Watching from afar the soldiers of the four legions retreat in an orderly manner under the organization of their respective officers, a big rock finally fell in Raymond's heart, for a teenager, everything that happened today was a little too much for him to imagine.

"Ahem!" a violent cough came from the old emperor's mouth, and the continuous coughing caused the old emperor to bend over and hold Raymond's arm hard to keep his balance, and his face was red with wrinkles and old age spots.

As Raymond was soothing the old emperor's back, Leo looked back at Cardinal Owen, his eyes full of inquiry. Cardinal Owen shook his head slightly, signaling that he was powerless, which made the faces of Duke Solo and Elder Nathaniel, who were also concerned, instantly turn pale.

"Alright, Raymond, good boy, I'm much better. ”

The old emperor finally stopped coughing, took a few deep breaths, and said to Raymond: "My body is no longer good, and I am already blessed by the goddess to be able to hold on until now." ”

With a slight wave of his hand, the old emperor stopped Raymond's words of comfort.

"Listen to me, son, and the empire will be handed over to you in the future. The Empire isn't in a good place right now, no, it's terrible, but I'm sure you'll be able to continue the glory of our Gavins, right?

Under the expectant gaze of the old emperor, Raymond choked with tears in his eyes and nodded. The old emperor's face showed a smile of relief: "Leo, although you have many secrets, but you can always be by Raymond's side, I believe that Raymond will not be wrong, I hope you can continue to assist Raymond in the future, okay?"

Leo, who was named by the old emperor, nodded hurriedly with some flattery: "Your Majesty, don't worry! I regard Raymond as my friend and brother, and I will definitely stand by his side forever!"

"Solo, Nathaniel!" the two old ministers who were named by the old emperor hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Old friends, I can't do it anymore, the future empire will rely on you to guide Raymond, I hope you can teach him as your own son and nephew, and make our empire more prosperous and powerful!" The old emperor took the hands of the two old ministers, and there were tears on his face.

Solo Da Pingsu's cold appearance was gone, and he choked up and returned: "Your Majesty, don't worry! We will definitely make the Waru Empire better than before!"

The chubby patriarch Nathaniel was even more tearful and cried, and the old emperor tapped his finger at him and scolded: "Look at your appearance, Nathaniel, you are the chief patriarch of the empire, you must be a model of nobility, pay attention to your image and demeanor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old emperor coughed violently again, but this time it was not only a cough, but a large mouthful of blood clots also gushed out of his mouth, and the purple-black blood stains were particularly dazzling on the white jade-like stone steps.

"Purge the post-party, sweep the South, pacify the people, Raymond...... Later...... It's all up to you in the future!" In the exclamation of everyone, the old emperor's breath gradually weakened, and he struggled to leave the last sentence, and a generation of emperors passed away.

"Father!!" Raymond let out a sad cry, holding the old emperor's still warm body tightly in his hands, and slowly knelt on the ground, his face already drowning in tears.

"Alas!" Prince Grantham, who had been watching from the sidelines, sighed softly, although Gavin XII was not a good and virtuous emperor, but in the end, it was really sympathetic that he had fallen into such a situation.

Cardinal Owen had a cold face on the side, without the slightest intention of stepping forward, this trip to the Varu Empire, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations. Under the leadership of Prince Grantham, the royal family of the Varu Empire clearly had the upper hand, and the old emperor used his prestige to subdue the four legions at the last moment of his life, clearing the way for Crown Prince Raymond to succeed to the throne.

It can be said that the purpose of Cardinal Owen's trip has been frustrated, and he is naturally very unhappy in his heart, but he is also a scheming person, and what he thinks in his heart will naturally not be expressed, and the just right sad expression on his face at this time is naturally sad for the death of the old emperor in the eyes of others.

Leo patted Raymond lightly to calm his emotions, and then the old Nathaniel took care of the old emperor's funeral. After Leo summoned his soldiers, he arranged for Ney to bring them back to his mansion in the imperial capital, and at the same time informed Momochi Yukishige to return to the mansion as well.

The death of the emperor is simply worse for the stormy Waru Empire, but it is just in response to the old saying, the house leak coincided with the overnight rain, and the bad news came one after another, first the southern rebels under the leadership of Archduke William attacked the city of Rien, and broke the commercial town of Rien overnight. The lord of the city, the Marquis of Griffins, was imprisoned for participating in the rebellion as a rebel, and the city defense officer chose to surrender instead of serving the country in times of crisis, so that the city of Rien was easily captured by the southern rebels, which also exposed the shortcomings of the corrupt and scattered people of the Varu Empire.

What followed to the stunned of all the people was that the southern neighbor Kingdom of Lorraine openly tore its face and sent elite magicians to forcibly occupy several cities in the southern provinces.

The empire is shaky, the situation is critical, Raymond with the help of many old ministers, announced his accession to the throne the next day, and issued an imperial decree to inform all the people not to be alarmed, the empire still has four major legions, the southern rebels are just a disease of mustard, and a small kingdom of Lorraine dares to provoke the dignified empire, it will definitely suffer the full suppression and retaliation of the empire, when the empire is in danger, all the people should work together to tide over the difficulties.

After the release of the document, Raymond's first thing was to reinstate the commanders of the original four legions to guard the borders of the empire, and at the same time ordered the promotion of Baron Leo to the count of the empire, the grizzly legion, one of the four major legions of the empire, under his banner, and appointed Count Leo as the commander of the southern counterinsurgency, eradicating the southern rebels and counterattacking the invasion of the Kingdom of Lorraine.

The patriarchs had a dispute over Raymond's first will, and Nathaniel, who was originally quite optimistic about Leo, was the first to object, believing that Leo was too young to serve the public, and he had no experience in commanding troops to fight, so it was too difficult for Leo to take on such a heavy task at once.

Contrary to Nathaniel, Duke Solo, who has always been wary of Leo, supported Leo this time. After all, there are endless elite soldiers under Leo, and instead of being a confidant in the empire, it is better to let him use it to fight abroad, and it can also test how loyal Leo is to the empire.
