"First of all, please show your swords to the table to prove the qualification of the participants - then we can start."

Connord's voice sounded slowly, then he pulled out his waist sword - a pure black sword with an iron crown logo engraved on it - and put it flat on the table first.

It symbolizes the secret silver sword of the prince of East Saxony and kingship.

Almost at the same time as the voice fell, Yuli weiltz pulled out his sword - a simple to almost no decoration, wide blade short sword forged for stabbing - and put it in the position corresponding to connord's sword.

Blade of Elman, eagle beak.

"Clang!"

At the same time, ruwen and Sarika pulled out their swords - similar to Boye's "iron horse" secret silver long knife, which symbolizes that lottel's "claws and teeth" are also a knife, but the blade is straight, more like a long sword with a single blade.

With a complicated sneer, Nolan ERD glanced at Loren from time to time and pulled out a heavy weapon like a mountain knife from his back; "Dang!" hit the round table cleanly.

This ferocious weapon has a "poetic" name... Walking alone.

The weapon made a harsh sound on the table, but all eyes turned in the same direction.

"It's your turn, Duke Byrne." looking up, connord stared coldly at the dark haired wizard and the hilt behind his shoulder:

"Put 'dawn' on this table."

He said every word very seriously.

Loren's expression tightened slightly, and his right hand pressed the hilt behind him.

Connord said that when the sword was handed over, the meeting would officially begin... That is, he would not only exclude the church and imperial nobles, but also Brandon?

No... that should be his original purpose - excluding Brandon and meeting with the six principalities alone; So that the six principalities could reach an agreement with him without the intervention of a second person.

The reason and reason are also very simple, because even those close to Brandon in the six principalities... Including Byrne, are not completely consistent with Brandon's interests.

He did so in order to weaken the influence of his "imperial declaration" and become the only representative of the de sallion royal family to negotiate with the six principalities - even if everyone knows that Brandon is in the imperial capital, he will pretend that the disgraced emperor does not exist!

"Duke Byrne, Lord Loren Turin."

Connord's voice interrupted Lauren's thoughts, and his cold eyes looked at him with some provocation: "everyone... Is waiting for you."

The dark haired wizard didn't look at him, and his eyes moved to master corona.

The expression of the wizard tower leader was very ponderous, as if waiting for his choice.

The atmosphere became a little tense.

"Dang --!"

After five seconds of silence, Lauren held the sword in one hand and put the "dawn" on the table - the full height of the sword covered connord's "kingship".

Almost at the same time, the dark haired wizard could clearly feel the circle of eyes staring at him, all relaxed.

Seeing this scene, master corona did not make any statement, but added some unknown smiles.

The corner of connord's mouth slightly stirred up.

Although it is not obvious, at least a small turn from defeat to victory.

"In that case, as Prince of East Saxony, I officially announce that the sixth Knights Council of the Royal sword knights is officially established."

With a heavy and solemn voice, seven people sat in their seats in the empty hall - only the seats belonging to the "emperor of the saxophone Empire" were empty.

"The sixth Parliament?" Reuven Fred whispered to himself with a puzzled face as he sat down. "It's almost three hundred years... Why are we the sixth Parliament of the knights?"

There was a helpless sigh in the corner of his eyes, and he lowered his voice and explained helplessly: "there are many disputes about the existence of the Royal sword Knights themselves. Therefore, after his majesty Eckhart I, only five supreme emperors have reorganized the knights in danger because of the invasion of northern demons; among them, Brandon I, the sage, and Charlotte, the Dragon Queen..."

"No, no, no, little Yuli, you misunderstood me."

Ruwen shook his head and hurriedly stopped Archduke vilz who wanted to go on: "I'm not interested in these old stories. Lottel's history alone is enough to give me a headache."

"I mean... I just knew the name of the 'Royal sword Knights' when I came; if he hadn't just mentioned it, I would have thought we were the second Knights' Council!"

"..." Yuli wilz.

Gently tugging at the corners of his mouth, Loren withdrew his attention from their whispers and shifted it back to connord.

"From Eckhardt I to today, the Royal sword order has only established six parliaments, each at a critical juncture of the survival of the Empire. Why?"

Connord, frowning, said in a cold and heavy voice: "because this means that the imperial system has been unable to resist the crisis, we must concentrate all power and resources in a more direct way to the least group of people as far as possible."

"This group of people will be given the right to control the whole empire and the responsibility to save the Empire; every vote and decision of the Knights' parliament will determine whether tens of thousands of lives and the land they live in... Still exist."

"Eckhardt I went north to defend the enemy on the broken boundary mountain; Brandon the 'Sage' fought in the blood skeleton valley; the black Duke was ordered to save the Empire in the face of danger..." Connor said more and more, and his voice was more dignified, even with a tremor:

"But compared with us, the dangers encountered by the previous five royal sword Knights... Are not worth mentioning!"

"Because they were closely united by the emperor at that time;"

"At that time, they clearly knew whose orders they should obey and where the enemy was;"

"At that time, there was an emperor!"

The trembling and heavy voice added a trace of tension and uneasiness to the atmosphere of the hall.

"As Duke Byrne mentioned in his letter, the Azores and their main messenger behind the scenes are an enemy so powerful that we may not be able to win if we unite as one." with both hands against the table, the crown prince slowly got up:

"They killed our emperor, and they once wanted to kill everyone present; their show of force made us helpless. We only knew that they would invade, but we didn't know when and where to start.

