Chapter 539 The Filial Son Plans to Force the Emperor to Abdicate

Zanak was only 50% confident of winning the throne, because although he had the support of Reibourn and others, his elder brother Pablo was the eldest son and had many nobles supporting the other side.

But if Seiya joins his side, the situation will be different.

Just as Reiboun said before, Seiya has no desire for the throne, otherwise he would definitely have many supporters.

Leaving aside distant examples, most of the generals in the kingdom's army support Seiya, in addition to the emperor's own intentions and the will of the people in the kingdom.

If Seiya were to join the fight for the throne, he and his useless older brother would have no chance against each other.

Now, not only did Seiya declare to his face that he would not vie for the throne, but he also said he would support him. To Zanak, this was the best news he had heard all day.

"Holy one, support my succession to the throne, what conditions do you need me to agree to?"

Although Zanak was overjoyed that Seiya was willing to support him, he did not impulsively agree to do anything Seiya asked.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. The fact that Seiya has come to me like this means that the thing he asked me to do is definitely not simple.

"First of all, once you ascend the throne, I hope you will do what the Empire does and eliminate some corrupt and useless royal nobles."

Don't worry about purging them; it will affect the foundation of the kingdom. Those guys will be of no use and will only cause trouble if the kingdom faces a real crisis.

In addition, it is hoped that Prince Zanak can be mentally prepared, because soon the kingdom will face the biggest crisis since its founding.

This crisis doesn't come from our old rival, the Bahars Empire, but from the extremely powerful undead!

Old Bones and his forces have already attacked the capital, which means that the time for them to establish their own "Magic Kingdom" is almost here.

On this continent, to establish a nation, one must possess territory and gain recognition from other countries.

As for territories, since the Great Tomb of Nazarick is located on the border between the Kingdom and the Empire, and Ainz Ooal Gown has no intention of moving, he can only start with the Kingdom and the Empire.

Compared to the unruly kingdoms, the submissive empires are obviously more obedient, and in order to establish their authority, the kingdoms will also become targets for the magical kingdoms to make an example of.

"A powerful undead race?"

“That’s right, I’ll tell you the truth, Brother Zanak. Whether it was the Demon Emperor Adabavo or the vampire Shalltear Bradford, they were all subordinates of this undead race.”

As for their main base, it should be near the border between the kingdom and the empire.

To avert this disaster, the kingdom needs a wise ruler, but my father is now old, and his inaction will only lead to the kingdom's complete destruction.

After hearing Seiya's words, Zanak was completely dumbfounded. He didn't think Seiya was exaggerating, but the amount of information Seiya suddenly gave was so great that he found it hard to accept.

Even powerful beings like the Demon Emperor Adabavo and Shalltear Bradford were merely subordinates of others.

So, how powerful must the other party be, as their master?
No, the question should be: can their kingdom truly defeat such an enemy?
“Holy one, since you are saying these things to me, it means that you have already made certain preparations.”

And even facing such a formidable enemy, you must be quite confident, right?

To be honest, Seiya wasn't entirely sure how powerful the Great Tomb of Nazarick was. However, he felt that the guardians left behind by the Eight Greed Kings, along with the shikigami summoned by Seiya, should be able to rival Ainz Ooal Gown and his group in terms of top-tier combat strength.

The only thing that Seiya found difficult was the issue of the basic combat strength of both sides.

The super soldiers Death Knights and Death Swordsmen at the Great Tomb of Nazarick are level 35 strong. The kingdom can count on one hand the number of units that can stand up to them.

Even if top-tier combatants like Seiya could hold off Ainz and his group when the war started, a hundred or so Death Knights would be enough to wipe out the entire kingdom.

The items left behind by the "Eight Desire Kings" can strengthen the army, but this is not enough.

So when Zanak became king, Seiya hoped that he could give him an army. Seiya planned to use the "power of evolution" to collectively strengthen them and then give them special training.

Because of the seriousness of the situation, Zanak then called on Rebun Hou, and after some discussion, the three of them decisively decided to stage a coup that very night!

At the banquet, Rambossa III sat in the head seat with a very bright smile on his face.

He has reigned for many years without making any mistakes, but he has also achieved nothing. This time, he personally led the army to repel the attacking demons. This will be enough for him to brag about when he encounters other kings in the future.

You should know that his only source of pride in the past was his good son.

However, what Lambossa III didn't know was that his good son was already preparing him to abdicate early and live out his days in peace.

During the celebratory banquet, nobles and adventurers stood in two distinct areas.

Adventurers dislike dealing with arrogant nobles, and the kingdom's nobles, in turn, look down on adventurers of humble origins.

They even thought Lambossa III was completely out of his mind for allowing those uncouth adventurers to attend such a grand banquet at the palace.

"Let go! What are you doing! I've already said I'm an adventurer, not the prostitute you're talking about!"

"My lord, if you wish to find women, please visit a brothel."

"Shut up! I am Earl Charles of the Kingdom. It's your luck that I've taken a liking to a whore like you. If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite!"

When adventurers and royal nobles gather for a banquet, problems are bound to arise. Just as Seiya and Zanak were discussing how to coerce Rambossa III into abdicating that night, a sudden commotion at the banquet caught their attention.

The incident began when a count, somewhat drunk, took a liking to a female adventurer who was dressed up for the banquet and attempted to take her home to do his bidding.

The female adventurer was naturally unwilling to accept the nobleman's arrogant and unreasonable behavior, and in order to resist, she accidentally slapped him.

According to the kingdom's laws, if a commoner attacks a nobleman, the nobleman has the right to punish the commoner who injured him.

However, since the nobles were the ones who were rude first, the conflict between the nobles and the adventurers on the scene completely erupted!
The nobleman who flirted with the female adventurer was not only a noble count in the kingdom, but also a supporter of the eldest prince, Pablo.

In order to protect the nobles who supported him, Pablo naturally stood up to support them.
