Medieval Empire Soldier Chapter 133

It took the electors less than a day to discuss the post-war reconstruction, and about the post-war awards, the compensation of the victims, and the change in their influence, the top powers discussed it for seven days until the White Wolf elected the emperor. After Hou Dian openly expressed his annoyance at the successive meetings, all parties discussed it before arriving at a result that everyone was satisfied with.

   And these seven or eight days have become the most special time that Lailen has spent since arriving in the capital of the empire, Altdorf City. The knights of the kingdom did not care about the inconclusive war against the northern invaders.

This is the fact. Laylen has a prominent military exploits and is a knight of the honorary kingdom of Midden. The knighthood is inevitable. The only thing he cares about is knighthood. Accompanied by Adrian Gentry and several dignitaries, he Feeling that time flies so fast, several people have visited the entire city of Altdorf, the Great Observatory, the Cathedral of Justice, Rick's Guard Castle, Griffin Cliff, and the Royal Zoo of Altdorf, which is very popular among nobles. In the autumn wind, life after the war seemed leisurely.

   Meanwhile, the Altdorf Palace, the Throne Room.

   In the bright atmosphere, a small amount of light from the glazed windows shone into the hall, and many magic lamps were shining brightly.

Emperor Karl Franz, who was in his prime, sat behind a high wooden table full of books and rare treasures. Dozens of marble statues of imperial heroes were placed around the throne room. , the emperor hung a large map, a map of the ten provinces of the empire.

On the exquisite map in High Gothic language and special drawing method, the lower right corner of the Sylvania province near the Roof of the World, which surrounds a large black forest, is obscured by a portrait of a griffin, although it is reluctant to admit it, But the Empire has lost this province, a miserable province occupied by black magic, necromancers, midnight dignitaries, the vampire wars that ended four hundred years ago, the lords of Sylvania, the blood of Castane The First Patriarch Vlad von Carstein and the then reigning Emperor Louis Prand II fought a tragic war under the city of Altdorf, both the living and the dead lost. The First Patriarch was defeated and he withdrew to the Hill In Vania, the imperial army, which suffered heavy losses, could only return without success again.

  The successive emperors of the empire have all had enthusiasm for the expedition to Sylvania and regaining lost territory, Karl Franz is no exception, but he has no time to arrange infiltration now.

Meetings for several days in a row made the emperor feel upset. Even if the best Arabic musk was ignited in the room, he could not calm his mind. The promotion and pension of Rick led the army had already been arranged. The Elector was absolutely loyal, and Karl Franz's influence also rose to fame.

   These are not enough, he needs more momentum and political support.

Therefore, Karl Franz's eyes were fixed on the new imperial hero Lallen. The new nobles had to accept the title of the emperor himself in order to have legitimacy. Karl wanted to use this to lead Rick to Ubolko. The Hopper Baron to the east was given to Lallen, making him a legitimate Rickland noble.

  Northern knights, entrusted to the south, there will definitely be voices of opposition, but Karl Franz never imagined that the opposition he encountered would be so fierce, and he was attacked by all the great nobles like never before.

  The first to issue a statement of objection were Boris, Elector of Midden and Edbrand, Elector of Hawke, as expected by the Emperor.

   Then there was the objection of Helmand, the elector of Tarabek in the south, which he also considered.

   Followed by the opposition of the Elector of Wessen, Elector of Steele, and Elector of Osterland, which Karl did not expect.

   In the end, even the Elector of Ivy, Marior Redolf, raised conservative objections, and repeatedly emphasized that it was clear that the emperor should reconsider the proposal to reconsider the location of the enfeoffed territory.

   If he goes his own way, he is fighting against more than half of the imperial decision-making level.

"My most trusted and precious friend, Randolph, why did you raise objections and choose to support Boris and the others instead?" In the spare time of the discussion meeting, the emperor found an opportunity to ask Aiwei who was about to change his mind. lead the elector.

