At this time, the grievances between various wealthy families, and even blood feuds, are not so important. If the trees are about to fall, what's the point of the monkeys fighting in the trees?

The meaning of the words of the iron-blooded Grand Duke is that he has not yet entered the ranks of super powerhouses. And the Tibetan Sword at this time about the battle of the iron-blooded Grand Duke, obviously not as simple as fighting, obviously the Millennium Empire keenly noticed something, so it used the mildest means to try to start prying the cornerstone of the alliance.

If the Holy Alliance were to be annexed by the other two empires, it would be likely that Faust's ordinary aristocratic treatment would not change, as they were the cornerstone of a kingdom and weak enough. But the floating island giants are different, they must be the target of the attack.

As long as there is a chance, whether it is the Holy Tree Dynasty or the Millennium Empire, they will completely dismember these wealthy families at the first time, and the local nobles of the two long-established empires will definitely not let an outside face appear in the already stable upper circle. So if you talk about surrendering, the floating island giants must be the last group of nobles to surrender.

A wealthy family head suddenly slapped the conference table and said angrily: "This Longdestaide is really poisonous!"

As soon as this sentence came out, several family heads immediately showed a sudden expression. Richard also remembered the strange persistence of Field Marshal Rundstead at the end of the day in the city where the sun never sets.

If it weren't for the danger of the sun falling, Philip wouldn't have to give up the convenience of the legion fortress and step out of the place of the rising sun to fight to the death with the two superpowers of Daxodas to open up the situation in the entire land of twilight. Now it seems that the battle of the city on which the sun never sets seems to be deliberately forcing Philip to have no choice but to enter the crisis.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was Philip who said, "I don't believe that Rundstead would do such a thing." He was just misled by some people and insisted on doing what he thought was right. This guy is a military man by nature, but sometimes not so smart. ”

Since the emperor said so, all the heads of the family reluctantly accepted it, and there was no way to accept it. Marshal Rundstead is also considered a strong man in the legend, otherwise he would not be in charge of the entire battle situation in the capital where the sun never sets. In the current situation, any legendary powerhouse is a valuable combat power.

At this moment, no one in the round table hall could laugh anymore.

Philip, however, said in a calm voice as if nothing had happened, "The second thing is that I am ready to give up the throne of the Holy Alliance. For the alliance, the emperor's throne, the one sitting on it does not have to be a Ming monarch, but it must be a strong one. Now I am no longer qualified to sit on it. Therefore, I will hold an evaluation of the prince and the princess in advance. As far as their current points are concerned, my personal recommendations include: Nero, who may not be able to become a top powerhouse, but he will definitely become an emperor in the entire history of the alliance. The second is Neris, after experiencing the baptism of the Holy Realm, he now has the purest Thunder Destroyer bloodline among the younger generation of the royal family, and it should not be a problem to enter the legend. The problem with Neris, however, is that his current personality is not majestic. Finally, there was a candidate who surprised even me, Ryan. Yes, Ryan was only thirteen years old, but he showed no less pure blood than Nerith. If the god of luck favors him, Ryan has a good chance of becoming the strongest person in this generation of royalty in the future, and maybe he has a chance to get close to my realm. But Ryan is too young, and if he is to be put on the throne, everyone here will need to be patient enough to wait for him to grow up. ”

The heads of the wealthy families were all lost in thought.

Nero and Nereus are both favourites to succeed to the throne. Originally, Nereus was behind in points, but the alliance with Richard in recent years has made his personal power grow by leaps and bounds, and the most recent points announcement has caught up with Nero. Now Nero no longer has an absolute advantage. And when Nereus broke through the Sanctuary, his hidden talent finally began to appear, and the power of the bloodline was greatly improved, and he also raised the bloodline of the Thunder Destroyer to the second stage of the bloodline manifestation during the Sacred Domain's solid period, and the road to the strong in the future was extremely broad.

The Thunder Destroyers are a collective term for the race of the Elder Giants, which also includes a number of specific races. There are the legendary Star Dome Destroyers, and there are also the powerful Thunder Titans, and even the weakest various Thunder Giants have the power to be inferior to the dragons.

When the royal family's Thunder Destroyer bloodline has developed to the second stage, the racial imprint in the depths of the bloodline will emerge. Nereus possesses the bloodline of the Dark Thunder Titan, and it can be regarded as a powerful existence in the entire Thunder Destroyer race, and its future is naturally limitless.

