The next day, a piece of news spread at the speed of the virus through various channels of the Millennium Empire, sweeping almost every corner of the continent in one day.

A generation of heroes, the Crimson Emperor died, and the thousand-year-old empire was shocked.

His Majesty the Pope of the Holy Peak Church sent a message of condolence, mentioning the Crimson Emperor as "an outstanding super powerhouse", "a forger of immortal feats", and "the last pinnacle warrior of the thousand-year empire".

While thanking His Majesty the Pope, the spokesman for the royal family, Prince Tumen, also expressed the dissatisfaction of the royal family, the Crimson Emperor is indeed a generation of heroes, but the last title has a mocking connotation of the royal family, and hopes that the church will make appropriate changes to the eulogy.

The Church turned a deaf ear, casting a shadow over the diplomatic situation of the Millennial Empire.

The major federation cities of the Millennium Empire sent out magical condolences one after another, expressing heavy condolences and nostalgia, and it was not until this moment that many people suddenly woke up and found that some of the news that had been circulating in the past period of time was not groundless.

However, in the imperial capital of Raphael, there was a more solemn atmosphere brewing.

In the castle of the Prince of Wales, there is a secret room inside and out, where a group of middle-aged people are surrounded by a young man who is plotting something, and outside, several young people sit together, listening to the movement inside.

The person who can enter this secret room is enough to be proud and proud, although Charlie does not like such treatment.

To be honest, he and Prince Ryan are not good enough to have this kind of friendship, but Charlie and Qianzhu are friends, and Qianzhu is Ryan's partner from childhood to adulthood, plus Charlie and Prince Weining are almost rivals, so Ryan has adopted a supportive attitude towards Qianju's absorption of Charlie into this circle, after all, Charlie has proved his worth in all aspects.

The young people outside are naturally Qianji, Leon and Charlie, and with their current status, they are not qualified to sit in, just look at what is sitting at the round table inside.

Prince of Wales Edward Wales.

First Sea Lord, five-star marshal, Grand Duke Arnold Lancelot.

Sein, Minister of the Privy Council and Head of the Council of Nobles.

Foreign Secretary Webster.

Home Secretary Alpha.

Brassell, President of the Royal Society of Magic.

Roland Guild President Michauff Roland.

Solomon's president, Soresi.

Stock, the president of the Asta-Mage League.

These people represent a prince, an archduke, a cabinet minister who ranks as cardinals, and the four magic guilds, and it can be said that they can basically control half of the thousand-year-old empire.

The Prince of Wales felt the solemn atmosphere and took the lead in breaking the silence: "I believe everyone understands the purpose of our gathering today, at present, the situation in the Empire is not optimistic, the war between the North and the Barbarians is still going on, and the 3rd and 5th Corps are deeply trapped in it, it is a flesh and blood grinding plate, constantly grinding our elite soldiers, like a soft knife pierced in the Empire's ribs, making us constantly weak."

The real fatal problem is a war we started on the Demon Continent Plains, originally I was against the direct involvement of His Crimson Majesty in the war, of course, it doesn't make sense to say these things now, but we can't avoid the fatal problem, because of the war with the devils of hell, the arcane ring and we were defeated by the devil's army at once.

With the Arcane Ring almost gone, and only over 200 teachers and students remaining, it can be said that the transcendent magical temple is basically history, and they have moved to Raphael, and they no longer have the same living environment as they did in the original magical holy war, and it is no longer possible to grow into a force that is beyond the secular power.

Originally, the destruction of the 9th and 11th Corps would not have had much impact on the empire, but the fatal problem lies in the fact that we inflicted heavy losses on His Crimson Majesty in that battle, and until today's death.

For more than fifty years, magic has been attached to the aristocratic system of the thousand-year-old empire, thriving, and crushing the divine power, and after the main god Kritz sleeps, it has almost been defeated and has not won a single battle.

However, now the opportunity for the Church has come, and some of their recent frequent actions can illustrate the problem, including the Pope's condolences, which are all gestures.

The theocracy will surely restart the holy war, ready to regain the lost territory of the past!

Therefore, the thousand-year-old empire cannot be left without a king overnight! We cannot allow a short-sighted person who is full of selfish desires to sit on the throne! We must stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible in order to minimize the losses!"