"It's the kingdom of Kislev." Marior-Ridolf explained tangled: "You know, Carl, most of the goods and grains exported by Ivey have to be led by Nord to Errengrad, my province. Through that guy Boris, who just signed a huge order with Queen Catalin, that guy Boris took this as a threat, the profit was very high, and the price he offered was full of sincerity. risks of."

   "What does this have to do with our neighbors to the north?" Karl Franz lamented a little unpredictably.

The emperor's position became more and more critical. In the throne room, although all the electors agreed with the division of interests after the war, there was still no consensus on Lallen's knighthood, and the northern camp headed by Boris was dead. The heart wants to keep Lallen in the north, and take the opportunity to make the suspicion of splitting the empire.

   And Theodoric, who presided over the reconstruction at Sessenmond, was neutral.

Boris still looks arrogant and unreasonable. It seems that he can quarrel in the Altdorf Palace in a fair and open manner, which makes him feel more comfortable. After a few days, he has not seen the slightest fatigue, but his speech has become more and more sharp, and he continues to give his opinions : "Your Majesty the Emperor, I hope you can understand the fact that Laylen went north to support the Nord battlefield in the name of Earl of Draven led by Midden, and Laylen was able to slay the Kamala Dragon-Blood Dog, regardless of credit or Honor belongs to the north! We all know what you want to do!"

"Midden Land belongs to the Empire, and Earl Delavan also belongs to the Empire. Laylen also fought against the Norsca army in the name of Charlemagne, and I am the legal successor of Charlemagne!" main legal reason.

Imperial nobles are not the “vassals of my vassals, not my vassals” as in the knight kingdom. According to the Holy Code of the Empire, the emperor has the right to promote or dismiss a nobleman and his family, but whether to pass or not depends on the imperial parliament. final verdict.

   At this time, another elector spoke up:

"My Majesty, in the battle of Sesenmonde, the provincial legions of the empire were divided into two fronts. The hero of the empire, Lallen, was originally affiliated to the Midden army and participated in the battle of Zika Plain. Pensions and logistical supplies were also provided. It is all the responsibility of the Midden army, so the post-war merit judgment should also be handed over to Boris Todbringer and several electors of the Northern Alliance. The decision is yours, not your majesty. You have set a few pieces of land and only allow us to choose one of them, this is very inappropriate!"

Eben von Liebowitz, Grand Count of Nunn, Elector of Wessen, Guard of the Black Tower and Lord of the Iron Armor of Nunn, whose opposition made the Emperor of the Empire like a throat, the elector who was in charge of the whole More than 80% of the production of muskets and heavy artillery in the old world, Nuen City is the most obvious southern city of the empire's industrialization, Liebowitz holds a crucial vote, many conflicts of interest, the emperor has to avoid retreating .

In addition, the Elector Helmand, the leader of Tarabek, who has always maintained his opposition, also made the emperor deeply afraid. The city of Tarabek, located in the crater, is one of the top ten provinces of the empire. The collar connects seven seats, and the particularity of the geographical location makes Carl worried.

"So, we believe that Your Majesty does not need to choose which fiefdom to choose. This right is handed over to our electors. First of all, the empire must grant the hero Ryan a first-class honorary Griffin Medal, no less than 1,500 pieces. The reward of imperial gold coins, 40 sets of brand-new knight plate armor equipment, and at the same time, the achievements of Lallen will be reported to the whole country, and the awards will be given. And promise to add another low-interest loan, this is the condition of the north!" Boris raised his neck, his eyes revealed the cunning of an old wolf: "If Your Majesty can agree to this condition, the matter of Laylen's knighthood will be concluded. Last year, you proposed in the parliament to build Rick Castle in various key cities, I think the Council of Electors can discuss it again."

Rick Castle is related to the influence of the emperor himself, as well as the control of the various places and even the elector. A team of Rick guard knights directly under Karl Franz himself was sent to and stationed in each castle. .

  Karl Franz was about to stand up and object, when he heard the last crucial thing, the emperor looked obviously surprised.

   He pondered for a while and asked: "The reward of gold coins and armor is not a small amount. Who will pay for this money?"

