One mountain can't accommodate two tigers!

In the past two years, Lennon's rise to prominence has put Lennon under pressure for no other reason than that he is younger than him, in other words, that he has more potential than him.

However, today Lennon suddenly received the news that it was said that he had only made meritorious contributions on the eastern border some time ago, and he was in the limelight, and the sharp blade that made himself jealous of himself who was eating the imperial grain in Wangcheng Mao was defeated and disappeared in the latest conflict on the eastern border, and his life and death were uncertain.

"Blade, I hope you kid won't just hang up like this! Without you, I might lose a lot of excitement in my life!" Lennon muttered to himself, looking up at the vast sky above the Great Temple.

Just as Lennon walked out of the Temple of Tampas, in front of a tall altar of the god of war in the temple, an old tiger old man was standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the raging sacrificial fire on the altar, silent.

The firelight reflected the wrinkled face of the old man of the Tiger Clan. Beside him, Legion Commander Hill, the supreme commander of the Temple Guard Legion, was carefully standing aside.

"Uncle Willis, that blade is a standout figure among the younger generation of the Empire, but I think you're paying too much attention to him. He is a small wing captain, even if he is the son of Furywind, can his life and death have any impact on the empire?" asked the old man beside him questioningly.

"Alas, Ciel, haven't you noticed the changes in the situation in the Empire over the years?" the old man sighed and said slowly in a hoarse voice.

"This ...... Hill's face was slightly red, and he said, "Uncle Willis, I haven't noticed any major changes in the situation in the empire in recent years!"

The old man glanced at Hill and said, "Hill, I don't deny that you are an excellent soldier and an excellent warrior, but you are not a qualified politician......"

The old man sighed lightly again, sighing for a long time, but Hill did not speak, still looking respectfully listening to the old man's instructions.

After a while, the old man said slowly: "If your mind can be more careful and more scheming, then it will be of great benefit to you!"

Then, the old man continued: "Ciel, do you know that you have the strength not inferior to the Lionheart, but why don't you even have the qualifications to challenge the Lionheart through the inspection of the Great Electoral College? That is because you lack the wisdom and scheming of the Lionheart, and the Emperor of Beamon, in addition to having unparalleled personal strength, is also indispensable to command so many Beamon races, and at this point, you cannot be recognized by the Great Electoral College without scheming!"

Hill's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and the old man's words stabbed him with a hidden pain in his life.

"I ask you, who of the four Overseers who are leading the troops outside right now?" the old man asked Ciel.

"Well, it should be Fury! Now the number of troops in the Northern Army is 180,000, and among the four major overseers, the number of troops under his command is the largest, even surpassing the Central Army under the control of the Lionheart Emperor himself. Hill replied without thinking.

"That's right," the old man said, "Now among the four major overseers, Fufeng is the most powerful!" In order to put down the rebellion in the northern steppe as soon as possible, the Lionheart Emperor not only gave him the right to expand his army independently, but also transferred most of the western expeditionary army to the northern army after the war against the Alpine Giant Khanate was over. That's why the number of the Northern Army grew so fast, from tens of thousands to 180,000 in two or three years. But now, those bandit groups on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang have basically been wiped out, and those goblin tribes and ogre tribes have also been severely damaged, and they can no longer pose any major threat to the empire, so why is the northern army still raising so many troops? You know, the Lionheart Emperor has hinted several times that Fury Wind has taken the initiative to disarm, but they have all been prevaricated by Fury Wind for various reasons. ”

"Also, in the composition of the entire Imperial army, almost half of the middle and lower-ranking officers were held by the Wolfe clan, who formed the cornerstone of the Empire's armed forces. In the event of a change in the political situation of the Empire, the loyalty of these grassroots Wolf officers to the Empire is debatable. You know, now Fury's reputation among the Wolf clan has greatly surpassed that of their own clan patriarch!"

"No, Uncle Willis, do you suspect that Fury has a disobedience to the Empire? How is this possible?" Hill looked a little surprised: "In the distribution of interests in the Empire, the Wolf clan has obtained benefits commensurate with their strength! Do they want to break the existing benefit distribution system? Do they have this strength? Can the other four clans agree?"

"Among our five major tribes, due to the population problem, in fact, the overall strength of the Wolf tribe should be the strongest. However, why is it that the Wolf clan has always been at the bottom of the five great clans, and even has the hidden worry of being eliminated from the five great clans at present? This is because we advocate individual martial arts, and the individual strength of the Wolf clan is the weakest compared to the four major clans of Rhine, Tygo, Pierre, and Pence. Our Beamon emperor is ultimately produced through gladiatorial battles between individuals, so in the history of the empire for thousands of years, the Wolf tribe has not been able to have a Beamon emperor, so the distribution of benefits obtained by the Wolf clan has always been the least of the five races. The old man said.

