King

"Prime Minister, with many countries involved, sending troops will definitely not happen overnight. When all parties are ready, the situation in the Falcon Kingdom will be almost clear.

Queen Marisol has a weak foundation and is unable to figure out what happened. Could it be that the three major families of the Falcon Kingdom can't do the same?

As long as the coup was not initiated by them, then the one who initiated the coup was their enemy. With the strength of the three major families, it is impossible for them to be taken over in one go!

Just wait for now. The falconer will definitely send the information later, so we don't need to worry so much. "

The Minister of Military Affairs' explanation made everyone smile.

The Alpha Kingdom was a helper in this incident. It is enough to follow the mainstream and send troops together and fulfill one's own obligations. There is no need to shoulder the responsibility.

When the sky falls in the Falcon Kingdom, the human race and other countries will shoulder the burden together. As long as the monarch does not cause wrath in the country and supports the restoration of orthodoxy, there will never be a shortage of supporters.

Under the double blow of internal and external attacks, no matter which force planned the action, it could not withstand this pressure.

Watching the performances of conservative ministers, Hudson silently chose to wait and see. I have to admit that these guys are really smart and have analyzed all situations. No wonder they have been suppressed during the Caesar III era.

With the cautious energy of these old guys and the power in their hands, it would not be easy to drive them away.

No wonder Caesar IV would choose to lie down. Instead of trying to catch these guys, it would be better to survive them to death.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. While these old guys restricted the royal power, they also suppressed the powerful ministers.

Take Hudson, for example. Since the conservatives came to power, the number of times he speaks has decreased significantly. The sense of presence in the court is being weakened invisibly.

The methods used are all conspiracy, and no one can find fault with them. People who cooperated pulled out all kinds of situations, and the rest were multiple-choice questions.

Hudson was unfazed by the change. He is not a man who wants to gain political power, so he does not need to hang around the court all the time.

Moderately weakening his political influence can also weaken his image as a powerful official, which is actually a good thing for his personal reputation.

"Marshal Hudson, why do you want to see the troops?"

Caesar IV on the side asked.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps coming. Just because Hudson wants to be low-key doesn't mean that others are willing to watch him be low-key.

No matter how peaceful you are as a king, political balance must always be maintained. If the most basic checks and balances are not there, even if the old conservatives are killed, their heirs will still be able to take over.

Now that the emerging aristocracy is weak, the only one that can form a check and balance on the conservative government is the military.

The military has a special composition and structure that includes the entire kingdom's aristocratic group, including these conservatives, so this kind of check and balance is destined to be only a weak check and balance.

No matter how weak the checks and balances are, they are still stronger than none. Under the rules of the game, you are not afraid of weak checks and balances, but you are afraid that no one dares to say anything.

It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice. If it lasts for a long time, the court will really become the hall of conservatives.

Other officials who could not afford to offend conservatives would soon become cannon fodder, and Hudson once again became the best candidate.

"Your Majesty, troops will definitely be sent out. We can agree to the Frank Empire's invitation first.

How to figure it out specifically? It is better to wait and see the reactions of various countries first. Maybe the internal situation of the Falcon Kingdom will be clear by then. "

Hudson's answer was nothing new, but everyone present was very satisfied. When the situation is unclear, adapting to circumstances is the best option.

"Then let's do it!"

Caesar IV said with a smile.

The decision was made smoothly, and it seemed that nothing had changed, but it sent a political signal to the outside world: the king is not empty-handed, and can still make decisions at critical moments!

Even though this kind of decision was almost the same as the government's plan, the plan was proposed by Hudson on behalf of the military, and the final decision-maker was still Caesar IV.

This is a political advantage that belongs exclusively to the monarch!

As long as the ministers have enough political bottom line and do not oppose for the sake of opposition, the king will always be able to find opportunities to increase his presence.

…

Falcon Kingdom.

The sudden coup directly confused many nobles. Queen Marisol's ascension to the throne has indeed broken the traditional inheritance system, but this is the only remaining branch of the Purple Flower Dynasty.

