The Crown Prince, there is nothing unusual about it. But every time a reserve is established, there will always be a **** storm, but it is an indisputable fact. Edward has read the history of the empire. In the history of the huge human empire of Balegun, there are many cases of princes fighting for power and cruelly killing each other when they were crowned as the crown prince. Although there is no detailed record in the book. But from the first few princes in the reserve, and the few remaining after the new emperor took office, these simple numbers can infer the **** and cruel struggle for power.
It's just that the current emperor is young and strong, and it seems too early to establish a reserve. In the history of the empire, there are also many princes who have reached middle age, but the emperor still has the embarrassment of establishing a crown.
Lay explained a little bit about the current prince’s pattern: "Our emperor has a lot of princes and princes, but from now on, there are only a few who can fight for the crown prince. First is the eldest prince Hausen. , This majesty looks like your majesty, joining the army at a young age is considered to be recognized by the leaders of the military. It can be recognized and recognized. It is still impossible to ask those important officials of the country to put all their wealth on His Royal Highness. . Those old foxes are not stupid. Moreover, among your majesty’s princes, Hausen is not the only one who is unique."
"Of course, our Royal Highness Julian is not a potential opponent." Allen smiled.
"That's right." Ryan didn't go to talk about Julian immediately, but continued: "His Royal Highness, Wu Yong has nothing to say. It's just that the temperament is too cruel, this Highness is born with great power. At the age of seven, he killed the grizzly bears alone. He joined the army at the age of fourteen and entered the **** battle camp with a high rate of battle damage. This camp is a heavy camp in the Northland line of defense, facing the foreign race of the shadow principality for many years. Although your Highness In the army, there must be a master to protect him in secret, but his Royal Highness has indeed won a lot of military merits, and he has also won a huge reputation. One read??·1??Look·?? Maybe he was in the army for too long, After returning to the imperial palace, many people in the imperial family retreated to see him. Moreover, this majesty brought his brutality to the palace, which caused his majesty a headache."
"It's not surprising that you have been rushing and beheading the enemy for so many years. If you can't restrain the murderous aura and turn it into an aura that shocks your opponent, then you will only be controlled by the murderous aura, and you will gradually lose your heart. "Allen said frankly.
Rein nodded: "It is true. For this matter, your Majesty has often given Prince Hausen a mentor's elixir, just to guide his Highness back to the right path. Otherwise, a prince, no matter how murderous he is, Even if he succeeds, his majesty is only a tyrant, and his majesty cannot afford this name. Therefore, His Majesty Howson has the largest number of winnings and a large number of losses. The key is whether he can converge when his majesty makes a decision. His violent suit."
"So besides His Royal Highness Howson, what other competitors does our Royal Highness Julian have?"
Lein smiled and said: "There are still a few competitors, but with the strength of His Royal Highness Julian. In addition to the great prince Howson, the fourth prince Seves is also the mother of His Royal Highness Seves. , Is the younger sister of Sword Master Ma Sen. His Royal Highness has accepted Ma Sen’s sword skills since he was a child. Among the several princes, his source is not as good as Prince Hausen, but his sword skills are beyond the reach of the others. His majesty looks like his mother, he is very fond of his majesty, and with the support of the sword master, he has a lot of opportunities to win."
Ellen said "Oh" and nodded, not forgetting to persuade Ryan to drink. Rhein was surprised that his face didn't change his color. He first revealed Howson's cruelty, and then pointed out Seves' power. And he hasn't talked about Julian yet, so as a matter of normal, apart from the other princes, just talk about the two big rivals of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, knowing that Julian, who is their opponents, cannot easily compete.
Support for the prince to establish a reserve, this is a matter of holding a group and fighting for power. The so-called prosperous and all-prosperous, and all damages are all lost. No matter how old, at Allen's age, knowing that the master he is about to play for is fiercely competitive, at least he will frown. ?? I read the book??·1· But Allen looked complacent, this kind of reaction was a little bit beyond Ryan's expectation. He also couldn't say whether the young viscount in front of him was unintentionally working for the second prince, or was he so confident that he would not put other opponents in his eyes?
He could only continue: "In the end, our Royal Highness Julian, the second prince does not have the military background of His Royal Highness, and there is no uncle of the Grand Duke like the four princes. But His Royal Highness Julian has a lot of friends and talents. Quite a few. His Majesty’s spear combat skills have been guided by the Southern Territory Iron Spear Hoy, and he also has a friendship with Marquis Hoy. If you can get the help of Lord Allen, His Royal Highness Julian will have a good chance of winning."
"So your Royal Highness and Hoy still have friendship?"
Lein smiled faintly, and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that after his Highness deliberately recruited you, he learned about you. I happened to hear that the tiger shark harbor was looking for trouble, so I asked someone to move. Hoy, I have quietly beat the earl back for you. Lord Allen, it shows that His Highness takes you seriously."
