PS2: This chapter is 5200 words, a lot of words, enough to ensure that everyone is happy to see, by the way, ask for a wave of ducks!

For Ryan, he didn’t care about Kislov. For the first line of defense against the icy country and the old world facing chaos, Brittany was too far away from Kislov. There is really no need to go so far, so Ryan is really lacking in interest in Beria's proposal, and there is really no interest in it, so he politely declined.

Even if something happened to Kislov, there would be empire support. If the kingdom of knights really wanted to help, at least it would have to wait until the czar actively asked for help or even the country was approaching extinction. Otherwise, even if Ryan took the initiative to extend the olive branch, people would not appreciate it.

The most important thing now is to return to China and a series of rewards.

Obviously, the victory of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition has once again spread the names of Ryan and Bellegar throughout the old world. Now, many people can’t wait to crown Ryan the "Greatest Knight King Since Arthur" and "Finally" The names of the Bretons, the Whip of the Lady of the Lake, and the Conqueror of the Evil Land, have become the most shining star in the human kingdom.

Imperial calendar 2513, mid-January, the center of the old world, the capital of the empire, Braunschweig.

In winter, the capital of Brunswick has a slight decline compared to the prosperity of a few years ago. The streets are full of people who leave quickly. In addition, many justice churches, especially the fighting of Charlemagne. Pastors, are preaching constantly in the street.

Correspondingly, the fighting priest of the White Wolf Church of the White Wolf God Urik also preached on the street.

The two sides are full of gunpowder, which forced a large number of troops in the capital to patrol and maintain the security of the entire capital. They tried to separate the believers of the two factions. However, in the face of the stubborn White Wolf church pastor, even the emperor’s will was powerless.

Charlemagne was once the chosen champion of the white wolf **** Urik.

The savior Ludwig once passed through the White Wolf Holy Fire unscathed. Relying on this move, he united the entire empire, which is also the gift of the wolf **** Urik.

This predestined that the emperor could not deny the White Wolf sect, otherwise it would be denying the legality of the empire and the legitimacy of his own rule.

However, just a few days ago, outside the city of Braunschweig, a terrible infighting broke out. The army of the Church of Justice led by Archbishop Vicma and the bishop of the Wismond region of the Church of Urik. The Urik church army led by Chitel-Wesmond carried out an extremely fierce merging, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The cause of all this was only a sentence from Bishop Richtel when he was preaching: "Charlie Man is not a god."

Because of this sentence, the two sides fought a battle outside Braunschweig.

Emperor Karl-Franz was totally unwilling to see this battle happen, but the emperor also knew that his basic disk was the Church of Justice. Archbishop Vicma was politically a close ally of the emperor and also Karl-Franz. His most powerful supporter was the one who gave the three key votes in the election of the emperor, so Karl-Franz did not stop the battle. He allowed the two sides to fight a battle on the outskirts of Braunschweig and ordered Swiss The guard and the private army belonging only to the emperor are all ready to go.

As the Bishop of the Wismond Region Richter was kicked by Archbishop Vikmar with the command scepter and died on the spot, the emperor finally found an excuse to order the Rick guard and the emperor’s private army to dispatch. They were chaosed as Richter. Corruption and unconsciousness went to war privately as a reason, led the siege and disarmed the Urik church army, and then unilaterally declared that the contradictions and conflicts had ended, and the Justice Church and Urik church were still brother churches.

Therefore, the war ended with a total victory for the southern factions of the empire. However, although Archbishop Vekmar won a military victory, for the empire, there was no winner in this war. More than a thousand people fell on the battlefield, and these troops It should have been used to fight evil.

To make matters worse, the empire showed signs of division. After the war, the Grand Duke of Midden and Elector Boris immediately led the army of Midden into the Electoral Palace in Kronborg and confronted the emperor across the river. , Boris is said to be extremely angry at the outcome of this war and scolded Karl-Franz as the puppet emperor of the Church of Justice.

At the same time, Nuer, who had been extremely distrustful of the emperor and who was very independent, began to move around. Emmanuel Nur, the imperial lady, led the Nur armored army to the emperor’s court. Many rumors said that she wanted to ascend to the throne and become the empress of the imperial court. , There are also rumors that she is seeking political blackmail from the emperor, supporting her son Frederick to become the next emperor-as the price of Nuer's support for Brunswick.

The entire empire finally had a little time to recuperate, and as a result, there was an instant cloud of war, and there were rumors everywhere in the market, and even more believed that this was a symbol of the disintegration of the empire, the big alliance.

And just on the main street in Braunschweig, under the icon of Charlemagne, a fighting pastor of the Church of Justice is making a loud speech to passers-by, and there are many listeners.

"Emperor [Tianlai Novel www.23txt.info], son of Charlemagne, in the name of Ludwig the savior, please listen to me!"

"Our disaster is imminent!"

"In the north, the fierce and despicable Boris Todd Blinger and his white wolf gangs are already overwhelmed by an army! He may call himself the wolf emperor at any time!"

