Chapter 199 The Three-Person Plan

inside the room.

Lawrence took his seat.

Looking at Cana with Alicia and others.

I want to hear how he answers this question, and what qualifications the Night's Watch has to help him ascend the throne.

Kana sat back down.

He knocked on the table and said.

"Why don't you tell me what advantages your competitors have."

Lawrence looked at him.

He nodded silently.

"The eldest prince is my eldest brother. He is backed by the aristocracy and undoubtedly has the greatest power.

With the support of the nobles, he has a great say in the parliament. The nobles' private soldiers and money are all his advantages.

"The Second Prince, my brave second brother. He was chosen by the royal family, a brave knight, and the current general of the kingdom is his uncle.

The ones supporting us from behind are undoubtedly the current Kingdom soldiers."

"The Fourth Prince, my younger brother. He's actually no different from me, and the chances of him ascending the throne are slim.

Supporting him behind the scenes were the big businessmen, but they also had some connections with the nobles.

The reason he hasn't lost his qualification yet is simply because my eldest brother still needs him sometimes."

In addition, Lawrence, who originally had the qualifications to compete, has the Holy Light Church behind him.

In fact, only the top three are truly qualified to compete.

Although the merchant forces in this country have begun to flourish, they still have to rely on the support of the nobles.

It's just that they already have a certain say and ability to bargain with the nobles.

Generally speaking, the only ones still fighting for it are the eldest prince and the second prince.

After hearing these answers, Kana nodded slightly.

It wasn't much different from what he thought.

"First, let's talk about the advantages that neither of us has. These are also certain advantages that you once had."

Everyone looked at Kana.

"Public opinion. After all, the vast majority of people in this country are ordinary people. Even if they don't care sometimes, their opinions are very important.

If the king who sits on the throne is disliked by the vast majority of the common people, then the country will never be able to achieve peace."

Cana said as he looked towards Lawrence.

"You, who once supported the Church of Holy Light, I believe are trusted by most civilians in this country."

Lawrence sighed and nodded.

That's it.

Although the Church of Holy Light would not really give him much help in politics, the existence of the Church of Holy Light itself caused most civilians to care more about Lawrence, the third prince.

It also has the best reputation among the people.

After all, this prince often acts with the Church of Holy Light.

Alicia couldn't help but say, "But all this is meaningless. The fall of half of the country is a huge blow to the Kingdom of Cohen, including to the ordinary civilians.

Due to the rules of the cathedral, we cannot just participate in the war and can only provide medical treatment to these civilians.

Such behavior led to a decline in the reputation of the Church of Holy Light among the people, the fall of half of the country, and a large number of refugees.

It also caused most civilians to no longer support Lawrence."

Simply put, it was a sudden vampire offensive.

In addition, the Church of Holy Light cannot participate in either side of such a war between two countries.

This has led to a decline in their prestige among the people.

This also caused the third prince's original advantage to plummet.

Lawrence sighed.

This is also the reason why he lost his qualifications at this time.

He no longer has the advantage.

“Therefore, the people of the Kingdom of Cohen hope to reclaim their territory, fight back, and seek revenge.

Their wishes were naturally transferred to the second prince, with a certain amount of publicity.

My second brother accepted most of the civilians' wishes, and the remaining half fell on my eldest brother."

These are all publicity.

Even other forces in this country have to consider the opinions of the majority of the people in the kingdom.

This is also why the third prince, who had little power before, became one of the strong contenders.

After all, they can't use force against the third prince.

Everything else is fine, but if the Church of Holy Light really uses its military force, it won't just stand by and watch.

The Holy Light Church is a behemoth for the Kingdom of Cohen, even for the entire Kingdom of Cohen.

You can only deal with him within the scope of the rules.

Kana nodded and asked, "What's your father's opinion?"

After all, no matter what, who will become the new king ultimately depends on the choice of the old king.

“He’s definitely leaning towards the second brother, but he also has to consider the eldest brother’s side of things.

For the sake of the country's stability, he must wait for the victory of the competition until one side has an absolute advantage."

Perhaps the old king can choose an heir based on his own preferences, but can this heir really rule stably in the future?

