Chapter 1130: The Man Called Father
Howson struggled symbolically on the ground a few times, looked up at Stark and said, "Let me up."
"Oh, our angry little cowboy finally calmed down now?" Stark raised his hand and removed the force field acting on Howson.
The eldest prince patted his knees and stood up: "You're right, anyway, there is only one throne, and someone needs to sit on it. I won't sit, some people are willing to sit, so I'll do it."
Stark applauded: "You have the essence of being a king, that is ruthless. That's right. What is family affection? Power is real. It's not in vain for me to bet on you. Since we have achieved Consensus, then His Highness Howson, can you announce this news to everyone tomorrow. I have to remind you that Tangleo’s people must be on the way now, and they will bring the king’s body. Make a will, and if you haven't taken the first step, then the next situation will probably not be too pleasant."
"I think so too, but it's not that simple." Howson shook his head and said, "There are only three ways to succeed to the throne. One is for the king to make a will and be witnessed by a notary. After the king dies, the will will automatically take effect; The second is that the king designates an heir before he is alive, and chooses a date to abdicate so that the new king can take over. As for the last one, the king dies suddenly without any will, and the eldest son succeeds according to the laws of the empire. But at the same time It needs to be signed by any two of the President of the Privy Council, the Lord Chancellor or the Prime Minister."
"In this situation, if I want to succeed, I can only take the third way. But it is difficult to get two of the three people mentioned above to sign and agree, at least overnight." Howson shook his head: "Also As far as the president of the Privy Council is relatively easy to talk to, the Lord Chancellor and the Prime Minister have been looking at me differently. Asking them to sign their names is almost impossible in this environment tonight."
"With me here, nothing is impossible." Stark said indifferently: "You find two of them, no matter what method you use, as long as you let me meet them, I can make them agree."
"Also, even if you succeed through 'legal' means, you still need time to appease those subjects. Therefore, Tangleo's people must not enter the city, you need to give them a crime, and finally send me a The army asked me to deal with them. Don't get me wrong, I can sweep them out of the city gate by myself, but you don't want my identity to be exposed, so you need an army as a cover."
Howson turned around in the study for a few times, and said decisively: "Okay, I can send you a dragon army soldier. They are all my people and will be under your full command."
"That's easy. Let's do this first. You go and invite the two adults. Be quick. After all, time is limited."
Howson walked to the door and suddenly nodded, "Mr. Stark, can you tell me what you want?"
Stark smiled slightly: "Don't worry,
I'll talk about my report later, right now the prince's succession is the most important thing, what do you think, Your Highness Howson. "
Howson nodded and went, Stark suddenly shook, and purple blood dripped from the corner of his eyes and nose again. Mei Li's two daughters quickly helped him to sit down, and the first woman said worriedly: "Master, you need to recuperate now. Why don't we let the two of us stop people for you tomorrow."
"You two are unstoppable. My brother alone is unstoppable. Don't worry about me. Although Tanglio's counterattack is heavy, it won't kill me. And even if I am like this, It's still possible to stop someone. If I'm lucky enough, maybe I can deal with my brother smoothly, which will save a lot of trouble. But judging from his strength, it probably won't be so smooth." Si Dak patted Meili's hand: "Go and call Diego. I have some time to arrange for him to do something."
Mei Li nodded and left obediently.
In the evening of the next day, the setting sun was setting, and the sky on the west side was dyed blood red by the afterglow of the setting sun, exuding a depressing atmosphere. On the field outside the city of Olisga, a team headed towards the gate of the imperial city. Woodrick rode his horse in front, followed by Allen and Julian with his head hanging. Then there was a wooden cart pulled by two horses, on which was a temporary wooden coffin covered with a golden battle flag of two lions.
After Tangleo's death last night, Allen and Woodrick cut trees to build a coffin, and the general even removed the ice crystal from the giant sword, and put Tangleo's body in the coffin, so that Use the cold air of ice crystals to protect the emperor's body from decay.
Everyone in this team was depressed, and the only thing that remained unchanged was probably the ten steel front warriors accompanying them. They are not living things in the first place, so naturally they have no emotions.
"Your Highness, you have to cheer up." Allen said softly: "We have arrived in Oliska, you need to cheer up so that you can complete your majesty's entrustment."
"I know, Alan." Julian sighed softly: "I know I have to cheer up, but my father didn't know how much he loved me and my mother until last night. When I heard him say that himself , I am both happy and miserable. Alan, why are the gods so cruel, and just took him away from us like this."
