"Huh?" The 10th prince, Misad Taft, was dumbfounded when he heard Li Huailin's words. He couldn't keep up with Li Huailin's train of thought. What did Li Huailin mean by 'one of our own'? Before he could figure it out, Li Huailin couldn't wait any longer.
"Damn idiot. His reaction is too slow. It's a waste of my time. Men, hack him to death." Li Huailin waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, yes. He's one of our own. He's one of our own." Misad saw Bruno walking towards him and immediately said. He didn't care what Bruno meant. It was good enough that he was still alive. The rest could wait until his army arrived.
"Really? We're one of our own?" Li Huailin nodded. "Very good. It's good that you're one of our own. Alright, you can ascend the throne now."
"Ascend the throne?" Misad didn't know what to do. Of course, he wanted to be the emperor, but the problem was that he couldn't ascend the throne now. If he were to ascend the throne with Li Huailin's support, he would be a fake emperor. When the Crown Prince, who was also the Crown Prince, returned, he would be killed. He didn't have the power that the Crown Prince had. If the Crown Prince wanted to kill him, it would be a piece of cake.
"No, no, no. I can't ascend the throne," Misad said hurriedly. "I can't …"
"Really? What a waste of my time. "Li Huailin waved his hand." Men … "
"I'll ascend … I'll ascend …" Misad was terrified when he saw Bruno walking towards him. Although the Crown Prince would definitely look for him after he ascended the throne, if he didn't register now, he would die immediately. What should he do? Although he was going to die anyway, he felt that it was better to live for a while. He might have a chance to retaliate later. In any case, he knew that Li Huailin was someone who would kill without batting an eyelid. His elder brother, the First Prince, might still be able to survive if his mother put in a few good words for him. After all, his siblings were watching and they could all prove that he was forced to do so. It wasn't like he wanted to.
"If you want to wait, then hurry up and log in. Don't waste time, okay?" Li Huailin also said fiercely. "Men, hurry up and get ready."
On the other side, the Royal Guards were preparing to counterattack. Yes, there were still many troops in the main city. It was just that their reaction was a little slow. After all, their captain had been killed by Li Huailin in an instant. Without their captain, they didn't know what to do. It was only when the emperor gave the order that they organized their troops to fight back. Of course, this organization wasted a lot of time, and the reason was that they didn't have a leader. With great difficulty, they were ready to return to the palace when another shocking piece of news arrived.
The palace had just issued a new imperial edict. The original emperor, Taft, had passed away due to a sudden illness. At the same time, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the ninth prince had also passed away due to a sudden illness. Due to the urgent situation of being attacked by the enemy and the absence of the First Prince, the Tenth Prince, Misard, was temporarily registered as the Xos Empire's 31st emperor.
The second imperial edict was from the newly appointed Tenth Prince, Misard, who was now the new emperor, officially announced the empire's defeat. The Xos Empire surrendered to the Continental Alliance and pledged allegiance to them.
Both imperial edicts were issued by the palace and stamped with the Emperor's seal. However, everyone knew that they weren't written by the real emperor. Who were you trying to fool? Their emperor had just suddenly died. How could it be possible that the six princes had also died at the same time? This was too fake.
Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence knew what was going on. The invaders had killed their emperor and six princes, then supported the Tenth Prince to ascend to the throne. Now, they were preparing to take control of the entire empire. Who the hell would fall for this? Did they think that just because they found someone to be the emperor, we'd recognize them?
"F * ck, do they think we're idiots?" Lavinson threw the imperial edict to the ground. "Ignore him! Continue advancing! Attack the palace!"
Lavinson was the temporary commander of the royal guards. Because their captain had mysteriously disappeared, the emperor had no choice but to order one of his aides, Lavinson, to take over the position. Lavinson guessed that their captain had already died. Now that he had taken over as the temporary commander, it was very likely that he would be the next captain. That was great. As long as he helped the emperor solve this problem, he would undoubtedly be promoted.
In the end, the other adjutants refused to cooperate. Fortunately, he had the imperial edict in hand. After urging the troops to set off with great difficulty, he received this kind of news. It seemed that His Majesty had been killed, and this was not a good thing. Yet, the other party was so arrogant as to clone the Puppet Prince. This was not giving him any face at all.
