MTL - Medieval Empire Soldier-Chapter 205 ·
Empire capital Altdorf, Royal Palace, Throne Hall.
Inside the towering and majestic palace, since the last emperor, Emperor Leopold, the Friedrich family has lived here for generations. The wooden floor covered with top-quality rare animals is the skill of the palace craftsmen. Every corner They all reveal luxury, and golden gilt patterns can be seen everywhere.
The Imperial Palace is a landmark building of the empire.
The person sitting on the innermost circle of the parliamentary round table is:
Rickland Elector, Imperial Emperor Ruthpold
Grand Duke of Middenland, Elector of Wollrich, Grand Prince of Middenheim: Boris Todblinger
Elector of Tuscany, Grand Duke of Aviland Elector of Tuscany: Mario Redolph
Grand Duke of Ostland and Elector of Wolfen: Vamir von Zhukov
Grand Duke of Nur, Grand Baron of Wissenland Elector of Brescia: Benodino Jana
Elector of the Nord Kingdom, Grand Duke of Nordland: Gerald Farenck
Elector of Talabheim and Grand Duke of Talabek: Helmut Felumba
And the Elector who dresses least like an Elector in Parliament, Grand Duke of Steele: Albert Hept Anderson
In addition to Marienburg, which gained independence 260 years ago, there is also the land of Sol, which has long been destroyed, and the land of Sylvania, which is now the land of the dead.
All the electors gathered at Altdorf Palace.
On the second round table, the leaders or popes of the major churches in the old world attended. Except for the Church of the Fairy in the Lake opposite the Gray Mountains, it can be said that this parliament gathered all the beliefs that are admired and loved by mankind.
The Pope of the Justice Church, one of the great recitations, the supreme priest: Volkma
White Wolf Church, the supreme mentor of the White Wolf Knight, the Pope known as "Great Urik": Ke Emil
Moor Church, "Leader of the Dead", Supreme Master of the Moor Knights: Diego Ballard
There are also Salina Church, Tal Sect, God of Knowledge Sect, etc. All the leaders of major religions were present.
The location of the entire Imperial Parliament is the safest place in the entire Old World, except for the Cathedral of Justice and the White Wolf Cathedral in Middenheim.
The powerful mages of Altdorf's secret council of wizards secretly maintain the guardian magic circle, and the core is blessed by several holy artifacts left by countless human empire heroes and legendary heroes in the hall of sacred bones under the palace.
And the most mysterious and legendary troops, the battle court guards, stand around. They are stronger than the Teutonic Knights of Middenland, and they are more than a little better than the Knights of the Rick Guard.
Someone once compared them to the Knights of Grail, the kingdom of knights across the Gray Mountains.
After the emperor's personal diplomat made a brief speech, the Imperial Council took their seats. Except for the electors who sat on the long table in the center, the rest, including the high priests of various religions, sat on the outer round table.
Emperor Lutherbord first got up and initiated a parliamentary discussion topic.
After the emperor himself gave a brief account of what happened three days ago, he collected the intelligence from all over the empire, and then pointed out what the Justice Church thought. Perhaps a blood ancestor of the von Carstein family appeared in Greece. The province of Sylvania, after wreaking havoc on the Roof of the World, turned to attack the empire's territory.
This plunged the Reichstag into extreme quarrels.
Several religious popes in the south questioned.
Pope White Wolf, Big Urik got up and asked: "What is the reason for the whole thing? I think His Majesty the Emperor should understand!"
Since the "Savior" Ludwig Friedrich took off the crown and abdicated and disappeared, Heinz, who could have inherited his elder brother's position as emperor, had all the other three major churches of the empire stand on the sea floor because of being a believer of Ulrich. Inz's opponent's camp, that is, the grandfather of the current emperor Luterbord.
In this regard, the Ulrich Church has always maintained a hostile attitude towards the distribution of power at the highest level of the empire. In the past few decades, there have been as many **** conflicts between Reikland and Middenland.
The Resolute Workhorse frowned, stood up and growled, "Of course we have evidence! There is even intelligence pointing out that there was a fierce battle there, and even wiped out the entire forest!"
At this time, a person stood up at the long table in the inner circle, and Boris, the Elector of Midden, shouted harshly, "You group of heretics who have betrayed Urik's beliefs, since you know the information and don't tell it, Urik's soldiers have no time to be bored. Parliament! Monsters in the forest are still waiting to be hunted!"
