Chapter 351: The End of the Empire
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThings change in a gradual process, for example, a person's growth, parents who stay by their side all the time will not find their children's smile changes all the time, so ten years ago, and even ten years later, in the eyes of parents, it is the same. But if you visit a relative you haven't seen for a long time, they will often praise the child's rapid growth. After all, the speed of a child's growth is often what most adults admire.
The people in the imperial capital have already seen many big things, and it stands to reason that there is nothing that can surprise them. However...... It is these days that certain things are fermenting at an unbelievable speed, even if many people do not know the reason for it from beginning to end, and they are vaguely aware of the ominous meaning......
As the political center of a country, the imperial capital does have a political sensitivity that has been passed down to the bone marrow, even if the people who live in it are not very willing. After all...... No matter what country it is, the number of people in the capital is often dozens or even hundreds of times that of other cities. And it's still in the Empire...... If ordinary civilians do not have a little political sensitivity, they will easily touch the mold of those powerful and nobles, and maybe lose their lives because of this.
Therefore, no matter what else it is, it is just to save his own life, out of his instinct to be able to pass on the ability of future generations, this ability is generally proficient in the bone marrow.
Even ordinary civilians can sense the signs of the coming storm in the recent period, which also shows how big this matter will be from another aspect.
In the past, those children of the royal family who had invaded the imperial capital in the secret of the demons and did not stay for even a quarter of an hour at all rushed here like crazy at this moment. Because of the wealth and nobility of this group of people, at least on the surface, the gates of the imperial capital were kept open, and one after another magnificent carriages kept rushing into the city from the other side of the gates, and it was obvious that there was no confusion and hesitation like the other guys who had just come to the royal capital, and they were all stunned and headed towards a certain place.
This illustrates...... The owners of these carriages, from a very early age, were already fully familiar with all the geography of the royal capital. The road was not lost, because they had already placed their own inheritance in the royal capital, and they did not forget to seal them before leaving, looking forward to taking them over when they returned.
Although there is not much hope left...... However, this group of people is like this, as long as there is meat to eat, even if it is just a little broth, they will pounce on it like hungry wolves without hesitation.
This is exactly the emperor's own children or relatives, all of whom are related to the word "royalty", and because this generation is the only one who has produced Ryanna, this group is the biggest moth in the entire empire.
The most incompetent group wants to enjoy the highest level of treatment in this country, so it is precisely because of the existence of these guys that the image of the royal family in the eyes of the public, including many nobles, has collapsed day after day. Many people are indeed respectful to members of the royal family on the surface, but who knows if they take a hard bite the moment they turn around?
The crowd watched the carriages whistle through the streets, frowning faintly. Originally, these guys left the imperial capital, and the life of the people was much better. As these fellows come back again, they sigh that their hard days have come again.
But why did these royals go and come back? Although they were also extremely embarrassed and anxious when they left, they were afraid that their footsteps would fall behind others, and at this time, they ...... It was even more urgent than it was then, and the desire for his own life was still not as strong as the desire for extreme power and wealth. Obviously, there are few things that can transcend a stage beyond one's own life, and even if there is, it should be an extremely precious thing that people spend a lot of time pursuing in their lives, such as friendship, such as love.
But simply let such mundane things like money take precedence over one's own life...... I have to say that these so-called children of the royal family are also unbelievably sad existence.
A citizen who watched the gorgeous carriage go away shook his head silently, with his habit of living in the imperial capital all the year round, he had a very deep understanding of the children of these so-called "high-level bloodlines". For them, their own lives are very important, but the latter is more attractive to them than a priceless treasure.
The so-called priceless treasure...... It did not exert much power on him, just as the most precious treasure of the peasant is the seedling that needs to be planted in his own hands in the coming year, and the most precious treasure of the merchant is the commodity that will be turned into food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the family in his hand. Some things that are rare in the splendid world, in their eyes, are just troublesome things that look a little better, but actually have no use.
Everyone's hobbies are different. It's just a matter of looking at it from an ordinary point of view...... Obviously, the "treasures" of ordinary people are more simple and popular than the "treasures" of some powerful people.
In his heart, he scoffed at this kind of thing, and in the simple concept of passing by the old man, after all, it was something that he did not look down on, and these people had to spend a lot of energy to obtain it as best they could, which seemed quite ridiculous and incomprehensible in his eyes. It's just that many things can't be thought of after all, and he can only shake his head and sigh and leave, looking extremely worried about the coming of the next hard days.
Even the people who pass by and take a casual look can feel the sense of crisis of "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", but it is just ...... Maybe it's more than they imagined...... It's even more serious.
No matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that it was the very thing that made these people as crazy as hungry wolves...... It was not long ago that an edict came from the imperial palace at the political hub of the imperial capital.
