133 War Mission: The Division of the Kingdom!

[tryant: sorry for the short break :) here are 5 chapters]

Looking at the appearance of the Marquis of the Wild Lion, although Allen had a smile on his face, his heart became slightly solemn. It seemed that the Marquis was indeed looking for him.

"Sir, would you like to go to Sirius Castle for a seat?" Allen extended an invitation.

"Of course, since I was discovered by your kid, I don't think too much about it," the Marquis of the Wild Lion replied, his expression returning to calm.

Soon, he and Allen entered Sirius Castle. After entering the castle, Allen asked someone to bring black tea and offered a cup to Marquis Mad Lion before speaking.

"I don't know what the matter is, sir?" Allen asked, getting straight to the point.

"Do you know that our Archduke is loyal to the Norton Kingdom, right?" the Marquis of the Wild Lion's voice became slightly solemn.

"I do. It's not just us, eight duchies in the south are vassals of the Norton Kingdom, including the Duchy of Tanis and the Duchy of Shake," Allen skillfully replied. He had learned this in his childhood from his mentor.

"The old king of Norton Kingdom is about to reach the end of his life, and the new king is about to take the throne," the Marquis of the Wild Lion said word by word.

The moment Allen heard this sentence, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, trigger the war mission, 'the division of the kingdom!'"

"The king of the Norton Kingdom, a dynasty that has lasted for thousands of years, has grown old and is about to die."

"The old king has three to twenty-five heirs, all of whom are ambitious princes. How could they follow the rules to let the eldest son succeed to the throne? The three princes have secretly gathered their forces, and now the Norton Kingdom has begun to be chaotic and precarious."

"Countdown to War Mission: Four Months and Eighteen Days."

As Allen read the quest, he watched the Marquis of the Wild Lion, waiting for his next words. If he guessed correctly, the turning point of this chain of quests would be the words of the Marquis of the Wild Lion.

"According to the law of eldest son succession, the position of the king of the kingdom should be inherited by the eldest prince, but the remaining two princes refused to accept it. They have secretly gathered their strength and are ready to seize power after the death of the old king."

"Now the entire Norton Kingdom has begun to be in chaos, and the three princes' intentions are clear. When the old king dies, at that time, we, the Principality of Ryan, have to take a stand."

There was a hint of concern in the Marquis of the Wild Lion's tone.

"To which prince does the Principality of Lane belong?" Alan asked curiously.

"Prince Neuer's lineage," the Marquis of the Wild Lion replied with a slight sigh.

"The eldest prince? Did the Archduke favor the inheritance of the other party?" Alan was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the eldest prince, who has the legitimate right of inheritance, is the best candidate, and he has a close personal relationship with the eldest duke. They were childhood friends," the Marquis of the Wild Lion explained. "Friends?"

Allen was taken aback, feeling a resemblance to his relationship with Leonardo.

"Yes, Archduke Ryan chose the eldest prince because of moral etiquette and their friendship. Of course, the most important reason is that the old king's will is for the eldest prince to be the king."

"However, although His Royal Highness is the eldest son and has the support of most civil servants, he lacks support from the military. The guards obey his orders, but the other two princes have strong military power."

"The only ones who support the eldest prince are the eldest Duke Ryan and the eldest Duke Shake. The other princes support the second or third prince. In terms of military strength, the eldest prince is at a significant disadvantage."

"For us, this is very unfavorable," the Marquis of the Wild Lion added.

Which principality does Allen belong to?"

Allen asked with curiosity. "Prince Neuer's lineage," the Marquis of the Wild Lion said with a slight sigh.

"The eldest prince? Did the eldest duke have his eye on the other party's inheritance?" Alan expressed his surprise.

"Yes, the eldest prince, who has the legitimate right of inheritance, is the best candidate, and he has a close personal relationship with the eldest duke. They were childhood friends," the Marquis of the Wild Lion explained. "Friends?"

Allen understood why the Marquis of the Wild Lion was so concerned, and he had a hunch about the Marquis's purpose. It wasn't for the Roland Chamber of Commerce, as their influence was limited in the context of the entire kingdom. It was clear that the Marquis had something else in mind, and it seemed to involve Allen directly.

"Is the Marquis here for me?" Allen raised an eyebrow.

"I'm here to inform you that within half a year, the king of Norton Kingdom will pass away, and the entire kingdom will descend into chaos. The Grand Duke will lead his forces north. This is both a crisis and an opportunity. What do you think?" There was anticipation in the Marquis of the Wild Lion's voice.

Allen was taken aback, and he thought he had a pretty good understanding of the situation. It was indeed a crisis, but as for the opportunity, he had his doubts. Joining a massive conflict with too many uncertainties and risks was not a decision he would make lightly.

"I appreciate the offer, but I can't commit to joining you. Given the current state of Sirius and my limited resources, I believe I should stay and continue developing here," Allen declined the Marquis's invitation. "As for the situation in the duchy, there are other Marquises who can handle it. I'll focus on building up Sirius."

The Marquis of the Wild Lion was slightly disappointed but understood Allen's perspective. He patted his head, saying, "I knew you would refuse, but it was worth a try. Your ability to enhance warriors would have been a great asset to our cause. Nevertheless, I hope you'll have enough time to develop."

Allen realized that his unique abilities were attracting attention, and he had become the focus of the Marquis's visit.

"That's understandable. After the Grand Duke departs, the five Marquises will be gone, leaving the duchy's interior somewhat empty. Recently, I've felt that the atmosphere in the capital is uneasy. Your presence here makes me feel
