Chapter 377: The Battle for the Throne

"It's been half a month, and the successor king hasn't been elected yet, could it be that the empire is raising a bunch of waste?"

The death of King Horsens and the disaster of the Salvation Society have long been spread throughout the empire and abroad.

But since this happened, the royal family of the Horsens Empire has remained silent as if someone had suddenly covered their mouths.

Seeing that the Horsens Empire was already collapsing, Mick couldn't help but complain about it at the regular meeting.

"It's that simple," Aubrey continued, shaking his head.

However, as soon as his words fell, he saw an attendant hurriedly coming from outside the hall, raising the thing in his right hand, looking down at the stairs under his feet from time to time, and suddenly looking up at the chamber.

Keith, who was waiting on the side, saw this and hurriedly walked out of the conference hall.

The two happened to meet outside the conference hall, only to see this person coming from outside the hall hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in Keith's ear, and the conversation was not long, but only two or three sentences.

But more importantly, he carefully placed the object in Keith's hand, and looked down from time to time to make sure that he had indeed handed it to Bird.

After explaining his affairs, this person hurriedly nodded to everyone in the council hall, and then quickly turned around and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

The thing fell into Keith's hand, and he turned around and walked briskly towards the council chamber with the same holding motion.

As soon as they approached, everyone saw clearly what was in their hands, a small parchment scroll that looked like a scroll, but the patterns drawn on it made everyone a little frightened.

After a glance or two, he quickly withdrew his gaze, but some would glance at the others in the chamber, but more quickly turned their heads, expressionless and pretending not to see.

"It's Prince Taylor's letter," Bird said suddenly, as the scene fell silent.

"The letter is not long, it is about signaling to the Stanlow Free Lords that we should follow Prince Taylor and help him fight for the throne," Bird said, and threw the parchment in his hand to Aubrey beside him, and motioned for him to turn around and show everyone present.

"There's nothing to hide about this kind of thing, this kind of letter is not Prince Taylor's own hand, but his order, I guess it's not just my Stanlow family who got this letter."

"Don't worry," Bird said comfortingly, seeing Aubrey waving his hand.

Seeing Bird say this, Aubrey could only swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He looked at Bird and saw that he was nodding to him. I had to reach over and take the parchment scroll.

The back of the scroll depicts the family coat of arms, the family coat of arms of the royal family of the Horsens Empire. So when everyone in the council hall saw this emblem, some people turned around and pretended not to see it, and that's exactly why.

On the front of the scroll, as Bird had said, only a few sentences were written.

At present, the empire has no owner, the royal family is in turmoil, Prince Taylor can't bear to see the entire empire in such turmoil, so he is willing to stand up, re-stabilize the situation, and lead the Horsens Empire to reach the top again, and he needs someone to help him do so, so at the end of the article, he proposed to invite the Stanlow Free Leader to join and follow him, and glorify the Horsens Empire together, so that it can return to the peak day.

Aubrey quickly scanned the lines, and in order to make sure that he had not missed anything, he deliberately read them twice. It wasn't until he finally confirmed word by word, and there was no other superfluous ciphertext or content, that he passed it to Sid beside him.

The scene fell into a state of silence again, and those who had seen it were pondering the meaning of the sudden letter, while those who had not seen it were waiting for the letter to reach them.

The letter was finally handed over to Byrd by Captain Mick.

"What do you think of this letter after reading it?" Bird showed Zhan the parchment again, quickly scanning it twice before rolling it up again and handing it to Keith behind him.

"Is the empire really coming to an end?" someone suddenly wailed.

"We don't know yet, I just know that one of the things we have to face at the moment is how to face the next battle for the throne"

"I have a hunch that we will receive more than just one letter from Prince Taylor!"

"Think about the current situation, the news of the old king's death has been half a month ago, and I think this news must have spread throughout the entire Horsens Empire! The old king died so suddenly, and he died so strangely! But there is no news from the royal family at present! I didn't even send someone to Dophiladelphia to check if there was still the old king's body!"

"I think the imperial capital may have already fallen into a tense situation! The entire royal family may be preparing for this battle for the throne!"

"It seems that there is no royal family who cares about the dead, and no one looks back and reminisces about the past. People only care about who will be the successor and who will control the future."

Bird's words caused the atmosphere at the scene to be a little solemn.

But what Bird said was true, after the events in Philadelphia. The city of Stanlow sent personnel to Dophila to search for the bodies of the victims. However, it was found that the entire city of Dophila had long since disappeared out of thin air, and there was only dust except dust.

They hadn't even found some decent flesh and blood organization, so it was even harder to find the dead of the Knights, or the bodies of some key Salvation Society figures, not to mention the bodies of King Horsens.

In order to prevent accidental omissions, the searchers deliberately spent some more time in the original location of Philadelphia. They also encountered many teams from other places who had come to search for the bodies of the victims in the same mood as Stanlow.

But they couldn't wait for the royal family's search team.

This rare anomaly was naturally reported to Bird and the others as a top priority after the searchers returned to Stanlow.

In order to prevent accidents, some people were specially left to observe in Dophiladelphia.

But so far, they have not received any news that the royal search team has come to search for the king's body.

I have to say that this incident made everyone present a little frightened.

And with this incident, it can be said that Bird has already given them a preventive shot, so that they don't have to react too violently to today's events. (To be continued.) )
