King

While the major forces were busy rebuilding after the disaster, news about the Godhead quickly spread throughout the continent.

There is no way to verify the authenticity of the news in a short time. But for a group of old antiques, this is a life-saving straw, and they have to try it whether it is true or false.

All of a sudden, various Kingdom of God exploration teams appeared one after another. Private battles surrounding the godhead are endless.

Including within the Alpha Kingdom, several Kingdom of God exploration teams have joined the fight. As the most powerful person in the kingdom, Hudson was excluded this time.

According to the saying that one can become a god by fusing their godheads, the number of godheads left by the gods must be very limited. It is very likely that in a divine kingdom, there is only one chance to become a god.

In this context, former friends can become competitors. Once the godhead appears, everyone involved in the treasure hunt may become competitors.

"Duke, the rumors of godhood are getting more and more intense, and all the major forces have joined the fight. The nearest kingdom of God is only more than two thousand miles away from us. Do you want to send someone there..."

Before Jose could finish what he said, Hudson interrupted: "I'm not sure whether the godhead exists, so let them fight for it first.

Gods are not as invincible as you think. Even if someone is lucky enough to become a god through divine power, they are just the clowns who popped up first.

If the godhead was really as good as the rumors say, the Dragon Clan and the Elf Clan would have already fully participated in the fight for it, and the news would not be spread in its turn.

Just wait, there will definitely be a continuation of the story! "

If there is no way to identify authenticity, then there is no need to verify it. Anyway, just stare at the two ancient races and see their reactions.

The two ancient races that knew the most about gods did not compete for the godhead, which proved how false the rumors were.

Hudson is not the only smart person like this. Most of the powerful people chose to wait and see for the time being, and those who actually participated in the action were mostly the dignitaries under the sanctuary.

Each and every one of them fantasized about merging with the godhead and reaching the sky in one step. They did not notice that the wave of peak experts with the strongest strength and the most extensive information did not participate in the competition.

After being vetoed by Hudson, the topic of competing for the godhood quickly disappeared from the territory.

In the era of the fall of the gods, the gods are no longer supreme. It is good to become a subject of the gods, but the noble masters of my own family are not interested, so the younger brother will naturally not force it.

…

Time passed day by day, and more than half a year passed in a flash. There are more and more teams invading the Kingdom of God, but only one out of ten can make it out alive.

No one knows exactly what the Godhead looks like. Anyway, the danger of the Kingdom of God has been recognized by the entire continent.

All the major forces involved suffered heavy losses. Calculating the cumulative losses of all parties, the number of Saint Domain experts lost in the Kingdom of God exceeded double digits, and the number of seventh- and eighth-level experts who died was as many as hundreds.

Hudson had no feeling for these cold numbers. Although the total amount of losses is huge, when spread out, it is not so conspicuous.

If he insisted on caring, he would only notice that the Orc Empire had lost one Sanctuary and a dozen eighth-level experts.

It was obvious that the kingdom's sworn enemy had not lived in vain in recent years.

The orc race, which has completed its own inheritance, has given birth to many strong men at this time. They are no longer the weaklings who lack high-end power and can only be beaten passively.

If the kingdom wants to destroy the orc empire, these new orc sanctuaries will be a big trouble.

"Marshal, there is a military coup in the Falcon Kingdom. Your Majesty invites you to go to the royal capital to discuss matters!"

The unexpected news directly confused Hudson.

There has been a coup in the Falcon Kingdom a few years ago. After the civil war, the domestic power has returned to balance. In recent years, the development speed has been unprecedented.

Under normal circumstances, a military coup should not occur in a country that is developing rapidly. Even if there are internal conflicts, they will be covered up by the dividends brought by development.

The fall of the Kingdom of God did have a great impact on the Falcon Kingdom, but it was a natural disaster that could not be resisted by human beings.

In the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction, the Falcon Kingdom government did a good job and did not cause any major trouble.

Based on the information in hand, Hudson really couldn't think of a reason for the coup in Falcon Kingdom. Without a turbulent social background, only careerists can cause trouble.

“Who initiated the coup?”

Hudson asked concerned.

If the king can convene an emergency meeting, the coup in the Falcon Kingdom must have been successful, and the initiator of the coup has most likely done another appalling thing.

The last coup killed a king. If another one is killed in this coup, the entire world of monarchs will probably be furious.

"have no idea!

Marshal, this news did not come from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The rebels have taken control of the Falcon Capital, and we have completely lost contact with the embassies abroad.