At this, the Prince of Wales paused, his eyes scanning the people present, and the implication was overflowing.

Marshal Lancelot muttered: "We are very aware of the internal and external situation, and I support Prince Ryan to take over as the commander of the Millennium Empire and become the next Emperor Your Majesty." ”

A five-star marshal expressed his position, and all the ministers present expressed their support for Ryan.

Listening to everyone's attitudes, the Prince continued: "Then, we have solved the first problem and maintained a relatively unanimous opinion.

Next, let's consider the second question: how to make His Highness Ryan succeed to the throne?

This question caught everyone's attention, and even the young people outside pricked up their ears, this was an opportunity to learn about the most important secrets of this empire, and even Charlie couldn't hold back a trace of curiosity.

Ryan nodded to the Prince of Wales, took over the conversation, and said: "When my father was on the throne, he did train me as a prince, and he appointed his most trusted companion, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to teach me, which proves that in fact, some of today's arrangements, including some of His Royal Highness's actions, are also at his behest.

As for the later launch of Weining, I think this is a spur and encouragement to me, he doesn't want to lose his fighting spirit because there is no suspense, and I am deeply aware of this, so I have maintained my original intention and constantly improved myself over the years.

It's a pity that his old man's death was too sudden, and he passed away without having a chance to explain many things, so that now there is some suspense.

Today, the people sitting at this round table can control almost half of the territory of the thousand-year empire, and I am very grateful for your support, and on the surface, the situation seems to be very secure, and it seems that victory is in hand.

However, according to some of the information I have gathered, our advantage is not as great as I imagined!"

As he spoke, Ryan turned around and pushed a manuscript to the center of the round table, which was divided into three parts, Ryan on the left, neutral in the middle, and Weining on the right.

Ryan continued: "This is a comparison chart of my strength that I simply listed, on our side, everyone can see each other at a glance, and everyone here basically represents the people on the left. ”

As a result, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell to the right, and their eyes were immediately startled by a few familiar names.

Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Fortress, Grand Duke Wellington.

Commander of the Red Dragon Legion, five-star marshal, Grand Duke Josh Morgan.

The largest arms family in the empire, the Stuart family, the mother of Prince Weining.

New Arcane Ring, Lord of Light Fernand.

In addition to this, some vague forces are drawn on the right side and some question marks are marked.

There are three officially canonized Grand Dukes in the Empire: Lancelot, Wellington and Morgan, and who knew that two of them had already stood behind Prince Weining?

Lancelot asked, "I'm not surprised that Wellington made this choice, for he has been at odds with a group of us for many years, and one of his sons-in-law is still a fanatic believer in the Church of the Holy Blade!

But why did Morgan fall for him? I can't think of any reason at all!"

Sein said coldly: "This news is provided to His Highness, Marshal Morgan's favorite woman is called Katie Stuart, she gave birth to a son, named Daniel, who is nearly 16 years old this year, and he is an apprentice of the Arcane Ring.

He died in that magic war, and before the great war, he pleaded with His Majesty and the Arcane Ring to transfer his son back, but His Majesty refused.

So ......"

There is a lot of information in this passage, first of all, Marshal Morgan's woman is a member of the Stuart family, in other words, the family of Prince Weining.

Hearing the news, Charlie was shocked, this was the first time he heard his familiar name, Daniel, this is the son of a gentleman who had a grudge with him, and he hated himself because of Qianxue's relationship.

Feeling Charlie's strangeness, Qian Jue asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Charlie whispered: "My classmate, I didn't expect him to die." ”

At this time, there were also some surprised voices in the house.

"Morgan married someone from the Stuart family? I really didn't notice it. ”

"No! not a marriage, just a lover, Daniel is the illegitimate son of Marshal Morgan. ”

Prince Ryan continued: "It is worth mentioning that the Stuart family has some other capable people, such as the Minister of Defense Garvin and the Dawn Lord Tulayan, so the power of my brother's mother clan should not be underestimated.

In addition to this, there is another hidden factor that cannot be ignored, which I cannot be sure of and cannot prove, but there are signs that it exists. ”
