Froreatly helped Orloss out

It wasn’t that the incidents had helped hi to happen regardless The true result of the Mills incident was that Orloss made up his mind and chose Halent as his successor

Since the successor had been determined, the other candidates naturally became unnecessary And so the burial ceremony transformed into a military ceremony—the numerous princes were “deeply influenced by Prince Mills’ exa in the o to the erous battles on the frontlines as only lowest-level ordinary soldiers to fight for our country”

And that was how these princes “volunteered” to join the military They becahtrain City’s frontlines—where it was a rinder—or the eastern battlefront in the newly foruard and becolorious frontline cannon fodder

Orloss didn’t take away all the princes’ hopes, however He didn’t publicize the fact that he had chosen Halent as his successor He even declared that Bardi’s next ereat military achievements He also allowed to each prince to take a est followers If they had sufficiently strong followers and could obtain enough combat achievements, perhaps the emperor position could still be theirs

Of course, Halent was the City Lord of Nightrain City He had a large squadron of Dragon Knights under him, while the other princes didn’t even have an entire combat squadron—for a prince to overturn the situation would be highly unlikely It would only be possible in theory

“da? I should have focusedoff all my co this”

Thanks to Orloss’s behind the scenes ht in such a manner

Of course, not all the princes were focused on obtaining the position of emperor Some of the princes had already become accomplished in other areas For example, the Thirty-Ninth Prince Aent was quite skilled as an artist He even financially supported many poor artists who couldn’t find other work, and was faave an order for him to become the vice chairman of the Bardi Artists association

Orloss’swas obvious It would be impossible for Prince Aent to beco a pampered prince for the rest of his life

From a certain standpoint, soent one With the allure of the emperor’s position, even the smartest youth would selectively becoht to becos instead

Of course, so to pre forced to become cannon fodder

Plenty of princes had connections with other factions and doency backup hts along with nuons escorted the princes to the frontlines, so

Only most—so a few still tried to resist? Did soht There were obviously some princes who viewed the e else The end result? Naturally, the “the Holy Church’s assassins” appeared again several more times Perhaps another mass burial ceremony would be required next month

When internal conflicts intensified to a certain degree, a typical political maneuver would be to focus the citizens’ attention on outside conflicts—this was cohtrain City would now receive the most reinforcements it had ever received One-fourth of all domain lords in Bardi sent their personal troops Several dozen princes and their followers arrived to become low-ranked commanders on the frontlines, and the newly-born Southern Sect took over the Holy Church’s job of fighting against the undead This was an opportunity for the Southern Sect to prove themselves to the world

Meanwhile, on the eastern front, Halent took his personal troops and an arainst the invading Holy Army

This seehtrain City, and the troops still guarding there were all his personal followers, so as he sent to the other battlefront? Didn’t this see at random?

This seemed inexplicable, but it was actually si This was, in fact, due to non-military considerations

The current Halent was no longer just a “general” who could be allowed to charge into battle at the frontlines He was now the “crown prince” and a critical pillar of the country Unlike senerals, major countries preferred consistency and authority So-called face meant concrete benefits Since Halent was now the crown prince and would inherit the throne, he was indispensable He couldn’t be allowed to lose a battle or die in war

Orloss couldn’t afford to let Halent fight a losing battle, either Otherwise, it could cause a chain reaction that would lead to the dia e This was especially so since the do for an opportunity If the royalty suffered any losses in battle, those with ambitions would naturally act

That hy, for alllike personally go out into coh the ereatly increase morale, there was also the consideration that if the emperor lost, or was taken captive, a terrible chain reaction would occur

That’s right—lose Although the southern battlefront against the undead received far more manpower than the eastern battlefront, there was the possibility that the Undead Eht intervene Plus, the previous battle there involved the a powerful titan Giants and True Gods, which obviously escalated the level of the Holy War Even though the Bardi aruarantee of victory

Meanwhile, on the eastern front, although a fahtened after being attacked by the dragons They were also stuck deep within Bardi, with their backup support and communication cut off Plus, the royalty sent out their elite squadrons and ace job class soldiers—if Halent still couldn’t win, his gilded position as crown prince would no longer be his

Actually, when I heard that Halent’s aron World leaders and ons, I knew that there would be no possibility of hi—even if he wanted to

“Don’t ons won’t allow hi enemies in the east that have already been so weakened, he can continue to the south and steal more combat achievements If the princes lose in the south, it’s the perfect chance for Halent to arrive in the nick of time and save the country in a perfect reversal There’s no need to worry that Halent won’t have enough forces at his disposal Orloss will definitely activate the full ht of Bardi if the southern front loses The true foundational strength of ato behold”