"The Knights of the sword... What should we do? How should we resist this unprecedented enemy?"

With that, connord, who stood in front of the seat, remained motionless and stared at the dark haired wizard's face.

How to... Isn't the answer obvious?

Connord de sallion... Almost all his words just now have directly told the people the "answer" - we don't have an emperor, we need an emperor.

Now, it's time for the members of the noble knight order to elect an emperor.

More importantly, Loren has made it clear in his "imperial declaration" that he wants to elect his Royal Highness the crown prince to be the supreme emperor of the 13th generation... So Loren can't change his mouth.

Connord... He is making use of his own identity to take the initiative and gradually turn the "preemptive advantage" occupied by Brandon and Loren into his; from "Byrne and the Dukes jointly elected connord as the Imperial Emperor" to "the six Dukes agreed with his highness connord's idea and supported him as the emperor".

The meaning of a few words can be very different.

The former means that connord owes Laurent and Brandon a great favor, while the latter is that he is reasonable and legal, and gets what he deserves at the unanimous request of the Empire.

In other words, Connor has no sincerity to cooperate and intends to suppress himself and Brandon in this way?

Lauren looked flat and pretended not to see each other's line of sight.

"How to do it, I think it's quite simple."

Archduke Arles, with a grim smile on his mouth, suddenly opened his mouth and shrugged his shoulders as if he were dealing with two words: "didn't your Highness the crown prince say that we don't have an emperor - it's not easy to do. Just choose an emperor!"

Huh?!

Everyone present was stunned, and even connord couldn't help turning his eyes to Nolan ERD.

Such words of "loyalty to the country" come from the Duke of Arles, who is most disgusted with the Empire and de sallion?

Seeing a pair of eyes coming together, the Duke of Arles with a low smile became more ponderous: "of course, since you want to choose an emperor, who to choose is a big problem."

"I mean... We can't seem too unfair. After all, there are many royal family members in the 12th and 13th generations. If we all elect the same person, is it a little suspicious of 'Imperial decision'?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

Connord, who was vaguely aware of his thoughts, was livid, frowned and looked at Nolan ERD: "Duke Arles, what are you trying to say?"

"It's very simple! Now there's only you, the de sallion royal family. Wouldn't it be too false if we all recommend you? It's bad for your reputation if we let people outside know as if we had colluded."

Nolan ERD licked his chapped lips and smiled more brightly: "so I propose - everyone here will recommend a member of the de sallion royal family to see who can convince who and then make a decision!"

In the astonishing silence, not only was there no sound, but everyone's expression seemed to be fixed.

This guy... He came here to make trouble!

As the voice fell, the idea appeared on the faces of the dark haired wizard and Yuli vilz.

"Hey, hey... I think that's a good idea!" Lu Wen brightened his eyes, didn't notice the sharp sword like eyes of the Duke of ellemans next to him, and wanted to press his head directly on the table: "the most important thing is, it sounds very fair!"

"Yes, yes, reconsideration!" the careless Sarika Jonah also patted the table, as excited as if she didn't think things were big enough:

"That's it - one candidate, one person, one vote, to see who can convince who!"

Sitting on the edge, master corona still smiled and showed no sign of trying to stop.

Connor's face was like a haze. Although his expression had not changed at all, it was getting darker and darker.

The black haired wizard who twitched at the corner of his mouth restrained his mood and remained calm and silent.

This is definitely a surprise, but it's not unexpected.

The contradiction between the ERD family of Arles and the de saleon royal family has a long history, which can be traced back to the beginning of the founding of the saxophone empire; Located in the southwest border, this principality is so desolate that it can hardly find any "specialty" except giant monsters. It has always been a hidden danger in the eyes of the Empire.

They rejected the Holy Cross Church and had territorial disputes with lottel and Bain; The brave Troll hunters once fought bravely and died bravely with their Duke in the blood skeleton valley; But most of the time, they are good at robbing other caravans.

The businessmen, robbers and thieves who are generous, stingy, cunning and unruly, wandering all over the world are the direct portrayal of the Arles - "never walk alone with an Arles unless you are not worth robbing". This famous saying spread widely in the south of the Empire.

So Nolan ERD, the Lord of Arles, came to this party neither to answer his call nor to "the great righteousness of the Empire";

He came just to block connord, the Empire and the de sallion royal family.

"You have been quiet since just now, Duke Loren Turin."

Nolan ERD, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly turned his attention to the dark haired wizard, looking forward and curious: "I don't know what you think of me yet. What's your opinion?"

I think if you go on, you may not be far from death.

With a formulaic smile, Loren looked up at the Dukes around him and Connor, who was already as heavy as water: "since three Dukes have made a decision, it is basically half; then I have no objection; but..."

"I will maintain my previous idea and elect his highness crown prince Conrad de sallion as the supreme emperor of the 13th generation of the Empire!"

Looking at the "righteous" Loren Turin, the expression of the people was obviously a little stunned.

Connord's expression was thoughtful, while Yuli weiltz silently nodded to Loren, as if he was willing to stick to his attitude.

"Well, it seems that the Turin family is the Turin family, and the commitments made will never change." although he said so, Nolan Erde's expression was very disapproval: "I don't know whether it's for the great cause or to sell the love of the crown prince!"

This guy

Ignoring the black haired wizard's eyes, Duke Arles smiled and turned his eyes back to connord: "it's your turn, your royal highness."

"Do you think... Who should be elected as the next supreme emperor of the Empire?"
