Proof of the Sun King

?The Imperial Parliament was held as scheduled in the Royal Palace in Brunswick. In the majestic and magnificent palace dome, the Electors, the most powerful people in the Empire, gathered together.

The attendees are the following people.

Some people are familiar to Ryan, so I won't introduce them here.

These people are:

Karl-Franz-Friedrich, Emperor of the Reich, Prince of Rick, Grand Duke of Brunswick.

Boris Todbringer, Elector of Volrich, Grand Duke of Middenland, Grand Baron Middenheim.

Umberto Corleone, Elector of Tuscany, Grand Duke of Ivyland, and Grand Baron of Ivyheim.

Gianni Bernardino, Elector of Brescia, Grand Duke of Wissenland, and Grand Baron of Wiesenburg.

Elector of Wolfen, Archduke of Osterland, Vamil von Zhukov.

Elector of Bekafen, Speaker of the Ostermark League, Wolfram-Hertwig.

The holder of the electoral right of the Nord Kingdom, the direct son of the Grand Duke Harald Frank of Nord, and the Grand Baron Theodoric Geisel.

The main protagonist of the Church of Justice, Vikma Beckman.

The Archbishop of the Church of Life, Caslan.

The Archbishop of the Church of Magic, Agrima.

In addition to this, there were four other holders of electoral rights, which caught Ryan's attention.

The Elector of Herzig and the Grand Baron of Hawke was Edbrand Ludenhof.

This Elector is the only Elector who does not hold the title of Duke, because the territory of Hawke's territory is too small, it may only be one-fifth of the size of Miden's Territory, and it is actually controlled by humans. The area is smaller, so the title of Hawke has always been a great baron rather than a duke, and the great baron also manages seven or eight barons.

Edbrand Ludenhof is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a horse face. He is surprisingly strong because of his thin body. It is said that the elector's greatest hobby is hunting, and he spends most of the year there. He spends all his time hunting in the villa in the southern forest farm of Hawke, and only returns to the capital Herzig in winter.

Helmut Feuerbach, Elector of Tarabeheim and Grand Duke of Tarabek, also arrived. This Elector has been introduced before and will not be repeated here.

What is more special are the remaining two electoral right holders.

The first electoral right holder was a halfling. He was "Elder Mutter" Esme Stuart, a halfling only one meter two in height. This halfling was already very old. He entered with the help of others and greeted everyone.

Mutter Territory is the most peculiar province in the empire. This place that is like a province but not a province is called "Mutter Dominion". In history, after conquering the halfling's home Mutter, the empire once separated Mutter. Merged into the Styrland and the Ivyland, but the halfling's struggle and uprising lasted for thousands of years. In the end, the savior Ludwig accepted a huge donation when the army of order was close to running out of food and got the halfling to pay taxes on time The new empire returned the land of Mutter to the halflings, and gave the halflings the right to vote for the emperor. Halflings can vote for the emperor of the empire, but halflings are not qualified to participate in the imperial government. All they can do is choose The emperor voted and acted as a mascot.

Mutter Territory is known as the "Fairy Tale World". It is one of the most scenic areas in the old world. Halflings thrive there, are free from competition, and are content with enclosure autonomy. They are protected by surrounding imperial forces and are very war-torn. Less involved here.

Esme Stuart was an oddball who oscillated between Karl Franz and Boris Todbringer, and Emperor Karl Franz took the advice of his courtiers and served a sumptuous meal. dinner, ten bags of oatcakes, and twenty barrels of fine malt stout bribed the old Muth, so the electoral right holder, having eaten his fill, voted decisively for Emperor Karl.

The last remaining Elector was Albert-Happt-Andersen, Elector of Utterbad and Archduke of Stillland.

This Elector was the most special because he was the most powerful person in all the empires present, the only great noble who wore a simple woolen shirt, trousers and fur coat, and did not wear silk clothes like everyone else.

Because the Stillland is really poor.

