If anyone still remembers, the Rick Guard in front of him was a Rick Guard recruit when Ryan visited Brittany for the first time, and was ordered to **** Ryan when he left. Rudolph lived up to his mission, In the battle of the plague in Mgaat, he and Wagner, another Rickguard recruit, successfully assembled the remaining forces, and even defeated the Skaven in the battle of the Church of Justice. The unanimous praise of the imperial team. Crazy Sand Literature Network

After the Battle of Helmgart, Rudolf and Wagner took different paths. Rudolf stayed and became the captain of the Empire, while Wagner chose to go to Nur after Emmanuelle, and went to Emmanuelle. Allegiance, and also became an officer who also served as a master engineer.

After only four or five years of enlistment in the army, these two Rick Guard recruits have been promoted as fast as rockets, making many imperial soldiers envious and jealous, but the fact is that they are the children of the great nobles. A great shortcut, and what is even worse is that these two great noble children not only have the natural advantage of family and share, but they are also very capable, whether it is martial arts or commander-in-chief, good family education and military training that is willing to spend their money since childhood. Right from the beginning, after all, since the reform of the military merits of the savior Ludwig, the nobles of the empire are the most important military merits. At the banquet, a group of nobles who have never fought in battle will be despised and made fun of.

It's getting harder and harder for civilian officers to get ahead.

Obien Island is an island that is always shrouded in mist. It is located in the west of Norsca, across the sea from Nord Kingdom and Norsca, and is not very far from the Duchy of Connet in Brittany. There are some aboriginal inhabitants on it, these inhabitants are called the mantras, they are not the human inhabitants of the old world, but were banished from Lustia by the old saints, they know how to use some superficial magic, because Obiang The island is always shrouded in fog, which makes the people of the old world think that the island has the relics and heritage of the ancient saints. The royal chief wizard Senus 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 Great Wizard.

Therefore, Archbishop Vicma didn't think much about it. In principle, the church would not interfere in the emperor's internal affairs, but Vicma didn't intend to leave. He just sat on the sofa, staring at the emperor about five meters away, without saying a word. language.

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

"Your Excellency Gehrman led the army and almost lost its way in the fog." Rudolph moved his body slightly to the side, so that the strong and sturdy he blocked the vision between Vekma and Emperor Karl: " After a few losses, Lord Gehrman managed to establish a port camp and named it 'Newland'."

"Oh, that's right." The emperor nodded unhurriedly, and he pushed the parchment forward: "Let's talk about what Gehrman found?"

"There are some relics of the ancient saints on the island, and some organs of the ancient saints." Rudolph gently picked up the quill and wrote on the parchment: "But because of the language barrier, the strange hieroglyphs cannot be deciphered and understood. Naturally, it is impossible to open the mechanism left by the ancient sage."

Rikwei 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 said in a muffled voice.

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

"No one knows, these natives seem to completely distrust anything with two feet. Their magic is not particularly powerful, but they are very good at transforming into birds and fighting in the fog. Lord Gehrman is in trouble, only I can return without success for a while." Rudolph spoke every word, quite slowly, which seemed to be inconsistent with his usual style.

When he had finished speaking, Rudolph calmly put the quill back into the ink bottle, and sent the parchment forward.

The emperor stretched out his hand to take it. He calmly glanced at Archbishop Vicma sitting on the sofa chair, and found that the sight of the archbishop was blocked by Rudolf, so he looked down at the parchment.

"The scouts are here to report! The Supreme Dean of Bright Academy, Otto, has assembled a huge mercenary force and is stationed in the Blood Pine Forest! And there are many battle priests and paladins in the army! Does this matter have anything to do with the upcoming Royal Conference? Wizarding matches?"

Karl Franz's hand trembled slightly, the emperor's eyes were sharp like a sword, but he could close it as soon as he let it go, he nodded, and then said warmly: "I see, open up the frontier for the empire and explore Obian Island. , hard work Gehrman."

The emperor picked up the quill naturally and made a big "√" on the parchment.

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

"It will probably take a few more days." Rudolph saw the Emperor's tick and knew it.

"So, what does Gehrman ask for, or what do the soldiers think?" The emperor quietly pushed the ink bottle and parchment again in front of Rudolph.

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

Archbishop Vikma, who was sitting in the distance, heard something strange. Emperor Karl Franz has always handled internal affairs resolutely and decisively. Why is he hesitating and procrastinating in handling affairs today, and he has to repeatedly ask his subordinates for their opinions?

But it is an unwritten rule that the church does not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire. The emperor did not consult him, and Vicma could only wait. He simply closed his eyes and rested.

Rudolph continued without stopping, and soon another piece of parchment was placed in front of the emperor.

The emperor took it, he glanced at Archbishop Vicma again, saw him closing his eyes and resting, frowning, and immediately read the content on the parchment.

