Nacini stood in the study with a gloomy face, today's "skeleton exploration" did not cause a reaction, but he couldn't let go of his heart, but it made him confirm that his brother had indeed made some preparations.

Dios sat on the sidelines, having just briefed the prince on the role of the Seed of Light, which made Nacini even more sure of his guesses.

"It's already obvious that they're eavesdropping on our conversations, and Jonas must have something in store. He walked agitated around the room, all of whom had no contact with Innedil or Jonas except Dios.

"I decided to start a mutiny if it didn't work out. Under the anxious gaze of everyone, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"General Cartroman, I hope you can return to the war zone under the pretext that the Holy Alliance has an anomaly, echoing from afar, we can't put all our bets on Valhalla. ”

"Your Highness, I am willing to follow your orders," Cattroman bowed slightly and nodded to the person next to him, "but now is not the time to be self-conscious, I am a legendary professional, and my stay can ensure the safety of His Majesty the Prince." ”

"Blood Drinker Demon Knife" Cartroman, this middle-aged and handsome man with a bit of morbidity, is a powerful warrior of the legendary level.

"I know," Prince Nacini shook his head helplessly, "but we need a general who has a firm grip on the army in the war zone, so that they will not dare to act rashly, and only you can have this excuse not to participate in the 'Victory Day Celebrations.'" “

"Don't worry, Blood Fox, I'm a little worse than you, but I'm only one step away. Ruberdine next to him smiled.

"Good. Carter Roman stood up, glanced at everyone one by one, and arched his hand, "I will set off immediately, and you will cherish it." ”

The "Victory Day Celebration" is a celebration of victory and triumph. It mainly includes the worship of the god of war, military parade ceremonies, military awards and program performances, and the last is a grand carnival. This triennial, two-to-three-day grand festival has always been a feast for the soldiers and civilians of Vanuna.

But this year is very different, and the Thunder King wants to announce his heir on this holiday, which suddenly makes the atmosphere of the last few days solemn.

In previous years, the parade of about 100,000 people was reduced to about 60,000 this year, but with the addition of Nachina's Purple Light Cavalry Regiment and the Praetorian Guard stationed in Vanuna, it can still reach a terrifying number. If you add the private soldiers of Jonas and the great nobles, the army gathered near the capital has a terrifying number of nearly 150,000.

"General Finn has told me about the plan for the day," Nacini glanced around, "Father will announce the choice of heir after the military parade and the awarding of honors, and if Jonas makes any moves, we will immediately protect Father and move closer to the army......"

His voice was a little infarcted, and if he was the heir and Jonas was different, it was of course to protect his father. If not, it can only be called "hijacking".

"General Livo, could you please explain the current situation in Vanuna?" he turned to a general with a majestic face.

This is the Undersecretary of Military Affairs of the Empire, and is authorized by the full representative of the Chief of War.

"I have always believed that any politics that reaches the most advanced stage is a military duel, such as now," said Livo solemnly with a square face and thick eyebrows, "The most powerful military force in this celebration comes from the 50,000 Janissaries who will be transferred from the Vanuna Theater to participate in the deployment, and the other Praetorian Guards will stick to their original posts." These 50,000 Praetorian Guards can basically be regarded as neutral, and at most there is a slight obstruction. ”

"The second place in military strength is the elite troops from all over the country who came to participate in the military parade, mainly from the five major theaters, mobile regiments and specialized regiments, with a total of 60,000 troops. ”

"With the exception of the Legion of Magicians, who remain neutral, the Specialized Legion has low combat capabilities and can be ignored. ”

"We can control sixty percent of the troops drawn from the war zone, and Jonas can control twenty percent of them. ”

"The same is true of the proportion in mobile corps. So the number of troops we can fully control is about 30,000. ”

"Of course, although the Purple Light Cavalry Regiment is not stationed in the city, and it will take about a quarter of an hour or two to arrive, these 10,000 cavalry will allow us to make a final decision. ”

"To sum up, the number of troops we can control is about 40,000 to 50,000, and the number of troops that remain neutral is about 70,000 to 80,000. ”

Nacini nodded and muttered, "There are about 20,000 to 30,000 private soldiers controlled by Jonas and the great nobles he has wooed, but their combat effectiveness is very different from ours. ”

"I've got the information," the chief of the intelligence department next to him pondered, "and Jonas has co-opted some of the commanders of the Praetorian Guard, about one to twenty thousand. ”

Nacini smiled slightly, "It's okay, General Fein assured me that he would not take sides, but if the Praetorian Guard dared to attack us, his army would be dispatched immediately." ”

"Now let's start making a plan," Prince Nacini said, with a serious expression, "life or death, in this move." ”

"Now I announce our plan," said Prince Jonas in a deep voice, "and I will make or break it." ”

In his camp, there are a large number of civil and important officials, including the chief of administration, the chief financial officer, and the chief of officials, but they do not play much role at this time. On the contrary, some of the big nobles who are inclined to the Church of Light are private, and they can give him some military support. Of course, a high-ranking official like the Chief Administrator was originally a member of the great aristocracy.

His main hope, however, rested on the promise of the Church of Light.

Inedil sat behind Jonas, smiling quietly, listening to Jonas discuss various contingency arrangements with his cronies until the end of the day.

The cronies disbanded, and the chief of administration said goodbye to Jonas at the last of his all.

"Your Highness," the gray-haired Chief Administrator bowed deeply and sighed, "are we really going to do this? ”

"The Snowton Empire has always been a military man, and politics can only serve the war, how can you build a country in the long run?" Jonas stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a straight face, "Isn't it your lifelong wish to unify military power under the regime?"

Watching the chief of administration gradually walk away, Inedil walked over and said with a smile,

"You can also win over this kind of person who is below one person and above ten thousand people?"

"The empire does not have a prime minister, and the rank of the chief of military affairs is even higher than him," Jonas said softly, "who would be willing to have the ability of a prime minister, but he can only be a logistics officer who fills the gaps for the army?"

"That's where the Snowton Empire is inadequate," Innedil laughs, "and there's a fundamental conflict between the increasingly powerful civil service and the knightly class that is at the base of the empire." ”

"What's on Nacini's side?" Jonas asked not wanting to talk about it, turning back.

"I don't know what to do," Innedir shook his head, "I tested the two followers of the evil mage today, and the 'Seed of Light' may have been exposed. ”

"How so?" Jonas was a little anxious,

"Their plans can be guessed as well," Innedil laughed calmly.

"What's more, in the face of absolute strength, what can these be?" (double watch, the first plot point is coming)
