Chapter 801, The Era of Three Emperors Reappears?
When the fire happened, Aurora happened to be investigating in Brunswick with Teresa.
As the person in charge of SI7, Aurora certainly knows that Ryan entrusts herself and Teresa with important responsibilities. Although she always thinks that Ryan and herself are just a cooperative relationship, the sanctuary witch also knows that she should do something to express I didn't slack off during the Great Expedition, so as soon as the Winter Veil Festival was over, Aurora took Teresa to Brunswick and Nur again to investigate the imperial nobles' perceptions of Brittania and Ryan .
Because of Ryan's tiger skin, it is natural that Aurora and Teresa have received a very formal and grand reception in the empire. The sanctuary witch is very satisfied with this. After enjoying a higher level of treatment than before, Aurora really doesn't want to go back to the council anymore. She leans against the big tree of Ryan to enjoy the shade. Look at the great wizards of the empire, such as the Supreme Bright Master Kant, the Supreme Nebula Sorcerer Skohn, and the Dean of the Emerald Academy Anne-Louisa-Trenton, Greg Mattak, the Supreme Dean of the Amber Academy, or Elspeth, the President of the Amethyst Academy, Senus Gehrman, the Supreme Mage of the Flame Academy, or even the Royal Chief Wizard Balshazer-Gelt, they all expressed full courtesy to the mother and daughter and conducted a high-standard interview.
For Witch Jialan, this is a matter of face, and it can be boasted in the parliament for fifty years.
However, just when Aurora was about to leave Brunswick, the Battle of Disgrace broke out, and the entire empire was plunged into the cloud of civil war. Teresa originally suggested that Aurora leave this place of right and wrong immediately and return to the expedition. Lane reports.
But relatively speaking, Aurora, who is much more experienced, did not choose to go back immediately. She even stabilized her emotions and continued to stay in the center of the storm. After this incident broke out, she immediately sent a lot of people, and even went to Carronburg herself investigation.
She had to figure out which electors were on Boris' side, which electors were on Karl Franz's side, and which electors would remain neutral like Emmanuel.
In order to investigate this, Aurora delayed a lot of time, which directly caused her and Teresa to be late.
After talking about the ins and outs of the matter, Ryan and the others all frowned.
What is the empire doing?
How many years had it been since Tamu Khan's army was defeated outside Nur? After finally having a few years of recovery and development time, they immediately started fighting?
Have you forgotten the previous lesson?
Ryan's frown became tighter and tighter. A unified (at least in form) unified empire is undoubtedly stronger than a divided empire. If the empire cannot be united, then the end will be broken by chaos.
And once the Empire falls, Britannia must face the threat of Chaos.
Can Brittany face the threat of Chaos?
Don't be funny, from Ryan to the kingdom of knights, for hundreds of years, the greatest and most useful invention in Brittania was the trebuchet. If human beings are as stubborn and self-sufficient as Britannia , It’s all over long ago. In fact, after the two key time points of the Dole Tower attack and the Great Holy War, the Knight Kingdom’s lagging behind has become more and more obvious. Now it is only due to Ryan’s efforts that there is a tendency to catch up.
Now that the alliance that Ryan advocated to build has finally won some time to rest, what exactly do the people in the empire want to do?
These electors and nobles are a bit rotten, but the bottom is rotten.
The king's dissatisfaction obviously affected everyone in the room. Teresa looked at Ryan very worriedly, and Suria silently stayed with her husband. The reason for magic is relatively cold. Both Aurora and Teresa are dressed luxuriously today. Both mother and daughter are wearing Garland white bear velvet phantom black ice-coloured woolen coats, and the inside is a quiet and elegant granite vertical thread women's coat. The shirt is paired with the Garland Councilwoman's dark tea-color matte wrap hip skirt. The only difference is that Aurora wears black velvet transparent pantyhose and short boots with silver chains, while Teresa wears iron gray crystal chains. Pantyhose and high-heeled leather boots, four jade-like long legs dangled in front of Ryan.
This dress is almost the same as the clothes that the two sisters ordered from a tailor together, right? Teresa is wearing pantyhose today? Well, it's a good habit, I want her to keep it, Ryan secretly complained in his heart, but the king didn't think too much, he immediately turned his attention to the regent he appointed: "Is there any reaction from the empire?"
Lawn actually didn't like the king's handing over part of the intelligence department to the wizard, but the regent of the kingdom knew that he had no way to object, so he could only accept it. Putting the documents aside, he said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, I know you are anxious, but this is a matter for the imperial people. We are just allies with them. If there is no invitation from the other party, it is best for us not to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire."
