Chapter 990, The Capital City Is in Turmoil, Fang Yuan Is in Control of the Situation!

Tick ​​tock.

In the Castle of the Throne of Thorns, the high-hanging alchemy clock is turning.

By the time the first one is on time.

There was a "ding dong" sound.

The crisp sound echoed in the castle.

This castle, built three hundred years ago, was named the Thorns.

It is to commemorate the ancestors of the Alpha royal family in this barren land.

Overcoming obstacles and building a strong country.

Rumor has it that in order to build Thorn Castle.

When the Alpha Kingdom was founded, more than thirty kings were killed in battle.

lasting for hundreds of years.

Thorn Castle is on the verge of turmoil.

Good thing!

A hundred years later, the Alpha royal family gave birth to the most outstanding King Caesar.

Conquering the south and the north laid the most basic territory for the Alpha royal family.

Later kings continued to expand their territories on this basis.

Only then did the current Alpha Kingdom exist.

"Miller!"

"What do you think our ancestor Caesar would do when faced with the current situation?"

Miller is the fifth prince.

He is also the biological brother of the Ninth Prince.

But unlike the Ninth Prince, Miller is not good at governing the country.

He is better suited as a businessman.

The most prosperous restaurant in the royal capital was designed and built by Miller.

It can be said that every day makes money.

Beyond that, Miller is known for being a bit of a fanboy.

From the day the Ninth Prince was born.

Miller then made up his mind to support his brother on the throne.

The ninth prince can be appreciated by the king and confirmed as the heir.

Miller deserves a lot of credit.

Even the support of the Iron Guard Commander was because of Miller.

Without Miller.

So with the power of the Ninth Prince, it is impossible for him to be among the many princes competing for the throne.

Stand out quickly.

I heard my dear brother ask.

Miller said softly.

"Nero, what are you worried about?"

"As long as you are within the Throne of Thorns, no one can threaten you."

"Besides!"

"The Iron Guard Commander will arrive soon."

"Plus the support of the president of the Royal Alchemy Society."

"No one can shake your position."

The third prince named Nero nodded slowly.

"Seven days."

"In just seven days, I will be the king!"

And just then.

There were hurried footsteps outside.

The trusted servant quickly ran up.

"prince!"

"Something bad happened."

"Just now, the third prince died!"

Upon hearing the news, Miller and Nero were both stunned.

"What did you say?"

Miller asked with a frown.

He subconsciously thought that he had heard wrongly.

After all, this is the third prince.

Without him.

Then within the royal capital.

Nero was the undisputed heir to the throne.

"The third prince is dead."

"In the inner sanctum of the Paul family."

"The heads were cut off together with the head of the Paul family."

After getting the confirmed answer.

Miller and Nero were both stunned.

"Dead?"

Nero said through gritted teeth.

Since arriving in the royal capital, he has been assassinated every time, and the culprit behind them all points to one person.

That is the third prince.

They both want to kill each other.

It's just that they are equally powerful, and neither one can do anything to the other.

In desperation.

After Nero discussed with Miller.

It was decided to give the Iron Guard hereditary privileges.

Only then did he gain the support of the Iron Guard Commander.

But the consequences of doing so are also huge.

That is, the Iron Guard will become stronger and become an uncontrollable force in the future.

It is the future kings who will suffer.

But Nero couldn't control that much anymore.

If you don't agree, you will die if you fail to compete for the reserve position.

Rather than doing this, it is better to suffer for the future generations.

But now!

The Iron Guard Commander has not returned yet.

The third prince died.

To Nero, this was as disgusting as eating a fly.

In his opinion, there is no third prince anymore.

Sooner or later, this position of king will be yours.

Then the deal with Tiewei wouldn't be worth it.

Miller on the side saw through his thoughts.

"Nero."

"The covenant cannot be broken now."

"Once the Iron Guard betrays us, the consequences will be disastrous."

Nero nodded.

"I know."

"And once the third prince dies, there is no doubt that I am the mastermind behind it."

"No one believed it, even if there were others."

"Wait until tomorrow, the news about the third prince will be made public."

"The other princes are all in danger."

"I'm just afraid they will unite against me."

"Miller."

"We have to stop this from happening."

Nero was right to be concerned.

Miller pondered for a moment.

Then he said.

"It seems that the only way to do this is to let the Iron Guard take action in advance."

