Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

The Parliament of Nobles, in the closed conference hall.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little strange at this moment. The information brought by Marquis Ashan was too explosive, leaving these long-established nobles who had been passed down for many years at a loss.

In the past thousand years, the Kingdom of Fontaine has always been a noble group headed by the royal family, especially the large noble group, which has firmly grasped the core power of the kingdom.

The small and medium-sized nobles seem to have the right to participate in political affairs, but the core decisions of the country are made by the royal family and the great nobles.

As for the Wizards Association and the two major churches in the kingdom, the former is simply a subsidiary organization actively supported by the nobles, while the latter is a pure worker role. The kingdom provides limited missionary rights, and the church provides magical services to the kingdom.

This pattern has lasted for thousands of years and still shows great stability. At least before this unexpected incident, these great nobles believed that it would not be a problem for the current power structure to continue for thousands of years.

But something unexpected happened, such as the ninth-level phoenix, the plane promotion, and the invalidation of the "Sacred Contract". Some nobles with a little knowledge had not even heard of the relevant information.

Of course, in addition to the royal family, the ancestors of the twenty-two great nobles sitting here all had more than one saint. There were even several great nobles who had legendary strong men. Therefore, after a brief exchange of glances between a few smart people, , basically confirmed that Marquis Ashan was not talking nonsense.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became subtle. Although the power of the twenty-two great nobles who were originally at the core of power would be weakened by the addition of a great god, but when it was spread over the heads of so many great nobles, the impact on everyone would be In fact, it is very limited.

And according to Marquis Ashan, the Xisuo plane is about to usher in a chaotic world that has not happened for tens of thousands of years. It is a great blessing to have a ninth-level phoenix covering your head.

On the contrary, the royal family seems to have become a big grievance. The originally aloof status of the royal family has been suppressed. In the future, I am afraid that it will fall into a situation where it is only a little better than the marquis nobles like the Beshan family.

The nobles of the two southwest realms who were closer to the royal family couldn't help but look at King Clovis I, who was occupying the throne. However, this young monarch who had ascended the throne and had accumulated power for decades did not say a word.

Then, they looked at Earl Langton. The Langton family was considered a branch of the royal family. They always followed the leadership of the royal family, and their decisions were often authorized by the royal family.

Today, Earl Langton sat calmly in his seat as if nothing had happened and did not express any opinions.

The silence in the closed conference hall did not last long. Marquis Ashan asked lightly: "Do you have any questions?"

"My Lord Marquis, if we and the Kingdom of Hesse surrender to Crown Prince Philip, what will happen to the relationship between us and the Kingdom of Hesse in the future?"

Marquis Ashan looked at the representative of the Earl Barbos family in the East who spoke, and said expressionlessly: "I don't know, His Majesty Feili has no detailed arrangements."

Regarding Marquis Ashan's vague answer, some of the people present felt a little disappointed, while others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The representative of the Babos family actually asked this question with several meanings.

If Fontaine and Hesse are still independent of each other, but belong to Phoenix Philly together, then how to solve the problems left over from the previous history?

If Fontaine and Hesse merged into one country, which one would be dominant? How should the royal family deal with itself? Will the royal family belong to the level of the great nobility in the future?

But Marquis Ashan avoided this question and did not give a clear answer, not even a hint.

The conference hall fell into silence again.

In fact, everyone wants to be a "surrender", including the great nobles of the second southwest realm who have closer ties with the royal family. After all, it is not a shame to bow to such a ninth-level phoenix, and the actual loss of interests is not great. The most important thing is You can still get a strong protection.

For these nobles, being a "capitulationist" is a sure-fire way to make money without losing money.

But before the royal family made a clear stance, no one was willing to speak first. After all, the great nobles were still great nobles even if they became "surrenderers." The royal family was not the royal family that could suppress the two southwest territories by itself.

Finally, Earl Langton spoke, "Everyone, I think that when faced with force majeure factors, for the sake of the survival of the kingdom, we can make concessions. After all, we are not surrendering to the ordinary legendary crown prince, but to the unprecedented ninth level of the Hisoka plane!"

The royal family finally bowed and gave in, which made many nobles present feel relieved. Although they know that it is unlikely that the royal family will defeat the other party, what if it happens?

Clovis I stood up from the throne, "Last night, the Guardian of Fontaine, Duke Mordina, and His Majesty the Secret Sword Golia returned from the endless void.

He has basically confirmed the authenticity of the ninth-level Phoenix and Lord Philip. The royal family's opinion is that they are willing to serve Lord Philip. "

After all, the royal family did not make impulsive decisions. In fact, the longer the inheritance and the larger the family business, the more conservative and stable it tends to be.

However, although the royal family has made it clear that it surrendered, King Clovis I also brought out his great backer - the legendary strong man.

The warning is very obvious. Although the status of my royal family is no longer as transcendent as it used to be, with one family reaching the same level, but compared to you nobles, my royal family has legendary and powerful people sitting in charge. You should be honest.

"Then let's take a vote and choose to fight or surrender."

The royal family had five votes, the Marquis family had two votes, and the Earl family had one vote. Soon, the voting was completed on the spot, and in the end, they unanimously chose to succumb to Phoenix Fili.

Clovis I looked at the expected voting results and felt somewhat disappointed.

He ascended the throne at a young age. In the past forty years, the royal family has prospered under his leadership, and a large number of powerful people have emerged, including two Saints and seventeen Yaori.

The size of the Crimson Knights, a knighthood directly affiliated with the royal family that is comparable to the ten elite legions of the kingdom, has also increased by 2,000.

More than twenty years ago, under the leadership of Clovis I, the Fontaine Kingdom defeated the Orc Kingdom and expanded its territory to five counties. The Marquis family that controlled the north and influenced the east, the Beins family lost its former prestige due to various methods of Clovis I, and could only live in one county and survive.

Clovis I, who is now fifty-five years old, feels that he is still young and energetic, and the Kingdom of Fontaine will reach new glory under his leadership.

But a sudden change shattered all his illusions.

In the future, the royal family will no longer be the master of the Fontaine Kingdom, and he, the king, may become a rubber stamp in name only.
