Chapter 271: Heir
Joyce, who represented the navy, was once designated queen, and she also saved many fugitive nobles during William's massacre. Joyce has a very high prestige among the Terrans, and even though the Terrans have weakened in the Great Purge, they still have a main city and are still nominally co-masters of the Shangjiang region.
Bartlett represents angels, and now Cloud Everdale has allowed Shangjiang City to let go of recruiting angels, although due to the limitations of resources, Shangjiang can't recruit too many angels, but the will of these ultimate creatures cannot be ignored. Howard was the last direct royal family, and he lost his allegiance to the angels when he was away. Bartlett is Howard's appointed commander of the angels, and his opinion is nothing that anyone can ignore.
Da Liang's identity is more complicated in Shangjiang City, a nobleman who suddenly swooped up, Joshua's rebellion failed because of him, and the chaos caused by the jealous demon king was suppressed by him. He maintained good relations with many of the big names in the Shangjiang area, including Joshua, Joyce, and Bartlett here.
The earl himself had a powerful private army with the existence of the ultimate creature, and the Marquis of Stanley, the lord of Jiading City, the city with the greatest potential in Shangjiang, was obedient to him. He could see Holy Bella at will, and only Howard could do it in the entire royal palace; He was able to get the Fear King's gaze from Ergers, which was a bit perverted......
These three people are the real power faction in the Shangjiang area.
It can be said that as long as the three of them are willing to support, Joshua can smoothly ascend to the throne.
Joshua was going to be king.
Da Liang did not answer immediately, and Bartlett remained silent.
If Howard does fall into the hands of hell, it will be difficult for them to get it back, whether they live or die. In this extraordinary period, Shangjiang City really needs a successor who will ascend the throne as the new king of the East China Sea when necessary, and lead this tired city to hold on.
But Joshua wasn't the only option.
Joyce, who won the naval battle of Jeju, already had enough prestige to sit on this throne.
Of course, Da Liang is willing to support Joyce to become king, so that he can be in Shangjiang City......
The dog nobles in Shangjiang City,
Even if you come to more than a dozen,
Thousands of them,
I can put little shoes on all of you.
(Narrator: Is it so great to hug the Queen's thigh?) )
Well!
Sorry, hugging the queen's thigh means you can do whatever you want.
Come on! Let these noble lords wear women's clothes.
Wahahahaha......
Da Liang waited on the side for Joyce to become the queen, what kind of beautiful life he would live.
Bartlett on the side also had his own ideas.
As an archangel who has been following Howard on his expedition, Bartlett has a very deep friendship with Howard. In the entire Shangjiang City, he most hopes that Howard can be safe, and if there is a chance to rescue Howard, he is willing to fight with his life.
But if Howard can't return, a new allegiance is something he must consider.
As an archangel, Bartlett certainly wants the East Sea King to be a human race, and Joyce also has all the conditions to become a queen.
She is strong and has potential. In order to assist William in ruling Shangjiang, he was specially trained by the King of the East China Sea.
The Terran nobles of Shangjiang City support her, Bartlett looks at Da Liang who is standing there, and Earl Flying Dust and Marquis Stanley will also support her.
As long as the angels also support it, Joyce will have the political capital to be able to share Joshua's political capital, and the only thing that worries him is ...... She's too young.
Will she be able to keep the scheming Joshua at bay?
If Joyce becomes queen, does she have what it takes to prevent infighting or civil strife in Shangjiang?
However, Bartlett decided that if Joyce was willing to be king, he would lead the angels to pledge allegiance to her.
Bartlett's concerns were also considered by Joyce.
Shangjiang needs to be stable more than ever, and Joshua's influence in the Shangjiang region is very large, and it is important that he has enough ambition for the throne.
Joyce said, "I agree, if we can't find His Majesty before the news of His Majesty's disappearance spreads, I am willing to make you king." ”
Joyce had no ambitions for the throne. In her opinion, as long as the orthodoxy of the Terrans in Shangjiang can be maintained, Joshua is the best candidate to inherit the throne.
Da Liang's dream of hugging the queen's thigh was punctured like this, and he hurriedly said before Bartlett made a statement: "I am willing to serve Duke Joshua as king when there must be a king in Shangjiang City. But...... I think that the throne of the King of the East China Sea should one day be returned to the hands of the Terrans, and that such a thing as today should not happen. Lord Joshua, I don't mean anything else, because according to the current situation in Shangjiang City, becoming a king requires more responsibilities and more dangers.
I hope that in the event of an accident, we have a legitimate successor to continue to fulfill the heavy responsibility of protecting this city. Therefore, I propose that you be able to declare the Marquis of Joyce the first in line to the throne of the East Sea when we need the Duke to inherit the throne. ”
Joyce looked at Da Liang, who gave her a shining smile.
Regarding Da Liang's suggestion, Barteret echoed: "Count Da Liang is right, if necessary, I will support Duke Joshua to become our king, but I also hope that the throne of the King of the East China Sea will one day return to the hands of the human race." Lord Duke, as long as you declare that your successor will be a Terran when you inherit the throne, you will receive the allegiance of me and the angels, and I agree that the first in line to the throne is the Marquis of Joyce. ”
Joshua thought about it, and now the only one in the entire Shangjiang City who could compete with him for the throne was Joyce, and Joyce was obviously not interested in the throne. But Da Liang and Bartlett seem to be unwilling to let the throne fall into the hands of an elf, but Joyce does not fight, and they have no choice but to retreat and fight for a chance for the Terrans to regain the throne.
It's just that according to the life span of the elves, Joshua can sit on the throne for hundreds of years as long as he wears the crown, and no one knows what will happen at that time.
Joshua said, "I can promise you that as soon as I become the king of the East Sea, I will declare that my heir will always be a Terran, and the Marquis of Joyce will be my first in line to the throne." ”
Da Liang said: "Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic, maybe we will find Your Majesty soon." Macaulay, the city lord of Qingpu City, is a fallen angel, maybe he knows where His Majesty is. ”
Joyce said, "Yes, the search for His Majesty is the most important thing right now. Please order Jiading City, Songjiang City, and Fengxian City to march to Qingpu City, and I will go to Qingpu City with Earl Daliang and Lord Bartlett to arrest Macaulay. ”
Da Liang said: "I think we should block Flea Street first. ”
