"Your Majesty!"

Anno came to the meeting hall under the guidance of the soldiers and bowed slightly to the old man on the throne.

"Are you Baron Anno?"

Priss looked at Anno sideways and found that Anno's eyes were a little creepy, and frowned unconsciously.

"A mere baron is qualified to enter the royal palace meeting room?"

At this time, in the conference hall, besides the nobles of the two factions, there were also ministers of the kingdom.

The rank of Baron is the lowest in the field.

But a baron is also a lord.

Before Priss, no one dared to say that Annuo's status was too low to enter the council chamber.

Regarding Anno, someone had already given Priss the relevant information.

However, the highest evaluation of Annuo's combat power in these intelligence reports was that he defeated two level seven fighters alone!

This was the record that Anno achieved when Simmons asked someone to fight against him.

Moreover, the intelligence also said that An Nuo was an extraordinary genius.

In just one year, he participated in several famous wars and his strength broke through to the seventh level.

There is no doubt that Anno is a very promising opponent.

Even if he was reluctant, Priss had to admit that if Anno was given enough time to grow, it would be a matter of time before he surpassed him.

But knowing in his heart that Anno was an extremely strong opponent did not stop Priss from verbally belittling him.

Anno glanced at Priss and found that the other party was able to advance to the eighth level, which showed that he was indeed capable.

There are a lot of magic skills alone.

but……

"This must be the Duke of Priss, right? You are so old, but you still come to attend the parliament? There must be no one at home, right?"

Seeing that Priss was about to get angry, Anno said sarcastically: "Ah, I think I said something wrong. If there is no one at home, doesn't that mean that everyone is dead?

The Duke is very generous, he won't bother with a mere baron like me, right? "

Blanch!

Priss was so angry that his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

I just said one thing to him, and he said it to death about my whole family.

Priss lifted his robe with his dry right hand, and the golden magic pattern glittered. He narrowed his eyes and said to An Nuo in a threatening tone: "Young man, I advise you not to be too angry!"

An Nuo said without any fear: "If you are not angry, can you still call yourself a young man?"

“Well said!”

Troy couldn't help laughing beside him.

"You smooth-talking brat! Do you know the crime of talking back to the Duke? I can even pull out your tongue right now and have the soldiers escort you to the city gate and hang you!"

Priss is not a kind-hearted man, otherwise he would not have brought people to the palace.

"All I know is that the king gave an order to designate the crown prince, but someone didn't obey!"

An Nuo said with a half-smile: "I know the crime of disobeying the king, just kill all nine clans!"

"you……"

Priss turned and bowed to the king, saying, “Your Majesty, it’s not that I am unwilling to obey your orders.

It’s just that the position of crown prince has always been a succession of succession.

His Highness Simmons should be the next heir to the throne."

Charles XI did not speak, but instead turned his gaze to Anno.

Seeing this, An Nuo said to Priss, "Duke Priss, you may have been guarding your own little piece of land and don't know much about the situation in the outside world."

“Nonsense!”

Priss immediately blew his beard and glared, saying, "Baron Anno, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for attacking you directly."

"Then I would like to ask, do you know what the Godwalker and God Hunter represent?"

Priss snorted coldly and said, "Of course I know!"

"oh!"

An Nuo nodded and asked, "Do you know about the seal of the god-level creatures?"

Priss frowned as he looked at Anno and replied, "Of course I also know about the God-level creature Dragon Scorpion from the Dwarf Kingdom of Sagunto breaking free from its seal!"

"Look what I said!"

An Nuo spread his hands and said to Troy: "This Dragon Scorpion God is so old. You should go out more and see the world!"

"What do you mean?" Priss felt something was wrong.

Anno said to Priss with a serious face: “A few days ago, the god-level creatures World-Destroying Demon Dragon and Deep Sea Demon Queen broke out of the seal from the Sunset Land in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Fall.

At that time, there were also several god-level warriors and god hunters from other dimensions rushing to the scene!

