Chapter 678: Giving me such a good excuse, I won't take the opportunity to handle it!

"Bang!" Emperor Ivan threw the secret report in his hand to the ground fiercely, the veins on his forehead jumping, his face pale, his chest heaving violently due to extreme anger.

"Ulger! How dare he! How dare he kill Vladimir!!!"

The roar shook the dust on the palace beams and pillars down.

Vladimir being killed was not just a simple loss of a top combat power; this was simply rubbing the face of imperial power on the ground, and in front of the whole world, fiercely slapping him, Emperor Ivan, a loud slap!

How could he endure this great humiliation? He wished he could immediately raise his army, flatten the North, and smash that arrogant Wizard Ancestor into ten thousand pieces!

"Your Majesty, calm your anger! Your Majesty, think twice!" A group of ministers hurriedly knelt down to persuade.

"Your Majesty, May Tian Ce's million-strong army in the south is eyeing us covetously, the defense line has just stabilized, and we can't afford any more turmoil!"

"Your Majesty, the rebel Sergei is in full swing, having captured several cities in a row, pressing straight to the Holy Capital; at this time, we must not create another strong enemy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, that Wizard Ancestor can easily kill Venerable Vladimir, his strength is unfathomable, and the Northern wizards now all respect him as their master, with a huge force; if we conquer at this time, it may trigger a civil war, making our dynasty fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from the south, north, and west! At that time, Daluo will be in danger!"

The ministers spoke one after another, analyzing the cruel reality.

Ivan listened to these remonstrances, as if being poured with basins of cold water from head to toe.

How could he not know that the overall situation was important? But this suffocating anger, held in his chest, was simply going to make him explode!

Could it just be forgotten? Watching that rebel who despised imperial power become king and hegemon in the North, while he was helpless?

Ivan clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, blood seeping through his fingers, but he was unaware.

This unprecedented sense of grievance and powerlessness almost drove this emperor, who had always been self-willed, crazy.

Finally, Ivan still endured it.

If he didn't endure it, what could he do? As the monarch of a country, the most basic reason and overall view forced him to endure.

Throughout history, few emperors would choose to fight one of the strong enemies to the end regardless of everything when surrounded by enemies on all sides; that would be equivalent to self-destruction.

Normal emperors would choose to endure, stabilize the situation first, and then plan for the future.

Although Ivan was furious, he still had this ability to weigh the pros and cons.

However, who would have thought that Ivan could endure, but Li Chen could not.

At this moment, the name of Li Chen, the Wizard Ancestor, had spread like a prairie fire, with believers increasing to hundreds of thousands, spread across the North and the surrounding vast areas.

These tribes that had surrendered were not weak groups, but tribes with powerful strength and extraordinary talents.

The proportion of wizards in their tribes was extremely high, and wizards often had a very high right to speak and influence in the tribe.

Li Chen, as the Wizard Ancestor, was the symbol of the source of all wizard bloodlines, a living totem!

Which wizard dared not to obey the Wizard Ancestor's order? That reverence and devotion from the depths of their bloodlines made them treat Li Chen's orders as divine decrees. ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
