Chapter 1125: Becoming King by Chance
"It's definitely not on the home planet of the Kunyang clan. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Are you sure?"
Queen Kang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Although the Kunyang clan has the smallest jurisdiction and has not expanded externally for thousands of years during the Galactic Alliance period, the kings of the Kunyang clan are not stupid and will never put the holy weapon related to the fate of the clan on the home planet. You know, for the past few thousand years, we have been hostile to three first-class top civilizations, and we are in the shadow of destruction at any time. If the holy weapon was on the home planet of the Kunyang clan, I am afraid that the three first-class civilizations would have started a war long ago. It's just that I don't know where the Kunyang clan hid the holy weapon, maybe only the kings of the past dynasties know. You must know that that is the foundation of the Kunyang clan, and it is the foundation of royal power. β
"In other words, we have to talk to the ruler of the Kunyang clan."
"Obviously, it's not an easy thing to do." Queen Kang Sheng sighed and said, "The news has spread, and those elders who fled to the Kunyang clan must have told everything they knew. Although they don't know your strength very well, what happened on our side is enough to make them vigilant. As expected, King Ming Yan had already left his home planet, and he had brought a lot of retinue with him. With your strength, it won't be difficult to find him, but it won't be easy to get close to him and take away the artifact under his control. What's more, as long as King Ming Yan is a little shrewd, he will not bring the holy weapon with him, after all, it is his magic weapon to save his life. β
"King Mingyan?"
"You don't know?" Queen Kang Sheng was slightly stunned before she said, "He is the current ruler of the Kunyang clan, and he only sat on the throne not long ago. Because he was too young and his strength was not enough, his status in the Kunyang clan was not high, and his influence on other civilizations was also weak, so the Kunyang clan did not make a big deal about it. Besides, the Kunyang clan has always been mysterious, and everything they do is a loner, and the outside world does not know the situation of the Kunyang clan. β
"How do you know?"
"For thousands of years, the Extreme Realm Clan has been the most important ally of the Kunyang Clan. At the beginning, if it weren't for us, the Kunyang clan would have been destroyed long ago. Queen Kang Sheng paused for a moment before saying, "In order to maintain the alliance, the royal family of the Extreme Realm and the royal family of the Kunyang clan have been intermarrying, although it is only a legal marriage. According to the marriage contract made that year, I will marry the heir to the throne of the Kunyang clan when I become an adult, but I became the queen of the Extreme Realm clan, and the heir to the throne of the Kunyang clan also sat on the throne after becoming an adult, so the marriage contract was automatically invalidated. To put it simply, King Mingyan used to be my fiancΓ© and lived with me for decades. β
"So, you know him well?"
"Sort of." Queen Kang Sheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Like me, at the beginning, he was only the heir to the throne of the Kunyang clan, but not the first in line. If nothing else, he will never want to sit on the throne, so his status in the royal family of the Kunyang clan is not very high. It can be said that the main value of the existence of royal family members like him and me is to serve the royal family and safeguard the interests of their own family through marriage and other means. Unlike me, he did not experience a mutiny, but only sat on the throne by chance. To put it simply, several heirs to the throne who were ahead of him died in the war one after another, and it was his turn to inherit the throne. β
"Killed?"
Queen Kang Sheng nodded and said, "The size of the Kunyang clan has always been very small, and it pursues a policy of elite soldiers, and the scale of military strength is not large, but the combat effectiveness of the legion is extremely strong. In order to ensure that all legions are loyal to the royal family and serve the interests of the royal family, and also to ensure the royal family's right to rule in the Kunyang clan, the legion commanders are all members of the royal family. In addition, all members of the royal family were required to serve in the Legion for a period of time after reaching adulthood, familiarizing themselves with the operations of the Legion in order to lead the Legion as Legion Commander when necessary. Of course, in peacetime, the standing army is limited, so there is no need for too many members of the royal family to serve in the legion. It's just that in times of war, with the rapid expansion of military power, more legion commanders need to be appointed, and more members of the royal family need to perform their duties and obligations. β
"Even the heir to the throne?"
"You said that strength speaks for itself." Queen Kang Sheng sighed before she said, "Obviously, it is not only the background that determines the power and status in the Kunyang clan, but also the strength. Even members of the royal family need commensurate strength to achieve higher status and greater power, and the main way to prove their strength is to command the legion on the battlefield to achieve victories that others can't. The heir to the throne is not only no exception, but also attaches more importance to strength, and strength directly determines the succession of the heir. To put it simply, the heir to the throne of the Kunyang clan is not certain, and the relationship between the thrones is not certain, and it needs to be fought for. For those who want to sit on the throne, the only way to achieve their ideals is to lead the legion into battle, to achieve merit beyond all rivals, and to gain the trust, support and love of the legion's officers and soldiers. In fact, gaining the support of the legion is also the key to securing the throne. If you don't have enough military exploits, some are just born, and even if you sit on the throne, you won't be able to stay on the throne for long. It's just that King Mingyan is an exception. β
"What do you mean?"
