Chapter 1146 key figures
Orlando talked about some major changes in the empire over the past period of time, such as Hausen's control has expanded from Orisgar to a large and small city near the Devil's throat, and half of the northern border has been in Hausen's pocket. Of course, judging by Hausen's current abilities, this is his limit. Unless he gets the support of the army, his influence will have hope of continuing to expand. Otherwise, with a new prime minister, even if Stark is a strong man of the level of Tanglio, he will be helpless.
A Saint-level powerhouse may easily destroy a city and a land, but cannot make more lords loyal. After all, Stark has almost no background in Paradise Star, except for his combat power. Hausen and Rodeck have fallen out, and most lords are now waiting and watching, and Hausen can no longer expand his influence, which is indeed quite embarrassing for him.
In addition, the two commanders in the Dawn Palace, Leon, the former leader of the Silver Frost Iron Guard, and Saro, the commander of the King's Sword, have both left the imperial capital. Leon took away most of the Silver Frost Iron Guards, and Saro even took away all the members of the King's Sword. Because the two of them had acted secretly before, Hausen was busy expanding their influence. By the time they discovered it, it was too late. The Dawn Castle lost two powerful men and a large number of guards, especially the King's Sword, which was a huge blow to Hausen's prestige.
In addition, Leon and Saro announced soon after that they believed what Woodrick said that Julian was the legal successor to the throne and would do everything possible to ensure that Tanglio's will was implemented. At present, the two and their men had joined Woodrick's army, and Hausen was furious about this, but it was useless.
On the southern border, under the leadership of the Bolin family, Huo Yi announced his support for Julian. Therefore, most of the lords from the south joined the alliance, but the combat power of the strong men and the army in the south was several levels worse than that in the northern border. If Julian wanted to launch a counterattack, he had to wait until Woodrick and the others arrived to have enough power.
However, before this, there is another urgent problem to be solved.
"That is how to prove to other neutral lords and generals of the Imperial Corps the authenticity of His Highness Julian's inheritance." Orlando said this and bowed to Julian, "Please forgive me here. After all, relying on the proof of Woodrick and Earl of Allen alone is not enough. We need more accurate evidence. Otherwise, even if Hausen is removed from office, His Highness will get the throne. But in the eyes of others, His Highness's throne is always brought back, not legally inherited. I think there is still a little difference between the two."
Julian nodded, he knew this truth well. The throne he fought back was not justified. Since he could fight for the throne, other princes could of course be able to do so. If someone else was willing to operate behind the scenes, I was afraid that the chaos in the empire would never end. Only by proving the legitimacy of his throne would the imperial group be loyal to him. Only by controlling the power of the country can other people die completely to fight for power and throne.
This road is not easy to walk, but Julian can only walk this way, which is the fundamental way to solve the imperial civil turmoil.
"That night, the father had already returned. He knew that he could not return to Olisgar and announced his decision, so he could only use Woodrick and Earl Alan as witnesses. If we had returned to Olisgar successfully and announced all this, then there would be no such things. But Hausen had snatched before that, and did not know how to obtain the signatures and consents of the official and the Privy Councilor, and succeeded the throne in a legal form." Julian sighed: "Although there is something in it."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) There are too many questions, but at least on the surface, Hausen is legal. Yes, then he in turn accused me of murdering my father. At this time, what General Woodrick and the others said would only make others think that they said so only for the purpose of supporting me."
"Earl Alan and the two witnesses. What they said should have been recognized by the imperial law, but because of Hausen's relationship, people cannot judge. So now, it is difficult to prove the authenticity of the father's will..."
Everyone was silent. This was indeed a difficult problem, so they just ate silently, and the atmosphere on the dining table immediately became solemn. This was a problem that must be solved. If Julian's legitimacy of inheriting the throne could not be too comfortable even if he seized the throne.
Alan suddenly put down his knife and fork, and this action made everyone's attention focus on him. Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe, there is not no way to imagine."
Julian's eyes shone: "Tell me what you think, my dear friend."
"To be honest, it is difficult to believe the authenticity of the Emperor's will, but this path does not mean that we have no way to go. There is another way, I think so, what if people knew that Stark was the culprit of the assassination of the Emperor?"
His words were like a little spark in the dark, weak, but aroused the light of hope. Nebbert followed Allen's idea and murmured: "If everyone knows that the new prime minister is the culprit of killing the emperor, then Hausen, who strongly advocates the new prime minister, will naturally not be able to escape. In that case, Hausen's words must be overturned. Even if two adults sign and agree, the court has full power to overturn the legitimacy of Hausen's succession and conduct in-depth investigations."
