Chapter 963, Kowtow to Grandpa Emperor

Sitting in the capital should have been his duty for the emperor, but Karl Franz felt his ass was hot and pins and needles sitting in this position.

He is annoying.

Judging from a series of information from the spy chief Amadeus, it should be no problem to be able to repel the Chaos invasion this time. Two of the three armies have already approached the Ostland, and the Ostmark all the way Although it is difficult to march, self-protection is more than enough. It is estimated that in addition to the main force of 150,000 people in the Chaos army, only a Norscan army of about 10,000 people who are still looting around the Nordland is left. The Slaanesh army of Prince Siegwald in the mountains is about 40,000 people, and the total number of defeated soldiers of the Tzeentch army and the Nurgle army is only 50,000 to 60,000.

And here, the three support armies alone add up to more than 200,000 people, plus a large number of sanctuary powerhouses, human elite leaders, and the strength of Wolfenburg, the Chaos army is stopped. North of the Talabek River should be no 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 two to three million troops. Therefore, as Amadeus said, the entire battle situation is in a series of wars. , has begun to turn in the Empire's favor.

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

The glorious results of the Battle of the Three Kings made Middenland no longer have any worries about the full-scale march. Even Karl Franz can be sure that it will be difficult for the Beastmen and Greenskins to leave the forest to plunder villages in the next ten years. Looking at the detailed military reports and formation diagrams of the Battle of the Three Kings, 76,000 people fought against 153,000 Greenskins and Beastmen to achieve an epic victory of 7,500 damage.

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 literary and martial arts are so brilliant that the emperor is really glad that he has established a relationship with Ryan early. The empire and Brittania are in the most peaceful era in hundreds of years. The emperor can be sure that if it is not for the signing of the military Alliance, Brittania will not send troops so easily this time, even if it does, it will definitely be the griffin who will open his mouth. How can it only provide military salaries and supplies now? This saves the empire a ton of money!

As for the lifting of the siege of Beccafin, the emperor was relieved. Now the main army of Chaos in Ostland has actually fallen into a pocket formation. In the east is the allied army of Ostromak human dwarves.

So the emperor could understand why the spy chief Amadeus was in high spirits, because the situation in the war had improved.

But the emperor found it difficult to open his brows,

Push away the dark clouds floating in my heart.

The reason is simple, for the spymaster, this is intelligence.

For the treasurer, this game is about financial issues.

For Marshal Rick, this is a war account.

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

Karl Franz, who has shown excellent talent in internal affairs, has many issues to consider. For example, in this fight against the invasion of Chaos, he needs to consider whether the empire can withstand the toss, and how much political power the imperial court headed by him can earn. Benefits and actual financial gains, how much authority of the imperial emperor can be obtained and strengthened, how to fight battles, how many casualties, how to rebuild the army and replenish soldiers after the war, how to reward, how to rebuild and pension, how to resume production and Defending the 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 things they are in charge of, while the emperor must consider the overall factors, especially for the system of the empire. Without the coordination of the emperor, the entire court will be difficult to operate.

The bureaucrats have great inertia, and they all tend to sweep the door. Only the emperor can stimulate their vitality and strengthen their action, so that they can move. It is true that some imperial bureaucrats are indeed dedicated to the country and the people, but The emperor knew that it was impossible to pin his hopes on the moral level of the bureaucrats themselves. The common preference of the bureaucrats was that stability prevailed. Isn't it uncomfortable to be promoted without incident?

So in many cases, Emperor Karl Franz prefers to stay with his army, at least with the soldiers who support him. The emperor doesn't need to think so much, he just needs to win 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. Kisler died tragically in this chaotic invasion. As a barrier to the northern part of the empire, Although Kislev did not formally announce the subjugation of the country, it is not too far away. Ostland, Ostermark, and Nordland are all facing reconstruction. Coupled with horrific military expenditures, pensions and food relief, the emperor can Imagine how much trouble there will be after this war is over.

So what are the benefits? What about benefits?

That's why Karl Franz is so anxious, don't expect to capture much when fighting Chaos, the key is to make a fortune in political influence and imperial authority, just like the savior Ludwig Centralization and the rebuilding of the empire were accomplished through this.

But what is your impression of the war situation now?

Is it because the Czar Kislev made a major mistake and Zedevka's defeat led to the collapse of the country?

