Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
After the bloody battle in the royal capital and the rebellion in the outer city.
The situation in the royal capital is all according to Fang Yuan's plan.
Entering into stable development.
After the noble council, the sixth prince successfully became the heir to the throne.
Received support from all honorary lords of the royal capital.
At the same time in the Council of Nobles.
The Ninth Prince was found guilty of having an affair with the evil god.
Sentenced to death.
The place of execution was the arena where bloody battles had taken place.
The day when the Ninth Prince was executed.
It is also the last day of the royal capital's martial arts competition.
As the situation calms down.
All the nobles attended the event.
This time, the sixth prince finally stood by the king's side.
Presiding over the closing ceremony of the martial arts competition.
The participating nobles looked at the sixth prince in battle armor.
There was excitement in his eyes.
This is the new king of Alpha Kingdom.
"I heard that the Bunuo family gave a daughter to the sixth prince a few days ago. It was really quick to do it."
"Hahaha, this daughter was originally going to marry the eldest prince."
"In other words, the Buno family has also given up supporting the eldest prince and completely favored the sixth prince."
"Old Buono is just an old fox who adapts to the changing circumstances. Before, he just wanted to raise the price, but the sixth prince refused. It was only at the last moment that he made this decision."
"As expected of the royal capital's roly-poly family."
"Who gave the Buono family more daughters!"
"And they are all top beauties."
"Hey, little Peter, your Louise is also a top beauty. She was a social butterfly in the capital before."
"Why, you're not moved?"
"James, you bastard, I'm not that beastly!"
"Hahaha, James, you are really ill-informed. On the first day after the noble meeting, Peter, a beast, sent his wife to the bed of the sixth prince."
"Now Louis has long been in the shape of the sixth prince."
"Hey, Pete, you said you weren't a beast."
The sound of teasing echoed among the stands.
The nobleman named Peter was a viscount.
Hearing the teasing from the people around him, he smiled mischievously.
Didn't refute at all.
It's all true after all.
In the royal capital, the name of Viscount Peter is not for nothing.
certainly!
This is also because the nobles around him are more powerful than Peter.
If civilians dare to call it that.
Pete would let them know what the second meaning of beast was.
After the hilarious laughter.
The voice of the Sixth Prince came from the competition arena.
At this moment, both the nobles and the common people stopped making noise.
In the royal capital.
No!
Even in the history of the kingdom, this is unique.
And all this shows that the current sixth prince has won the hearts of the people in the capital.
He has a unique reputation among the nobles and commoners of the royal capital.
The reason why it has such a great reputation.
That's because the Sixth Prince made a promise to everyone at the Noble Council.
As soon as he takes the throne, a thorough reform will be carried out.
Bridge the inequality between feudal nobles and honorary nobles.
He will let all nobles obtain territories.
By then there will no longer be distinctions between feudal nobles and honorary nobles.
The nobles in the royal capital were all waiting for that moment.
I am also looking forward to what solution the Sixth Prince will bring.
It is in this expectation.
The Sixth Prince's reputation was pushed to its peak.
"The decisive battle of the tournament begins!"
As the sixth prince replaced the king, he announced the beginning of the final battle.
Both ends of the tourney.
The knight in heavy armor slowly walked into the arena.
These two people are both from the outer city.
Although they don't have titles now.
But he is the strongest knight among the newly formed guards in the outer city.
Amidst the rebellion in the outer city.
A guard organized by wandering knights.
It has become a ballast stone to maintain stability.
After the Council of Nobles.
This escort was recognized by the king.
And replaced the original city guards.
It became the strongest military force in the outer city.
The number of people has also expanded to 30,000.
This legion also mobilized many private soldiers from noble families in the inner city.
Directly commanded by the Sixth Prince.
The number of magic crystal warriors alone is five thousand.
Its huge nobles are no less than the royal guards of the royal capital.
It is precisely this military force.
Only the Sixth Prince could firmly suppress the Imperial Guards who had been infiltrated by the nobles.
After half a month of negotiations, he finally won the support of all the honorary nobles.
And as a reward for the escort.
The knights of the royal capital who put down the rebellion in the outer city all received knighthoods.
The knights and squires who followed all obtained officer positions in the Guards.
At the same time, the final showdown of the tourney.
It was completed by the two commanders of the escort army.
