Wizard From Afar

We are Byrne people.

We are still Lotaires, Ebodenites, Sacklandites, Lothars, Alemans, Boys, Arles... We live in this land, proud And the ancient nation.

We are so proud and proud of our nation.

But we have another name... Empires.

The ancestors of Desalion twelve generations ago, and Eckhardt II, who was eleven generations ago, united us under this new name and appellation, creating hundreds of Years ago, the ancestors never even thought of a dream.

A dream called "Empire", a dream that allows different peoples and different ethnic groups to live under the same glory-let a traveler starting from Lothar's deep forest, always When I walked to the big green sea in Poi, the same sun was above my head, and the same flag was below my feet.

This is a beautiful dream, a dream that is so beautiful that the people of the empire even forget how terrifying the ancient kingdom era before the twelfth generation was. It was the opposite and hostile but weak Zhou State. How did you struggle to survive between wars and invasions.

I once said that there is an enemy in the empire that we cannot imagine;

Now the enemy is a thousand times more dangerous than him;

p>

The name of this enemy is called "Split".

It makes us hate each other, makes us forget how we rely on the power of our companions in the past to survive one difficulty after another and defeat one strong enemy after another;

It makes us Without the enemy's sword, he will destroy himself.

And what we destroy is not only ourselves, but also the brilliant achievements made by the ancestors of the twelve generations;

will be in our hands, scattered ashes and dispersed smoke …………

The "imperial declaration" with more than a thousand words spread across the entire empire at an extremely fast speed, just like the last time.

The imperial nobles who were shocked once again were shocked. By the way, they sorted out this imperial manifesto, which was more "horrifying" than the last time, from beginning to end, and probably found such content;

First of all, Byrne united with the two duchy of Boye to resolutely oppose the civil war, and is willing to use any means to prevent the civil war from happening; anyone who tries to provoke war will become the enemy of the two duchy;

Secondly, the enemies of the empire are not inside, but outside; the threats from Azores and Farnesis are far beyond everyone’s imagination. This cannot be shaken;

Third, Byrne, The dukes of the two duchy of Boi will soon lead a "small army" to the Imperial Capital, and while maintaining peace, they are also preparing to submit information about the Azores assassin to the Vault of Heaven, because Byrne has captured an elf warrior. ;

And Loren Torino also welcomes other dukes to rush to the Imperial Capital to lead the most trusted army together to maintain "the stability of the empire."

Fourth, in order to show their sincerity, Loren · Torino and his team will go to the Imperial Capital from the East Sackland Territory to show their sincerity; if the crown prince opposes him to do so, they can intercept at any time Myself;

Finally...and the most critical one, Loren Torino took the initiative to appeal, urging His Royal Highness Connold Desalion to temporarily lay down his duties as the guardian of Duanjieshan and go to Imperial Capital Golovin. Under the common witness of the whole empire (especially the dukes), he was crowned as the thirteenth emperor.

unimaginable!

By now, no one in the empire will still know where the Duke Loren Torino and Byrne Duchy, who re-emerged behind him, are standing; he is now announcing it immediately Neutral, no longer participating in the throne battle may sound more realistic.

But abandoning His Royal Highness Brandon and supporting Crown Prince Connold...it would be too subversive.

In any case, Byrne is the strongest duchy under the empire, not one of them; and the relationship with the surrounding duchy is very good, Loren Torino’s attitude will definitely affect the rest The choice of the princes.

Loren ·Torino …this new duke who once shined in the imperial trial and the Centaur War, what does he intend to do;

Brandon Desali His Royal Highness... really gave up the throne and let his biggest supporter turn to support His Royal Highness?

"How is it possible."

Throwing the "Empire Manifesto" coldly on the table, Connold raised his eyebrows, his expression faintly mixed with a trace of disdain: " It’s just a means of retreat."

"Rejects civil war, supports peace, and fights against foreign enemies together... The purpose of his statement is to prevent me from attacking Brandon, or even against it. He and Lord Byrne behind him started."

