Chapter 406: Who is Ninth Brother?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Dominic Lowe was held hostage, and the blade was pressed against his neck.
Who would dare to treat Duke Lowe like this in the capital?
He alone could suppress the capital!
But now.
It was a mistake for him to leave the capital and come to the Neal family manor.
This was a wolf’s den!
Not to mention Dominic, even if a pinnacle came, they would probably die!
Look at who were at the Neal family manor today.
The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the royal guards were all here.
rlkvvo pinnacles of the royal guards!
More importantly, the two of them were wearing the same pair of pants.
If there was trouble, they would shoulder it together.
They had been together ever since they were young.
They were also two jokers who had been fighting since they were young. No matter which of the two outsiders touched, the other would never let them go.
Dominic was held hostage by a blade. He was so angry that his entire body trembled. “b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Kill him!”
Tobey Lapras stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a
45-degree angle.
Who was he imitating?
Braydon Neal’s face darkened.
Tobey was on the verge of death, testing the waters like crazy!
Dominic was so angry that he was fuming.
He was really unlucky to meet these two devil kings today.
He thought that when the two of them grew up and controlled 200,000 royal guards, their personalities would change.
In the end, they were all b.a.s.t.a.r.ds just like when they were young!
“Syrus, stop fooling around and let Duke Lowe go!” Braydon said softly. “If he lets him go, he’ll definitely complain when we get back!”
Tobey’s words were really malicious.
“With Duke Lowe’s character, he probably won’t reveal anything about today’s incident to the public.” Braydon smiled like a spring breeze.
Dominic’s heart instantly turned cold.
This smile was a threat!
Based on Dominic’s experience, he had been beaten up several times by the ruthless men of the northern army.
This smile was a blatant threat.
Dominic admitted defeat. If he did not admit defeat, he would be beaten up again today.
He might even die here.
He said in a low voice, “Let’s forget about today’s matter. Tobey just said that the coronation ceremony should be canceled. Why?”
“Do you think my brother’s injuries will recover in twenty days?”
Tobey asked calmly.
Dominic immediately understood what he meant.
Braydon’s injuries had not fully recovered, so he could not be conferred those t.i.tles.
After all, the body had to bear the fate of the country!
The fate of Hansworth.
If he was not in his peak condition, he would not be able to withstand it with his sick body!
Moreover, Braydon’s injuries were already life-threatening. It was impossible for him to recover in a short twenty days.
Dominic stubbornly said, “The coronation ceremony is a national affair. It has already been decided and cannot be changed. The injuries on the Northern King’s body must be healed before the coronation even if it takes the entire country’s power to do so!
“You don’t have to say anything else. This is very important, and it concerns the future of Hansworth for thousands of years.
“I can tell you that even if a pinnacle tries to stop the ceremony on Mount Tanish, he will die!”
Dominic’s words were filled with determination.
Dominic would put his life on the line for this.
The degree of importance the capital attached to the coronation ceremony exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Braydon was expressionless. He had originally planned to use this injury to deceive the capital.
When the time came, even with his injuries, the Mount Tanish official rite ceremony could be held as usual. However, the ceremony to confer the additional t.i.tles to Braydon should be canceled.
Braydon was still rejecting the t.i.tle conferment ceremony.
Once he was conferred the t.i.tle of king, these three words alone carried the glory of Hansworth.
He would be below one person and above tens of thousands of people!
All the officials in the palace and the generals in the military had to listen to Braydon’s orders.
Braydon would be completely pushed onto the altar.
He would be high and mighty, sitting alone on the peak of Mount Tanish, becoming the most powerful genius of the younger generation in the world.
What kind of loneliness was behind this glory?
Braydon had been in the northern territory for thirteen years.
He knew better than anyone else!
In the northern region, his teacher, Finley Yanagi, once said that the king of the northern region was never wrong!
This meant that in the northern army, the upper cla.s.s was respected, and the lower cla.s.s was lowly.
The dignity of a general was not to be provoked.
Otherwise, the person who did such a thing would be severely punished.
Braydon had lived alone in the northern territory for more than ten years.
And now, in the capital, he had to continue living such a life.
How would Braydon be willing!
One could imagine what would happen next.
Dominic had come personally to bring Braydon back to the capital to recuperate, but he was rejected.
Out of desperation, he left behind a supreme-grade spiritual herb.
This herb was kept in the national treasury.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Dominic would not use it either.
However, Braydon rejected this spiritual herb and asked Dominic to bring it back.
This was clearly a refusal to take the herb.
He was also refusing to heal himself.
“Your injuries have worsened to such an extent. Cancel the meeting of the hundred generals on the third of next month!” Dominic sighed.
“Everything will go on as usual!”
Braydon stood up with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “Although my body is injured, I am still the overlord of the northern territory!” It was a calm sentence.
It represented Braydon’s determination and that the plan to recover the 36 islands in Ludwig would remain unchanged.
The capital would not change anything about the t.i.tle conferment ceremony.
Similarly, the northern army would not give in when it came to the war between nations.
The hundred-generals meeting on the third of next month would be held as usual!
Braydon wanted to conquer the 36 islands and destroy Banko, Song and Marshland!
The blood feud of 700,000 Ludwig army men had to be resolved.
The incident with the Ludwig army was a national humiliation!
All the men of the northern army dare not forget the humiliation of that year.
Once the hundred -generals meeting was held…
The seven elite high-ranking generals of Hansworth would gather in Preston and descend on the Neal family manor.
Once the battle of Ludwig began, the elites of the various divisions would provide the greatest support.
Syrus Yacca, the King of Seven of the royal guards, and Tobey Lapras, the great general of the royal guards, were both among the hundred generals of the Military Department.
All the generals would listen to the Northern King’s order!
Seeing this, Dominic knew that he had come in vain today.
Although he was Duke Lowe, he could not change Braydon’s mind.
However…
Dominic left behind a sentence, “If you insist on starting a war to recover the Ludwig Islands, I will evacuate the people of Hansworth in the islands tomorrow.”
“Evacuate?”
Instantly, everyone in the living room frowned.
Their initial plan was to launch a surprise attack on the Ludwig Islands.
Now that Dominic said that he would evacuate the people of Hansworth in the islands first, it was undoubtedly giving the three nations a warning. Every time there was a war, they would first evacuate the people of Hansworth residing there.
If that was the case, why would the northern army talk about surprise attacks?
However, evacuation was unavoidable.
Braydon chuckled. “Let Ninth Brother handle this matter. Let Westley’s governor office discuss it.”
“Who is Ninth Brother?”
Dominic’s old face darkened as he frowned.
Braydon smiled playfully. “Guess!”
“Is it the king of the West, Joshua Mandor?”
Dominic raised his voice.
This question made Luther Carden and Yuri Qualls smile cheekily.
They did not plan to hide this from Dominic anymore.
Luther sat in the wheelchair and smiled lightly. “Duke Lowe’s guess is correct. Ninth Brother is Joshua Mandor, the young master of the western army. He is the commander of the ninth legion of the northern army!”
Dominic’s face turned pale!
