Chapter 274 We might as well enter the palace and take his throne!

After the regular meeting in the palace, Hattar rushed back to the manor without stopping, ordered someone to invite Anthony over, and immediately told the whole story of the meeting, and then he was very confused. asked.

   "Master Anthony...what is going on? Why did father change his attitude so suddenly?"

  After listening to Hattar's narration, Anthony thought about it, and soon had a guess in his mind.

  If they had only defeated the army of Grand Duke Rickman, the Kingdom of Bazel would certainly not have such a big reaction.

   But it is different now. The tens of thousands of legions and dozens of nobles who went to the Earl's Land were all slaughtered. Not only did it seriously affect the balance of power within the kingdom, but the power they showed naturally made His Majesty the king feel fear!

  But this is exactly what Lynn wants. If he doesn't show off his muscles, how can those sloppy nobles believe that they can fight against the powerful church.

   "It seems that I made some mistakes in my previous predictions. I am afraid that your good father is not planning to put you on the throne, but just uses you and me as a bargaining chip to balance the power of the Holy See." Anthony shook his head and sighed.

  Before he underestimated the King Bazel who had been in charge of the kingdom for decades.

  Antony originally thought that the other party was dissatisfied with the church's excessive interference in secular affairs, so he was determined to put Hatar, who had a tendency to rebel against the Holy See, on the throne.

However, judging from the reaction of His Majesty the King, the matter is not as simple as he thought. Bazel just wanted to use their power to weaken the power of the church, thereby strengthening the kingship, and did not intend to really fall out with the church. .

  Under Anthony's explanation and analysis, Hatar's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart felt cold. He didn't want to believe this, but when he thought of his father's reaction in the hall, he had to believe it.

This time Harold's conquest against the group of miners was defeated, and directly lost nearly half of the kingdom's elite forces. Although the enemy's strength far exceeded expectations, his good father did not pursue any punishment. For Harold Rhodes didn't even have a reprimand, and his bias was already obvious.

   "Master Anthony? So what should we do now?" Hatar suddenly panicked. In the past, he only had to think about how to please his father, hoping that the other party would allow him to ascend the throne, but now this idea has come to nothing.

   "It depends on your supporters, whether they support His Majesty Bazel or you, the new king..." Anthony said calmly.

  Hatta paused for a moment, his eyes flickering. Of course he could understand what Anthony meant, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

  Facing big aristocrats like Rickman and Joyce and Harold's supporters, he could order the slaughter without hesitation, but when it came to the real conspiracy, Hattar was a little hesitant.

  Anthony reminded Hattar when he saw this hesitant look.

   "Now is the time when the resistance forces in the kingdom are weakest, and it is also the best time for you to ascend the throne."

The death of Rickman and other dozens of nobles means that the factions loyal to the Holy See in the kingdom have been hit hard like never before. If Hattar can seize the opportunity at this time and deal with those vacillating nobles, he will be able to directly ascend to the throne. Take the throne by physical means!

   "In addition, your defense and reaction in the hall revealed a lot of flaws, so there shouldn't be too much time left for you and me." Anthony continued to add.

These wizards can stay safely in the palace not only because of the help of the second prince, but also because of the acquiescence of King Bazel, but now the situation may change a hundred and eighty degrees. !

  Hatar's complexion changed again and again, thinking of all his hard work and flattery, in exchange for his father's indifference, his eyes became more and more fierce, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

  The battle for the throne can often only end in victory or death. If his elder brother Harold succeeds to the throne, he will never let him go!

   "Master Anthony, I have a question. How many wizards did you dispatch to destroy the legion led by Grand Duke Rickman? How many great wizards are there?" Hattar asked calmly.

   "I think you probably misunderstood, just because there are more than 10,000 people is not enough for wizards to set foot on the battlefield." Anthony said proudly. "The ones who did it were just some ordinary soldiers who held alchemy creations and went through some simple training."

  Hatar was astonished. Regardless of the reports from Nord and the others in the hall, or the secret reports sent by the Gardners, the above information is enough to be described as exaggerated.

I heard that the entire sky was covered by fire and rain, the thunderous noise was enough to burst eardrums, rows of soldiers continued to fall, and the entire battlefield was like a purgatory... This is really only based on the ability of some ordinary people with alchemy creations. Did you do it?

  The Archbishop of Nord swears that there must be an extremely powerful wizard who appeared on the battlefield and carried out a shameless sneak attack on them.

  When he first heard this information, he thought it was Anthony himself who made the move, but after asking the spies, he found out that the great wizard had not left the capital...

   "Without such power, how can we fight against the church and the empire..." Anthony said with a sneer.

  Anthony's words undoubtedly reassured Hatar, so much so that the second prince had an illusion in his heart that the empire and the church were nothing more than this.

   Fortunately, Hattar was not dazzled by such fantasies, but asked the second extremely critical question.

   "After I succeed to the throne, what kind of gifts do you need?"

   "Of course, it is to allow wizards to walk in the secular world in a fair manner. As for the others, just like before, the magic belongs to the wizard, and the secular one belongs to the kingdom!" Anthony said with a smile. "Of course, it's best to have a part of our territory exclusively."

"Okay, no problem!" Hatar agreed without hesitation. Although there are not many territories directly under the royal family, when he ascended the throne, he had to clean up a few ignorant guys, such as Rickman who had lost power. Family, just take back the territory and find a few canonizations.

Hatar is not very worried about these wizards crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. After hundreds of years of propaganda by the church, the idea that wizards represent evil is deeply rooted, and the other party needs to rely on them to survive in this kingdom, not to mention the common enemy of the empire and the church. .

  Thinking of this, Hattar and Anthony discussed the plan to seize the position...
