The Sun King's Evidence

For the emperor, sitting in the capital should have been his duty, but why did Karl-Franz feel like he was sitting on pins and needles sitting in this position.

He is very annoyed.

Judging from a series of intelligence from spymaster Amadeus, it should be easy to repulse the Chaos invasion this time. Two of the three armies have already approached the Oster Territory, and the Ostermark army has Although it is difficult to advance, it is more than enough to protect itself. It is estimated that in addition to the main force of 150,000 people, the Chaos army only has a Norscan army of about 10,000 people who are still plundering the Nordland. The Slaanesh Legion of Prince Sigvald in the Mountain Range was about 40,000 people, and the defeated troops of the Tzeentch Legion and the Nurgle Legion combined were only 50,000 or 60,000 people.

And here, the three support armies alone totaled more than 200,000. Together with a large number of saint realm experts and human elite leaders, plus the strength of Wolfenburg, they stopped the Chaos army. North of the Talabek River shouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, if the empire is fully mobilized, it will not be a big problem for this country with a population of more than 20 million to mobilize another 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Therefore, as Amadeus said, the entire war situation will change in a series of The war had begun to turn in favor of the Empire.

Although the defense battle of Von-Zhukov Castle suffered heavy losses, it seriously delayed the time of the Chaos army's attack and consumed a huge number of the opponent's troops.

Such a glorious result in the Battle of the Three Kings made Midden no longer have any worries about a full-scale march. Even Karl-Franz was certain that it would be difficult for the beasts and greenskins to leave the forest and plunder villages in the next ten years. The emperor has not yet taken over. After seeing the detailed military report and formation map of the Battle of the Three Kings, 76,000 men against the greenskins and 153,000 beastmen were able to achieve an epic victory with a battle loss of 7,500:86,000. After reading this, the emperor was not only happy but also unwilling to accept it.

In terms of military ability and personal bravery alone, although Karl Franz was very jealous of Ryan, he was indeed convinced.

The knight king's civil and military skills were so brilliant that the emperor was really glad that he had established a relationship with Ryan early. The empire and Britannia were in the most peaceful era in hundreds of years. The emperor could be sure that if it hadn't been for the signing of the military Alliance, Britannia will not send troops so easily this time. Even if it does, it will definitely be a gryphon. How can it only provide military pay and military supplies now? This saves the empire a lot of money!

As for the lifting of the siege of Bekafen, the emperor was relieved. The main Chaos army in the Oster Territory has actually fallen into a pocket formation. To the west is the coalition of Lane and Boris in Herzig, and to the south is the southern empire. The elite army of Ostermark is the human dwarf coalition in the east.

So the emperor can understand why the spymaster Amadeus is in high spirits because the situation of the war has improved.

But it was difficult for the emperor to open his brows and push away the dark clouds floating in his heart.

The reason is simple. For the spymaster, this game is all about intelligence.

For the financial controller, this time the issue is financial.

For Marshal Rick, this is a war settlement.

Only for Karl Franz, what the emperor had to consider was political accounts.

Karl Franz, who has shown extremely outstanding talents in domestic affairs, has many issues to consider. For example, in this fight against the Chaos invasion, he needs to consider whether the empire can withstand the torment and how much the imperial court headed by him can gain. Political interests and actual financial gains, how much authority of the emperor can be obtained and strengthened, how the war is fought, how many casualties there are, how to rebuild the army and replenish soldiers after the war, how to reward, how to rebuild and provide pensions, and how to resume production after the war is over. and protecting people's livelihood, these are things that the emperor must consider.

This is the difference between the monarch and the ministers. The ministers only need to consider the matters they are in charge of, while the emperor must consider overall factors, especially for a system like the empire. Without the emperor to coordinate, it will be difficult for the entire palace to operate.

Bureaucrats have great inertia and tend to work independently. Only the emperor can stimulate their vitality and strengthen their ability to take action. It is true that some imperial bureaucrats do serve the country and the people with their heart and soul, but The emperor knew that it was impossible to pin his hopes on the moral level of the bureaucrats. The common preference of the bureaucrats was stability above all else. Wouldn't it be nice to drink coffee every day and see how they get a salary? Isn't it uncomfortable to be promoted after enough years to get promoted without incident?

So many times Emperor Karl-Franz preferred to stay with his army, at least with the soldiers who supported him. The emperor did not need to think so much, he only needed to win victory for the empire.

However, the emperor is the emperor after all. After a brief trance, Karl-Franz had to continue thinking.

The northern part of the empire lost too many people in this invasion. According to incomplete statistics, at least two million imperial people and one million Mrs. Keesler have died tragically in this chaotic invasion. As a barrier to the northern part of the empire, Although Kislev did not officially declare national subjugation, it was not far behind. Osterland, Ostermark, and Nordland were all facing reconstruction. Coupled with the astonishing military expenditures, pensions, and food relief, the emperor could Imagine how much trouble we will face after this war is over.

What about the benefits? What about interests?

