Cross, the king of the forest country, is more than 500 years old, even if it is an elven clan, according to the average lifespan, in a few decades, Cross will also be ancient, and it is a matter of time before the throne changes hands.

Cross gave birth to a total of fifteen princes and thirteen princesses, except for the untimely death of the thirteenth prince and the early death of the twelfth princess Jenny, the other princes and princesses are still alive.

Clos, who is weak by nature, hesitated on the matter of the crown prince, originally thought that the eldest prince Augustine would be recognized by most forces, plus the second prince Lanarith and the ninth prince Ingram were Auguston's sworn friends, Auguston's control of the situation was much easier, but Augustine was brutal by nature, which was disliked by Cross;

Another group headed by the seventh prince Hofton is also actively vying for the crown prince's position, followed by the third prince Ning Keta, and also has the support of the sixth prince Gufulin, the foundation of this group is to Shilin, middle and senior officer class, the strength can not be underestimated, but unfortunately, although the upper position may make a difference, but the beginning of the ascension will definitely cause turmoil in the forest country;

The third group with the strength to win the crown prince is the group headed by the eleventh prince Saradosa, followed by the eighth prince Valdés and the twelfth prince Iqwob, although the prince of this group is younger, but Saradosa is the biological son of the current queen Kaisha, and the background is a powerful foreign relative force, and Cross does not like it because the interference of foreign relatives will cause the already declining empire to collapse even more.

The other princes are either mediocre in strength, or they have no intention of joining in the seizure of the heir, either hiding and idle, or running to their own fiefdom to be their own soil emperor.

"Nine kings take the heir!" Higg laughed, "Uncle Benjamin, don't you have other ideas?" ”

Benjamin smiled awkwardly and said: "My father is still in good health now, even if he is crowned the crown prince, he may not be able to sit on the throne, not only that, but he will also cause eternal enemies and troubles for himself!" I don't have the clan power like Auguston, I don't have the power to unite Shilin like the Seventh Prince, and I don't have the help of my relatives, even if I am crowned crown prince, I can only watch others drive me down! Take your time, take your time! ”

"Don't forget, you still have our strong army!" Lan Xian'er said with a smile, "Earl Marshal of the Fifth Legion of Alasia, the limelight is not covered!" ”

"Hehe, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake!" Benjamin smiled, "I know my own strength!" ”

Higg shook his head, then said with a smile, "Let's wait until we see the Elf King!" ”

……

"See Father, See Your Majesty!" Benjamin led Higg and the others to Cross's palace and bowed.

"Excuse me!" Cross, who was old, gasped and said, "Wang Er just returned to the city yesterday, and he said that if he reported to his father, let's talk about what is important!" ”

"Father, the druids have fallen to the Arad camp!" Benjamin said without hesitation: "This matter is very important, and the child has seen it with his own eyes, and he does not dare to hide it, so he has come from the base camp of the Silent Forest to inform his father, hoping that he will deal with it!" ”

"Nonsense!" Cross said angrily, "If the druid really made a move, wouldn't the father still know about it?" ”

"It's true, Father!" Benjamin said, "At this time, Field Marshal Higg, Count of the Fifth Legion, testified that it was Marshal Higg who led the battle against the Druid Legion at the base camp of the Silent Forest, and the boy was also in the army at that time!" ”

"Oh, Marshal Higg, Count?" Only then did Cross look at Higg and the others.

"Your Majesty knows this treasure?" Higg handed the Dryad Bow to the guards, who passed it on to Cross.

Cross suddenly got up, and Cross, who had snatched the bow of the tree elf, asked in surprise, "Who are you?" ”

Benjamin hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Father, Marshal Higg is the biological son of Sister Jenny, your own grandson! ”

Cross sat back down in his place and said, "Jenny's son, Marshal and Count of the Fifth Legion? Then what did you come to this king for, did you want justice for your mother? ”

Higg smiled and said, "I'm coming back to recognize my relatives!" It's just that I wonder if Your Majesty has any remorse for what happened back then? ”

"Confession? Hey! Cross said, "This king has lost his beloved daughter, although he hates your father to the core, but time has passed, they have both become ancient, and I am on the verge of death, those grievances, if you don't mention them, I will forget them a long time ago!" It would be even more painful if we were still struggling with this kind of thing! To be able to see with his own eyes that Jenny's son can have such an achievement today is a lot of relief in his heart, but the Si people have passed away, and this king does not want to mention sadness again! ”

Cross said, leaving his seat and going down the stairs to look at Higg himself.

