Warhammer Throne

"I don't quite understand what you mean, my majesty." Ryan replied calmly. He walked quietly to Sulia's side and hugged the knight's waist.

"Let's talk about another place." Emperor Karl Franz smiled slightly. His face did not change. The emperor raised his hand and motioned Ryan to follow him to the corner of the town.

There is the emperor's temporary palace, where heavy soldiers are stationed.

Ryan was still hesitant, but Surya squeezed Ryan's hand: "My husband, let's go together."

"but……"

"You should go, and I should too." Surya said gently: "The emperor obviously has something to say to you, he will not hurt you."

"This doesn't look like a friendly invitation." Ryan was still hesitating.

"You have to think about the cost. This emperor is a mature politician. He obviously has some private questions to tell you." Surya took Ryan's hand and said in his ear: "Obviously, this is with you Tagris's arrival. "

"Understood." Ryan nodded and quickly followed.

A group of people came to the garden of the emperor ’s palace. The emperor ’s temporary palace was a famous local baron ’s mansion. However, the baron did not like to live here. Usually, the baron lives in a castle 15 kilometers away. Will come to the mansion.

A large table and chairs were set up in the courtyard. The emperor signaled that all Rick guards would retreat, leaving only Ludwig, his own flag officer. A large white-bearded grandfather said nothing, standing behind the emperor.

The weather was very cold, and the wind blew in bursts. When the Ryans sat down opposite the Emperor Karl-Franz, someone immediately delivered warm coffee. The emperor picked up the coffee cup and carried it on his face. Laugh: "Drink, I swear in the name of the Friedrich family that there is no poison in the coffee."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to do this, I believe you won't be poisoned." Both Ryan and Surya took their coffee cups and took a sip.

"The arrival of Tigris surprised me. The High Elves and Supreme Masters have never been able to come to the empire without important things. His appearance makes me both happy and worried." Emperor Karl sat on the wooden On the backrest chair, he said to Ryan: "Because every time he appears, it means something big happened."

"He came because of me." Ryan picked up the coffee.

Coffee is a kind of luxury goods in the southern country. The price of a kilogram of coffee varies from dozens of gold marks (equivalent to Kim Kronor and Jin Dinar). The Emperor Emperor obviously drank good coffee, the smell of coffee Rich and fragrant, Lane set his eyes on the emperor's face.

Karl Franz's face was only sincere and eager, and the emperor smiled: "Yes, he may indeed be here because of you, Ryan Macado, who killed the terrible god-winning champion 'Red Eye' Eger S. Tilbion, the king of Scalins has brought deep pain to all the order races, so it is not surprising that he came because of you, but this does not mean that the body of His Excellency Tigris , There is no higher, more important mission, am I right? Tagris stayed in your territory for more than a month. In addition to contacting the wood elves, you must have reached a certain deal with Tagris, even Is it an alliance? "

"Your Majesty, your observation is so keen, I think I said yes or no, you already have an answer in your heart." Lane did not answer the question of Emperor Karl Franz directly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer, I understand." Emperor Karl Franz continued, his face still with a smile on his face: "You are the **** champion of the lady in the lake, and Tigris is the supreme elder. Master, you are all the beloved of God. Certain things can't be spoken casually, I understand, but I want to ask, Ryan, what do you think of me? Or, how do you evaluate me? "

"Your Majesty Carl, you are strong, confident, enthusiastic, and determined, and you are an excellent politician and general, but your talent as an emperor is still to be tested by time." Lane narrowed his eyes and said his assessment in full. .

"Yes, you're right." Karl Franz's face became serious: "I finally asked another question, Lord Lane, what do you think of the emperor?"

"The elected monarch, the dark retreater, the heir to all the sacred heritage of Charlemagne from the mountains to the sea ..." Ryan subconsciously gave a standard answer.

"That's what the civilians are saying, I'll tell you, Ryan, in the eyes of the elector, what is the emperor." Karl Franz sneered: "The emperor of the empire is a mercenary who helps the electorate fight! Like the mercenary regiment called Blood Axe you saw today! "

Surya noticed Ludwig snorted softly.