Lavinson was really angry now. He immediately ordered the troops to attack the palace. However, the deputy next to him came over and said, "Should we continue to reinforce the palace?"
"Of course. What else do you want?" Lavinson asked.
"In what name?" the deputy next to him asked.
"In what name?" Lavinson was stunned at first, but then he suddenly understood that the situation had changed. Yes, they had received the old emperor's order to reinforce the palace. But now that the old emperor was dead, the new emperor's order was to surrender. If they surrendered, what reason did they have to attack the palace? But after thinking for a while, Lavinson quickly said, "The Tenth Prince must have been forced. Let's hurry and save him."
"Okay, you're the captain. We'll listen to you," the deputy said in a strange tone.
The 15,000 Royal Guards rushed to the entrance of the palace, but something unexpected happened. They thought that they would be greeted by the enemy's army. After all, they had heard that the enemy had a lot of troops, or at least the same as them. But they didn't expect that when they reached the gate of the palace, they didn't encounter any snipers. The enemy seemed to have disappeared.
After entering the palace, they finally saw people. The first person they saw was the Tenth Prince, Misard, who was still sitting on the throne. Aside from him, there were a few ministers.
When Ravensen saw Misard, he was shocked because Misard's current appearance was very bad. His face was swollen, and he almost didn't look human. His nose was also bleeding. It took him a lot of effort to recognize that this was the Tenth Prince, the one who just said that he would ascend the throne. No matter what, seeing that Misard was fine, Lavinson quickly said, "Your Highness, you're frightened. Where are the enemies? Where is the emperor? Where are the others? "
"What enemies?" Misard's attitude didn't look too good when he saw Lavinson. "You're the royal guards? Who sent you here? Didn't I send an imperial edict to tell you that the war is over? What's the meaning of you coming here? "
"Huh?" Lavinson was stunned. He looked at Misard's attitude. What's going on? It seemed like … he wasn't being held hostage. Could it be … Lavinson asked tentatively, "Excuse me, Your Majesty …"
"Father is dead. I'm the new emperor now." Misard waved his hand and said, "Take your troops and leave immediately. Go back to your station."
"Huh? Your Highness, I received the emperor's order to protect the palace. The enemies should still be in the palace, right? "Lavinson immediately said.
"I already said that there are no enemies," Misard immediately said. Her Highness immediately said, "Lord Huailin has been so kind to me, and I sincerely want to join him. How could there be any enemies?"
Yes, from the looks of it, Misard had been taught a lesson by Li Huailin's love. After Misard surrendered, he was classified as Li Huailin's subordinate. After being tortured, Misard was deeply touched by Li Huailin's kindness. Originally, he planned to betray Li Huailin once the reinforcements arrived. However, Misard didn't want to do that now. He thought about how nobody loved him, and even his father didn't think much of him. Yet, for the first time in his life, he felt that someone was so nice to him, even hanging his beloved mother in front of him. Misard was deeply touched.
After that, Li Huailin told Misard to be the emperor and that Li Huailin would support him. Originally, Misad wouldn't believe Li Huailin's nonsense. But now, he believed that Li Huailin wouldn't lie to him. After all, his Favorability towards Li Huailin was high. Therefore, he cooperated with Li Huailin and began to issue the imperial edict.
Of course, he was willing to cooperate if the Royal Guards wanted to return. Compared to the Royal Guards, he trusted Li Huailin more. Of course, he was willing to listen to Li Huailin.
"Your Highness!" Lavinson was anxious. He didn't know what was going on. After thinking about it, he quickly said, "No matter what, let us first …"
"Shut up!" Misard was angry and interrupted Lavinson's words. "I will ask you one question now. If I ask you to return, will you listen or not? I am the new emperor of the Empire. My words are the imperial edict. If you don't listen to me, are you trying to commit treason?"
"…" Lavinson was stunned. Yes, he realized a problem. If Misard didn't cooperate, how could he return? This matter suddenly became a little difficult to handle.
