Dead silence.

Connord was motionless and his face was as cold as ice; Duke Nolan Erde still smiled arrogantly and looked at his royal highness.

In addition to Loren and Yuli weiltz, even the two thick lines of "watching the excitement is not too big" Lu Wen and Sally Ka closed their mouths nervously, and their four pairs of eyes kept moving at both ends of the round table.

This is not the tip of the needle to the wheat awn, but can see the blood light flying!

"Cough! Cough..."

For a long time, corona coughed a few times, stiffly interrupting the embarrassment.

"Cough, cough, cough... Since his highness connord also belongs to the de sallion royal family, this problem is a sudden thing in the past for his Highness the crown prince." corona said with some difficult affectation: "as the crown prince, his highness must always care about the safety of the Empire. Why would he want others to bear such a heavy burden for himself?"

"Naturally! Legally speaking, the imperial throne should belong to your highness; but since it is to be elected, it might as well be said by the Dukes to see if there is a more suitable candidate than your highness connord, which can be discussed again!"

Corona's meaning is very straightforward - the premise of this discussion is no longer to elect the emperor, but to propose other candidates to see if there will be anyone better than the crown prince and who can compete with his highness.

In other words, we don't have to worry about it, and the candidates are no longer attached with any preconditions. We can say who we want to say.

Connord's expression improved slightly after the words.

Nolan ERD still had a ferocious smile on his mouth, as if he were in control.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the hall was much relaxed, master corona took the lead to stand up and elect Severin de sallion, the military Minister of the former royal cabinet.

The reason is also very simple - as an older member of the royal family, although he is a sideline, the military has rich experience and has unified troops for many times; In the next Azores invasion, he will certainly need his experience.

Yuli vilz, the Lord of El Mans, abstained; In his opinion, this kind of thing is pure nonsense, meaningless and ineffective... And he hates nonsense and gossip.

Reuven Friede was going to stand up, but under the eyes of Yuli vilz who could really kill, he was winked by the black haired wizard several times and finally gave up.

In spite of this, Sarika Jonah elected the eldest princess, fillonay de sallion. The reason is simpler - she is a woman, but more like a man than most knights.

Nolan ERD did not change his face and recommended Brandon desallion... Because Brandon is the Dragon driver, and the dragon is the primary premise for Arles to surrender to the Empire.

Of course, his real purpose is clear to everyone present... It doesn't matter who is recommended. Anyway, it's disgusting connord.

"My view remains the same - for today's empire, his highness connord de sallion is the most suitable person in the Empire."

The black haired wizard, who did not change his face, said blandly, "the reason and reason... I have explained it very clearly in the previous' Imperial declaration '."

"And my idea is the same as that of Duke Yuli vilz. There is nothing to talk about; the top priority now is to hold the coronation ceremony as soon as possible and let the Empire have an emperor!"

Corona's expression on the corner of her mouth moved, didn't say anything, just winked at the black haired wizard.

"So... The final decision is in your hands again, your royal highness." Nolan URD, smiling again, turned his eyes to connord:

"Look, because of Duke Byrne's loyalty, now as long as you open your mouth, no one in the empire can have a candidate to compete with you."

Facing the aggressive eyes of Duke Arles, connord, with an iron face, stood where he was and said nothing.

Master corona finally eased the atmosphere and became depressed again.

Another dilemma... Lauren, with a dull look, kept sweeping his eyes off Nolan ERD.

If Conrad said any name, it would prove that he thought there were more suitable princes in the empire than him;

If he chooses himself... The troublemaker Duke of Arles will certainly take the opportunity to cause trouble.

So, Conrad de sallion, how can you reverse this almost dead situation to

"Brandon de sallion."

Connord, whose face was as heavy as water, stared at Nolan ERD and said the name word by word:

"If it were me... I would choose Brandon de sallion."

At this moment, the hall of the Knights was really, dead silent.

From master corona to Sarika Jonah next to Loren, they were stunned, so stunned that they opened their mouths but couldn't speak.

At this moment, Nolan ERD finally couldn't laugh any more and widened his eyes in disbelief.

Everyone present... No one thought Conrad would say that name!

Loren, who was always silent, suddenly noticed something and stared at Nolan ERD with a stunned face.

No, there's fraud in it... Even if Duke Arles wants to block the desalion family, he won't deliberately pick a matter to die in the sky palace; Or

"Yes, if I were to choose, I would choose Brandon de sallion."

Connord, who didn't care about the eyes around him, continued to say: "the reason is also simple. He is the last dragon driver in the royal family and the second in line successor of the Empire. He should have the qualification to become an emperor."

"Especially at this critical moment, a Dragon Rider... Will bring great sense of security and confidence to the Empire and all soldiers who are about to fight with the enemy; when the giant dragon spreads its wings and the Dragon burns the earth, everyone will believe that the Empire will win, desalion... Will win."

"So I recommend Brandon de sallion as the 13th emperor of the Empire; but..."

Connaught's cold and solemn eyes swept over the faces of every Duke at the table: "distinguished dukes, you seem to have forgotten one thing and one person."

"That is, we still live in the 12th generation, and the 12th generation of emperors... Your majesty, choose me to inherit this empire!"

"So, dukes... You can choose any desalion to compete or fight against me, and choose the really suitable person in your heart who can bring benefits to you."

