Chapter 25 of the text is passable
The beast clan and the demon clan are, strictly speaking, both high-level side branches of the beasts, and the population of the beast clan is much larger, while the demon clan is much less. Beasts are generally irrational, and are an inferior group with almost no "human rights" and dignity; unlike orcs and demons.
The Beast Emperor Zulu was a lion clan, a ninth-order martial saint, and he was close to one hundred and seventy years old, and as early as thirty years ago, he had become alert to the ambitions of the demon clan. But up and down the government and the opposition, there are not many courtiers who agree with him. Now he is concentrating on retreat, hoping to break through to the Martial God level as soon as possible through hard work.
Breaking through to the Martial God level may be a deterrent to the demon clan. There are very few martial god-level masters in the mainland, and they should all be concentrating on cultivation and don't care about the world.
The Beast Emperor has more than 20 sons, most of whom are high-level martial artists, serving as adjutants in various states; the first few are talented, and they are all relatively hard-working, there are three princes who have broken through to the Martial Saint level, and six princes are about to break through to the Martial Saint level, and these nine are already state guards (regular positions).
They all have the support of many big beast families and big forces, and the call to become the crown prince and even inherit the throne is quite high.
The Beast Emperor began to practice in retreat ten years ago, and the affairs of the empire were handed over to a few leaders trusted by his subordinates, and in addition, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince participated in the discussion.
This method is basically based on the ancient government plan of the human race, but it is simplified. In the Terran Empire, there are often "tragic situations" in which many princes are fighting for the throne. Other races such as the Orcs are slightly better than the Terrans in terms of inheriting the throne.
The internal affairs of the Terrans have always been complicated, and they are the most "good" at infighting. In other races, the strong man is generally king, and whoever is the strongest will generally become the final victor, and there are few examples of the use of intrigue and intrigues. However, now than in the past, all races are being "polluted" by the human race......
The participation of the top three princes of the beast clan in politics means that the three of them have a starting advantage, not that the crown prince can only be elected among the three of them.
The prince of the Terrans usually needs to be determined some time before the fall of the old emperor, and this is the custom of the Terrans. And the orcs are not, and most of the other races are the same as the orcs. It doesn't matter when the old emperor falls, the new monarch takes the throne, as long as the "leading group" left by the old emperor is fully recognized.
As long as the new monarch can prove that he is the strongest among all the competitors, he can successfully become the new emperor.
Having said all this, it means that the twenty-odd princes at the bottom of the ranking, both theoretically and practically, are still proper contenders for the throne, but the probability of success is smaller.
This is directly reflected in their respective supporters; the princes in the back of the rankings have only 20,000 or 30,000 troops under their support, while the overt power of the top three princes can reach 50,000 to 100,000 troops.
At present, the strongest is the Great Prince, and he is the peak of the second order of the Martial Saint level, with nearly 100,000 troops. And it is deeply trusted by the lion clan.
The second prince is not weak, in the middle of the second order of the martial saint level, the gap between his personal strength and the boss is very small, and the number of troops loyal to him is 80,000; moreover, the overall strength is slightly higher than that of the royal lion clan, another big clan, the tiger clan, is fully supporting him. The Tiger Clan supports him because his mother is a Tiger Clan.
The third prince is a little weaker than the second prince, the second order of the martial saint level, with more than 60,000 troops;
It is not easy for every beast emperor, the queen must be a lion clan, or even a tiger beauty, and the other main concubines must also be from the wolf clan, the bear clan and other big forces. Beauty is not necessarily, that can't be the standard on the table!
In ancient times and in ancient times, there was no idea of beauty or non-beauty! Nowadays, the times are different, and the concept has also progressed, and the aesthetics of the royal family and the major war races are also very different from those in ancient times.
In ancient times, the eyes of all ethnic groups even valued women's strength first, followed by whether the physique was strong and whether it was easy to give birth to!
It has been like that for tens of thousands of years. Nowadays, many people's views are seriously corrupted by the human race! The most serious ones do not even pay attention to the right people, do not pay attention to force, and do not pay attention to whether they are strong! What do they value?
I even want to be like the human race, pay attention to whether the face is beautiful, and whether the body is slim?!
Such an absurd trend of decay is now intensifying.
There is a lot of tension within the orcs now, but the traditional major battle races are busy recruiting troops, expanding their power, and actively operating for their supporters to compete for the throne. There are rumors on the border, and the demon clan is repeatedly pressing, as if no one really cares.
Everyone is paying attention to the news of the old emperor Zulu. First, no matter at a certain moment, he successfully broke through to the martial god level, although the possibility is not large, it cannot be ignored; people believe that the demon clan will naturally restrain its offensive and stop fighting, at least for a while.
