Chapter 541

Originally, Zanac only had a 50% chance of winning the throne, because although he obtained the support of Marquis Raeven and others, the eldest brother Barbro was the eldest son after all, and there were quite a few nobles supporting the other party.

But if Shengzai joined his camp, then the situation would be different.

Just as Marquis Raeven said before, Shengzai was not interested in the throne, otherwise his supporters would definitely not be few.

Not to mention the long-term, just the generals in the Kingdom's army, more than half of them supported Shengzai, plus Father's own intention, and the public opinion of the Kingdom.

If Shengzai joined the competition for the throne, he and his waste brother would definitely not be opponents.

Now Shengzai not only expressed in front of him that he would not compete for the throne but also said he would support him, which in Zanac's view, was simply the best news he had heard today.

"Shengzai, to support me in inheriting the throne, what conditions do you need me to agree to?"

Although Shengzai was willing to support him, which made Zanac ecstatic, he didn't have a hot head and directly expressed his willingness to agree to Shengzai for anything.

There is no free lunch in the world. Shengzai would come to him like this now, so it meant that the matter he asked him to do would definitely not be simple.

"First of all, after you ascend to the throne, I hope you can clear out some corrupt and useless Kingdom nobles, just like in the Empire.

Don't worry about clearing them out, it will affect the foundation of the Kingdom, because once the Kingdom encounters a real crisis, those guys can't do anything, and they will even hold us back.

Another thing is that I hope Royal Brother Zanac can be mentally prepared, because before long, the Kingdom will face the greatest crisis since its founding.

And this crisis does not come from our old opponent, the Baharuth Empire, but from an extremely powerful undead race!"

Ainz and the others had already attacked the Royal Capital, so that meant the time for them to establish the "Sorcerer Kingdom" was almost here.

On this continent, wanting to build a country requires territory and recognition from other countries.

As for the territory, because the Great Tomb of Nazarick is located near the border between the Kingdom and the Empire, Ainz had no intention of moving, so naturally, he could only start from the Kingdom and the Empire.

Compared to the unruly Kingdom, the submissive Empire was obviously more obedient, and in order to establish prestige, the Kingdom would also become the object of the Sorcerer Kingdom to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

"A powerful undead race?"

"That's right, I'll tell you the truth, Royal Brother Zanac. Whether it was the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth before or the vampire Xia Xia Xia Tiya Bloodfallen, they are actually subordinates of this undead race.

As for where their base camp is, it should be near the border between the Kingdom and the Empire, right?

In order to resist this disaster, the Kingdom needs a wise monarch, and Father is already old now. His inaction will eventually bury the Kingdom completely."

After listening to Shengzai's words, Zanac was completely silly. He didn't think Shengzai was alarmist, it was just that the amount of information Shengzai suddenly gave was too large, so that he was a bit hard to accept now.

Existences as powerful as Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and Xia Xia Xia Tiya Bloodfallen were just subordinates of others.

Then as their master, how powerful should the other party be?

No, it should be said, can their Kingdom really defeat such an enemy?

"Shengzai, since you tell me these words, then it means you have already made certain preparations.

And even facing such a strong enemy, you also have considerable certainty, right?"

As for exactly how much combat power the Great Tomb of Nazarick had, honestly, Shengzai had no bottom in his heart.

But those Guardians left by the "Eight Greed Kings," plus the shikigami summoned by Shengzai, in terms of top combat power, Shengzai felt that it should be enough to rival Ainz and the others.

The only thing Shengzai felt was difficult to handle was the grassroots combat power of both sides.

The super soldiers of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Death Knights and Death Swordsmen, had strength as high as level 35. Those in the Kingdom who could resist them could be counted on two hands.

Even if Shengzai and other top combat powers could drag Ainz and the others when the war started, hundreds of Death Knights would be enough to kill through the entire Kingdom.

The items left by the "Eight Greed Kings" could strengthen the army, but this degree was not enough.

So after Zanac became the King, Shengzai also hoped that the other party could give him an army. Shengzai intended to use the "Power of Evolution" to carry out collective strengthening for them, and then carry out special training and strengthening for them.

Because the situation was serious, Zanac later called Marquis Raeven, and after a discussion, they even decisively decided to force the palace tonight!

At the banquet, Ramposa III sat in the upper position with an extremely bright smile on his face.

He had been in power for many years. Although he had no faults, he also had no achievements. This time, leading everyone to repel the invading demons in a personal expedition was enough for him to brag about in front of other Kings of the Kingdom in the future.

You know, the capital he could brag about before had always been only his good son.

However, Ramposa III didn't know that his good son was now ready to let him abdicate early to enjoy his old age.

In the celebration banquet, nobles and adventurers could be said to be standing in two areas clearly.

If she used "Hell Abyss," it would undoubtedly level everything in the surroundings to the ground instantly, but this World-Class Item would also be unusable for a very long time.

Even they felt that Ramposa III was simply sick in the head, actually letting those vulgar adventurers come to the Royal Palace to attend such a grand banquet.

"Let go, what are you doing! I have already said, I am an adventurer, not the prostitute you speak of!

This noble lord, if you want to find a woman, please go to the red-light district."

"Shut up! I, this master, am the Count of the Kingdom. Being able to take a fancy to you, this bitch, is entirely your luck. If you don't know what's good for you again, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

It was inevitable that problems would occur when adventurers and Kingdom nobles were together for a banquet. And just when Shengzai and Zanac were discussing how to coerce Ramposa III to abdicate tonight, the sudden commotion in the banquet attracted their attention.

The cause was that a Kingdom Count was a bit drunk, so he took a fancy to a female adventurer who was attending the banquet in grand attire this time, and attempted to take the other party home directly to do things.

And for the noble's unreasonable behavior, the female adventurer was naturally unwilling, and in order to resist, she accidentally slapped the other party.

In the laws of the Kingdom, if a commoner takes action against a noble, the noble has the right to dispose of the commoner who hurt him.

But because this matter was the noble's rudeness first, this led to the complete outbreak of the conflict between the nobles and adventurers at the scene!

The noble who teased the female adventurer was not only a Kingdom noble Count, but also a supporter of the First Prince Barbro.

And now, in order to protect the nobles who supported him, Barbro naturally stood up to support the other party.
