Chapter 212: The Internal Strife of the Kingdom of Beamon
And the succession to the throne of the Beamon Kingdom is very distinctive, and it is not a lifelong system, but a ten-year election. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, if the old king dies of illness or is impeached, he can be temporarily elected. But under normal circumstances, such a election, the current king is more advantageous.
As for the candidates for the king, it is not only the princes of the old king, but all the people who have signed up to run for the election, that is, the Tiger of the Tiger Clan and the Lion of the Rhine Clan.
Since the current king Wadison is already old and will face such a shocking chaos as the invasion of the demons, he thinks that he is already in good spirits, so he will not seek re-election and is ready to give up the throne to the new king in the prime of life.
The voters who are eligible for the election are composed of members of the House of Lords, including the heads of various orc clans, and high-ranking priests. And before the election, there will be a Damur congress. In the final stage of the conference, the candidates will defend and compete in martial arts to attract votes, which is also a kind of display.
After all, the customs of the Beamon Kingdom are more advocating force, and basically all orcs believe that the king who leads them must also have superb martial arts. Of course, winning at the Damur Conference does not mean that you will be elected. But such a victory will also certainly attract neutral voters and increase the success rate of the election.
But because the demons are about to invade, the kingdom of Beamon is gradually divided into two factions. For the sake of distinction, let's call one faction the unionists, and the other faction the conservatives.
Unionists tend to unite with the Terrans. Its representative figure is Prince Delen, the fifth son of King Waldison. And the proposition of this faction is: the demon race is the great enemy of all intelligent beings in the entire continent, so we should work together to put aside the internal strife first and jointly resist the invasion of the demon race.
And the reasons for this are:
1. One of the three saints who sacrificed was the Divine Comedy shaman of the Beamon Kingdom, so the oracle obtained was also the oracle of the god of war. Therefore, the union of the human race and the elven race is the command of the god of war;
2. It is not clear at all how big the scale of the demon invasion is. If it is really overwhelming, but the orcs are still intriguing with the human race and the elf race, it is the way to bring about their own destruction;
3. The more you pay and the greater the contribution, the more benefits you will receive. The Kingdom of Beamon can take this opportunity to ask for a large number of scarce materials, so that the national strength of the entire kingdom can be raised to a higher level. And with his military exploits, he may be able to get a piece of the pie after the war, so that the kingdom of Beamon can get out of this desolate western edge;
4. Although the passage of the demon invasion is likely to be in the Terran, it is also very unlikely that it is here in the Beamon Kingdom, and it is possible that several passages are opened at the same time. If the orcs are half-hearted in the preparation stage, in case of a single event, the demons invade the Beamon Kingdom first, then the support of the human race will definitely be discounted, it will be like lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.
The conservatives are more inclined to continue to retreat themselves, although they also want to unite with the human race and the elven race, but they must be conservative in their specific actions, and they must not use the elite troops of the Beamon Kingdom without a specific threat to the Beamon Kingdom. And its representative figure is Prince Dezhen, the second son of King Wardison.
And the reasons for this are:
1. A conservative union is also a union, which does not contradict the oracle of the god of war;
2. After so many years of development, the military strength of various ethnic groups on the mainland has also developed greatly. And the demon race is in the demon realm with harsh conditions, that is, the individual strength is stronger, but the fertility rate cannot go up. Compared with the Terrans, the overall strength is getting farther and farther away. So it's not that scary. Taking a step back, even if the strength of the demon clan is unexpected, it will not be too late to unite with all their strength when the time comes;
3. As long as you make a joint statement, there will be some of those scarce materials. Even when the Terrans are in danger, they can make a big knock, maybe more than they can get by joining forces with all their might;
4. The possibility of invading the passage in the Kingdom of Beamon is too small. For the sake of such a small possibility, it is unwise to gamble on the fortune of the country to press all the kingdom of Beamon, which is very unwise and unnecessary. It's better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, maybe the human and demon races will lose both, so that the Beamon Kingdom can rise again.
It should be said that from the perspective of the Bimon Kingdom, in fact, the reasons of these two factions are reasonable.
The idea of the United faction is relatively stable, that is, to obtain the distribution of post-war benefits by virtue of the orcs' military exploits, and not to play any scheming with the human race and the elf race.
On the contrary, the conservatives' proposition is more radical, that is, they compete with each other and make profits for fishermen. But it seems to be very rewarding, and it sounds beautiful and demagogic. But it's also too risky, because no one is stupid and can't fail to see that you're holding a sandpiper and fighting for it.