"There is a lot of money in the treasury, my emperor, 'gold coins are used on the edge of the knife, not in the treasury to get moldy', this is the famous saying of the 'savior' Magnus." Very calm.

"I can't accept such a proposal." The emperor still chose to refuse, Karl Franz was also very tired, he tapped the long table in front of him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "We can finally be in some ways. Agreed, but I want to remind you that the gold coins in the treasury have been invested in the reconstruction of the empire, the large-scale construction of post roads and road protections, and the cost of patrolling borders and mountains is a bottomless abyss. My electors , The reason why the security in the territory is peaceful is precisely because of this decree, everyone does not want to cut a certain expenditure, right?"

   "At the same time, I think Laren's Medal of Commendation can be negotiated again. The first-class Griffin Medal is not suitable for awarding young knights."

   Obviously, Lailun can't stay in Rickland, so the highest award is not worth the emperor's risk of political credit bankruptcy.

Another Elector said: "Oh! Your Majesty, we mean the same thing, everyone knows that Lallen is a glorious Imperial hero, the guardian of Sesenmonde, but he is too young, just under the age of Twenty-five-year-old hero of the empire, the promotion is slower, and it is also a special protection, so as not to be too hasty, and things will be counterproductive!"

"Yes, a first-class honorary Griffin is still too much. A third-class Imperial Iron Cross or a fourth-class Knight of the Blue Ribbon may be a more suitable reward. As for 1,500 gold coins, Knight Rylen The current income and expenditure of the existing fiefs in one year is probably no more than 600, and the rewards are too many, which will only make him arrogant, and it is said that this hero of the empire has captured a lot." Another elector opened his mouth to replace The emperor speaks.

   "Agreed, the heroes of the Empire will understand our good intentions."

   "Young people, they always have to grow up. Griffins can't fly even when they are born!"

   "Yes, that's right"

   For a while, the voice of opposition disappeared, and only the electors were left to discuss their romantic affairs when they were young.

"Since this is the case, then, a third-class Imperial Iron Cross, three hundred gold coins, fifteen full sets of knight plate armor, three hundred gold coins, and fifteen knight plate armors will be handed over to Midden. Solve it." The emperor sat leaning on the high chair, rubbed his forehead with one hand, and said in a distressed tone: "As for the others, no additional war tax will be levied within seven months, and an additional round of three-year low-interest loans will be issued. It's my biggest concession."

   "These conditions are acceptable to us." With almost all the emperor's price on the table, the electors were willing to take a step back and accept it after weighing it.

"However, my request is very simple. Every province, including any three major cities including the provincial capital, must build Rick Castle and complete it within three years!" Karl Franz said in a tough tone. He added: "Rick will bear half of the cost of building the castle, and the other half of the construction cost and the salary of the knights will be borne by the local city council, and local laws will also support it!"

   "My Majesty, I think we can discuss the construction of Rick's Castle in various places."

   "It is acceptable to build in a secondary city. As for the provincial capital, let me say a few more words, Your Majesty, you are violating our authority as electors!"

When a long and tedious negotiation finally came to an end, the electors had conflicts and conflicts over new issues, and it didn't take long for the matters involved to return to the origin of the discussion, as long as there was an elector. Without nodding, the final decision will not take effect.

   At this moment, the side door of the throne room was pushed open, and a palace servant trotted in, ran to Emperor Karl Franz and whispered.

   "Walkma is crowned in the palace?" The emperor was very puzzled: "Or in a war chariot? A team of battle priests and Templars?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chamberlain said with some trepidation: "Sir Ludwig went to receive him and told His Majesty that the electors in the palace hall were having a meeting, but the Archbishop was very tough, and he kept shouting. What. My Lord God chose to come into the world, and I will never allow the northern wolf **** to sully the comet."

   "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Marius Redolf ​​heard a few words, and at the same time, a loud roar came from outside the throne room.

The    Emperor quickly pondered the motives of the Archbishop of Sigmar, and replied: "Wokma is crowned, and he came for Laylen."

"what?!"

   Ask for tickets and subscriptions!

  I have something to do tomorrow, and the next chapter will be posted in the second half of the night in advance.
