We are Byrne people.
We are also loctite, eboden, saxophone, loctite, Elman, Boyi, Arle... A proud and ancient nation living in this land.
We are so proud of our nation.
But we have another name... Imperialists.
Twelve generations ago, the ancestors of de sallion and eleven generations ago, akhat II, united us under this new name and title, creating a dream that our ancestors never even thought of hundreds of years ago.
A dream called "empire", a dream that allows different people and ethnic groups to live in the same glory - let a traveler from lottel Shenlin Castle walk all the way to the Boyi green sea, with the same sun above his head and the same flag under his feet.
This is a beautiful dream. It is so beautiful that the people of the Empire even forget how terrible the ancient kingdom was 12 generations ago, how the antagonistic and hostile states struggled to survive between war and invasion.
I once said that there is an enemy within the empire that we can''t imagine;
But now the enemy is a thousand times more dangerous than him;
The enemy''s name is "division".
It makes us hate each other and makes us forget how we relied on the strength of our companions in the past to overcome difficulties and defeat strong enemies;
It makes us destroy ourselves without the enemy''s sword.
What we destroy is not only ourselves, but also the glorious cause created by the ancestors of 12 generations;
Will be in our hands, ashes and smoke
The "imperial declaration" with more than a thousand words spread all over the Empire at a very fast speed, just like last time.
Once again, the shocked imperial nobles, while stunned, sorted out this "shocking" imperial declaration from beginning to end, and probably found such contents;
First of all, Byrne united with the two principalities of BOI firmly opposed the civil war and was willing to prevent the civil war in any way; Anyone who tries to provoke war will become the enemy of the two principalities;
Secondly, the enemies of the Empire are not inside, but outside; The threat from Azores and Fascists is far beyond everyone''s imagination, which cannot be shaken;
Third, the Dukes of Byrne and Boye will soon lead "a small army" to the imperial capital. While maintaining peace, they are also ready to submit information about Azores elf assassins to the sky palace, because Byrne has caught an elf warrior;
And Loren Turin also welcomes other Dukes to rush to the imperial capital to lead the most trusted army to maintain the "stability of the Empire".
Fourth, in order to show their sincerity, Loren Turin and his own team will go to the imperial capital from the territory of East Saxony to show their sincerity; If his royal highness opposes him to do so, he can intercept himself at any time;
Last but not least, Loren Turin appealed to his highness Conrad de Salion to temporarily lay down the responsibility of guarding the boundary mountain and go to the capital Golovin to be crowned the 13th generation of Imperial Emperor under the joint witness of the whole Empire (especially the Dukes).
fantastic!
Now, I''m afraid no one in the Empire will not know which side the Duke of Loren Turin and the newly rising principality of Byrne are on; It may sound more practical for him to immediately declare his neutrality and no longer participate in the struggle for the throne.
But it''s too subversive to give up his highness Brandon and support crown prince Connor.
In any case, Bain is the strongest principality under the Empire, not one of them; Moreover, the relationship with several neighboring principalities is very good. Loren Turin''s attitude will certainly affect the choices of other principalities.
Loren Turin... What does this new Duke, who was brilliant in the pre imperial trial and the Centaur war, want;
His highness Brandon de sallion... Has really given up the throne and allowed his biggest supporters to support his Highness the crown prince?
"How possible."
Coldly threw the "imperial declaration" on the table. Connor raised his eyebrows, with a hint of disdain in his expression: "it''s just a means of retreat."
"Refuse civil war, support peace and jointly resist foreign enemies... The purpose of his statement is to make me unable to lay hands on Brandon, or even on him and the Byrne behind him."
Dreisis, standing next to the crown prince, nodded, but his expression was still blank.
He gave up supporting his highness Brandon, turned to the crown prince who was hostile to Byrne and the wizard class, and abandoned his martial arts and refused the civil war... In any case, it was an act of actively seeking death.
Once his highness connord is crowned emperor of the Empire and holds the heavenly palace and supreme power, what can a mere Bain do?
On the contrary, the long Princess of the Empire, fillonay de sallion, sitting opposite connord, showed a little clear look on the cold corners of her eyes.
"Great righteousness?"
"It''s a very refined word. It''s worthy of being sister fillonay." Connor sighed softly, with a gentle smile on his face: "Loren Turin and my favorite mischievous brother... Are pressing me with ''righteousness''."
Huh?
Dayi, what "Dayi" can also reverse the current strength comparison between the two sides?
Dreisis, with his head down, was still thinking desperately.
Connord, who looked like his adjutant, shook his head and his disappointed eyes flashed by.
No wonder his father arranged dreisis on duanjie mountain... The general may be an excellent commander and a rock fortress in front of the enemy; But in the sky, he is a target to be beaten.
But at least he is loyal enough - to his father, to the Empire, to himself... That''s enough; Such a loyal general doesn''t need to have too many extravagant hopes.
"The truth is very simple, dreisis." Conrad patiently explained to his deputy general, "I am the crown prince of the Empire and the prince of East Saxony... On this premise, do you think I need a Duke of Byrne to stand up and support me in my coronation?"
Dreisis shook his head? Of course not.
"Refuse civil war, maintain peace and unite with the outside world..." connord even laughed: "do you think these should be what a ''Duke'' should say?"
"If not, from whom?"
After a pause, dreisis, who looked up in amazement, opened his eyes and just looked at his crown prince.