"Keep the Praetorian Guard in your hands."

"As long as we control the Imperial Guards, the inner city will be ours."

"As for the city guards and the earls, we can negotiate slowly."

Nero nodded.

"That's all."

"There is also a tourney."

"Convene in advance."

"Lower the dose of the old king's potion."

"Let him sober up."

"The old king is here for the tourney."

"Even if the princes and nobles want to take action."

"There will also be some scruples."

"And we can take this opportunity to take control of the Imperial Guard."

"Then use the power of the Praetorian Guards to blockade the inner city."

"Clean up the honorable nobles in the city."

"Then we will concentrate our efforts to deal with the outer city and the Duke's Legion outside the city."

Miller looked at his brother with admiration.

Intelligent and decisive.

This is a great quality to be a king.

If he is not the king, then no one in the Alpha Kingdom can.

As long as the younger brother can become the king.

Alpha will definitely reach a higher level.

By then!

It is not impossible to attack the seven countries and then complete the unification.

And the news that the third prince was assassinated.

It was also soon known to the Sixth Prince.

"Are you sure he's dead?"

"Sure!"

The sixth prince suddenly became excited.

"good!"

"Very good."

For him, the death of the third prince was not just as simple as losing a competitor.

It also gave him a chance.

An honest excuse to defeat the Ninth Prince.

"Do you know who did this?"

The Sixth Prince spoke, but quickly shook his head.

"It doesn't matter who it is."

"Someone's coming."

"Spread the word."

"Let's just say that the Ninth Prince succeeded in assassinating the Third Prince."

"The royal capital is about to be slaughtered with blood!"

“Just get the word out.”

"The next day in the capital will be extremely exciting."

The only one who wanted to spread the news was the Sixth Prince.

There are also messengers of evil gods.

This time it’s a fight for storage space.

Several evil gods join forces.

They support the Seventh Prince.

A little transparency.

But he is also the only prince who is willing to cooperate with them.

The seventh prince and the sixth prince have basically the same life experience.

But life experiences are completely different.

The six princes traveled around the kingdoms.

The seventh prince has been trapped in the king's palace since he was a child and is not allowed to leave.

When he reached the age of awakening the magic crystal, he was deprived of his rights by the king's order.

And all this is because he is from the Sinchen family.

The king wanted to punish him to protect his mother.

The seventh prince almost always sank into endless pain in the royal capital.

His character has already been distorted.

Killing the king with his own hands was his greatest wish.

After the evil god gave the conditions, he agreed without hesitation.

As long as the Alpha Kingdom can be destroyed, he doesn't care.

When the news came that the third prince had been assassinated.

The seventh prince Hannibal showed a cruel look.

"It's so easy to die!"

"It's too cheap for him."

At this time, the sons of the Evil God who were sent to help showed expressions of contemplation.

They are different from Mad Hannibal.

Know what this means.

"Once the third prince dies, the capital will inevitably be in civil strife."

"Is this our chance?"

"No, don't forget that Kane is not dead yet."

"As long as the king wakes up for a while, there will be no chaos in the capital."

At this time, the seventh prince Hannibal said.

"Then kill him!!!"

The Sons shook their heads.

"It's hard."

"The Iron Guard protecting the Throne of Thorns is not weak."

"A strong attack will inevitably fail."

"I want to assassinate the king and bring chaos to the capital."

"The first thing that needs to be solved is the Ninth Prince."

"He is the strongest."

"If you succeed in assassinating him, then the two most powerful forces in the royal capital will collapse."

"We have an opportunity to replace it."

"Or it could disrupt the situation and reap the benefits of its internal chaos."

While they were discussing.

Sudden!

The Holy Son of the Harvest Goddess spoke.

"Who killed the third prince?"

This question made everyone slightly stunned.

Hannibal was the first to react.

"snort."

"Who else could it be?"

"All the nobles in the royal capital know that the one who wants to kill the third prince the most is the ninth prince."

"Whoever benefits is the one who did it."

"Once the third prince died, the ninth prince became the most powerful force."

"Other than him, no other prince can win the throne of king."

"And before that, the third prince and the ninth prince both sent assassins to each other."

"It's a pity that they all failed."

"This time, it will definitely be the Ninth Prince."

"So there is no one else but the Ninth Prince."

Nero's firm answer did not surprise the sons of the evil god too much.