"Perhaps, when he sat on the throne, he felt like he was dreaming."
Yang Yi frowned and let Queen Kangsheng continue.
"Before he ascended the throne, there was a bloody case in the royal family of the Kunyang clan, which can also be said to be a rebellion. Although I don't know much about the specifics, dozens of members of the royal family, including the ruler at the time and the three heirs to the throne, were killed in the rebellion, and King Myeongyan was the fourth in line to the throne. β
"Why is there no news about such a big thing?"
"If the news gets out, I'm afraid the war is over." Queen Kang Sheng smiled reluctantly and said, "I also received the news afterwards, to be precise, after King Mingyan ascended the throne. Based on the information we have, this rebellion must have had a lot to do with the war, and it is likely that several heirs to the throne were involved in it. To put it simply, it was these heirs to the throne who were dissatisfied with the war, or with the tactics adopted by those in power, who demanded a change in strategy, but did not receive a corresponding response. Although this is an emergency, there is a great inevitability, but it broke out at this time. The point is that the Kunyang clan paid a huge price in the war, especially the royal family of the Kunyang clan. Before the rebellion, more than half of the royal family members of the Kunyang clan had died in battle. In contrast, the battle situation did not develop as expected, and the Kunyang royal family did not gain much substantial benefit. What's more, no one knows when the war will end, and no one knows how many members of the Kunyang royal family will have to sacrifice. Although everyone knows that the war will not end until the Human Federation is destroyed, or is wiped out by the Human Federation, there are obviously problems with how to continue and how to achieve the final victory at the lowest cost. At least as far as we know, the heirs to the throne believe that the Kunyang clan has taken on more battles than they have gained, and they have outweighed their own strength. The Kunyang are not obligated to make sacrifices for other civilizations, so they have to make other civilizations take on more fighting obligations. To put it simply, let us send our troops into battle, and if necessary, even launch a surprise attack on us. However, the rulers of the time obviously did not agree with this view, and did not intend to let a few heirs do anything wrong. β
"This led to a bloodbath?"
Queen Kang Sheng nodded and said, "That's roughly what happened, it's just that the heirs to the throne who had an incident obviously didn't expect it, all they did was to help King Mingyan sit on the throne." What's more, King Ming Yan had exactly the same position as his predecessor. It's not that he doesn't want us to go to war, but he knows that the indirect support we provide has irreplaceable value. If we send troops to participate in the war, we will inevitably reduce the assistance provided to the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Warring Clan, and no longer bear the relevant obligations. When the time comes, the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Soldier Domain Clan will also divide their forces to solve these problems, thus negatively impacting the frontline battle. Because of the gap in resources, capacity and technology, they may not be able to fill the gap created by the fact that we no longer provide support in the short term. In addition, if we send troops directly to the war, it means that the original strategic plan needs to be revised, and it also means that coordination and command are more troublesome. Besides, we will inevitably participate in the work of dividing up the fruits of victory after the war, and reap more benefits. At least judging from the situation at that time, it was only a matter of time before the victory over the Human Federation, and having an extra vested interest at this time might not necessarily allow the Kunyang clan to gain more benefits, but might instead complicate simple issues. β
"In other words, King Mingyan did not force you to join the war."
"Not only did he not force him, but he also gave a promise."
"What promise?"
"Unless we are willing, under the condition of guaranteeing that we will continue to provide support for the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan, we will not be asked to send troops to participate in the front-line battle, and we will bear the pressure from the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan for us, that is, we will not let the Beast Clan and the Soldier Domain Clan take advantage of our lack of troops." Queen Kang Sheng smiled reluctantly and said, "Because this is completely in our interest, and King Mingyan's bottom line is to ensure that the support provided to the Kunyang clan will not be affected, so we have no reason to refuse his proposal." In fact, this is also the key reason why the Kunyang Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Soldier Domain Clan did not force us to send troops to fight after your return. β
"According to your meaning, this Ming Yan King should be a person who can communicate."
"It depends on what is communicated." Queen Kangsheng sighed and said, "Besides, if you think he's a good bully, you're very wrong. β
"Really?"
"At least, in my opinion, he is a very intelligent and principled person." (To be continued.) )