Everyone supported Queen Marisol not only to support orthodoxy, but also to avoid civil war.

The direct line of the royal family is extinct, and the collateral bloodline is a mess. At that time, not only many nobles in the country will have the right to inherit, but there will also be a large number of heirs abroad.

Once this kind of thing breaks out, it cannot be solved with a few words. When it comes to the ownership of a crown, no heir who has the strength to participate in the fight will give up easily.

Facts have proven that there is nothing wrong with this decision. After Queen Marisol succeeded to the throne, the situation in the Falcon Kingdom quickly stabilized, and the domestic economy completed recovery in a short period of time.

The three major families dominate the government, and Queen Marisol maintains the balance of the court. Everything is developing in a good direction, but suddenly there is a coup.

What confuses everyone the most is that many members of the three major families were involved in this coup.

As a person with vested interests, it is completely inconsistent with the mainstream of the times to take his own life and kill his own family members.

"Ancestor, something happened in the capital, we..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately launched a surprise attack on the old man. Unfortunately, he obviously underestimated the old man's defensive mentality. He only heard a sound and was kicked by the old man for more than ten meters, breaking his spine.

"Who are you and why are you pretending to be Carol?"

The old man asked immediately.

Over three hundred years, more than a dozen generations have passed, but they are still his descendants. Now that someone is occupying the magpie's nest, he obviously cannot tolerate it.

"Jiejie..."

After a burst of strange laughter, the seriously injured middle-aged man instantly turned into a group of bats and began to flee.

The strange scene startled the old man. He has seen a lot of bats, but if a living person turns into a swarm of bats, it will be beyond his knowledge tomorrow morning.

The monster in front of him obviously does not exist on the Aslant continent.

Without any hesitation, the old man killed most of the bats in front of him. I originally wanted to search for souls, but found nothing.

"Escaped!"

The old man said unwillingly.

This group of bats was flying too fast. He was stunned by the scene in front of him just now, and his reaction speed was a little slow. As a result, he failed to stop all the bats.

For a strong man in the Holy Domain, it is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing to let the guys under the Holy Domain escape in front of him.

"Something's wrong, there's an ambush!"

After realizing the danger, the old man didn't hesitate at all. He instantly chose to get out of the way.

Almost at the same time, several impacts appeared at the location where he left. There is no doubt that this was an ambush specially prepared for him.

The previous sneak attack failed, and now it is directly changed to a strong attack.

In the blink of an eye, six strong men from the holy realm surrounded and killed him. Perhaps due to the lack of coordination between their bodies and souls, the reactions of these six people were slightly slower.

The battle between the strong is at this moment, with one against six, there is pressure, but he can still do it by seizing the opportunity to escape.

"Oops, if you let this old guy run away, the news will definitely not be kept secret. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the ancestor to explain it!"

The man in green frowned and said.

"This is to be expected. Our strength has not been restored. At most, it is equivalent to entering the holy realm for the first time.

In the case of a failed sneak attack, it is not very realistic to leave a second-level Sanctuary behind.

If a fight really breaks out, that old guy may not be afraid of us. If that guy hadn't run away so cowardly, a few of us would have had to lie down to keep him behind!

The fact that the Falcon Kingdom is isolated overseas does not mean that their strength is really weak. Our previous plan was successful mainly because we caught them off guard.

The main force in the previous coup was actually the Falcons, and our tribe just relied on disguise to take advantage of those human idiots.

In such a large kingdom, there must be many hidden strong men. It is impossible for us to kill them all.

It's only a matter of time before the secret leaks, and it is estimated that similar things will happen elsewhere. On the ancestor's side, just report it according to the facts! "

The purple-robed man at the head said confidently.

Being able to seize the Falcon Kingdom in one fell swoop is no small miracle in itself. Any extravagant hope that the secret will not be leaked is just a dream.

As a powerful maritime trade country, the Falcon Kingdom is not a closed place. Not contacting the outside world for a long time will definitely attract the attention of the Human Alliance.

What's more, there is Queen Marisol who is in exile. It is estimated that she is busy asking for help from everywhere at this time. It is only a matter of time before the mainland countries intervene.

