If anyone still remembers, the Rickweis in front of him was the one who became Rickweis' recruit when Ryan first visited Brittany, and then he was ordered to **** Ryan when he left. Rudolph fulfilled his mission. In the battle of the plague in Mgat, he successfully assembled the remaining forces with another recruit, Wagner, Rick Guard, and repelled the Skaven in the Battle of the Church of Justice. The unanimous praise of the Emperor ** team. Kuangsha Literature Network

After the Battle of Hemgart, Rudolf and Wagner took different paths. Rudolf stayed and became the captain of the empire, while Wagner chose to go to Noor after Emmanuel appeared and told Emmanuel. Allegiance, also became an officer who also served as a master of engineering.

Only four or five years after enlisting in the army, the promotion speed of these two Rickweis recruits is almost like a rocket, which makes many Imperial soldiers envy and hate, but this is the fact. A big shortcut, and what’s more terrible is that the children of these two great nobles not only have the natural advantage of family and share, but they are also very capable, whether they are brave or commander, good family education and military training that can afford the capital. From the beginning, after all, after the military reforms of the savior Ludwig, the nobles of the empire are the most important military merits. At the banquet, aristocrats who have not been in battle before will be despised and laughed at.

It is becoming more and more difficult for civilian officers to get ahead.

Orbion Island is an island that is always shrouded in mist. It is located in the west of Norsca, across the sea from the Kingdom of Nord and Norsca. It is not very far away from the Duchy of Connet in Brittania. There are some aboriginal inhabitants on the board. These inhabitants are called mantras. They are not human inhabitants of the old world, but were exiled by the ancient sage from Ruscia. They know how to use some superficial magic. The island is always shrouded in fog, making the humans of the old world think that the island has the remains and heritage of the ancient sage. The royal chief wizard Cernus Gehrman led an imperial infantry regiment to explore some time ago, forget it. It's time to come back soon, unless he doesn't want to compete for the position of the royal chief wizard.

Therefore, Archbishop Vekema did not think too much. In principle, the church would not interfere in the emperor’s internal affairs, but Vekema did not intend to leave. He just sat on the sofa and stared at the emperor about five meters away without sending a message. language.

The ink bottle and the quill in the bottle were pushed in front of Rudolph. The emperor grinned. He sat on the chair and said in a relaxed tone: "Does Gehrman gain anything?"

"Your Excellency Gehrman led the army almost lost its way in the fog." Rudolf moved his body slightly to the side, so that the strong and strong he blocked the vision between Vekema and Emperor Karl: " After a slight loss, His Excellency Gehrman successfully established a port camp and named it'Newland'."

"Oh, that's the case." The emperor nodded in no hurry, and pushed the parchment forward: "First, let's talk about what Gehrman found?"

"There are some ancient sage relics on the island, and some ancient sacred institutions." Rudolph gently picked up a quill and wrote on the parchment: "However, due to language barriers, weird hieroglyphs cannot be deciphered and understood. Naturally, it is impossible to open the organs left by the ancient sage."

Rickweil clenched the quill and wrote on it very quickly. Emperor Karl-Franz knew it, and the emperor continued: "That is to say, there is nothing to gain? What about the local natives? Can we communicate? "

"There is no way to communicate," Rudolph muttered.

"No one knows their language?" The emperor smiled weirdly.

"No one knows. These indigenous people seem to completely distrust anything with two legs. Their magic is not particularly powerful, but they are very good at transforming into birds and fighting in the mist. Your Excellency Gehrman is in trouble. I can return temporarily without success." Rudolph said, speaking slowly, and seemed to be inconsistent with his usual style.

When the words were over, Rudolph calmly put the quill back into the ink bottle, and then sent the parchment paper forward.

The emperor reached out and took it. He silently glanced at Archbishop Vekema who was sitting on the sofa, and found that the archbishop's sight had been blocked by Rudolph, and he looked down at the parchment.

