Chapter 2152: The King's Power
"Are you going to die of old age?"
Lin Youde murmured something and then shook his head.
"It is human nature to be afraid of death. It is not uncommon to find kings who want to pursue immortality in any world."
"He wants to capture you this time to prolong his life?"
"If that's the case, then perhaps we can take advantage of this and directly enter the royal city of the Alec Empire."
Alan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean, let that Tom Kushawa take us directly into the interior of the Alex Empire in the name of catching me?"
As Lin Youde nodded slightly, Allen was a little suspicious: "Isn't this a little too dangerous?"
"Don't get me wrong. It's hard for me to die because of my own recovery ability. And after going through so many things, I'm not afraid of death. Rather, death is a relief for me now."
"I'm just worried about that Tom Kushawa turning against us."
"Once we enter the interior of the Alex Empire and are besieged by him, we will really have to face an endless army of Alex Empire's mechanical troops."
Lin Youde calmly asked back: "Do you think I'm afraid?"
Alan was stunned. Recalling how Lin Youde had instantly killed the troops of the Alex Empire and the Church of Order with a single Fairy Law, he couldn't help but smile.
"I was mistaken. The ones that should be afraid now are not us, but the Alec Empire."
"Choosing to be an enemy of you, Mr. Lin Youde, would definitely be their most foolish act."
Lin Youde smiled and did not respond. Instead, he looked at Sarah and asked.
"Sarah, you know so many things, but do you know why King Armin fell out with Nimru?"
Sarah shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't know the real reason for this."
"According to our investigation, when King Armin first succeeded in seizing the throne and became king, he had a relatively good relationship with Queen Nimuru."
"It was only in the second year after he became king that, for some unknown reason, his personality suddenly changed. He planned to ambush Nimru and her guards, intending to capture Nimru."
"But Armin misjudged Nimuru's fighting ability, and she escaped. Only those Crystal Machine Queen's guards who fought desperately to buy time were captured and imprisoned, and turned into research material."
"According to my personal inference, it should be that Armin who obtained some kind of technology in a certain ruin."
"Because this technology can transform the Crystal Machines into energy conversion units, thereby enhancing the energy output and combat effectiveness of the mechanical bodies."
"In order to further expand the mechanical army of the Alec Empire, Armin set his sights on the Crystal Machinery Clan led by Nimuru."
"Later, some bodies of the Crystal Mechanical Clan were found in the wreckage of some of the mechanical legions of the Alec Empire, which further confirmed my guess."
"The combat effectiveness of the mechanical army of the Alec Empire is so outstanding, and the level of energy output is so high. It is obvious that they use the bodies of the crystal mechanical clan to transform higher-level energy."
"But this is only the reason we know so far. I don't know the truth. I guess only Nimuru and Armin themselves know it."
After hearing Sarah's explanation, Lin Youde touched his chin.
"Forget it, I won't get involved in this kind of thing."
"The top priority right now is to sneak into the capital of the Alec Empire and look for traces of Leonard and Embrio."
"As for Armin, if necessary, just kill him."
"The crimes of the Alec Empire have been recognized by the dimensional beasts. They must be eliminated, otherwise they will continue to send troops."
"Although letting the Alec Empire and the Dimensional Beasts keep consuming each other is also a good choice."
"But the drones used by the Alec Empire are not real drones. They are pseudo-drones that have humans placed inside the drones and used as biological CPUs."
"This brutal act of disregard for life must stop."
"But considering that the Alec Empire is a huge force, it is probably not enough to just kill one king."
"So, we have to find a way to gather the top leaders of the Alex Empire together and catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Then find someone to take control of the power of the Alec Empire."
"Otherwise, if we simply destroy the top leaders of the Yarick Empire, the middle and lower levels will fall into chaos, which may turn into a chaotic warlord separatism and cause more human tragedies."
"So... Allen, do you have any suitable candidates? Or, as a former prince, do you want to return to the throne and take back your royal power?"
Lin Youde actually doesn't care much about helping Allen regain the kingship.
In Lin Youde's opinion, no matter whether it is Allen or anyone else, as long as they can control the situation after dealing with the top leaders of the Alex Empire, stabilize the Alex Empire and stop the atrocities, it will be enough.
The ones who are guilty of the Alec Empire are those who use the power to mess around, not the power itself.
This power developed through years of excavating relics cannot be destroyed at will and must be utilized well.
As for whether to help Allen regain the throne or find someone to re-establish a parliamentary system or something like that, Lin Youde is more inclined towards feudal monarchy.
Because this system has been developed in the Holy Dragon Realm for many years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even with advanced technology, many people still believe that the king holds the highest power.
Therefore, instead of developing a parliamentary system or a representative system, it is better to directly apply the monarchy system, which can stabilize the situation more quickly.
As long as the real power is in Lin Youde's hands, it doesn't matter what kind of political system the Alex Empire is.
After dealing with the real enemy, Lin Youde can hand over the Alex Empire to Zhao Zheng and let him slowly deal with the Alex Empire instead of doing all the hard work himself.
Therefore, in Lin Youde's opinion, if Allen, who has royal blood of the previous dynasty, is willing to be king, he can help him.
If you don't want to, then find someone to overthrow Armin and make that person the king.
The results are the same anyway, there is no difference.
Under Lin Youde's gaze, Allen thought for a while and replied.
"If you want me to stabilize the situation, I can be the king for a while and lend you the title of prince."
"But if you let me rule the Alec Empire for a long time, then you should find someone else."
"I am not a qualified ruler. I have known this since I was a child."
Lin Youde snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, then you can be the king for a while, and then I will find someone to replace you."
Kolena, who was watching the show, couldn't help but complain: "So, the throne of the Alex Empire was decided so casually? We haven't even conquered the capital yet."
