Chapter 681 Buffer Period

The breakthrough of the fourth princess, Osphia, disrupted all the arrangements of the eldest prince.

For the eldest prince, even if the other princes and princesses had breakthroughs, it would not be as difficult for him as the fourth princess’ breakthrough.

After all, the other party has too many similarities with the Emperor Gloria thousands of years ago. He suddenly broke through to the ninth level at this critical juncture, which shows that he was well prepared.

Female, fourth in line, with blue eyes, and a face somewhat similar to Gloria the Great, she is much more politically correct than him.

After breaking through the ninth level, the fourth princess openly went to the tombs of the emperors of all dynasties, using the excuse of having broken through the ninth level, to meet the three royal guardians who were guarding the mausoleum and the royal bloodline crystal.

The result this time was exactly the opposite of the eldest prince. The Star Guardian showed a great fondness for the fourth princess, while the Heart of Darkness became cold, and Gray still looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Walking out of the plane gate of the royal mausoleum, the fourth princess Osvia was in a good mood.

Her own strength broke through to the ninth level, and she successfully gained the support of a royal guardian. Most of the tricks that the eldest prince could use on her had become completely ineffective.

At this moment, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and her blue eyes looked towards the side of the royal back garden.

In the direction she was looking, there was a small lake as clear as a sapphire, and along the lakeside there was a white stone corridor in the classical elf style leading to a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

In the shadow of the relief columns, the eldest prince Ferdinand, dressed in a golden robe, stood there quietly, looking at her deeply with his dark golden eyes.

When their eyes met, it seemed as if a flash of lightning flashed through the air.

Looking at the silent eldest prince, the fourth princess raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled silently, while gracefully bending her knees and lifting her skirt, just as she had done countless times when she met the eldest prince in the past.

“…”

Silently watching the Fourth Princess turn and leave, the eldest prince reached into his arms with a gloomy expression and held a light black crystal ball.

The crystal ball lit up slightly, and a short string of information was transmitted into his mind, as if it was a silent mockery of him.

[The interception operation failed, the target was just a substitute. ]

"What a bunch of trash, forget it... If this level of action can really achieve the goal, then she would not be my fourth sister who is often compared with Emperor Gloria."

Suppressing his anger, the eldest prince Ferdinand also turned and left.

He originally wanted to stop the fourth princess from entering the royal mausoleum, but he was still a step too late.

As the Fourth Princess came into contact with the Guardians and won the favor of the Star Guardians, it was now difficult for him to secretly eliminate the Fourth Princess.

Then, if they want to take that position, they can only compete with the comprehensive strength of their subordinates and the number of ninth-level supporters.

After several days of open and covert fighting, finally, under the influence of the will of the three guardians, the eldest prince and the fourth princess created a strange "House of Lords" mechanism.

The House of Lords is composed of nine princes and princesses, who temporarily take charge of national affairs. The eldest prince and the fourth princess have veto power.

If the eldest prince and the fourth princess have different opinions on a certain matter and cannot reach an agreement through discussion, the three guardians will make the final decision.

This situation occurred, and the eldest prince and the fourth princess were fighting out of helplessness.

Although Gloria III is currently missing, she is not dead after all. Therefore, the two princes and princesses do not dare to really start a bloody purge and then ascend the throne to become emperor.

After all, the disappearance of Gloria III 'Breakthrough Legend' is only a guess at this point, and no one knows what the circumstances are.

What if he could come back? Would the victor personally send his father back? Although the princes and princesses might not mind doing it for them, the three guardians finally decided to give Gloria III a three-year buffer period.

During these three years, many princes and princesses must work hard to demonstrate their value, learn how to manage the empire, and develop their own manpower throughout the empire so as to ensure a peaceful handover in the future.

If Gloria III can successfully return during these three years, everything will return to normal.

If the emperor is still missing after three years, he can only be treated as an accidental death. At the same time, the royal descendant with the "best performance" within these three years will become the next emperor of the empire. . ….….In the City Lord's Mansion in Silver Star City.

"Have you completed the statistics? How much have we lost?"

Sitting behind the desk belonging to the city lord's adjutant, Avis, wearing a [Levin Boley] vest, asked casually after reviewing the documents delivered by Annie herself.

"Sir Boli, our situation is not optimistic."

Standing beside the desk with a serious expression, Anne calmed herself down and recalled the tragic conditions of the city that she had personally investigated before.

“Since Silver Star City was protected by the family’s guardian, His Majesty, the main body was not damaged, but the number of registered citizens who died directly in the war was around 3,000.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

More than 20,000 citizens suffered from varying degrees of mental problems due to the battles of their Lordships, and the number of deaths of foreigners could not be counted.

The Iron Forge City was hit by the aftermath of an attack by a His Majesty. The southwest area of ​​the city and the west side of the Maodun District were completely wiped out, and about 7,000 citizens were missing...

The Black Rock City's protective formation was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the Crown Princes, and then it was looted by several high-level professionals who hid their identities. Some buildings in the city were damaged, and the number of casualties was about 1,100..."

Anne carefully observed Avis's expression as she reported the war damage statistics of various major cities.

However, until she finished reporting all the damage, Avis remained calm.

"very good."

Looking at Anne who was looking at him nervously, Anvis smiled and sent her away casually.

On the night when the Songxing Secret Cult attacked, the two major families finally won the victory with great difficulty.

The three apostles of the Songxing Esoteric Cult were not considered strong among the ninth-level ones. Relying on the layers of protective magic arrays, the two guardians were able to handle the situation with ease at first, and even had time to be on guard against other hidden ninth-level enemies.

But after realizing that they could not break through the enemy's defense, one of the apostles activated the [God's Descent] and transformed into a dark green sun.

At that moment, the ball of light even gave Avis a bit of the oppressive feeling of the terrifying holy light figure in his memory.

Then, the situation took a turn for the worse. Layers of protective magic arrays shattered like bubbles, and the two ninth-level guardians also had a hard time resisting.

The family's ninth-rank [Silver Storm] Esvel Olivendi tried to launch a sneak attack on the apostle in the [God's Descent] state, but was unfortunately hit by the opponent's strange attack. He died because he could not withstand the burning of the dark green flames.

Fortunately, when the defense line of the two ninth-level guardians was about to be broken, the apostle's divine descent time could not be maintained, and his body completely collapsed into a ball of green flame, otherwise the defense line might really be broken.