Drecis nodded, who stood beside his Royal Highness, still had a blank expression.

He gave up his support for His Royal Highness Brandon, and turned to show his favor to His Royal Highness, who is hostile to Byrne and the wizard class, and also abolished martial arts and rejected the civil war...however, he took the initiative to seek death. behavior.

Once His Royal Highness Connold is crowned the Emperor of the Empire, and holds the Vault of Heaven and supreme authority in his hand, what about a trifling Byrne?

It is Princess Zhang of the Empire sitting across from Connold, and Fitronay Dessalion has a slightly clear look from the corner of his indifferent eyes.

"Great righteousness?"

"A very refined vocabulary, worthy of Miss Fitronai." Connold sighed softly, with a gentle smile on his face : "Loren · Torino and my favorite prank younger brother... are pressing me with'great righteousness'."

Huh?

Dayi, what kind of "great righteousness" can still reverse the current comparison of strength between the two sides?

Drecis, with his head down, is still thinking desperately.

Connold, who looked at his adjutant appearance, shook his head, his disappointed eyes flashed.

It’s no wonder that the Imperial Father arranged Dresis on Duanjieshan before his death... This general may be an excellent commander and a rock fortress in front of the enemy; but in the sky, he is a task. Target beaten by people.

But he is at least loyal enough-to the Imperial Father, to the Empire, to himself... this is enough; such a loyal general does not need to have too much extravagant expectations.

"The truth is very simple, Drecis." Connold patiently explained to his lieutenant: "I am the Crown Prince of the Empire, the Prince of East Sackland...Under this premise, Do you think I really need a Duke of Byrne to stand up and support my coronation?"

Drecis shook his head, of course he didn't need it.

"Reject civil war, maintain peace, unanimously externally..." Connold even laughed himself: "Do you think these should be what a'duke' should say?"

"If it's not, then who should it be from?"

After a pause, Dresis looked up in amazement, his eyes widened, and he was facing his Royal Highness who looked towards him. See.

"Yes, that's how it is." Connold said coldly: "Loren Torino...he took away what I should have said."

Tronay leaned against the back of his chair, looking thoughtful.

"The empire declaration, there are five in total...Brandon and Byrne Duchy behind him, the largest body protection symbol." His Royal Highness gently stroked the map on the table, and the index finger of his right hand stopped. The location of the Scarlet Blood Castle on the map, click harder:

"As a reasonable and legal successor of the empire, no matter what I say now, it seems to be echoing his Loren Torino; in other words, If I want to do the same thing as him, I have to shelter him... or even support him."

"On the other hand, if I attack Byrne at this time, or take action against Loren Torino His unfavorable measures will send a very bad signal to the entire empire—I, Connold Dessalion, want to establish my dynasty on the ruins."

"And the empire The thirteenth generation is an emperor who only knows how to oppress his subjects internally, and can even ignore external humiliation. As a result, the heart of the people must be lost."

The imperial palace is sinking like water.

This... is the so-called "chain reaction".

Because Loren Torino once issued an "Empire Manifesto"-although not many people believed it at the time, the subsequent results and the empire's practice happened to prove that what he said was right.

In addition to the fact that the opponent won the Centaur War, Byrne re-emerged and gained a huge reputation... So when he released the "Imperial Manifesto" for the second time, no one would be surprised or inappropriate. What happened, turned to thinking about the authenticity of the content in the declaration.

Three years...not long or short, but it has gradually polished Loren Torino and Brandon into qualified rulers.

"But you can still attack him and Brandon." Long Her Highness the Princess raised his eyes, the red pupils exuding strange emotions:

"If they really As promised, then Brandon and Loren must go to the Vault of Heaven and swear allegiance to you-let Loren Torino be the Minister of the Seal, and Brandon the Prince of East Sackland and the former advisor."

House arrest? !

The word immediately popped up in Dresis's mind.