When the time comes, the human race will either simply tear their faces and fight each other, or the disaster will move eastward and lead the demon army to the Beamon Kingdom. Even after the war, in order to take revenge, declare the Beamon Kingdom as an accomplice of the demon race, then it will face the danger of extinction.
However, until the results are in, it is impossible to say which of these two schools of thought is right and who is wrong. Although the focus of their considerations is different, it is undeniable that they are all thinking about the good of the kingdom of Bimon.
And the candidates for the throne who have signed up this time are all holding the views of these two factions. And Deleng and Dezhen are the two with the highest voices. Therefore, in the original battle of national policy, the two factions could sit down calmly and negotiate a compromise, but they did not expect to be involved in the whirlpool of the battle for the throne all of a sudden, and the situation suddenly became complicated.
Mankind is ignorant of this undercurrent in the kingdom of Beamon, or rather, the open and secret battles that have gradually become fierce to the point of the raging waves. Mankind's long-term indifference to ignorant and backward orcs, coupled with the strict blockade of the Beamon Kingdom, and the lack of information about the guide, have caused this evil result. Otherwise, the Terrans would definitely fight one faction and one faction, because which faction the national policy of the Beamon Kingdom tends to be very different for the Terrans.
But this qiē doesn't matter to Feigul. No matter what, it is impossible for her identity as a fox girl to change, and she can only consider it from the perspective of the orc kingdom. And which of the Unionists and the conservatives is right or wrong? No matter how powerful his calculations are, it is impossible for Feigul to analyze the results. Because of the biggest variables, the strength of the demon race and the plan of the demon invasion, all the people in the Yuansheng Continent are also ignorant.
So what to do? Figul can only think about it from her own point of view.
Since Fegul wants to go further in honor and status, she must choose a faction to support. And this faction must also be the one who succeeds to the throne. In this way, Figul can win more benefits for himself afterwards.
And because of her status as the Holy Maiden of Figul, she had a high influence among the priests of the temple, especially the young ones. Therefore, at the beginning, the two princes, Deleng and Dezhen, tried their best to win her over and wanted to draw her to their side.
After that, both sides came up with a number of conditions, and even resorted to a series of strategies, including the "beautiful man plan". Anyway, in comparison, the conditions on both sides are similar.
It is worth mentioning that the old king Wardison has always maintained a neutral attitude, neither expressing his support for which faction's proposition, nor showing which son he likes. He just remained silent and watched his two sons fight openly and secretly.
Then it's up to Figul to choose. And Fei Guli's choice is also very simple: since the strength is evenly matched, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior, so choose one that is pleasing to the eye! So Deleng, who has always tied his blonde hair into braids, defeated Dezhen, who has always been wearing long hair.
Shaking her head and sighing, this woman's choice is really unimaginable. The reason for the choice turned out to be ......? Forget it, this is at least ...... The great victory of the pigtail brother drama in the heterogeneous plane!
Of course, this kind of pleasing to the eye has nothing to do with love, marriage or anything. According to the customs of the Bimon Kingdom, no matter who is elected as the new king, the position of the queen will definitely be chosen among the royal family, and a fox girl will not be allowed to take the throne.
In this regard, Figul is quite sober. As for Deleng's promise that he would be crowned a concubine, Fei Guli was also noncommittal. But in order to make Deleng's election, she also did not deny it in public. And the two often travel together. created a very vague ambiguous relationship, just to arouse the imagination of others.
After the selection was completed, Figul took action. Helped Prince Delen to pull votes, contributed money and efforts before and after the saddle, and even accompanied Delen to visit the Verona Empire to increase Prince Delen's popularity.
And these behaviors have had an immediate effect. Originally, Deleng and Dezhen were indistinguishable, but Fei Guli's important bargaining chip was put on the scale, which immediately increased the possibility of Deleng's election.
As the Damur Congress was about to begin, the Kingdom of Bimon welcomed a delegation from the Verona Empire, a member of the United Empire, an important supporter of Prince Delen. This made Deleng's election even more certain.
So looking at the young Verona Imperial princess couple in front of her, Figuri seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. In the near future, Deleng will become the new king. And after he ascends the throne, he will also support Feigul to gain a higher status in the temple. After the invasion of the demons, the temple priest group, which has a high reputation in the army and the people of the Beamon Kingdom, will definitely gain more real power. At that time, Feigul will also rise to the top.
If you make a brilliant feat in the war with the demons. It is not impossible for Fegul to become the future shaman of the Divine Comedy. It can be said that he has embarked on a broad road of life.
At this time, Fei Guli thought of the other two traversers, and she was extremely proud in her heart: "Hehe! Sister is already ahead!
