"How's it going? Brother Seventh, is this a great show?" When the third prince successfully entered the kingdom's meeting hall, Lin Yi was squatting on the roof of the kingdom's meeting hall with the seventh prince to watch the show.
These two guys were so bold that they used their long swords to poke a big hole in the roof of the Kingdom Council Hall.
"Hey, kid, Seventh Brother really didn't hurt you in vain before." The Seventh Prince looked pleased and patted Lin Yi's shoulder gently.
Lin Yi took out the pendant that the old king had given him. Not long after Lin Yi left the kingdom's meeting hall, the pendant opened on its own.
Among the pendants, there was only a piece of paper with one sentence neatly written on it: Take Lao Qi away.
This is why Lin Yi and the seventh prince are squatting on the roof of the kingdom's meeting hall at the moment.
Under Lin Yi's notification, the Seventh Prince secretly followed Lin Yi here and waited quietly.
Although the surrounding guards are tightly guarded, like an iron wall, who is the seventh prince? He is the strongest holy warrior in the kingdom.
As long as the seventh prince is willing, the guards around him won't even be able to touch a hair on his head.
Among the several brothers and sisters, the seventh prince has been running outside the palace since he was a child.
After so many years, he knew every plant and tree in the palace like the back of his hand. No one knew the specific time of patrols and shifts in the palace better than him.
In the meeting hall, the old king's eyes slowly swept over everyone.
The current situation is already very obvious. The third prince secretly united with the Iron Hand, Archon Joe Valentine and others.
As for the commander of the kingdom's army, Heslett, he originally supported the third prince. Unfortunately, Heslett had already gone to the border to perform his mission.
The third prince was originally one of the two most promising candidates to become the new king. However, the assassination of the little princess caused his advantage to completely disappear in an instant.
The third prince was full of reluctance. He originally had great prospects, but he was in trouble because of this unexpected incident.
In fact, the third prince has a large number of troops in his hands.
If he wants to rebel, no one can stop him.
But the third prince did not choose this path, or in other words, he was always trying to maintain the stability of the royal capital.
No matter how disadvantaged he was in the struggle for power, he would never mobilize the troops guarding the Wall of God.
In his mind, there is a clear distinction between importance and importance. He can accept failure to seize power, but the Wall of God must be defended.
Originally, the third prince had no hope of ascending to the throne. Who would have thought that Rowan Harvey would turn traitor.
After learning this amazing news, the third prince was surprised and happy at the same time.
Rowan Harvey's treasonous act nearly destroyed the eldest prince's advantage.
Rowan Harvey was responsible for managing the finances, and the eldest prince also held certain financial powers, so there must be an unclear relationship between the two.
When he learned of Rowan Harvey's treason, the eldest prince was so frightened that he almost peed.
He knew very well that Rowan Harvey was traitorous to the country, and he would definitely not reap the consequences.
The kingdom's finances are a closely connected whole, not separate parts.
Therefore, the eldest prince hurriedly stood up to show his loyalty, claiming to withdraw from the power struggle and devote himself to stabilizing the kingdom's finances.
It seems to be righteous, but in fact, he is desperately trying to save his own life.
The old king was not surprised when the eldest prince stepped forward.
Because the old king was very aware of the eldest prince's character, his cautious, elegant, but hypocrite character, which was actually very similar to the old king when he was young.
Because of this, the old king has always been very fond of the eldest prince.
But the third prince also stood up, which surprised the old king.
In the view of the old king, the eldest prince was forced to withdraw, and the third prince was undoubtedly the most favorable candidate.
The third prince dared to jump to the throne so boldly, and one person's help was indispensable, and that person was Joe Valentine.
This henpecked guy was kneeling in front of the old king just now, begging with tears and snot in his nose, but now he stood firmly behind the third prince.
The gift of acquaintance? No kidding.
The old king was determined to kill Joe Valentine. In this case, how could Joe Valentine care about the kindness of knowing him? The royal power is ruthless. Under the royal power, how many of the ministers will be affectionate and righteous.
They are just struggling in the whirlpool of power, constantly changing positions for their own interests.
From other parts of the royal capital, intensive stabbing sounds could be heard. Several assassins dressed in black and holding daggers were stabbing a middle-aged man wildly. The middle-aged man's body twitched and his expensive clothes were stained with blood. .
The fourth princess walked out of the darkness with a black folding fan in her hand. She opened the small folding fan and covered her mouth and nose.
