Gawain had once guessed that Wales was not greedy for the throne, but to be honest, he didn't expect the other party to do it so thoroughly and go to such an extreme.
He not only overthrew himself, but also broke Ansu's 700-year-old noble rule. The king is the lord of the lord, and the lord is the extension of the king.
As a breaker of this rule, he led the angry nobles to overthrow him, and when he stepped down, Anzu's king-noble structure would also open an irreparable rift, and the system would become easy to destroy. and difficult to recover.
Some people saw this, but they chose to remain silent, some people didn't see this, they were immersed in the strange passion brought about by overthrowing a king, and some were more astute, they noticed the surging scene The dark tide and the steel chariot of the Cecils not far away.
The new era has come. The old school has rejected this new era, but the new era has come.
run over.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wales took off his crown calmly, and it was not until he handed the crown to the attendants beside him that the nobles and soldiers at the scene reacted and a little commotion arose. A touch of authenticity, a real confirmation that the king, who had only been on the throne for eight days, had lifted himself from the throne, and after confirming this, some people were at a loss.
The king is gone... what about the new king
Baldwin Franklin was not silent for too long. Before the commotion spread, he took a step forward and raised the mithril plate in his hand.
"Now that the time has come, I will announce to you a special law passed on only between the Duke of the Protector and the royal family. The form is divided into several parts and sealed in four places. Both Grand Duchess Victoria Wilde and I can prove that this law is true and effective.
"This is the Emergency Succession Act, which reads as follows"
As this secret regulation that had been sealed for seven hundred years was announced, everyone's eyes widened.
This exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
Pairs of astonished eyes exchanged glances in the air. The crowd on the edge whispered uncontrollably, while the nobles in the center fell into a weird silence. No one raised any doubts.
Because knowledge of current affairs has always been one of the noble virtues, with their keenness, they have already realized that today is destined to change.
"Today, the Moen bloodline has no direct heirs available, and all collateral branches are unable to bear the weight of the crown. The Ansu kingship is vacant, and the first founding duke is still alive. According to this emergency succession law, Gawain-Sisi Grand Duke Er will automatically become the new king.
"Duke Cecil, you can take over this oath."
Baldwin sent the mithril plate held in his hand to Gao Wen, and quietly watched the founding duke in front of him.
Pairs of eyes on the square also raised their eyes, staring intently at the center of the scene.
Gawain smiled, and stretched out his hand to the Mithril oath: "Indeed, this country needs a protector and ruler now, otherwise it probably won't survive this winter..."
Hearing these words, the nobles in the square showed complex smiles, and then they lowered their heads slightly one by one, hiding all the changes in their eyes, and got ready to applaud the new king.
Gao Wen's hand lightly brushed over the Mithril Oath.
"But I'm not going to take over the crown from Charlie's legacy."
The solid mithril metal plate silently turned into fine ash, blowing away with the wind.
The calmness on Duke Baldwin's face was broken. He watched all this in astonishment and surprise. Even Victoria next to him couldn't help showing a hint of shock on his face. Only Wales standing behind Gawain had an expression. Still indifferent, there was an imperceptible smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.
The nobles in the square lowered their heads and waited for a long time, but they did not wait for the signal from Duke Baldwin to cheer. They raised their heads in confusion, and finally saw the last scene of the powder flying with the wind, so they kept screaming in low voices.
Gao Wen rubbed his hands, wiped off the last bit of mithril powder from his fingertips, and turned his head to look at the square:
"Anzu's kingship is over, it started with Moen, it ended with Moen, it will end with dignity, not embarrassingly forced to continue Ansu's last king held the country, I hope you will remember that .
"This land will live on, this disaster will end, new shoots will grow from the burned land, but 'Ansu' is history, and a new country will be established here to protect this land and People of this land, I hope you understand this.
"I promise that this process will be smooth and stable. This land will eventually be prosperous and strong, and will never fall into chaos and decline. I also promise that all acts of disrupting order will be severely punished. This is to protect everyone safety and rights.
"This is not a suggestion, but a notice. I have clearly informed everyone at the scene. Next, the opponents will come out and take a step forward."
Needle drop could be heard in the whole square, only the chariots and mana warriors of Cecil Legion watched all this silently, without sorrow or joy, and the discipline was in order.
After an unbearable silence that seemed to last as long as a century, Victoria suddenly said softly: "I support."
Duke Baldwin glanced at the Duchess of the North.
The southern border is Cecil's territory, the eastern border has already existed in name only, and the northern border has declared its allegiance. Most of the Holy Spirit Plain is under the actual control of Cecil's army, and the capital is within the range of those war machines.
It doesn't make any difference whether you support it or not, let alone Gao Wen? Cecil already has the qualifications to inherit the royal power, and what he is doing now is just a step forward in this qualification.
"I support it." The Grand Duke of the Western Territory stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
Gawain nodded to the two guardian dukes, glanced at the crowd in the square, and smiled slightly: "Very well, if there is no objection, then I will fulfill my promise."