"The two sides have deployed close to 100,000 heavy troops along the Riker River, and we can only sit back and watch the human civil war?" Ryan said impatiently: "What the hell is Karl Franz doing? This happens."
"Then we have to wait until we really fight." Lawn shook his head, and the regent of the kingdom emphasized: "Don't forget, Your Majesty, the empire has not even had a full-scale civil strife and war. We are so impatient that not only it is easy to intensify conflicts, but also It can easily become the trigger for a real war."
"That's what I mean too, Ryan, don't worry too much, things will turn around." Suria also agreed: "What we should do now is to grasp the situation and see what can be done at the same time, but don't Clear interference in the internal affairs of the Empire."
"Well." Ryan also knew that he was taking it for granted. Brittania's current degree of centralization is not comparable to that of the empire, not to mention that the fairy in the lake is completely standing behind him. Lanz had reserved support, and Karl Franz was not the only choice for the throne.
"Her Majesty Vikma has complained many times that Emperor Karl Franz spends too little time in the church, compared to his father and grandfather, he spends too much energy on court and war Already." Aurora added that the sanctuary witch and the head of SI7 took out a document and handed it to Ryan: "This is the current situation of the imperial electors standing in line. Obviously, the electors do not want civil war outbreak, but if civil war does break out, that's their most likely side."
There was a strong aroma on the document, which contained the fragrance of roses, the delicateness of jasmine, and a touch of vanilla. Ryan took the document.
According to the separate investigations conducted by Aurora and Teresa, it is certain that if a full-scale war breaks out, Hawkland and the Nord Kingdom will definitely side with Boris.
In contrast, Ostling and Aviling will definitely stand on Karl Franz's side.
The ones that will definitely choose to be neutral are the Wessen Land ruled by Emilia and the Talabek Land ruled by Helmut Feuerbach. Grand Duke Alberich Haut-Anderson of Steele is an unscrupulous guy, and he must stand on the side of whoever gives the most funding.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, as long as there is a war, the empire will definitely split into the northern faction headed by Boris, the western faction headed by Emperor Karl, and the eastern faction headed by Emilia.
Hey, hey, is it true that the era of the Three Emperors has reappeared?
Wolf Emperor Boris, Rick Emperor Karl Franz, Queen Nuer's little maid?
Ryan felt that his head was big when he thought about it, but he had nothing to do now, he was just the king of knights, not the emperor of the empire.
"I have met the Elector Boris, and he and his army are now in Kronborg." Just when everyone was at a loss, Aurora said calmly: "In my opinion, Your Excellency the Elector Boris, Doesn't seem to want to fight this war."
"Reason?" Ryan looked up. He knew that although Aurora had a somewhat arrogant personality, she did a good job in intelligence work.
"Intuition." Aurora stretched out her hand wrapped in white lace gloves and slightly straightened her gold-rimmed glasses, and said seriously: "I can feel the grief and indignation in the entire Kronborg, and the white wolf The pressure brought by the knights and the White Wolf Church to Boris the Elector, this battle, he didn't want to fight, but he had to fight, or he had to send troops, had to confront."
Aurora's point of view can be said to be to the point. After discussing with Suria, Lawn, Teresa and others, Ryan also felt that this is the truth. Boris has always had the title of "Urik's Love Servant" and is also the white wolf god. A staunch believer, to put it simply, he was also kidnapped.
"Your Majesty, I have an opinion." Teresa spoke at this time, and the sorceress seemed a little unfamiliar to the King of Knights, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She said somewhat unconfidently, "I think..."
"Come here, Teresa, come to me." Ryan knew why Teresa had this situation.
The old sorceress who was proud and a bit of a lady has changed. Teresa is still stuck at the peak of the legend and cannot make half a step forward, and her competitor Veronica is already a middle-level sanctuary. Ryan himself is even It is already a high-level sanctuary, and after returning from the Great Expedition of Bafeng Mountain, the somewhat dull female sorceress can feel that her status seems to be declining. Her confidence in facing Ryan is already quite insufficient, especially leaving her mother alone when trying to express your opinion.
But Ryan has no intention of alienating her. In the eyes of the King of Knights, Teresa is really cute. He always thinks that it is really rare for a sorceress to abandon everything under great pressure to find him. As for strength... I just He has been promoted to a high level in the sanctuary, and he is already exploring the new usage and functions of the spirit pattern. In Ryan's view, Teresa keeps her own place and has always been immersed in research and magic practice. She doesn't fight or want to make trouble. It's actually quite good to be raised by yourself, so you don't have to worry so much.
