Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 737

Next, Yang Yi figured out what was going on.

More than 1000 years ago, after the last emperor of the Leiling clan died suddenly, more than a dozen princes, including the current Wanluo War Emperor, broke out a large-scale civil war for the throne.It was also this civil war that caused the status of the Ralink clan in the Galactic Federation to plummet.Because it is related to the reputation of the royal family of the Leiling clan, and more importantly, the reputation of the Wanluo War Emperor, this battle for the throne has always been the biggest secret of the Leiling clan.Don't talk about other civilizations, even within the Leiling clan, no one dares to talk about it casually.In the final analysis, it is because Wanluo War Emperor is not the first heir to the throne, and the means he used to win the throne can be said to be extremely dirty.

Like the Weaving Star Clan and the Yinling Clan, the Leiling Clan's succession to the throne also has clear rules, but there are also some differences.To put it simply, the heir to the throne of the Lei Ling family is not directly appointed by the emperor, nor is it chosen by the elders of the royal family through voting.Under normal circumstances, the emperor of the Leiling clan will select a few princes who are outstanding and loved by the people in the late life and recommend them to the elders of the royal family, and then the elders will arrange some specific tasks. As a result, the heir to the throne was chosen.If there is no accident, the one who inherits the throne must be the prince with the most outstanding ability and the best reputation and reputation.

However, this selection method is only suitable for normal situations.

If the emperor died suddenly, the problem would be serious.

Back then, the emperor of the Lei Ling clan passed away suddenly, and before that, he had not recommended the prince to the elders of the royal family, so there was no test before inheriting the throne.

In fact, this is also the cause of the struggle for the throne.

However, among the dozen or so princes, Wanluo Zhanhuang was not the most outstanding one, neither in terms of ability nor reputation.

His only advantage is that he is married and has children, so there is no problem of heirs after he ascends the throne.

In fact, whether or not they have heirs is also one of the main criteria for the Lei Ling clan to select the heir to the throne.

As a result, the Emperor Wanluo, who had no original intention, stood out in the battle for the throne, and Prince Arlington at that time was one of the elders of the royal family.In fact, it was because of the support of Prince Arlington that Wanluo Emperor was able to overwhelm several princes whose talents and prestige were higher than his.It's just that Wanluo Warlord can get the support of Prince Arlington, which has nothing to do with him already having children, but a promise he made, that is, after sitting on the throne, he will pardon the world and forgive all those who competed with him. The princes on the throne also canonized these princes as princes and treated them accordingly, so as to ensure that the royal family of the Lei Ling clan would not suffer greater losses due to this civil war.

After gaining the support of Prince Arlington, the Wanluo War Emperor suddenly emerged and quickly won the war.

At the beginning, Prince Arlington was very pleased with what Wanluo Warlord did, because he fulfilled his promise. Not only did he not persecute the prince who competed with him for the throne, he also conferred the titles of several princes as princes, and even granted them fiefdoms. , and the highest level of treatment for members of the royal family.According to Wan Luo Zhanhuang's arrangement, all his brothers will become princes and get a fief on Ling Xiaoxing.

Of course, these princes had to go back to Ling Xiaoxing and swear allegiance to him.

As the elder of the royal family, and the most powerful elder, the main supporter of the Wanluo War Emperor, and the master of the battle for the throne, Prince Arlington is obliged to act as the Wanluo War Emperor's microphone. That is to say, on behalf of the Wanluo War Emperor, read the imperial decree to those princes who are living outside, and let them return to the Yinling Star to accept the canonization.Under the circumstances at the time, only Prince Arlington had the ability to make the other princes admit defeat.

Under the "persuasion" of Prince Arlington, many princes returned to the Hidden Spirit Star one after another.

However, Prince Arlington never expected that all of this was a trap set by the Emperor Wanluo.

When he went to find the last prince, and the youngest Prince Corgan, disaster happened.When he received the news, all the princes he had persuaded to return to Lingxiao were killed, and they were killed by Wanluo Zhanhuang himself during the ceremony of conferring the prince.

Apparently, Wan Luo Zhanhuang never thought of letting go of those brothers who were competing with him for the throne.

Perhaps, in Wan Luo's eyes, Prince Kegan, who was less than ten years old at the time, was not a threat at all, at least far inferior to other princes.

"Besides, it's also related to the revelation of his conspiracy. According to what I learned later, when he was planning to deal with those princes who went back to accept the canonization, one of his subordinates undoubtedly leaked the news. If he didn't take immediate action, These princes will definitely escape Ling Xiaoxing." Prince Arlington sighed, and said, "At that time, my first thought was to go back and find him to settle accounts. But under the persuasion of my subordinates, I gave up this stupid idea. He If you can hate to eradicate all brothers, you will naturally not take me as a prince seriously. Besides, he has already sat on the throne and no longer needs my help, so he will not take his original promise seriously."

