My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1334. Everyone gets what they want, except Louis. Well, poor Louis
Murphy didn't have to be the last to appear on stage at a certain time. At least this was not his original plan when he came to Banks City this time.

Unfortunately, the Chaos creatures and ratmen on the opposite side were too "kind" and just when the airship of the Xiko Hades Army arrived at Banks City, it broke the city wall. This kind of finale drama was performed again and again, and Murphy has earned the reputation of "drama queen" among the players.

The problem is that Murphy isn't even on the airship at this time.
He had no plan to go to Banks City in person to take charge of the situation. The Hades Army and Loren were enough there. What's more, the main force of the Hades Army on the ground was still some distance away from Banks City.

They were running, so they couldn't reach the battlefield that quickly. But considering that His Majesty Pluto had extravagantly mobilized his power as the King of the Underworld to launch a Hades Decree, the undead vanguards transformed from the summoned victims were enough to resist the attacks of the evil creatures and buy time for the Hades army to arrive at the battlefield.

But the side effects of the Hades' decree are also not small.

Murphy feels that the land of East Prussia will have to have the "native undead" as its "new specialty" in the next few years at least, but there is nothing that can be done about it. You can't really want everything, right?

The Vampire Governor is currently discussing some very important matters with Count Lyon in the fortress.

This was his first time entering this fortress, which had complicated feelings for the people of Transia, and it would most likely be the last time. After all, after the events in East Prussia were over, this fortress, which had special significance for the people of Transia, would probably be forgotten in the future.

“Before the Ten Years’ War, this fortress was once a prosperous commercial town. It was located at the junction of East Prussia and Saxe, and had a unique locational advantage just like the city of Batasinn.

Pioneer Fortress is not its name.

At least I think if this land could speak, it would definitely not like the name given to it by the invader."

Murphy stood on the top balcony of the Pioneer Fortress, patted the city wall that was severely corroded by the light-devouring divine power, and said:
"Now that you have it, you should probably give it a different name."

"Why not change it back to its original name? I remember it was once called..."

Earl Lyon beside him said something softly, but before he finished speaking, Murphy stretched out his hand and interrupted him. He turned back and said to Earl Lyon:
"No need to change it back. The Portia Confederation has been collapsed for a long time. The ancient name is also a symbol of loss and shame for it. As its new owner, you should be more creative."

"Well, that makes sense."

Count Lyon nodded and said thoughtfully:
"In a sense, this fortress can be regarded as the 'birthplace' of the Capet family. My son served here, and I also truly started my lifelong ideal here. Such places always have commemorative value.

Although the future capital of the Grand Duchy of Capet will definitely not be located here, it is indeed meaningful to give it a new name.

Why not just call it 'Fort Stephanie'?"

"Stephanie?"

Murphy looked at the Earl curiously, and the latter explained:

"That's the name of my late wife."

"Well, it seems that the rumor that you can't forget your wife is true."

Murphy praised:
"So, besides being a powerful official, an ambitious person, and a great hero, you are also a passionate person?"

"Yes, I was. When my wife was still alive, the neurotic Rose Knight Palano once gave her a beautiful midnight rose. That was my wife's most cherished gift because it symbolized a true love.

At least that’s how it used to be.”

The Count leaned on his cane and whispered in this ominous night:
"I buried the rose in my wife's coffin, hoping that this sincerity would accompany her forever. Unfortunately, I am no longer like that. My lover is about to become the new matron of the Capet family. The moment she walks onto the wedding stage, I will become a promiscuous guy and be recorded in history as such."

"I feel like there's something else you're saying, sir."

Murphy snorted, then shook his head and said:
"I've heard about Ms. Runa's choice. In order to win the support of the Ring Tower for you, she is willing to spend the rest of her life as a servant of the Mind Flayer. What a terrible future.

However, I have some standing with Sim, so I can ask him to relax this restriction for my sake, so that Ms. Runa can accompany you into death, and after she sees her son ascend the throne with her own eyes, she can fulfill her oath. "

"Then I really want to thank you."

The Earl leaned over to thank Murphy quite sincerely at this moment, but then the two fell silent.

The small talk and pleasantries ended here, and it was time to discuss some uncomfortable political topics. Murphy didn't like these, and Count Lyon knew his preferences, so he wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible.

As for the Curtain of Eternal Night beside the two of them, which was still dangerous and became more dangerous with the arrival of the second night, they both tacitly ignored it at that moment.

It seems that the threat posed by the Dark Lord does not exist at all.

Really sorry.

Laohei tried his best to give himself some pictures in front of Murphy, but the fact was that he really couldn't keep up with the version. He had never been an important guy, especially when Lord Heather had already set out with the Holy Light Cultists and the rebellious ratmen of the Black Servant Clan.

