king.

Chapter 641 Human Heart
As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the blood-red earth, decorated with broken arms and limbs all over the ground, filling the atmosphere of terror.

The air was filled with the permeating smell of blood.

At the end of the war, the enemy troops retreated, and the two armies successfully joined forces on the battlefield.

"Dear Duke Beckett, on behalf of the Principality of Moxi, I welcome you. The victory in today's battle depends entirely on you..."

Raquel was already adept at formulaic greetings.If his image wasn't too embarrassing, his current performance would be perfect.

"Your Majesty the Governor, you are so polite. If you have been able to hold off the enemy for so long, you have actually won the victory.

No matter how ferocious the inner earth races are, they are still outsiders, and the logistical pressure they need to bear is much greater than us.

It only takes a while and they themselves will be overwhelmed by logistics.

The fighting will shown by your soldiers in the battle has made them one of the strongest armies in the mainland, and they have great potential in the future! "

Typical business bragging, but Duke Beckett is not pure nonsense. The performance of the Mossi army in this war is indeed good.

The two of them were complimenting each other back and forth, and for a moment they felt like they had met each other so late.

It was just the pungent smell that ruined this harmonious scene.Realizing something was wrong, Raquel hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty the Duke, I'm going to wash up first, and later..."

In the end, Raquel took back the words "celebration party".At this moment, Fort Augustus was not much different from the ruins, and there was no way to hold a celebration banquet.

Holding it forcefully will only embarrass yourself in front of your allies.

"Governor, please help yourself, we have brought our own tents, you don't need to prepare anything.

After the evil spirits are exterminated, it is not too late to celebrate the victory! "

Duke Beckett said proudly.

As a veteran on the battlefield, he could see the embarrassment of the Principality of Moxi just from Raquel's embarrassment.

The races in the center of the earth are in chaos, and the alien races are not idle.

As far as he knew, the elves had increased the number of troops stationed on the front line a few days ago, forcing the Mossi to follow suit.

Once the border area is moved, the mobile forces that the Principality of Moxi can use will be greatly reduced.

Now we are busy recruiting reserves to deal with the complex situation in the country.Among the soldiers currently participating in the war, there are many reservists.

As long as the Mossi people are willing to spend resources in the future, these officers and soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the war will slowly complete their transformation into elites.

Augustburg is just one of many battlefields. The relief of the siege of Augustburg is only the beginning of the war, and it is still early to end!
……

Emerald Palace.

After receiving good news and bad news at the same time, Caesar IV's gloomy face finally regained its color.

"Ancestor, you are satisfied now!

The morale of the expeditionary regiment to reinforce the Kingdom of Hesse is low and must be withdrawn to the country for rest. The vacancy left will be filled by the royal family's private army. "

The expeditionary corps is a public service, and all expenses are paid by the royal government.The current actions of the royal family's private army are in nature to fill holes and deal with the aftermath.

Not only do they have to pay for the logistics themselves, but no one can cover their losses on the battlefield.

They can't complain about such different treatment. They are paying the price for the death of Duke Tous.

The nobles were all watching, and the matter would not end until the royal family cut their flesh and bleeds.

"Okay little Caesar, the death of Duke Tous has nothing to do with me.

What good will it do me to kill the army commander for no reason?
Judging from the current situation, I am the biggest loser in this incident, and you are more suspected of taking action than me!
There must be something wrong behind this, but there are too few clues left at the scene to investigate.

The matter has reached this point, and there is no point in continuing to dwell on it.

Let’s deal with the aftermath first!

Since the enemy is coming for the royal family, it will not end easily, and various means will definitely be needed in the follow-up. "

Alpha I replied without changing his expression.

He was truly unjust about what happened this time.

He was so confused that he took the blame for someone else, without even knowing who was behind the scenes.

If the culprit is not found out and he is beaten a few more times, he, the founder of the country that everyone respects, may become a lost dog.

Once the nobles get angry, no matter who the founder of the country is, they only know that the stumbling blocks in the way must be kicked away.

It's a pity that his return was too short, and the team was in business.With his own strength alone, it is almost impossible to find out who is behind the scenes.

"Let's just say there are enemies behind the scenes, but if you don't bother too much, the enemies won't be able to take advantage of you!"

Caesar IV responded unceremoniously.

Words can deceive, but actions cannot.

