Chapter 63 The new king takes the throne
Kurga City, temporary palace hall.
The hall converted from the Council Hall of the City Lord's Mansion was filled with civil and military officials of the Empire. The empress, who was already covered in white hair, sat on the wide seat at the head of the hall. Next to her was a half-year-old child of twelve or thirteen years old, Walter, the son of Grantham.
This is the first official palace meeting since the empire of Light moved to Kurga. It is only because the special envoy of the Star and Moon Alliance came to the visit and required the empire to be greeted with complete court etiquette.
If it were in the past, if it weren't for the elder-level figures of the Alliance, the Empire of Light would never have created such a great ceremonial war. But now it is no longer the same as before. When the Empire is in its life and death, it is looking forward to the rescue forces of the Alliance and all races, and has to lower its status.
Amid the sound of drums and music, the Saint of Water Spirit led two alliance envoys wearing star and moon costumes and golden masks to walk slowly into the palace hall.
The two special envoys glanced over the faces of the imperial civil and military officials on the left and right sides. They ignored the emperor and empress and Walter above the hall, as if they had not seen each other.
"The Star and Moon Alliance Special Envoy is not only rude, but also dare not see anyone?" A slightly immature but full of anger came from above.
The emperor and the empress have begun to deliberately cultivate Walter and teach him the emperor's majesty and etiquette. Walter suddenly spoke out and scolded the two alliance envoys, just to gradually establish his prestige in front of the imperial civil and military officials.
Although Walter's idea is correct, what he encountered today was deliberately looking for trouble.
The alliance envoy on the left spoke in a mocking tone, "Little guy, I'm worried that I'll scare you to cry after taking off my mask!"
Walter yelled: "Now take off your mask and apologize to Your Highness. I can forgive you, otherwise I will let the Dragon Scale Guard fight you directly. How can the Empire of Light allow you, an alliance envoy, to go wild!"
"Hey, after all, he is a child. If your grandfather might have the confidence to say this when he was alive, the current Empire of Light has become a betrayal dog, so how can he have any dignity?"
The emperor and the empress suddenly asked sternly: "Who are you?"
As Arthur and Joan took off the mask on their faces, the emperor and the empress were so scared that they trembled and screamed: "Dragon Scale Guard, take the person down!"
Most of the civil and military officials in the hall had not reacted yet. The Dragon Scale Guards outside the hall had already rushed in. However, before they could rush in, a large area of atomized ice crystals swept over like a whirlwind, and they immediately froze on the spot, but the one who took action was the Saint of Water Spirit.
"These two people are the special envoys of the Star and Moon Alliance. Why did the emperor and the empress catch people when they come up?" The saint of Water Spirit looked at the emperor and the empress above with cold eyes.
"It was these two people who assassinated the Emperor! Jiawen killed these two people for me!" When Arthur and Joan appeared in front of them, the Emperor and Empress were already crazy and desperate.
Jiawen had already broken through the ice fog of the Saint of Water Spirit and rushed into the hall with a sword, but he was kicked out without even seeing Arthur's movements. Then a cold voice came from the hall, "The imperial family has nothing to do with your Dragon Scale Guards. If you dare to come in again, the corpse will be gone!"
Jiawen, who had climbed up from the ground, held the hilt of the sword tightly, bit his lip but never dared to take a step forward. Arthur planted a shadow in his heart last time, and he knew that if Arthur killed him, he would be dead now.
Many people in the hall had already reacted at this time, but Arthur kicked Jiawen away and shocked many people on the spot. Even the generals in the hall did not dare to move for the time being.
Arthur turned his attention to the emperor and empress, "I came today on behalf of the Star and Moon Alliance. The alliance and all races are willing to help the human race fight with all their strength, but the alliance has one condition, that is, the Empire of Light must change an emperor trusted by all races!"
The emperor and the empress have been in a high position for many years, but at this time they still held their momentum and questioned Arthur sternly, "The Star and Moon Alliance has an alliance with all races and does not interfere with the internal affairs of all races. Why should the Star and Moon Alliance force the human emperor to be abolished?"
Arthur shrugged, "The alliance will not interfere with the destruction of the emperor, but all races do not trust a woman who assassinates her husband, only tricks but no strength. The empire can not change the emperor, and all races can not support the human race."
Qiong suddenly spoke: "I came just to avenge my father! If it weren't for you, a vicious woman, assassinating the father for Grantham to inherit the throne, how could the Empire of Light be in a split situation? How could it be bullied by alien races to such a situation? Alantis was destroyed by war, millions of soldiers, and the people died under the swords of alien races because of your greed. Do you still have the face to question others' interference in the decree of the emperor?"
The emperor and empress trembled even harder, and she screamed in surprise, "Kill him and kill him! Do you want to rebel too?"
Amid the screams of the emperor and the empress, several powerful war generals in the hall had surrounded Arthur and Qiong, and the door of the hall was surrounded by layers of dragon scale guards, but they were afraid of the water spirit standing at the door, and no one dared to rush in for the time being.
A sudden light flashed in Qiong's hand, and the Blade of Light appeared in his hand, and said quietly: "Uncle Galah gave this artifact to me before his death and asked me to protect the Empire of Light. Do you want to give it a try?"
A brilliant rainbow light suddenly burst out from Arthur's hand, and the rainbow light shone colorfully in the entire hall. When the rainbow light dissipated, the previous battle generals who stood out had turned into minced meat all over the ground.
"I heard that the human race inheritance artifact was passed down from generation to generation by previous Emperors of Light. It just so happens that the half of the residual blade in my hand is useless. Why not give it to you a complete one." Arthur handed the other half to Qiong in front of the civil and military officials of the palace.
When Qiong held two halves of the light blades in his hand at the same time, the entire hall fell into silence. The inherited artifact symbolized the fortune of a clan. After being lost for more than 800 years, it finally returned to one another in Qiong's hands. Everyone knew what that meant!
Arthur still felt that the heat was not enough and continued to encourage, "You have fled from Alantis. How many tribesmen, relatives and friends died at the hands of the demons? Can the woman and that child on the stage lead you and the empire to defeat the demons? Where can you escape on the day the city of Kurga is broken?"
Arthur further raised his tone: "The Eleventh Highness is the bloodline of the emperor, and now it is the return of luck. If Qiong is the emperor, the millions of troops in the Kingdom of Isaac will return to the imperial command. The Star-Moon Alliance and all races on the mainland will fight side by side with the human race. The Empire of Light will surely repeat the glory of the past!"
Arthur finished speaking, the commander of the Northern Legion, the commander of the Southern Legion, the commander of the City Guard Legion, the commander of the Mingfeng Legion, the commander of the four front-line corpses and half-kneel towards June, "We respectfully ask His Highness Qiong to inherit the position of Emperor!"
The final result!
When the main forces of the military support His Eleventh Highness to inherit the throne, the others stood up and turned against the trend, and even sought death! Moreover, in the hearts of these important officials of the empire, each of them had a scale. When the empire was in danger, His Eleventh Highness, who had full support from the Star and Moon Alliance, was naturally a hundred times stronger than Walter's succession.