"Obtaining the throne through personal gladiatorial battles is a thousand-year-old tradition passed down according to the will of the god of war, in order to select the most valiant emperor for Beamon. It is undeniable that compared to the other four major clans, the Wolf clan has a great advantage in their large population, and their overall strength is indeed the strongest, do they want to use this to challenge the tradition that has been passed down by the Beamon clan for thousands of years? If they want to be the enemy of the four clans with the strength of one clan, they are still far behind, right? I don't think there will be anyone in the leadership of the Wolf clan who is so brainless, right?" Hill still didn't believe it.

"Well, such a simple truth, the Wolf clan naturally knows, so although they have been under the other four clans for a long time, they have nothing to say. However, the appearance of the boy gave them hope for the emergence of an emperor from the Wolf clan in Beamon. ”

"Uncle Willis, you mean the blade?" asked Ciel.

"That's right, it's that boy! He was already a ninth-level powerhouse when he was twenty years old, and he also had a talent for madness, and he was called a rare combat genius among the Wolf clan for hundreds of years, and I don't think it's fake. He has such a ability at a young age now, and given time, he does have the qualifications to win the throne. ”

"Uncle Willis, if Furywind's son can use this normal route to obtain the throne, it will be understandable. How does this have anything to do with Fury's disobedience to the Empire?" Hill was still puzzled.

"Alas, Fury Wind should not have any disloyal thoughts towards the Empire, but it is difficult to say about the Lionheart Emperor. The old man shook his head.

"Uncle Willis, what the hell is going on?" Ciel, sensing something in the old man's words, asked cautiously.

"I think you've heard rumors in the Empire that the Lionheart Emperor has decided to emulate the human hereditary system of succession to the throne and decide to abandon the inheritance method of obtaining the throne through personal fighting, right?" the old man said.

"Well, there have been such rumors before, but ......," Hill was shocked and exclaimed, "Is the rumor true?

"I think the Lionheart Emperor is really moved by this thought. Did you know that Lionheart has tested our Election College several times on this matter? The old man said.

"Uncle Willis, I see, do you mean that Fury Wind also got this news from other sources, so he is holding on to his military power like this? If one day the Lionheart Emperor really changes the system of succession to the throne that has been passed down from our Beamon for thousands of years, he will raise an army to rebel?" Hill asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, if that were to happen, it would be a great disaster for all of Beamon...... This happened once 600 years ago, and in the end it gave the Byzantine Empire an opportunity to take advantage of it, which eventually led to a tragic "frozen change"! Alas, for such a painful historical lesson, why are our descendants so forgetful and once again lost themselves in the face of the temptation of power? Power, what a devil that makes people lost....... The old man sighed.

"Uncle Willis, I see why you are so concerned about the life and death of the blade. If Blade really dies like this, when the time comes for the Lionheart Emperor to change the system of succession, Fury's opposition will be much less intense, and he may not resist much at all. Now that his son is dead, no one in his family has the ability to obtain the throne through personal force, and even if he maintains the imperial succession system of the empire, he will only be making a wedding dress for others for nothing!, so he may well have acquiesced to the Lionheart's actions in the end!" Hill said thoughtfully.

"Yes, and the Lionheart Emperor's chest is only large, he has ruled the country with iron and blood for many years, and the empire is already under his firm control, otherwise he would not have such a mind that defies the world's disapproval. Although Fury Wind has the strength to resist him, in fact, Fury has little chance of succeeding. For the sake of not having anything to do with his own interests, I don't think Fury would give it a gamble with his own net worth and life. The old man said.

Hill was silent.

When he suddenly knew that the Lionheart Emperor had the intention of changing the throne to hereditary, the anger in his heart was greater than the shock. There is no other reason, that is, Lionheart's move will deprive other Beamon races of their eligibility to claim the throne. And there is no doubt that in addition to the members of the Lion Clan, the equally brave members of the Tiger Clan are the most likely to become the emperor of Beamon in the individual gladiatorial battle for the throne. In his own case, he was confident that he could fight Lionheart with his personal strength, thinking that he was so close to the opportunity to challenge Lionheart, but he was ultimately defeated before the Electoral College delivered the wisdom puzzle that needed to be completed, and he was not qualified to challenge Lionheart.

Until someone gave him hope again.

And that man was Lennon.