At least a dozen god-level warriors have appeared in the kingdom. Did you know about this?"

It was the first time that Priss heard this news. He was horrified and asked, "Within the kingdom? More than a dozen god-level warriors?"

“Not only that, I also got intelligence that a Godwalker from the evil god camp had stayed in the royal city for several days!

Do you know what kind of enemies the kingdom might face today?"

What Anno was talking about this time was Monlisa.

However, this was the first time that Tester and Troy heard the news.

The two were shocked and asked quickly, "Annuo, is this true? Where is the Godwalker now?"

An Nuo nodded to the two of them and said, "Don't worry, my intelligence shows that she has left now!"

Then Anno looked at Priss and said in a deep voice: "There are countless god-level creatures on the continent now. What the kingdom needs is a wise and powerful king to lead the country to fight against these crises.

Do you think His Highness Tester wants to take on this responsibility?

Isn't it just to allow you, a bunch of idle and wasteful nobles, to continue hiding in the back and waiting to die?"

The nobles were instantly furious: "Who are you scolding? Our Highness Simmons can also take on this important task!"

However, Priss hesitated at this time.

Letting Simmons be king is in the interests of the aristocrats, so that they can continue to suck the blood of the civilians in the rear without restraint.

There is a high probability that Tester's taking office will stop them from continuing to suck blood.

But Simmons can only be a king in peacetime.

If the foreign threat is too strong...Price knows that Simmons does not have the ability to lead the country in war.

"You're exaggerating! You said a god-level creature broke the seal and came out. So there is a god-level creature?"

Priss wasn't sure whether what Annuo said was true or false, and he needed Annuo to provide evidence.

An Nuo said solemnly: "Sunset City was reduced to ruins during the God War. You can go and check it out anytime.

Now refugees from Sunset City continue to pour into Xuelong City!"

"Sunset City has become a ruin?"

Priss frowned.

This is not a joke.

“According to intelligence, the Deep Sea Fairy, a sea creature that broke free from the seal and returned to the Storm Sea, will release the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.

The Atlantis army is very likely to launch a retaliatory attack on the Kingdom."

Priss was surprised and asked, "Why do the sea people want to retaliate against the kingdom?"

An Nuo said calmly: "Because when they unsealed the Deep Sea Fairy, we tried to stop them!"

The nobles of the aristocratic faction instantly lost their composure after hearing this.

"Where will they land and attack?"

"Will it affect the coastline of the western border? Will it affect my territory?"

"How many troops does Atlantis have? Can the Kingdom's army resist?"

"Why are you trying to stop them from lifting the seal? This will only create more enemies for the kingdom!"

“…”

Anno and Test looked at each other, then looked indifferently at the nobles who became excited because of Anno's ambiguous words.

Some of these guys actually questioned Annuo why he stopped the sea people from breaking the seal!

"How stupid!"

Even the king couldn't help cursing after hearing this.

Charles XI looked at his ministers below and sighed.

Although he is old, he has been king for so many years after all, so he still has some vision.

He has always known clearly what his two sons are like.

If it were in the past, when Anno had not appeared, Charles XI would definitely choose Simmons as king for the stability of the kingdom.

Because the nobles on the Kingdom side would not cause the Kingdom to fall into civil war.

But now, various unknown crises surround the kingdom.

Choosing Simmons as the king means abandoning people like Anno who support Test.

There is no need to talk about Anno's strength and potential.

In terms of leadership, he joined forces with Test to found the Adventurer's Guild, ending the kingdom's mercenary era.

As for courage...

He even proposed the idea of ​​invading other dimensions under the current situation.

In the eyes of Charles XI, corrupt guys like Priss will inevitably be eliminated in the next era!

And Anno and Tester are the ones who usher in the next era.

“Let’s put the Crown Prince’s matter aside for now and discuss the rescue of Sunset City.

The refugees in Sunset City must be in need of a lot of supplies right now. Is there anyone willing to donate money to help?"

The nobles who were shouting just now fell silent in an instant.
