Chapter 151 Eternity, Disappointment [1/2]
Royal power is not eternal.
But the strength is!
If a person's strength is strong enough, even if he doesn't want the king himself, the people around him will tacitly push him to that position.
Looking at i-child like this, Anthony has been fortunate to see several cases.
Some succeeded, some failed.
However, any successful person will not be very friendly to those who push themselves to the throne after ascending to the king.
The battle for the throne is a road of no return. As long as you step on it, there will be no turning back.
This is an iron-like fact and an experience summarized by countless predecessors.
To be honest, Anthony doesn't like the king's position very much.
Even though he has now become the wizard of the Tulip Kingdom and has a status of less than one person, he still remembers the fear that his friend looked at him when he sat on the throne.
This friend of Anthony is the king of the Tulip Kingdom today.
That is Prince Jon's father.
And Anthony is Jon's mentor.
At this moment, when facing his disciples and wanting to embark on the same path as his father, Anthony...
imperial power?
Fight?
Only those who are raised in the Blooming King City have a better chance?
Who said this?
Sorry, in Anthony's eyes, the golden chair in the royal city is only qualified to sit steadily.
And the "cruel environment" in his eyes will never be the intrigue that blooms into the royal city!
war!
Only the throne you won in war is your Jon!
No one’s charity is needed, nor will it change because of the will of some people.
As long as you have strength, sufficient military power, loyalty from the great lords, and countless people silently support you behind you, no one can take away your throne.
Isn’t it a more efficient way to spend time to win over the Marquis of Black Rock City than to play house in the Blooming Royal City?
Then the opportunity of this war was to cultivate an invincible army, and then gain influence and loyalty from the nobles in the army...
If Jon can do this, then no matter who the king chooses to inherit in the future, the only person who will eventually sit on the throne will be him Jon.
Unfortunately, Prince Jon doesn't seem to understand this truth.
Unlike his eagle-like father, he knew how to do it when he was very young to increase the bargaining chips in his hands.
After all, they are people who grew up in peaceful times.
Sighing softly in my heart,
Facing the eager gaze of the student looking at him, Anthony finally just smiled and shook his head at him.
"Child, there is no eternal kingship."
Anthony said to Jon like this.
......
......
The world is so strange.
And among all living things in the world, humans are definitely the strangest kind.
This is how it feels to be this elves gradually retreating or to the demons in the bottomless abyss.
When facing the threat of life and death, most of the senior officials of a kingdom are more concerned about the battle for the throne.
They don’t know the difficulty. If this battle is defeated, will the Tulip Kingdom be very likely to no longer exist?
They know.
Yes, everyone knows this.
But does the existence of the kingdom really have a lot to do with the power in their hands?
It's really ironic.
Walking on the ancient streets of Heiyan City, a woman in black robe looked at the mobilized soldiers on the street charmingly.
Behind her, a white-haired old man with his back was following silently.
The eyes were filled with sorrow.
Just a few days ago, he was the largest nobleman west of this land.
Holding enough power in your hands can affect the life and death of millions of people.
But what about now?
Following behind the woman in black robe, there was a collar hanging around her neck. The hunchbacked old man felt that he must be like an old dog now.
"Look, the tulips in Black Soil City are in bloom."
Yes, the tulip representing the royal power is blooming again.
It represents the royal power of the Tulip Kingdom and also represents the kingdom's ultimate attitude towards this war.
The flowers bloom westward, indicating that the army of Black Soil City will gather in the West.
The fragrance of flowers spreads throughout the city and is spreading to more cities in the east, which means that all cities covered by the fragrance of flowers have the obligation to join this war.
From Heizu City to Blooming King City, then passing by Hailan City in the east, and finally reaching the ridge city on the northeast plain in the northernmost position of the kingdom.
A national war!
Yes, the Tulip Kingdom is ready to do everything it has to win this war.
"It's so good, just like it was seventy years ago."
Sniffing the fragrance of flowers in the air, the woman in black robe said with a little sigh.
It's like she's witnessed it.
Seventy years ago, the Black Roses War.
At that time, the Holy Lion Heart Kingdom, which had just woken up from the great trauma, launched the same national mobilization against the ancient god just like the Tulip Kingdom today.
"The same bravery and intelligence are really a group of lovely creatures."
The pink tongue licked the corner of his lips, and the lady in the black robe revealed her greed for all this.
War is such a good thing.
She likes war the most.
As long as there is a war on the main plane, she can gain many high-quality souls.
Just like the one following her.
She was full of pursuit of ideals and gradually fell into the long river of time. The fragrance that finally brewed was really unavoidable.
Yes, which lord will reject the fragrance of the soul?
She couldn't stand the sweetness of her soul and ventured to the main plane.
Although it is dangerous, it is worth it.
During the war mobilization, the lady in black robe walked from the west to the east of the city. The people around her basically ignored her existence. Only when she was about to come into contact with her would she subconsciously make avoidance actions.
As long as she doesn't want to, no one will find her.
"My slave, do you think you will win the final victory this time?"
"Victory will definitely belong to the human race."
This is the answer given by the former Lord Butch.
This is the pride of being born human.
It is also the answer that the woman in black robe expects.
Reality disappointed her.
"My master, the scale of victory, will always be in your hands."
This is the answer of the hunchbacked old man now.
An old dog whose backbone has been broken by desire. How can you have more expectations for him?
The lady in black robe was a little disappointed without getting the expected answer.
Looking at the people around her who were still flowing, she moaned in a whispering tone:
Chapter completed!