"In the East, the ambitious and unpredictable Emmanuel von Lebwitz-Bernardino led the set to Brunswick, our capital, where enemies and friends are indistinguishable! Crisis! Noor! The armored army may invade the palace at any time and support a new ruler!"

The impassioned speech of the Chaplain has aroused the feelings of the nearby citizens. They screamed frantically, waved their fists, and vented their dissatisfaction.

At this time, Brunswick or Rickling’s economy was not good, because Emperor Karl-Franz accepted the "Five-Year Reconstruction of Solling Plan" and supported the Imperial Chief Grand Wizard and Great Alchemist Gal The Thor’s collar and the establishment of the Thor Fortress at the Winter Tooth Pass have been specially restored. Therefore, the imperial court is undergoing fiscal austerity recently. Many projects and constructions have been temporarily stopped. Many large orders and purchases from the court have also reduced the scale. In addition to feeling the cold winter of the climate, the citizens can also feel the cold winter of the whole industry.

"Charlemagne is on, it's a shameful shame all this!" The fighting priests continued to beat the mood of the bourgeoisie: "At this moment, citizens, we must stand up to protect our position in Brunswick and our empire. The majesty of the capital protects us, our interests under the oppression of foreigners and foreigners, and protects us, the supreme glory of being an empire! Let us support our hero, Karl Franz!"

"Yeah yeah yeah!"

"We must stand up and save Brunswick, save the empire!"

"Brunswick belongs to Brunswick, foreigners and out-of-towners get out of here!"

"Never allow **** from other provinces to compete with us for jobs! Seize the wealth that should belong to us!"

The anger of the citizens was quickly agitated by the fighting priest. They roared and roared, and attributed all the reasons for the recent economic downturn and income decline to foreigners and out-of-towners, especially the Midden leaders and Wei Sen leads people.

"Citizens of Braunschweig, please give us strength! Please support us for the empire and for our beloved Emperor Karl-Franz, so that we can overcome difficulties and overcome the current difficulties! "The Fighting Pastor continued: "Please provide help as much as you can. Please, everyone, unite closely with Emperor Karl-Franz and fight for him!"

Inspired by the fighting priest, the citizens of the capital generously donated money and materials, and even many volunteered to join the emperor's army.

And just above the wall of the Imperial Palace not far from this street, Imperial Emperor Karl-Franz was watching this scene with a heavy heart, his hands behind his back, his face covered with haze.

"The army has been mobilized, Your Majesty, if you need it, we are ready to face Boris and his wolf cubs at any time." Marshal Rick Kurt Heilberg stood behind the emperor: "Now waiting for your order. ."

The emperor looked at the scene of enthusiastically donating money and joining the army, and suddenly he said: "Tell me, Heilberg, how to fight without money?"

"Your Majesty?" Heilberg was very puzzled, and Marshal Rick emphasized it again: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with the army's salary and supplies. The capital's army's salary has just been issued."

"The Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition is victorious, Heilberg." The emperor said nonchalantly, "The Knight brothers across the mountain and the dwarves of the Angland clan really recovered in the hands of Green Skin and Skaven. After arriving at Bafeng Mountain, according to the news from Rick Guard Rudolph and the others, Ryan Makado had seized amazing trophies, and gold and various treasures filled the entire fleet."

"The great expedition won. That's good, but it's their business and has nothing to do with us." Heilberg emphasized: "The army led by Rick is still tightly united around you, and so is the people."

The emperor wanted to tell Heilberg that this was a mistake, but if it were not, he would not appoint him as Marshal Rick.

On the one hand, the emperor was pleased with the victory of the Bafeng Mountain Expedition, because the evil forces were defeated, and the danger from the evil land became far away from the empire. This allowed him to allocate a lot of energy to deal with the threats in the north and the empire.

But on the other hand, the emperor felt envied and jealous in his heart. The king across the mountain had a great feat and reputation and prestige. Before the Great Crusade began on the Bafeng Mountain, the imperial court had carefully evaluated the war. Even if Ryan’s personal bravery and his excellent command had been taken into consideration, the imperial court still judged that the probability of victory in this great expedition was less than 30%.

The emperor thought of this and clenched his fist. Boris Todd Blinger is now under pressure, and the war is about to start, but the emperor’s vault is empty. In order to help Gelt rebuild Sol, the imperial court is already in financial difficulties. , Even though it was not yet exhausted, it would still take a year or two to get through the difficulties until Thor led began to give back to the empire.

These two years will be extremely difficult.

How to do? So the emperor thought.

"Your Majesty, Lady Emmanuel led the Nur Iron Armor and Nur Champion Theodore Bruckner to the palace." At this moment, a Rick guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, do you plan to Have a meeting with the Countess?"

Emmanuel! The emperor's eyes were a little erratic, and he even became unconfident: "What is she here for?"

"Your Excellency said that she came to see her son." Rick's guard bowed and said, "She is now in the back garden with little Frederick."