This is why Karl Franz is so anxious. When fighting Chaos, don't expect to make many captures. The key is to make a fortune in political influence and imperial authority, just like the savior Ludwig. Relying on this, centralization of power and the reconstruction of the empire were completed.

But what is the impression given by the current situation of the war?

Was it a major mistake by Tsarina Kislev and the defeat of Zedevka that led to the collapse of the country?

Was it the Silavik Group of Erengrad that stood firm for dozens of days, and with the help of Kalad's army, they finally won the victory of Erengrad that shocked the entire old world? The Norscan Mountain Legion was destroyed, and the Norscan High King Aislin was crowned?

Was it the Nordic territory that stood firm against the Norscan raids?

Was it the glorious battle of the three kings that broke the backbones of the greenskins and the beastmen? The knight King Lion killed one king and two kings. It shocked Dracovald and killed the greenskins to the point where they bowed their heads and the beastmen were filled with bile?

Is it that the Osterland has suffered repeated defeats and battles, and that the soldiers and people of the entire province still chose to defend Wolfenburg and wait for reinforcements after suffering tremendous suffering?

Or was the siege of Bekafen finally solved, and the Butcher King took great credit?

All.

So the question is, where is the emperor? Where are his troops?

Karl-Franz! Why are you just watching? Have you really betrayed me?

The emperor thought bitterly, didn't he want to send troops immediately? But it takes time to raise an army, and he is not Ryan. It takes just one sentence for Ryan to assemble an army, but for the emperor to assemble an army in addition to his own army, it requires a lot of games, politics, and interest exchanges. Even though the Kaiser has superb political skills, he also has great righteousness. Hands, it is not difficult to get an army from the nobles, but it also takes time.

That's why the emperor is anxious. If he doesn't rush to Osterland to fight the Chaos army, he won't even be able to gain any political capital. The imperial electors will definitely think that we defeated the Chaos army by ourselves and our allies, so we still need you. What is this emperor doing?

Speaking of which, Kislev's army retreating from Erengrad did not choose to go south to Ostermark to join Katalin, but chose to retreat to Kurona with the Brittanian fleet? The emperor picked up the second message.

Interestingly, this is Kislev’s last elite field force. The remaining wing cavalry, bear cavalry, and the Red Navy are all here. It seems that Katalin is losing control of the army, and this is why she made a public statement A letter asking this army to return to serve the king and asking the empire to speak out has been sent to the emperor's desk.

It's not my business? Solve your own problems by yourself and go to the Knight Kingdom on the other side of the mountain to negotiate! The emperor, who had a headache, thought subconsciously.

Karl-Franz put down the information. His attention should not be on this now.

Knight King Ryan, Lake God Witch Morgiana, and Regent Lawn have all come to the empire. His Queen Surya should be in charge now, right?

How would she handle it?

You must also find it very troublesome, right?

Unfortunately, Emperor Karl-Franz guessed it right.

As the Queen of Knights, Surya is indeed thinking about how to deal with this Kislev army.

Old World, Brittania capital Curona, royal palace, king's office.

In mid-February, the winter sunshine passed through the glazed windows, passed through the countless iris patterns and lake fairy patterns on the glass, and shone into the king's office. The floor was covered with thick carpets, and floor-to-ceiling magic The lights were turned on slightly, and the furnishings in the room were very luxurious. The walls were covered with paintings of various legendary stories of the Holy Grail Knights.

After Knight King Lane led his army on an expedition, his Queen Surya worked here.

There was a fireplace burning in the room, and the Queen of Knights was wearing a Brittanian court forged shirt and a pleated skirt of snow-melted fairy catkins. Her long platinum curly hair shone with dazzling light, shawl down her shoulders, and scattered in the air. , the queen showed off her proud body line without any care, with a pair of plump bulges standing high, a slender waistline, a perfect figure, as well as skin like gelatin and an exquisite face. After entering the Holy Realm, Sulia looked even more beautiful.

Of course, the most beautiful thing is her pair of gorgeous long legs with golden proportions and beautiful black silk feet. The small black silk feet are stepped on black suede gold-rimmed red-soled high heels. They are white and delicate, and the snow-white skin is curved. The arch of the foot is wrapped in transparent black Aurora ultra-thin stockings. One beautiful foot is raised under the table, the toe is hooked on the toe of the shoe and swaying gently. The five pink toes sometimes curl up in one place, sometimes gently Stretch out and bring out a hazy light and shadow.

The dark elf maid, Orika, Ryan's little cotton-padded jacket, stood not far behind the Knight Queen. Orika was still wearing a black and white lace maid outfit with white suspender stockings, and a white scarf tied on her head. The dark elf maid had tied up her waist-length black hair. She had been dealing with domestic affairs with Sulia in recent times. Her face was expressionless and she was paying attention to the situation nearby. She was pale. The staff of Queen Erth is placed in Orica's hand, and an artifact dagger is tied to the root of her thigh - a harbinger of sorrow.

In recent times, the two female knights and the dark elf maid, who are not quite compatible, have been maintaining a strange and peaceful relationship in Lane's backyard.

After reciting a spell, Olika glanced at Sulia who was correcting the document, and had many thoughts in her heart.

