Chapter 169: Uncle and Nephew Talk
Although the nobles in the conference room did not want to compromise, Kevin, who was from the golden nobles of the Empire, could only obey Ather's orders.
Soon, the nobles in the conference room left one after another, rushing to gather their forces and prepare for the next battle.
By the time the nobles had left, only Kevin and Uncle Arthur were left in the conference room.
Kevin looked at Arthur with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect our little Arthur to really grow up." ”
Arthur was also a little excited and said, "Uncle Kevin, it's really good that you can come, otherwise the situation here can't be controlled so quickly." ”
Kevin nodded, and the smile on his face gradually retracted: "The fact that I was able to come here is actually a coincidence. ”
Athurdon was a little strange: "Uncle Kevin, didn't you come specifically to recover Viscount Lane?"
Kevin shook his head and said, "No, there are some things that you are too far away from the imperial capital, and you don't know anything at all, and now the empire is completely chaotic." ”
"The Empire is already in a hurry to deal with the war on the Northern and Western Fronts, so how can they send me to take over Viscount Lane at this time?"
Hearing this, Arthur was taken aback: "But, but if that's the case, Uncle Kevin, why did you suddenly lead a large army to Viscount Lane?"
Kevin smiled bitterly: "So, this incident is a coincidence, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”
It turned out that Kevin did not lead his troops to take over Viscount Lane at all, but was driven to Viscount Lane by the northern barbarian army.
Hearing such an answer, Arthur was shocked again: "Uncle Kevin, you mean that the northern part of the empire has fallen?"
Kevin nodded and said, "Yes, the northern front of the empire has completely fallen, and the barbarians and iceborne orcs have gone south. ”
Arthur really never imagined that the situation in the Empire would be so difficult now.
Judging from the news that Kevin said, it seems that the Sun Empire is on the verge of total shattering.
Whether it is the northern front, the western front, or the southern front, it is completely passive, and it is simply unable to resist those alien armies.
Kevin whispered with some anger on his face when he said this: "Even so, our Sun Emperor is still enjoying his life, and he is still thinking about having a luxurious birthday, and the collapse of the Sun Empire seems to be unstoppable." ”
Hearing this, Arthur finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "But, but Uncle Kevin, if that's the case, isn't there anyone in the family who comes forward to reprimand?"
The Golden Aristocracy of Atherle and Kevin is the "Golden Scale", which means balance and judgment.
Therefore, according to the system of the Sun Empire, the Golden Balance family has the power to judge everything, including reprimanding the Sun Emperor.
Arthur couldn't understand why the family didn't come forward to accuse the Sun Emperor since he had made such a mediocre mistake?
Kevin sighed and asked Arthur to sit down first, and then said: "Today's Sun Empire is no longer what it used to be, and now that the Sun Emperor trusts those Dragon Nation people even more, the power of the twelve golden nobles has been weakened too much. ”
Arthur was even more shocked, he didn't expect that he had been away from the imperial capital for all these years, and the current situation of the Sun Empire had become like this.
The power of the Twelve Golden Aristocrats, who originally controlled the Sun Empire, was greatly weakened and replaced by the newly rising Dragons and Magicians' Guild.
According to Kevin, the Sun Emperor has great trust in the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and even often brings the great mechanic from the Dragon Kingdom with him.
And the magician union, which seems to be composed of magicians, has been secretly investigated by the twelve golden nobles, and it seems that the dragon people are also in control behind the scenes.
"In other words, has the current Sun Empire been controlled by that group of dragon people?"
Shocked to see Uncle Kevin nodding, Arthur continued to ask, "But, but why would the Holy See tolerate such a thing?"
"Holy See?" Kevin sneered, "You also saw just now, Cortrow is a white-robed archbishop, but what can he do?"
Hearing this, Arthur was completely speechless, recalling some of the performances of Cortro when he came to the viscounty this time, and indeed it seemed that he was no longer as domineering as before.
And the church of the viscount was almost silent during this time, as if it had disappeared.
In this way, the power of the Holy See should also be suppressed, which is why Cotro is so low-key in the viscounty.
Arthur suddenly felt that he seemed to be completely incomprehensible to the pattern of the Solar Empire now, and he didn't understand why it had suddenly become like this?
Whether it is the twelve golden nobles, the Holy See, or the local powerhouses like Viscount Lane, they have lost the power they should have.
When being attacked by aliens like this, he can only be forced to retreat by the aliens step by step, and shrink into a place that is forbidden by the aliens.
It all felt like a huge conspiracy, but for a moment Athur couldn't capture the real point?
Seeing Arthur's puzzled and thoughtful look, Kevin stretched out his hand and patted his nephew: "Don't think about that, now our uncle and nephew have to work hard after all, gain a firm foothold in this Viscount of Lane, and meet the tough battles in the future." ”
"Tough battle, uncle, do you mean that the barbarians of the north will come soon?"
Kevin nodded solemnly: "Yes, not only the barbarians in the north, but also those sea tribes in the sea in the south. ”
Listening to these words, Arthur sensed that the next battle might really be very dangerous.
While Arthur was pondering, Kevin said again, "By the way, I heard that Viscount Lane has a dragon with a dragon?"
Atherston came back to his senses and remembered some agreements between himself and the dragonborn.
After being stunned for a moment, he replied to Kevin: "Yes, uncle, but that dragon man entered the dark realm of the dark witch." ”
A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Kevin's face: "That's really a pity, I originally wanted to use the power of that dragon countryman." ”
Arthur smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, that Dragon Country man is very arrogant, I'm afraid it is impossible for us to take advantage of it easily. ”
Kevin shook his head and said, "No, as long as he is from the Dragon Kingdom, then I am sure that he will help us." ”
Uncle's words made Arthur very puzzled: "Uncle, what can you do?
Kevin smiled confidently: "Naturally, there is news about their dragon, we are also born as a golden nobleman, and my uncle still has some news in his hands, but unfortunately now that dragon country man is trapped." ”
Arthur was really surprised, he didn't expect that the twelve golden nobles would actually know the news that the dragon kingdom had lost the dragon.
Could it be that the dragon in the Dragon Kingdom was lost back then, and was it really stolen by those betrayers?
Without giving Arthur time to think more, Kevin patted him and said, "Okay, you go and prepare, and then you have to adjust to being an archon." ”