"I really want to say that I can understand your feelings, Your Highness." Allen looked at the imperial city wall on the other side: "But I have lived with my mother since I was a child, and I never knew what my father was like. Yes, my father Father, who was there before I was born, I don't even know what he looks like. I only know that my mother hates him, and I can understand that, I know that my mother wants me to hate him too. But to be honest, I have neither It's hard to hate him, though."
"Although for a while, when I knew my mother could have had a better life, I did hate him. But time has made it easier, especially after so much, I wonder if he will have the same. I can't say the difficulty. Just like the emperor did to you, is there another reason for that man to leave us?" Allen shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, I quite envy you, at least, you know that your majesty loves you .You are his proudest son, so Your Highness, you cannot let him down."
Julian gritted his teeth, finally raised his head and said in a deep voice: "You're right, Alan. He pinned all his hopes on me. I can't continue to be so depressed. I shouldn't let him down. On the contrary, I To make him proud of me. And it all started with Oliska."
Allen nodded with a smile.
Suddenly Woodrick raised his hand.
The team stopped, and Allen stepped forward: "What's the matter?"
"There is a situation." Woodrick pointed to the front, and a smoke screen was raised on the field ahead. Judging from the scale, it should be an army. Woodrick said: "Due to the urgency of the situation, I did not notify Olisga. It stands to reason that they haven't received the news yet. How could they send an army to 'greet' us?"
Allen frowned and winked at Lucy. The latter understood, and the pattern on the ring on his finger lit up. The steel front warriors strode forward and lined up in front of the team, waiting for them.
After a while, sure enough, an army appeared in front of the team. That army was still holding the banner of the dragon army, and it looked like there were about two hundred people. Dozens of knights in front rode their horses and galloped, followed by hundreds of infantry. The army stopped at a distance of about 100 meters, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Woodrick walked through the steel front warriors, and said loudly: "I am Woodrick, the general of the dragon army, who is your commander?"
"It's me, Walder, my lord." A middle-aged knight came out, his face under the helmet was covered by shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly. It's just that although he used honorific words in his words, he couldn't feel the slightest respect from him. If he had any respect for Woodrick, it was time to get off his horse and kneel.
But he didn't, he was still sitting on the horse's back with big thorns.
Woodrick frowned: "Ward? I haven't heard of it."
"Of course, I'm just a small person, how could adults hear about it?"
"Okay, Wade. Are you here to welcome us?" Woodrick asked tentatively, presuming he didn't hear the harsh tone in the other party's words.
The knight named Wade laughed: "Of course, and to be precise, we are here to welcome His Royal Highness Julian."
"Welcome to me?" Accompanied by Allen, Julian walked up to the Steel Front Warrior: "Who told you to come?"
"Of course it is the king." Wade shouted: "In the name of King Howson, it is now announced that Julian murdered his father, and his Majesty Tangleo died suddenly. This is a heinous crime. Now arrest Julian and put him in prison, waiting The judge judged and ruled!"
Julian's expression changed, he shook his head and said, "What did you say? The new king? Howson?"
"Didn't Your Highness hear you clearly? Then I'll tell you a second time, that's right. His Majesty Howson has already learned of your crime, and he announced it this morning under the witness of the Chief Justice and the President of the Privy Council. Succession as king!"
This is Woodrick's turn to yell: "Impossible! His Majesty Tanglio passed away last night. How did Howson get the news. Besides, His Majesty has already made a will, and His Royal Highness Julian is the new king. This matter is up to me." Witness with Earl Allen!"
Wade laughed: "Julian is the culprit who murdered the former king, and Woodrick and Earl Allen are the accomplices. His Majesty Howson made it very clear. My lord, what do you think of the new king and the two of you? More weight?"
Julian wanted to say something more, but Alan pulled him gently, shook his head and said: "No need to say any more, it is obvious that Howson has received the news, and he has to act first. No, he has already done so. It's his people, they won't listen to any word."
Woodrick also nodded, and shouted: "Get out of the way, we are going to Fort Dawn. The emperor's body is here, do you dare to intercept it?"
The knight sneered: "You said it was the emperor's body? I said it was someone who pretended to be someone. I will not let you have a chance to disturb His Majesty Howson. You will be arrested without a fight. Anyone who violates it will be killed!"
