For thousands of years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chunhui Empire has always been proud of the rest of the world. Every person in this country is full of pride and would never dream of the day it would be destroyed.
However, the 'Central Dynasty', which had vowed to unify the human race a few years ago, fell into division due to the death of the king. Two ambitious princes both wanted to become kings - this happened in the past, when a prince retreated to Xiye
, but now it is impossible.
The two princes have equal power, and neither one is willing to give in. What is even more worrying is that now the guardian is old and weak, and no one has been specifically appointed. Unlike other countries, it is no longer a secret that the guardian of the Chun clan's royal power is. She is
Spring's sister was deeply hurt when Spring died suddenly a few years ago, and now she has no strength.
This guardian is the one who decides the next legitimate king, and both princes are waiting for her to reveal their names.
This evening, they returned to the palace in Yichun, the imperial capital after a long absence. The people on both sides of the hall exuded murderous auras and were on guard against each other. The two princes involved stood in the middle, looking at each other with a smile on their faces.
"Long time no see...Brother Wang, I heard that refugees are rioting in the west and malaria is rampant. Brother Wang, please take care of yourself!" As a younger brother, Chunyan did not show any respect for his elder brother.
As his elder brother, Chunfeng sneered, unwilling to be outdone: "It's okay here, but it's been freezing recently. Brother Wang lives by the sea, so he has to be careful not to be blown away by the storm..."
"Brother Wang, don't worry. Compared with being surrounded by enemies on all sides, a small storm is nothing to worry about."
"It's a good thing that Brother Wang is so open-minded, but there is little cultivated land in the east. I also heard that some of Brother Wang's ships disappeared during the day. How are we going to survive this winter?"
"you……"
The two people were arguing and sarcastic at each other, until an old woman slowly walked in from the door of the hall with a cane.
"Aunt!" "Aunt..."
The two brothers saluted respectfully. They had respected the old woman since childhood, but the reason was only because of her status as a 'guardian'. Tonight, she asked the separated brothers to return to the imperial capital, perhaps making the final decision.
Who is the orthodox ruler of Chunhui? This is the answer that everyone in the hall wants to know. In fact, this answer will not make the situation optimistic. The two princes have already formed their own political power. Even if one party is recognized, then
The other side will also resist to the end.
What the guardian brought was just in name—perhaps because she knew this. There was no joy on the face of the old woman who walked in. Instead, it was so deep that one could not tell what she was thinking.
"I think you should know the purpose of why I asked you to come tonight." With the support of the maid, she slowly sat next to the suspended throne, which was a seat specially set for her.
The old woman put her crutch next to her and glanced at the nobles and ministers who were divided into two groups in the entire hall. The atmosphere of loyalty to one king had disappeared. All this was due to the death of Spring.
[Those damn guardian beasts!]
With hatred and anger, the old woman gritted her teeth. Then she looked at the two princes: "The royal power of the Chun family cannot continue to hang in vain. However, His Majesty did not make sufficient arrangements before his death, so I can only appoint it.
"
The hall fell silent for a moment. Eyes of expectation and fear focused on the old woman, but she said with enough appetite: "But you are all outstanding. No matter what choice I make, it is unfair, so I decided to turn the royal power into a
A trial is awarded to the winner."
The word "trial" made the hall become noisy again. Chunfeng and Chunyan couldn't help but feel disappointed, but they also felt lucky that at least the throne had not been decided yet.
"Aunt, what kind of trial is that?"
"Yes, aunt, I will definitely complete the trial well."
The two princes raised new expectations and questions, realizing that the next trial would determine everything, and both of them planned to go all out to complete it.
The old woman looked at these two pairs of lustful eyes and sighed, like father, like son. Spring is also a person full of ambition, but his ambition may not be an ambition that these two princes can understand.
"The Vampires, those monsters have begun to invade us. You have to repel them. Whoever gets more achievements... can become the new king."
There is no other trial that can convince the public better than this one. It can not only protect the people but also decide the king. The old woman thinks this is the fairest method. She looked around the nobles in the hall, and the looks in their eyes were as she expected.
, no one questions it.
But when she looked at the two young princes, the expressions on their faces formed a layer of ice in the old woman's heart.
"Aunt, this is not fair! If too many troops are spent to repel the vampires, the person who wins the throne will be weaker than the other one, and he will definitely overthrow the throne!"
"Yes, aunt! You should try another way!"
Neither Chunfeng nor Chunyan agreed to this trial. They were not fools. It was impossible not to see the danger that the Chunhui Empire was facing. But at this time, they were still wary of their brothers and put aside the threat of the vampires.
The old woman angrily picked up the crutch and hit the ground, making a snapping sound: "What do you want to change! If the aliens invade, can't you work together to deal with them first?"
Chunfeng glanced at Chunyan, with obvious distrust on his face: "Aunt, even if I believe him, he will definitely cheat in the middle!"
"Brother Wang, do you think so yourself?"
Chun Yan raised his eyebrows in disgust, then bowed to the old woman and said: "Aunt, why should I worry about the vampires? They are few in number. As long as my aunt hands me the throne, I will immediately send troops to eradicate them!"
"No, aunt, as long as you hand over the throne to me... I promise to let the vampires get out within three days."
The spring breeze may make a promise.
Their self-confidence comes from their huge army. Even though they have been damaged, each prince has millions of soldiers under his command, which is several times that of the Xiye Vampire Clan. No matter how powerful the Vampire Clan is, they still have the confidence to drive out Chunhui.
However, the old woman does not trust anyone. As long as she gives away the throne, the first thing these two people will do is kill each other, leaving the vampires to reap the benefits.
"You guys underestimate the vampires too much, or do you have some shady trump card?" The old woman's heart tightened, and she suddenly became nervous: "Are you still connected with the demons?"
If this is the case, the Chunhui Empire will really be doomed this time. Their enemies will not only be the vampires, but also the guardian beasts.
"Idiot, didn't His Majesty ask you to cut off all contact with them before he died!" The old woman swayed and couldn't help but feel dizzy: "Even Your Majesty was extremely careful when dealing with them, and in the end the gain outweighed the gain..."
"Can you be more powerful than His Majesty?" (To be continued...)
