As a result, a group of family origins with the surname Siris were formed in the revived empire.Even Leo IV himself married a noble daughter of Seris as the queen; and opened the era of regency and power of Lin's relatives, which was later called the Seris dynasty.

However, it was also because of the strong oriental Seris dynasty in power, which led to the dissatisfaction of the local nobles and the splitting of public opinion in the empire; it eventually led to the creation of the Western Empire and the Western Empire, centered on the Italian peninsula where ancient Rome originated, after some civil wars. Weir Royals.

As the commander-in-chief and heroic family of the first Crusades, the royal family of the Western Empire also won over a part of the local naturalized Siris nobles; The Kingdom of Lan settled down.

The ancestor of "Mr Frightened" Li Xingke is one of them.But later, during the succession war between the White Iris Dynasty and the Acacia Dynasty, it moved back to the territory of the Western Empire.Then one of the branches joins the church and learns theology and military science for generations;

After his generation, because of his effective performance, he was invited by the queen to teach Lie Sun King, who was still a young prince.In the series of political turmoil and court disputes after the death of the former king, he firmly supported and protected the young King Lie Sun until he became an adult and took charge...

Therefore, in addition to being quite particular about his diet, he is sober-minded to the point of self-abuse.He only likes to dominate and exclude dissidents; he treats any potential enemies and obstructers with cruel and vicious methods; there are hundreds of courtiers and provincial nobles who have cut off their families in his hands.

Among them, it is said that the queen dowager who is said to have an ambiguous relationship with her is the closest, the royal lady Ana who was born in a noble family; In the eyeliner network, people die of hatred or commit suicide in fear.

Therefore, whether it is enemies at home or abroad, or the subjects of the whole country, the royal family and nobles all use the term Horror/Scarlet Cardinal: to describe the era he ruled.Therefore, when he finally died in Fengting Palace due to the gout caused by eating seafood, the whole country was filled with joy.

And as a super metropolis that gathers dozens of provinces and special cities across the country, the residents of Seine City, the elite part of the industry, also follow the traditions of the classical Roman era and the citizens of Constantinople in the East; on the one hand, they discriminate against any foreign People, on the other hand, lack respect for kingship.

Therefore, what they like and are passionate about most is to give those high-ranking and powerful figures various well-deserved or ironic nicknames; The deposed king was jokingly called the "pot king"

For another example, it is known for its extravagance and romantic passion; it is said that there are thousands of jewelers, tailors and other vassals in the city of Seine; therefore, it has become a symbol and the main culprit of the financial collapse of the dynasty, and it is called "the bus The princess of the Eastern Empire.

Because, in the folk tales of various versions, she not only has many lovers, but also likes to gather people for promiscuity with the black mass, claiming that as long as they are male creatures inside and outside the royal family, they have the opportunity to taste her fragrance; Compared with the bus in the provincial post post transportation system.

After all, the relatively complete postal carriages in the kingdom, which are densely distributed among provinces, cities, and towns, were gradually established when "Mr. Terrible" was in power.Known for its slow movement and long mileage, it claims that anyone can carry a distance for a small amount of money.

For another example, in the castle/monastery of Polarare, the archbishop of Aramis, who used to fake death as a cover, transformed into a different kind and hid behind the scenes, and has been operating with a secret society until now, was also the secretary of terror. A subordinate, and has a relationship with the spy organization it controls.

In fact, it was in the hands of the Secretary of Fright that originally it was only a loose spy organization of various spies and eyeliners in charge of the capital region and nearby royal territories; The royal family's confidential bureau should also be feared by the upper class.

However, for the post-evaluation of Scary Secretary/Scarlet Cardinal, it is over time; there has been an obvious and continuous reversal.Even later, it was regarded as a symbol of the heyday of the kingdom, and the enduring and continuous commemoration and remembrance even produced a dedicated ideological faction.

Because, Fulgen, the Chief "Benevolent" succeeded by the Royal Court and the State Council, overthrew many policies left by the "Minister of Fear" and restored the status of many nobles who were degraded and punished; For a while, but it also planted the bane of the dynasty.