"The electors have all the military and political powers of their own provinces. The empire is unified on the surface, but in fact each province is an independent kingdom. The electors are satisfied with their rule only when they find their enemies. When they ca n’t deal with it, they will think of the emperor they chose. ”Karl Franz continued:“ Do n’t think about the problem too simply, the only thing I can really control is the Rick collar and the southern town. These two places. "

"I know this," Lane said softly. "But, Your Majesty, such independence is necessary."

The empire is relatively close to the Confederacy system. Each province ’s army, law, diplomacy, conscription, and finance are independent. The emperor is the nominal national leader, but in fact, the emperor can only command his own territory.

Emperor Karl Franz and his family were able to occupy the emperor's position under this kind of monarchy system by relying on the richest and most powerful Rick collar of the empire. In the face of a huge foreign enemy invasion, the Imperial Parliament will be jointly held. At ordinary times, Karl Franz is just a "number one" elector who has equal status with other electors.

The only contribution of the major provinces to the emperor is the "prince tax", which is about 3% -4% of the total tax of a province. This tax is often "ignored" by the elected emperors, but Emperor Karl Franz ’s The strong force made this disregarded tax recover again.

"Yes, this is necessary." Karl Franz nodded.

Why should we choose the emperor separately instead of continuing the unification? Because this kind of independence is necessary for the empire, it is well known that the empire is on all sides, and the dense forests and mountains inside are hidden by countless evils and darkness. Many electors have been fighting endlessly from taking office to dying. "War on security", a moment of slack, the destruction of the town, the village turned into scorched earth, mankind will fall in the dark.

Therefore, the province of the empire needs to be so independent, they need to firmly control their army to ensure the first time against evil.

And when there are provinces that cannot resist the terrible threat, the Imperial Parliament will be convened, and the emperor will call the electors together to resist foreign enemies.

"The nobles are decaying, the officials are corrupt, and the electors are arguing over their own interests. The empire is not always as united as expected by Charlemagne or the savior Ludwig." The emperor took a sip of coffee and continued. Said: "It's useless to persuade me, Ryan, I understand that Tigris has made a great contribution in the history of the empire, but this is not a reason to threaten us to obey him."

The emperor's implication was that the political situation of the empire was far more complicated than everyone thought. It was no use convincing the emperor Karl-Franz alone, he could only represent himself and Rick collar.

"The interior and court conspiracy of the High Elves are far more complicated than human beings. Your Majesty Franz, I believe that His Excellency Tagris can handle all this." Seeing Ryan silently, Surya took the topic with understanding. , The knight said with a smile: "You only need to call the Imperial Parliament."

"It is not difficult to convene the Imperial Parliament. I believe that the arrival of His Excellency Tigris will give all the electors a reason and excuse to get together." Karl Franz nodded and the emperor continued calmly: "The difficulty is What exactly does Lord Tigris want? Or, what does he want the Empire to do for the high elves? "

At this time, Ryan knew that he would not come up with a bit of "dry goods", which could not be continued. The Emperor of the Empire had already expressed their hopes and difficulties to them. Through clever dialogue skills and environmental pressure, the Emperor of the Empire had already occupied this dialogue. Took the initiative.

The root cause is that Ryan and Tagris need an empire. The oldest and most powerful human state in the old world has faced the threat of chaos since its establishment, and it has persisted for two thousand years. If it is not an empire, chaos may have destroyed the world. Perhaps the green wave has engulfed the world.

"In the face of the threat of chaos, everyone must unite and prepare for the next invasion. According to the prediction, it will not be too far from the next large-scale invasion of chaos." Ryan finally took out some dry goods.

"Coincidentally, my adviser, the great alchemist Baier Shaze-Galter said the same." Karl Franz nodded: "My great alchemist told me that maybe the northern barbarians would not A large scale southward, but once they go southward under the leadership of a chaotic eternal god, it will be another terrible war comparable to the 'Great Jihad'. "

"Now the Chaos Eternal Selection has appeared." Lane said quietly.

"Then ... it's not difficult to understand why Lord Tigris came to the empire." The emperor nodded with understanding. "I will cooperate with you."