"The throne will be given to those who are fit for it, and I have voluntarily abdicated. ”
"If there are a lot of competitors, you have to take a special competitive approach to decide who is suitable. ”
An edict from an emperor, or perhaps a previous one, is telling the people of the world an almost impossible command. In many kingdoms in human history, not only in the continent of Gadia, but even in the long history of the present world, the succession of thrones is all full of blood, and even through a tragic war to determine the official fate of the throne.
The Empire is no exception, and even more so than average. Everyone silently accepted this fact in their hearts, but with the emperor's simple act of delegating power, it surprised those who were familiar with the routine.
And then...... A desperate frenzy ensued.
Although some not-so-stupid royal families also thought about the various reasons for this, because this is no longer the original empire, and the political power of the entire country has even been controlled by a group of demons...... Perhaps, this is exactly what they are planning to do?
This is not something that is difficult to guess, there must be demons when things happen, and there must be a reason behind the occurrence of a strange thing that no one organized.
However...... Even if you think of such a possibility, you can't just give up a piece of fatty fresh meat in front of you.
The throne has an unimaginable allure for these people. Like a piece of juice flowing with water, for a refugee who has just come out of the desert and is already hungry and thirsty, even if there is a strange trap underneath the melon, he will not hesitate to pounce on it.
Whether the trap can catch the prey depends only on whether the lure placed on the trap is attractive enough to the prey, but the concealment of the trap is secondary.
Even if you think about it, it's only for a moment. When they heard that the other royal families had taken the lead in their own actions, these "cautious" strategists couldn't hold back their feelings, and they rushed over with the greatest speed for fear that they would fall behind others.
I guess each of them has a similar idea in their hearts...... If we have the same blood flowing in our bodies, why are you the king and I am not?! Everyone has the idea of climbing to the highest peak in their own field, which is also based on the most common instinctive reaction of "people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places". This is not only a reflection of one's own ability, but also a guarantee of one's own personality. Merely...... The highest peak is not the top of the landscape mountain, but the highest peak of the material "power" pursued by these magnates, and the most distinctive representative of this place is a position that can be summed up in two simple words: "throne".
There are already people in that place...... Therefore, a group of people can only look at the ocean and sigh below. The indignant emotion in my heart is difficult to hide after all...... But here's the opportunity!
The emperor takes turns to do it, and next year he will come to my house. Even if many people know that the so-called "throne" is just a false name up to now, it is a coincidence that it carries the wishes of the vast majority of people, so that they will return to the imperial capital without hesitation.
At that time...... Something that civilians passing by can also anticipate.
The imperial capital will set off a violent storm, which is indeed right.
Merely...... With their knowledge, the degree of expectation was still a little lighter after all.
The worst situation that can be expected is nothing more than a big fight between the royal forces, which represents individual forces, to the point of fighting each other and breaking the blood.
All the royal families have worked hard for such a long time, and the entire power is also extremely large within the scope of the imperial capital, and the battle between this group of creatures like Tyrannosaurus rex, just imagining it, has already made some people tremble slightly.
However, in the end, the state of this storm was underestimated.
Not a storm that would destroy a city, but a storm that would sweep through an entire country, devastating the entire territory of an empire.
The other party is a demon king...... All actions are aimed at reducing the living force of the Terrans, and even leading a large number of Warcraft legions will not deviate from this purpose. Slaughtering the human race is the ultimate goal of the demon race, and outside of this purpose, even if it is the task of fighting the brave, you have to stand aside obediently.
In Allman's eyes, even if he rolled up the entire imperial capital, the impact was still too small.
So...... You have to pull the whole country up.
So he was a little more cautious on top of the edict.
That's right...... He did not say whether the throne of the empire could only be granted to those who were also of royal blood. After all, this is just a inheritance between normal thrones, and this inheritance is not compatible with "normal" after all.
"As long as you are capable, you can adapt to the throne" means "even if you are a member of the royal family, you may not have the ability", and "even if you are not a member of the royal family, as long as you are a capable person, you can still sit on the throne", which is what it means.
The children of the royal family with big nerves didn't realize the clues at first.
Just waiting for a reaction...... Even the royal beasts that had been dormant in the imperial capital for so many thoughts were completely swallowed up by this violent conflict.
In the four corners of the empire, in the southern Xinjiang and northern wilderness, there are many people of insight who have seen through the palace edict at a glance, and their bodies are shocked, and they are also in a hurry to pack their bags and gallop towards the destination.
From the beginning, Allman was not in the confines of the entire imperial capital, but looked at the whole country.
With the most mouth-watering bait, bring together the elite of the entire country, and finally ...... Clean sweep.
The power that encompasses the potential of the entire empire, even the children of the royal family, who are in power, are still unable to compete with it. The scale of this conflict...... It's even bigger than any human-demon war.
In the phantom, there seemed to be a huge black shadow rising up in the sky above the imperial capital, revealing a hideous smile, wanting to completely envelop the light that gathered in all directions into his palm.
This is the end of the empire. (To be continued.) )