The words of the Elector of the Midden Land aroused strong dissatisfaction, led by the Elector of Talabek Land Helmut Ferenba, and the Southern Electors stood up and pointed at Boris.
The provinces of the Northern Empire, Nordland, Hawkerland, and Ostermarkland are on the side of Boris, facing the Southern Elector **** for tat.
The quarrel was fierce, and even escalated to the mutual attack of the major churches in the empire. The popes who were sitting behind the round table accused each other and argued out the dissatisfaction of these years.
It wasn't until the emperor sitting at the head of the round table picked up the warhammer and knocked on the "order board", that the short-term quarrel in the parliament was almost over, and everyone who got up and left returned to their seats one after another. The intriguing atmosphere looked at each other with different eyes In the end, they all looked at the current emperor, Luterbord.
Will the relationship between the various territories of the empire that has been hard-built now be broken?
The empire has more than one church, and the White Wolf God of War in the north is also a true god.
Many decisions made by the imperial parliament in history led to many extreme directions. The most serious one was the period of the Three Emperors that lasted for 170 years until the birth of "His Majesty the Savior" 370 years ago.
Middenland is the most hopeful place to be the birthplace of the emperor. In their view, southerners are cowards and cowards{almost all northerners think so.
Electors, the high priests of the various churches and the great mentors of the knight order are thinking about the stakes. What is beneficial is at least harmless. If it causes irreversible damage to the current status of the empire, they will not agree!
If the Righteous Church were to enforce it, they would not sit by and watch.
The focus appeared on Lord Volkma again.
The great priest showed no signs of discouragement, and his serious face was full of fortitude.
The rough voice echoed in the throne room, "If we will endanger the existing peace of the empire and endanger the existing unity, this is definitely not what the Justice Church wants! The Justice Church will do its best to summon templars, ascetics, and absolutely Don't let things like the green-skinned orc "Gulu" happen again fifty years ago!
Wokma stared at the emperor, "But if! We only care about the mortal world and don't consider the increasingly dangerous state of the empire, how can we purify the unclean under the guidance of our lord?"
"We must unite the forces of the electors to wipe out all the evil creatures that invade the empire!"
Finally, the Volkma shouted: "For Charlemagne, for the Empire!"
The electors realized something, and everyone recognized one thing. The large-scale attack on the southern province of Ivy has nothing to do with other people, and they can even watch from the sidelines, but Aiwei is known as the "Imperial Granary". "It is said that the grain sold to other electorate provinces alone accounts for far more than 30% every year. Now that the Northern War has just passed, the new round of autumn wheat collection is far from being completed.
The news from Border City said that it is imminent. If the city is broken, the endless plains of Ai Weiling will not be easy to hold.
One of the most concerned issues is still the Elector of Steele, the land of Steele
Rootbold looked around the throne room.
Now, the Emperor of the Empire is still in his hands.
"Then, the council is over!"
In the final decision of the final decision, all the southern provinces dispatched the army of the electors to support the Aviland within one month, while the northern electors, especially the Kingdom of Nord and Ostermark, their duty is to fight with all their strength. The Norscans across the Dirty Sea to the north.
Mario Redolph, the Elector of Ivey, offered a good price and hired an elite halberd team from the Nord Kingdom, the "Nord Marine Corps". They fight against demonic creatures all the year round. The beast is handy.
The main topic of discussion in the Imperial Parliament is over. Now the Throne Hall is full of banquet delicacies. Many rare characters have appeared in the Imperial Parliament. Many electors also have many things to discuss. At least it is impossible to end this rare meeting today and tomorrow morning. parliament.
Ostermark and Steele's Essen belonging discussion and the increasing number of Beastmen on the border help each other.
During this period, the Elector of Aviland reached an oral grain ore trade agreement with the Elector of the Northern Nord Kingdom. The details must be understood today. After all, the capital of the empire is not a neutral place. If there is a small chance to meet here, it is better to negotiate more things as soon as possible.
The Elector of Wissenland met with several archbishops of the official religions of the empire, such as the Moorish Church of Life Church, in order to enrich the faith of Wissenland.
Recently, many well-known large-scale cult groups have flourished in Wessen Territory. Naturally, Baron Wessenborg hopes to use gods to control gods. Of course, the generous rewards make every archbishop a little happy.
