Chapter 718 Usurping the Throne?

Fernandez I was calmer than Antoine, and he knew the situation in the army.

He controlled the army with his own offspring, but not only with his own offspring.

The current situation was still controllable, otherwise his position would not be stable.

Antoine was still too young, and he was prone to making mistakes when he was impatient.

Antoine was indeed very anxious, but Fernandez I's calmness infected him and made him slowly calm down.

"Father, I will restrain the army, I will."

For the Booker tribe, inferiority and irritability coexist.

Antoine, who has the blood of Daxia flowing in his veins, is obviously the hope of many of them.

So, he can influence part of the army.

Sometimes, this is not just about interests.

Fernandez I glanced at his "son", his eyes were colder than before.

The affection of the royal family is a luxury, and the affection between him and his brother is enough, and there is no need for more.

After Antoine left, he went straight to the military camp.

He did hear some rumors, but the loudest voice among the Booker tribe was not to overthrow the rule of the New Holy United Kingdom, but to push him to the throne.

The royal family has no family affection. Since Fernandez I was able to take the crown from his brother, why can't Antoine?

Compared with the chaotic primitive society, the Booker tribe is very satisfied with the New Holy United Kingdom.

But along with civilization comes ambition.

Of course, cultural identity makes them more recognized of the blood of Daxia.

The sacred and noble holy blood is the master of the kingdom.

Antoine perfectly inherited the blood of both sides and can be recognized by most people.

Moreover, he is the oldest, two years older than his younger brothers, and has the most supporters.

In this case, the generals of the Booker tribe are either ready to move or remain neutral, but absolutely no one will object.

They are extremely looking forward to a black king taking over the crown and completing the true glory of Booker.

When Antoine came to the military camp, he saw many generals from other places here.

His face was very bad. He was proud of his father and imitated his father in every move.

He had never been to his homeland, but he liked to listen to the stories sung the most.

The brotherhood between his father and King Bruno made him respect him very much.

So, he really didn't want to usurp the throne.

He wanted to get his father's approval, take over the crown openly, and complete the handover of glory.

Therefore, seeing the generals who shouldn't be here, he roared in a low voice: "What do you want to do? Leaving your post without permission, do you want to rebel?"

"Your Highness!"

The generals present were all embarrassed. Most of them were around 20 years old and had mastered the middle-level power of the army at a young age.

Most of them were regiment commanders, but the power in their hands was not small at all.

When dozens of such generals joined forces, it would be easy to change the political landscape of the kingdom.

Of course, this opportunity was given to them by Fernandez I himself.

He gathered the scattered Buc generals in the holy city. From a military perspective, it must have strengthened the defense.

But from a political point of view, it may not be correct.

These generals are from the New Holy Cross Kingdom and from other United Kingdoms.

But at this time, they are all willing to serve Antoine.

It can be said that Fernandez I has been planning for 20 years and harvested half of the combat power of the New Holy United Kingdom at one time.

He has long realized that overseas territories with a lack of population must rely on the native Booker tribe.

So he endured the disgust and went straight to the point.

Since there is no choice, take the initiative.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct and wise.

Now, if it were not for his weird operation, he could have harvested the results without risk.

Even now, he is still the winner.

The Booker tribe, which controls nearly half of the middle and lower-level military forces, basically favors Antoine.

The reason is simple. He is the prince of the New Holy United Kingdom and the most honorable person in the Booker tribe in legal terms.

He is also the oldest among this group of mixed-bloods, has the longest military service time, and has won the support of a group of Booker generals early on.

Now, everything proves his foresight.

This is also one of the reasons why Antoine yearns for Fernandez I.

He knows that he is not the son that his father is most satisfied with, but he tries hard to do it.

Young Antoine has no ambition to change the dynasty yet, he just wants to prove himself now.

Therefore, many Buc generals shouted, and then everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.

Although Antoine was angry, he also knew where his support came from.

So he scolded them, and then urged them: "Go back, if your father knows, it will only cause misunderstandings, you are harming me."

"Your Highness, we are helping you. As long as you give an order, we don't need the king to abdicate, but we should give you a higher title, such as... Duke of Buc."

"Duke of Buc is impossible, Duke of the Holy City is the most suitable."

"Yes, all of us support you, this is what you deserve."

The Buc generals talked a lot, they are now united, and they want to launch their own spokesperson.

Even if there is an internal conflict, we have to wait until it succeeds.

Their demands were simple, either to usurp the throne or to have Fernandez I confirm Antoine's status as the heir.

The title of Duke had a special meaning in the kingdom.

Antoine struggled, it was impossible to say that he had no idea at all.

But now he preferred to inherit the throne in a more open and aboveboard manner, rather than forcing his father.

And... a little bit of scruple.

Finally, he became firm in his expression and reached out to stop everyone from talking.

"Stop talking, I will personally obtain the position I deserve, and... do you think father doesn't know you are here?" Antoine sneered, and all the Buke generals who had just clamored to usurp the throne fell silent: "Believe it or not, father has now obtained a detailed list, and every one of you, not one is left out."

Many people present looked unhappy. Although they were clamoring fiercely, they were all scared in their hearts. The fear of Fernandez I was not a joke.

Do you really think that Fernandez I can rise again in the New World by kindness?

With a sword in one hand and a Bible in the other, and friendly relations with the Booker tribe, this is the reason for his resurgence.

Otherwise, blindly being friendly will only lead to others swallowing you up skin and bones.

Fearing power but not virtue has been the case since ancient times.
