The ultimate meaning of life lies in exploring the right answers to life's questions and fulfilling the mission that life constantly arranges for everyone.

—Victor Frank (Professor of Psychosology and Psychoanalysis)

The twin sword saints of the Bai family, Bai Haowen and Bai Haowu, the former head of the Bai family, Duke Bai Haotian, and the third generation of the Bai family, the strongest Duke Bai Feng;

In the past, the most powerful dragon family in the southern region, only the two saint-level powerhouses of Long Teng and Long Ze were dukes, and the five major duke families of the historical empire had only one duke, and there was no second duke at all!

Of course, this is also determined by the particularity of the five dukes' families; everyone in the empire knows that any one of the five dukes' families has at least two saint-level powerhouses, but the saint-level powerhouses of their families have not received the title of imperial duke.

Because at the beginning of the establishment of the Tianlong Empire, the five founding marshals with the greatest credit were also canonized as imperial dukes who would never be demoted; from that time on, there was only one imperial duke in the five major duke families, which became a tacit understanding between the royal family and the five major duke families.

For example, the Patel family, one of the five major dukes' families (originally the Watson family, was changed to their surnames as family names for the convenience of readers), and its current head, Duke Patel, is a powerful fifth-level water magister.

From the first generation of the Patel family, the founding marshal of the Patel family, to the current twelfth generation of the Patel family, Duke Patel, after hundreds of years, the Patel family, each generation of the head of the family is a powerful water magister, is this a coincidence?

Is it true that the Patel family, which is capable of cultivating twelve water type mages, can only cultivate one water type mage in each generation? There is almost no need to guess, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is definitely more than one water type mage in the Patel family, and there are at least two.

As for more saint-level powerhouses, that is not something that the Patel family can cultivate at all; the various resources required to cultivate a saint-level powerhouse are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even the royal family with the most resources cannot cultivate many saint-level powerhouses.

In the huge Tianlong Empire, there are not a few families with saint-level powerhouses, but there are only eight families with saint-level powerhouses that can reach two or more, namely: the five major duke families of the empire, the Long family and the Bai family in the south, and the imperial family headed by Charlemagne.

Everyone knows that the Dragon family in the south was once one of the most powerful families in the empire, and if it hadn't been in the wrong position in the shocking change twenty years ago, how could they have fallen into the current situation in a corner of the southern border?

Compared with the Long family, which moved to the south as a whole, the newly rising Bai family is undoubtedly more interesting to the magnates of the imperial capital, from the birth of the twin sword saints, to the transformation of a family of three dukes, and then to the current one of four dukes, the Bai family's development speed is really rapid.

Judging from the number of dukes alone, the Bai family with four dukes will surpass the five major duke families and the Long family, and become the family with the most dukes in the empire;

When Bai Mingcheng, the current head of the Bai family in the county town of Llorente, learned that the Bai family was named the first family of the empire by the nobles of the imperial capital, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to smell a smell of conspiracy.

As the head of the Bai family, Bai Mingcheng, whose title is still the marquis, knows the strength of the Bai family well; he knows that the so-called four dukes of one family are not so much an honor as a burden to the Bai family at this stage.

The Bai family's power is mainly concentrated in the southern region of the empire, and the overall strength is still far behind the dragon family, the strongest family in the southern territory; compared with the five major duke families of the empire with strong background, the gap between the two is enough to be described as a huge disparity.

It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of any one of the five major duke families in the empire can comprehensively crush the Bai family, which is in the rising stage, so for the current Bai family, striving for more development time is far more important than any meaningless false name.

And the name of the first family of the empire is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Bai family, threatening the weak Bai family at all times;

Bai Mingcheng, who has personally experienced countless storms and waves, knows that the mastermind behind the scenes who can contribute to the troubles in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital is definitely not a small family and a small force, which shows that the enemy against the Bai family this time is likely to be one of the most powerful ministers in the imperial capital.

Speaking of the most powerful nobles in the imperial capital, it is needless to say that the imperial prime minister and the five imperial ministers are not much more, and the three captains of the royal knights are also among them;

But there are very few people who really have the motive, ability, and courage to deal with the Bai family, and Prince William and the Minister of War, Duke Cullen, Prince Philip, the Duke of Boris, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Harry, and the Duke of Hammond, the Minister of Finance, are the most likely people.

The alliance between the Bai family and the Prince of Pros is a well-known thing in the circle of the imperial aristocracy, and the Bai family, which has been nesting in the southern region, has never offended any nobles except for the alliance with the Prince of Pros, so naturally no one will deliberately target the Bai family.

Therefore, the person who spread rumors and maliciously slandered the Bai family this time must be the opponent or enemy of the Prince of Pros, and the person who dares to oppose the increasingly powerful Prince of Pros will look at the entire empire, and the other three princes and their followers.

According to common sense, Prince Harry, who was courted by Prince Pross during the disaster, should not take the initiative to provoke Prince Pross's ally Bai Jia at the important stage of his slow recovery of strength; from this point of view, Prince Harry and Duke Hammond are not suspicious.

Most likely, it must be Prince William and Duke Cullen, who have always been in a-for-tat confrontation with Prince Flos, you know, to transfer Bai Feng, who led the army stationed in Nice Province, to the northern battlefield of the empire, but Duke Cullen made a suggestion.

Although Charlemagne compensated Bai Feng's title from the Marquis of the Empire to the Duke of Yulin of the Empire, forcing Bai Feng to give up the five eastern provinces that he had just recovered was a very heavy loss for both the Prince of GLP and the Bai family.

If Bai Feng can lead the army to be stationed in the five eastern provinces for three more years and five years, then Bai Feng, who has extremely high civil prestige, may manage the five eastern provinces recovered by him into the most solid rear for the prince of GLP to compete for the throne and the rapid development of the Bai family!

It is a pity that Charlemagne did not give Prince GLP and the Bai family such an opportunity, a new order is about to transfer Bai Feng, who is in the eastern battlefield, to the northern battlefield, and the five eastern provinces, which lack spiritual leaders, will soon return to the hands of Charlemagne.

Doding on his sons is the biggest flaw in Charlemagne's character; the six eastern provinces of the empire used to be the sphere of influence of Prince William, and Charlemagne, who regained the six eastern provinces, will still hand over the six eastern provinces to Prince William.

If you think about it along this line of thought, the motive of Prince William and Duke Cullen to deal with the Bai family is very clear, that is, to deal with the Bai family by dealing with the Prince of Pross;