If you don't want to face the pressure of the human race alone, then you can only help the various races that invade the mainland together and jump out in time to cause trouble to share their pressure.

…

The old man from the Sanctuary who escaped the disaster did not rush to leave the Falcon Kingdom. Instead, he hid his identity and secretly investigated.

The enemy who tried to ambush him certainly couldn't have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. In his memory, there is no information about these mysterious monsters, let alone enemies.

No one would provoke a strong enemy in the Holy Domain without any reason. The enemy must have chosen to attack him because they thought he was blocking the way.

After changing his identity and sneaking into the capital, the old man was shocked. He had only been in seclusion once, and the kingdom had changed its master.

Among the officials in charge of power, he also found that many people's souls and bodies were not compatible, and they looked like they were parasitized.

Seeing this scene, he instantly understood why the coup was successful. The person in charge of the kingdom was replaced by Li Daitao, which was completely logical.

However, this method of backdoor listing also has shortcomings. People can disguise themselves by occupying their bodies, but sudden changes in daily living habits and political ideas will definitely arouse the vigilance of those around them.

The turmoil in the court at this time was basically caused by this. Once you know something you shouldn't know, you will be killed in an instant. There are no such rules as in the struggle of nobles.

"Lord Viscount, these bloody roses are the blood of carefully selected girls. There is absolutely no trace of pollution. Please enjoy!"

The newly promoted Butler John flattered his master.

In just one month, the Viscount Mansion had three housekeepers, and the first three died miserably, with all the blood drained from their bodies.

It was claimed to be an accident, but accidents don't happen so often. If a vampire beast really sneaked into the city and went to the viscount's mansion to cause trouble, I'm afraid my master would have asked the city guards to intervene.

Combined with his master's special request, the shrewd John was frightened to death. For the sake of his own life, he decisively chose to satisfy everything.

Drinking the blood of living people usually happens in cults. But occasionally there will still be a few nobles who can't help but try it.

On the surface, everyone despises this. The Human Alliance has even issued a ban, and the laws of various countries have also listed this behavior as a key target. But secretly, this kind of evil behavior is forbidden repeatedly.

In order to satisfy their special hobbies, some nobles even secretly raised blood slaves to provide themselves with fresh blood.

"Well done, John!

It seems that I have chosen the right person to promote you to the position of housekeeper. Keep up the good work and your future will be indispensable. "

If he had been praised by his master a month ago, John would have been extremely excited.

The situation was different now. In his mind, the kind-hearted Viscount in front of him was a demon who could bite people at any time.

You must know that the profession of housekeeper has always been held by the most loyal people. Basically, only those whose ancestors have been serving for several generations, are loyal and capable, are qualified to hold such a position.

However, three loyal butlers died just because of admonishing their master, which directly extinguished all John's loyalty. Now he just wants to live.

"Master, these are all my duties. If there is nothing else to say, I won't disturb your meal!"

As he spoke, John bent even lower. I'm afraid that my little thoughts will be exposed accidentally and my life will be lost.

"Go!"

Viscount Hank waved his hand and said.

After finally coming out of that hellish place in the Kingdom of God, it was time to enjoy life, so he was not in the mood to wonder what the people under his command were thinking.

Be honest and obedient, then keep it and continue to use it. Otherwise, just treat yourself to extra food.

His racial nature was stimulated from the moment he occupied the Falcon Kingdom. If it weren't for the order from the ancestors above, we must operate in the local area for a long time and cannot act recklessly, otherwise...

He slowly exited the door. After taking a few steps, John felt his body light up. When he realized what he was doing, he was already outside the Viscount's mansion.

"Tell me, when did your Viscount's personality change drastically?"

Butler John, who was startled when he heard the question, said in shock: "About a month ago, there were no major changes in the capital.

Ever since he returned from exploring the Kingdom of God last time, the Viscount's temper has become explosive and bloodthirsty, and he will kill people if he doesn't go his way.

In the past month, three housekeepers in the mansion have suffered misfortune, and I am the first one who just took office..."
