The eldest prince has gone to attend peace talks with the noble alliance.
This is thanks to the Prime Minister, but... the Prime Minister has already...
However, thanks to the Prime Minister, the aristocratic alliance was also able to distinguish who the real enemy was.
That's the fourth prince hiding in the palace!
The conflicts between the nobles and the royal family over the past century were compared one by one in their exchanges with the eldest prince, and it was eventually discovered that the vast majority of them were caused by the fourth prince behind the scenes.
Since that incident, the emperor has been oblivious to worldly affairs, and the eldest and second princes have been busy with their own ideals and plans, so they have no time to cause trouble for these nobles.
The third princess did not participate in politics, the sixth prince guarded the border, and the ninth princess was born only twenty years ago, when the conflict between the nobles and the royal family was already very large.
So after everyone talked it over, they realized that the Fourth Prince was the one who was secretly plotting everything.
And he succeeded, controlling the second prince, Tius, as his puppet, and now controlling all the elite forces in the imperial capital.
What exactly does he want to do?
Will he become the new emperor in this way?
Are you kidding me!
This is something that not only their noble alliance cannot agree to, but even the eldest prince cannot stand by and watch.
When the noble alliance and the royal family unite, can the Void forces under the Fourth Prince alone stop them?
joke!
And so the meeting went on for a long time. Even at the end, Bu Bai, who had been listening in, heard some shocking news.
That's... the vampires! No... the demons! Yes, the entire demon race marched into the capital because of the noble alliance!
To be precise, it was because of Duke Udar.
Upon hearing this news, the eldest prince and the third princess almost came to blows with the nobles.
However, the nobles explained that they did this to check on the emperor's condition. Although it was said that the emperor was immortal, so many years had passed and there had been no sign of him. In addition, there were rumors that the emperor had entered the Demon Abyss. Could it be that he was seriously injured and was about to die?
No one knows for sure, but if that's the case, then the Noble Alliance will cooperate with the royal family to severely damage the demon race.
In this way, the Noble Alliance will gain extremely high prestige. If not, the Noble Alliance will also demonstrate its cohesion and try to create an opportunity for itself.
The worst-case scenario would be war with the royal family, and the fact that Duke Udar was willing to personally intervene and negotiate with the eldest and second princes is the best proof of that.
The eldest prince was unaware of this. After the second prince had finished dealing with everything, the eldest prince arrived late and, unfortunately, took the blame.
However, this was all orchestrated. The fourth prince, who controlled the second prince's power, had no intention of letting his elder brother arrive in time. Therefore, in subsequent propaganda, he kept promoting the message that the eldest prince and the second prince were facing the noble alliance together.
This caused the eldest prince, who sensed something was wrong, to retreat to his own territory, leaving the battles to be fought by the second prince's men.
It wasn't until the power of the void erupted that the First Prince's troops were quickly reduced to the Second Prince's void puppets, leading to the situation we see today.
"The Royal Guard suffered heavy losses, with only one-tenth remaining in numerous battles. However, my second brother did not acquire any Royal Guard soldiers. Before dying, the warriors would destroy their own source of power to avoid becoming void puppets later."
Letus also reported on their situation at the meeting.
The best course of action for the Crown Prince now is to leave the capital and summon his former subordinates, who have been scattered elsewhere, back to the capital.
However, we now face two challenges.
One is the invasion of the demon race. If the demon race only invades the capital, that's fine. But if they also invade other places, it's unlikely that his subordinates will leave with him.
The other danger is the pursuit of the Second Prince. If we act rashly, we might fall into his trap.
Compared to the battlefield at the front, the palace defenses at the rear were the easiest to breach.
Of course, this could also be because reinforcements have not yet been sent to the rear.
"So? What were the results of the meeting? For example, how were those demons dealt with?"
"No, the nobles admitted that it was wrong of them to lure the demons here, but they did not expect that the demons would not sit idly by and watch the tigers fight, but instead accelerated their march towards the capital."
Right now, their only option is to rescue Duke Udar as soon as possible and temporarily leave the capital with the remaining forces of the Noble Alliance.
Now, unless the emperor intervenes, the demons will definitely invade the capital.
Xiao Dai was also telling Liu Lang about the things that happened at the meeting, including the Sixth Prince and others who were currently defending the Welsh Castle.
The undead seem to have finished dealing with the void-transformed spirit beasts. With the addition of the undead, the pressure on Welsh defenses has increased significantly, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they may not be able to hold out for much longer.
"Father?"
It seemed that the word "emperor" was mentioned, and Veroshia, who had been sleeping against Liu Lang, slowly opened her eyes. Then she jumped up in a panic because she realized that she had actually fallen asleep against Brother Liu Lang.
Waaah!
"Ah... Brother Liu Lang? Would you like some personal items...?"
"What the hell! You didn't come to see me just to tell me about what happened at the meeting and watch the show, did you?"
Liu Lang also stood up and stretched his shoulders, which were indeed a bit sore from being pressed down.
"It's Instructor Wei Sha!"
Now that the matter with the Grand Mage is settled, Instructor Weisha is somewhat worried about the situation in the Dragon Kingdom, but he knows he can't rush things. However, he has come up with some solutions, though he's unsure if they'll work, but he needs your help.