This is an issue that must be considered.

After all, in this kingdom, the king cannot cover everything with one hand.

"Well, first of all, let's talk about the obstacles you need to clear and the conditions you must meet if you want to become king.

First of all, you need to gain public support, and the shortcut to gaining public support now is to demonstrate your bravery in subsequent wars and achieve the desired results.

Secondly, you need to suppress those nobles, limit their power and prestige, and prevent them from hindering you when you ascend the throne."

Lawrence nodded.

To put it roughly, these are indeed the two points.

The first point is equivalent to replacing his second brother, and the second point is equivalent to suppressing his eldest brother.

Khanna nodded towards the table.

“Well, let’s first talk about the first point, which is how to help you gain public opinion.

Your advantages in this regard are the Church of the Holy Light and the Night's Watch."

Cana pointed at Alicia and then at himself.

"When the time comes for a real counterattack, I believe the Church of Holy Light will have the authority to begin direct combat."

Alicia nodded.

After all, the vampires have basically been defined as an evil race that intends to subvert.

"And in this war, the Night's Watch will also participate."

Kana said.

Although the vampires are not cultists, the number of cultists among them is too large.

And there is one most important reason, which is that the hatred between the Night's Watch and the vampires is too great.

There is no need to say much about the Earl's side, whether they are refugees from the Kingdom of Savro or the Kingdom of Cohen.

The reason they became refugees was because of the vampires.

For dwarves, the primary target of hatred is demons and cultists.

The second hatred must be directed at the vampires, who are now eyeing us covetously from the bottom of the Gray Mountain Range.

Halflings and elves.

Needless to say, the reason they ended up in that situation was because the vampire fleet attacked them at sea.

Looking at the two people's puzzled eyes.

The two of them couldn't help but look at George and others behind Cana.

They were tempted to say that the number of Night Watchmen did not seem to be very large.

Whether it was the night watchmen Alicia saw half a year ago or the ones she saw now, their number was not large.

It can't be called an army.

"This is just a small part. If you are willing, the Night's Watch can help you take back the land lost by the Kingdom of Cohen."

Say it.

Alicia and Lawrence looked at Cana.

His eyes were full of distrust.

In their ears, this has already reached the level of bragging.

Kana smiled. "I know you won't believe me, so how about this?"

With that, Kana sat down and hooked his finger back.

Popot jumped onto Kana's shoulder and took the map from the backpack on his back.

Kana took it and spread it on the table.

The two of them took a look at the map.

Couldn't be more familiar.

The area in the center is the land of the Kingdom of Cohen, more than half of which has been occupied.

Cana pointed slightly higher up the land, where the exit to the eastern wilderness was.

Of course, other places can also be exits, but the exit here is the best and the connecting road is the flattest.

Kana tapped a little bit of magic on his finger and drew a horizontal line.

It slid straight past their exit in the Eastern Wilds, cutting through the fallen land.

“This is the intersection where we passed through the Eastern Wilds and led here.

And this line I draw will become the new line of defense."

As soon as these words came out.

The two men suddenly looked up at Cana.

This line covers a little more than 1/3 of the occupied land.

Ignore the emotions in their eyes.

Kana continued.

"We, the Night's Watch, will help you conquer this land.

The purpose of your coming here is not only to stabilize Rubek, but also to prepare to settle the troops of other forces that will gather here later.

This will become the front-line command post, from which the assembled troops will launch their counterattack."

Lawrence looked at Cana.

He himself may not be very clear about this purpose, it is just his speculation.

But Kana said it as if it was certain to happen.

"Not sure, but maybe that's it."

“Although there is the Snake Bend River, there are too many refugees gathered here. It’s a huge problem, isn’t it?
Taking this land will be enough to temporarily settle these refugees and resume production.

And all these achievements will be brought by you."

Kana's words were so tempting that they kept ringing in Lawrence's ears.

Kana continued, “You don’t need to take action, only the Night Watchmen are needed.

You just need to say that the Night's Watch is the external aid you invited and is an ally of the Church of Holy Light.

The Church of the Holy Light and the Night's Watch will be your supporters, and the achievements they make in the fight for the throne will naturally fall on your head.