This province is one of the poorest provinces in the empire. Nord country bumpkins are rich in ore and seafood. Hawkerland exports high-quality hardwoods and all kinds of fine cedar wood and oak. Osterland is prosperous. The extensive animal husbandry and trade in animal hides ensured a good life for the commoners in Ostland, and the gold ore veins produced near Wolfenburg still have unfathomable reserves after hundreds of years of mining, and the output is amazing. Hou almost never had to worry about money.

What does Steele have?

Nothing at all.

The Styrian province is mountainous and forested, with barren land and very little output. Most Styrians struggle with food and clothing all year round. Famine is what Styrians experience every year. Rock bread is very popular in the province. This kind of bread has a strong feeling of satiety after eating, but it actually works...

At least Ryan wasn't going to try.

Wine is the only product that the Stillland can export. Unfortunately, the Stillland cannot produce high-grade red wine. Due to the barren land, planting the precious arable land as an economic crop such as grapes often makes more people hungry, so the local Wine cannot be established as a manor, and can only be grown and sold separately. Most of the wines produced are low-grade wines and mid-range wines. What is commendable about Still Wine is that the people here never add water to the wine, which is really rare in the empire.

What's more, Sylvania is also a part of the Styrian territory. At the end of the Vampire War, Martin, the Archduke of Styr, led the human army to destroy Manfred von- Carstein and his undead army killed the last vampire Earl Manfred and set fire to all vampire castles in Sylvania. Since then, Sylvania has been incorporated into the Sylvania .

However, Sylvania is more like a heavy burden than a gift. There is no grass in this land of death. Countless undead creatures roam in this cursed land. The dead will never rest in peace. A large number of border guards and sentries had to be formed, because scattered undead creatures would attack the border almost every ten days and a half months.

A poor place was forced to maintain a huge border guard, and the financial pressure almost bankrupted Steele.

Andersson, the Elector, is a really good man. He first fell in love with Boris Todbringer, but when Karl Franz found him and promised to provide food aid to the Stierland, the The Elector, who loved his subjects, did not hesitate to "sell" his votes to Emperor Carl, just so that no one of his subjects would starve to death.

Ryan felt that this incident showed two problems. The first was that Elector Anderson really loved his people, and the second was that Rick was really rich and Steele was really poor.

The opening of the Imperial Council was first initiated by the emperor. The emperor himself reviewed the glorious history of the empire and the help of the high elves to the empire in the great crusade. After that, the Magistrates Council of the High Elf Safri Kingdom of Hos Baita was supreme The mage Tegris took over, expressing to the Electors his concerns about the forces of Chaos.

If the empire cannot resist the southern invasion of the northern Chaos, then the Chaos realm will continue to expand, the earth will continue to corrode and mutate, and the world is gradually being eroded by Chaos irreversibly. Since the Great Holy War, the number of Chaos believers in the old world has been increasing. Steady rise.

The Empire needs to unite against the threat of Chaos, Tegris suggested that Emperor Karl Franz was a good general and statesman, and when there was a large-scale Chaos invasion, the Emperor should unify the forces of all the Electors , fighting Chaos together, not individually.

Ryan found a seat behind the Imperial Council. This time he came to the Empire for an unofficial private visit. He could not represent Brittany or the Holy Grail Knights. He could only represent himself. So Ryan could only listen in.

Tegris' proposal plunged the Imperial Council into a quarrel.

"Lord Tigris, we respect you, the savior Ludwig once taught us that a united empire is stronger than a divided empire. Great empires have been divided many times in history, but we have always stood firm in our They are all from the Empire." The Elector of Bekafin and the Speaker of the Ostermark Alliance, Hetwig, spoke first, and the Elector said to Tegris, "However, the elves should not interfere with the Empire. Internal affairs, how we are aligned is our own business."

"The elves will not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, but the elves also have to face the threat of chaos. We are adhering to the perspective of goodwill to remind human friends, not to offend." Tigris said calmly.

"Then this matter should be an internal meeting of the empire. I don't understand why, Your Excellency Tigris, did you come to the imperial parliament specially to endorse Karl Franz for him?" Elector Boris said harshly, his The one-eyed stared at Tegris and then at the silent Emperor Karl Franz: "Our majesty is trying to tell us that he has a high elf ally? We the electors should be obedient. Obedient, or a meteorite will fall on our heads?"