Their duel was just a show.
A gift for the sixth prince who is about to become king.
After the knight nodded.
The two knights turned around.
At the same time, exciting music sounded.
Accompanied by the sound of drum beats.
Under the evening sun.
Two knights wearing golden armor completed their duel in the dusk.
A lance made of applewood.
He stabbed the opponent's shield accurately.
The two horses passed each other.
A huge banner was pulled out.
"A gift for the noble sixth prince to become the crown prince!!!"
In an instant.
There was a huge cheer in the arena.
after cheers.
The Sixth Prince announced the reward for the winner of the contest.
but!
This is not the most climactic scene of the tournament.
When the six princes won the battle, the victorious champion was given a title and land.
In the venue, everyone's eyes were fixed on an exit.
There!
A huge guillotine was rolled out.
There was a "click" sound.
The guillotine was firmly fixed in the middle of the arena.
Immediately afterwards.
The final big show.
The execution ceremony of the Ninth Prince begins.
As the strongest prince in the battle for the throne.
At this time, he was suppressed by the iron guards and appeared in the competition field.
When the Ninth Prince came out, there was silence in the martial arts competition venue.
Everyone looked at the once aloof prince.
He was escorted to the guillotine by the Iron Guards.
Then the commander of the Iron Guard.
The legendary sword master who was originally the trump card of the Ninth Prince appears.
Personally verified identity.
The resolutions of the Council of Nobles and the King's judgment were read out.
The venue was too big and no one could hear everything clearly.
But the last two words.
"Death!"
But he heard it clearly.
Then the sixth prince threw out the edict belonging to the king.
The guillotine slowly rises.
The Ninth Prince's head pressed in.
"Cut!"
An excited voice sounded.
The guillotine knife fell.
"Click~"
Ninth Prince!
This prince who was once the king of the capital is about to become the king.
The head was cut off with a "pounce".
The fallen head rolled around a few times and was covered with dust on the ground.
The rolling road surface left a long trail of blood.
And the Ninth Prince died.
It also means that no one can challenge the status of the Sixth Prince.
moment.
Even louder cheers rang out.
The venue for the martial arts tournament was filled with cheers from the Six Princes.
And in the corner.
The other prince, the seventh prince, was trembling with fear.
He is also the prince who colludes with the evil god.
It's just lucky that Fang Yuan didn't send him to the guillotine.
The Seventh Prince still has some uses.
But here I see the moment when the Ninth Prince was beheaded.
The seventh prince felt a chill on his back.
A thought couldn't help but arise in my mind.
"Should I run away now?"
But he quickly shook his head.
"No, we can't leave."
"The sixth child will not win!"
"The Rainbow Duke is the winner."
"Hmph!"
"Lao Liu, wait for two days. Once the Rainbow Duke's army arrives, it will be your death!!!"
And right here at the competition ground, the nobles of the royal capital were cheering for the sixth prince.
Inside the Castle of Thorns.
Fang Yuan was looking through the information brought by Heidi.
"Your Excellency."
"The population of Alpha Capital is 1.2 million."
"It is the most populous city in the Kingdom of Alpha."
"Including inner city, outer city and suburban manor."
"The population in the city is around 500,000."
"Most of them are civilians from the outer city."
"The number of nobles in the inner city is not very large."
After the noble council, Fang Yuan asked Heidi to collect this information.
The purpose is also very simple.
During the general mobilization, Fang Yuan must have a clear figure of the troops that can be mobilized.
"So now in the royal capital, the total military strength of the Iron Guard, Imperial Guard, and Guards is about 130,000."
"Is this the limit of the royal capital?"
Heidi nodded.
"Soldiers are trained full-time warriors."
"Achieving a ratio of nearly 9 to 1."
"Nine non-retired people can support one soldier."
"If it were placed in the territory of other nobles, the finances would have collapsed."
"And the king can maintain such a high military strength."
“The main thing is to receive taxes from various fiefdoms.”
"Almost half of the country's tax dollars are used to maintain the operation of the royal capital's military power."
"So we want to mobilize more power, and the support of the feudal nobles is crucial."
Fang Yuan looked through the information in his hand.
Then he raised his head.
"How is the situation over there with the feudal nobles?"
Heidi found a pile of information.
"Now the Rainbow Duke has the support of eight dukes."