"The scout is here! The Supreme Dean of the Bright Academy, Odor, has assembled a huge mercenary army and is stationed in the blood pine forest! And there are many fighting priests and paladins in the army! Does this matter match the upcoming Royal Grandmaster? What about the Wizarding Tournament?"

Karl-Franz's hand shook slightly, and the emperor's eyes were as sharp as a sword, but he let it go. He nodded, and then said softly: "I see, open the frontiers of the empire and explore the island of Orbion. , Gehrman has worked hard."

The emperor moved naturally to pick up the quill and hit a big "√" on the parchment.

"How long will it take for the Supreme Dean of our Flame Academy and his men to arrive?" The emperor returned the parchment to Rudolph.

"It will probably take a few days." Rudolf knew the emperor's tick.

"So, what does Gehrman require, or what do the soldiers think?" The emperor gently pushed the ink bottle and parchment to Rudolf's face in a calm manner.

"Your Majesty, the generals of the empire and Marshal Heilberg feel that this is a threat, and we should send our imperial army to annihilate it." Rudolf immediately said righteously: "Otherwise, they will bring us trouble sooner or later. !"

Archbishop Vekmar sitting in the distance heard it a little strange. Emperor Karl-Franz has always been vigorous and assertive in handling internal affairs. Why is he hesitating and procrastinating in handling affairs today, and he has to repeatedly ask his subordinates for their opinions?

However, it was an unwritten rule for the church not to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire. The emperor did not consult him, and Vekma could only wait. He simply closed his eyes and calmed down.

Rudolph said again, his hands did not stop, and soon another piece of parchment was placed in front of the emperor.

The emperor took it, and he glanced at Archbishop Vekmar again, and saw that he closed his eyes and frowned, and immediately looked at the content on the parchment.

"Otto has received strong support from the Church of Justice. There are thousands of people in this army. Should we ask Marshal Heilberg to immediately lead the Brunswick army to immediately encircle and control this army? catch?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and he slowly said: "Although the natives of Orbien know how to cast spells, they have not received signs of chaos and corruption. Although he has some armies, he is not considered an elite division and is not a threat. our."

After speaking, the emperor lightly hit an "x" on the parchment, and then shook his head.

"But does this make them feel that our empire is too weak to be deceived?" Rudolph was a little anxious, and Rick Wei asked: "If you leave it alone, it will damage my empire and your prestige, the emperor."

"The empire is not my empire alone, but the empire of all empires." The emperor looked up at the archbishop who was closing his eyes and rested. He raised his chin towards Rudolph, nodded and smiled: "Now it is the upcoming royal chief. During the critical period of the Wizarding Tournament, don’t call up the army and send troops without authorization. If Gehrman really needs it, he will take the initiative to come to me."

"Understood." Rudolph nodded silently. He thought for a moment, and then said: "The law and order in Brunswick is not very good due to the Royal Chief Wizard recently. Are we mobilizing more troops to maintain law and order? "

"This matter really can't be relaxed." Karl Franz nodded solemnly: "You go and tell Heilberg that he will be responsible for this matter."

"Then... can I say that it was ordered by your majesty?" Rudolf asked.

"Yes." The emperor nodded, he thought for a moment, and added: "Yes, I also sent a message to Gelt, saying that the new gunpowder he studied has been gradually equipped, let him pay attention, and let the soldiers if necessary. Let’s listen to his instructions on how to use these gunpowder."

"Understood." Rudolph put the two pieces of parchment away and held it in the palm of his hand. He stepped back on the spot, bowed, and then turned away. Before going out, he nodded and smiled at Archbishop Vicma, which was a hit. call.

Archbishop Vekmar nodded, and when Rudolf was gone, the archbishop did not intend to stay. He stood up: "Carl, you are busy with everything, and I will stay soon. Regarding whether to appoint Otto as the new chief royal Great wizard, you can think about it again."

"I will, Victor crowned." Emperor Karl-Franz's face immediately changed to a hearty smile as always: "Let me send it to you."

