Gawain once guessed that Wales was not greedy for the throne, but to be honest, he did not expect that the other party would do so thoroughly and go to such extremes.
He not only overthrew himself, but also destroyed the nobility rules inherited by Anzu for seven hundred years - the king is the lord of the lord, and the lord is an extension of the king.
As a person who broke this rule, he led the angry nobles to overthrow himself. When he steps down, Ansu's king-noble structure will also open an irreparable rift. This The system will become easy to destroy and difficult to recover.
Some people saw this, but they chose to remain silent. Some people did not see this. They were immersed in the strange passion brought about by overthrowing a king. There were also some more astute people, They noticed the undercurrent surging at the scene and the steel chariot of the Cecil people not far away.
A new era is coming - the old guard rejected this new era, but the new era is coming anyway.
Run over.
In full view of the public, Wales took off his crown calmly, and it was not until he handed the crown to the attendants beside him that the nobles and soldiers at the scene reacted and got a little excited. Commotion - People seemed to have a sense of reality at this moment, truly confirming that the king who had only stayed on the throne for eight days had lifted his royal power. After confirming this, some people became at a loss.
The king has stepped down...but what about the new king?
Badwin Franklin did not remain silent for long. Before the commotion spread, he took a step forward and raised the mithril plate in his hand.
"Now that the time has come, I will announce to you a special law that is passed down only between the Lord Protector and the royal family. This law was jointly formulated by the founding king Charles I and the original Lord Protector. , and was divided into several parts in the form of mithril contracts and sealed in the four realms. Both Grand Duchess Victoria Wilder and I can prove that this law is true and effective.
“This is an emergency succession bill, and the content is as follows. ——"
As this secret regulation that had been sealed for seven hundred years was announced, everyone at the scene widened their eyes.
This exceeded almost everyone's expectations. As expected.
Pairs of astonished eyes exchanged glances in the air. The crowd on the edge began to whisper uncontrollably, while the nobles in the center fell into a strange silence. Some people showed a pensive expression. Some people seemed to have some understanding, but no one questioned it.
Because knowing the current affairs has always been one of the virtues of the nobles, and with their keenness, they have already realized that today is destined to change. < /p>
“Today, the Morn bloodline has no direct heir available, and all the collateral branches are unable to bear the weight of the crown. The Ansu throne is vacant, and the first founding Duke is still alive. According to this emergency succession act, Grand Duke Gawain Cecil will automatically become the new king.
"Duke Cecil, you can take this oath."
Badwin held up theThe mithril plate was sent to Gawain, his eyes silently staring at the founding Duke in front of him.
Pairs of eyes in the square also raised their eyes, staring intently at the center of this scene.
Gawain smiled and reached out to the mithril oath: "Indeed, this country needs a protector and ruler now, otherwise it may not survive this winter..."
Listening to these words, the nobles in the square showed complicated smiles, and then they lowered their heads slightly one by one, hiding all the changes in their eyes, and were ready to cheer for the new king.
Gawain's hand lightly brushed against the mithril oath.
"But I have no intention of taking over the crown inherited from Charlie."
The solid mithril metal plate quietly turned into fine ash and drifted away in the wind.
The calmness on Duke Baldwin's face was broken. He looked at all this in shock and surprise. Even Victoria next to him couldn't help showing a look of shock on his face. He could only stand there The expression of Wales behind Gawain is still calm, with an imperceptible smile hidden at the corner of his mouth.
The nobles in the square waited for a long time with their heads lowered, but did not wait for Duke Baldwin's signal to cheer. They raised their heads in confusion, and finally saw the last scene of the powder floating in the wind. There were constant low-pitched exclamations.
Gawain rubbed his hands to remove the last bit of mithril powder from his fingertips, and turned his head to look at the square:
"Ansu's kingship ends, and it begins with Moen. Ending with Morn, it will end with dignity rather than an awkward continuation - the last king of Anzu held the country, and I hope you will remember that.
"This piece. The land will continue, this disaster will end, new shoots will grow from the burned land, but 'Ansu' has become history, and a new country will be established here to protect this land and this land People above, I hope you understand this.
“I promise that this process will be smooth and stable, and that this land will eventually be prosperous and powerful, and will never fall into chaos and decline. I also promise that all behaviors that disrupt order will be severely punished. This move is to protect the safety and rights of everyone.
“This is not a suggestion, but a notice, and I have clearly informed everyone on site. Next the opponents come out and take a step forward. ”
The sound of needle drops could be heard in the entire square. Only the chariots and magic combat soldiers of Cecil’s Legion were watching all this silently, without sadness or joy, and with good discipline.
After an unbearable silence that seemed as long as a century, Victoria suddenly said softly: "I support it. ”
Duke Baldwin glanced at the Duchess of the North.
The South is Cecil’s territory, the East has existed in name only, the North has expressed its allegiance, and most of the Holy Spirit Plains It is under the actual control of Cecil's Legion, and the royal capital is within the range of those war machines.
It makes no difference whether he supports it or not, not to mention Gawain. Cecil was already qualified to inherit the king's power, and what he is doing now is just taking this qualification a step further.
"I support it." The Grand Duke of the West took half a step forward and said in a deep voice.
