On January 15, 126th year of the Universe Year, one month after Longquan was born, the civil war in the Dion Empire had entered a fierce stage.

The new Elisaud faction gradually suppressed Manius's aristocratic faction.

Yelishaud was able to succeed not only because of the full support of the number one knight Julius and the remaining six royal knights.

It also received the support of most of the people across the country, because the new generation led by Yelishade can be said to represent the common people.

Regardless of whether they are new humans, adjusters or ordinary humans, most of those who come from ordinary people support Yelishaud's new faction.

Because the saying "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species" can represent the new generation. Most of the new generation are ordinary people. As long as someone can make achievements, he will get the rewards he deserves. Therefore, ordinary people are very willing to join the new generation and fight with all their strength.

On the contrary, the great aristocratic faction represents the interests of the aristocracy. People born into ordinary families, even if they are new humans, will mostly be plundered by the young members of the aristocratic faction no matter how great their contributions are. There may even be a disproportionate amount between the contributions they make and the rewards they receive.

This led to many talented people of commoner origin being sent by the great nobles, and many of them jumped to the new faction.

The moderate faction initially secretly supported the great aristocracy faction.

However, as the war progressed, and Elisaud gradually obtained evidence of who was behind the sneak attacks on various factions, as well as evidence of the poisoning of Duke Morissette, he handed all of this evidence to the neutral faction.

The neutral faction did not expect that the third prince Alexandre would unite with the remnants of the previous dynasty in order to fight for the throne, harming the ministers of the current dynasty and even killing his own grandfather.

This resulted in all the neutral factions either turning to support the new generation, switching sides with the aristocratic faction, or remaining neutral.

Moreover, Yelizaud also handed the evidence to some members of the great nobles faction, which led to a part of the great nobles faction no longer supporting the third prince.

Manius also didn't expect that his nephew would do such a stupid thing, killing his grandfather and forcing him to clean up his mess.

Now more than three-quarters of the entire Mars is controlled by the new generation.

Manius was looking at the area currently controlled by the great nobles. He knew that the truth about his father's poisoning had not yet reached the media.

Manius knew that this was the Second Prince's way of saving their face. If these news were to reach the media and reported, the remaining factions of great nobles who supported them would immediately fall apart.

At this time, an aide conveyed the message to Manius that the second prince Elisaud had sent a sealed information document.

The information document sent by Yelishaud told Manius that it was possible to conduct armistice negotiations with them. These armistice negotiations did not mean that the noble faction had to surrender. As long as the noble faction declared a ceasefire and peaceful coexistence, in addition to regaining the rights they deserved, they would also be forgiven for their past mistakes.

Manius knew that Elisaud did not want to fight to the death with their noble faction, so he was willing to give their noble faction a seat in the court and retain some of their rights.

The current aristocratic faction still has the strength to fight, and can still inflict certain damage on the new faction, but if the fighting continues, some of the remaining advantages of the aristocratic faction will be lost, and by then they will not even be qualified to negotiate.

At the same time, Manius was a little resentful of his nephew for having killed their great noble faction.

Moreover, many members of the great aristocratic faction have already surrendered or sought peace.

Manius first contacted all the great nobles and asked them to hold an emergency meeting.

While most of the nobles at the meeting said they were willing to negotiate for peace, Alexandre and a few of the aristocratic faction members who advocated war disagreed with the negotiations.

It wasn't that Alexandre had the courage to continue fighting, but he was afraid that once he negotiated for peace, he would be held accountable by his second brother. This was what he feared most.

But in a situation where the minority obeys the majority, Alexandre could only watch in fear and disappointment as these great nobles decided to seek peace and negotiations.

Manius then called his nephew to his office.

"Alexandre, I already know all the bad things you did back then. I even wanted to shoot you." Manius threw the documents, photos, etc. in front of Alexander.

When Alexandre took the photo in the file and looked at it, his face turned pale with fright and sweat broke out on his forehead. He wanted to explain to his uncle, but his uncle raised his hand to stop him.

"It has already happened, and I don't want to say anything. Negotiating peace with your second brother now is also to save your life. If we negotiate peace now, we still have a place."

"Moreover, according to the intelligence your second brother has, if we continue to fight, it will give the enemy coalition army a greater chance to defeat our Dion Empire. The coalition army has already arranged a commander, a special general from the Russian Soviet Republic in the Earth Sphere. His name is Victor. The coalition army has already started to act. Now we should put aside our prejudices and point our guns outward."

"So what does he want to do to me?"

"If the negotiations are successful, you will be assigned to fight on the front lines outside the Martian circle."

Alexandre immediately guessed his second brother's intention and said angrily: "He wants me to die. He wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

"You can understand it this way. In the final analysis, you were the one who flirted first. In the final analysis, you were the one who indirectly caused the death of his wife and mother. If it were someone else this time, you would not have enough lives to die even if you had ten."

"Uncle, do you want to give up on me?"

"I haven't given up on you. In the final analysis, your second brother is also giving you a way out. Currently, there are still other noble factions supporting you. They support you because they don't know the truth of the whole matter. This is your second brother, leaving you some mercy and a way out."

Alexander was speechless for a moment, and Manius continued, "If you hadn't committed suicide and walked into a dead end, you wouldn't have ended up in today's situation. Now, there is still a chance to survive this dead end, and your chance to survive is to win the battle on the front line. If you can win, you will not only become a prince who wins the battle and resolves the national crisis, but your second brother will not care about the hatred of you indirectly killing his wife and mother. If you die in battle, you can still become a prince who is admired in the history of your country and sacrificed his life for the country. If you are unwilling to go to the front line, then your only fate is that your second brother will publicize those things about you. By then, even if you are not sentenced, you will no longer be a prince because you will be dismissed."

Alexandre fell to the ground helplessly, he knew that his uncle had actually given up on him.

If possible, Manius would not want to give up his nephew. If his nephew had not done these bad things, he would do his best to assist him and push him to the throne.

Unfortunately, there is no way to help a hopeless case. Not only does Alexandre lack his second brother's ability to use people and make strategies, he also lacks his second brother's imperial magnanimity.

Elisaud was able to put aside the personal hatred for the murder of his wife and mother for the sake of the country's safety. Manius really had to admire him.

Looking at his nephew slumped on the ground, if Alexandre had half the talent of his second brother, the Grand Noble Faction would not have reached its current state.
