The Sun King's Evidence

The Imperial Countess's doubts about the emperor are not unreasonable. From a certain perspective, Emmanolly's doubts are completely valid. As the Imperial Countess, she is qualified to do so.

Many people are interested in asking what is an empire?

Is it a unified feudal empire?

A confederal state that recognized the authority of the emperor?

In fact, none of them are correct. The Empire is essentially just a large alliance composed of a large group of kingdoms. Although the savior Ludwig dominated the Empire as a centralized emperor is not so far away in the past, Karl Franz did not save the world. the influence of the person.

Ludwig could force an imperial noble to commit suicide on the spot with an accountability order. Karl-Franz would basically be torn to pieces by the noble on the spot as long as he left Reikland with an accountability order.

After winning the Great Holy War, the Imperial Council of Electors convened in Wolfenburg, the capital of the Oster Territory, and passed fifteen votes unanimously, declaring the election of the savior Ludwig as the emperor of the new empire. After his re-division, The empire has ten provinces, which are ten elector territories, each of which is ruled by an elector with independent military and political power.

Although each province was theoretically an integral part of the empire, in reality they were independent states.

When Emmanolly's spy in Brunswick got the idea that the Emperor might have sought a large war loan from the Dwarf High King, the Imperial Lady certainly had the right to be angry about this. Yes, as the Imperial Emperor, Karl- Franz is certainly qualified to lend money to the Dwarf High King, and he also has such power.

But the core of the problem was that Karl-Franz was lending money in the name of the empire.

The emperor loaned the money in the name of the empire without making any announcement or sharing it. He secretly used it for himself. If he could repay it, that would be fine. What if he couldn't?

At that time, the dwarves, holding the documents stamped with the emperor's seal, can go to any place in the empire to find the electors to pay back the money!

Therefore, from Emmanuel's perspective, is it possible for Karl Franz to take out a loan? Yes, but it must be in the private name of his Franz family or the name of Rick's family.

So is it okay to use the name of the empire? Yes, but the money must be shared.

You can't let the emperor use the money and then the entire empire will repay it for him, right?

Not to mention, the emperor had done this kind of thing many times in history. Emmanoli was naturally aware of the recent financial difficulties of the imperial court, so when she saw the emperor hesitated, she immediately asked: "Karl! What should I tell you? You, if you do this in the name of the emperor, then don’t blame me for being rude! We have no obligation to pay off your debts. You sent Gelt to rebuild Solland. The Battle of Shame (the suburban fire that just happened) It was you who sent people to surround and surrender the weapons and equipment of the White Wolf Church. We all know the relationship between Archbishop Vicmar and you. Karl, you have to pay for what you have done yourself. Don’t involve me and Noor. !”

The Emperor's face turned red after being told by the Imperial Lady. He wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Archbishop Vicmar is his staunch supporter, and Charlemagne’s belief in humans and gods is deeply rooted in Brunswick and Reich. If the emperor dares to oppose the archbishop or say “Charlemagne is not a god”, he will abandon his basic beliefs. plate! He can't be emperor for a few more days.

The emperor seemed very embarrassed. He just felt that it was not okay to admit it, and it was not okay not to admit it.

However, as an excellent politician, Karl-Franz had a calm expression on his face. He remained calm and controlled his expression to show a little helplessness: "It's okay, Emmanuel, you must have done something wrong." Wrong, I have never borrowed money from the High King of Eternal Peak due to financial and financial difficulties.”

"Really?" Emmanuel looked at the emperor coldly: "But how did I hear that a group of dwarves from the Eternal Peak sent a batch of goods through Haimen Pass and Karak-Forged Iron Castle, and they are now in the next room. Leave it alone?"

When the Imperial Baroness said these words, her beautiful big eyes were full of doubts and warnings. After being the ruler of Nur for many years, she was no longer the cute little maid, or in other words, she could see The person on her softer side is not here, and Karl-Franz also feels a lot of pressure. Emmanuel is coercing him, this is political blackmail, and the Imperial Lady uses mediation as an excuse to ask the emperor to tell the truth.

What was very frustrating was that the emperor had nothing to do about it: "Okay, if you insist, I will take you to see it."

"Walfen!" the emperor shouted outside.

Count Walfen, a minister of Prince Reik's Grand Council, a minister of the imperial palace, and the emperor's spymaster. This is a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a rich and elegant coat, when he meets the emperor. The spymaster was a little surprised to actually call him at this time, but he controlled his emotions well: "Is there anything I can do for you? Your Majesty? And Your Majesty the Baroness?"

"Our Lady is very interested in the goods of the dwarf allies." The emperor stood up from behind the desk: "In this case, let us satisfy her curiosity."

"That's it. Your Excellency, please follow me." Count Walfen nodded immediately.

In the room next to the study, there is a row of crates. The crates are imprinted with the dwarf emblem of Eternal Peak and reinforced with runes. Emmanuel moves her long legs wrapped in crimson pantyhose. , walked up to the crate with some confusion: "So, what's in here?"