Yes, this is indeed a very good way-both to control His Royal Highness Brandon and the Duke of Byrne, and to make the supporters behind them and those who respond to them speechless, and Can minimize the threats they pose.

What a great skill... So it was because of this that His Royal Highness let Princess Zhang manage the night watchman's affairs?

"No, you can’t do this." Connold’s eyes clearly flashed a hint of approval, but then he gave up the proposal:

"The latter one can still be considered, but The controversy in the previous article is too great-letting a real duke or the most powerful duke become the minister in charge of the empire will have very bad consequences."

Fitlownai slightly startled, I immediately understood what he meant.

In the twelfth generation of the empire, the duke no once became the minister of the seal for a reason; backed by their duchy, they themselves have enough power and authority, and then have the seat of the head of the imperial cabinet...very Easy to fight against the emperor himself.

The most direct consequence is that it will strengthen the influence of the Imperial Cabinet, but it will weaken the emperor’s own authority and destroy the traditions since the twelfth generation. Brandon may do this, but Connaught De will definitely not.

"More importantly, the current empire really cannot have any civil wars. I also need Brandon and his supporters to stand on my side and the empire without reservation." Connold said solemnly:

"Because... the Azores are coming."

After the words were finished, Dresis, who had been meditating for a long time, suddenly remembered something personal.

The leader of the wizard tower, the Archon of Eboden...Corona.

"...When we have to face a strong enemy, an enemy who may have killed your father and will soon invade your country; unity is a must..."

"...the last thing the empire can't appear right now is internal fighting and division..."

so that's how it is, it turned out that this is how he suddenly "changed the door" and ran over The purpose of supporting His Royal Highness and providing information is to provide cover for His Highness Brandon's plan, isn't it? !

His Royal Highness Connold, who is about to face the invasion of the Azores, has no choice at all-what he can do is to avoid the threat of His Highness Brandon as much as possible, and do as much as possible. Compromise.

This is the plan they have negotiated a long time ago, but they have to pretend to be an empire and think about the royal prince...

The wizards... really are a bunch of despicable villains!

"However, in the chaos of the Imperial Capital, I can still get information about the death of the Imperial Father in front of me...Golden Lion of Torino, his paws have reached the Imperial Capital? "

Connold browses slightly wrinkle: "Miss Fitronai, can you please mobilize the night watchmen we have gathered, and see if you can find Byrne's intelligence network near Imperial Capital. "

"By the way...I suspect that there are also Brandon's nails in this group of night watchmen. Be sure to check it thoroughly."

The indifferent Princess Zhang did not respond, just provoked Looking back, he asked: "Then what are you going to do next? According to the intelligence, their team has reached the border of East Sacrament."

"Byrne Knight Legion, the total number is almost two thousand. Go up and down from East Sackland; the other way is Floating Void City, which has recently captured the Dwarf Kingdom. Pass through the territory of Elman and go straight to the Imperial Capital."

"Information speculation, Loren Torino It should be on the Floating Void City."

"Then let them in without any obstruction." Connold waved his hand gently, and the index finger stopped on the map Scarlet Blood Castle moved slowly. To Imperial Capital:

"It takes one month from Scarlet Blood Castle to Golovin, and I only need one week at the earliest-I will arrive at Imperial Capital early and welcome my duke at the Sky Vault ......"

"Also, my cute younger brother who likes to make trouble for people!"

Connold's expression was indifferent, but he made the other two believe that he was already A decision is made.

"So, are you going to follow Brandon and Loren Torino's intentions and make yourself owe them an adult please?" Fitronai tilted his head slightly, his long bright hair hanging down like fire At the tableside:

"Such a compromise, there is really no'Desalion style' approach."

"No...I want them to think that they are happy. Now-not only them, but also the nobles of Imperial Capital, the leaders of the six duchy, I want them to feel that Connold Desalion is a person who is willing to compromise."

coldly snorted Connold, who looked at Her Highness the Princess meaningfully:

"After all, you can only hold them up first..."

"You can throw them down! "