"and then?"

"I returned to my own territory and expanded my guards, ready to meet his challenge. Of course, I am only a prince. Even if I defeat him, I have no right to sit on the throne. After the other princes were killed, the only one who is eligible Only Prince Cogan will inherit the throne. I sent people to look for Prince Cogan, but they were not found, but I got a clue that the person who was with Prince Cogan in the end was Queen Laudai." Prince Arlington paused for a moment , and said, "Queen Laudai is the older sister of Prince Kegan, and she was married to the Hidden Spirit before the battle for the throne broke out, so she was not implicated. If someone is willing to help Prince Kegan, and has the ability to help Prince Kegan Prince, it can only be her. With her ability, it is easy to hide Prince Kegan."

"Why did she help Prince Curgan?"

"It's very simple. She doesn't want to marry the Hidden Spirit Race far away. When it came to the marriage, Wanluo Zhanhuang was in favor of it, and was even the main promoter. Although it was her father who made the final decision, but After Wanluo War Emperor ascended the throne, it is impossible for her to return to Lingxiao Star. If she wants to change her destiny, then the only way is to support Prince Kegan and make Prince Kegan the emperor."

"In order to report on her, Prince Kegan will definitely take her back after he becomes emperor."

Prince Arlington nodded, and said: "After getting this clue, I planned to go to her, hoping to find Prince Kegan through her. It is a pity that I have clearly expressed my support for the Wanluo War Emperor before that." , and those princes who were killed were all invited back by me. Obviously, if you just go to find Queen Luo Dai like this, she will definitely not believe me, and she will not even meet me. Besides, she is the queen of the hidden spirit clan, And I'm a lost prince, if she doesn't want to see me, it's useless to go to the Hidden Spirit Star. At that time, the only way to make her believe it was to break with the Wanluo Warlord and put an end to Wanluo Warlord's plots. Announce it."

Yang Yi sighed and didn't say much.

"It's just that, just as I was about to do it, the war broke out."

"So, you didn't do that."

"No matter what, the Leiling clan needs an emperor, and Prince Kegan was only in his teens at the time. Even if he could drag the Wanluo War Emperor from the throne and let Prince Kegan ascend the throne and become the emperor, it would be impossible for the Leiling clan. As a result, we become stronger. Besides, during the war, we need an emperor with outstanding abilities. Even if the Emperor Wanluo is not the ideal choice, he is definitely much better than a little prince in his teens."

"and then?"

"You must know what happened later."

Yang Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, expressing his understanding of what Prince Arlington meant.

"At that time, going to the North Fourth District to participate in the war was my only choice, and it was also the most ideal choice, because only in this way could I avoid becoming an enemy of the Wanluo War Emperor. Even if I don't like him at all, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only Leaving, that's the only way to unite the Leiling clan." Prince Arlington paused for a moment, and then said, "That's why I won the trust of Queen Laudai, at least in her opinion, I am willing to Leading the guards to the North Fourth District to resist the invading Silicon Magic Alliance, instead of staying behind to wipe out the remaining enemies for the Wanluo Warlord, it shows that I am not the minion of the Wanluo Warlord, and everything I do is for Lei Ling Shortly thereafter, I learned from Queen Laudai that Prince Kegan was still alive, and that he was hiding in a colony galaxy of the Human Federation in the fourth northern district."

"what!?"

"Of course, this is just the news she entrusted someone to bring. Although I spent a lot of time during the war and went to almost all the colonized galaxies of the Human Federation, as well as many star systems occupied by the army of silicon demons, I did not find any related information. clues about Prince Curgan." Prince Arlington sighed before saying, "Of course, she may be lying to me, and the information she revealed to me may not be true, after all, the situation was unclear at the time. If she really Those who know the whereabouts of Prince Kegan, but think that I am still loyal to the Wanluo War Emperor, will deliberately deceive me to test me. But no matter what, Prince Kegan is still alive, and only she knows where it is hidden. "

"why?"

"Before I was imprisoned, she never swore allegiance to the Wanluo War Emperor, and she never even had direct contact with the Wanluo War Emperor."

"This……"

"Then what about now?"

Yang Yi was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and said, "As far as I know, she is still the Queen of the Hidden Spirit Race, and she lives reclusively and rarely shows up in public."

"So she still has a glimmer of hope, right?"

"That is to say, Prince Kegan is still alive, and in her opinion, Prince Kegan is the only way for her to leave Hidden Spirit Star and return to Lingxiao Star."

Prince Arlington smiled lightly and said: "So, you should go to Hidden Spirit Star and ask her for clarification. After finding Prince Kegan, go to Lingxiao Star. Anyway, the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne now, and can Only Prince Corgan is with you in peace."