During this period of time, Sulia was handling the national affairs of the entire Knight Kingdom. Olika could see that Sulia, a woman, was actually a natural-born power animal. in it.

And since Ryan started letting his queen handle political affairs, Sulia has accumulated a lot of experience in this area. After Ryan set the big framework, what is left is considerable autonomy, and the queen can also very Understand Ryan's will well and maintain and implement his national policy.

But no matter what, Ryan and Lidya Su are still two people. After all, they have different ideas and understandings on some issues, and their perspectives are also different. They naturally handle government affairs differently.

Sometimes Olica would "kindly" remind Sulia what Ryan would do, and Sulia would evaluate it again based on Ryan's thoughts.

This is the system of large and small, and Sulia cannot ignore Olika's opinion because she represents Ryan.

Sulia also glanced at Olika. She thought for a while, took out a document and handed it to the dark elf: "Olica, take a look at this."

"What is this?" Orika took the document and found that it was stamped with Ryan's ring: "This is the content of Kislev's credentials sent by the master, um... the tsar asked us to rescue Kislev. The Slev Army immediately goes to the Empire to serve the King? She really has the nerve to ask for it."

"Where is our fleet now?" Sulia frowned slightly, and her toes wrapped in black stockings trembled slightly: "Olica, how do you think we should respond?"

"The Poseidon fleet is already in the outer sea." Orica thought for a while and said: "We have paid so much to rescue this army. It is impossible to send them to the empire in any case. The first one is Our interests will suffer huge losses. The second is that if this Kislev army goes to Qinwang, it will probably end in death. They will either die in the hands of Chaos or in the hands of their own people. No It’s worth it. There’s no benefit to us doing this. Who will dare to defect to the master in the future? Madam, we definitely can’t agree to the Tsarina’s request. The master must think so.”

"I know this too." Sulia nodded. Of course the female knight understood what her husband meant. Ryan was pushing the matter to Sulia's side. On the one hand, he did not come forward directly so that things could change. The leeway, on the other hand, is for Sulia and Orica to find a way. After all, Ryan now has to devote all his energy to the war with Chaos.

"Madam, actually the easiest way is to make the tsarina." Olika smiled, and the smile was very sweet. The dark elf maid made a cutting gesture with her hand knife, and she licked her lips: "What do you think, madam?" ? Simple, clear, and fast. I will do it myself. Even if the female czarina is very powerful and has a unique bloodline, I am at least 70% sure. Even if she fails, no one will know that I did it, and they will all think it was Sri Lanka. Cavan Assassin."

"The decision that Ryan will not pass will not be passed by me." Sulia looked at Olica calmly. She knew that this was just a bait thrown by the dark elf, a trap in words, and she would not take the bait. , the female knight thought for a while, and then said: "Olica, Druzi's politics cannot be forcibly applied to the human world. The politics of the human world are more like that of high elves. Everyone eats at the same table, which is blunt. Cutting meat with a knife, no one would directly solve a problem that can be solved by removing a plate..."

"Just flip the table? If you knock over the dog food bowl, no one can eat it?" Olica smiled even sweeter: "I understand, then maybe you have a better way? Madam, why don't you tell us and we can go over the details?"

This was the ball being kicked over again. Sulia smiled calmly and felt interesting in her heart. She could learn new things every day by getting along with the dark elves.

Putting down the quill in her hand, the queen couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. Fortunately, there was no rush for time. Ryan's move gave Sulia a lot of time to think. She gently put her silk feet into the black suede. She stood up in her gold-rimmed red-soled high-heeled shoes and said, "There's no rush in this matter, Orica. The time once a month has come. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, madam!" Orica's eyes lit up, and the dark elf nodded repeatedly, looking a little excited, which is rare for the dark elf who always smiles.

Thirty minutes later, in the secret room of the Kurona Palace.

A giant with a golden helmet and more than three meters tall was standing guard outside. There was silence in the secret room. Sulia took her son Devon Hill and Olika and stood in front of a huge Before the mirror.

The Knight Queen took her son Little Devonshire and the Dark Elf maid, and knelt down in front of the mirror.

"The Imperial Princess, the Queen of Knights, the Duchess of Mousillon, the Countess of Glamorgan, Surya Cumani-Aintry-Dwenford, and the Crown Prince Devonshire-Aintry-Makado, as well as……"

"Master's personal maid Olika Ha'ai Kelundia." The dark elf maid took the initiative to step forward.

"Kowtow to the Emperor Father!"

"Kowtow to Grandpa Huang~"

"Kowtow to my father!"

The figure of the Lord of Mankind appeared in the huge mirror, speaking to three people in the throne room of Holy Terra. The scenery in the mirror made the glorious and magnificent palace of Kurona look ridiculous.

And insignificant.

So rich, so luxurious, so solemn and sacred.

But everything pales in comparison to the face of the Lord of Humanity.

"Get up, sit down and talk." The voice of the Lord of Humanity sounded far away from the other side of the universe, and seemed to be lingering in the ears of the three people. There was nothing left in the room except humility and awe.

"yes."