Then he said: "Since we are about to start a new history, we have a lot of things to do. Please pack your bags as soon as possible and return to the capital. I will discuss with the two guardian dukes how to restore order as soon as possible and how to formulate rules as soon as possible. The framework of the country, how to resume production as soon as possible. In addition, this crisis is far from over, I believe that you who are the main fighters can also understand that we have not yet reached the time to relax. "
At the end, Gawain used the imminent crisis as a reminder to those nobles in the royal capital who were in a state of bewilderment. He was sure that this would temporarily boost their spirits and reduce possible chaos in the future.
This drama unfolded in an unexpected way and ended in an unexpected way. The mighty team reorganized and headed for the capital in the gradually sinking sunset.
Cecil's army has entered the city.
The mighty and awe-inspiring chariot tracks crushed the ancient stone pavement of Saint-Sunil, and the fully armed magic combat soldiers marched in neat steps, and there were also white knights carrying warhammers walking in front of the queue, Saint-Sunil Light floats, flags flutter.
Citizens who had just survived the life-and-death crisis walked to both sides of the street. They surrounded the team entering the city and saluted with curiosity and awe. Sallow-faced and emaciated civilians and serfs knelt by the side of the road, as if they were ready to kiss the boots and footprints of the fel combat soldiers at any moment.
They are numb and enthusiastic, joyful and terrified.
Amber and Gao Wen stood together in the chariot, leaning half out of the chariot (Huber stepped on the stool).
Looking at the scene on both sides of the road and seeing those people prostrate on the ground, the half-elf lady couldn't help frowning: "You will let these people stand up in the future, right?"
"Of course, just like I did in the south."
"I know, I'm just confirming again..." Amber said softly, "I just feel a little flustered... You actually took this step... Although the government affairs department did make a plan before, and all departments have also made preparations, But I'm afraid no one expected it to be so fast."
Gawain glanced at the slightly cute half-elf, and couldn't help but smile: "I said, I will hit the capital."
Behind the team, Wales? Moen turned his head and looked back at the majestic city wall of San Sunil.
On the city wall soaked in countless blood, experienced countless attacks, and defended by knights and soldiers with their lives, a King Ansu Banner with a blue background and a gold border is slowly lowering.
The person who carried out the flag-lowering there was the head of the Royal Knights, Cohen Rollen. This is the dignity left by Duke Cecil to the royal family of Moen.
Beside Wales, the stout and grey-haired Cromwell? Earl of White Mountain also looked back at the lowering royal flag, watching the flag being dyed with a hazy glow in the setting sun, watching it completely Disappearing on the city wall, the Earl of Baishan finally couldn't help but choked up: "Your Majesty, the king's flag has been lowered, I..."
"I am no longer king," Wales corrected aloud, "and a new flag will rise. Count White Mountain, stand tall, you and your family are loyal to this country, and this country has not fallen .”
With dwarf blood, Cromwell, who is extremely special among the many nobles in Ansu? The Earl of White Mountain took a light breath: "I salute you."
Ansu's royal flag was lowered, and the flag representing Cecil began to fly on the city wall of San Sunil. Although the framework of the new country has not yet been established, and many affairs such as the transfer of power have not really started, just the change of the flag is enough. Enough to convey a lot of information.
On the tallest spire of Silver Castle, a figure in a lavender gauze skirt and a translucent veil was quietly looking down on this "ancient" human royal city and the change of the flag in the distance.
A moment later, Melita Purnia pressed her ear, and the pale golden communication interface appeared before her eyes.
"The kingship of Ansu has changed, and Gawain Cecil will become the new master of this country, but he doesn't seem to choose to inherit the title of King Ansu, but wants to establish a new country more radically."
The lines on the communication interface trembled, and rustling sounds came from it: "...the change of kingship was expected... It's just that he didn't inherit the throne but chose to end Ansu's kingship, which is surprising, but understandable. This human kingdom has been completely reshuffled, it is much easier to paint on a piece of white paper than to modify and modify an old oil painting... "
Melita blinked: "How was my last report...?"
The voice on the opposite side of the communication interface was quiet for two seconds before he said with a sigh: "The jury finally decided to accept your statement and not pursue your unauthorized actions, but the chairman of the jury has something for me to remind you in private."
Melita suddenly became nervous: "You won't deduct my wages, will you?!"
"...The chairman of the council hopes that you will not be so blatant when you take advantage of the loophole next time, and at least describe the reason more mellowly, 'Undertaking the freight business does not count as meddling in the war, because the freight is charged', this kind of statement is directly written in the report, which makes everyone very upset. It’s difficult, did you really never get thrown to the ground when you were an egg?”
"The last sentence was also said by the chairman of the council?"
"I said so."
Melita exhaled and patted her chest: "Oh, that's okay..."
There seemed to be a lot of Tarronde swearing coming from the other side of the communicator, but Melita? Looking at the cathedral not far away, which was still shrouded in holy light, and everything seemed to be normal, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
"This year's human beings...there are too many variables...
"But if you can use these variables to break free from the shackles, that would be great."
