Chapter 59: The Barthenons

"How dare you laugh at me for not having talent. Come, come, come, let's compare and see who is not talented. "Absolutely hot-tempered, rolling up your sleeves and wanting to fight. "Be quiet. Before the enemy is faced, he will first fight among himself, what kind of system!" a majestic voice came, and everyone, including the young king, was silent. This is an old man full of spirit and majesty. The armor on his body was filled with a heavy smell of blood, and at a glance, he knew that he was a military commander who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had killed countless enemies. "This time, we are fortunate to have strong support from the Church of Light, which has greatly increased our certainty of success. In fact, the role of the individual in the political game is minimal. What we really have to worry about is the super strength of the Clarence College behind Cisco Hot. But Clarence College has a close relationship with the Butternut family, as evidenced by the fact that Cisco Heat and Cococy have joined hands in Wangdu this time. Now, the Church of Light and Clarence College are basically on the same page. So we have either the support of the Church of Light or the support of Clarence College. But, given the current level of Clarence College's closeness to the Barthenon family, our hopes of gaining the support of the House are slim. So, let's be clear now: the Church of Light is our only hope for success. If we don't seize this opportunity, then we will have to succumb to the obscenity of the Barthenon forever, and we will never think of a future in the future. "He is worthy of being a commander in chief, with incisive analysis and reasoning, and maximizing the enthusiasm of everyone present.

Then, everyone emotionally stated that they wanted to fight the Barthenon family to the end. In the case that the young king did not play a role, because of the "wise" analysis of the military commander, the major political policy of the Karst Kingdom was thus determined by a group of high-ranking figures.

The Barthenon Family Vault.

The patriarch summoned the core members of the family for an emergency meeting. "I, the Butternon family, have been loyal to the royal family for generations. From the time when the current royal family was still a big family, he followed the left and right, and later fought in the north and south, opening up territory for the royal family and making immortal feats. It can be said that most of the kingdom of Bicester was fought by my Butternut family. However, now, there is a group of clowns who are bewitched by the Church of Light, for their own selfish interests, holding the young king hostage, and wanting to do a black hand on my family. For the sake of the kingdom, for the sake of the family, and for the sake of the people, we must not sit idly by!" The patriarch's very sensational words immediately tightly twisted the core members of the family into a rope, and for the sake of their own family's interests, everyone secretly resolved to defend to the death. "Originally, with a family like ours, we can't compete with the domineering and powerful Church of Light. But God forbid, Cocoxi happened to meet Cisco Hot on the way back from the academy. He offered to go to our family. Even if his actions don't represent the intentions of Clarence Academy, if we find a way to tie him to our family's chariot, our odds will increase exponentially. "The Barthenon family has been able to control the Bicester Kingdom for hundreds of years, and it is no means luck. At the critical juncture of the family's survival, the current patriarch used his feelings to help him, first arousing the clansmen's hearts to protect the clan desperately, and then immediately throwing the infinite hope that the clansmen could survive the crisis, which shows the cleverness of his means.

The selection of the patriarch of the Barthenon family is not entirely based on blood kinship, in other words, the descendants of the patriarch may not be able to inherit the position of patriarch. The patriarch is the most talented leader selected from the entire Barthenon family. This is the main reason why the Barthenon family has been able to maintain its longevity.

"Although our family has a very good relationship with Clarence Academy, it is only limited to the fact that each generation of family elites can be allowed to enter the academy to cultivate. Until now, no one from the family had ever entered the core of the academy. If we really match up with the Church of Light, then how many layers of certainty are we that we will definitely get the full support of the Academy?" an old man asked worriedly. "The elder was very worried. As I said, the arrival of Cisco Hot has added enough leverage for us to secure the support of Clarence College. The name of Cisco Hot is surely familiar to you. Although his master, Justinian, was not from the Academy, he had a close relationship with the Academy, which everyone knew and no one knew. In addition, he was a cultivation wizard that was rare in the academy in a hundred years, and some people even thought that his future achievements would surpass that of his teacher and the Pope of the Church of Light, and he was now known as the number one master of the academy's students. Even if he doesn't become a high-level figure in the academy in the future, anyone with a bit of brains will know that for the sake of future development, will the academy allow a young man with a deep relationship with it and a chance that he will grow into the number one master of the Western Earth Continent to be lost in the hands of the church?"

There was silence for a while. Another elder asked, "All the things that the patriarch said are based on a big premise. That is, the young man named Cisco Ret must stand firmly on the same side as our family. "Yes. "Yes. A lot of people echoed it. "But the question is, how can we be sure that this young man will support us?" the elder then threw out a big problem.

"Why did I lead all the leading members of the family to the gate to greet the two juniors respectfully? Judging by his reaction, he seems to have a good impression of us. But I am not sure what he came here for or what his political movements will be in the future. The main thing in this gathering is to brainstorm ideas. Come up with a way to get the best of both worlds that will tie Cisco Hot firmly to our family's chariot and, preferably, not offending him. The patriarch finally confided in the main point of the meeting.

"Wait, I think we need to figure out a couple of things before we get to that. First, Clarence Academy does not have the courage and courage to clash head-on with the Church of Light; second, if there is a conflict, then even if the Academy fully supports us, there are several layers of chance that it will be able to repel the strong people who come to provoke by the Church of Light; third, if the two major forces fight in my Bicester Kingdom, what impact will it have on the kingdom and our family?"

"The old patriarch (the honorific title for the outgoing patriarch) has a far-reaching vision, and in just a few words, he will get to the heart of my clan's plan, admire, admire!" the patriarch first bowed respectfully to the elder, and then continued, "The conflict between Clarence College and the Church of Light has been going on for a long time. I won't say much about the previous ones. A while ago, there was a lot of uproar about the academy incident, and everyone must have been deeply impressed. The cultivators of the Western Earth Continent came to the academy to collectively question the whereabouts of the Eastern Earth Martial Artists. It is rumored that in order to cope with unprecedented challenges, the academy has secretly cooperated with the Dark Church, the sworn enemy of the Church of Light. Later, I heard that Justinian's female disciple seemed to have mysteriously disappeared along with the upper echelons of the Dark Church, and most people believed that she had joined the Dark Church nine times out of ten. All this has given the world a strong signal that now that Clarence College and the Church of Light are on the same page, the contradictions between them have become superficial. Of course, the vast majority of people in the Western Earth Continent believe that the strength of the Church of Light is stronger than that of Clarence Academy. That's because the world is short-sighted and only compares the power of the two on the surface. In fact, the two major forces have to consider various factors. If the academy really fights with the Bright Church, then many masters who have graduated and left the academy will definitely try their best to protect their alma mater, and at that time, the strength of the academy will not know how many times stronger. As a result, Clarence Academy is the one with the greatest potential among the many forces in the Western Earth Continent. It is precisely for this reason that the old Pope personally led a group of masters of the Church of Light, and with the support of almost half of the various forces in the Western Earth Continent, he did not dare to go wild in Clarence Academy. Eventually, for the first time in his life, the old pope returned to Montella in disgrace without reaching his goal. This time, if the Church of Light dares to fight against the Academy within the sphere of influence of Clarence Academy, then even if it wins, it will definitely break its bones, and the final profit will definitely be its sworn enemy, the Dark Church. Therefore, as long as Clarence Academy is strong enough this time, the Church of Light will definitely retreat like last time. Therefore, we don't need to worry about a large-scale conflict between the two powers in the Kingdom of Bicester. "It is not easy for the Barthenon family to be elected as the patriarch, and it is a long story that analyzes the delicate relationship between the two forces in the slightest.