Gawain nodded to the two guardian dukes, glanced at the crowd in the square, and smiled: "Very good, no one objects, then I will definitely fulfill my promise."
p>Then he said: "Since we are about to start a new history, we have a lot to do - please pack your bags as soon as possible and return to the royal capital. I will discuss how to do it with the two guardian dukes. How to restore order as soon as possible, how to formulate a national framework as soon as possible, and how to resume production as soon as possible. In addition, this crisis is far from over. I believe that as the main militants, we are not ready to relax yet." /p>
At the end, Gawain used the immediate crisis to briefly remind the nobles of the royal capital who were in a state of confusion. He was sure that this could cheer up these people temporarily and reduce the possibility of the next crisis. Confusion arises.
This drama unfolded in an unexpected way and ended in an unexpected way. The mighty team reorganized and headed towards the royal capital in the sinking sunset.
Cecil’s Legion has entered the city.
The mighty and awe-inspiring chariot tracks crushed the ancient stone pavement of Saint-Sunil. The knight walked at the front of the queue, with the holy light floating and the flag waving.
Citizens who had just survived the life-and-death crisis walked to both sides of the street. They surrounded the teams entering the city, saluting with curiosity and awe. Some people were frightened by the tanks making strange noises, and their faces turned pale. People were prostrate on the ground, and even more sallow-looking civilians and serfs were kneeling by the roadside, as if they were ready to kiss the boots and footprints of the magic combat soldiers at any time.
They are numb and passionate, joyful and fearful.
Amber and Gawain stood in the chariot together, half leaning out of the chariot (Amber stepped on the stool).
Looking at the scenes on both sides of the road and seeing those people prostrate on the ground, the half-elf lady couldn't help but frown: "You will make these people stand up in the future, right?"< /p>
"Of course, just like I did in the South."
"I know, I just confirmed it again..." Amber said softly, "I just feel a little panic... You actually took this step... Although the Government Affairs Department did make plans and various departments made preparations, I'm afraid no one expected it to happen so quickly."
Gao Wen looked at it. Looking at the slightly cute half-elf, he couldn't help but smile: "I said, I will fight to the royal capital."
Behind the team, Wales Morn turned around and looked back. Take a look at the towering city walls of Saint-Sunil.
That place was soaked in countless blood and experienced countless attacks.On the city wall that the soldiers had defended with their lives, a flag of King Ansu with a blue background and gold edge was slowly lowered.
The person who lowered the flag there was Cohen Loren, the head of the Royal Knights - this was the dignity left to the Morn royal family by Duke Cecil.
Beside Wales, Cromwell, the Earl of White Mountain, who was strong and gray-bearded, also looked back at the lowering of the royal flag, watching the flag be dyed with a hazy glow in the sunset. The light, watching it completely disappear on the city wall, Earl Baishan finally couldn't help but choked up: "Your Majesty, the king's flag has been lowered, I..."
"I am no longer the king," Wales He corrected himself, "A new flag will be raised. Earl Baishan, stand tall. You and your family are loyal to this country, and this country has not fallen."
Cromwell, Earl of White Mountain, who has dwarf ancestry and is very special among the many nobles of Anzu, took a gentle breath: "Salute to you."
The royal flag of Ansu was lowered, representing Sisi. Er's flag began to fly on the walls of Saint-Sunil. Although the framework of the new country had not yet been established and many matters such as the transfer of power had not really begun, the mere change of the flag was enough to convey a lot of information.
On the highest spire of Silver Castle, a figure wearing a lavender gauze skirt and a translucent veil on his face is quietly looking down at this "ancient" human royal city, looking down into the distance. Flag changes.
After a moment, Melita Pernia pressed her ear, and the pale golden communication interface appeared in front of her eyes.
“The kingship of Anzu has changed. Gawain Cecil will become the new owner of this country, but he does not seem to choose to inherit the title of King of Anzu, but wants to establish a more radical one. A new country."
The lines on the communication interface trembled, and a rustling sound with slight interference came from it: "...the change of kingship was expected...but he did not inherit the throne but chose to The end of the Anzu throne is surprising, but it is understandable. This human kingdom has been completely reshuffled, and it is much easier to paint on a blank piece of paper than to modify an old oil painting..."
Melita blinked: "How did my last report... go?"
The voices in the communication field were quiet for two seconds before saying with a sigh: "Commentary The committee finally decided to accept your statement and not pursue your unauthorized actions, but the chairman of the committee asked me to remind you privately."
Melita suddenly became nervous: "I will not deduct my salary. Right? ”
“…The chairman of the committee hopes that you won’t be so blatant next time you exploit a loophole, and at least describe the reason a little more tactfully, ‘Undertaking the freight business does not count as intervening in the war, because the freight is collected’ It's hard for everyone to write this kind of thing directly in the report. Did you really never get thrown to the ground when you were an egg?"
"The last sentence was also said by the chairman of the review?"< /p>
"That's what I said."
Melita breathed out and patted her chestMouth: "Oh, that's okay..."
A large number of Tallond's swear words seemed to come from the other side of the communicator immediately, but Melita Pernia had blocked these words that were not harmful to her. , she raised her head, glanced at the team that was gradually approaching Silver Castle, and then glanced at the cathedral not far away, which was still shrouded in holy light and looked like everything was normal, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"This generation of human beings...there are so many variables...
"But if you can use these variables to break free from the shackles, that would be good. ”
