The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then walked up the stairs and stood in front of Zhao Yuanlang.

"Kneel down!" Zhao Yuanlang looked at his eldest son kindly. He had put all his efforts into this son, and at the age of 23, he was already strong enough to deal with several demon undead warriors. Even if he met a hell lord like Aigre the Gloomy Eye, he could fight back and forth.

Caesar not only has great personal strength, but also has outstanding leadership ability. He serves as the Grand Master of the Griffin Knights.

Moreover, Caesar was very knowledgeable and of good character. He treated his brothers and sisters without any prejudice, was neither humble nor arrogant to anyone, and did not have a condescending attitude towards any of the citizens of the empire.

Caesar looked at his father in surprise, but still knelt down obediently in front of his father.

Zhao Yuanlang slowly stood up from the throne, and placed the golden olive branch crown on Caesar's head in the shocked eyes of the princes and nobles. Then he handed the scepter in his hand to his son and pulled him up.

"Go to your mother!"

Caesar looked at his father in shock: "Father! I..."

Before Caesar could finish his words, Zhao Yuanlang dissuaded him from doing so and asked him to kneel down in front of Iris.

Iris looked at her son with some emotion, then took off the griffin ring that represented the heritage of the empire from her neck and put it around Caesar's neck.

"Caesar, the throne is yours." Zhao Yuanlang pulled Caesar up and pressed him on the golden throne.

"Father|Your Majesty!"

Caesar and many other princes and nobles looked at Zhao Yuanlang in confusion. They didn't understand why Zhao Yuanlang, who was growing more powerful and seemingly aging, suddenly chose to abdicate.

"Lillian, Lilith, Anthony, Pompey, Crassus, Lepidus, Lilia, step forward and kneel!"

Led by Lillian, Zhao Yuanlang's children took a step forward and knelt on the ground.

"Do you have any objection to your eldest brother inheriting the throne?"

"I can't wait!"

"Very good. Remember, this world belongs to us, Kavala, and the people. You must always remember to protect the lives, property, health, and dignity of the people of the empire. You will become marquises of the empire, lower than dukes but higher than earls. You will have 300 private soldiers, and the empire will pay for your salaries. You must remember to help your eldest brother govern my country together!"

"We will obey our father's orders and help you to defend the lives, property, health and dignity of the people of the empire."

"Well, everyone, don't be confused. I am here to announce the last decree: The emperor of the empire, whether young or old, strong or weak, must pass the throne to his heir after twenty years in office. This is my order, and my order is the law! Why don't you see Caesar I!"

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, they stood up, knelt on one knee, and paid the highest respect to Saint Caesar Kavala on the throne.

"We pay our respects to His Majesty Caesar. Long live the Emperor, and may the Empire live forever!"

"Well, my son, I have been on the throne long enough. I have fought wars in the south and the north, governed the country, and eliminated the cancer lurking in the empire. Now I hand it over to you. Let's go, Iris."

"Yes, my Lord. May I have a word with Caesar?"

Zhao Yuanlang nodded.

"Caesar, my son, you are the emperor of the empire now. Everything depends on you. Your father and I will always watch over you. Also, you should consider your marriage. I think Archduke Ulrich's youngest daughter Elizabeth has been eager to marry you, my son." Iris teased her son in a playful manner and left with Zhao Yuanlang's arm.

Caesar looked embarrassed, and his brothers and sisters below were trying hard to hold back their laughter.

........

Spring went and autumn came, summer turned and winter came, and five years passed in a blink of an eye. Caesar did a good job on the throne of the empire. In the first year, he took the lead in placing many nobles loyal to him, and then inspected the major legions of the empire.

Later, he married Old Wu's youngest daughter, Elizabeth, and not long after, Elizabeth became pregnant.

With the birth of his eldest son, he began to work hard to govern the country. Through various economic measures, he caused the economy of Tengheim to collapse. The country had no choice but to come to Sarleon and become a vassal state of the Pendor Empire, contributing ore, weapons and armor to the empire every year.

In order to defeat the Vanskerry pirates who roamed the sea, he even selected high-quality wood, built a naval port, manufactured warships, and trained the navy.

The pirates of Vanskerry were in bad luck. In the past, they could only sneak around the coast of the empire and carry out small-scale robberies from one place to another. Now, they were no longer safe on the sea.

Zhao Yuanlang watched with satisfaction as his son continued to expand the glory of the empire, and nodded with satisfaction.

As the navy grew stronger, Caesar put the conquest of Vanskerry on the agenda, and he personally led his men into Vanskerry.

Although Vanskerry is a kingdom, it has countless small tribes, each of which is basically completely autonomous. The tribal leaders of Vanskerry often dress up as pirates and ride on the sea. The Vanskerry royal family is just the leader of the largest Vanskerry tribe. Many tribes basically sneer at this royal family and only listen to orders.

When the soldiers of the Pendor Empire landed in Vanskerry, only the royal family realized the power of the Pendor Empire and called on the people of Vanskerry to reunite, but those arrogant Vanskerry tribes who had only muscles but no brains did not believe the royal family's orders at all.

After more than a dozen large tribes were defeated in succession, this group of muscular barbarians finally woke up and united, but it was too late. A steady stream of imperial soldiers had already arrived in the areas occupied by Caesar.

Eventually, the entire tribe of Vanskerry was forced to surrender and became a vassal state of the Pendor Empire, delivering expensive supplies every year.

As for why Vanskerry was not completely destroyed, it was because Zhao Yuanlang took into consideration Haf Sigla, whose real body was in Vanskerry. As the native god of Vanskerry - the God of Wind, if Vanskerry was destroyed, this guy might come out to kill him.

Zhao Yuanlang doesn’t have much time left. His faith points have been paid off and now they increase by several hundred points every month.

It's time to leave, the system has urged itself.

One night, Zhao Yuanlang reluctantly glanced at Iris who was sleeping beside him, then walked to the balcony and began to rise slowly, becoming blurry under the starlight.

"Goodbye, my love, goodbye, my children, goodbye, my empire."

The retired emperor disappeared, and the people of the empire were very sad. However, the soldiers on duty that day said that the retired emperor's bedroom was covered with starlight, and the retired emperor returned to heaven on the starlight.

God finally returned to his kingdom.

........

When Zhao Yuanlang opened his eyes, he was still falling. He had fallen halfway down the hundred-foot cliff. He could see the pale and angry face of the dead-faced captain on the top of the mountain.

He was about to burst into laughter, but who knew that excessive laughter would lead to sorrow, and he bumped his head hard into a protruding rock.

The whole rock was smashed to pieces. He tried to shake his head to stay awake, and then he hit the second rock, the third, the fourth, and the fifth.

Even a strong man couldn't bear it. Zhao Yuanlang was indeed strong, but the continuous impact made him dazed and lost consciousness.
