Chapter 783
  The funeral continued in an orderly manner. After receiving the treatment they deserved, the two princes and princesses behaved very calmly. Their respective speeches revealed that their memories of the past and the memory of the late old king were also full of emotions. It attracted praise and resonance from many people below.

Although Daizer had already informed the dynasty dignitaries and officials about his beloved successor before his death, all parties had their own demands, coupled with the struggle between the royal family and the theocratic power of the Church of the Sufferers, so the Lion Heart Many dignitaries and forces in the dynasty are still waiting and watching, and have not really expressed their attitudes.

This is also an important consideration for the two heirs, Hussein and Diana, who want to compete with Fleming for the throne. Otherwise, based on the layout that Daizer made when he was still alive, the supporters behind Hussein and Diana would have been liquidated long ago. After going through the situation again, the two of them now don't have much chips to compete with Fleming.

Of course, it is self-evident whether the Church of the Victims has done other things behind this.

It is said to be a memorial, but in fact it is also an opportunity for the two heirs to show themselves to the forces and dignitaries in the field, because they know better that although Fleming seems to be stronger, his opponents are also far stronger than him. The final victory or defeat actually depends on the Church of the Sufferer’s trump card.

"Hu~~"

A strong wind hit, and the auras of many strong men in the field surged, but after seeing the identity of the person clearly, they gradually disappeared.

"...Your Majesty, I have betrayed your trust and failed to protect Pope Li Si, and even failed to protect His Excellency Edward..."

Mirko, who arrived late, was still wearing heavy armor. He must have come all the way just to see the old king for the last time. Supporting Daizel in front of the unclosed coffin, Mirko knelt down on the grass and knelt down on the grass with grief, and kept kowtowing his head to express his inner guilt.

"... Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely avenge this old enemy. Those damn orcs and the dirty uncivilized natives of the wilderness will die under my sword sooner or later!!"

"Ahem, General Mirko!!"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Sunak's face. Today's protagonist should not be this derelict old man. What exactly is he trying to do to attract attention now? !

As the commander-in-chief of the border fortress and the most trusted general under King Daizel, the collateral impact of Mirko's defeat once again made the kingdom's already unclear struggle develop in a direction that was not conducive to the royal family. Moreover, upon further investigation, the source of His Majesty's death in hatred may not have been due to the failure of Mirko's action. If Your Majesty were still alive now, I am afraid that this old guy would have to be severely punished!

"Prime Minister Sunak, the old minister requested to be transferred to Barak Frontier Fortress, and is willing to be a pioneer in attacking the Orc Empire in the future!!"

Mirko didn't seem to see the dissatisfaction in Sunak's eyes, raised his head and spoke resolutely.

"Today is an important day for His Majesty's body to be buried and his soul to return to the Kingdom of God. What do you want to do now!!"

"Get up quickly!!"

Sunak's tone became colder and colder. If Mirko, as a legendary strongman, was not so easy to deal with, Sunak would have asked Sidney to arrest him at this time.

"General Mirko!!"

Sidney's murderous intent rose up, and he was approaching Mirko, who was not caring about his image. Although there was a certain strength gap between the two, Sidney would not be afraid of falling out with him for the sake of His Majesty's face. The place is Sidney's territory, and countless soldiers around him can listen to Sidney's call at any time.

"I just want to be loyal to His Majesty and avenge Edward and the others. I ask the Prime Minister and all the adults for your permission!!"

Mirko's eyes were full of grief and anger, but he still didn't think about backing down.

"As the commander-in-chief of an army, deployment must be in accordance with the laws of the kingdom. Now that the new king has not yet ascended the throne, we have no right to deploy you!!"

The Minister of Military Affairs, Jonathan, looked troubled and tried to persuade him.

"Then quickly choose an heir from the royal family, so that the political situation of the kingdom can get back on track!!"

Mirko heard this and then said solemnly.

When Sunak and others heard this, their faces suddenly changed color. Mirko's series of abnormal actions at this time were probably because of this one thing.

"The important ministers of the kingdom and all the noble parents are here now, as well as Bishop Vucik and others. Today, we have to settle this matter in front of His Majesty's body, so as to avoid the situation like His Majesty's back then, where the Kingdom was left in vain. Caught in turmoil!!”

"Bold!! You are just a frontier military attache, how can you make arrogant comments on government affairs!!"

Sunak felt the danger approaching, his face straightened and he shouted loudly.

"Although I am a military officer, my loyalty to the kingdom and His Majesty can be judged by the gods. I think there are many adults who think like me now. Why don't you all express your opinions!!"

Mirko was obviously well prepared. After standing up, he turned to look at the other ministers and dignitaries who were watching.

"……snort!"

Sidney, Jonathan and other ministers stared at Mirko coldly, as if watching a clown performance. In their opinion, Mirko's reckless move was unlikely to win the support of other colleagues and even opponents.

"I think what General Mirko said makes sense!!"

Just when Jonathan and the others were waiting contemptuously to see the joke, a voice suddenly came out from the crowd. Several people looked around with slightly moved expressions, and happened to see Count Runa, who was very important among the neutral forces in the kingdom, walking through. The crowd walked up to Sunak and the others. While nodding slightly to say hello to Sunak and the others, Luna continued to speak: "The assassination of Pope Lis this time is very bad. If our kingdom cannot give those old uncles a powerful counterattack, it will inevitably become the fault of other kingdoms. laughing stock."

