Chapter 677 Nodes
"Master Shulk, will this king election still be held?"

After resting for a while, the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed. A congressman asked, they were so busy dealing with post-war affairs before, but they temporarily forgot about this issue.

Calculating the time, the originally scheduled king election meeting is only a few days away, but with the current situation in Guangjuan Holy City, what a ghost.

Shulk is also helpless about this. This time, the glory of the Empire can be said to have lost face, especially the representatives of the great nobles and powerful forces from the Tanris Continent gathered to visit the Holy City and witnessed the demon army During the battle, although their existence actually helped a lot, and many of them with high moral character directly participated in the battle, the embarrassment of the Huiyao Empire was seen by everyone because of this, and they couldn't even cover it up. no way.

"Forget it, I think. Wait for another two years, at least until the reconstruction of Guangjuan Holy City is completed."

The head of the Tanzanian family, the Duchess Orianna Tanzani, said: "After the war, there are many things to rebuild, and choosing an emperor at this time will be in the way."

"Yeah, after all, the culprit of this incident is an emperor... Tortola, back then I thought that this guy died too simply, and I'm afraid there is someone behind him, but I didn't expect him to dare to do this."

A long-bearded councilor who seemed to be very old and was holding a cane in his hand said: "I'm afraid everyone will feel awkward if we choose an emperor at this moment."

"I think it's better to simply cancel the king election. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not. Is it interesting to put it on like this? Maybe it will be affected by the Tortola incident and inspire undue ambitions."

The one who spoke was a young member of the new generation. Obviously, he still felt a little displeased that there was still an emperor on his head, even if it was only the emperor in name.

"How can that be? In that case, wouldn't the parliament become a tyrant? Don't forget that we are not a city-state or alliance, we are an empire! With an emperor, even if it is only in name, it is a banner that unites all regions and families , otherwise such a huge territory as the Huiyao Empire will sooner or later be separated from Germany."

This was the speech of a mature and prudent person, and the new generation immediately refuted it, and soon the two sides had some quarrels.

"All right, all right, don't look at what time it is, what's the fuss about?"

Shulk knocked on the table, feeling a little headache, but his prestige is here after all, and the two factions fell silent after speaking.

"Let's let the king selection meeting go for now. Now is the time when people are panicking. This time, the three royal families have suffered a lot. The nobles in those places may feel a little unstable."

Shulk said: "Aside from other things, after the call-up order was issued, less than two-thirds of the nobles near Guangjuan Holy City responded accordingly, and the rest didn't even express their views. This is not a good signal. It seems that Taiping has already After a long time, some people have forgotten that the three royal families, My Blade Shangfeng."

"Leave this to me."

It was the Duke of Pamo who spoke. As the only one among the leaders of the three royal families who did not hold a priesthood in the temple, he has always handled such secular matters.

Shulk nodded and didn't say anything more. Duke Pamo is his hard-core ally, and he has always done things safely and reliably. He has a strong control over the Tatton family. Since things are promised, there will be no problems.

"How are those people from the Silver City State? If possible, send them away as soon as possible. Those legendary mages are said to be very active in recent days."

Shulk shifted the topic to the reinforcements who finally locked the battle situation, and immediately someone poured bitter water: "It's easy to ask God to send God, Speaker, listen to the meaning of those legendary mages, they have taken a fancy to us There are several arcane magic network nodes in the territory of the Glorious Empire, and it will not be easy to send them away."

"Now all the arcane magic net nodes in the silver city-state have been developed, but the number of floating cities exceeds it. The competition is very fierce. It is said that even several legendary mages have become enemies because of this. In recent years, they have been expanding outwards. , for this reason, this time, he took the initiative to come to help without waiting for us to ask for help, obviously because he took a fancy to our Arcane Magic Network node."

Indeed, due to the power of the temples blooming everywhere, the mage system of the Huiyao Empire was suppressed to the extreme. The country has cultivated a "Flash Guard" mage group. Foreign mages are limited to a few noble magic consultants, and there are no large-scale mage organizations. , the utilization of the Arcane Magic Net is naturally not high, but the empire has always been extremely vigilant against mages. Even if their own Arcane Magic Net nodes cannot be used, they will not allow foreign mages to occupy them. The idea of ​​the domestic arcane magic network node in the Glory Empire is not very good, but if it is really consolidated, the Glory Empire is not in vain at all, and it is a false name to be the most powerful country in mankind.

"Even if the arcane magic net node is not used, it cannot be handed over to the silver city-state!"

Shulk is categorical, Ouanrios has occupied the node of the arcane magic network in the Holy City of Light, so there is no way. It is true that the old man crushes all living beings and gods, but others are different. Divine magic and arcane magic They never set up a fight, and it would be good if they didn't confront each other on the bright side. If you really hand over the arcane magic net node to the mage of the silver city-state, that is an enemy, and the three major temples will not agree in the first place.

"But Speaker, it will be difficult to deal with those legendary mages in this way. Their floating city can be moved at will, and it is a large fortress that integrates offense and defense. Unless a war is launched, it will be really difficult."

Now everyone is in a dilemma, what is difficult, this is it, the air power of the Huiyao Empire is not strong, and now it has suffered heavy losses, it is difficult to even pose a threat to those floating cities.

Of course, if they really fight, the Glorious Empire is worthwhile. Although divine arts are not as offensive as arcane arts, they are good at defense and anti-arcana arts. The gods cannot descend in person. When necessary, a group of divine envoys and incarnations of gods and demigods will descend. That is a large group of high-end military forces, and there is absolutely no problem in ramming the silver city-state.

"Blah... blah..."

Shulk's fingers lightly tapped the table in front of him, making a crisp sound. The meeting room was silent, and everyone was waiting for his decision. Although it was a parliamentary system, at a critical moment, Shulk, the speaker, But he can also decide everything with one word. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the uncrowned king of the Huiyao Empire.

"It is natural to go against the silver city-state directly, and they have indeed helped us a lot. We owe them a huge favor."

Shulk finally said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we can introduce a force that can resist or even restrict them? What do you think of the Prince of the East?"