"Specifically, what Your Excellency Tagris wants to talk to with Your Majesty and the Electors, this has nothing to do with me, but please believe that Your Excellency Tagris must have started from the big picture." Ryan Shen said: "Everyone in this world Face the threat of chaos. "

"Of course I believe that Lord Tigris will start with the big picture. He and what he has done in history prove that he is a noble man, but the big picture of the elves is not the big picture of mankind, Lord Ryan." Karl Fran Ci took away his seriousness and smiled again.

"The overall situation of the empire is not the situation of Brittany, Your Majesty Franz." Ryan confronted each other: "I know what you want to do."

"Hahaha ~ Then I think we have something to talk about, you have your position, I have my position, and we fight against evil together, this is called the alliance." The emperor laughed haha, he is no longer on this issue Entangled: "OK, I will fully support you and Tagris."

The dialogue with the imperial emperor made Ryan feel the pressure. The emperor in front of him is wise, decisive, enthusiastic and full of faith. This is not in Brittania. Ryan can rely on the powerful strength and the gods of the lake and the king to challenge. , Here is the empire. As the most powerful human country in the old world, the empire never needed to look at the faces of others, and it was because they firmly blocked the footsteps of the chaotic south that Brittania was able to be relatively peaceful. .

"Your Majesty is really humorous." Suria said with a smile.

"This is all forced out. In the imperial court, you have to learn to smile. Smiles can make your allies have confidence in you and make your enemies uncertain." Emperor Karl Franz relaxes a little, he has already After getting the information he wanted, the emperor turned his attention to Lion: "Lord, sometimes I feel very sorry. You understand that the empire is your home."

"I already have a home." Ryan smiled and hugged his wife's thin waist: "This is my home."

"Hey, when I passed you by the side of Millauden Haven, I always felt very sorry. An excellent soldier was poached by the Knight Kingdom. In fact, if you have such a feat, I can also seal you An Earl's title. "The Emperor shook his head in regret.

"I did this series of feats only after I received the favor of the lady, not because of a series of feats. When I was in a critical situation, it was the lady who helped me." I want you to dig the corner.

"Yes, that's the case." Karl Franz knew that Ryan's intentions were decided, and the emperor was not interested in asking him. Then he said: "So I am very optimistic about you, Lord Ryan."

"I am also very optimistic about myself, my majesty."

"No, you don't understand that I'm optimistic about you, I'm optimistic about you, just like your maid is optimistic about you." The emperor was still laughing, and the emperor's ruler only had fun in his eyes: "I'm optimistic about you becoming King, King of Brittania. "

"..." Ryan's face changed slightly.

"I know a lot of things, Lord Lane, I know everything."

Come out of the courtyard ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Lane smiled and shook his head again and again: "This emperor of the empire is really not simple. Compared with him, Richard is a tinker, he is too aware of human nature and knows when to enter When to retreat, when to insist on when to compromise. "

Suria took her husband's arm and the sea knight's eyes turned blue, and suddenly said: "I think, you will have a lot of gains in this empire tour."

"Why?"

"Because you need each other." Surya continued: "Tigeris needs you because you are a hero of humanity, and the old world is known to everyone, Ryan Makado, who has come forward to coordinate in the middle, The suggestions and assumptions of the high elves are easier to understand and accept by humans. Tagris takes you to let you be a 'lead party', and you will open the gap. "

"You need TAGRIS, because TAGRIS's lofty prestige and identity in the old world can make you do many things easily. With the banner of TAGRIS, my husband, this will benefit you a lot plan."

"Emperor Karl Franz needs you two. The appearance of the two of you is to add two shining diamonds to his emperor's throne. You appear and he is recommended to the elector by him. , A powerful weapon to strengthen your imperial power and status, both you and Tagris will be subconsciously considered by the Electors to be his allies of Karl Franz. "

Surya summed it up a little: "In this way, a solid iron triangle is formed. You need each other and help each other. Both have feelings and benefits. This is a perfect alliance."

Ryan laughed and burst into tears: "Surya, it's my pleasure to marry you ... It's my pleasure, when it's over, I think I can't live without you."

"Me too, my husband."