In the end, with the longest serving time and the most popular "Benevolent Man" Forgen, because of obesity and overweight, he died of heat on a cruise ship on the Seine River; he was suppressed by the powerful means and iron-blooded authority of "Mr. Horror" Many contradictions and hidden dangers in the past also quickly broke out.

This led to a series of political turmoil and financial crises that lasted for decades.It has been through again, the chief secretary of state "miser" who likes to divination to gypsy witches in private; financial restructuring and expansion of tax powers;

With the frequent change of positions in the Hundred Years War of Legitimacy, the successive military defeats of the kingdom's navy and army; and the huge deficit of colonies that have continued for decades without any gains or feedback, the hard-won dynasty's finances have finally come to an end. degree of maintenance.

When the chief secretary of state "Luxury" Thuringen, who was born in the top richest man in the country and had only been in office for seven years, was confiscated on the grounds that he overran the royal family on the grounds of pomp and etiquette; And was assassinated in the street and failed...

It has been reduced to the point where it is necessary to rely on various income-generating means of selling officials and titles, and distributing titles in order to maintain the White Iris Dynasty; the collapse and demise of internal rule is already an inevitable result.And the results of the school established by "Mr. Horror" became the biggest impetus.

On the other hand, as a result of wantonly selling official positions and indiscriminately issuing titles, the status and gold content of the original knight/jazz class have been greatly devalued.Serious dissatisfaction among grassroots officials in other provinces based on this.All kinds of inefficiency and inaction have further exacerbated the shortage of supplies and the deterioration of the situation.

In the end, in the huge contradictions and differences that were out of control, hundreds of thousands of citizens of the capital and all walks of life came together to overthrow the "May Storm" of the royal power, and later the great chaos in which various factions came to power in turn, and the royal family. The blood moon tragedy in Zhongdemen...

When Jiang Tian recalled this, Rafalo pleaded again: "Look, can I start as a second lieutenant, ah no, a warrant officer? As long as I can lead a unit, I can..."

"No, it's a waste of your talent and aptitude." However, Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "I think you should have better choices and functions. For example, as my messenger back to the capital, Recruit those like-minded people and provide them with a way out?"

"I can give you [-] ecu as a resettlement fee and travel expenses." Jiang Tian then looked into his eyes seriously and said, "If you don't mind, I can also send someone to help you For the individual people you care about, how about taking them to the south and settling down?"

"You...are so generous, I am really flattered." However, when Rafalo heard this, he took a big sip of strong coffee and smiled bitterly: "But, you are not afraid that I will take the money and give you money." Should we go back, or take this news as a step forward?"

"..." Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing, and looked at his words again and said: "I don't think that the senior Lafaro in my memory who took the lead in everything is only worth five thousand crowns; What's more, I can't see it, is there anything worthy of you doing this?"

"Well, maybe you're right!" Rafaro was taken aback when he heard the words, but solemnly put down his knife and fork, straightened his description and clothes, and respectfully saluted Jiang Tian: "The former major of the Royal Army , Raffaello Jean Ando Vignello, I swear allegiance to you from now on..."

When the dinner was over and Rafaro got up to leave; Jiang Tian slowly drank the coffee with a lot of honey and cream, and smiled slightly.Even if the other party is an old acquaintance of his own, it is inappropriate to directly join the Free Army, and it will only destroy the existing basic fairness.

But if he can go back to his mission, bring corresponding talents to the Freedom Army, and show enough sincerity and votes; he will naturally be able to remove the suspicion of spies and eyeliners sent by the capital; or even if he was instructed by others, it doesn't matter. up.So it is also a test and a trial.

On the other hand, because of the current needs, with the expansion of the territory of the Free Army and the size of the army, as a training mechanism for middle and high-level officers, it is seriously unable to keep up.Therefore, at present, it is only possible to select and drop promotions through the performance of specific battlefields in one battle after another.

So the appearance of Rafaro also allowed Jiang Tian to see another channel and opportunity.If you can find those old acquaintances from the capital military academy in the past; or the comrades who fought side by side and rushed out of the capital, even if only a small part of them survived; they can also serve as instructors in a sense.

Then, before starting again, another piece of good news came.The special bonds of 20 ecu initially issued by the Free Army in the rear; have been sold out.And this small test of water also means that the Freedom Army has initially established credibility in the Provence area.