"I have no intention of this, Boris..." The emperor immediately defended: "I mean, the high elves are willing to help the empire, but they prefer the empire to be united..."

"Only high elves can defeat Chaos? I FNNDP!" Helmut Feuerbach, Elector of Tarabheim, bluntly said: "High elves still think they are the masters of the world? I am afraid they are not living in a dream !"

"..." Tigris is not a person who is particularly good at words. Facing the aggressiveness of the electors, the Supreme Mage can't control his sense of proportion. If his words are too sharp, then the alliance will not be possible. If his words are too low-key , is not the style of the high elves.

"Calm down, everyone, we are discussing opinions and making suggestions, not forcing you to do something. Please speak freely and don't rise to racial and personal attacks." The emperor spoke.

Tigris' suggestion was in the emperor's interest, and Emperor Karl Franz had been trying to strengthen the emperor's authority and centralization since he took office. At present, because of his excellent military skills and political strategy, the electors have temporarily abandoned each other The prejudices between them move forward side by side, but the emperor's orders still cannot go out of Rickland. The electors will implement the emperor's orders if they are beneficial to them, and ignore them if they are harmful to themselves.

However, this is much stronger than before.

"Yes, it may be more beneficial for the Emperor to unite us against Chaos, or the High Elves will provide us with the best help in fighting the forces of Chaos, but what about other problems? The undead of Sylvania, the green of the badlands. Skin, and the countless Beastmen tribes in the forest, will the high elves also help us?" Andersen, the Archduke of Steelland, said with concern: "If we can't protect ourselves, we must How to unite against the forces of Chaos?"

"Agreed." Umberto Corleone, the Grand Duke of Ivey and Elector of Tuscany, raised his hand.

"Second." Helmut Feuerbach, the Archduke of Tarabeck and Elector of Tarabheim, raised his hand.

Gianni Bernardino, the elector of Brescia and the Grand Duke of Wesson hesitated for a while, and the elector, who was less than twenty, also raised his hand at the suggestion of the courtier: "I agree."

Both the Emperor and Tigris frowned.

Why did the electors of these provinces all agree?

Because they don't have to face the threat of Chaos, in their opinion, Chaos invades, and they are not the first to attack, so they are not interested in uniting. On the contrary, they each have their own considerations.

Everyone is aware of the threat of Chaos, but it is one thing to be clear, and it is another to wait for Chaos to hit the door. Humans, or mortals, always repeat the sadness of history, and only those who truly feel the crisis. Sometimes, before the eyebrows are on fire~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Most mortals are always busy considering their own interests.

Well, the scar forgets the pain! The emperor could only sigh that human beings are forgetful creatures, high elves have a long lifespan, dwarves have books of hatred, but humans do not have these advantages. After the savior Ludwig disappeared, the electors began to be satisfied with autonomy again. Live your life behind closed doors.

"Everyone! Only when the claws of Chaos knock on the gate of the palace will you wake up like a dream?" At this moment, the Elector Boris spoke, his remaining one eye was burning Angry flames: "You are all satisfied with your own rule, are you from the Empire?!"

"The Empire must be united!" Lord Baron Hawke and Elector of Herzig, Edbrand Ludenhof, also shouted: "For Charlemagne, for the Empire!"

"The empire lasts! The empire is immortal!" Emperor Karl Franz stood up, with divine anger on his thirty-something face, and the emperor rose from the back of his seat: "Enough, if you think so , then vote! Tell me, subjects of the Reich! Unite! Or split and be broken one by one? I, the Emperor of the Reich, Karl Franz Friedrich, are here for your answers! Don't forget Now, the scars left by the chaotic minions on the land of the empire are watching you quietly!"

"Start voting!"

The electors were taken aback by the emperor's roar, and like defeated roosters, they bowed their heads and wrote their opinions with quills.

Fourteen pieces of parchment were presented to the Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vikma.

"Eight votes in favor! Two abstentions, four against!"

"On behalf of Charlemagne and the **** of justice, I hereby announce that the alliance is established!"