"No, no, no." Vicma waved his hand and signaled that the emperor didn't need to send it. He turned around and hurriedly left the study.

Karl Franz smiled and sat back in the chair. He looked around, the watch on his face gradually sinking.

He knew why the Church of Justice would support Otto, and even sent paladins and battle priests to help him, and helped him assemble an army.

This starts with the "Dark Lord" Egrim incident. It was in that incident that Odor and Kant discovered Egrim’s fall. At that time, Otto and Kant, two light wizards, made a discussion. The decision is to violate the guidelines of the Royal Wizarding Academy and seek support from the Church of Justice.

Finally, Egrim was beaten away, and half of the wizards of the Bright Academy were cleansed by Vekma. Naturally, the relationship between the newly born Bright College and the Church of Justice reached its peak, and Archbishop Vekma began to try to extend the church's hand into the empire. Within the realm of the wizard, it is not surprising that he will firmly support Otto this time.

This situation today made the emperor extremely humiliated. In his palace, in his study, in front of his desk, he and his Rickweis actually had to communicate in that way.

The emperor himself is really aggrieved!

But this is where Karl Franz can do nothing.

As we all know, the imperial emperor is elected by the electors. The original intention of the electoral system is to ensure that the empire can meet the enemy on all sides, internal and external troubles, and an emperor who can convince everyone and can guarantee homeland security.

But over time, the electoral system has changed. In order to get enough votes, candidates for the throne have to offer a lot of promises and prices to the electors to ensure that they can vote for themselves. This has led to many times when the emperor was already "heavy in debt" as soon as he took the throne. In the two thousand years, the authority of the imperial emperor has been constantly weakening. What Karl-Franz can actually manage is the province of Rick that he owns. , Still ruled under the title of Prince Rick.

The old empire died in this way, and the new empire after the reform of Ludwig’s military service strengthened the emperor’s authority and control over the military aristocracy. During his reign, Ludwig’s will prevailed throughout the empire, but he did not Change the electoral system, so when Ludwig abdicated, the electors healed their scars and forgot to hurt, and the emperor began to face the problems of canvassing, promises and bribery, which weakened the emperor’s authority.

Many people think that the empire is centralized, but in fact it is not at all. The empire is just a loose confederate country. As for whether or not to recognize the emperor’s supreme authority, it depends on whether the elector needs and is in good shape. After he ascended the throne, Karl The emperor relied on a series of great military victories and diplomatic skills to barely strengthen the authority of some emperors.

Therefore, the Justice Church must not offend him excessively. Archbishop Vekmar was at a disadvantage when Karl Franz and Boris Toddbringer were at a disadvantage in the competition for the throne. Archbishop Slane dropped three votes to complete the Jedi Reversal, and one less vote will not work.

In return, of course Karl-Franz must respect Archbishop Vekmar very much, and he has to make concessions on many things. He is the creditor, and he is the debtor.

"Hey~" The emperor sighed. He leaned on the soft sofa and remembered the meeting with Ryan the other day.

On the contrary, he envied Ryan. Ryan was a holy grail knight with superior strength and unparalleled personal prestige. More importantly, Ryan was able to get the full support of the Fairy Church in the Lake.

How did he do it? Karl-Franz has a lot of incomprehension about Ryan's sudden rise in his heart. Ryan was still in Marienburg for the Winter Veil Festival as an ordinary knight of the kingdom ten years ago. Ten years later, he will soon become a king! The nobles, merchants, and churches of the entire kingdom have obeyed.

And the only one I can trust is the Di ** team, which is limited to the Di ** team led by Rick, plus one Gelt at most.

It's hard to be an emperor!

Karl-Franz rolled his eyes, and he shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what's your order?" Immediately, a close attendant ran in from outside.

"Call Shanghai Renna and the children!" Karl Franz waved his hand: "Let's go to the Royal Hotel to find Duke Lane! Let the children meet and make friends!"

"Yes!"
