- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

Before knowing the identity of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, Bai Feng's plan was to announce his high-ranking aristocratic status with Li Jiancheng and others, and then go to the imperial capital through the empire in an open and honest manner, so as to deal with the conspirators hiding in the shadows.

Now that Bai Feng knew the origin of the Blue Bird Swordsmen's Order, and thus learned about the struggle for the throne within the empire, this was not necessarily a good opportunity for Bai Feng, and he had no intention of staying out of the battle for the throne.

A loyal vassal who is devoted to the empire may try to avoid a fierce struggle for the throne, but the aristocracy and careerists are willing to see the struggle for the throne arise, because such a struggle will give them more opportunities for development.

Throughout the ages, there is hardly any heir to the throne who can smoothly inherit the throne of the emperor; the succession to the throne is full of bloody wind and blood, and it is the nature of the nobles to participate in this kind of competition for the life and death of the family!

With the exception of the five founding dukes, who never participated in the struggle for the throne, the other imperial nobles were actively involved in this kind of thing, and the victors' families often developed by leaps and bounds, while the losers' families suffered from a plummeting position and had a harder time.

Of course, there are also some powerful imperial families, even if they are in the wrong position in the battle for the throne, they can make the new emperor put aside their past grievances by sacrificing the interests of their own family, in exchange for the opportunity for their own family to continue to develop.

Sophisticated imperial magnates and politicians will always usurp as much profit as possible in the fierce battle for the throne in the empire to strengthen their families, and even if they are on the wrong side, the intricate system of aristocratic bloodlines can save their families.

Take the current battle for the throne of the Tianlong Empire as an example, the eldest prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the eighth prince of the empire are all strong contenders for the position of emperor, but in the end, there can only be one prince who can obtain the throne of the emperor, and the magnates who support this prince are naturally heroes, and they will gain countless benefits and political chips after the new emperor succeeds to the throne.

The magnates who supported the other three princes had to surrender most of their power as losers, and even some of their family's fundamental interests had to be ceded in exchange for the winner's forgiveness and the acceptance of the new emperor.

The crux of the matter is that the losing magnates always have some good friends or cousins on the winner's side, and their close ties to each other will come into play at the right time to ensure that the losing magnates are not liquidated.

In the hundreds of years of history of the Celestial Dragon Empire, few high-ranking nobles of the earl and above have been liquidated and disposed of due to the struggle for the throne, and the imperial nobles who are accustomed to participating in the struggle for the throne have long formulated a set of systems and rules for fighting among nobles.

In Bai Feng's eyes, these laws among the imperial magnates happened to be an excellent opportunity for him to integrate into the upper echelons of the empire, and although participating in the battle for the throne within the empire would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the Bai family, it would also allow the Bai family to obtain many unexpected benefits.

The Bai family, which has two saint-level powerhouses, will soon become another newly promoted duke family in the empire, and coupled with the Bai family's control of the Llorente Province and the Eleventh Legion, this is a local powerful force that is worthy of any prince to pay a large price to win over.

Wasn't the reason why the Eighth Prince dispatched the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment he had painstakingly managed to attack Bai Feng, Li Jiancheng and the others was to gain the support of the five major families in the southern realm? Among the five major families in the southern realm, the strongest were undoubtedly the Long family and the Bai family.

The Long Teng and Long Ze of the Long Family are the saint-level powerhouses of the famous empire, and Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu of the Bai family are the newly promoted twin sword saints; any prince who has the support of the Long family and the Bai family is equivalent to the full support of the four saint-level powerhouses!

How many saint-level powerhouses are there in the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire? Including the two newly promoted Sword Saints of the Bai family, there are no more than twenty saint-level powerhouses in the Heavenly Dragon Empire known to the world, and among them, there are five hereditary dukes of the empire who do not participate in the battle for the throne.

In this way, the four princes vying for the throne can actually win over less than fifteen saint-level powerhouses, and on average, each prince can only attract a maximum of three saint-level powerhouses;

Therefore, up to now, except for the strongest eldest prince who has the support of a saint-level powerhouse, the other three emperors have not received the support of any saint-level powerhouse, and the saint-level powerhouse who chose the eldest prince is his maternal grandfather, the ** duke.

The Onassis family was originally only a family of counts in the Empire, and its current head of the family, Count **, served as the Minister of War of the Empire for many years and was deeply trusted by the Emperor, so it was only natural that his beautiful daughter became one of the Emperor's many favorite concubines.

Since the daughter of the **Earl gave birth to the eldest son for the emperor, the rising **Earl has also become the **Marquis;

The ** Marquis, who successfully advanced to the saint-level powerhouse, has become a ** duke, and the Onassis family has also successfully completed the transformation from the earl family to the duke family;

**The duke is not only a rare saint-level powerhouse in the empire, but also a high-ranking and powerful military minister in the empire; with such a grandfather supporting him, how can the power of the eldest prince not develop smoothly, and the strength of the Wind Thieves is also reasonable.

On the other hand, without the support of the saint-level powerhouses, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the eighth prince, it is not so easy for them to secretly develop their own power;

The weapons and equipment of the Blue Bird Swordsmen, the Dragon Slayer Knights, and the Phantom Demon Thieves were all bought by the three princes from the Rhine Merchant Alliance at a high cost;

The congenital gap made the fourth, fifth, and eighth princes have to unite to deal with the eldest prince, but uniting together in order to deal with the threat of the eldest prince is only an expedient measure for the three princes, and how to develop their own strength is the key to seizing the throne.

The Bai family in the southern region suddenly had two more saint-level powerhouses, and the news that was about to cause a sensation in the Heavenly Dragon Empire naturally took the first step to learn about it, and took extremely risky measures in a targeted manner.

Bai Feng, who had a clear idea, quickly made up his mind to make initial contact with the Eighth Prince, and next, even if the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment did not look for Bai Feng, Bai Feng would take the initiative to find the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, and he needed to meet the Eighth Prince who wanted to win the throne through the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment.

As for whether the Bai family wants to cooperate with the Eighth Prince, it depends on the price offered by the Eighth Prince; the Bai family, who has the capital to be sold at a price, naturally has to make the most beneficial choice for their family in the power whirlpool of the empire!
