As Ivan and Bazel finished speaking, Keen and the other four elders immediately stood up and loudly announced their support for Lei Xiao and Ariel.
"Long live your Royal Highness the Princess! Long live your guest!"
For a moment, the huge courtyard was boiling.
Six of the eleven members of the Presbyterian Council have already announced their support for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing. This undoubtedly shows that the matter is a foregone conclusion. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing have obtained the majority vote of the Presbyterian Council!
In addition to cheering and jumping for joy, most of the merchants' faces were filled with excited reverence.
Although Lei Xiao and Ariel did not make any speech, the true face of Han Shui's despicable nature was clearly revealed. In addition, Lei Xiao and Ariel's reputations were at the height of their popularity. Such a comparison would naturally make them judge each other.
Only under the protection of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Keqing, can the fair scales that the Shangluc family is proud of can be rebalanced and move towards true glory!
"I, we are also willing to fully support Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the guest!"
Seeing that everything had settled, Thomas and the other five elders, who knew that they were helpless, began to show their kindness to Lei Xiao without hesitation.
"Hanshui, it seems that the Elders Council is completely on my side."
Lei Xiao looked at the scene outside the castle with satisfaction, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to the ferocious opponent: "What else can you rely on now?"
"Despicable alien, you complete bastard, my master will never let you go!"
Seeing that the situation was over, Han Shui's eyeballs protruded and were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he said with anger: "You have ruined my family's reputation. Even if I die, I will drag you into the water!"
However, before Han Shui could take action, an extremely tall and burly figure appeared behind him, clasping his hands and wrists, and easily restrained him on the spot.
Needless to say, the one that takes action is naturally knotweed.
Under the majestic pressure of the fifth-level powerhouse, even Han Shui, who was at the peak of the fourth level, could only act like a duck with its neck clamped, unable to move at all, and could only continue to be impotent and furious at Lei Xiao.
Ignoring the hysterical Han Shui, Lei Xiao and Ariel came to the center of the screen together, facing the merchants in the courtyard.
"Everyone, since you have chosen to support me and Her Royal Highness the Princess, then as the protector of the Shangluc Family, I will announce the first oral edict on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright, looking at the more than a hundred members of the Shanglue family who had returned outside the castle, and said loudly: "That is to abolish everything that Han Shui has done as the head of the Shanglue family in the name of Princess Ariel, the heir to the throne of Lengyan.
Power, from now on, Han Shui will no longer hold the position of head of the Shanglu family!"
"I agree!"
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, Keen, as the great elder, immediately voted in favor.
"I agree!"
The other three elders, Aiwen and Bazel also followed closely behind, siding with Lei Xiao without hesitation.
"I agree with you! Han Shui has done many evil things, and his crimes are simply unforgivable!"
Thomas and the other five elders also immediately made their positions clear, even adding insult to injury to express their loyalty.
During this process, Han Shui, who had his neck clamped, was also trying to struggle and curse, but was ignored by Lei Xiao.
"Thank you elders for your support."
Ignoring the cold water that broke his throat, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
So far, with the hard work of himself and his subordinates, he has successfully pulled Han Shui down from the throne of the family leader, and has perfectly achieved the expected goal!
The next third step of the plan, which is also the final step, is naturally to take advantage of the situation to help Lin ascend to the position of head of the family and fulfill the promise he once made to Lin.
"Members of the Shanglu Family, a country cannot live without a king, and a family cannot live without a master. As for the candidate for the new head of the family, Her Royal Highness and I have already set a suitable goal."
Lei Xiao pulled the somewhat bewildered and sassy female knight in front of hundreds of members of the Phytolacca family in the courtyard, and continued to say loudly: "That is Lin, the president of the Phytolacca Trade Association in Kongqing Town!"
"What? Despicable alien, are you crazy?!"
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, Han Shui had a look of astonishment on his face and said hysterically: "She is just an insignificant scumbag from the sideline. What qualifications do she have to sit on the head of the family?!"