In this way, you will immediately gain great prestige and a lot of support, far exceeding that of the eldest and second princes."

Alicia listened quietly beside her.

When did the Night's Watch become an ally of the Church of Light?

Of course, this is the case in the Kingdom of Cohen.

"That's against the rules," Alicia said.

This is equivalent to acting on one's own initiative, and it is a military action at that.

Cana looked at Alicia with a strange look.

"You represent the Church of Holy Light, why do you have to obey the orders of the parliament?

Now that the Holy Light Church has the qualifications to attack, can't it tolerate the cruel actions of the vampires?"

Alicia opened her mouth, but had to nod: “Of course.”

Cana looked at Lawrence again.

“You are the Third Prince, and you have watched your people suffer so much, and watched the land that was once your country become the ghost of the vampires.

How can you bear it? Nature has taken action, and whether you will be punished or not depends only on whether your action is successful.

Under the current circumstances, successfully reclaiming such a large piece of land will only bring praise.

As for whether the rules are followed, who cares?

In other words, who dares to raise any opinions?
As for the benefits of this action to Kana and the Night Watch.

That would be too much.

First of all, with this one battle alone, the Night's Watch will directly become a well-known powerful organization here.

And with the endorsement of the Holy Light Church and the three princes, a new earl of the Kingdom of Cohen was added.

The Night Watch will naturally have power.

Have the power to act uprightly in this country.

The Night Watchmen also solved the problem of apparent legitimacy.

By taking over this land, goods from the eastern wilderness can be quickly transported to the territory of the Kingdom of Cohen by road.

The fastest nurturing pointer chamber of commerce.

With these products, we quickly occupied the entire country's market in this area.

Then, through the seaport of the Kingdom of Cohen, the Pointer Chamber of Commerce will take these goods to other countries.

Quickly let the [Night Watchmen] among the Night Watchmen start collecting intelligence.

And Kana continued.

“When the land is recovered, those damn nobles will definitely find a way to return.

In the recovered lands, the Church of Light and the Night's Watch will firmly hold power.

The appointment of officials, I believe, will become your people under your own operation.

In this way, even if these nobles return to their own territories, you will find that they have already lost control of their territories.

Their territory is under your control. Even though the nobility has nominal power, they are powerless in practice."

As he spoke, Kana pointed at himself.

“To take back their rights, these nobles can naturally act through force, and even you can’t say anything.

But the Night's Watch will teach them well that force cannot help them solve any problems."

"In this reclaimed territory, the nobility has naturally been sidelined. Nobles in more than half of the territory no longer have the rights they deserve. So, do they really still have such a strong voice in the Council of Nobles?

If most of this territory is like what I described, what are your chances of ascending the throne?"

Kana's words echoed throughout the room.

The future he envisioned was so beautiful that Lawrence and Alicia couldn't help but fantasize about it.

You have to know that the Holy Light Church where Alicia and others are located has never been able to develop very well in the Kingdom of Cohen and has been restricted in many ways.

Then, Kana uttered his final words.

"Those nobles are colluding with the cultists. How many of these cities that haven't fallen yet are already embroiled in danger?

Even if we do nothing, these nobles will be destroyed by the cultists' madness.

You should know that these cultists who believe in evil gods don't care about so-called power, fame, or country.

They want disruption and chaos.”

This is why Kana acted this way.

There is no need for Kana and others to completely recover the lost territory.

The nobles will destroy themselves because of the cultists.

It can be said.

If Kana doesn't want to see this country fall into the paradise of cultists.

Then he must act.

As long as he takes action, even if he does not cooperate with Lawrence, Lawrence will become the king of this country.

Then cooperation is naturally the best way.

Clear the country quickly.

This gave the Night Watch a foundation from which they could quickly develop and spread.

Lawrence calmed down.

Look at Kana.

"If you want to achieve all your goals, you must be able to take over this area as you said."

Kana said with a smile.

"Then, let's make a verbal oath.

The Night's Watch will take this area, and then you will have to swear an oath. The Night's Watch will also cooperate with the Church of the Holy Light to nominate you as the king of this country."

Lawrence looked at him and nodded slightly.
