Hotch's heart trembled, and he immediately concentrated on it, waiting for Mr. Puppet to share the information.
As the heir to the Marquis of Bach and a nobleman of the Salom Empire, Hodge was extremely concerned about this kind of information related to the Salom Empire.
"This information is related to some families in the Salom Empire."
Mr. Puppet looked at the members and said in a deep voice: "Since the last time Mr. Edward shared the movements of the Juting Sect and the Eternal Demon Sect, I asked the first supporter in the Salom Empire, the Vampire Clan, to inquire about the news and want to confirm that Salom
Is the news that the Mu Empire launched troops against the New Gil region true? Who is the senior official of the empire who is taking the lead in this matter?"
"In the end, I got some interesting information."
"The first one, the Emperor of the Salom Empire, Salom IV, has been in a bit of a bad state recently."
"Since May last year, he has rarely appeared in public and rarely even met with the two consuls. Judging from past intelligence, this is very strange. This emperor has a great desire to control power.
Even when there are two consuls, he likes to intervene in the affairs of the empire and do it himself, but such an emperor has actually not shown up recently and does not interfere with the governance of the consuls."
"That in itself is a problem."
"Especially when the empire's top officials clearly intend to attack the rebels in the New Gil region and start a war between the two countries, I have reason to suspect that there is a serious problem with the emperor's state, and he may even have died...
"
"What?"
All the members exclaimed, feeling deeply shocked by the information Mr. Puppet brought.
What is the Salom Empire?
It is the most powerful country in the Southern Continent. It has the support of the three major churches, has a large number of magicians, knights, and priests. It controls most of the area in the Southern Continent. It is the country with the most developed planting, industry, and textile industries.
The will of the Salom Empire is equivalent to the will of the Southern Continent.
Almost all other small countries rely on the influence of the Salom Empire for survival.
In the entire southern continent, only the Hob United Empire, which was founded by nomads and was located on the plains, could compete with it.
In other words, once the Salom Empire defeats the Hob United Empire, it will be able to completely unify the Southern Continent, and this emperor can be called the one emperor for eternity.
After the discussion at the last gathering, almost all members believed that it was the emperor who gave the order to attack the New Gil area, break through the dark mountains and forests, and open the final passage to the Hob United Empire.
Even if it wasn't his permission, it was at least his tacit approval.
After all, it was a matter involving a war between gods, and even the two consuls did not dare to act beyond the emperor.
Not everyone can bear the wrath of the gods.
But judging from the information shared by Mr. Puppet, it is possible that this matter was not actually ordered by Salom IV.
Even the fourth emperor of the empire may have died long ago.
"Mr. Puppet, please investigate this matter more carefully. If Salom IV really falls, this may be an opportunity for our blood race to rise. Whether it is to transform Salom IV into a first supporter, or use
Resurrecting it through undead means is the best opportunity for us vampires." Albert, the God's Favored One, looked at Mr. Puppet and said seriously.
"I will." Mr. Puppet nodded and continued: "The second thing is that there seem to be some differences and contradictions within the Salom family. The main manifestation is the political struggle between Prince Malthus and Prince Dickens. They
We have won over many high-ranking officials in the empire to fight with each other over the distribution of the New Gil region."
"Their struggle has even affected the Royal Knights of the Empire. Many senior members of the Knights have also participated in it, adding fuel to the flames. This is also one of the opportunities to launch a war."
When internal struggles cannot digest contradictions, they will transfer the contradictions to the outside and redistribute them through war... Hodge suddenly remembered this sentence. The essence of war, to put it bluntly, is the distribution of interests.
Whether it is to expand territory or recover lost territory.
In essence, it is all about gaining profits.
For the sake of profit, the family supports the empire and provides money and troops.
For the sake of profit, the empire raised troops to conquer and went to war.
The ultimate goal of these two princes is undoubtedly to become crown princes and heirs to the royal family.
This is a fight to the death.
This fight will not end until one side falls.
"It's interesting. The fight between these two princes is also an opportunity." Gargoyle Simon smiled sadly and said hoarsely.
"If Salom IV really dies, and it is difficult to resurrect, supporting a prince to become the fifth emperor is also a good choice for us." Miss Succubus was as charming as a royal sister.
The sound rang out.
"You can get in touch, find a royal bloodline who is close to the vampire family, let him become the crown prince, inherit the throne, and our vampire family can survive in the empire openly. The strength of the Holy Church is indeed very strong, but in the Salom Empire, there are not only
They are a church, and as long as one of the Mechanical Church and the Ocean Church expresses support, we vampires can establish the Church of the Moon."
Albert, the Favored One of God, also expressed his approval of Miss Succubus's words.
"According to the inheritance law of the Salom Empire, whether they are close relatives or distant relatives, as long as they have the blood of the Salom royal family, they are eligible to inherit the throne. In fact, it may not be these two princes. Other royal bloodlines also have this opportunity.
,Besides, adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely."
Hodge used his own meaning to explain the meaning of icing on the cake and providing help in times of need: "Supporting a royal bloodline with little strength makes it easier for us to control him, but supporting two princes, they already have their own strength and support themselves.
It is very difficult for us to influence the top leaders of the family and the empire, and the three major churches also hide their infiltration into the empire in secret."
"With our support for the two princes, it is very likely that we will eventually make wedding clothes for them."
After hearing this, all the members nodded thoughtfully. It is undeniable that Mr. Edward's analysis makes sense.
They can think of two princes who have a great chance, and other families and other forces can definitely think of it too.
The three major churches have always wanted to completely control the empire. With such an obvious goal, they will definitely not give up.
Once the power of the church penetrates and the vampires expose themselves rashly, they may become the target of public criticism.
Compared to humans, vampires are foreign races after all.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds.
This kind of saying has always been spread in the world.
If they had no choice, the two princes would definitely not rely on the power of the vampire clan.
