Chapter 445: Conspiracy Ambition
Everything goes well for the East Sword people. When all the calculations were on a predetermined trajectory, in the hermitage of the Angel Clan in the hinterland of the Erathia Empire, the sudden return of Esreina caused an uproar among the Angel Clan.
After Catherine's abdication, the angel clan, which had already been divided into conservatives and radicals, was even more distinct, with both sides having their own opinions, no one could convince anyone, and everyone thought that their ideas were correct.
But before Esrena left with a small part of her clan, although the conservatives and the radicals had contradictions and quarrels were very fierce, on the whole, the contradictions were not intensified, and the two sides had no intention of parting ways.
But after Acerena's departure, the situation changed dramatically.
Because although the Imperial side wanted to appease the Angel Clan, which had become unstable after Catherine left, it did not pursue this matter too much, and after the patriarch of the Angel Clan, Acerena's grandfather Howard, made a promise that something similar would not happen again, he did not bother with it. But privately, for such a thing to happen. The Empire, on the other hand, was furious and secretly took certain measures to try to keep the Angels firmly in the hands of the Empire.
One of these measures is an effort to win over the conservatives among the angels.
No matter what race it is, there will always be some scum who are despised, and there will be some who will not hesitate to betray the existence of the race in order to satisfy their own selfishness. There are even some ambitious guys, and the Angel Clan is no exception.
Not all angels only like to study martial arts, not all angels like to live in seclusion, and some angels yearn for the luxurious life of the imperial nobility, and like the charming taste of power and money intertwined.
And the angels with such ideas are undoubtedly conservatives close to the empire, they quickly fell under the attack of sugar-coated cannonballs on the imperial side, and they hyped conservatism among the clan, putting forward the idea that the angel clan and the empire are inseparable, and the empire side in order to keep the powerful force of the angel clan, but also temporarily put aside inter-racial prejudices. I showed a very different enthusiasm from the past. And promised all kinds of favorable conditions to the Angel Clan, trying to return the Angel Clan to the situation when Catherine was in power and was willing to directly join the Emperor's ** team and accept the direct command of the Emperor's **.
But the radicals, of course, were reluctant to return to that situation, and most of the radical angels were supporters or sympathizers of Catherine. Most of them are young people, and they are greatly influenced by Catherine, who do not approve of the new emperor of the current empire. They are even more reluctant to die for them, unless the empire is on the verge of life and death, they will no longer fight for a single country.
As a result, the contradictions between the two sides became more and more acute, and the patriarch Howard was really troubled by this unprecedented situation.
And Esreina suddenly appeared in the clan. Undoubtedly, it added fuel to the fire and made the situation worse and worse.
As the first person in history who dared to openly split the ethnic group and run away with some of his clansmen, she is also the granddaughter of the patriarch. is still a well-known genius warrior in the clan, and Esrena is now a big name in the clan.
The beauty of her birth was originally the dream lover of many young men in the clan, and this deviant thing of running away made her extremely popular among the radicals dominated by the young Zhuang faction, after she left, her whereabouts and her current situation. It has always been a topic that radicals like to discuss.
Even some of the enlightened old men of the clan; There are also considerable expectations for her actions, and like Howard, they hope that in this difficult moment, someone can break the current game and let the Angels find another way out.
So as soon as she came back, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, Esrena's figure is one size smaller than that of ordinary angels, this situation is extremely rare in the clan, and it is quite easy to recognize, so she can't even hide her identity, and when she returns to the clan, she is immediately recognized.
Then in less than half a day, the news of her return spread throughout the group.
But to the disappointment of all the angels who tried to inquire about her and the runaway people from Acerena, not long after Acerena's return, she was ordered by the patriarch to be locked up on charges of splitting the clan, and no one was allowed to visit.
At the same time, there is a lot of talk on the conservative side because of Acerena's sudden return.
Compared to her popularity among the radicals, Esreina is a rather unsightly presence among the conservatives, a dangerous figure that threatens the relationship between the Angels and the Empire.
And such a dangerous person will be in the clan again, and he will definitely do something to endanger the alliance between the two sides again.