"But please ask yourself, your choice... Will you save the Empire or drag the empire into the eternal hell called 'division' before the invasion of the Azores?"

"Just as our Duke Loren Turin described it."

Before the round table, the people with different looks didn't speak again.

The dark haired wizard still didn't speak. His dark pupils were locked on Nolan ERD, and his expression was calm.

I see

From the time Nolan ERD appeared to the time when he began to make trouble in this meeting and add to Conrad's congestion, Loren always had an illusion... The Duke of Arles probably had reached some kind of agreement with Brandon de salionda.

The performance of the other party also proves this well - whether interrupting connord's rhythm or proposing the so-called "one person, one vote, electing the emperor", it seems to be constantly building momentum for Brandon and weakening connord's voice and influence in this Knights' meeting.

But now it seems that this meeting of the Royal Knights is a double play directed and performed by two people... The contradiction between the Principality of Arles and the royal family has a long history and can be a perfect target; If Nolan ERD starts first, he can stop everyone else's mouth.

Consul eboden on the wizard's side, Duke lottel who swings between the church and Byrne, Yuli weiltz who is always neutral, Sally Jonah who is too busy to watch... And Duke Byrne who supports Brandon, Loren himself.

Connaud Dessalio, as like as two peas in the six different interests, has nothing to say, to retreat in order to take the "righteous" pressure on people.

The only difference is that Loren only targets connord, while the crown prince uses this move to suppress all dukes and even the whole empire!

Finally, Lauren's eyes became more and more dignified. He pressed his hands on the armrest of the chair, and his veins were exposed unnaturally.

"Who else has any objection?"

The cold interrogator sounded under the ceiling of the Knights' hall.

Only silence answered him.

The Dukes with different faces did not speak any more, and Nolan ERD, who had just danced most happily, was strangely silent at the moment.

"Since you have no objection, as the supreme emperor who is about to be crowned the 13th generation of the Empire, I hereby solemnly announce..."

In an indisputable tone, Conrad de sallion... Now, like the supreme emperor, whispered to the Dukes present:

"From now on, from the northernmost boundary mountain of the Empire to the southernmost mountain rock castle; from the dense forest of Shenlin castle to the Centaur Gobi of the big green sea..."

"Within the territory of the sakran Empire, all lands with three dragon flags, all villages, all towns, all castles, all people, young and old, men and women, must obey the call of the Empire and fight against the invading enemy!"

"Now that the Azores have started this war, we will accompany them to the end of the war until the blood runs out, the ashes disappear, the country is broken and the family is dead!"

"Let me remind you again... This is no longer a war of defending the country, a war of dignity; but only one of the two existing ethnic groups can continue to rule the world until the end!"

"Anyone who deserts this war will no longer be the enemy of the Empire, but the enemy of our whole ethnic group - deserting the war and the emperor is deserting your ethnic group."

"And I assure you that for those who abandon their ethnic groups... The Empire will completely disappear from the world between their abandonment!"

"No flesh and bones!"

Heavy words fell, leaving only echoes floating in the hall, but still emitting bloody murderous gas.

No one spoke, and the Dukes around the round table could even hear each other breathing.

Until the next second

"Bang --!!"

The gate was knocked open.

The people in front of the round table turned back at the same time and looked at the figure who came in in in amazement.

Connord's face was blue again.

The black haired wizard closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

I thought I could solve this matter at the least cost, but did I get to this point in the end?

"Oh, everyone is here."

Frivolous voice, with a trace of casual; Stagger, step by step into the hall.

"I'm really sorry to break in and interrupt your chat so suddenly, but..."

He slowly raised his head and looked at connord de sallion with a childlike smile:

"You seem to have forgotten me, my dearest brother connord de sallion."

"Invade the Azores and be crowned the supreme emperor of the 13th generation of the Empire... How can you not invite me for so many important things?"

"Or dear brother Huang, have you forgotten my brother who is not very obedient?"

He didn't care about the stunned eyes around him, looked at connord provocatively, and didn't forget to throw a flying eye at the dark haired wizard.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Loren watched Brandon's performance quietly.

"Why are you here?" Conrad said coldly. "According to the arrangement of his father, you should be in Boyi, in the camp of the eastern expedition Corps."

"Yes, but I'm here now, standing in front of you." he gently snapped his fingers, happily ashamed. His royal highness opened his arms and snorted with disdain: "don't pretend to be stupid, my respected brother - anyone should know I'm coming as long as he looks up; or do you think there can be a second dragon driver in the world except me?"

This is tantamount to completely picking out the words, without any concealment.

"Even so, this is the headquarters of the Royal sword order, and only members of the order can participate in the meeting." connord said angrily:

"Brandon, you... Are not qualified to stand here!"

"Yes, but I'm here now, and there's just a seat here." Brandon smiled more brightly and more arrogant: "so in that case, my dear Royal brother, what are you going to do to me?"

Connord's expression became more and more ugly.

"Bang!"

The crown prince knocked open the chair, and his blood red pupils, sharp as a sword, swept across everyone's faces around the round table.

It's chilling.

"In that case, there is only one thing I can do..." connord said coldly:

"The Knights of the sword, now dissolve!"

The Dukes with different looks got up and turned away from their positions.

In the dead hall, only the black haired wizard was left.

... and some proud prince.