"Judging from the existing witnesses and physical evidence, the identity of the assassin can be basically determined. He should be an orc who has always been hostile to us humans and wants to provoke civil strife in our human kingdom. Although there is also evidence that this incident It has something to do with Bishop Vucik and your Church of the Crucifixion, but this is probably a way for the enemy to confuse us."

With an apologetic look at Vucik, Runa continued: "If this matter is really the work of the Orc Empire, then we, the Lionheart Kingdom, will definitely not be able to take revenge with the strength of our own country. If nothing else, we will mobilize our troops. Expedition to the orc border requires passing through the territory of the Kingdom of Four Seasons, which requires the leaders of the kingdom to discuss with the opposing king."

"Or you can simply launch a war initiative to the alliance as a member of the alliance to conquer the Orc Empire eastward. This also requires the name of the new king of the kingdom."

"right!!"

Many of the officials and nobles below agreed. Sunak scanned the circle carefully and found that in addition to many originally neutral beings, there were also members of their own camp who rebelled. For a moment, A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

"The coronation of the new king is related to the overall situation of the country. Now it is discussed at the funeral of the old king. This is simply treating etiquette as nothing!!"

An official caught Sunak's look and immediately jumped out and yelled.

"Your Majesty..."

Someone else echoed, and there was a lot of sadness in their words.

The three princes had different faces, and Prince Fleming's face was the most terrifying among them. There was a gloomy and angry look on his face, and he almost couldn't help but let it out, but his good education made him hold it back in the end.

"Although today is the funeral of King Daizel, it is somewhat inappropriate to talk about the new king, but since Count Luna mentioned our church, as a representative of the church, I should also express my opinion."

Just as the two groups were arguing, a kind and harsh voice came out of it. It seemed to be a plain and not high-pitched voice, but it could be completely transmitted to everyone's ears. There was even a calming magic aura, and all of a sudden Then he suppressed everyone's words.

In fact, the demigod bishop of the Church of the Victims, who had always been unable to be ignored, finally spoke.

"Decades ago, my lord chose King Daizer as the new king from a dozen heirs of the royal family. Over the years, King Daizer has also used his actual ability to prove the correctness of my lord's original choice."

"Now that the old king has passed away, a new king's heir will take over. Logically speaking, the heir trained by the old king should be a suitable candidate. However, after observing this heir, our church believes that His Highness Fleming may He is not qualified for the important task of king."

"nonsense!!"

The Minister of Military Affairs, Jonathan, looked coldly at the seemingly impartial and impartial bishop. He was an eyewitness to the turmoil of the royal power more than twenty years ago. He witnessed with his own eyes that the church put the entire kingdom at risk for the sake of power: "His Royal Highness Fleming has been there since he was three years old. Since he started to learn to read, he has been taught by the best teachers in the kingdom, and we have a few old guys with him to practice. If even he is not qualified to be the king of a country, then looking at the entire royal family, I am afraid that no one can be qualified. This is the location."

If the Church of the Victims had not insisted on insisting on the canonization ceremony and not crowned the new king, hundreds of thousands of people would not have been killed or injured in a natural disaster that required the mobilization of the kingdom's power for rescue.

As for Jonathan's family, it happened to be in the place where the disaster was most severe. When Jonathan finally returned to the family with the resources he had raised, more than half of the large family was killed or injured, including his two favorite children. Lost their lives in disasters.

"My Lord is wise and has insight into the future. How can you mortals understand His vast and profound vision?"

"My religion is following my Lord's oracle and has decided to establish a new successor for the kingdom. I wonder if you all support it?"

Suddenly, Vucik, who had always been gentle and friendly, suddenly changed his face. His demigod aura was like a rising mountain, shrouding the spiritual world of all the nobles and officials. For a time, many weak human guests , all showing pain and heavy expressions on their faces, struggling hard.

"Damn it!! You are provoking all the citizens of my Lionheart Kingdom!!"

The situation changed so fast that Sunak and others were caught off guard. Although it was unclear why Vucik suddenly turned against him, but now that the other party's words had come to this, they could only catch up and prepare to follow. The opponent strikes hard once.

After all, the place where we are now belongs to the royal family. If they can't compete with the Church of the Sufferers here, then Sunak and the others will have no chance of winning outside of here.

He quietly winked at Fleming, and at the same time quietly poked his hand between the gaps in Sidney's armor beside him, signaling him to summon the surrounding soldiers to react in order to resist the pressure of the demigod.

Sidney was actually not slow in his movements. He shouted: "Come here!! Surround the garden for me!!"

"Cang Dang! Cang Dang! Cang Dang!!"

For this funeral, Sidney placed all the men that could be brought by the guards in front of the palace around the garden. At the same time, he also selected thousands of elites from the royal guards to join the palace guards. Maintain today's funeral.

The dense and heavy footsteps were mixed with the noise of metal armor and weapons clashing, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense. Many family heads and officials who had not yet made up their minds and expressed their opinions secretly complained in their hearts, regretting that they should not have come in person. Attend a funeral.

Several fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky. It was unclear whether it was a signal from the church or the kingdom to other colleagues in the royal capital.