Second, the greater possibility is that the old emperor is old and frail, and his potential is not enough to break through to the martial god level, and eventually fall; the three princes and the three major forces will immediately have to fight fiercely with each other for the emperor's throne! Then, the government will be in charge of the new emperor, and the interests of all aspects need to be redivided.
The demon clan can ignore it for the time being, isn't it time for a full-scale war yet?
Of course, not everyone is blind to the demon clan. The tenth prince Micaesar is an extremely rare one, and he sees the threat of the demon clan in his eyes and is anxious. He was very different from the numb optimism of others, he believed that at present, the demon clan was almost ready for a full-scale war, and even if the beast emperor managed to break through to the martial god level, he would not be able to stop the demon clan's imperative invasion.
The demon clan proposed to hold a military exercise competition in the Later Wei Kingdom, and he volunteered to preside over the new army from all over the beast tribe side, form a new army, prepare for various matters of the competition, and be responsible for receiving representatives of the demon clan by the way.
No one among the other princes wants to go at all, it's just a big pit, a super hot rotten potato!
No one at the top level didn't know that the Later Wei Kingdom was still under the jurisdiction of the Beast Empire on the surface, but in fact, it had completely fallen to the Demon Empire. What are you doing there? What if you go? Now is not a good time to be a hero!
Even many princes are maliciously speculating that Lao Shi did this for no three reasons. First, he was originally half of the fox blood, and anyone could ascend to the throne, but he was basically hopeless.
Second, he has not yet broken through the martial saint level, and his personal force is not good, and the only supporters he has have little confidence in it;
Third, since you have no hope, you should hurry up and do some amazing things! For example, now, if you deliberately go to the front line in a particularly dangerous situation, as long as you are lucky enough to come back alive; whoever takes the position is likely to think that he is still good, and it is okay to get into a better position?
Therefore, the channels are different, the three views are even more different, and they can't talk together.
What people think of themselves, the Ten Princes no longer care. Micaesar believes that the Orcs are in a state of bliss, and that although the war has not yet broken out, the Orc Empire is already in extreme danger! Someone must step up and do something now, even if it is a warning to the Empire!
The Demon Race is far inferior to the ancient Terrans in all aspects of warfare, and they are also very bad at spying on each other's specific information. Therefore, they are still slowly tempting, and the Demon Empire does not have a clear understanding of war.
They always feel that the beast tribe has a large population and a strong army, and it is very good for them to be able to defeat them, and they never have the confidence to defeat the other party or even destroy the other party.
In this way, the vast majority of the high-level leaders of the beast clan always have a "safe and sound expression", not to mention the middle and lower levels, the major affairs of the empire have nothing to do with them at all!
The demon clan is eager to try, and has always been timid, not knowing if they can take advantage of it, and not knowing how much they can take advantage of.
Pingcheng, the capital of the Later Wei Kingdom, is a huge royal city, and the royal family is the bear clan, and now all the royal clans have been replaced by the bear demons sent by the demon clan. This work is not easy, the demon clan has been preparing for infiltration in these kingdoms on the border of the two sides for nearly two hundred years.
These will be very speechless in the eyes of ordinary people, one will think they are too stupid, and the other will not be able to stand them too abrasively.
Micaesar came to Pingcheng and was warmly welcomed and courted by the bear demons posing as royalty. The envoy group of the demon clan in charge of this military exercise is a personal guard brigade led by a tiger demon general. The Tiger Demon has a slightly higher level than Micaesar, but its status is much lower.
The temptation of the demon clan is not endless, and at present, this military exercise competition is the last major node. If the new Orc Army is not an opponent at all, the Demon Clan will probably make up their minds to attack. If the new Orc Army can still hold on, it may need to drag on for a while.
Originally, the demon clan hoped to hold a formal military exercise competition to test the level of ordinary regular military strength on both sides. However, Prince Micaesar was very powerful, and persuaded the other party's representatives with his excellent eloquence, and the contest was slightly changed to the current new army military exercise contest.
The kingdom near the demon clan and the kingdom near the beast clan will start recruiting troops together at an agreed time, and after arriving in Pingcheng, they will prepare for the competition.
There are a lot of small frictions between the various races, but they are just small fights, and the real big war has never appeared since the one 20,000 years ago. Peace has been going on for too long, and the daily rhythm of all ethnic groups has slowed down.
No, the Demon Empire wants to plot against it, and it has been taking it for two hundred years just by taking it, and it is not impatient at all, let alone tired and panicked.
Why did the demon clan agree to change to a new army military exercise? Half of it was because Micaesar was good at vernacular, and the other half was because he really had a point.
What he said was that whether it was an empire or a kingdom, the garrison troops could not leave at all, and if they wanted to hold joint military exercises, they could only recruit new troops.
After receiving the reply, the high-level leaders of the Demon Empire totaled it, and indeed, their Demon Clan was the same, so they had to agree with Micaesar's proposal.