Among the popes present, besides His Excellency Volkma, there was also Pope Urik of the White Wolf Church who was not invited to meet with the Elector of Wesson.
The south thinks that the north is barbaric and uncivilized, and the northerners think that the southerners are cowardly puppies, and their hearts are full of flowers that need to be thought about.
The same is true for the religions in the north and the south. The Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth even deliberately kept a distance from Great Urik, just because of the faint smell of wolf.
"Great Urik" Ke Emir disdains to work with the southerners in hypocrisy. Except for His Excellency Volkma, everyone present said in the words of the elector Boris: "A coward is a coward, and a coward with a gorgeous appearance is also a coward. Even cowardly!"
The Pope of the Justice Church got up and walked out of the throne room with a scepter carved with a golden double-headed eagle on the tip of the handle. Two priests and attendants in white followed him and left.
The emperor was chatting with his diplomat Metternich about the trade agreement of several electors just now, intending to profit from it together. The wine glass just filled with wine was shaking slightly in the emperor's hand. Go and put the wine glass outside the table, pass through the perimeter, try not to attract attention from others, and keep up with the workhorse in stride.
The Great Pope didn't pay much attention when he heard the footsteps behind him. Now the church's top priority is to find the chosen one as soon as possible, because the influence is far-reaching, and he is a little absent-minded.
"My Pope."
The Walker turned around in surprise, the top of its bald head reflected the bright sunlight from outside the throne room.
"Your Majesty?"
The emperor ran over alone, nodded and saluted, and then said with a smile, "My Pope, do you want to go back to the cathedral first?" Karl's tone had a sense of humor and a certain affinity.
"No!" The Pope's resolute face remained unchanged, he shook his head, and said in a sullen tone. "Is there any problem with Your Majesty? Or do you feel that your beliefs are not firm enough and you need to repent?"
His relationship with the emperor is not good. In his eyes, Lutebold is just a key to the road to the emperor with the accumulation of his father's generation. Moreover, the emperor had a bad reputation when he was young, and he was famous for his idleness and pompous style. playboy.
Just as virtuous as many young nobles in the empire.
But the Church of Justice has a vote to elect the emperor, a crucial vote. Why did His Excellency Volkma choose him only because Luterbord was assassinated by Chaos Cultists the night before the general election, which made Volkma feel that this The elector had at least touched the sore point of those damned heresies, and since then he has resisted all opinions and helped the new emperor.
The emperor was a little embarrassed. Although he could not use the church for his own use, he wanted to establish a good relationship with the Pope. It was just that he was not clear why His Excellency Volkma was unwilling to cooperate deeply with him.
"I haven't seen His Excellency the Pope for a long time, and I haven't had time to thank the Pope for his help in that assassination. I will always keep it in my heart."
Volkma waved his hand and looked at the emperor with straight eyes, "Every citizen of the empire is the object of my salvation. You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, let the empire become better and the glory of our lord be better in the world." It’s good to shine on the world.”
It's really hard to communicate, the emperor feels a little bit of support.
"What does the archbishop think of the new round of jihad proposed by His Excellency Esme III? I want to know some inside information, okay?"
The great priest's eyes became sharp, as if his eyes pierced the emperor's heart, sizing him up inch by inch.
Volkma took a deep breath and said seriously, "A new round of jihad is absolutely impossible to cause. The church's strength was seriously affected during the Norsca looting a few years ago, and there is not enough capital to carry out religious jihad. The situation of each leader Presumably His Majesty knows better than I do?"
The spearhead of the words was thrown at the emperor again, and the latter also nodded, "The strength of all the territories is greatly lacking. The population loss of the two electorate territories in the north is serious, and winter is getting closer. It is very likely that the cult barbarians in the north will want to Go south."
"Does His Majesty still think that holy war is a good proposal?"
"Oh?"
The emperor glanced at the two priests in white.
Walker understood, turned his head slightly and ordered: "Ross, Fossey, you two go outside the palace first and lead the carriage out."
After the two priests in white bowed their heads, they turned and left.
When there were only two people in the corridor, the emperor briefly looked around and whispered his thoughts.
After listening, the great priest stared at Karl for a long time, with complicated eyes. "Don't think too much about the position of emperor?"
Karl Franz looked stern, and said in a low voice, "It's all for the empire."
