Chapter 1202: An Unexpected Draw (1/2)

However, the lead was s in the grand schee that small could disappear in an instant

But still, there was a great deal of excitement from Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s side The four monarchs were quite appreciative of the poll’s evenness They were very clear that many of the Sacred Peafowl Mountain supporters were people who had received favors from Emperor Peafowl A few neutral vassals filled out the remainder of their ranks, either out of adoration for E lord Zhen

It took less than an hour for the eight hundredth vote to be called The present situation deepened Ee re lord Zhen in a roould render everything equal The aer maintain his composure when it ca Dragon and Void were both gratified and anxious They were gratified that young lord Zhen had remained so hot on Emperor Shura’s heels, but their anxiety came froap? Could he possibly even overtake his rival and win?

But truthfully speaking, whether young lord Zhen won or lost today no longer mattered Sacred Peafowl Mountain was already a winner today That a young lord under such disadvantageous circumstances was able to tie with someone as powerful as Emperor Shura… this was itself a for lord Zhen had very shallow foundations in the city His name had been known for scarcely a decade, and his position as Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s young lord had only been adopted for a few The young lord essentially had nothing to lose Even if he lost now, he had a bright future ahead

But if he happened to win, it would greatly embarrass Emperor Shura After all, the eether this Vassal Meeting in order to clear the way for his own rise An eleventh-hour failure would be a fully-powered, self-delivered slap to the face

One by one, E votes

When there were only five tokens re, Emperor Shura’s lead narrowed by yet another vote There was now only a one vote difference The suspense became the thickest in the final votes

“A vote for Emperor Shura!”

The fifth-from-last vote was Emperor Shura’s This relieved his tense nerves soain If he was able to secure just two of the re Emperor Shura was reasonably certain of his chances there

“A vote for young lord Zhen!” The fourth-to-last went over to Jiang Chen

Emperor Shura felt like he’d been drenched with a bucket of ice-cold water His just-settled mind was disturbed once more

“A vote for Emperor Shura!” Thankfully, the third-last was his

His lead becaain There were only two votes left Elittered If just one of the last tas his, he would be the victor!

E token in Emperor Petalpluck’s hands Hedesire evident on his face In that moment, he wanted E else

Unfortunately for hi Chen “A vote for young lord Zhen,” Emperor Petalpluck called out

Only the final vote re that this election came down to the thinnest wire If the last vote was Emperor Shura’s, he would be declared the new ruler of Veluriya lord Zhen’s, then the election would result be a tie

Emperor Petalpluck’s arm tensed as he reached for the last jade slip How could he not, when it decided the city’s future?

Light gleamed in Emperor Shura’s eyes He stared feverishly at the object in Emperor Petalpluck’s hands If he could, he would’ve pounced to write his name upon it He desired the win far too et about his resentreed, but hadn’t actually voted for hi to?

Elanced at the jade slip His custoone, an expression of seriousness and sole lord Zhen!”
