“Your Majesty, the spoils of war will be distributed by the parliament. This is a rule set by our ancestors! What is the Dragon Protector Army doing now? Are they going to mutiny? Are they going to rebel?”

Dragon Yanhui saw that Lin Chen had stepped forward and his voice was powerful. Coupled with the many soldiers of the Dragon Protector Army, he definitely could not suppress them alone. However, Dragon Yanhui’s gaze was also very fierce.

When he was on the empire’s battlefield, he saw that Lin Chen was like a fish in water. When he saw that Dragon Yandao was conferred the title of first-rank marshal on the spot, Dragon Yanhui was already very dissatisfied!

Ever since he inherited the title of Obedience Duke, Dragon Yanhui had been close to the nobles and successfully controlled the parliament… It could be said that he controlled almost all the nobles in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!

This was a very huge force.

First of all, with the acquisition of land and resources, the nobles had controlled about 40% of the cultivation resources in the country from the beginning of the country. Now, they controlled more than 60% of the land and cultivation resources.

In addition, more than 80% of the freelance cultivators in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom had no choice but to submit to these rules in order to have the resources to cultivate.

How powerful was this power?

Therefore, even though the Dragon Protector Army had just won a huge battle and their morale was high, when they returned to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, Obedience Duke, Dragon Yanhui, still dared to rally the nobles and suppress their interests!

After all, the benefits this time were too great!

Even if it was reduced by 10%, it was a huge loss for the nobles.

In fact, Dragon Yandao had already expected such a situation.

After all, this was the nature of the nobles.

He had even discussed it with Lin Chen… However, when Dragon Yandao and Lin Chen were discussing this matter, there was someone else beside them.

However, this person was not the king of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

In Dragon Yandao’s opinion, although the king on the throne seemed to want to work hard and even take back the land from the nobles, it was actually a very selfish act.

It was a very simple principle… If your king really wanted to change the phenomenon of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom being devoured by the nobles step by step, why didn’t you just ask the Dragon Protector Army for help?

Would Dragon Yandao not support him?

However, Dragon Yandao had never been questioned by the king.

How did the king do it?

He went to Dragon Yandao and poached some capable people from the Royal Guards. Gold Spear was one of them.

Then, Gold Spear would cause trouble and snatch the land of the nobles…

Why did the king do this?

It was very simple!

That was because he did not want to reform.

He only wanted to be rich for himself!

Therefore, he could just snatch the mineral vein.

As for the chaotic state of the country, he could not do anything about it.

Therefore, Dragon Yandao had seen through him.

Then, who was Dragon Yandao looking for to discuss with Lin Chen?

Dragon Qingyue!

The Eldest Princess of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

It was also at that time that Lin Chen found out about the relationship between Dragon Yandao and Dragon Qingyue… An alliance of interests.

Indeed.

Dragon Qingyue had always been in charge of the military expenses of the Dragon Guards. She and Dragon Yandao would definitely have many opportunities to interact. It was only natural that the two of them could become an alliance of interests.

At that time, the parliament had yet to begin.

The nobles were having a meeting together.

The king was also negotiating with some people.

As for Dragon Yandao and Dragon Qingyue, they naturally dragged Lin Chen along for a meeting.

At that time, Dragon Yandao and Dragon Qingyue were only discussing how to join forces and fight for some benefits for the Dragon Protector Army from the nobles and the royal family.

The two of them even discussed for a long time how much they could get.

Until Lin Chen said, “Eldest Princess, Protector Duke, if the Dragon Protector Army still needs you to plan like this every time in the future to obtain benefits, I think we won’t be able to go far even if we reach the level-three battlefield! Perhaps there’s even the risk of our country being destroyed. On the level-three battlefield, I heard that just the Angel Race has several powerful countries, such as the Light Angels, the Dark Angels, the Holy Angels, and the Fallen Angels. Moreover, every country is not weaker than the Immortal Spirit Race!”

That was indeed the case.

The opponents on the Level 3 battlefield were all much stronger than those on the Level 2 battlefield!