"Plus the governor of the southeastern province."
"The royal capital has been surrounded by Rainbow Duke."
"The original border alliance has been abandoned."
"He even kicked Governor Tyr out of the Alliance."
"As for us and Sam, we can't even meet him."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan's lips curled up slightly.
"It's floating!"
"How are the arrangements with Doug?"
The order was given to Doug more than half a month ago.
However, the situation at the border is complicated.
Want to attack a duke's territory.
Doug needs to confront the entire frontier aristocracy.
Even if the Orc Kingdom launches a massive attack, it must weigh its strength.
"We found Sam and Tyr."
"Told the plan to attack Rainbow Duke."
"They did not refuse, which is equivalent to acquiescing."
"Duke Rainbow now thinks he has the support of the nobles."
"My position will be stable."
"But his arrogance actually angered the nobles on the border."
"There are still some differences between the border nobles and the nobles in other places."
"They regard their promises as their life."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"I chose Rainbow Duke before because he was stupid enough."
"But I didn't expect to be so stupid."
"Let Doug do it as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
At this time, Christian next to him asked.
"Your Excellency."
"Judging from the information we have."
"Even if we attack the territory of Rainbow Duke."
"It is unlikely that he will give up the oppression of the royal capital."
"I'm afraid that within a short period of time, the feudal nobles will put pressure on Duke Rainbow."
"Let him show up and compete with the Sixth Prince for the throne."
"At that time, the situation will get out of control very quickly."
"Because of the information obtained from Guderian."
"It is very likely that the sons of the Evil God who were originally lurking have joined the ranks of the fiefdom nobles."
"The evil god's power lurks deep among the feudal nobles."
"It is basically impossible for us to eliminate them."
"As soon as the Rainbow Duke shows up, prepare to take action."
"The conflict will intensify instantly."
"Although we hold the royal capital and an army of 130,000."
"But the capital's own food reserves are not enough."
"At the same time, outside the city, the power of the feudal nobles is not weak."
"Once the war begins."
"We can't fight for a long time, we can only fight hard."
"And if you want to win, I'm afraid it will hurt both sides."
"In addition, based on previous inferences."
"The sons of the Evil God are so keen on provoking war."
"It must be an attempt to weaken the Alpha Kingdom."
"There may even be a legion hiding around here."
"If we really let the war start."
"Even if we win in the end, we will still face the threat of the evil god's army."
"Until then, we can only let Aria's legions join the fight."
"And once Aria's legion is exposed to the human nobles, the fear of the aliens will make all human nobles stand against us."
"By then, not only will the Alpha Kingdom be unable to be conquered, but it will also face a human coalition."
"The war will develop in a direction that is extremely unfavorable to us."
Christian analyzed these.
Fang Yuan has performed the simulation on the sand table before.
This is indeed the worst case scenario.
In order to prevent this situation from happening.
Follow the subsequent plan.
It is necessary to completely control the royal capital and the feudal nobles outside.
The royal capital is almost here now.
The only thing missing is the feudal nobles outside.
Fang Yuan looked at Crowe beside him.
"How is the research progress at the Alchemist Association?"
After Lilith returned, she officially took over the Alchemist Association.
The resources of the entire kingdom were mobilized to study alchemical potions that control magic crystal warriors, as well as potions that turn ordinary people into magic crystal warriors.
These two studies are related to the success or failure of your own plan.
As long as one succeeds.
The plan to take control of the Alpha Kingdom is basically complete.
Two successes.
The evil god is the meat on the chopping board.
You can cut it whenever you want.
"Your Excellency."
"The alchemy potion is still in its third generation."
"Your Excellency Lilith said that it still needs some time to perfect."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
"The situation is urgent."
"If it's not perfect, it's okay if it works."
"Go and ask Lilith."
"Yes!"
And just for a moment in Crowe.
Suddenly he returned.
He was walking in a hurry, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
After seeing Fang Yuan, he shouted excitedly.
"Your Excellency."
"The fourth generation of puppet potion was successful."
"Perfect!"
"The most perfect potion."
"I have never seen such a perfect puppet potion in the world."
Crowe's excited voice was heard.
A smile appeared on Fang Yuan's lips.
Lilith will not let herself down.
"Lead the way to the Alchemist Association." "Yes!" (End of this chapter)