If Queen Marisol hadn't escaped from the royal capital and asked for help from the kingdom, we wouldn't even know something was wrong in the Falcon Kingdom! "

After hearing the envoy's explanation, Hudson became even more speechless. They have all been driven out of the royal capital, and it is still unknown who initiated the coup. There is no one else who can be regarded as the queen.

Even if she complained in her heart, Hudson still understood Queen Marisol. It would be good for the king who was ignored by others to be able to maintain his position. It is a luxury to hope to control the kingdom.

My current performance is quite good, I can run away in advance when I sense danger. As long as a person is alive, there is hope. Maintaining the royal power is the common interest of the monarchy group. Queen Marisol is willing to lower her face and ask for help. Governments of various countries cannot just sit idly by.

…

It was not just the Alpha Kingdom that received the news asking for help. Due to the distance, the governments of various countries in the Southern Continent received the news earlier.

In the Royal Palace of Lutetia, Charles III was looking at the information in his hands at a loss. Being the most powerful country in the human race is both an honor and a responsibility.

The major human countries have received requests for help from Queen Marisol, but the Frankish Empire has welcomed this queen who took political asylum.

Acceptance is a must. This is a tacit understanding between the monarchs of various countries.

There is no doubt that Queen Marisol chose to go to the Frankish Empire not just for political asylum, but also to seek political and military support.

The same problem would not be a big deal in any human country, but it would be a hot potato in the Frankish Empire.

Originally, the Frankish Empire was a product of force. It was the first major monarchical event after becoming an empire. If it could not be handled well, it would be a lot of fun.

The prestige of the empire plummeted, which was intolerable to both the emperor Charles III and the princes and nobles in the court.

"Have you found out what happened in the Falcon Kingdom?"

Charles III asked urgently.

Although the Falcon Kingdom has a low presence, as a neighbor, it is still one of the focuses of the Frank Empire. It would be a dereliction of duty not to find out the inside story of the coup in a neighboring country as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, all communication between us and the Falcon Kingdom has been cut off. The strong men sent out to investigate the situation have not returned yet, so..."

Before the Foreign Minister finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn. Being able to block the news means that the other party is prepared.

At one time, they all suspected that the three major families in the Falcon Kingdom had joined forces to seize power.

It is a pity that the power of the Falcon Kingdom is originally controlled by the three major families. Queen Marisol is only playing political balance between the three families. As a vested interest, the three major families cannot upset the table.

Apart from these three families, the remaining nobles have limited power. Initiating a coup is difficult enough, but it is almost impossible to block the news immediately.

"waste!

Everything is trash!

Only separated by a sea, such a big change happened in the Falcon Kingdom, and you don't even know who did it. You are simply stupid!

…”

Charles III's swearing made the Marquis Jesus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, very aggrieved. They don't know the news because they are incompetent, so what are the exiled Queen Marisol and her party?

It’s funny to think about being kicked out of my home and living in exile all the way, but I still don’t know who did it.

The parties involved were not clear about the situation, and it was completely understandable that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was collecting intelligence part-time, did not know the inside story.

"Your Majesty, there have been too many changes in various parts of the mainland recently, and it is understandable that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot handle them all.

After a few days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will surely be able to figure out which force is responsible. It won't be too late to make specific arrangements by then. "

Prime Minister Duke Bergson spoke to persuade.

I really can't afford it.

Because of the rumors of the godhead, many forces within the Frank Empire formed a team to explore the Kingdom of God, but they never returned.

You must swallow the bitter fruit you have worked for yourself. The resulting series of chain reactions require the empire to digest.

The troubles in our own family are not small, and now we have to passively take over the trouble of the Falcon Kingdom. It is worrying to think about it. If possible, the Prime Minister, Duke Bergson, really wanted to throw this hot potato away.

If there was an opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of the Falcon Kingdom at another time, everyone would have rushed to do it, but it was a pity that the time was wrong now.

"snort!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately notified all countries and invited everyone to form a United Nations army to jointly help Queen Marisol restore her country.

If this matter is not done well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will simply close its doors! "

Charles III's words shocked the Foreign Minister. These were the harshest words his emperor had ever spoken since he ascended the throne. It was clear that his anger was on the verge of exploding.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely coordinate this matter!"

Marquis Jesus immediately assured.

This seemingly simple job is actually not that easy to do.

Theoretically speaking, all human countries have the same position on the issue of supporting Queen Marisol's restoration.

When it comes to specific operations, governments of various countries have their own calculations. Support is definitely necessary. This is politically correct. To what extent we support it and what method we use to support it, we need to carefully consider it.

The Frankish Empire does not want to deal with this trouble alone and is preparing to drag other human countries into trouble, but the governments of various countries are not fools. If there are not enough benefits, why should people cooperate?