"Anyone who opposes Mathil will die. Who allows him to get the support of so many people?"
The fourth princess snorted coldly. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she understood the situation clearly, so she survived.
Similar things are happening in many places in the capital.
However, the army surrounding the seventh prince discovered that the seventh prince was missing. This made the soldiers under the third prince panic.
If the seventh prince really reacted and successfully summoned a large number of holy warriors to enter the royal city, then all the efforts of the third prince before would be in vain, and he could take a complete rest.
As for whether the seventh prince can govern the country, that is not the point at all.
In the Kingdom of Saint Sodin, there is no shortage of financial and political talents. Years of war have already allowed this kingdom to form a self-consistent political system.
In this system, everyone is just a small screw, each playing a specific role to maintain the operation of the kingdom.
Even if the Seventh Prince is not good at running the country, there are many professionals who can fill this vacancy and ensure that all affairs of the kingdom proceed smoothly.
The old king was good at political means. With his superb political strategies and conspiracies, he could firmly suppress the people under his command.
The only problem is that he needs the position of Iron Hand to assist him to ensure the stability of his power.
The Iron Hand is like a sharp blade in the hand of the old king, able to remove obstacles for him at critical moments and maintain the order of rule.
If the seventh prince takes the throne, the situation will be very different.
He does not need a position like the Iron Hand. On the contrary, he needs to establish a cabinet to help him advise on state affairs.
The Seventh Prince has an extremely strong force value, which directly rules out the possibility of assassination by the Necrons.
In addition, the holy warriors will become more committed to the empire.
Therefore, no matter who takes the throne, the seventh prince or the third prince, will have their own pros and cons.
The third prince has the potential of a tyrant. He is iron-blooded, ruthless, decisive and thoughtful, and may have an advantage in political struggles.
Although the Seventh Prince is unruly, he has superior martial arts and can bring a strong sense of security to the kingdom.
In the palace meeting hall, the third prince stepped up the stone stairs step by step, and he was getting closer and closer to the throne.
"It seems that among all my children, you are more similar to me." The old king sat on the throne and looked at the third prince with a smile.
The third prince's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
He felt that something was wrong with this old lion, very wrong.
"It took you five years to infiltrate the Guards. It was too slow. It only took me two years." The old king's words were calm and indifferent, but they hit the third prince's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Ha~?" Upon hearing the old king's words, the third prince, who had always been domineering and arrogant, was obviously stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He never expected that the old king would know his every move.
"Your eldest brother is very good, but he is indeed a bit narrow-minded. Just kill him. As for your fourth sister, she may be your helper, but don't forget that she is not the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat. Also Your seventh brother, who was granted the title of Kingdom Wings, is looking for death. I have actually wanted to get rid of him for a long time." The old king narrated in a calm tone, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
The third prince could no longer calm down. He subconsciously took a step back, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. At this moment, he felt firsthand the terror of the old king.
If he were to fight for power with this old lion, he wouldn't even know how he might die, and he would definitely be played to the point of doubting his life.
The seventh prince above his head also sighed deeply after hearing the old king's words.
To be honest, he doesn't want this Kingdom Wings either, but the problem is that the situation is not up to anyone.
Just like wearing a yellow robe, sometimes things cannot be decided by one's own will.
If the seventh prince is not given this title, then the holy warriors in the entire kingdom will be alienated from him.
The Holy Warrior is the foundation of the Seventh Prince, so he will naturally not do anything that would destroy his foundation.
"I'm very pleased that you didn't touch the troops on the front line. As for what deal you made with the Iron Hand, I'm not very interested, but don't forget that once he is unhappy, your head may fall on the ground." The king looked indifferent and waved his hand gently, indicating that the third prince should continue to step forward.
The third prince stood there as if turned to stone, motionless.
The third prince, who was originally domineering and majestic, was reduced to nothing by the old king's simple words, as if all his energy and energy had been sucked away in an instant.
"Iron Hand, I can see through them, but I can't see through you. Although I don't know what your purpose is, as long as it's not kingship, that's fine.
No matter what your purpose is, you first helped me get rid of unstable factors, and then solved the undead assassination incident. During the struggle for power, you helped me do many things, some honorable and some disgraceful. Since you think of Under the Throne, Then go ahead, it's a place of no return. "
The old king looked at Joe Valentine, who subconsciously shrank his neck. The old king now looked like an old lion with an evil beast standing beside him.
