Chapter 466: Race for the Throne

The assessment will be conducted until the seventh day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the royal palace of the Zhulu Empire.

The old king was sitting on a throne made of stag antlers, listening intently to the minister's report.

His hair was silver, his skin was loose, his face was wrinkled, his complexion was slightly haggard, and his eyes were somewhat dark.

At first glance, he is an old man who is in his old age and has not rested well at night.

If he hadn't sat on the throne and had a golden crown of thorns on top of his head, I'm afraid no one would have thought of him as the king of the deer.

After all, with the current level of development of genetic medical technology, the richer and more noble people are, the more resources they have to live a long life.

The lifespan of ordinary human beings can live to be about 100 years old.

A powerful genetic warrior above the level of the Battle King can even break through to two hundred years old.

As a king of a country, even if he does not live to be two hundred years old, he can live to be one hundred and seventy or eighty years old.

And the king of Zhulu is only sixty or seventy years old now, and it stands to reason that he should still be in the prime of life.

However, his body was damaged in an interracial war decades ago, and it was only when Xiang Fan killed seven in and seven out that he barely held on to his life.

For years, his body had been tormented by alien wounds.

It is a miracle in the history of genetic medicine to live until now.

Over the years, he has been tormented in pain all the time.

On his side, the most common thing is not the young new queen, but a female physician in charge of treatment.

The female physician was of great stature and stood behind a throne made of stag antlers.

Her eyes shimmered with a faint blue light, and from time to time she scanned the king with blue light.

That's right, she is the personal intelligence AI of the King of Zhulu, and she is also the intelligent AI that controls the overall system of the entire Zhulu Empire - Suzaku.

Suzaku's face is not gorgeous, but at a glance, the combination of facial features makes people feel extremely comfortable.

And the more you look at it, the more durable it becomes.

Her projected body is also very realistic, almost to the point of being fake.

If it weren't for the blue light flashing in her eyes, I'm afraid no one would think of her as an intelligent AI in a half-spirit state.

But she is indeed a half-spirit intelligent AI.

From this point of view alone, you can see how different Suzaku is from intelligent AI in the general sense.

Intelligent AI that can generally be mounted on a mecha and help the owner fight, usually only has two-star database processing capabilities.

As the intelligent AI of the king of the deer, the processing power of the database has reached five stars.

This is almost very close to god-level intelligent AI.

But even if she is a powerful intelligent AI, it can only alleviate the pain of the King of the Deer, and cannot save the life of the King of the Deer at a high speed.

Inside the palace, everyone knows that the time of chasing the old king is running out.

The king of Zhulu listened to the minister's report while changing his sitting posture anxiously.

His body did not allow him to sit for long periods of time.

But as a king, it is his duty to listen to the reports of his subordinates and handle the necessary government affairs.

Of the twenty-four hours a day, he had only six hours of rest, and the rest of the time had to be spent on these complicated administrative tasks.

As a king, he needs to know every big and small thing that happens in his domain, he needs to know what every minister has done today, he needs to know what every regent has said, and more importantly, he needs to know which areas the people are dissatisfied with his ruling policies.

How tiring it is to govern a country!

Among the four major empires of the human race, the Zhulu Empire is the weakest empire.

The old king did not dare to slack off for a day.

He knew very well in his heart that in his position, the slightest slack would be eaten alive by wolves, lions, and dragons.

This is also an important reason why he wanted to evaluate the four heirs before he died.

If the next king were chosen based on personal preference, the Empire would probably be doomed.

He must elect a new king who is good enough for the boring and irritating work for the sake of the long-term peace of the empire.

The throne under him was made of the horns of the alien buck deer king.

His ancestor, when he established the Zhulu Empire, once stabbed a war emperor-level alien buck deer king.

In this throne, the glory of his ancestors is fused.

This antler throne is not comfortable to sit on at all.

And this is precisely the reminder of the ancestors to everyone who becomes the king of the deer.

Be cautious! Be careful!

Exercise the king's rights like pins and needles!

For so many years, the old king of Zhulu has never dared to forget this ancestral teaching.

It's just that he wasn't sure if the next king would be as uncomfortable as he was.

The minister in charge of the economy chattered endlessly, starting with the changes in the tax data of the major states and continuing to report on the changes in the tax revenues of each of the states under the state.

And that's just for this month.

At this time of the month, the old king had to listen patiently and accept advice.

Finally, after the Minister of Economy finished speaking, the Minister of the Interior began to report on the construction of various states and districts.

After the Minister of the Interior had finished his report, the Minister of Military Affairs reported on the movements of the alien races, as well as on the movements of the border armies and local armies.

After the military minister finished reporting, the foreign minister worriedly reported that the unstable state of the Wolf Empire would affect the Chasing Deer Empire in the next few years, and the king of the Awakening Lion Empire sent an ultimatum, asking the old king to choose a side on the internal affairs of the Running Wolf Empire.

The old king sighed faintly.

The strength of the Wolf Empire is far above that of the Zhulu Empire.

However, in just the last few years, there has been serious civil strife in the Running Wolf Empire.

I heard that the king of the Running Wolf Empire went crazy and began to kill the people around him desperately.

One queen, two younger brothers, and four sons were all killed by the king of the wolf.

Everyone in the Running Wolf Empire is in danger, and those who have a little ability choose to be interstellar mercenaries, and the border army of the Running Wolf Empire almost no longer exists.

The Awakening Lion Empire naturally wants to take advantage of this time to support a new agent, and the Awakening Lion King wants to abolish the Running Wolf King and set up the son of the eldest princess of the Running Wolf King to inherit the throne.

And the eldest princess of the Wolf King is married to the crown prince of the Awakening Lion Empire, and her son will inevitably inherit the throne of the Awakening Lion Empire in the future.

In this way, the Lion Awakening Empire is tantamount to quietly annexing the Running Wolf Empire.

This is bound to break the balance of the four empires restricting each other, and turn the Lion Awakening Empire into a powerful empire.

And at that time, whether it is the Zhulu Empire, the Xianglong Empire, or even the United Council, they will all become tools of enslavement in the Lion Awakening Empire.

Naturally, the old king couldn't let this happen.

What's more, his new queen is the second princess of the Running Wolf Empire.

Their heir, the little prince Li Shixiong, is also very likely to inherit the future throne of the Benwolf Empire.

However, the Zhulu Empire is not strong, and the old king of Zhulu does not dare to speak too hardly.

"Tell the king of the awakening lion that this king cannot decide the matter of the wolf empire, but this king and queen are the wolf royal family, in order to maintain the dignity of the wolf royal family, this king hopes that His Majesty the king of the lion will not interfere, and let the wolf empire handle everything by itself."

The old king coughed and said lightly to the Foreign Secretary. (To be continued.) )