"Good, good!" Cross returned the Tree Elf's bow to Higg and said in a loud voice, "Presumably Michael's heroism back then was nothing more than that, hahaha!" Michael, although this king hates you and never regrets what he has done, this king still wants to thank you for sending a good grandson to this king, ahem! ”

Cross coughed lightly, and Benjamin was about to step forward to support, but was gently pushed away by Cross, and then asked: "Presumably these young talents must also be heroes in the world!" ”

Lan Xian'er stepped forward and said, "Granddaughter-in-law Lan Xian'er see His Majesty Grandpa!" ”

Daniel, Nicole, Noah, and Pantony also stepped forward to see each other again.

"Granddaughter-in-law?" Cross looked at Blue Fairy, then at Daniel, and laughed, "The young heroes of today's world are really happy to gather in the Elven Palace of this king!" Come, give a seat! ”

Instead of returning to his throne, Cross asked someone to move a chair over casually, sat down beside them, and said, "Since we are all a family, there is no need to be restrained!" Since you have gathered together to find this king, of course, it will not be as simple as reporting the druids, so if you have anything, just say it! ”

When they met and laughed to extinguish their enmity, Higg thought about questioning Cross about his father and mother, but when he saw Cross who was old, the feelings of blood thicker than water came to his heart, although he was a little lost, but the heavy stone that had been entrenched in his heart for many years seemed to have landed, and his body and mind were relaxed.

"Tell me the truth, Your Majesty!" Higg said, "We are here to know His Majesty's attitude!" ”

"Does Lord Marshal want to listen to the tone of my Forest Country, or does he threaten this king to choose to stand aside?" Cross's face changed, and he said, "If I choose a different camp from the marshal, how will the marshal deal with himself?" ”

Higg smiled and said: "Naturally, I can't control which side Your Majesty chooses to stand on, but Your Majesty knows very well in his heart that the Forest Country has no choice, and there is no way out if you choose to stand in the Arad camp, and although choosing to stand in our camp is also in danger of losing the country, at least there is still a glimmer of life, it depends on how Your Majesty decides!" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Cross said angrily, "No one has ever dared to threaten this king like this in this temple, Marshal Higg, do you think you will eat our forest country?" ”

As soon as they met, Benjamin hurriedly stepped forward to stop Higg from continuing.

Higg ignored it and continued: "Your Majesty, please listen to me! The biggest crisis of the forest nation is not the question of whether to choose a side or not, but the problem of the forest country itself. The forest country has been walking on the road of the kingdom for a thousand years, for a thousand years, the forest country has exhausted all its sharpness, blood, bravery, and now as long as there is any force to intervene in the forest country, I dare to say, with the current national quality and tactical literacy of the forest country, the country is not far away! The other subjects of the Forest Country can't see clearly, and His Majesty himself can't see clearly? The woes of the Forest Nation are not in the druids, not in Arad or Catherine, but in their own self-destructive walls, within their own walls! ”

Cross's eyes suddenly lit up, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, trembling all over, and then said slowly: "Even if the forest country is terminally ill, what can it do with everyone here, the forest country will not die or not, and the forest country will decide for itself!" ”

Higg stood up and said, "Your Majesty, who said it has nothing to do with me?" My mother is Princess Jenny, half of my blood is an elven royal family, how can I ignore the rise and fall of the Forest Empire? But I'm not attached to any throne, I just want to have a strong ally! ”

Cross said in a trance: "Since I think that since I took the throne, this king has been conscientious, working hard, and loving the people like a son, but I don't want the national strength of the forest country to decline, and it is much worse than the ancestors, this king is puzzled!" ”

"The forest nation doesn't need a king who loves his people like a son, it needs an iron-blooded monarch!" ”

"What did you say?" Cross said angrily, "How dare you ask this king to be a mean and ungrateful king? ”

Ignoring Cross's anger, Higg continued: "The Forest Nation has the best resources and the best soldiers in the world, but the inertia of the current citizens of the Forest Nation has rotted to the roots, and no one can save this country, unless this country dares to do something that is broken!" ”

"Break and stand?" Cross even took the case, "You dare to ask this king to be the king of the dead country?" Someone, take down this megalomaniacal! ”

Higg smiled, ignoring Cross and sitting back in his seat.

More than a dozen guards surrounded Higg and the others, so anxious that Benjamin didn't know what to do, he knew that Higg was so capable of causing trouble, so he didn't bring him here, and now he was out of control, how would he end up.

I saw Cross reluctantly wave his hand at the guards and said, "Stand down!" ”

Seeing Cross thoughtfully, Lan Xian'er got up and said, "Your Majesty, although Higg said a little excessively, it makes sense!" The biggest mistake that the Forest Nation is falling into now is to cling to the legacy of their ancestors, instead of taking what belongs to them! No king has won the world on top of the temple, and the real founding monarch must expand his territory by himself. The forest country does not need a king above the temple, but a king who rules the world, please think twice, Your Majesty! ”
