Chapter 301: Seeking to usurp the throne
Confrontation, war, confrontation, and war until one side wins.
The war between the Empire and the Kingdom lasted for nearly three months, and so far the Empire had increased its forces three times, in addition to replenishing the lost forces, and the order to intensify the offensive from the rear.
On the other side, Wayne's several urgent requests for help were in vain, as if the entire kingdom seemed to have forgotten about them.
Of the original 50,000 kingdom troops, only 28,000 people have survived, and nearly half of them have been lost in battle.
There is no doubt that Wayne is in a predicament, it is not that he has not thought about bringing in his descendants, but once the descendant troops are pulled over, the plan of the rear cannot ensure that it is carried out in an orderly manner.
Therefore, he could only hope that the old king would see these urgent reports and give help.
Unfortunately, the old king was in a worse situation than Wayne, for a week earlier he had fainted in the council chamber and woke up to find that he could not move, could not speak.
I found a doctor to look at it, but I couldn't find the reason.
In a hurry, he could only let his confidants write down a decree to put Princess Salrut in charge of the kingdom, and promulgate it the next day in front of all the ministers.
However, how could he have thought that the name of his close attendant was actually Yuris?!
Sitting on the throne, the old king, unable to speak, his body could not move, his cheeks trembled, his eyes were filled with endless anger and a hint of fear, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of Yuris, he was already old, death did not matter to him, but Sharlut was still young, once Yuris was put in power, the result could be imagined.
No matter how unwilling he was, the old king had to face this reality, he was not even a wasted man now, he was placed under house arrest in disguise behind his bedroom, and in the council hall, Yuris became the regent of the prison state, and he could only despair but die.
When Uris came to power, he inevitably purged those who were loyal to the old king, and before he succeeded to the throne, he was already thinking about how to pave the way for himself and his children.
Hoss and Nazares, who had been loyal to him early, naturally benefited, one continued to be promoted to prime minister, and the other officially granted real power to the military minister, and came to power from behind the scenes.
The entire Mitland regime fell into the hands of the three.
Yes, Wayne's urgent report, they naturally ignored it, in their opinion, those are just outcasts, how long can they drag on, then they only need to clean up the mess.
Sitting on the throne and caressing the throne of power that he had so longed for, Yuris's face was mesmerized, and he was finally able to experience what it was like to dominate everything.
At this moment, Hoth and Nazares came together, and when they saw Yuris like this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and congratulated in unison, "Congratulations to Your Highness for getting your wish and becoming the absolute ruler of my Mittland!" ”
Yuris laughed, his laughter full of joy, "If it weren't for the two of you, I wouldn't be where I am today, and if I want to say congratulations, I should also congratulate you, my dear Prime Minister and Minister of War." ”
The two who had already tasted the sweetness glanced at each other and smiled.
After laughing, Yuris couldn't help but wonder, "The two ministers are here..."
Nazareth smiled playfully, "Naturally, it's for the war ahead." ”
"Oh? What are your thoughts? Let's hear about it. ”
Hoss spoke out at the right time, "Your Highness, with the current situation, it is no longer suitable to go to war, I have a proposal..."
Three days later, Wayne, who had just repelled another wave of Imperial attacks, received a secret message from Sonia.
A glance swept over the ten lines, and his face was cloudy.
After a while, Griffith opened the curtain and entered the account, and when he saw Wayne's ugly expression, he couldn't help asking, "Is it a loss in the war?" Or..."
Wayne tossed the secret letter to her and said with an ugly face, "Look at it, this is news from Sonia. ”
Sonia, nicknamed the Witch of the Eagle, Griffith had met her a few times in the past, and as a spy who delivered important information to Wayne, she knew how well informed this woman was.
I just don't know what the news is, why does it make Wayne's face so ugly?
With curiosity, she read carefully, and her face instantly became no better than Wayne's, but when she slapped the secret letter on the table, she said angrily, "It's shameless, the front is fighting life and death, but the rear is trying to plot to usurp the throne, don't they know that once the battle with the Imperial Army is lost, the other party will think that our strength is no longer as good as theirs, and when the Empire attacks, will they still be able to sit in peace?!" ”
"You think they don't know? They just know too well that they can give up a lot of things for the sake of power and desire. Wayne said, gesturing to the ground beneath his feet and sneering, "Like the land we're standing on right now." ”
Griffith's face changed suddenly, "You mean, they're going to cede the Inu Province?" ”
"Most likely, no, absolutely would, give them time to consolidate their power." Wayne was sure.
Griffith was silent, the anger in her heart turning into flames that burned her heart at this moment.
Just as there was a moment of silence between the two, Casgar opened the curtain and entered, "The messenger of Asamos has arrived. ”
Wayne and Griffith glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of coldness in each other's eyes.
