.
One by one, in hundreds of headquarters of these clans and renowned business organizations, Kahn's army of 5 thousand armed covenant soldiers started a search and seize procedure throughout all these organizations in the name of investigation related to crime against the fiefdom and its people.
Obviously, there was plenty of resistance but wherever such a situation arrived, the covenant soldiers handled it by force and if anyone tried to attack them, they killed the offenders on the spot.
By no means Kahn was going to allow anyone to look down upon his rule and authority. The innocent would never take such extreme measures so only the guilty parties would fight back.
Hence, using these warrants.. In just a single day, their forces basically seized all the resources, money and equipment as well as deeds of the properties owned by these people.
Just in a day, Kahn's forces also seized 120 new flying ships owned by plenty of major business organizations, clans and many government officials who they had proof against.
The news of the whole search and seizure scenario spread throughout the capital like wildfire in just a few hours and put fear in the minds of the ruling class. Instantly scaring them and forcing them to take measures against leaving traces of their black money.
So in simple words… by using People's Court as an excuse…
Kahn was robbing the rich and committing a..
Daylight Robbery.