Anyway, the hot potato is in the hands of the Frank Empire. Everyone can build momentum on one side and use the pressure of public opinion to force them to assume more military obligations.

…

Emerald Palace.

When Hudson arrived at the palace, the Frankish Empire's minister to the kingdom had just come out of the palace, and the two sides exchanged a few words briefly.

After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Hudson immediately put away his inner contempt. A force that appeared out of nowhere launched a coup in the Falcon Kingdom and succeeded. This was undoubtedly something that went against common sense.

If the success of the coup was so simple, I am afraid that the king's flag would have changed long ago, and the current political situation would not be stable.

Under the feudal system, except for rebellion by cult organizations, there were no large-scale peasant uprisings in the Aslant continent. All political forces were part of the aristocratic group.

Even if something unexpected happens, it is usually an accident in a certain territory or several territories. It is rare to directly target the king. Coup d'état has always been the exclusive preserve of nobles.

With full of doubts, Hudson walked into the hall. At this time, the ministers were already waiting in the hall, saying hello to everyone, and Caesar IV also appeared in the hall.

This order of appearances has continued in the Alpha Kingdom for several years. Originally, it was because during the war, Hudson needed to rush back to command the battle, so he could only let others coordinate the time and wait. Later, it gradually evolved into a routine.

The only difference is that during the war, Caesar IV was waiting in the hall together, and now the king appears last.

"Changes occurred in the Falcon Kingdom, and Queen Marisol asked for help from various countries. The Frank Minister also came here just now. They hope that the kingdom can send 30,000 troops to help Queen Marisol restore her kingdom.

If you have any ideas, please tell me directly! "

Caesar IV said uninterestedly.

The royal power of the conservatives in power has been restricted. There are not many places where he is needed in normal times, and the role of the king is becoming more and more boring.

Of course, every bad side has a good side. There are not so many messy things to worry about, and Caesar IV's health is getting better and better when he is free.

As time went by, he gradually got used to this state. If political struggle is no match for these old guys, then we should simply change the method and directly fight these old guys to death.

As a monarch, you don’t strive for temporary success.

After seeing it, everything became better. If you encounter trouble, just push it directly to the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the kingdom's financial resources are limited. To send 30,000 troops for an expedition will require a lot of money. After the war, the Falcon Kingdom may not be able to afford this expense."

Finance Minister Marquis Zuel was the first to object.

The Falcon Kingdom will definitely be able to afford the cost of just 30,000 troops. The problem is that this military operation will definitely be a joint multi-national operation, and the total force gathered by then will definitely not be small.

Many armies have gathered, and in the process of helping Queen Marisol to restore her kingdom, they will inevitably make a war fortune. The Falcon Kingdom will definitely be severely harmed.

These are old traditions and cannot be stopped by the Alpha Kingdom. However, once the Royal Government sends troops, the expenses will have to be borne by the Government.

Even if you want to rely on robbery to make up for the shortfall in military expenditures, once the royal government takes money from this kind of "just faith" military operation, it will never be able to get rid of its name as a robber.

As a big country, Alpha Kingdom also has a reputation.

"Marquis, the issue of military expenditures is settled. Queen Marisol wants to invite the Frank Empire to take the lead. All countries will send troops, and it is not convenient for the kingdom to shirk.

In history, when the Orc Empire invaded the kingdom, the Falcon Kingdom also sent troops to support it, and even more often it provided money, food and materials. We can't turn our backs and deny people, right? "

Military Minister Richard responded with a smile.

Compared with refusing to send troops, the kingdom's reasons for sending troops are too good. The most difficult thing to repay is the debt of favor. In the era of monarchs, this debt was always recorded on the king's head.

Judging from the current situation, Queen Marisol is the last generation of the Purple Flower Dynasty. If the favor is not repaid, it will be even harder to repay it in the future.

Rushing to return favors is not in line with human nature, but it is the code of conduct of contemporary nobles, and no one can object to it.

"Both of you, please sit down first. Compared to the issue of sending troops, what actually deserves more vigilance is the coup that occurred in the Falcon Kingdom.

It is basically certain that this coup was not carried out by the three major families.

Don't you think it's suspicious that forces emerged from the cracks in the rocks to launch this military coup? "

Prime Minister Beckett said worriedly.

This issue is also a concern for Hudson. When had such a powerful force been hidden on the mainland?

In his memory, even all the cult organizations on the road together were unable to subvert a regime so quietly.

If Queen Marisol hadn't been lucky and happened to be on vacation when the coup occurred, I am afraid that no one would have known about the coup in the Falcon Kingdom so quickly.
