Steel steam and flame

"And the nature of the first twelve knights of the Round Table was to serve as a machine to win wars, which makes each knight a symbol of power and strength. The interests involved in them are also very complicated. Usually During the period, the replacement of a Knight of the Round Table could stir up the four forces in the empire. This time, four vacancies were suddenly available. The intensity of the game among the top leaders of the empire can be imagined." Ye Jielin continued, " But the real vacancies for the Cavaliers have little to do with us. Those are matters for the senior management. And our strength is not qualified at all."

"The thing that is relevant to us is the position of the knight's attendant." Cassia said that there were specific things written in the document, and he remembered it clearly. "According to the document, each Knight of the Round Table has three positions as knight attendants, and these attendants have priority to inherit the position of Knight of the Round Table."

Ye Jielin nodded, "It is this rule that has become the trigger for military schools and seminaries to arrange tasks regardless of the attrition rate. In the past, the first step for the replacement of the Knights of the Round Table was for the major forces to elect their own Candidates, and then perform difficult knight tasks together, and finally be uniformly elected by the parliament based on the performance and results of completing the tasks. At that time, the knights were vacant, and only those who met the corresponding requirements could have the opportunity to participate. But now this Now that the rules have come out, the battle for the position of knights has an inseparable relationship with us. Because as long as the three attendants of each knight are determined, then in the near future, one of the three will definitely become the next Knights of the Round Table. This represents the throne of power and status, and no one will let it go easily."

"And the current empire is on the brink of war. No one can guarantee that they will survive the war. Of course, the same goes for the Knights of the Round Table. And as the twelve most dazzling knights in the empire, the tasks they perform may be even longer. It is even more dangerous, which makes their lives even more insecure. You know, after every war, one or two people in high positions will always die, whether they are knights or generals. "Ye Jielin said with a nice curve at the corner of her mouth, a smile with unknown meaning. "Just like the war that was bound to happen after the Red Star was detected. These things are necessary every time."

Cassia repeated Ye Jielin's words in her mind, "In other words, whether they are Knights of the Round Table or generals, whether they really died in the hands of the enemy, or they will be secretly cleaned up by their own people, in fact, no one To care, what everyone cares about is the position left vacant after their death. While ensuring that the empire will not lose the war, some people want to rely on this newly introduced inheritance rule to make it even worse. Maybe every time before, a position was left vacant. Two positions are enough, but this time, someone wants to take as many of these knight positions as possible into his own hands."

"That's it, and it's not that 'someone' thinks so, but 'everyone' thinks so. Because in the empire, the origins of every Knight of the Round Table are different. Although it is not visible on the surface, but all the time, It has never happened that two Knights of the Round Table belong to the same force. But this time the new rules for attendants are introduced, the balance that has been maintained may be broken." Ye Jielin frowned and thought for a moment, " Because when the 36 knight attendants are determined and the final knight of the Round Table is chosen to follow, the decision is made by drawing lots, instead of the parliament secretly balancing the distribution according to different forces."

"Although there is uncertainty and randomness in this, as long as the base among the 36 attendants is large enough, things that break the balance will happen sooner or later." Cassia said, "But why do you know that the empire is on the edge of war? The parliament still wants to pass this bill that is almost certain to stir up internal troubles? Are they really so confident in the empire?"

Ye Jielin exhaled and said with some helplessness: "Of course, this is an empire, which has stood for thousands of years. If you want to overthrow this behemoth, you can only rely on the power on the Houxiang Continent, whether it is the Far Sea Commonwealth or the Flame Alliance. It's all impossible. And even if these two behemoths join forces, it's also impossible. Just like how powerful the empire is, it still hasn't been able to defeat the Far Sea Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance after a thousand years. The components of the three superpowers were all dragged into the Houxiang Continent. Moreover, the Parliament is just a review team, and the members are all from the four forces. Although everyone restricts each other, when the interests are consistent , their eating postures are all equally ugly. The reason why the document can be issued is because every force needs an opportunity to show off, or it can be said to be a curtain. One of them is of course used to cover their ugly eating postures. , and the second is to take this opportunity to let them clean their internal structures regularly. Just like the steam furnaces that were cleaned and repaired every once in a while, the interior of these huge forces is not a complete and flawless hard steel plate. . They also need to regularly clean up internal cancers and accumulated garbage, and repair gaps in time to prevent them from suddenly collapsing due to too many moths. They love themselves far more than they love the empire."

"But even so, you can rest assured. When the empire faces the risk of destruction, they will definitely unite together. No matter how swollen their hearts are, they still know that they are dependent on the empire. If the empire falls, they will Of course, the rights you rely on will disappear in that moment. In war, you have to trust those at the top. They are more afraid of the empire's defeat than you are. This is absolutely true."

Ye Jielin laughed out loud at this time, looked at Cassia's face and said again: "But fortunately, we don't have to worry about these things. Sometimes it is good to just follow orders and do things. So we just stay in the military with peace of mind." Just study hard in the school and complete every mission safely. Those things are still too far away from us. Of course it is good to get a position as an attendant. By then, not only the forces behind me, but also other forces will come. Find yours. If you don't get it, don't worry about it at all, because you don't have to cause any trouble for yourself. There are things on the pyramid not only power, but also the wind that never stops. If you are not careful, It will fall down."

Not knowing what expression to put on, Cassia could only nod. Ye Jielin is from the Webley family, the family that controls the giant arms company Webley Company in the empire. He knew many things in more detail than he did, especially about the complex network of rights and interests in the empire.

"Of course, the reason why the document was issued this time is not only because the war is coming. It also has another important reason - the Chira Andi family, one of the twenty-three great duke families, his experiment was successful .”
