Plane Overlord of Rebirth

Chapter 792 Dangerous Politics
In the past month, the Earl of Fletcher has been developing very well. Lin Ao also looks ambitious. He wants to make his territory that has been handed down by his ancestors more vigorous. Everything is going well. The direction is developing.

Of course, there are many suggestions from Chen Ning. For this reason, he also specially consulted some economic and historical documents and materials to give advice to Lin Ao.Logically speaking, Lin Ao should now stay in Fletcher honestly, slowly build up his strength, accumulate a lot of money, strengthen the economic and military strength of the territory, and at the same time eliminate those troublemakers and eliminate the internal forces. Worms and enemies, complete the political cleanup, clear away obstacles, and slowly map it.After one's own strength has been accumulated, observe the changes in the general trend of the world, and then make a move, this is the way of overlord.

I believe that Lin Ao himself understands this truth. Although he should not have the ambition to become a king at this time, as a king who will achieve hegemony in the future, he must still have such qualities and foresight.

It's just that the sky is not as good as people want.Lin Ao wants to develop slowly in a low-key manner, but some people just don't want to give him such an opportunity.Moreover, it has to be said that compared to military ability, when he mastered a territory as large as the entire earldom for the first time, even if he was the proud son of heaven, it was impossible to immediately change his role from a young military general to a seasoned one. politician.

It never occurred to him that those political enemies of his family were so mad that they colluded with outsiders.His political acumen also prevented him from noticing how much turbulence was turbulent under the peaceful appearance of the principality.

And it was his political immaturity that made Lin Ao pay what is now a huge price.

Three months ago, the previous Duke died of illness at the age of 61.The Duke of Learman, who was crowned duke when he was in his prime in his 40s, did not have any special accomplishments during his more than ten years in power, but he is not considered a mediocre monarch. At any rate, in the past ten years of his reign, the entire Principality of Anfield can be regarded as healthy.

However, after the Duke died of illness three months ago, even though there were no apparent and major turmoil in the entire Principality, in fact, there was already a storm in the Principality.

Grand Duke Lierman had four children in his life, which is not a small number, and if the illegitimate children are counted, there will be more.It's just that the illegitimate child, who is not recognized in the aristocratic family of Orodik, has an embarrassing status. Not only does he not have any inheritance rights, he cannot even inherit his father's surname.Apart from the illegitimate children, there are as many as four legitimate children of Grand Duke Learman.

Four heirs are not too small.Two daughters, two sons.The grand duke's two daughters grew up healthy and healthy to adulthood, but his son was not so lucky.The youngest son died when he was eight years old.It was said that it was an illness, but no one knew the actual situation. Anyway, when the Grand Duke's second son died, there was a bloodbath in the whole Principality, and it is unknown how many people lost their lives because of it.

Fortunately, the eldest son has successfully grown up.According to this situation, there is no big problem.The eldest son of the duke is 34 years old this year. After the duke died of illness, there should be no doubt that the eldest son of the duke, who was in his prime, took over the power smoothly.The Duke's eldest son's performance in the past is also very admirable. He entered the Red Soul Knights at the age of 16, performed well in the Knights, participated in three orc wars, and commanded two large-scale battles against pirates in the Southern Cross Sea. On the border with the neighboring Duchy of Winchester During the conflict, the Duke's eldest son also showed his ability as an excellent military commander.

Such a duke's eldest son who has won a lot of word of mouth through years of wars, has enough prestige in the entire principality, and is in good health is undoubtedly the best candidate for the new generation of Grand Duke of Anfield.

But what changed suddenly was that two months ago, less than a month after the old Duke died of illness, a bad news spread throughout the Principality: the Duke's son died in battle under the Blood Wolf Castle!

That's right, that battle was exactly the battle of Blood Wolf Fort that both Chen Ning and Lin Ao participated in.The eldest son of the Duke, as the military chief of the Principality of Anfield in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, led his people out of the city to pursue the orc army. The elite main force of the Red Soul Knights led by him happened to encounter the God of Forbidden Curse who was released by the legendary orc shaman at his own risk. surgery.Under the all-out bombardment of a legendary powerhouse, this young, promising nobleman of the sky was no different from other ordinary soldiers, and died quietly under the destructive force of the legendary spell. Under the power.

The Duke's eldest son died quietly, without any sense of grandeur.However, his death plunged the entire principality into grief.

After Grand Duke Lirman died of illness, his eldest son should soon inherit the title.It was only because the orc war was at a critical moment that the quasi-grand duke, who was one of the important arrivals of the coalition forces, was unable to leave the blood wolf castle for a while, so the succession ceremony was postponed, waiting for him to come back up.But what they got was just a pair of broken armor, and even the corpse could not be seen.

The entire principality fell into great grief. In just one month, the previous monarch died of illness, and the successor died in the war. This is undoubtedly a huge sad news for the entire principality.

However, for some schemers and careerists, this is a rare opportunity!
The Principality of Anfield is divided into seven main regions.Each of the six earls guards one side, and the center of the principality is the territory directly under the Grand Duke.This structure is very delicate. During countless years of development, the strength of the six earls is not weak!It can even be said that any three earls united have the strength to compete with the Grand Duke.This is not unprecedented in history. The alliance of powerful earls has always been the most troublesome thing for the grand dukes of all generations.But this time, the situation is even more dangerous.

The forces directly under the Grand Duke have lost two generations of leaders in a short period of time. They are in the chaos of leaderless leaders, and it is difficult to react in a short period of time.But for some ambitious lords, the small nines in their hearts can be blown away.

Earl Wenner, one of the six lords, is the most ambitious nobleman in the entire duchy.But now, almost all the chaos in the entire principality was caused by this ambitious man!