It's only a matter of time before the prison system comes to an end.

"The connection of the three provinces of Cato, East Prussia, and Saxe from south to north will create a territory for the Capetian Principality that is comparable to half the size of the Confederation of Portia. It can even compete with the remaining area of ​​the Plantagenet Kingdom on the continent on a geographical level.

This means that once the Grand Duchy of Capet is established, the Old Continent will instantly have an extra superpower."

Murphy stroked the long night guard around his waist and took the initiative to speak:

"More importantly, East Prussia and Saxe were once the ancestral lands where the Sealanders founded their country. They symbolize the legitimacy of King Louis's royal power. I don't think Louis will hand all of these over to you so easily, even with the help of two 'friends'.

You should understand that our two friends in King Louis' court are just icing on the cake, and they cannot turn the tide when King Louis makes up his mind.

So I'd like to hear your plans.

I don't have much time, so you don't have to hide it. Now that we have reached a substantial alliance, I will do my best to help you achieve your ambitions, but I need you to be more honest."

"That's what I'm going to do."

The Count of Lyon wasted no time in presenting his plan. He said:
“If we want to appease King Louis, we must make him realize that the establishment of the Grand Duchy of Capet does not mean that these three provinces are out of the control of the kingdom. We must make His Majesty realize that he is simply changing the way he rules this region.

Faced with those unchangeable external conditions, my Majesty is a stubborn but also a realistic person. When he realizes that a war cannot solve the problem, he always calms down and suppresses his murderous intentions towards me and sends his confidants to sit at the negotiation table I set up, and finally drinks with me at a dinner party with the most hypocritical gentleness.

Therefore, I intend to use a special method, one that will make my Majesty less dissatisfied, to ask for the vassalage of the Plantagenet Kingdom. I intend to invite Princess Bridget to become the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Capet.

And let this heritage flow forever in the blood of Princess Bridget
Of course, he is a ruler in name only."

"That does not work!"

Murphy shook his head and said:
"You will anger Queen Elizabeth by doing this. She agreed to cooperate on the premise that her son's future authority would not be affected. Countess Margaret also made it clear that she does not want her daughter to get involved in politics in the future. I can understand your intention. You are trying to turn Princess Bridget into the representative of the Grand Duchy of Capet in the court of King Louis and use this to bind the interests of the Sealand nobles.

But this would exacerbate the division of royal power, and King Louis would never agree to it.

So, I have a better idea.

It would be better to invite Prince William to become the nominal Grand Duke, and make these three provinces nominally the fiefdoms of the Crown Prince. Every Crown Prince will enjoy this honor, which will be equivalent to binding the Grand Duchy and the royal family in a deeper way.

You will also be transformed from a courtier of King Louis to a servant of the three formations of royal administration.
Of course, this is only in name only. The name of the Grand Duchy of Capet already represents who is the true owner of these three pieces of land. The only problem is that you and your children may not be able to wear the crown openly. "

"But only a fool would focus on the crown and the throne."

Count Lyon waved his hand and said:

“That is only a representation of power, not power itself. If my descendants fail to live up to their expectations and lose the foundation of their lives, even if I really leave them a throne, they will not be able to keep it, and will instead bring disaster upon themselves.

Your suggestion makes sense. Disguising the division of the country as a fixed symbol of the inheritance of royal power is indeed a good idea. In addition, the Grand Duchy will also provide my Majesty with many benefits to ensure that his dissatisfaction will not ferment into war.

Most importantly, we have to find a new battlefield for the king who is still ambitious.

This brings me to the second thing I want to discuss with you, about the power structure in the New World.

I know what happened on the Plains of the Holy Spirit. The poor Ganault people have been slaughtered by the cultists in the past few years. The few remaining tribes have to rely on the Aztec Kingdom to survive. However, the Aztecs are tasked with guarding the sacred forest and are unwilling to expand northward.

This resulted in a situation where there was only a monkey in the New Federation of the United States on the Holy Spirit Plain, which occupied most of the New World.
What a joke!

A country founded by a group of bandits, prostitutes and villains, a country with a lot of blood debts, a hypocritical and stupid country, on what basis can they be so dignified that they will not be held accountable after committing crimes? "

Count Lyon stroked his well-groomed beard, with a look of indignation on his face, as if he really cared about the blood debts in the New World. He said softly:

“That foolish country is doomed to perish, but the civilization of the Ganault people can no longer flourish again, so that rich land will have to wait for a new owner.

