Chapter 1205: Trump Cards (1/2)

E lord Zhen was an annoying pest But before convening the Vassal Meeting, he’d also been sure that the throne was as good as his without Ens had pointed to it

Soardless of how brilliant helord was perhaps a bitBut, at the end of the day, he was just another young genius How could someone like that stand up to an e?

But harsh reality lay cruelly before hi lord Zhen had fortified Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s position He was actually pressing towards Eradual advance If the emperor made one misstep, it was quite likely that his machinations would fail entirely

With what he’s been doing so far, is he truly aall this to play up to the vassals and put ht?

The ah he verbally opposed the suggestion, he knew deep down that young lord Zhen’s proposal was both suitable and well-received The standstill forced Emperor Petalpluck to intercede

“Please, you two If we leave everything to the vassals, then there really will be no end in sight So let me put in an impartial word In order to decide a victory or loss between the candidates, there must be an odd number of rounds Five, seven, nine, and so on Only then can the result be clear-cut Since both of you say that your factions’ fortune and resourcefulness are being tested, I wouldn’t recommend a one-on-one competition just between the two of you Instead, why not pick out a few candidates from either side and compete in a variety of fields? That would be a much better display of intrinsic superiority”

The vassals showed overwhelreement with the kindly e to watch a competition between two people We need ood show”

“Why not send out five people froood The ment!”

“Why do it any other way? And the more rounds, the better!” The crowd had becoain However, the vassals who raised their voices this time were mostly the ones who’d voted to abstain

There were a fair few a Sacred Peafowl Mountain’s supporters as well, since they understood that young lord Zhen’s youthfulness would suffer in an even match with Emperor Shura The more participants and rounds there were, the e

Shura’s supporters were understandably unenthusiastic Their biggest asset was E superiority If that asset’s usefulness was negated, then the Shura Retreat wouldn’t be able to overcouaranteed reliability

Unfortunately for theroups in the crowd drowned out their voices Plus, many of his supporters had voted because of temporary or emotional reasons

Now that there was a show to be had, they were more than happy to make some noise in support, not that they could openly express that sentiment, of course Instead, they settled for the passive strategy of staying quiet

E fro fire burned in his heart He hadn’t thought that the Vassal Meeting would come anywhere close to this point It was supposed to have been a piece of cake, but the delicacy had bloay in a gale The emperor felt absolutely miserable

As he e from Eht forward and feel free to add a couple extra pill dao rounds My Pillfire City has handed you several cards already Why not play a few of theht in the darkness, shi+ning on new hope to the desperate eame He hadn’t wanted to use them before now because of his natural wariness for E the ruler of a rival city was like inviting wolves into one’s ho thirst with poison But nohat other recourse did he have?

Hoould he have gotten rid of Emperor Peafowl if he hadn’t requested help fro the throne for himself would’ve be a pipe dream Today’s similarly critical situation required him to use the resources that he really hadn’t wanted to use