Is it the Erengrad's Silavik Group that has stood firm for dozens of days, and with the help of the Karad army, finally achieved the Erengrad victory that shocked the entire Old World? The Norsca Mountains Legion was annihilated, and the Norsca Supreme King Aislin gave the head?

Is the Nordland strong and stubborn against the Norscans' plunder?

It was the brilliant battle of the three kings, which broke the backs of the greenskins and the beasts. The knight king Ryan killed two kings, Megatron Drakovald, killing the greenskins with their heads bowed, and the beasts split?

Is it because Osterland has suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats, and the army and civilians of the entire province still choose to stick to Wolfenburg and wait for reinforcements after suffering great hardships?

Or was the siege of Bekafin finally untied, and the butcher king made a great contribution?

Sakura

So the question is, where is the emperor? Where is his army?

Karl Franz! Why are you just watching? Are you really betrayed?

The emperor thought bitterly, doesn't he want to send troops immediately? However, it takes time to gather the army, and he is not Ryan. It is a matter of one sentence for Ryan to assemble the army, and the emperor needs a lot of games, politics, and interest exchanges in addition to his own army. Hands, it is not difficult to get an army from the nobles, but it will take time.

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

Come on, Erlengrad withdrew Kislev's army and chose not to go south to join Ostermark and Katarin, but chose to withdraw to Krona with the Britannia fleet? The emperor picked up the next two pieces of information.

Interesting, this is Kislev's last field elite unit. The remaining hussars, bear cavalry, and red navy are all here. It seems that Katarin is losing control of the army, so she made a public statement A letter asking this army to go back to serve the king, and asking the empire to speak out together, has been sent to the emperor's desk.

It's not my business? Solve your own problems by yourself, go to the Knight Kingdom across the mountain to negotiate! The emperor with a headache thought subconsciously.

Karl Franz put down the intelligence, which should not be his focus now.

Knight King Ryan, Lake God Witch Morgiana, and Regent Lawn have all come to Lin Kingdom. Now his queen Suria should be in charge, right?

How would she handle it?

It must be troublesome too, right?

Unfortunately, Emperor Karl Franz guessed right.

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

The old world, the capital of Brittany, Courona, the royal palace, the king's office.

In mid-February, the winter sun passed through the glazed windows, passed through the countless patterns of irises on the glass and the patterns of fairies in the lake, and shone into the king's office. The lights were turned on slightly, and the furnishings in the room were very luxurious, and the walls were full of paintings of legendary stories of various Holy Grail knights.

After Knight King Ryan led an expedition, his queen Suria worked here.

There is a fireplace burning in the house, and the Queen of Knights is wearing a Britannia court forged floral shirt and a pleated tunic skirt with melted snow fairy fluff. Her long platinum curly hair is shining brightly, and the shawl falls down and falls in the air. In the movie, the queen showed her proud body line indifferently, with a group of plump bulges standing tall, slender waistline, perfect figure, creamy skin and delicate face. After entering the sanctuary, Surya looked even more beautiful.

Of course, the most beautiful is her pair of gorgeous long legs with the golden ratio and black silk beautiful feet. Stepping on the black suede gold-edged red-soled high-heeled shoes, the delicate black silk beautiful feet 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. A beautiful foot is tilted up under the table. Stretch out, bring out a hazy light and shadow.

The dark elf maid, Olika, Ryan's close-fitting padded jacket, stands not far behind the Queen of Knights. Olika is still wearing a black and white lace maid outfit with white suspenders and stockings, and a white turban is tied on her head. Her waist-length black hair is tied up. The dark elf maid has been dealing with internal affairs with Suria recently. Her face is expressionless, and she is paying attention to the surrounding situation. Pale Queen The Rod of Ess was placed in Olika's hand, and at the base of her thigh was a dagger, a divine weapon—an omen of sorrow.

In the recent period, the two strange female knights and the dark elf maid in Ryan's backyard have maintained a strange and peaceful relationship in this way.

After reciting a spell, Olika glanced at Surya who was correcting the paperwork, and a lot of thoughts came to her mind.

During this period of time, the state affairs of the entire Knight Kingdom were handled by Suria, and Olika saw that this woman, Suria, was actually a born animal of power. in its zheng

Moreover, since Ryan began to let his queen handle political affairs, Suria has accumulated very rich experience in this area. After Ryan has set the big framework, what is left is considerable autonomy, and the queen can also quickly Understand Ryan's will well, and maintain and implement his national policy.

