The 9th prince was also shocked by the 6th prince's choice. He never expected that the 6th prince would defect to his opponent so simply.
Thinking back then, Princess Lu was also ruthless, otherwise she would not have survived the bloody night in the imperial capital.
But now there is no other way besides yelling in anger and smashing things.
With his current military strength, it is really difficult to resist him.
After calming down, the 9th prince asked the dark elf to pass a message to the 15th prince and the 67th prince, asking them to wait for the 10th prince's army to join the imperial capital.
The 15th prince and the 67th prince were helpless. If they broke into the imperial capital, then the situation was decided and they should join them.
It's just that their own lives are in the hands of the ninth prince, and they have no control over it.
They can predict that they will be the victims of the new era.
…
On December 3, the 24th prince led his army to the imperial capital.
9 The prince did not send troops to stop him because there was no key point to defend.
There was no resistance in the imperial capital, but many grassroots organized private army employees to go to the streets to greet them.
Brigitte hugged little Yamazaki and joked about choosing some beautiful maids for him, which made Yamazaki a little wild and made Shandai laugh.
At this time, a blue-haired old man fell from the sky, suspended in mid-air, and stopped in front of the army.
The joyful and lively atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and the music stopped.
The eighth-level Thunder Emperor Antonelli left the Magic Guild for his disciple, the seventh-level Thunder Emperor Autry.
"His Royal Highness 24, I, Antonelli of the Magic Guild, would like to inquire with His Highness 39 Princess about something. Please do me a favor. All of our thunder department will remember your highness's help."
When Antonelli thought about it, the 24th prince was only at level 8 strength. In order to win over his 8th level and the Thunder Department of the Magic Guild, the 39th prince was bound to be handed over.
However, the current 24th Prince is actually a black-robed, ancient purgatory dragon, dark elf high priest, and green dragon body, a super monster that was refined and fused in magma.
24 The prince dismounted and faced each other, "Are you done?"
"It seems that His Highness will not agree..." The eighth-level Thunder Emperor Antonelli suddenly exploded, and his whole person exploded into bloody droplets.
Level 8 defensive magic cannot reach the power of the black robe and is directly penetrated, and the human body is completely unable to withstand the force of a punch.
"ah!"
The people stained with flesh and blood were shocked and screamed, but they were quickly stopped by the people next to them and motioned to look at the sky.
24 The prince stood in the air, looking down at all living beings, showing his majesty as king over the world.
"Those who despise the royal family will die!"
Many people knelt down, and more and more people knelt down, and eventually the greeting turned from standing in the aisles to kneeling down to greet us.
…
Royal palace, main hall.
Shan Dai ran up the steps with her short legs and curiously sat on the royal chair. Unfortunately, she was too small, so the chair could be used as her bed.
The leader of the palace guards wanted to stop him, but seeing that the prince and princess didn't say anything, he kept his mouth shut.
Shandai jumped up and down on the imperial chair, but felt uninterested, so she gave up her seat.
Brigitte took Yamazaki to sit on it. The width was just right, but the armrests were still too high.
24 The prince sat down just right. It was obvious that this chair was originally prepared for tall men.
Brigitte sighed, "Really, it seems that I don't have the life of the empress."
Shan Dai smacked her lips and said, "Take your time. When you have the strength of the empress, you will naturally be able to overwhelm the world."
"Then you have to help me." Brigitte understood that without Shandai's help, she would never be able to increase her attributes.
"Take your time." Shan Dai was not in the mood to work now.
Brigitte said coquettishly to Yamazaki, "Young man."
Yamazaki was funny, "Get the magic stone ready, and everything will fall into place."
…
On the other side, everyone in the imperial capital was talking about the 24th prince, and the magic guild was even more noisy, shouting that they couldn't just let it go, but no one wanted to get involved.
They noticed the behavior of the eighth-level Thunder Emperor Antonelli, but at the moment of the battle, they did not understand it.
They didn't know whether the eighth-level Thunder Emperor Antonelli had used protective magic at that time. If so, the strength of the 24th prince would have been terrifying.
…
The news quickly reached the 9th prince. He felt bad and began to prepare a backup plan.
If Prince 24 can kill level 8 instantly, he can easily break through the dark elf and get in front of him to assassinate him.
There are three paths before us now, one is to take refuge, the other is to retreat, and the third is to retreat as an advance.
Taking refuge is a pretense of surrender, waiting to plot later, but it can easily be swallowed up.
The general retreat was to the east, to the seaside, away from the imperial capital, where peace could be guaranteed for a while.
To retreat is to evacuate the imperial capital; to advance is to sow discord between the royal family and the nobility.
Now that many nobles have annexed surrounding territories, they thought that the chaos would last long enough for them to digest it.
However, they never expected that the situation would suddenly change. The sixth princess took refuge in the tenth prince, and the three-legged power turned into a tiger and wolf fight.
Prince 10 is now a tiger, Prince 15 and Prince 67 9 are three wolves. Even if they join forces, they will be defeated.
When the 10th prince wins the throne, he must maintain the aristocratic system and protect the territories of each noble.
But now many nobles have lost their territories. This cannot be just returned to them. There is also a life debt.
As long as the news is spread that the emperor will stand up for the small nobles and severely punish the big nobles who invade and occupy the territory, the big nobles will not be willing to die, and there will be chaos.
The Imperial Capital could only prioritize putting down the rebellion and had no time to take care of him. He would have time to wait for the return of the Dark Elf High Priest.
However, if the Dark Elf High Priest never comes, the Imperial Capital will eventually attack. Even if he surrenders, he may still be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
If the Dark Elf High Priest comes soon, convinces the 24th prince, and helps him seize the imperial capital, then he will be the one scrambling to pacify all parties.
There is another way, which is for the 15th prince and the 67th prince to find a way to assassinate the 24th prince. Force is not enough and it is poisonous.
But if it fails, the two chess pieces, 15th Prince and 67th Prince, will be completely useless.
9 The prince couldn't make a decision, so he tidied up and waited for the news.
…
On December 4th, there was a court meeting in the imperial capital.
24 The prince sat on the imperial chair and met with the officials of the imperial capital. They are the ones who make the imperial capital run normally.
24 The prince changed the tax policy and magic stones can be used to deduct taxes.
At the same time, a large amount of gold and silver was taken out as a supplement, and a relief program was established to help civilians survive the winter.
…
On December 5, the 15th prince and the 67th prince entered the imperial capital together to surrender to the 24th prince, and then led the guards to move into their respective palaces.
The royal war has stopped, and all parties, including the royal family, nobles and civilians, are waiting for new news.
On December 10, the 6th princess and the 10th prince led an army to the imperial capital.
The two approached Brigitte and asked her straight to the point when she would ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor.
Brigitte shook her head, "No, I don't think it's interesting to be the emperor, but I don't plan to let anyone else do it, so I'll leave it empty and you two will be the regents to lead the officials."
6 The princess didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Nonsense, how could anyone be like you?”
10 The prince also had a headache, "Giving two regents, is this a check and balance on us?"
Brigitte laughed and said: "Anyway, I have the biggest fist and I have the final say. Besides, I have no political experience."
"There is nothing to learn."
"Forget it, let her play."