Alpha I assured him more than once that he had no intention of usurping the throne, but his specific performance was completely different.

The already pitiful blood and family ties have long been reduced to nothing due to constant consumption.

In the opinion of Caesar IV, it would be better not to have such an ancestor who was constantly causing trouble.

With the current strength of the royal family, he can secure the throne with or without this returned ancestor.

On the contrary, after the addition of Alpha I, the internal conflicts in the royal family became more and more intense.

Being criticized by his descendants, Alpha I also accumulated a lot of anger, but he was able to restrain his anger.

If he had no intention of seizing power, it wouldn't be a big deal for him as an ancestor to beat up Caesar IV.

But it won't work now, because he overestimated his influence and exposed his ambitions in advance, and now all parties are staring at him.

Any overstep will lead to danger in the future.

"That's all, you have to figure it out yourself!

I'm going to retreat first. If there's nothing serious, don't disturb me! "

After saying that, Alpha I waved his sleeves and left this sad place.

Time can dilute everything. Deep down in his heart, he has made up his mind that he will never leave until the limelight passes.

Caesar IV had too many political achievements, and his political methods were above the passing mark. The probability of him seizing power by force was really low.

If you can't rush hard, then retreat temporarily and just wait for the time.

He didn't believe that the kingdom's fortunes had always been strong and that the successors would be promising kings, not to mention that Caesar IV didn't even have any descendants.

Either he was physically ill or he was injured when he was young, causing difficulties for his heirs.

There are many similar unlucky nobles, most of whom suffer from the sequelae of magical treatment.

The magic healed the trauma, but because it consumed too much vitality, the activity of the sperm decreased.

Even if you are lucky enough to have offspring, your body will be affected, and it will not be easy to reach adulthood smoothly.

Being childless, the mental pressure you have to endure in the continent of Aslant is huge.

It's okay when you're young, but as you grow older, this pressure will continue to increase.

As a childless monarch, it is even more difficult. You have to be mentally prepared for the ministers to give birth to a child at any time. As for whether the child can be born, they don't care so much.

Coupled with a series of other troubles and being surrounded by hostility almost every day, it would be strange to live a long life.

His mind was opened, and Alpha I's strategy also changed.

Directly seizing power and ascending to the throne is the worst strategy. If you are not careful, it will trigger a civil war in the kingdom. It is better to change your approach.

After figuring it out, Alpha I's overall condition improved a lot, leaving Caesar IV alone in a daze.

It went really well!
After just a few words of exchange, the ancestor who opposed him every day went to retreat.If he had known that it would be so easy to achieve his goal, he should not have kept making excuses.

With the retreat of Alpha I, the power dispute in the royal family came to an end for the time being, and the princes and nobles in the court breathed a sigh of relief.

Caught between two big guys, living in the cracks every day in fear, it's really hard to live that kind of life.

Well now, Alpha I gave in, ending the tragic years of the two state-owned masters.

The nobles who defected to Alpha I were depressed and saw no benefits. The boss fell silent first.

Especially those unlucky families whose heirs died, they suffered even more losses this time.

It's useless to be unwilling, Alpha I has gone into seclusion, and they can't even see anyone.

Caesar IV was worried that he had no reason to deal with these young men. If they made a fuss, he would be sent to hell.

It is true that the king cannot kill nobles without restraint, but killing does not necessarily require the use of a knife!

……

Alpha I, who had retired, was also having a hard time at the moment. He had just started to retreat when his partners came knocking on his door.

"Alpha, what do you mean?"

Gustav asked angrily.

They agreed to help them restore their country after the restoration.As a result, the restoration had just begun, and the protagonist left the scene.

If Alpha I himself doesn't fight, Gustav will be powerless even if he is full of troubles.

“Gustave, calm down first.

Things are not as simple as you see!
Now it is not that I want to retire, but that all parties in the kingdom want me to retire.If you keep trying hard, you will only gain more enemies for nothing.

Rather than arouse the resentment of the nobles of the kingdom, it is better to follow the trend and avoid the edge for the time being.

You and I both have plenty of time to wait, so don’t rush for quick success and put yourself in danger! "

Alpha I explained calmly.

Knowing how to "forbear" and "advance and retreat" are essential qualities for a qualified monarch.

He blindly launched a war to seize the throne, which made the nobles angry. It would be embarrassing if they refused to recognize his identity.