However, what could they do?

Who asked the king and the nobles to be so selfish!

The Dragon Protector Army had obtained the benefits themselves, but with the rules of their ancestors, they could only think of ways to fight for them themselves.

They had to fight for them from the king and the nobles!

Seeing that Dragon Yandao and Dragon Qingyue were silent, Lin Chen sneered. “Don’t the two of you think it’s ridiculous? These rewards were all obtained by the Dragon Protector Army. The commander of the battlefield is the Protector Duke, and the MVP of the battlefield is me! And now, I even have to kneel down and beg them to give me some rewards. What kind of logic is that?”

At this moment, Dragon Yandao finally understood what Lin Chen meant. He said in a muffled voice, “Lin Chen, what do you want?”

“Is our Deputy Commander-in-Chief Lin planning a military coup?”

Dragon Qingyue looked at Lin Chen and asked meaningfully.

Lin Chen indeed had this intention.

He had thought that Dragon Yandao would at least support him.

However, Dragon Yandao said coldly, “No! The Dragon Spirit Kingdom must have the surname Dragon! Lin Chen, no matter what, I’m still a member of the Dragon family. Do you want me to go against my ancestors?”

Dragon Yandao was a very principled person.

Even though he was a pretentious person who liked to pretend to be cool.

However, when it came to righteousness, he would never owe anyone anything!

Hearing his words, Lin Chen fell silent.

But at this moment, a person walked in.

Lin Chen even knew him.

“Mr. Winter?” Lin Chen greeted.

Dragon Yandao, on the other hand, frowned. A thick killing intent appeared in his eyes as he asked, “Why did you come in… What did you hear?”

“Protector Duke, calm down!”

Winter smiled and immediately said, “I won’t spread what happened today. In fact… I was the one who asked the Eldest Princess to let me eavesdrop. Moreover, I think City Lord Lin’s words might be possible!”

“What do you mean?”

Dragon Yandao frowned and said coldly, “Why? Are you all going to rebel?”

“No!”

Winter hurriedly said, “Protector Duke, don’t misunderstand. I just feel that the king needs to be changed. The entire system of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom also needs to be changed! As you can see, the ruling of the nobles can’t bring any benefits to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom… Since that’s the case, why don’t we change everything?”

“Hehe, change… Who are you going to replace as king? The princes are still young in the royal family… If you want me to be king, forget it. I can’t and don’t want to be!” Dragon Yandao seemed to understand what Winter meant.

What came to his mind was that Winter planned to make him king.

Naturally, Dragon Yandao did not agree.

He belonged to the Empire’s battlefield!

Being a king… was too tiring.

Therefore, Dragon Yandao scolded, “Cut it out! The king has to be a direct descendant of the royal family.”

But Winter smiled and said, “Why can’t the First Princess be the queen?”

“Eldest Princess…”

Dragon Yandao was stunned.

Winter continued, “In the Ice Nation, there’s the Queen of the Night. In the Immortal Spirit Kingdom, there was also the Crown Princess… Then why can’t our Dragon Spirit Kingdom have a queen? The Eldest Princess is not married, and her bloodline is even purer. Can’t she be the queen?”

“Yes, why can’t the Eldest Princess?” Dragon Yandao looked enlightened.

Dragon Qingyue!

This was his hardcore ally.

Moreover, Dragon Qingyue was not just a flower vase. She had been managing the royal family’s finances for so many years. Her methods were much more brilliant than the current king’s!

Most importantly… Dragon Qingyue was also against noble rule!

“It seems like it can really be done!”

Dragon Yandao relented, but he immediately asked, “Eldest Princess, what do you think?”

“I…” On the other hand, Dragon Qingyue was a little flustered. However, she quickly calmed down and glanced at Dragon Yandao, Lin Chen, and Winter, who was bent on pushing her to the top. Dragon Qingyue couldn’t help but ask, “What about my older brother?”

Her older brother was the current king.

“The king must die, and the nobles must be eliminated!” Winter said.

This merchant revealed his fangs as a strategist for the first time…
