Chapter 163: The Throne
For thousands of years since its founding, the Chunhui Empire has been a leader in the world, and every people in this country are full of pride and never dream that there will be a day of destruction.
However, the 'central dynasty' that had vowed to unify the Terrans a few years ago had fallen into the trap of the king's death, and two ambitious princes wanted to become kings - something that happened in the past, when one prince retired to the western wilderness, but now it is impossible.
The two princes were evenly matched, and neither was willing to back down, and what was even more worrying was that the Guardian was now old and weak, and no one had been specifically named. Unlike other countries, the guardian of the Chun Clan's royal power has long been no secret. She is Spring's older sister, who was also devastated when she died suddenly in Spring a few years ago, and now has no strength.
This guardian is the one who decides the next orthodox king, and both princes are expecting her to say her name.
This night, they returned to the palace of **Yichun after a long absence. The people on both sides of the hall exuded a murderous aura and guarded each other, and the two princes in question stood in the middle, also looking at each other with a smile.
"It's been a long time... Brother Wang, I heard that refugees in the west are rampant with malaria, Brother Wang should take care of his health! As a younger brother, Chunyan didn't show any respect for his brother.
And the spring breeze as his brother sneered not to be outdone: "I'm okay here, but it's been freezing recently, and Brother Wang lives by the sea, so you have to be careful not to be blown away by the storm......"
"Brother Wang, don't worry, compared to being surrounded by enemies on all sides, a little storm is not a matter of worry." ”
"It's a good thing that Brother Wang is so open-minded, but there is little arable land in the east, and I heard that some of Brother Wang's boats disappeared during the day, how should I spend this winter?"
"You ......"
The two men sneered at each other like this, until an old woman walked slowly through the door of the main hall on crutches.
"Auntie!" "Auntie..."
The two brothers saluted respectfully, they had respected the old woman since childhood, but the reason for this was only because of their status as 'guardians'. Tonight she let her brother return to the two places, perhaps making the final decision.
Who is the orthodox ruler of Chunhui, this is the answer that everyone in the hall wants to know. In fact, this answer will not make the situation optimistic, the two princes have already formed their own **, even if one is recognized, the other side will definitely resist to the end.
The Guardian brought only a name - perhaps because of this, the old woman who walked in did not have joy on her face, but was so deep that it was impossible to see what she was thinking.
"I think you should know what I'm here for tonight." She sat slowly beside the empty throne with the support of the maid, which was set for her.
The old woman put her cane beside her, and her eyes scanned the entire hall of the aristocratic courtiers divided into two factions, the atmosphere that had once been loyal to a king had disappeared, and all this was due to the death of spring.
[Those damn guardian beasts! 】
With hatred and anger, the old woman gritted her teeth, and then looked at the two princes: "The royal power of the Chun clan cannot continue to hang empty, but Your Majesty did not make sufficient arrangements before he died, so it can only be appointed by me." ”
The hall fell silent for a moment, and the eyes of anticipation and fear converged on the old woman, but she fished her appetite and said, "But you are all excellent, and whatever choice I make is unfair, so I have decided to turn the royal throne into a trial, to be won by the victor." ”
The word trial caused a renewed uproar in the hall, and Chun Feng and Chun Yan couldn't help but feel lost, but they also felt glad that at least the throne had not yet been decided.
"Auntie, what kind of trial is that?"
"Yes, aunt, I will definitely complete the trial well."
The two princes raised new expectations and realized that the next trial would decide everything, and both of them intended to do their best.
The old woman looked at these two pairs of eyes full of **, and sighed that if there is a father, there must be a son. Spring is also full of ambition, but his ambition may not be the ambition that the two princes can understand.
"Bloodline, those monsters have begun to invade us, you have to fight them off, who has gained more merit... Whoever becomes the new king. ”
There was no other trial that could convince the people better than this, both to protect the people and to determine the king, and the old woman thought that it was the fairest way to do it. She looked around at the nobles in the hall, and the look in their eyes was the same as she expected, and no one questioned it.
But when she looked at the two young princes, the expressions on their faces froze in the old woman's heart.
"Auntie, it's not fair! If you spend too many troops to repel the Blood Clan, then the person who wins the throne will be weaker than the other one, and he will definitely ** the throne! ”
"Yes, aunt! You'd better do it another way! ”
Neither Chunfeng nor Chunyan agreed to this trial, they were not fools, and it was impossible not to see the danger that the Chunhui Empire was facing. But at this time, he was still wary of his brother and put aside the threat of the blood clan.
The old woman angrily picked up the crutches and hit the ground, making a snapping sound: "What to change!" Alien invasion, can't you work together to deal with them first? ”
Chunfeng glanced at Chun Yan with obvious distrust on his face: "Auntie, even if I believe him, he will definitely cheat in the middle!" ”
"Brother Wang thinks so for himself, right?"
Chunyan raised his eyebrows in disgust, and then bowed to the old woman: "Why should my aunt worry about the blood clan, they are scarce, as long as my aunt hands over the throne to me, I will immediately send troops to eradicate them!" ”
"No, aunt, as long as you give me the throne... I promise to get the Bloodlines out in three days. ”
The spring breeze may make a promise.
Their self-confidence comes from a large army, and even if they have been wounded, each prince has millions of soldiers under his command, several times more than the Nishino bloodline. No matter how powerful the Blood Clan was, they still had the confidence to drive out Chunhui.
However, the old woman did not trust anyone, as long as she gave the throne, the first thing these two people would do must be to kill each other and let the blood clan reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"You guys are underestimating the Bloodline, or do you have any unsavory hole cards?" The old woman's heart tightened, and she suddenly became nervous: "Are you still in contact with the demons!" ”
If so, the Chunhui Empire will really be doomed this time. Their enemies will not only be the Blood, but also the Guardian Beasts.
"Fool, didn't Your Majesty tell you to cut off contact with them on his deathbed!" The old woman's body shook, and she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy: "Even if Your Majesty deals with them, you are extremely careful, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses..."
"Can you be more powerful than Your Majesty?" (To be continued.) )