The emperor nodded slowly. He was certain that Emmanuel’s love for her son was obvious to all. The first thing the imperial lady did when she entered the palace was to see her son, who was also the emperor’s godson. This was a strong release. The political signals made the emperor feel a little bit more determined. No matter what Emanuel’s plans are, at least she has no plans to go to war and declare independence. Then there is room for mediation in all this, and for the emperor, as long as there is With a little space, he has a way to operate.

"Arrange a meeting immediately. I want to discuss with our Lordess what we should do next." The emperor motioned to his subordinates to make arrangements immediately, and then he hurriedly left the room and walked towards the living room.

But before that, the emperor had to meet his Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mrs. Hawkswall, in the luxurious and magnificent palace study.

Everything is very tense. In addition to the pressure of the soldiers, the empire’s finances have also been stretched. The military expenditures required by the army, the funds needed to rebuild Thor’s walls, roads, cities and farms, the emperor did not have time to inquire, you can ask Hawke The sour expression on Mrs. Swallow's face and her hands constantly fiddled with her ruby ​​ring and platinum brooch, you know how difficult the empire, or at least the Brunswick court, is facing financially.

"Do what you can, let me think of a way." This is the emperor's order to his chancellor of finance. Karl Franz will have time to reach out and rub his tired eyebrows and the corners of his eyes that already have a lot of crow's feet. , Emmanuel Emmanuel, the Queen of the Empire, took her and Ryan's child, the little Frederick, came in from outside the door.

Compared to a few years ago, Emmanuel, who is in her thirties this year, not only did not show a trace of oldness, but became more and more luxurious and glamorous. Emmanuel was wearing a set of **** cream curtains today. The imperial lady's sheer dress, wearing a gold crown of the queen, tied her long golden hair behind her head, the collar on her chest is raised high, the dress is made of translucent silk and reaches the ankles, and the inside is a black bag. A short hip skirt, a pair of slender legs wrapped in crimson impermeable velvet tights, and a pair of red silk feet wearing stiletto heels inlaid with a gemstone and skull pattern, there is a fragrant breeze wherever he goes.

The noble and elegant features of the Imperial Lady and her enchanting posture do not show that she is already the mother of two children. Judging from her radiant and calm look, the Imperial Lady has been doing well recently.

Isn't it? The emperor secretly complained that everyone knew how good Nur’s economic situation was recently: Nur was the biggest beneficiary of the Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance Treaty between the Empire and Bretania, and the order from Bretania came from the Ryan brothers. The order of the Fogen Ash Legion and the introduction of various high-tech and technological talents, Bretania naturally chose to seek Nuer’s help. According to the information received by the emperor’s intelligence department, in recent years, Under Emmanuel’s supervision and supervision, the salaries of many front-line workers in Nuer’s gun factories have risen continuously by more than 50%.

Now this imperial lady is deeply loved by the citizens of Noor, and her current name among the citizens of Noor is "Our beloved Lordess."

"Good morning, my emperor." Emmanuel took her son Frederick young, with an unpredictable smile on her face.

"Good morning, Godfather!" Even though he is only seven or eight years old, little Frederick's height has grown to about 1.4 meters. The godfather greeted him, and he also greeted him in a learned manner. Emmanuel reached out and patted little Frederick on the shoulder, motioning him to find Grandpa Ludwig. The little guy nodded and ran away quickly.

"Emmannoli, are you here to help me and Boris stop the adjustment?" Karl Franz managed to squeeze a smile, the emperor spoke very directly, after all, the old opponent and the old friend are already well understood.

"Yes, I'm here to mediate." The empire said unwillingly: "No one wants the empire to be divided, and I don't want it. Our power should be used to resist foreign enemies. Therefore, I came to Braunschweig. K, I hope to mediate the dispute between you and Boris. I think Boris will give me this face. Or, what is our emperor’s opinion?"

"Then I have to say thank you." The emperor smiled. He shook his head first, and then nodded: "Anyway, thank you, but I think Emmanuel, you must have something else, right?"

"Little Frederick is arguing to see her father." Emmanuel nodded, her face flushed: "It just so happened that the Great Eight Peaks Expedition was over, and I took little Frederick to Brittany. It’s been a while since I visited Asia."

"This way." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial lady mediated, and Boris was not a fool. The White Wolf Electoral Council, Chen Bing, was also forced to be helpless and politically intimidated, in order to consolidate his position. , He sometimes had to make a gesture, Emmanuel came forward, and both sides naturally had to step down.

"There is no free lunch in the world, Your Majesty." Who knows, Emmanuel suddenly changed her words, and her words became sharp: "I want to know one thing!"

Karl-Franz shook his heart, and the emperor held a serious face with a hearty smile: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that in the name of the empire, you obtained a large war loan from the Dwarf High King Thorglin of Eternal Peak?!"

"Tell me, Karl Franz, is there any such thing?!"

Damn it! The emperor's heart felt cold, and the quill in his hand trembled slightly.

The news has leaked!
