Chapter 1102 (1/2)
A burst of broken porcelain sounded one after another, followed by the sound of something falling on the ground.
All the sounds came from a room.
There were dozens of people standing outside the room, more than half of them were contract soldiers with cold and cold looks, but their eyes were lifeless. The rest were mainly servants, but there were also several people with embarrassed faces. These embarrassed people were all dressed in luxurious clothes. Although the style was not the most popular luxury style in Wangdu, it belonged to the more retro style of killing.
Only the nobles in the north of the kingdom will wear this style.
After the cremation ceremony, they wanted to go back to their residence to make up for sleep. After all, they were all noble lords. Naturally, they needed some nightlife. Even the more pragmatic northern nobles wanted to relax when they came to Wangdu. But they didn't want to. They had just fallen asleep. They were summoned by Adams's urgent order. When they came in a hurry, they only heard the sound from the study.
I want to know with my toes that Adams was venting his anger in his study. None of them, the northern nobles, wanted to die at this time. Therefore, although they looked embarrassed, they preferred to wait outside. Just to make them curious, why did Adams get angry after the old king's cremation ceremony? Logically speaking, even if we can't get the support of the Kingdom's acting military and political parliament, we shouldn't be so angry.
The so-called acting military and Political Council of the kingdom is a kind of Kingdom independent operation mechanism created by the first king of Ryan kingdom. Its purpose is to prevent the confusion and division of the Kingdom's government affairs caused by the former king's failure to designate a successor. In addition, the acting military and Political Council of the Kingdom has the power to inspect and evaluate all royal children in order to determine the candidate for the next successor to the throne. In order to prevent the power of the acting military and Political Council of the kingdom from dumping the government and the opposition, splitting and changing the Kingdom of lane, the law also limits the executive power of this parliamentary body to only one year.
In other words, the acting military and Political Council of the kingdom must determine the next successor to the throne within one year.
In the hundreds of years since the establishment of Ryan Kingdom, the acting military and political Parliament of the Kingdom has been launched twice, and this is the third time. This is also the fundamental reason why the old king died without specifying an heir, and the three princes and princesses competed for the right of inheritance without causing civil strife in the kingdom.
The acting military and Political Council of the kingdom is composed of eight people, four of whom are real aristocrats who have won the title of ”national pillar and important minister” in government affairs, and four of whom are powerful aristocrats who have won the trust and dependence of the king in military affairs. The list was drawn up by the current king himself, because it is urgent for the future of the Kingdom, and the characters on the list are also constantly tested and tested. Therefore, a special person will ask the current king whether to modify the list every other year.
If Sean had not given the name of Duke, he would actually be on this list.
Since the end of the cremation ceremony of Engels Ryan, the government affairs of the kingdom of Ryan have been temporarily transferred to the active acting military and Political Council. No matter the eldest prince Adams, the third prince Arlan and the fourth Princess fergies, they all have a year to compete to become the next sitter on the throne.
Therefore, they naturally do not want to make any mistakes in order to be caught by other competitors, so as to eliminate themselves from the ranks of competitors.
But at this time, the big prince Adams made a mistake, which made arrogance such as how he could calm down.
In the study, as expected by the people outside, Adams was destroying things to vent his pent up anger.
The whole study, as if it had been damaged by a typhoon with a magnitude of more than 10 and an earthquake, whether it was bookshelves or vases and bronze statues placed in the room, all had been dropped, or broken into pieces or rotten iron. Even many precious books, scrolls and picture books have been scattered on the ground, many of which have been torn or missing corners. I'm afraid anyone skilled in art will scold and hide his anger when he sees this scene.
”You mean you can be solved with two swords by Sean Connery's men?” Adams once again swept all the remaining things on the desk to the ground with a wave of his hand, and then drank in a deep voice and asked, ”didn't you say that woman is not your opponent
Lauren, who had been beheaded by Alexis before intercepting Sean, stood intact in the study. Although he didn't wear the heavy armor that had been broken by Alexis, and he didn't carry the heavy sword behind his back, his neck was also not cut off by Alexis. No matter how he looked, Lauren didn't look like he was hurt at all.
But only Adams and Lauren themselves knew that he had indeed died once at the hands of Alexis.
It was only because of the role of the contract and oath that Lauren was resurrected afterwards, and then led the twelve subordinates back to the king's capital - not only Lauren was not dead, but also the twelve soldiers he brought were resurrected like Lauren. It is said that when several ordinary people saw the resurrection of these soldiers, they were immediately scared crazy and thought that some undead creature appeared.
Facing Adams' roar, Lauren could only bear it silently with her head down.
For a long time, after Adams' anger subsided slightly, Lauren said, ”I seriously underestimated the strength of that woman and brought trouble to your highness. Your highness, please punish me for my incompetence. ”
”Punishment?” Adams laughed angrily. ”Is it any use for me to punish you!? And if I punish you now, I will only give my good brother and sister the opportunity to rise, which is not good for me! ” After a vent, Adams finally calmed down a little: ”the most important thing now is how many people know about it? And what will that Sean do? ”
”It's better for my subordinates to immediately lead the oath army to attack, and then...” Lauren made a move to wipe his neck.
Adams glanced at Lauren and said coldly, ”how sure do you think you are? As you said, that woman has at least the strength close to level 14, and may even be close to the peak of level 14. In this case, even if you give you 2000 sworn soldiers, you can only keep her invincible. If you really want to solve your opponent, at least you need the help of a legendary strong man Do you think Elizabeth could help you? ”
Lauren looked down and said nothing.
”Go and let them in.” Adams said in a deep voice.
Lauren quickly turned to open the door and let the northern nobles in. After all the northern nobles entered the room, they all chose to turn a blind eye to the mess on the ground, as if the room was unusually empty and tidy, so even if there were some precious scroll picture books on the ground, they stepped on it without squinting.
”I won't hide it from you.” Seeing these northern nobles who are really his confidants, Adams also got up from the chair behind the desk and said in a deep voice, ”because of the intelligence mistake, I have committed a stupid thing, which is likely to bring trouble to me and you Therefore, I need you to return to the North immediately and mobilize your troops to prepare for war. ”
”Prepare for war?” A northern aristocratic general frowned, ”who are you fighting with?”
”Duke void.” Adams said in a deep voice, ”today, after the cremation ceremony, I asked Lauren to intercept the Archduke. I wanted to ask him to help me investigate the mysterious death of my father, but I didn't want Archduke void to refuse to cooperate. Therefore, Lauren had a battle with Archduke void's followers as a last resort, and finally Archduke void escaped.”
Hearing this, several northern nobles immediately changed their faces.