"Otto has the strong support of the Church of Justice. This army has thousands of people. Should we let Marshal Heilberg lead the Brunswick army to immediately surround and control this army? And arrest Otto. catch?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although the natives of Obiang know how to cast spells, they have not received any signs of chaos corruption. Although he has some troops, he is not an elite division and cannot be threatened. our."

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

"But will this make them feel that our empire is too weak to be bullied?" Rudolph was a little anxious, and Rick Guard asked: "If you leave it alone like this, it will damage our empire and your prestige, Your Majesty the Emperor."

"The empire is not mine alone, it is the empire of all the people of the empire." The emperor looked up at the archbishop who was closing his eyes, raised his chin at Rudolph, nodded and smiled: "Now is the time for the upcoming royal grand meeting. During the critical period of the wizarding game, don’t call up the army and send troops without authorization, if Gehrman really needs it, he will come to me on his own initiative.”

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

"This matter really cannot be relaxed." Karl Franz nodded solemnly: "Go and tell Heilberg that he will be responsible for this matter."

"Then... can I say that it was under His Majesty's order?" Rudolph demanded.

"Okay." The emperor nodded, he thought about it, and added: "By the way, I also sent a message to Geert, saying that the new type of gunpowder he studied has been gradually equipped, let him pay attention, and let the soldiers if necessary. They listened to his instructions on how to use the gunpowder."

"Understood." Rudolph put away the two parchments and held them in his palms. He took a few steps back in place, bowed, and then turned away. Before leaving, he nodded and smiled at Archbishop Vecma, which was considered a fight. call.

Archbishop Vikma nodded, seeing that Rudolph was gone, the Archbishop did not intend to stay, and he stood up: "Karl, you are busy with everything, and I will stay soon, about whether to appoint Otto as the new royal chief. Great wizard, think about it again."

"I will, Your Majesty Wekma." Emperor Karl Franz's face immediately changed to the same hearty smile as always: "Let me send you off."

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

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

He knew why the Church of Justice supported Otto, even sending out Paladins and Battle Priests to help him, and helping him assemble an army.

This starts with the "Dark Lord" Egrim incident. It was in that incident that Otto and Kant discovered Egrim's depravity. At that time, Otto and Kant, the two light wizards, made a decision after discussing The decision, that is, violates the guidelines of the Royal Academy of Wizards and seeks support from the Church of Justice.

In the end, Egrim was driven away, and half of the wizards of the Academy of Light were purged by Vikma. Naturally, the relationship between the new Academy of Light and the Church of Justice reached its peak, and Archbishop Vikma began to try to extend the hand of the church into the empire. Within the realm of wizards, it's no surprise that he's firmly supporting Otto this time around.

Today's situation makes the emperor feel extremely humiliated. In his palace, in his study, and in front of his desk, he and his Rickguard actually have to communicate in that way.

It's really embarrassing to be the emperor of this empire!

But Karl Franz is helpless here.

As we all know, the emperor of the empire is elected by the electors. The original intention of the elector system is to ensure that the empire is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and under the internal and external troubles, an emperor who can convince everyone and can be good at recruiting can ensure the security of the country.

But with the passage of time, the system of the electors has changed. In order to get enough votes, the candidates for the throne have to make 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 has just become "indebted". In the two thousand years, the authority of the emperor has been weakening, and Karl Franz can actually control the province of Rick that he owns. , still ruled under the title of Grand Prince Rick.

That's how the old empire died, and the new empire after Ludwig's military reforms strengthened the emperor's authority and control over the military nobles. 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 the pain, 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 confederation~www.wuxiamtl.com~ As for whether or not to recognize the supreme authority of the emperor, it depends on whether the elector needs and is good-hearted. , After ascending the throne, Emperor Carl relied on a series of great military victories and diplomacy to reluctantly strengthen the authority of some emperors.

Therefore, the Justice Church cannot be overly offended. Archbishop Vikma persuaded the Archbishops of Aglima and Karl Franz of the other two churches when Karl Franz and Boris Todbringer were at a disadvantage when they were competing for the throne. Archbishop Slane dropped three votes to complete the Jedi reversal, even one less vote.

In return, Karl Franz must of course have great respect for Archbishop Wikma, and he has to make concessions on many things. He is the creditor and he is the debtor.

"Hey~" The emperor sighed, leaning on the soft sofa chair, remembering his meeting with Ryan the other day.

Instead, he envied Ryan. Ryan was the Holy Grail Great Knight, with superior strength and unparalleled personal prestige. More importantly, Ryan could also get the full support of the Church of the Fairy in the Lake.

How on earth did he do it? Karl Franz was deeply puzzled by Ryan's sudden rise. Ten years ago, Ryan was in Marienburg as an ordinary kingdom knight for the Winter Veil Festival. Ten years later, he will be king soon! The nobles, merchants, and churches of the entire kingdom have obeyed.

And what he can trust is still only the Imperial Team, and it is limited to the Imperial Team led by Rick, plus one Geert at most.

Hard to be king!

Karl Franz rolled his eyes and shouted to the outside: "Someone!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what are your orders?" A valet immediately ran in.

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

"Yes!"