But no matter what, Ryan and Suria are still two people after all. After all, they have different ideas and understandings on some issues, and they have different perspectives. Naturally, there are differences in handling government affairs.

Sometimes Olika will "friendly" remind Suria what Ryan will do, and Suria will re-evaluate Ryan's ideas.

This is the rule of thumb, and Suria can't ignore Olika's opinion because she represents Ryan.

Surya also glanced at Olika. After thinking about it, she took out a document and handed it to the dark elf: "Olika, take a look at this."

"What is this?" Olika took the document and found that Ryan's ring was stamped on it: "This is the content of Kislev's credential sent by the master, um... the Kislev who the Queen asked us to rescue The Slev army will go to the empire to serve the king immediately? She really has the face to ask for that."

"Where is our fleet now?" Su Liya frowned slightly, her toes wrapped in black silk trembled slightly: "Olika, how do you think we should respond?"

"The Poseidon fleet is already in the open sea." Olika thought for a while, and said: "We have paid so much to save this army, and it is impossible to send them to the empire anyway. The first one is Our interests will suffer huge losses. The second is that if this Kislev army goes to serve the king, I am afraid that it will end in ten deaths. They will either die in the hands of Chaos or die in the hands of their own people. It's worth it, there is no benefit for us to do so, so who would dare to defect to the master in the future? Madam, we must not agree to the request of the female tsarina, the master must think so."

"I know this too." Suria nodded. Of course, the female knight understood what her husband meant. Ryan was pushing the matter to Suria's side. On the one hand, he didn't come forward directly so that there was room for things to turn around. On the other hand, it is also for Suria and Olika to find a way. After all, Ryan now has to devote all his energy to the war with Chaos.

"Ma'am, the easiest way is actually to make the female czar." Olika smiled sweetly, and the dark elf maid made a gesture of cutting down with a hand knife, and she licked her lips: "What do you think, madam?" ? Simple, clear, fast, I will go there personally, even if she is strong and has a unique blood, I am at least 70% sure, even if it fails, no one will know that I did it, they will think it was Si Kaven Ratman Assassin."

"The decision that Ryan will not pass, will not pass with me." Suria looked at Olika calmly. She knew that this was just a bait thrown by the dark elf, a trap in the words, so she would not take the bait The female knight thought for a while, and then said: "Olika, Drucci's politics cannot be forcibly applied to the human world. The politics of the human world are more similar to those of the high elves. Everyone eats at the same table, which is blunt. No one will directly..."

"Just overturn the table? Overturn the dog food bowl, no one can eat it?" Olika smiled sweeter: "I understand, maybe you have a better way? Madam, why don't you come out, let's take a closer look?"

That's when the ball was kicked again, Surya smiled calmly, and felt interesting in her heart, getting along with the dark elves, she could learn new things every day.

Putting down the quill in her hand, the queen didn't think of a good solution for the time being. Fortunately, there was no rush. Ryan's hand gave Suria a lot of time to think. She gently put the silk feet into the black suede Standing up in gold-rimmed red-soled high-heeled shoes: "There is no rush for this matter, Olika, the time of once a month is here, do you want to come with me?"

"Of course, ma'am!" Olika's eyes lit up, and the dark elf nodded again and again, looking a little excited, which is rare for a dark elf who is always smiling.

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

A three-meter-tall giant in golden armor stood guard outside, and there was silence in the secret room. Surya pulled her son Devinhill and Olika, and stood in front of a huge mirror. Before.

The Queen of Knights knelt down in front of the mirror with her son Devonhill and the dark elf maid.

"Princess of the Empire, Queen of Knights, Duchess Musillon, Countess of Glamorgan, Suria-Kumani-Aintree-de-Winford, and Crown Prince Devonhill-Aintree-Macado, as well as……"

"My lord spares my personal maid Olika-Haai-Korendia." The dark elf maid took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Kowtow to the emperor!"

"Kowtow to Grandfather~"

"Kowtow to my lord father!"

The figure of the Lord of Humanity appeared in the huge mirror, and he spoke to the three people in the throne room of Holy Terra. The scenery in the mirror made the splendid and magnificent Krona Palace look ridiculous.

And trivial.

So rich, so luxurious, so majestic and blessed

But everything paled 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 on 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."