"This can't happen! The fact that the empire did not pursue the matter last time does not mean that it will not be pursued this time! And it is conceivable that if she tries to pull people away again this time, there will definitely be many more clansmen following her than last time! If this angers the Empire, then our people are really in danger! The powerful emperor ** team is not something that we can match with the strength of our clan! "In the midst of a sea of unhuman beings, a few conservative angel clansmen were secretly discussing Ace's gasping for a gang matter. Judging from their clothing, they all have a high status in the clan.
"The Lord Regent has said that Acerena will return and will not let her go again!" Following the words of the previous angel, the other angel said coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "We must control her, and then ask where those runaway guys are now, and who they have taken refuge in!" Because such a long time has passed, there is no news of them on the Enlos Continent, so it can be seen that they did not follow Catherine, originally thought that they might die at sea, but I didn't expect that Esreina is now back well, this situation can not be ignored, if they take refuge in the forces that are enemies of the empire, we can only kill our relatives in righteousness! ”
"But Howard is very cunning, he actually protected this precious granddaughter of his early age in the name of detention!" Another voice said angrily, "Our people are one step behind them!" Now how are we going to get her here? Is it hard to rob? ”
"If you grab it, you will grab it!" Another voice said faintly, "Howard is also old. He couldn't see the situation clearly, but he was obstinate and stubborn. Repeated refusal of overtures to the Empire! If you want me to see, he's not so competent as a patriarch! If this continues, our whole clan will be dragged down by him, and who knows if there was any secret instigation of Esrena's departure? Maybe he planned the whole thing! Otherwise, how could a little girl pull away nearly a thousand people so quietly? And so many experienced fighters among them? ”
"If that's the case, then Howard is too hateful!" A voice before scolded hatefully: "He is old and confused, but he still has to affect us, now the new emperor and the regent of the empire have the final say, he is so obsessed with that Catherine, and he still does such a thing, if the new emperor and the regent know about it, we will also be unlucky!" ”
"Maybe Your Majesty and the Lord Regent already knew! I said, don't you keep calling the new emperor and the new emperor, let the imperial side know, what will they think? The faint voice spoke again. His Majesty is the emperor, the true master of the country, and Catherine is just a passerby! In the future, the French will be pointed! ”
The owner of this voice seemed to be the leader of the angels, and when he said this, the other angels were the only ones who should have been.
Everyone discussed for a while, and then said in a faint voice: "Extraordinary times use extraordinary means, now most of the elders of the Council of Elders have fallen to our side, and Howard, the patriarch, has been in office for a long time, and it is time to abdicate and make way for Xian!" Acerena's return just gave us a good excuse, I will contact Your Majesty and ask him to send an order to come over, on the grounds that Esrena's actions have threatened the security of the Empire and seriously leaked the Empire's intelligence, asking the clan to escort Esreina to Standwick City to give an explanation of the whereabouts of the runaway angels, and if Howard refuses to release him, we can use the power of the Council of Elders to force him to step down! Then you nominate me as the new patriarch, and then I will negotiate with the Imperial side, so that things will not be delayed again and again, and it will be a waste of time to go on like this! Everyone responded in unison, and recommended some details before they dispersed.
One of the middle-aged, majestic archangels did not leave, still sitting in place motionless, and after everyone left, he laughed and muttered to himself, his voice was still indifferent, but he was the leader of the previous angels.
"The Angels have been in this mountain den long enough. It's time to get out and check it out! Why can't those guys figure it out so much, what's so bad about working for the Empire? No matter how weakened the empire is, it is still the most powerful country on the continent, if we can intervene in this country from the inside, enhance our influence in the empire, and then slowly enter the upper echelons, isn't it also an effective way to let the angel clan rise on the continent? It is better to join the army directly, as long as you try to improve the prestige of the angel clan in the army, and slowly control the army. to the command, and then let the angel clan replace the royal family. What is wrong with becoming the ruler of an empire? ”
I sat there for a while, and I was stunned for a moment. He got up and left the room with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Howard, the patriarch of the Angel Clan, was in another secret room, but he was staring at Esreina angrily: "You want to come back, why don't you say hello first?" Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this? Do you know how much turmoil you will cause in the already stormy ethnic group by doing this? What have you learned from having been with Catherine for so long? Why can't you change that impulsive nature? I'm so disappointed in you! ”
Across from him, Acerena's face was panicked and aggrieved. (To be continued) concave said to shake off the book in the middle of the day) Qi umbrella
