Jueying continued, picking up where Yujingzi left off, "Everyone knows that the most important of the nine major powers within the Imperial Crown are [the power of law], [the power of adjudication], and [the power of personnel]."
"Back then, Mountain Lord strongly supported Silver Dragon's usurpation of the Imperial Emperor. Silver Dragon effectively held both legal and judicial powers; he was both a player and a referee."
"At that time, the Silver Dragon revised the Imperial Crown's rules and regulations, intending to force the Imperial Emperor to relinquish his position Captain of the Imperial Crown."
"Afterwards, Silver Dragon, combining the latest revised rules and regulations of the Imperial Crown Imperial Emperor, will conduct a public trial of the Imperial Emperor and expel him from the team!"
The group chat was filled with mixed feelings. The Silver Dragon's usurpation of the Imperial Emperor was a wound that the Imperial Crown could never heal, as it directly led to the Captain Imperial Emperor relinquishing all authority and becoming a hands-off manager.
Jueying's words were filled with emotion. "At the critical moment, Phoenix stepped forward to save the Imperial Emperor. She used her [personnel power] to reject the Silver Dragon's decision to exile the Imperial Emperor from the team."
This bought the Imperial Emperor enough time.
" The Imperial Emperor rallied the supporters within the team, united the neutrals, and divided the opposition. Finally, with the help of the Phoenix, he defeated the Silver Dragon, regained his authority, and exiled the Silver Dragon from the team on charges of treason."
The group chat members silently gave Phoenix a thumbs up.
Among the Three Emperors' Rebellion, the Silver Dragon's betrayal is beyond redemption, the Mountain Lord's betrayal can be somewhat redeemed, but the Phoenix doesn't need redemption because, in fact, he never betrayed the Imperial Emperor.
Phoenix did have private contact with Hundred Demons Nurarihyon, but it was later discovered that the so-called chat screenshot of Phoenix betraying the Imperial Emperor was actually a photoshopped image created by Hundred Demons Nurarihyon to extract information from Phoenix.
but.
The Imperial Emperor gave Phoenix a chance to explain, but Phoenix was too proud to explain, so the Imperial Emperor banished Phoenix from the Imperial Crown Team on charges of treason.
"Let's get back to the main point!" Wangsun said. "Whether Shejun is a member of the Hundred Demons Nurarihyon, and whether Hanlu is a high-ranking member of the Hundred Demons faction, both require thorough investigation and conclusive evidence before a final conclusion can be drawn."
"However, during the investigation, Hanlu, the current Shejun, must resign and hand over his duties to one or two core members."
The group chat members were itching to make a move.
Those are the most important [legal power] and [judicial power]. As long as one can perform these duties, even just obtaining one of them will result in a geometric increase in one's status within the team.
But Wangsun's next words did indeed extinguish the unrealistic fantasies in some people's hearts.
"Because the power of law and adjudication is of paramount importance," Wangsun's emotions calmed down. "The core members selected for this role are limited to the three vice-captains of the Imperial Crown: Yujingzi, Huranlang, and Jueying."
"Now that I've finished speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"
Everyone in the group chat expressed their agreement.
What a joke! The Wangsun is in charge of finances and is the veritable God of Imperial Crown. Anyone who dares to oppose him should be careful, or he might withhold the salaries, bonuses, and benefits of your department and the Imperial Alliance.
Wangsun continued, " Yujingzi, Huranlang, Jueying, each of you has three minutes to speak during the election. After you have all spoken, the team will hold a vote."
Yujingzi: "Okay."
Huranlang: "Alright."
Jueying smiled and said, "No problem."
"In that case," Yujingzi said modestly, " Brother Yang, why don't you go first?"
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Huranlang waved his hand and said, "As the number one in our Imperial Crown's internal war, the Strongest Uncrowned Emperor, and now the chief vice-captain, it's only natural that you go first."
" Brother Yang, you're flattering me to death," Yujingzi said modestly. "As the Strongest Uncrowned Emperor of the eight generations of Imperial Crown, second only to the captain emperor, you are the face of Imperial Emperor's Imperial Crown."
"Whether in terms of seniority or gaming skills, Imperial Crown is in a league of its own. You must be the first to give this campaign speech."
The Huranlang laughed, "Since the Little Snake has already put it this way, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse. Alright, I'll go first."
Wangsun the three-minute countdown.
"Actually, there's not much to say," the Huranlang smacked his lips. "I'm just a simple-minded, physically strong Martial General with very little desire for power. My greatest desire is to challenge top players in games."
"I joined Imperial Crown because I wanted to challenge the number one King of Glory, Imperial Emperor, even though I lost more often than I won."
The Huranlang softly.
"However, I was gradually drawn to the Imperial Emperor's personal charisma. From initial admiration to reverence, and finally to swearing loyalty, I genuinely wanted to become the Imperial Emperor's right-hand man."
"But--"
The Huranlang changed the subject, " The Imperial Emperor has always treated me as a substitute for the Mountain Lord, which makes me resentful and often feel indignant, not towards the Imperial Emperor, but towards the Mountain Lord."
"Don't let my rough appearance fool you; I'm quite perceptive. I know I can never replace the Mountain Lord in the Imperial Emperor's heart, but I want to defeat Mountain Lord through hard work."
"I will prove to the Imperial Emperor that I am stronger and more capable than the Mountain Lord. Although I cannot become the missing left arm of the Mountain Lord, I will become his right arm, forever loyal to him."
The group chat participants were deeply moved.
When the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord rebelled and left the team, the Imperial Emperor was like a lost soul, and the remaining core members felt both heartache and jealousy.
What I feel sorry for is the Imperial Emperor who was betrayed, and what I envy is the sincere affection the Imperial Emperor poured into the three of them, treating the Silver Dragon as family, the Phoenix as a lover, and the Mountain Lord as a close friend.
The departure of the Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord took away not only half of the Imperial Crown, but also the Imperial Emperor's sincere emotions, including family, love, and friendship.
From then on, Imperial Emperor Imperial Emperor no longer poured out his true feelings when interacting with the remaining core members. His heart was encased in a hard armor, and no core member could truly enter Imperial Emperor heart anymore.
Huranlang nodded and said, "That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone."
Wangsun said emotionlessly, "Very well, let's invite Yujingzi to speak."
" Brother Yang's speech was brilliant; I was deeply moved after listening to it," Yujingzi said with deep emotion. "To be honest, I really envy Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord and the others."
"Simply because they were among the first core members to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Emperor, the Imperial Emperor gave them everything."
"Back then, they were Nurarihyon into joining the Hundred Demons Team by Nurarihyon. Imperial Emperor risked his life, single-handedly taking on 100 core members of the Hundred Demons Squad, and finally fought the Hundred Demons Squad leader Shura to a nine-out-of-nine victory, rescuing them."
" The Imperial Emperor truly keeps his word; he will protect those who are loyal to him at all costs."
"Therefore, even though the Imperial Emperor is completely different from before, I am still willing to be loyal to Imperial Emperor, because I know that no matter how the Imperial Emperor changes, his protection of those who are loyal to him will never change!"
The hearts of everyone in the group chat trembled; they felt the same way.
Yujingzi nodded. "Thank you everyone."
Wangsun's emotions flustered. "Alright, let's Jueying applause to speak."
Jueying took a deep breath. "After listening to the loyal speeches of Huranlang and Yujingzi, I feel that I, Jueying, am unworthy to participate in this election for office."
The group chat members were puzzled, "Why?"
Jueying said, word by word, "Because I betrayed the Imperial Emperor!"
