"What a blessing from Akarat!" Mr. Benduin loudly praised the founder of the Zakarum Church, with tears of emotion on his face: "It's really unbelievable that the blood of the Transvican royal family is still alive in the world. Destroy our Kejistan Empire!"

At this time, in Mr. Pontuin's magnificent tent, in addition to Chen Mo and Deckard Cain, there were also Liya and Li Min who had returned from the intelligence investigation on Kaldeum, as well as those who had been recruited by Pontuin. The gentleman summoned loyal ministers and noble representatives of the Kegistan Empire that he believed to be trustworthy.

The reason why Mr. Pontuin is so excited is naturally because he has confirmed Liya's identity and confirmed that the Kegistan Empire has not fallen into the desperate situation of exterminating the royal family.

You know, in this era of feudal system, the death of a country's king is definitely the most dangerous thing for the country.

A country cannot live without a king for a day. This is not only true in the Eastern cultural circle, but also in the Western cultural circle. It can even be said that even for the primitive tribes on the African savanna, if the chief of the tribe dies and there is no successor, it is A very serious matter.

At worst, the country is in turmoil, and various careerists start a series of overt and covert fights and turmoil in order to compete for the throne, weakening the country's strength.

In severe cases, it may simply trigger a civil war, split the entire country, or allow foreign enemies to take advantage of the situation and lead to the country's demise.

These are all things that may happen, and various crises may even come together, leaving the entire country in a state of collapse and unable to recover for hundreds of years.

This is especially true for the Kegistan Empire. This is not only because the Kegistan Empire just encountered the crisis of the fall of its capital more than ten years ago, but also because the predecessor Hakan I already had only one heir, Hakan II. , the last time the empire almost had its throne vacant due to the loss of heirs.

This is particularly fatal in an era when the country is in turmoil and the entire sanctuary is threatened by the invasion of demonic forces.

Without a king, it would be impossible to mobilize the country's army, order all the nobles, and unite the entire country to fight against the enemy.

Perhaps in modern society, the government can maintain operations if it loses its national leader, but for a country in the feudal era, losing the king means losing the legitimacy and legitimacy of all government orders.

Just like the human kingdom in The Lord of the Rings, although the regent has been monopolizing power for many years, and even attempts to let his son inherit his position and continue to control the entire human kingdom, he is not the king, so he is not justified in many things, and some people can even make it public Oppose him and disobey his orders.

When Aragorn stood up and declared his identity as the legitimate heir of the Human Emperor, the entire human kingdom immediately declared allegiance to him, even though before that he was just a ranger without any political foundation. It does not prevent the entire human kingdom from gathering strength to join him in attacking Mount Doom as if to die.

The Kegistan Empire at this moment is just like the human kingdom at that time. They also need a legitimate heir to the throne.

The nobles summoned by Pontuin were already mentally prepared for the fact that Hakan II in the palace of Kardim had been murdered by the King of Lies.

In fact, when Hakan II announced the closure of the palace area and drove out all the nobles, they had some premonition.

But before that, like Mr. Pontuin, they all thought that Hakan II was just deceived by the traitors around him, so he issued such a fatuous imperial order.

Unexpectedly, Hakan II was not deceived by a traitor, but directly replaced by the Demon King of Hell.

This made these nobles sigh that the empire was in trouble. More than ten years ago, they lost the capital Kurast because of Mephisto, the King of Hatred, and now they are losing the emperor because of Belial, the King of Lies. How can this not make people sigh? Is the empire in bad luck at this moment?

After losing the former capital of the empire, they now have to face the crisis of losing the most prosperous city in the empire and the emperor. This makes many people panic and don't know what to do.

Without the emperor, the largest human kingdom in Sanctuary will inevitably fall into disintegration. By then, without the invasion of the hell army, humanity itself will fall apart.

But fortunately, Deckard Cain, the famous last Horadrim, testified that Liya was indeed the daughter of Aidan, the son of Leoric, the first and last king of the Kingdom of Khanduras, and the daughter of Kai The Transvikan royal family of the Gistan Empire has orthodox blood and has the legally unquestionable right to inherit the throne of the Gistan Empire. This allows these nobles to find their backbone.

"Now that Her Highness Liya's identity has been confirmed, we should discuss how to expel the demons in the palace so that peace can be restored to the Kegist Empire and Kaldeum." Because of Liya's identity as the heir to the throne, Pontuyin asked her to sit on the main seat of the tent at the moment, while he himself sat in the position of Liya and presided over the current meeting: "According to the results of Her Royal Highness Liya's personal investigation, the palace has been blocked by the Royal Guards at this moment. And the Royal Guards have been able to confirm that they are all demons from the King of Lies.

The Iron Wolf Guards were transferred to the outpost in the desert. It is certain that these demons must have bad intentions and will attack the Iron Wolf Guards in the desert, so that this force loyal to the empire cannot interfere with their evil plot.

If we want to expel the evil spirits in the palace, the power of the Iron Wolf Guard is indispensable. Fortunately, the leader of the Iron Wolf Guard, Asila, is still in the city, and she should be able to help us. "

"If this is the case, I suggest that we go to the outpost in the desert to rescue the Iron Wolf Guards and eliminate the demon's minions at the same time." Li Min also sat next to Liya. At this time, she was the first to speak and put forward her own suggestion: "At this moment The palace has been blocked by those demons, and Hakan II has also confirmed that his body has been occupied by the King of Lies. So we should not attack the palace rashly. The demons will inevitably set up heavy defenses and various evil traps there. Waiting for us to step in! So I don’t recommend attacking the palace before we are fully prepared.”

Although Li Min did not have any noble status, her status as a mystic mage still earned her enough respect from Pontuin.

Therefore, after she spoke, Pontuin also seriously considered her suggestions.

In general, Li Min's suggestion is the most appropriate suggestion at the moment. As a deeply trusted force in the Kingdom of Kejistan, the Iron Wolf Guards, which still inherits the ancient magic warrior profession, is the most important force in Kaltim City at the moment. The only force that can fight against the devil's royal guards.

Ensuring that this force is not wiped out by demons will be very helpful for their subsequent plans, and it will also give the nobles time to assemble their own private soldiers and other forces.

The only problem is that if Hakan II can still be saved, if they don't raid the palace immediately, it will only increase his danger.