Alan finally showed a bit of surprise, and Ryan was relieved in his heart, saying that you might not be able to hide your feelings. Allen had a different idea. Before going to the light leader, Edward received the news from Dark Blade. The news pointed out that Eric went south secretly, but turned back for no reason. If it weren't for confirming that Eric had retreated, Alan would really not worry about leading to the light.
Until now, I didn't know that it was the second prince who was far away in the northern capital.
Then he said: "The second prince really wants to fist, so please trouble Mr. Ryan to tell it on his behalf. I will do my best to help the second prince win the crown prince."
Rein laughed and agreed. Next, the two stopped discussing political affairs, but talked about each other. What Ryan talked about most was what he saw in the Northland, which was a bit of insight for Allen. After a dinner, Alan is already half of the second prince, and Ryan has gotten closer. And the reason why it is half, it is because only if you really set foot in the northern capital, will you be recognized by Julian.
Back to the city lord's mansion, Alan took Nellie to the study. The study room was brightly lit, and an empire map was spread out on the table. The other debris on the desk was moved by Edward to another place, and the four corners of the map were held with heavy objects. The Maritans were looking at the map attentively, a quill pen in his hand dropped from time to time, and a stroke was drawn. Hearing the sound, Edward did not look up, and said lightly: "Come over and take a look. This is a route I planned for you to go north."
Ellen walked up to him and cast his gaze on the map. The territory of the empire was vast, and it contained mountains, canyons, plains, forests, highlands, rivers and seas from the topography. The southern terrain is slightly flat, but there is no shortage of highlands and valleys. The terrain in the north is undulating, with many dangerous mountains and cliffs, and the scenery is magnificent. Between the north and the south, a big river runs across. Starting from the Moonlight Ice Lake in the west and entering the St. Trina Sea in the east, it becomes a natural boundary between the two places.
The name of this boundary is Oselina River.
Osellina was the most beloved concubine of the first emperor of the empire. The story between the two was composed by poets into a gorgeous poem that lasted forever, and she was also shown on the stage of the Royal Theater many times. She is still the royal family today. One of the members' favorite plays. The Oselina River reflects the bright lights on both sides of the river at night, as if the night sky is full of stars falling into the river, it has the nickname of the Starry Night Corridor. It is like a necklace made of stars, hanging gently on the territory of the empire.
The route drawn by Edward starts at Iron Gun Ridge, passes through the dark land of thieves, passes through the free trade city of Sardin, then turns into Sentinel Hill, passes through the keel plain, and finally arrives at the terminal of the southern border. The city of Moser, known as the Empire Hall.
It is a prosperous and prosperous big city with a resident population of more than one million. It is a very important city on the north-south transportation hub. There are many merchant groups there, and there are as many mercenary groups, where you can buy goods from any area in the empire. The empire’s 100,000-thousand-level army, the "Greyback Armour", is stationed in the city, and Moser has also become an important checkpoint for guarding the north-south passage.
When Edward’s pen point continues north, Allen can see that this route takes the Golden Bridge Strana through the Oselina River into the Northland. After a short stay in the Northland Frostwind City, it passes through the cold The ridge canyon turns into a basin known as the Devil’s Throat, passes through the relics of the old Great Wall that the empire used to defend against foreign invasions three hundred years ago, and arrives at the historic Crescent City. From Crescent City, through the broken ice cliffs along the Changtian line, you can see the new Great Wall guarding the imperial capital Olisga. After the Great Wall, it is naturally the terminus of Allen's northward journey, the northern capital of the empire!
Allen watched this route without saying a word for a long time. The route drawn by Edward almost runs through the north and south of the empire. Passing through many important cities in the empire, as for many villages and towns, it can be imagined that after this tour, Allen will know the whole picture of the empire.
Originally, the most common way to reach the imperial capital is to leave the Ark Port and go north along the waterway. It takes about forty days to reach the Bingxing Port, which is close to the northern capital. This route drawn by Edward is quite self-demanding. It takes less time to take the 6th route than the water route, but this route does not avoid those dangerous areas, such as the dark places in the south and the devil's throat in the north, which are both famous and fierce places in the empire. Edward couldn't be ignorant of this, so he did it deliberately.
Allen looked at him, and Edward tapped the route with his hand and smiled: "North-South business line."
Allen suddenly realized that this road was not just his way to the north, and Edward wanted to use this route to open up the commercial road between the north and the south. Although there are trades between the north and the south, generally speaking, the 6-way trade group gathers in Mosesor, the imperial hall. The northern group goes south to the Ark Port, and the south group goes north to the capital Olisga. The reason why Moselor is called the Empire Hall is because it serves as a transit station for North-South commerce.
If you want to bypass this transit station, you can only use the waterway. However, the waterway must pass through several important ports in the empire, with one tax per port and heavy tariffs, and it will be unprofitable. The important thing is that the waterway is only smoother in summer and autumn. As for the spring and winter seasons, the floating ice on the sea hardens in the early spring, and too much ice breaks the voyage. Needless to say in winter, the water surface near the coast is almost frozen and deep, and merchant ships cannot break the ice at all.