No one dares to commit "regicide"; but everyone is happy to kill a fake monarch.

"Humph!"

"Alpha, put away your little thoughts!

Your kingdom is in the hands of future generations, and the meat is in the pot whether you take it back or not, but my brother's Warhammer Kingdom has been destroyed!
There is also a contribution from you behind this.

If the Alpha Kingdom hadn't refused to save them, the Warhammer Kingdom would never have ended up in this situation.

To tell you the truth, I haven't been idle these days.

I have met in private those old friends whose country was destroyed and their families were destroyed. Many of them have the intention of restoring the country.

If the Alpha Kingdom is unwilling to help everyone recover, then don't blame us for running into your territory to make a living! "

After hearing Gustav's words, Alpha I's face instantly darkened.

The interests of the Alpha Kingdom have been distributed long ago, and there is no extra place to place these foreign dragons.

In name, they are just "working for a living", but in fact they are here to grab their jobs.

The situation in the kingdom is already troublesome enough, but if there is another group of job seekers, the situation will become even more complicated.

The most important thing is that with more powerful dragons, the difficulty for Alpha I to rise to the top will also rise sharply.

As a strong man in the Holy Realm, everyone can accept a secular monarch like Caesar IV, and both parties can have the power of equal dialogue.

If it were Alpha I, this relationship would have changed.

No one will feel comfortable with a big mountain above their head.Since you have the choice, why ask for trouble!
After a brief period of confusion, Alpha I quickly regained his composure.

"Gustave, I'm not scared.

It would be a good thing if many powerful people joined the kingdom.

You also said just now that the kingdom is in the hands of my descendants.The meat is always in the pot, do you think I will be afraid?

What's more, the princes within the Alpha Kingdom are stronger than the last, and it is difficult for outsiders to get much benefit if they want to get involved.

Not many people would do such a low cost-effective thing.

There are many human countries on the continent. Rather than fighting for the Kingdom of Alpha, it would be easier to change the target.

For example: the other four countries in the Five-Nation Alliance will have much less competitive pressure; or they can go to the prosperous Southern Continent to look for opportunities.

If you can convince them to join, I will only be grateful to you.

With the addition of a new force, our probability of overthrowing the Orc Empire has increased. The Alpha Kingdom will soon become the Alpha Empire.

Give them a message for me. As long as everyone is willing to come over, after we annex the Orc Empire, I guarantee that everyone will be able to obtain a provincial fiefdom! "

Alpha I said pretending not to care.

The Emperor's Law is too unpopular. Apart from himself, no one else has been found to practice it.

Unknown means it is convenient to hide.

Everyone couldn't understand his hypocrisy and the importance of the throne to him. This was why Alpha I sent an invitation in reverse.

"Humph!"

"Stop trying to trick everyone into eating grass on the grassland. You're probably just dreaming!"

Gustav said angrily.

The fiefdom promise is effective for ordinary people, but it is impossible for the strong men in the holy realm to be tempted.

There had been a gap of hundreds of years, and the blood and family ties had long since faded.It's okay to take care of them as much as possible. If you want them to fight for these younger generations, don't even think about it.

Rather than spending decades to start a new business, it is better to go directly to the Human Alliance to serve as a worshipper and directly enjoy the support of the Human Race.

Someone like Gustav, who is determined to restore his country, is an outlier in the Sanctuary circle.

"Okay, Gustave.

I just want you to say something. Whether you can go to Chengdu or not has nothing to do with you.

The current silence is just for a better explosion.

Little Caesar has no direct descendants. In the future, when the collateral heir takes over, there will inevitably be a fight between dragons and tigers. I have decided to kill Little Caesar before taking advantage of the chaos.

Just wait patiently, he has a strong fire and is not a longevity king. "

After hearing Alpha I's explanation, Gustav's eyes instantly lit up.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for a king like Alpha I to return to power after having abdicated for many years, but there was one exception.

If there is a dispute over the candidate for the next monarch, and the fight continues, an opportunity will come to your door.

As the most senior member of the royal family, Alpha I could use the excuse of eliminating internal disputes to temporarily take over the throne as king.

But the premise of all this is that Caesar IV was childless and died young, without having time to cultivate an heir.

If the current king lives a few more years and produces an heir acceptable to all parties, then forget about anything.

Vaguely, Gustav had a terrible idea, but then quickly gave it up.