"It's a weapon." Karl Franz was helpless. He stretched out his hand and used the dwarf's special unpacking tool to open the crate: "Muskets, dwarf rune guns, fine goods, I ordered them from His Majesty the High King. Very good." Unfortunately, the payment for the goods can only be owed temporarily and is guaranteed by customs duties.”

"Musket." Emmanuel stretched out her little hand wrapped in black lace gloves. She gently reached out and pushed her long golden hair behind her ears. Then she pressed the fabric on her chest with her hand, bent down and reached out from the box. He took out a dwarf firecracker and said, "It's indeed a musket."

The dwarf's musket was very beautifully made, with a bright luster and strange patterns. As Nuer's mistress, the Imperial Baroness was naturally familiar with military industry. She took a few glances and put the musket back into the crate. Li: "To deal with Boris?"

"No, I just happened to catch up. The weapons are used to deal with the enemies of the empire, I promise." The emperor calmly put the musket back on: "Do you believe me now? This is just an order, I don't know Who told you this news, Emmanolly, but I know that the other person has no good intentions."

"Okay, maybe my information is wrong." The Imperial Lady backed down: "Okay, time is precious, let me take people to Kronburg to meet with Boris. Karl, you owe me a favor."

"..." The emperor frowned, but finally nodded: "Yes, I owe you a favor, but what happens next?"

"After what?" Emmanuel didn't understand what the emperor meant.

"After Kronburg, are you going directly to Britannia?" The emperor smiled: "You and Ryan haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

"Ah? Well...it's mainly because little Frederic has been clamoring to see his father." Emmanuel's attention turned to other places. Her face turned red and she put her hands on her hips: "Also, I have been waiting for a long time." I haven’t seen Sister Lidya Su anymore.”

"Then, I wish you a good holiday, and say hello to His Majesty Ryan and Queen Sulia for me." The emperor nodded, and the Imperial Lady withdrew without thinking too much. She was going to prepare to go Kronburg mediates relations between the Emperor and Elector Boris.

After Emmanuel led the Nur armored army to withdraw for a period of time, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He found that his back was already wet with sweat unknowingly: "Walfen, get these as soon as possible." Send the stuff to Mrs. Hawkswolf, and let Heilberg know about it.”

"Understood, Your Majesty." The spymaster also breathed a sigh of relief: "I will do it as soon as possible. Today is really a great day. Your Majesty, you once again helped the empire resolve the crisis through your wisdom."

"I can resolve it once, twice, or three times, but I cannot save and maintain the empire forever through this clever method." The emperor sighed softly: "Tell Hawkswall that this money must be used for The right place, of course, otherwise I would not be able to tell our oldest friends and all the Electors of the Empire that I would undoubtedly lie."

"Everything you have done is for the empire. I believe that Charlemagne and the savior Ludwig will definitely forgive you." Count Wolfen looked at the emperor with reverence and seriousness: "I almost for sure."

In the crate, the dwarf's musket was shining with silver.

After all, the Imperial Lady failed to notice that each of these dwarf muskets was made of pure silver.

This was Karl Franz's effort to get the empire through the difficult times. He put aside his dignity and personally wrote to the Dwarf High King Thorgrin, the Grudge-bearer, begging the dwarves to lend a helping hand to the empire's current predicament.

All the dwarf muskets in this row of crates are made of pure silver.

Yes, they were the first installment of the War Loan, and without the help of the High King, the Emperor's finances were on the verge of collapse.

Karl-Franz did his best for the sake of the Reich.

Now, one can only hope that Emmanolly's mediation has worked.

Otherwise, a civil war is inevitable.

The emperor often wished more than once that it would be great if all this could be solved on the battlefield. Compared with internal affairs, the emperor has reduced his public appearance time to the limit, and announced to the outside world his most important mission now. In order to maintain the stability of the empire and conduct war, he would not accept any personal meetings. Every day he was meeting with his cardinals to decide the future of the empire. But even so, nobles still flocked to request a meeting, hoping to To please the emperor, the internal affairs of the palace, the conflicts of the electors and the emperor's demands have made Karl Franz unable to do what he wanted.

Wrinkles gradually climbed up the emperor's originally handsome face, and traces of time began to appear on his forehead and corners of his eyes. Although he was only less than fifty years old this year, the emperor also had some gray hair on his temples.

The emperor prefers to be with his army than staying in the palace, but this is the emperor's responsibility. He can only stabilize the entire empire through his own strength.

He is willing to do anything for the empire.

.........I am the dividing line between Kahuang's best efforts......

Ryan would often wish more than once that it would be great if all this could be resolved on the battlefield.

Just today, the Chivalry Expeditionary Army finally arrived in Bordero.

