Chapter 681 Buffer Period

The breakthrough of the fourth princess, Osfia, disrupted all the arrangements of the eldest prince.

For the eldest prince, even if the other princes and princesses broke through, it was not as difficult for him as the breakthrough of the fourth princess.

After all, the other party had too many similarities with the great emperor Gloria thousands of years ago. At this critical moment, she suddenly broke through the ninth level, which was obviously well prepared.

Female, ranked fourth, blue eyes, and a face that was somewhat similar to that of the great emperor Gloria, she was much more politically correct than him.

After breaking through the ninth level, the fourth princess openly went to the mausoleum of the great emperors of all dynasties on the grounds that she had broken through the ninth level, and met the three royal guardians who guarded the mausoleum and the royal blood crystal.

The result this time was just the opposite of the eldest prince. The Guardian of the Stars showed a good impression of the fourth princess, while the Heart of Darkness became cold, and Gray still looked like he had nothing to do with it.

Walking out of the plane gate of the royal mausoleum, the fourth princess Osfia was in a good mood.

Her own strength broke through to the ninth level, and she successfully gained the support of a royal guardian. Most of the tricks that the eldest prince could use on her were completely ineffective.

At this time, she suddenly felt something in her heart, and her blue eyes looked towards the side of the royal back garden.

In the direction she was looking at, there was a small lake as clear as a sapphire, and the lakeside was spreading with a classical elf-style white stone corridor leading to the lake center pavilion.

Under the shadow of the relief columns, the eldest prince Ferdinand, who was dressed in a golden robe, stood there quietly, looking at her with dark golden eyes.

When their eyes met, it seemed as if a flash of lightning passed through the air.

Looking at the silent eldest prince, the fourth princess's lips curled up slightly, smiled silently, and bent her knees gracefully to lift her skirt, just like she had met the eldest prince countless times in the past.

"..."

Silently watching the fourth princess turn and leave, the eldest prince with a gloomy face reached deep into his arms and held a light black crystal ball.

The crystal ball lit up slightly, and a string of brief information was transmitted into his mind, as if silently mocking him.

[The interception operation failed, and the target was just a substitute. ]

"A bunch of trash, forget it... If this level of action can really achieve the goal, then she is not my fourth sister who is often compared with Emperor Gloria."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the eldest prince Ferdinand also turned and left.

He originally wanted to stop the fourth princess from entering the royal mausoleum, but he was still a step too late.

As the fourth princess contacted the guardian and won the favor of the guardian of the stars, it was not easy for him to secretly remove the fourth princess.

Then, if you want to sit in that position, you can only compete with the comprehensive strength of your own subordinates and the number of ninth-level supporters.

After several days of open and covert fighting, finally, under the influence of the will of the three guardians, the eldest prince and the fourth princess came up with a weird [House of Lords] mechanism.

The House of Lords is composed of nine princes and princesses who temporarily act as agents of state affairs. The eldest prince and the fourth princess have a veto.

If the eldest prince and the fourth princess have different opinions on something and the discussion fails, the three guardians will make the final decision.

This situation will happen because the eldest prince and the fourth princess are fighting out of helplessness.

Although Gloria III is currently missing, he is not dead after all, so the two princes and princesses dare not really start a bloody purge and then ascend to the throne.

After all, Gloria III's "Breakthrough Legend" disappearance is only a guess at present, and no one knows what the situation is.

What if he can come back?

Will the winner send his father back personally?

Although the princes and princesses may not mind doing it for them, the three guardians finally decided to give Gloria III a three-year buffer period.

During these three years, many princes and princesses must work hard to show their value, learn how to manage the empire, and let them develop their own people throughout the empire for a peaceful handover in the future.

If Gloria III can successfully return during these three years, everything will return to normal.

If the emperor is still missing after three years, he can only be treated as an accidental death. At the same time, the royal descendant who performs the best within these three years will become the next emperor of the empire.

.

….….

In the City Lord's Mansion, Silver Star City.

"Have you completed the statistics? How much are our losses?"

Sitting behind the desk of the city lord's adjutant, Anvis, wearing a [Levin Boli] vest, asked casually after reviewing the documents sent by Annie in person.

"Mr. Boli, our situation is not optimistic."

Standing on the side of the desk with a serious face, Annie calmed down and recalled the tragic situation of the city she had personally investigated before.

"Silver Star City was protected by the family's guardian, His Majesty, so the main body was not damaged, but the number of registered citizens who died directly in the war was about 3,000.

The number of citizens who suffered from mental problems to varying degrees due to the battle of His Majesty's battle exceeded 20,000, and the number of deaths of foreigners could not be counted.

The Forged Iron City was hit by the aftermath of an attack by His Majesty, and the southwest area of ​​the city and the west side of the Maodun District were completely wiped out, and about 7,000 citizens were missing...

The protective magic circle of Black Rock City was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle of His Majesty's battle, and then it was looted by several high-level professionals with hidden identities. Some buildings in the city were damaged, and the number of casualties was about 1,100..."

Annie carefully observed Avis's expression while reporting the war damage statistics of major cities.

However, until she finished reporting all the damage reports, Avis's expression was still calm.

"Very good."

Looking at Annie who was looking at him nervously, Avis smiled and sent her away casually.

On the night when the Songxing Esoteric Cult attacked, the two major families finally won the victory with difficulty.

The three apostles of the Songxing Esoteric Cult were not strong among the ninth-level. Relying on the layers of protective magic arrays, the two guardians were initially at ease and even had time to guard against other hidden ninth-level enemies.

But after finding that they could not break through the enemy's defense, one of the apostles launched [God's Descent] and turned into a round of dark green scorching sun.

At that moment, the round of light ball even gave Avis a bit of the oppression of the terrifying holy light figure in his memory.

Then, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Layers of protective magic arrays shattered like bubbles, and the two ninth-level guardians also had a hard time resisting.

The family's ninth-level [Silver Storm] Esvel Olivendi tried to sneak attack the apostle in the [God's Descent] state, but unfortunately was hit by the opponent's strange attack and died because he could not resist the burning of the dark green flames.

Fortunately, when the apostle was about to break through the defense line of the two ninth-level guardians, the God's Descent time could not be maintained, and his body completely turned into a ball of green flames and collapsed, otherwise the defense line might really be broken.