However, I know very well that without your permission, my majesty cannot gain new territory after losing the old one. I must prepare a gift for my majesty, and this gift can only be given by you. "

"The Plain of the Holy Spirit does need a new owner, and Princess Chuchut did emphasize that the Aztecs did not intend to own it. It is too far away from the Heart of the World and is not a place that the devout Aztecs should seize and settle down."

Murphy leaned on his sword and said softly:

"That is an unowned land that is as large as the wilderness. No matter how greedy King Louis is, he can't take it all. The wolf girl is also eyeing the new territory.

So I will tell you.
A free country of mountain people must be established in the province of Saxe, the Saxe Coast will become the home port of the Transian Navy, the dark area of ​​the Cato region will belong to the Wolfsbane Clan, and the Capet family must learn to share power in the Cato region with the Vampire Dynasty.

The land under the day is yours, and when night falls the Midnight Folk rule over all things.

Of course, we will obey your decrees as a sign of respect for the ruler of this land!"

"Hmm, a vampire dynasty? That's a grand ambition!"

Count Lyon blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and said:
"I wonder if I have the honor to be a part of this dynasty? What I mean is, the crown that the Capet family could not get in the Plantagenet Kingdom, perhaps it can be awarded at midnight? After I finish my life as a human being, can I continue my royal power in another identity!
I mean, what about replacing Ms. Miriam as the administrator of your vampire court?"

"Ok?"

Murphy looked at Count Lyon in surprise and said:
"This is not a good thing. Are you sure you want to take over Miriam's responsibility? I know Miriam has been resisting this future, but my compatriots and I really can't live without her. This land is unwilling to lose its most outstanding governor and navigator."

"Alas, my child, that worthless creature is immersed in such an unrequited love."

The Count sighed and said:
"He therefore rejected the power I left him and even planned to exile himself to become a ronin who fought for order. He thought that this would win the heart of Ms. Miriam. Unfortunately, that fool did not realize that Miriam rejected him not because of his background or his impure feelings.

My son was still too young and too idealistic to put more thought into matters of the heart, and he saw it as blasphemy, but the fact was, when I first met the Archon lady, I knew that she had rejected Fraser only because Lady Miriam had married herself to Transia and the future Vampire Court.

The lady just didn't want to get my child in trouble.

But as a father, I always have to consider more for my useless children. I am willing to take over Ms. Miriam's burden so that she doesn't have to worry about what happens after death. Maybe she can give my stupid child another precious chance.

Ah, it's just like the foolish knights in those vulgar third-rate knight novels who give up everything for love, even the value of their own existence.

As for myself.
It’s not as noble as it sounds.

I just don't want to give up power, that's it!
My children scolded me for always finding all kinds of excuses to cover up my ambitions. The fact is, I don't want to give up anything I have. After losing Stephanie, I swore! Even death can't take what I have from me!

Therefore, I agree to all your requests, in the name of ambition and power. "

"Then the gift King Louis wants can be delivered by you personally."

Murphy smiled and said:
“Let him send someone to the New World!

King Louis can take as much as the righteous warriors of the Plantagenet Kingdom can take from that blood-stained and pretentious country.

Perhaps in the future, he and the Wolf Girl will eventually reunite in the New World, and the Plantagenets and the Nords will eventually go to war again for the interests of the New World, but I also hope that these wars will be limited to that uncultivated land.

The Old Continent cannot be in chaos anymore. I need everyone here to unite and fight the same enemy together. That is my enemy, but I should not be the only one on the battlefield. After all, it is a major event that will determine the future fate of the world. I hope to give all the living a sense of necessary participation. Hmm!
Suddenly, something happened, the subspace finally had a ripple, and what I have been looking forward to will finally come to an end."

The Vampire Governor felt the violent vibration from the subspace. He immediately spread his wings and floated up, saying to Count Lyon beside him:

"Please forgive me for having to leave, Your Excellency! I don't want to miss this scene that will surely go down in history, I must go to the astral realm to watch the ceremony in person.

A god is about to be born!
Do not!
It is not accurate to say so. A god who can cross that terrible bottleneck on his own is about to be born, and his roar will announce that this war will enter a new stage.

I also felt the movement of the Holy Light Seed. Perhaps the faith you just chose can also bring you a real gift."

Murphy said to the Earl in front of him:
"Praise the Holy Light. The disaster in East Prussia will change this land forever. From now on, the confrontation between darkness and light will become the main theme of this land. As the representative and leader of the light side, the Capet family will also be remembered in history."

"I will keep your teachings in mind, sir."

Count Lyon stood in the darkness with his hands behind his back and said to Murphy:
"Please watch over us at midnight and supervise the fulfillment of our oath. The history of East Prussia will open a new page, and I am honored to be the main writer of this page."