God knows if the old lion and the evil beast have reached any deal. He, Joe Valentine, is at best a watchdog. Even if the lion is dying, he does not dare to provoke it.
As if there was some kind of induction in the dark, the old king curled up on his chair and couldn't help but raise his head and look straight at the ceiling.
And at this moment, the old king's eyes met Lin Yi's, and they met each other.
Next to Lin Yi, the seventh prince scratched his head in embarrassment, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was caught red-handed.
When the old king saw this scene, his already somewhat gratified heart was filled with joy, and he laughed directly in the kingdom's meeting hall.
The old king's laughter echoed in the meeting hall, and the third prince, Su Xiao and Qiao Valentine couldn't help but take a step back.
The weapons in the hands of the surrounding guards could not help but tremble, as if they were not surrounding a rotten old man at this moment, but an undead monarch exuding a terrifying aura.
After a long while, the old king finally stopped laughing.
"Bring me a pen." Although the old king's voice was slightly older, it still carried unquestionable majesty.
Joe Valentine hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not dare to disobey. He took a pen and paper from the side hall and presented it to the old king respectfully.
The old king held the parchment and wrote a few lines on it.
After finishing writing, the old king held the parchment tightly and slowly turned his eyes to Su Xiao.
"Iron Hand, are you sure you want to go under the throne?"
"certainly."
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you." The old king nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Su Xiao's answer.
Just when everyone thought that things would develop according to a certain predetermined trajectory, Su Xiao suddenly stepped forward and pinched the old king's neck.
"Iron Hand, what are you doing!" Seeing Su Xiao pinching the old king's neck, the third prince roared and turned pale with shock.
His face was full of shock, he did not expect that Lidya Su would make such a bold move.
Su Xiao and the old king looked at the third prince at the same time, which made the third prince's cheek twitch and a strong fear surged in his heart.
The third prince already understood that compared to other contenders for kingship, these two people were much more terrifying.
One seems to have seen through everything and is unfathomable; the other is ruthless and ruthless who dares not kill anyone.
"It seems that your heir is not ruthless enough." Su Xiao's voice was cold, as if he was evaluating an insignificant item.
"The throne will make him more ruthless and sharper. Killing is what you are best at." There was no fear on the old king's face, but a strange calmness.
"no problem."
With a crisp "click" sound, Su Xiao broke the old king's neck under the stunned expression of the third prince.
The third prince didn't want to kill the old king, but he didn't dare to kill him. This old lion was too scary.
He was well aware of the old king's methods and scheming, and if he took action himself, he would surely fall into a situation of eternal disaster.
At this moment, the sound of breaking tiles suddenly came from above everyone's heads, and the next second, two figures fell from the sky and fell into the crowd.
"Seventh brother?" After the third prince, who was still immersed in the news of the old king's death, saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
You know, in order to deal with the old king this time, he only brought a hundred guards.
To the Seventh Prince, two hundred people were not a threat at all.
"Oh, my dear third brother, I didn't expect that I would be the one to fight with you in the end." A slightly teasing smile appeared on the seventh prince's face, and a long sword with wings appeared out of thin air in his hand.
This long sword was a treasure given to the seventh prince by the old king when he was awarded the position of Kingdom Wings.
The seventh prince always wore this sword with him and rarely used it to kill people.
It was not until today, at this critical moment, that he finally pulled out the sword.
Because the two of them smashed the ceiling, the bright moonlight fell on them like water.
A ray of soft moonlight was reflected by the sword blade in the seventh prince's hand, and instantly illuminated the third prince's eyes.
The third prince couldn't help but take a step back, with a look of horror on his face.
Although the third prince is in charge of the military and his own military power is not weak, compared with the seventh prince, a powerful holy warrior, he is not even a bit inferior.
The Seventh Prince's force value is matched by the Necromancer, the ceiling of this world's combat power.

A very simple and unpretentious panel. All the skills of the Seventh Prince are related to swords. The Seventh Prince is also known as the most powerful person in the kingdom. This attribute is really powerful.
Not to mention anything else, the swordsmanship master level 11 alone is enough to fully prove the strength of the seventh prince.
Upon seeing this, the third prince hurriedly ordered the surrounding guards to surround and kill him.
But it is a pity that the seventh prince grew up under the strict training of the Guards. No one knows the weaknesses of the Guards better than him.
In this way, the seventh prince cut a bloody path with one sword and one person, and came to the front of the third prince. (End of chapter)