As soon as Han Shui said these words, even a considerable number of the Shanglu people had expressions of surprise on their faces, unable to believe their ears.
It is not difficult to see from the scene that Lei Xiao's decision was obviously not recognized by the people of the Shanglu tribe.
This is no wonder, after all, Lin is just a small remote area guild leader, a little-known existence in the family, and is simply insignificant.
It was only because Lei Xiao, a lord from another world, suddenly occupied Kongqing Town, and Ariel's subsequent arrival, that Lin's name began to gradually spread within the Shangluc family.
"Hanshui, you are a true direct member of the family, but what have you brought to the Shangluc family? Nothing but the danger of destruction and the indiscriminate killing of clan members."
Lei Xiao had obviously expected this scene a long time ago and looked calm.
I saw Lei Xiao first glance at Han Shui, and then said to the merchants outside the castle: "Everyone, the reason why Her Highness the Princess and I made this decision is mainly based on three considerations."
"First, as I just said, whether you are a member of the direct line or a member of the collateral line, as long as your heart is with the family, you are an indispensable part of the Shanglu family. Therefore, identity is not a consideration between Her Royal Highness and I.
necessary factors.”
"Second, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son. I believe you have not forgotten the contributions and achievements of Lin's parents to the Phytophthora family, so I don't need to go into details."
"Third, and most importantly, during the time when Her Royal Highness and I were guarding Kongqing Town, Lin's talents have attracted the attention of me and Her Highness, no less than any senior city lord with rich experience.
.”
"The Kongqing Town branch, despite the lack of family resources, has perfectly achieved its expected goals every time. I believe everyone has seen it."
"Furthermore, during several brutal and ruthless offensive and defensive battles in Kongqing Town, Lin, as a member of the Shogluc family, upheld the noble spirit of chivalry and regardless of her own safety, assisted Her Royal Highness and me in repelling the fallen nobles and undead spirits.
, and the attack of the orcs, saved countless lives."
Lei Xiao ended his words here and concluded to the members of the Shangluc family in the courtyard: "Such a dual blessing of outstanding ability and noble character is the core reason why Her Royal Highness and I recommended Lin."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that since he had obtained the support of the Elders Council, he could force Lin to be the head of the family even without going through these ordinary tribesmen.
But if this happens, there will be resentment in the hearts of ordinary people, which will not be conducive to commanding the entire Shanglu family's army.
Therefore, it is natural to obtain the support of everyone present to achieve the most perfect effect.
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, Laisili stood up first from the crowd and echoed: "Your Majesty Ke Qing is right, Lin is the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of our Shanglu family, and has made many important achievements."
It is something that everyone admires, and I raise my hands to agree with the decision of Sir Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After Laisili finished speaking, the other young members of the Shanglu family nodded in agreement.
You know, Laisili, who is usually just as arrogant as Kelly, is like a younger eldest sister of the Phytophthora family, so her appeal is not a problem.
"I and other side members also fully support the decision of Lord Keqing and Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Gale and Kelly also stood up immediately and expressed their opinions.
Gale is the leading figure among the side members, and Lin is a member of the side line. As soon as his words came out, he immediately received a rush of response from all the side members present.
"The good reputation of Your Excellency the Guest Minister and Her Royal Highness the Princess has long been spread in the Cold Flame Kingdom. They have restored the power of the free farmers, punished the fallen nobles, and defended the decrees of His Majesty the Hero King. This is in line with what our Shangluc family has always upheld.
The concepts coincide.”
Old Thomas frowned and pondered for a while, then stood up with his staff and said: "I also support the choice of Your Excellency and Your Highness the Princess!"
Following Old Thomas's speech, those wavering neutral tribesmen all showed firm faces and also stood on Lei Xiao's side.
As a result, coupled with the supporters of elders such as Keen and Aiwen, most of the tribesmen present have already agreed with Lei Xiao's decision.
The last remaining ones were Thomas and the other five elders, as well as the tribesmen who originally supported Han Shui.
After realizing this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the leader Thomas, showing his intention to inquire.