Afterwards, he will see if there is any other way for the sorceress to enter the sanctuary rank.
The fight between dragons and tigers in the backyard is certainly interesting, but Ryan occasionally wants to find a clean place. Seeing the sorceress after more than a year, Ryan suddenly found it very interesting. He said softly: "Teresa, I am not with You have said it many times, just call me Ryan, and, as my female courtier, you should sit next to me!"
Ryan's move represented a strong signal, and Aurora's eyes lit up, thinking that she would continue to urge Teresa to have a baby with Ryan as soon as possible.
"Yes." Teresa couldn't help the joy in her heart. She quickly left Aurora's side and sat next to Ryan. Queen Suria also smiled at the sorceress. His personality is a bit cold, but everything else is actually quite good.
Teresa moved a pair of long legs wrapped in iron-gray crystal pantyhose, and sat down beside Ryan. Ryan immediately smelled the faint scent of violets. After being encouraged by the King of Knights, the sorceress said seriously: "I think , Elector Boris chose to be stationed in the Elector's Palace in Kronborg, which is a clear hint that he does not want a full-scale war."
Kronborg? ! Yes, why didn't I think of it! Ryan's eyes froze, he was really confused in the meeting.
Kronborg has a very special status to the empire. Historically, this important castle has changed hands repeatedly between Middenland and Rickland. A trial was held, and finally the savior announced that Kronborg belonged to Midden Land as a matter of course in the geographical sense, but the nobles and troops in it were allowed to serve Reikland.
Therefore, the object of allegiance of the most elite swordsmanship in the old world, the Kronborg Greatswordsmanship, is Karl Franz.
Understood, after everything was cleared up, Ryan gave Teresa a look of approval, and he nodded: "Then, the situation is very clear."
"I will write to Emilia immediately, and ask her to mediate." Ryan continued: "Also, I will trouble Ms. Aurora and Teresa to continue to inquire about the situation of the empire."
"But... Ryan, my mother and I may have nothing to do." Speaking of this, Teresa said to Ryan with some embarrassment: "Don't forget, in March, the Grass Festival, the Garland Rally, my mother and I Veronica is required to attend."
"Oh, yes, Veronica and I mentioned this matter, and I forgot." Ryan suddenly realized that the king had too many things to deal with: "That's hard work, and I'll give you a month's rest Get ready for your holiday."
Things were arranged, Lawn left first, the army returned from the expedition, the regent of the kingdom still had a lot of things to deal with, and Suria entertained Aurora and Teresa to stay, but Aurora immediately said that she also had a lot to do. Although Teresa was a little bit reluctant about the matter, seeing her mother winking at her, she had no choice but to get up and leave after a long-lost reunion kiss with Ryan, and agreed that she would take the initiative to come to Ryan after dinner.
In the end, only the king and queen were left in the room, and nothing happened for the time being.
The moment the door closed, Ryan leaned towards his wife greedily: "Ma'am~"
"Lian! You are tired, you should take a good rest!" Suria was hugged by her husband, and her face turned red. The two have been married for many years. Of course she knows what Ryan wants to do, and the queen is looking forward to it. He said shyly again: "When you come back from the expedition, you should go to sleep for a while and talk about it after dinner at night."
"That won't work. Tonight, Devonhill will be back!" Ryan's hand has reached Suria's back, and the ribbon behind the queen's dress has been gently untied by the king. Ryan sniffs Suria's hair The fragrance in the silk, then picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the inside: "Let's rest together."
"You... haven't you been satisfied with Veronica and Olika?" Suria just struggled symbolically and leaned into Ryan's arms: "Also, you should go to Moji Anna go!"
"Suria!" Ryan embraced his wife, and the two of them fell down together on the big soft bed in the middle. The king reached into the queen's skirt, helped her take off her high heels and put them on the ground, and then embraced Suria. In the movie, Ryan kissed his wife, and then said with a wry smile: "My God, Ma'am, I really regret agreeing to her terms at the beginning. I don't even know how to repay Morgiana's debt."
"Pfft." Suria couldn't help laughing. The female knight blushed and said softly: "If you want to return hers, what about mine? Ryan, I am your queen. If you haven't returned the queen's, you will Are you considering other people? I will be angry if you do this!"
"Return! You can pay back everything! Pay back yours first!"
What else can the king say?
State affairs are difficult!
……… I am the dividing line with heavy debts………
Just when the King of Knights decided to write a letter to his little maid and ask her to mediate, the Queen of the Empire and her army had already arrived at Carronburg.
The time has come to test the unity and cohesion of the Empire.