"Yes, that''s it." connord said coldly, "Loren Turin... He took what I should have said."
Philrone leaned back in his chair with a thoughtful expression.
"There are five imperial manifestos in total... They are Brandon and the Duchy of Byrne behind him, the biggest amulet." the crown prince gently stroked the map on the table, his right index finger stopped at the position of the red blood castle on the map, and made a strong point:
"As the reasonable and legitimate successor of the Empire, whatever I say now, it''s like I''m echoing his Loren Turin; in other words, if I want to do the same thing as him, I have to protect him... Or even support him."
"Conversely, if I attack Bain at this time, or take measures against Loren Turin, it will send a very bad signal to the whole empire - I, connod de sallion, want to establish my dynasty on the ruins."
"The 13th generation of the empire is an emperor who only knows how to bully his subjects internally and even ignore external humiliation; the result must be the loss of all hearts."
The palace of the crown prince is as heavy as water.
This... Is the so-called "chain reaction".
Because Loren Turin once issued an "imperial declaration" - although not many people believed it at that time, the subsequent results and the practice of the Empire happened to confirm that what he said was right.
In addition, the other side won the Centaur war, which made Byrne rise again and gain a great reputation... So when he released the "imperial declaration" for the second time, no one would be surprised or inappropriate, and began to think about the authenticity of the contents in the declaration.
Three years... Not long, not short, but also gradually polished Loren Turin and Brandon into qualified rulers.
"But you can still start with him and Brandon." the royal highness of the princess raised his eyes, and her red pupils emitted strange emotions.
"If they really do as they promised, Brandon and Loren must go to the heavenly palace and swear allegiance to you - let Loren Turin become the seal minister and Brandon become the prince and former adviser of East Saxony."
house arrest?!
Dreisis had the word engraved in his mind.
Yes, it''s a good way to control his highness Brandon and Duke Byrne, keep their supporters and those who respond to them speechless, and minimize the threat they pose.
What a powerful wrist... It''s because of this that the crown prince asked the eldest princess to manage the night watchman?
"No, you can''t do that." Connor obviously flashed a trace of approval in his eyes, but then gave up the proposal:
"The latter one can also be considered, but the controversy of the former one is too great - making a powerful duke or the most powerful Duke the seal Minister of the Empire will have very bad consequences."
Fillonet was slightly stunned and immediately understood what he meant.
There is a reason why no Duke has ever become a seal minister in the 12th generation of the Empire; Backed by their own principality, they themselves have strong enough power and authority, and then have the seat of the head of the Imperial Cabinet... It is easy to compete with the Emperor himself.
The most direct consequence is that it will strengthen the influence of the former Imperial Cabinet, but weaken the emperor''s own authority and destroy the tradition since 12 generations; Brandon might do such a thing, but connord would never.
"More importantly, the current Empire really can''t have any civil war. I also need Brandon and his supporters to stand on my side, on the side of the Empire." Connor said in a deep voice:
"Because... The Azores are coming."
As soon as he finished, dreisis, who had been meditating for a long time, suddenly thought of someone.
The leader of the wizard tower, consul eboden... Corona.
"... when we have to face a strong enemy, an enemy who is likely to have killed your father and will soon invade your country; unity is necessary..."
"... the last thing that can happen in the current empire is internal strife and division..."
I see. That''s why he suddenly "changed his court" and came to support the crown prince and provide information, just to cover his highness Brandon''s plan, isn''t it?!
His highness connord, who was about to face the invasion of the Azores, had no choice at all - what he could do was to compromise as much as possible while avoiding the threat of his highness Brandon.
This is the plan they have discussed for a long time, but they have to pretend to be the Empire and for the sake of the crown prince
Wizards... Are really a group of despicable people!
"However, when the imperial capital is in chaos, you can still get the information about the death of your father in front of me... The Golden Lion of Turin family, has his claws extended into the imperial capital?"
Connord frowned: "sister phillanai, please mobilize the night watchman we have gathered to see if we can find Bain''s intelligence network near the imperial capital."
"By the way... I suspect there are Brandon''s nails in these watchmen. Please check them thoroughly."
The indifferent long Princess didn''t respond. She just provoked her eyes and asked, "what are you going to do next? Intelligence says that their team has reached the border of East Saxony."
"The Byrne Knight legion, with a total of almost 2000 people, entered from east Saxony; the other way was the floating city that had recently captured the dwarf Kingdom, passed through the territory of El mans and went straight to the imperial capital."
"Intelligence speculates that Loren Turin should be in that floating city."
"Then let them in without any obstruction." Connor gently waved his hand and slowly moved his index finger on the map red blood castle to the imperial capital:
"It takes a month from the red blood castle to Golovin, and I only need a week as soon as possible - I will arrive in the imperial capital in advance and welcome my Duke in the sky palace..."
"Also, my lovely and troublesome brother!"
Connord''s expression was indifferent, but made the other two believe that he had made a decision.
"So, you''re going to follow Brandon and Loren Turin''s wishes and let yourself owe them an adult please?" phillanai gently turned his head and hung his long bright hair on the edge of the table:
"Such a compromise really doesn''t have the ''de sallion style''."
"No... I want them to think they are satisfied - not only them, but also the nobles of the imperial capital and the leaders of the six principalities. I want them to feel that Conrad de sallion is a man willing to compromise."
The cold hum of Kang De De, meaning with his long Royal Highness:
"After all, only hold it up first..."
"To throw them down!"