Because the answer is obvious.

Almost everyone would think so.

However!

The Sons are not natives.

They come from the Old World.

Know who your real enemy is.

"You mean, could it be him?"

The Holy Son of the Dragon God spoke.

"Not impossible."

"When you kill the beast god."

"Fang Yuan did not take action himself, but used local power."

"If he wants to take control of the Alpha Kingdom."

“The most convenient way is to support agents.”

"Princes like the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince have their own basic base."

"I will definitely not listen to Fang Yuan."

"Then if he wants to choose, he must be the same as us."

"Choose a prince with little power."

"And want to support him to rise to power."

"We must first deal with those powerful princes."

"So the person who assassinated the third prince may also be Fang Yuan."

Hear this analysis.

The Holy Son of the Red Flame God nodded.

"It seems that Fang Yuan has entered the game."

"In the past few days, a group of fierce bandits have appeared around the royal capital, specializing in plundering caravans."

"Some of our affiliated chambers of commerce have suffered huge losses."

"This situation is very similar to that at the border."

"It's basically certain that Fang Yuan has already arrived."

"I just didn't expect that he barely stopped at all."

"Just start killing people."

"It seems that his strength has recovered well."

This is undoubtedly bad news for the evil god.

"After killing the Beast God, Fang Yuan should have gained a lot of divine power to restore his strength."

"This matter must be reported to the Lord as soon as possible."

"When the caravan was attacked, the god should have known about it."

"The question now is, what do we do?"

"First find the prince supported by Fang Yuan, and then find out the location."

"Concentrate your efforts to kill him first."

"no!"

The Son of the Harvest Goddess categorically opposed.

"How do you find the prince supported by Fang Yuan?"

"Now we're all in the shadows."

"If you take action casually, we will turn from darkness to light."

"I won't even know how I died after being tricked by Fang Yuan."

"My proposal still goes according to the original plan."

"Instigating internal strife in the Alpha royal family."

"As long as it can weaken the power of the Alpha royal family."

"Even if we lose in the end."

"The capital of Alpha Kingdom was in ruins due to the war, and the magic crystal warriors of Alpha Kingdom died in the battle."

“Our plan was also successful.”

"Instead, give up on these and focus on dealing with Fang Yuan."

"Once it fails, Fang Yuan will take the royal capital."

"That's the last thing we want to face."

The suggestion of the Son of the Harvest Goddess was unanimously recognized by the Sons of the other gods.

"Then we'll stick to the original plan."

"The third prince is dead."

"Then other princes will be alert though."

"But I want the forces behind them to raise troops and attack the Ninth Prince together."

"It's not enough to create internal divisions."

"We need to add more fire."

"Let more people die in the capital."

"Not just the princes, but the nobles who oppose the Ninth Prince."

"A high-ranking knight under the third prince."

"If enough people die, there will be a backlash."

"Then when will we do it?"

"If we take action now, I'm afraid the other princes won't believe it."

"They are not stupid after all."

"Tournament!"

"Send our mercenaries to kill people openly."

"Kill more."

"Killing clearly, the nobles will naturally lean in this direction."

"This is a conspiracy."

In this era, the sons of the Evil God are almost doing dimensionality reduction attacks.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan is still here.

otherwise!

With these methods, they can really stir up the situation at will.

Inside the hotel where Fang Yuan is located.

"Success!"

Qingfeng returned carrying two heads.

"Your Excellency, what should we do next?"

Fang Yuan did not answer, but asked instead.

"When will Rainbow Duke arrive?"

"Already arrived."

"But he didn't enter the royal capital."

"Instead, he went to a county outside the city."

"It should be to win their support."

Fang Yuan then asked again.

"How is the situation over there with Lilith?"

"How far has the research progressed?"

"Currently, drugs have been developed that will be effective within two years."

"She said that if she gives it another half month, she can make a medicine that will grow magic crystals within a month."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

At this time, Christian frowned.

"Half a month?"

"Your Excellency Lord."

"You think the king can wait half a month?"

Fang Yuan said lightly.

“Nothing can’t wait.”

"If I want it, I can."

"go."

"Tell Crowe to come see me."

"Besides, Guderian is working as a bandit outside the city."

"It's almost done now, let him bring some people to the capital."

"I have more important things to arrange."

"As you command, your lord." (End of this chapter)