"This is indeed a feasible way, but Earl Alan, when his father was attacked, only you and I were there..." Julian's implication was that without a third party, this problem would revolve around the original idea.
"No, it's not just us." Allen reminded: "There was another person present at that time."
Julian was stunned and then said in a daze: "You mean Masen?"
"That's right, Sword Jue Mason was there at that time. He saw Stark with his own eyes, and more importantly, Mason was neither from us nor from Hausen. At least not at present, I know that this would make Your Highness very embarrassed. After all, if there were no Mason, the Emperor would not appear in the Lone Mountain Tundra, and Stark would have no chance to take advantage of it. But now, Mason may be the key figure to reverse the whole situation. Moreover, Your Majesty did not mean to take his life at that time. So, Your Highness, I think it is necessary to find Sword Jue and try to make him stand up and identify Stark." Allen said: "Even if Hausen denied it, the accusations from Sword Jue were enough to shake his current status. Another point is that Stark is not a human being and can be regarded as a foreign race. If this is confirmed again, then Hausen's throne will not be stable, because in the history of the empire, no prime minister was held by a foreign race, right?"
Julian's chest was undulating, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were very complicated. Allen knew that it was not easy to do this. But now Mason was the only one who could turn the situation around. As for whether to do this, it was ultimately up to Julian.
Everyone stopped at the dining table, waiting for Julian to make a decision.
After a while, the prince sighed: "Okay, I can't think of a better way than you, Earl. But, I want to find the sword master.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) It is not easy to be afraid."
"I will notify Grand Duke Chihua that the Bolin family will do their best to find the whereabouts of Jianjue. Please be relieved." Solin made a statement on the spot.
"Then let Duke Elizabeth be bothered." Julian nodded.
After that, they stopped discussing matters related to Hausen. Julian asked the Orlando and his wife for advice on the customs and customs of the southern border. It seemed that he had to stay in the south for a long time, so naturally the better he would integrate into the land soon. Orlando answered sermons, and he spoke humorously, and was the son of Hoy, who soon won Julian's favor. After the banquet, Julian asked Orlando to arrange for living in White Fort, while Allen lived in a house not far from White Fort.
This was originally a property purchased by Christianity. At that time, Orlando asked people related to Allen to withdraw from Ark Port for fear of Allen. Now the relationship is very different. This house, including other industries of Christianity, has returned to Vera's control.
When Allen came to his residence, there were no other outsiders here, everyone opened their mouths and talked freely. Miro vividly described his great achievements to Vera, especially in the cities of Melahan, which made the priest very proud. The young Abel entangled the future heir of Ark Port, Aite, Oban's youngest son. After Yat knew that Allen had accepted Abel as an apprentice, he pestered Alan to teach him sword skills. Alan kicked him to Abel and asked him to teach the little Count some of the most basic postures, which made the young man quite distressed.
In the hall, Vera, who was tired of Miro's bragging, hung the priest aside and came to Alan, who was standing alone in front of the window. Alan looked through the window at the streets in the distance and said, "This city is still as peaceful as ever."
"The Orlando couple is well managed, but unfortunately, peace will end soon." Vera said lightly.
"Yes, the empire is in chaos, and the two princes are fighting for power. Even cities like Ark Port, which are far away on the edge of the southern border, will be involved in this dispute."
"No, it is not just the chaotic situation in the empire that breaks the peaceful scene of this city." Vera said in a tone with a hint of hollowness and distantness: "You have to be prepared, and darkness will soon spread across this land. I foreseeed not long ago that shadows from the West breed and spread on the land of the empire. Wherever they pass, I saw the burning flames and heard the crying of women and children. All this made me feel very uncomfortable."
"Western Shadow?" Allen said in a deep voice: "You mean the Principality of Shadow?"
The shadow principality is located at the end of the earth west of the empire, and Vera's hint is already obvious. The Christian saint nodded: "Just shortly after foreseeing that picture, I also heard the words of the alien coalition from Belmode."
"Speaking of this, why isn't Belmode here?"
"He went to pick up Mr. Hubble, and I heard that Mr. Hubble was going to come back and would bring important information."
Alan slapped his forehead, and before Hubble headed north, he arranged for Edward to penetrate into the shadow principality. Now, the big guy is finally back. He murmured, "Then I have to prepare the spirits, I need a lot of barrels!"