Lei Xiao understood clearly, just like what he had thought before.
It is easy to deal with Thomas and others, but this will definitely give the Fourth Prince and his group an opportunity to incite his soldiers to stand against us.
Therefore, the best solution is naturally to appease Thomas and others first, let them be grateful, and then slowly boil the frog in warm water depending on the situation.
Only by doing this can one be able to completely control the entire Merchant Army without fail.
"We also agree with Your Excellency and Your Highness the Princess!"
Feeling Lei Xiao's gaze, Thomas immediately stood up, patted his chest and promised: "Your Excellency Keqing and Her Royal Highness the Princess saved the Shangluc family from danger. They are the reborn parents of the Shangluc family. We will do our best."
support!"
After Thomas finished speaking, several other elders and the tribesmen who originally supported Hanshui immediately joined in, even more enthusiastically than the other tribesmen.
I saw that on everyone's face, there was no arrogance and domineeringness before, only reverence and caution remained.
Everyone, including Thomas and the other five elders, understood clearly in their hearts.
Not long ago, they used their power to bully others, and they followed Han Shui's butt without scruples, scolding other tribesmen.
But now, Your Excellency Keqing and Her Royal Highness the Princess have taken the initiative, but instead of angering them, they treat each other with courtesy.
With such open minds, apart from doing their best to avenge their crimes and make meritorious deeds, how else can they repay them?
Under the grateful eyes of Thomas and others, Lei Xiao easily gained the approval of all the clan members present.
"Then it's decided. I declare that from now on, Lin Phytolacca will inherit the faith of the outstanding Phytolacca family heads of the past generations and become the new head of the Phytolacca family!"
After the Presbyterian Council voted unanimously again, Lei Xiao's solemn voice soon spread throughout the entire Patriarch's castle.
Of course, it is limited to the inside and outside of the Patriarch's castle. Furthermore, the absolute confinement barrier covering the entire Lion Heart City has not been lifted.
In other words, no one can spread the news that the Phytolacca family has changed.
As Lei Xiao's voice fell, cheers erupted one after another in the courtyard outside the owner's castle.
At this point, Lei Xiao has perfectly fulfilled his planned plan and successfully sent Lin to the throne of the Shanglu Family!
At the same time, this also means that Lei Xiao has gained control of the 250,000 Merchant Army, gaining valuable initiative for the final battle for the throne!
In the castle hall, Han Shui, who had been kicked off the family head's throne by Lei Xiao, was still cursing hysterically.
But because Jiang Li had cast a soundproof barrier, Lei Xiao was not disturbed by the noise.
After signaling Baron Polly to stop the mapping spell and temporarily cut off contact with the outside world, Lei Xiao smiled calmly at Lin and said: "Okay, the new head of the Merchant Family, prepare for the inaugural speech in a while."
"Lord, I didn't expect that you would let your subordinates sit in such an out-of-reach position."
Lin's body was trembling slightly, her fair face was still full of disbelief, and she murmured: "This is all just like a dream."
"Lin, what I promised you will definitely come true. You deserve these."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright, and he said to the excited female knight in front of him: "But as I once said, this position is high and carries heavy responsibilities. It is easy to monopolize power, but to truly control the Shanglu family
It will probably take a lot of effort to further develop and grow within a reasonable range and become a solid pillar around Ariel."
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely do their best!"
Lin had a solemn look on her face and nodded solemnly.
"I believe you will do well, and you are not fighting alone. You are also assisted by elders such as Gale, Kelly, Laisili, Polly, and Keen."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, his voice gradually became serious, and he continued to face Lin: "Next, there is one last question left."
After speaking, Lei Xiao's sharp eyes moved and finally fell on Han Shui, and he said calmly: "This guy once sent your parents to the point of no return. After Ye Cang obtained all the useful information, he handed over
It’s up to you to handle it.”
"As you command, Lord."
A hint of ice appeared on Lin's fair face, and she nodded heavily again: "This guy has done many evil things, and he also tried to kill the lord and the princess. It's time to usher in the end." a>vas
