Chapter 689 Abdication and Coronation
The atmosphere... was very strange.
The meeting was supposed to start, but no one spoke.
Duke Fernandez and the king looked at each other and fell silent.
Those who could come here had some political experience.
They all felt that a dramatic change might be just around the corner.
But most people could not imagine that the dramatic change would be so great.
Most of them thought it was just an internal struggle within the New Holy Cross Kingdom.
Whether it was abdication or an armed coup, many people felt that it had nothing to do with them.
And changing a king might not be a bad thing.
In the current situation, perhaps the New Holy Cross Kingdom needs to change a strong king, so that it can change the decline and gain the upper hand in the war with the Great Xia Empire.
So there was an unexpected silence, and no one spoke to break the awkward atmosphere.
Therefore, King Bruno realized that his abdication was inevitable.
The day he gave up on himself, the ending was doomed.
He even had to thank Fernandez. If it weren't for this brother holding him up, he might have died long ago.
Now, the knights who had sworn to him lowered their heads, perhaps repenting for their betrayal.
The ally who once swore a solemn oath remained silent, and seemed to be more looking forward to his dethronement.
So, he was a failure.
King Bruno laughed at himself, then took off his crown, trying his best to show his free and easy side.
But his body, hollowed out by alcohol and sex, made him look particularly haggard, and he didn't have the momentum of a king at all.
"Fernandez, my brother," King Bruno called out, saying in front of everyone: "My body is not good, but the threat of the Great Xia Empire is imminent, and none of your nephews can support this country. Today, in the name of my ancestors and in the name of God, I will abdicate the throne to you."
Finally, it came to this step.
Fernandez had never thought that he would become king before.
But he was pushed here step by step, and he had no choice.
He didn't know how to talk to his brother, so he could only walk up to him silently and bow his head.
King Bruno put the crown on his head, his hands trembling slightly.
"Fernandez, you must win!" Bruno roared in a low voice.
If you want to say who he hates the most, it must be Derek.
From the head of a country to today, it is closely related to the Great Xia Empire.
At this moment, all Bruno's hatred is directed at the Great Xia Empire.
This is also what Fernandez thought, he responded calmly: "Yes, I will definitely defeat the Great Xia Empire and truly revive the kingdom's rule."
He stood up again, his back straight.
The crown representing the New Holy Cross Kingdom has completely changed hands.
This is an emerging kingdom, a behemoth that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops.
Even if many of these soldiers are stupid and silent.
This crown is more of a way to cut off Fernandez's retreat.
At this time, he has only one choice, to defeat the army of the Great Xia Empire, otherwise it will be meaningless to pay so much price.
But Fernandez is not happy, but the representatives of other small forces cheered happily.
A strong leader can greatly increase their chances of winning.
Everyone knows what Bruno did before.
No matter how trusted Fernandez is, there are still hidden dangers.
But at this time, this political change is obviously supported by the internal forces of the New Holy Cross Kingdom, otherwise it would not be so calm.
This can be said to be the choice of the times and the result of the deterrence of the Great Xia Empire.
Obviously, many people have realized that only by risking everything can there be a future.
But... this is not enough.
Fernandez said this to himself, and many people responded in their hearts at this time.
They are already crazy, so they can sacrifice everything, including themselves.
In fact, there are far more crazy people than imagined.
"The New Holy United Kingdom only needs a king and a voice, so that we can defeat the Great Xia Empire."
Someone suggested that he was a supporter of Fernandez, or... a staunch opponent of the Great Xia Empire.
However, not everyone is determined to abandon everything.
For most people, resisting the rule of the Great Xia Empire is just to protect their own interests and not to become an ordinary person.
If resistance and non-resistance both lead to becoming ordinary people, then what is the difference between Daxia and the New Holy United Kingdom?
So someone immediately stood up to object: "Absurd, we don't care about the struggle within the New Holy Cross Kingdom.
But the New Holy United Kingdom can't do that. This is not the New Holy Cross Kingdom's family affair. We all have a share in it."
Power, like the most tempting poison, is not something that everyone can give up.
Facing such opponents, the supporters' reaction was also very direct.
He turned around and drew his gun to shoot.
With a bang, the opponents shut up, which meant that there were no opponents, perfect.
Fernandez turned a blind eye throughout the whole process. Since he decided to fight for the absolute right to speak, he would not let down the chain.
Looking at these people again, there are actually not many people who support him, but many people are hesitant, thinking that maybe there is hope if Fernandez holds on.
At this time, Fernandez also took the opportunity to announce: "The New Holy United Kingdom is definitely not my dictatorial kingdom.
With the royal blood as a witness, when we defeat the Great Xia Empire, I will reward people according to their merits and confer titles without any stinginess.
The new kingdom will be a common kingdom of the royal family and the nobles. "
This promise is obviously reliable.
Swearing by blood is the most solemn oath.
Fernandez dared not violate it, otherwise the nobles who supported him now would be the first to mutiny.
Once the others heard it, this condition was obviously acceptable.
Reward people according to their merits after winning.
The only thing to accept is temporary dictatorship.
Some people began to agree one after another.
Those who disagreed looked at the corpses on the ground and chose to agree.
The ultimate goal of Fernandez's coup this time was not to satisfy his personal desire for power.
What he wanted was to defeat the Great Xia Empire.
Therefore, after receiving widespread support, he immediately announced: "The New Holy United Kingdom will form a Senate of Nobles. All the nobles present will automatically become members of the Senate and provide me with wisdom support.
Before the end of the war, I hope the elders will not leave me. ”
This is the fulfillment of the promise, and also the leaving of hostages.
Hold the emperor to command the princes, hold the lords to command the army.
Fernandez must complete the integration of the army and logistics system before the Great Xia Empire attacks, and then he will have the strength to fight.
