Chapter 113: The Kane Family's Long-cherished Wish
The capital of the state of Ramar and the sea capital of Ordis was the second largest city in the Erebonian Empire, with a population of 400,000. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Haidu, as the name suggests, is the state capital by the sea.
Built along the coast, backed by the mouth of the Anoru River, the mother river of the empire, Ordis has the largest seaport in the entire Western Continent. Merchants from all over the world gathered here, bringing together goods from all over the world, making Ramar the most prosperous state in the empire, and the Duke of Kane's family, which governed this place, rose to become the first of the "Four Famous Families", the first in the aristocratic sequence, and second only to the royal family in influence.
At this point, the Kane family was still not satisfied, and they wanted to get rid of the second most important family, the ruler of the empire, after Erebonia, an ambition that had lasted for hundreds of years.
However, the Arnor family has been reigning in the empire since the Dark Ages, and it is deeply entrenched, and despite several catastrophes, it is still standing and unshakable. Wanting to replace it, whether it is an internal coup or a cavalry rebellion, there is not the slightest possibility.
Because the aristocracy attaches great importance to fame, if the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done.
In order to achieve the name of righteousness, the Kane family made a plan early on, a plan to introduce royal blood. As long as there is royal blood in the family, even if it is only a side branch, there is also the possibility of competing for the throne.
It's a pity that the Arnor family is the "Ancient Bloodline", and the inheritance of the family follows a very ancient system, and there is very little bloodline outflow, and it is difficult for the Kane family's plan to make progress until the appearance of that emperor.
Belus V, one of the disgraces of the Arnoor family, not only has no way to govern the country, so that the strength and influence of the royal family are weakened, but also greedy for flowers and lust, and has many concubines in the harem.
Among the concubines, there are many noble daughters and concubines of great noble families in various places, and the intentions of these families are clearly revealed-hoping that their daughters can give birth to a prince so that they can compete for the supreme position that countless people covet.
Among them, the earliest and most spared no effort is the Kane family, with the status of the head of the "Four Famous Families", the noble daughter of the Kane family successfully ascended to the position of concubine.
The reason why she is a concubine and not an empress is because the first emperor made a marriage contract for Belus as early as when he ascended to the social world.
Although the queen is not the noble daughter of "The Four Famous Families", she is also a count's family with a long history, and her ancestors have produced many queens and concubines, and it is understandable to marry into the royal family. The queen herself is virtuous and virtuous, and after her marriage to Bellius V, she wholeheartedly assists her husband, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good.
At that time, Belius was still a positive and good young man, and he had made a lot of contributions with the assistance of his wife (who was not yet the queen at that time), otherwise he would not have been made the crown prince by the first emperor and finally ascended to the throne.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and within a few years of Bellius V's succession, the queen had a difficult birth, and died after giving birth to her eldest son, Manfret.
From then on, Belius was like a changed person, ignoring the government all day long, indulging in wine, so that the national strength was weakened, the lord was weak and the minister was strong, and many careerists were ready to move.
In the year 947 of the Qiyao calendar, Belius V died, and the hidden danger that had been buried for many years finally broke out.
A few days after the death of Bleus V, the crown prince, the undisputed heir to the throne, was assassinated by unknown persons and died on the eve of his accession to the throne.
Immediately afterwards, the son of the imperial concubine, the fourth prince Otellus, raised an army to take control of the imperial capital Heimdall. After completely liquidating the opposition, he declared his "accession to the throne" and proclaimed himself emperor. (Tut, look at this style, eighty percent of the crown prince was killed by his people.) )
The other half-princes followed suit, and with the support of their relatives of the great nobles, they announced their "accession to the throne". (Four princes, four famous families.) )
After five years of bloody civil strife, "The Lion Campaign" began.
Five years later, "The Lion Campaign" ended with the third prince Delaikels, the third prince, who was not favored by anyone, attacking the imperial capital and killing the already completely insane Ottrus.
Drakells is known as the ancestor of the Empire and the greatest "Lionheart Emperor", while Otrous was nailed to the pillar of shame in history along with his father Bethleus V and gained the notoriety of "Puppet Emperor".
This is the beginning and end of the well-known "Lion Battle" in the empire, but the world does not know that the "pseudo-emperor" Otellus has left a descendant, and before the final battle, he entrusted his henchmen to bring him out of the imperial capital, brought into the Kane family, and became the heir of Duke Kane, in order to make a comeback.
For two hundred and fifty years, the Kane family never forgot the legacy of Ortrus, and finally launched a plan in 1204 to unite most of the nobles to rebel in order to regain the glory of their ancestors and fulfill their long-cherished wish.
The plan was very successful at the beginning, in just one month, occupy the imperial capital, imprison the royal family, suppress the regular army, occupy the major cities of the empire, and control 6% of the territory...... Everyone, including the Duke of Kane himself, believed that they would soon be victorious.
However, this beautiful blueprint was ruined by the adopted son of a low-ranking aristocratic family of unknown origin!
Starting with the protection of Princess Elfin, the second person assisted the 4th and 5th Mecha Divisions in "Double Dragon Bridge" to capture the mecha soldiers, causing heavy losses to the Crutchen State Territorial Army; then blitzed the Nolde Plateau, recaptured the "Surveillance Tower", assisted the 3rd Division A to defeat the Nodia State Territory Army, swept the Esingert Mountains, and forced the Marquis of Rogner to trap the "Black Dragon Pass"; Then he returned to "Double Dragon Bridge" and opened the gate of "Double Dragon Bridge" with a guide gun that he didn't know from, causing the fortress to fall, and more than half of Kruqin State fell! (The matter of picking up Jusis is a small matter, not worth mentioning.) )
This man and his collaborators have become a great problem for the Kane family's great cause, and if they can't be co-opted, they must be eradicated!
This man's name is Ryan Schwarzer, known as "The Grey Knight".
- After carefully reading Rien's information, Kane made a decision and gave an order to two of the most powerful and trusted generals in the coalition, Aurelia and Volres: let the Gray Knight know how powerful we are, so that they can further win over or eliminate them.
Unexpectedly, Aurelia and Vores had just started to prepare, and they both disappeared very strangely, and their whereabouts are still unknown.
Duke Kane did not give up, and returned to his long-lost home in person, where he met with two of the most important collaborators who were guarding the town, Chloe Ambst of the Knight of the Sky and Vita Klotide of the Witch of the Abyss.
The first thing we said when we met was-
"I'm going to win over or eradicate the Grey Knight, and I need your help."
Conspiracy is stupid.