But Nereus's flaw is just as obvious, and that is his personality problem. Although Philip didn't say it explicitly, but how could the heads of the wealthy families not know? This is also a private news that has plagued the royal family and the wealthy recently, after awakening the bloodline of the Dark Thunder Titan, I don't know what happened in the process, Nereus suddenly had an unimaginable personality change, the most obvious place is that he is a little confused about his gender orientation.

Although this kind of thing is not worth making a fuss about in private in aristocratic circles, some people still regard it as elegant. However, it is another matter to let such a person sit on the throne of God, and the entire Holy Alliance will be disgraced.

Nero is indeed wise and calm, but his biggest problem is that his talent is limited, although his current force has surpassed the ordinary holy realm, but it will stop there, even if he can break through the legend, I am afraid it will be after middle age.

The Holy Alliance is not actually an empire in the traditional sense, but rather a loose association of nobles, with the royal family and the various nobles being semi-allied and semi-dominant. In this situation, the strength of the emperor is very necessary.

And Nero also faced another problem that could not be avoided, that is, Charles, the founding emperor of the Alliance, once had a rule that if someone among the descendants of the royal family can evolve the bloodline power of the Thunder Destroyer to the third stage and can incarnate the Thunder Destroyer of the corresponding race, if the Alliance Emperor at that time is not a legendary powerhouse, then he will automatically become the emperor of the Holy Alliance.

At the current pace, when Nerith delves deeper into the Legendary Realm, there is a good chance that he will evolve the power of the bloodline to the third stage. That is bound to cause turmoil.

And Ryan was an unexpected candidate. As the youngest prince, although he had not entered the field of vision of most nobles before, he had now shown a talent that was comparable to Neris, and more importantly, he looked like a normal teenager in every way. There can be more than one maid who proves this with her own experience.

Choosing Ryan, after waiting for more than ten years, he may gain an emperor with good military force and unknown government affairs. But such a choice is tantamount to gambling, no one knows what will happen in a dozen years, and Ryan is too young to see any character qualities that can be called traits.

For the vast majority of the decades of Philip's reign, he was not a qualified emperor, and could even be described as incompetent. However, before his accession to the throne, Philip was a powerful figure with a mixed reputation, with very clear strengths and weaknesses.

"Your Majesty, do you need to vote for the heir selection this time?" asked the Iron Princess.

Philip nodded and said, "Vote." ”

The Iron Duke stopped talking, and seemed to glance at Richard inadvertently.

There are two ways to inherit the throne of the Holy Alliance, one is appointed by the emperor, which is also the more common way for various human empires. On the other hand, the emperor proposes a candidate, and then the floating island magnates vote to choose one of several candidates to inherit the throne. The second method is unique to the Holy Alliance, and most directly reflects the relationship between the royal family and the wealthy families of the floating island.

This seemed to limit the emperor's rights, but it was advantageous from the perspective of the entire imperial family and even the alliances. On the one hand, the future emperor is elected by a wealthy family, and he will naturally get many strong allies. On the other hand, the unstable factors of the change of the imperial throne are digested in advance during the election process, and the subsequent power rotation can be smoothly transitioned and internal friction can be minimized.

Richard keenly caught the gaze of the iron-blooded Grand Duke, and also noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of several wealthy family heads. These heads of the family are all old foxes, and their joy and anger are invisible. If it weren't for the numerical vision brought about by Richard's true talent, it would not have been possible to detect their strange changes.

In an instant, the Holy Covenant, which laid the legal foundation of the entire Holy Alliance, flashed through Richard's heart. He found the provision in the vast text, the appendix of the covenant detailed the qualifications to vote for the heir to the throne, and the family that could participate in the heir vote must be a floating island wealthy family and must have the title of duke.

This was in the early days of the founding of the country, in order to more firmly control power in the hands of the royal family and a few core families, and to avoid a group of franchised nobles at that time from directly seizing the dominance of the alliance at the conference table. By the time the Holy Alliance gained a firm foothold in the Human Empire, and the relationship between the major families gradually reached a relative balance in the long-term cooperation and confrontation, this clause would have long been in vain. Because a family that does not even have a duke's background cannot stand on Faust.

However, the surname Akmund seems to have been born to perform miracles, first the title of Marquis of Gordon seems to be a silent mockery of the families at the foot of the mountain, and then his eldest son. Under normal circumstances, the eldest son of a field marquis would be only a viscount at most if he received his father's subtitle.

Suddenly, Richard understood the subtext behind Cannan's original conspiracy, which turned out to be to avoid his participation in the vote for the heir to the throne! Richard and Nereus's current alliance determined that his vote would definitely be for Neres.
