Chapter 132 The Future of the Stuart Family
[Supplementary setting: The dragon blood in Ivan's body was obtained by bathing in dragon blood, which is not considered a serious inheritance, so it can only be counted as part of the dragon blood.The dragon blood in Ronan's body is the blood essence of the dragon of the disaster beast storm and furious thunder. It is swallowed and transformed into its own blood power. The dragon's breath is not particularly heavy, and Ronan has a hidden breath of magic Props, so Ivan can't perceive it. 】
Father's shot was very strong!
Stunning!
If it were a demigod-level powerhouse, he would not dare to take it easily!
But Ronan still felt that his father was using too much force... as if he was showing his powerful force to outsiders?
Dad did it on purpose?
With doubts, Ronan cast his eyes on Ivan.
Looking at the questioning eyes of the youngest son, Ivan nodded slowly, stood up to stop the eldest daughter's joy, walked to the window, and looked at the flames of war not far away.
"Selena, Ronan, do you know that the old priest on Beast God Mountain has successfully reincarnated and inherited the power of a demigod?"
Selena's pupils shrank, and she said in disbelief: "...Although I heard it before, isn't that something that has not been confirmed yet? Father, we..."
"No, it has been confirmed!"
Ivan said categorically.
His gaze crossed the battlefield in the north and went deep into the desolate plateau, as if he had penetrated into space, and landed on the mysterious snow mountain.
"The war between the Winter Empire and the Orc Empire has lasted for many years. There have been minor fights and heavy losses on both sides, but no matter how you say it, this war has always been within the reasonable acceptance range of the two countries."
"On Lindong's side, many military officers want to earn a share of military merit to revitalize the family. On the orc side, many big clans want to use this to train their clansmen and consume too many low-level orcs."
"It's not so much a natural disaster as it is a war deliberately provoked."
"But... now, this war can no longer continue like this."
Ivan's voice was cold.
Selena felt a little cold when she heard it.
"Because... Your Majesty?"
Ronan shook his head, and also walked to the window, looking at the wilderness and endless snow in the distance, he added the next sentence of his father:
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?" Selena didn't expect her little brother to have such a high level of political thinking, and hurriedly asked: "It's normal for the royal family to be afraid of the power of the Stuart family. , then let's let go of the control of the army in our hands for a while, so that that person can feel at ease... What does this "not" mean?"
Selena was in a hurry.
She never expected that her younger brother Ronan would surpass her without knowing it, and could even catch up with her father's thinking.
But Ronan was obviously not like this when he was a child?
But Ronan didn't notice the little grievance of the eldest sister, but looked at his father, and said word by word: "Father, you plan to throw away the command of the Northern Army after Fiona or the third prince takes over. out, right?"
Boom!
Hear this.
Selena seemed to be blasted by the magic crystal cannon in her heart, and she was terrified.
She looked at her father with surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.
What did Ronan just say?
Father... Father intends to throw away the leadership of the Northern Army?
This... how is this possible?
Selena's beautiful eyes were wide open, and she looked at Ivan in disbelief, thinking that Ronan's words were just random speculations!
Command of the Northern Legion?
What an alluring position!
Isn't that the position passed down from generation to generation by the Stuart family?
Is that the glory and status symbol of the family? !
How can it be thrown out so easily!
but……
Ivan's reaction was very calm, even a little happy.
He looked at Ronan happily, and the smiles in his eyes grew more and more, and he even nodded involuntarily, saying "Yes".
"The Stuart family has been passed down from generation to generation. As the founding nobles of the Winter Empire, our honor and status are high enough. Even the leader of the Northern Army of the Four Great Legions of Winter has been the Stuart family all these years. Location."
"This is a joint decision of the citizens, the royal family, and the court. They hope that our descendants can inherit the pioneering spirit and unyielding fighting spirit of the ancestors of the Stuart family, and keep the orc empire away from the eighteen cities in the north for the winter." !"
"at this point!"
"We did it!"
Although those little nobles who like to gossip in the circle of winter nobles have always been dissatisfied with the Stuart family's firm control over the fat of the Northern Army, but no one dared to really go to the court. The consuls and His Majesty the Winter Emperor said something bad in front of them!
The reason is that no one dares to do this!
Rumor has it that Stuart's first Patriarch was a commoner knight who coincidentally rescued the first Emperor Winter who was assassinated by an assassin, and hit it off to form the hard-core Northern Army.
At that time, the northern border was still barren, not to mention the eighteen huge cities, but even now, the orcs were still raging in this place.
Stuart's first Patriarch worked hard, recruited many knights, established the Northern Army, and drove back all the orcs and outsiders who invaded the northern border of the empire.
Although the commanding position of the regiment commander of the Northern Legion is very eye-catching, there are many people who want to snatch it, but none of them succeeded, because no one can snatch the Stuart family.
It is not too much to say that the entire northern army is half of the family army of the Stuart family!
Because it is too united!
But it is this kind of unity that really makes those in power and other noble groups jealous and jealous.
Since I can't handle it myself and won't get any benefits, at least I will pull you down!
This is the common thinking of most interest groups other than the Stuart family.
Of course, Ivan never ruled out the idea that there are foreign forces in it.
But what he really cares about is the thoughts of the one who sits on the throne of God.
The Stuart family and the Winter Empire are both prosperous and damaged, and have never been an independent whole.
He, Ivan, has the status and strength he has today, and it all depends on inheriting the inheritance of his ancestors.
But isn't the inheritance of the ancestors also the trust of the royal families of all ages?
Ivan thinks the same as his father (Ronan's grandfather)!
He has always believed that the family is a part of the Winter Empire, and has never been a moth of the royal family and the empire, but he has to prepare a way out for his wife and children.
The heads of the Stuart family in the past have never thought of overthrowing the royal family, and neither did Ivan.