Just outside the Mannann dry dock, the soldiers and civilians of Britannia were once again excited. Whether they were knights, nobles or serfs, they all celebrated the victory of the Eight Peaks Expedition. The streets and urban areas of Bordeaux Everywhere was crowded with people, people were celebrating, shouting, drinking dark beer imported from the empire, and shouting "Long live the lady" and "Long live His Majesty the King", it was like a carnival.

For Brittanians, Ryan's name is a guarantee of victory. With him here, Britannia will definitely win!

Now under the reform, life is getting better and better. Regardless of the knights and nobles, the serfs are happy to celebrate such a great victory as a festival. Now newspapers have begun to appear in Bordeaux, and every tabloid is publishing in various ways. This attractive title reports the glorious deeds of the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains. The serfs talked about this topic, especially the Old Guards, which was the focus of their debate and envy. The space for class advancement has been opened. Next, Which old guardsmen can be promoted to knights?

People were singing and dancing, and the knights were not idle either. Queen Surya and her son Devon Hill, Lake God Witch Morgiana and Kingdom Regent Lawn-Leo Cornwall had already led a team of Holy Grail guards to guard the pier. Waiting above to welcome the king's victorious return, all the dukes in the entire kingdom, except Francois and Hubald, Duke of Carcassonne, who participated in the expedition, were all present!

On the one hand, they praised the lady, praised the Lake Fairy for protecting the knights and His Majesty the King for his great achievements in this great expedition. On the other hand, the dukes were also excited about being about to participate in sharing the wealth. Although they only said a few words, they Just looking at the deep waterline of the Poseidon Fleet, you can tell how rich the harvest of this great expedition is.

As the Landuin docked, cheers sounded from all sides of the dock. The sound was non-stop and stretched for thousands of meters. Human beings crowded together, wanting to see the elegance of the expeditionary army. Boderick, Duke of Bordeleaux A large number of troops had to be sent out to patrol and maintain order.

And with the appearance of King Ryan, the cheers reached its peak.

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

"Praise the lady, thank you lady for giving us such a great victory!"

"Long live the expeditionary force!"

"Long live Brittania! Thank you, madam, for giving us the great man Lion Malcador from heaven!"

The roars of the citizens and nobles shook the earth, the sea water churned, and even echoed in the subspace.

But amidst the roar, a childish voice was still clearly audible. A little guy wearing a silk robe and a small leather jacket ran all the way and rushed towards his father: "Dad~Dad!"

It was little Devon Hill. Ryan saw his son after more than a year. He was a little excited and a little tearful. He reached out and picked up his son and kissed him on his face which was red from the cold. : "Devon Hill, were you good when daddy was away?"

"Yes! Devon Hill is very well-behaved!" The little guy had not seen his father for a long time, and he burst into tears with excitement: "Uncle Angron is also very well-behaved!"

"Hahahahaha~" Ryan laughed loudly after hearing this. He had already seen Angron standing far away, wearing a large straw hat on his head and laughing.

"You're back, Ryan." Sulia, wearing a full queen's dress and a queen's crown, also walked up with a smile.

"Yes, I'm back, madam." Ryan and Sulia hugged gently: "This victory not only belongs to me, but also to you."

Lidya Su was a little overwhelmed. The queen had been separated from her husband for a long time, and wanted to say a few words of respect, but now was not the time. She hugged her husband, then stood next to Ryan, and took the initiative to joke with Veronica. : "Thank you so much for this expedition, Veronica."

Veronica rolled her eyes, she immediately bent down, bowed to Lidya Su very humbly and even a little flatteringly, and then said with a smile: "This is all thanks to sister Lidya Su. We can't get it this time." There are few good things. When things are arranged, please let me take you to see them. Just pick whatever you like."

Sulia nodded slightly after listening to Veronica's words. The queen thought that Ryan's chief female courtier was indeed smart and knew how to measure, which was good.

Soon, it was Morgiana's turn. The Lake God Witch dressed up and stepped forward under the protection of the Holy Grail guards. There was deep resentment and a touch of joy in her green eyes: "The lady has blessed you, Our King, this victory not only belongs to the expeditionary army, but also to the whole of Brittania and all the lady believers, for the lady!"

"For the lady!!!" People shouted and reveled at the top of their lungs. This was the biggest victory since the Chiyan Crusade hundreds of years ago, and they had reason to celebrate.

"I'm back, Morgiana." Ryan also hugged the Lake God Witch gently. Morgiana didn't refuse. As soon as she smelled Ryan's unique faint fragrance, she felt her whole body go weak and almost lost her balance.

After a gentle hug, Morgiana stretched out her fingers and gently wrote a number on Ryan's palm.

"63."

The expression on Ryan's face changed slightly. Looking at Morgiana's beautiful face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her eyes that seemed to be talking, Ryan suddenly had the urge to turn around and run away, going back to continue fighting against the greenskins and rat-men.

Morgiana’s obvious hint:

Play the ancient battlefield tonight.

The abyss settles tonight.
