City of Sin: Ninety-five years ultimatum
From this shining hall of St. White, you can see the entangled pattern of Sacred Tree Empire kingship and religious authority.
And the blood of the royal family is Radiance Main God and other Deva's citizen blood lines. Because of this, the users of the armed forces of the past generations are mostly from the royal lineage. Such as Urie, Gabriel and Raphael and other Crusade Angel, it has simply become the Rune inherited from generation to generation.
The cabinet meeting should have been an internal meeting of the dynasty, but in fact, including the prime minister, ministers of the military and the interior, and four cabinet members composed of Grand Duke, etc., can only sit on the right side of the long table, while the left side is the church staff s position.
At cabinet meetings, the church also has the right to speak, and can even exercise its voting rights in matters involving the light church.
But this meeting, the left side appeared empty, with the pope and Saint Martin sitting in seven positions. Others, such as Lufide and St. Thomas, who were supposed to be on the line, were not present.
The dynasty emperor looked like he was about fifty years old, and his body was obviously a little fatter, but he had not reached the point where Phillip was.
After Phillip hit Where the Sun Rises with its own strength, his motto that determined his strength set off a wave of fatness among the mainland nobles. Not many people intend to eat fat, but many fat people will be able to walk up from now on.
The Sacred Tree Empire emperor named Louis 13 world, he is not a faint, but he has not done anything dazzling. In fact, under the control of the Bright Church, it was not easy for successive emperors to make a difference.
Louis 13 sat down at the end of the long table and glanced at the people present. On his right hand, he sat full of dang dang, while his left hand was empty dang dang.
Seeing this scene, Louis 13 smiled imperceptibly, then immediately raised his face, gently tapped on the table, and the cabinet meeting began.
An Grand Duke first said: "The Richard must be severely punished! The murder of the marquis of the dynasty can never be forgiven, otherwise this precedent will be opened, wouldn't the nobles of the dynasty make themselves dangerous?"
Another Grand Duke agreed: "We should seriously consider war."
The two most recent cabinet meetings are basically the same.
After two intense discussions, severe punishment Richard is already a consensus, but there are serious differences in how to punish severely.
The two Grand Duke and military ministers from the South advocated that the dynasty nobles should be the main group to enlist in Archeron. However, the two Grand Dukes in the North and the Minister of the Interior strongly opposed that they believed that the dynasty and the church should jointly send troops, and even the church power could be the main force.
The differences between the two sides are clear at a glance. The military minister also came from the southern aristocracy. The south is very far away from Richard, and the dynasty sent troops. In fact, the main force is the private army of each Great Lord.
But the problem is that it ’s not a year or two since the Northern Lords fought against Archeron. At that time, Alice gradually accumulated the territory and resources by the war with the Sacred Tree Empire northern nobility, and climbed to the position of Earl.
After the Richard rule, Alice suddenly became strong and strong. It needed quantity, equipment, equipment, and Rune Knight and Rune Knight. For a time, the border lords headed by the Duke Solam in the north were miserable.
Later, when the Archeron became independent from Sacred Alliance, there was a covenant war, and this time the Marquis Brahms caused the ‘Ukin War.’ In the two wars, Richard hit the Sacred Tree Empire northern lords. The total loss of the lord ’s private army exceeded 400,000!
It can be said that the northern nobles have been a bit scared by Richard. In the past, when the Alice was the leader, the two sides could still saw back and forth, and scored a few rounds. But when the war reached Richard, the Archeron army became completely flawless, and the combat power was soaring, and even two to one will be defeated. How to fight this?
Therefore, the two Grand Dukes in the North strongly disagreed with the dynasty-based troop dispatch plan. Under this plan, the South ’s troop strength was limited, and the North suffered the loss. And the nobles of the dynasty are not harmonious. Once the power is unbalanced to a certain extent, there may be other unexpected situations.
Although the proposal to send troops from the church was proposed at the meeting, the pope looked sleepy and only said that such things had to be decided at the cardinal meeting.
However, everyone knows that in the last battle of the Ujin war, the cardinals of the church were all dead. When will the resolution of the cardinal meeting come?
The cabinet ministers and lords looked at Martin and the pope with strange eyes.
At the time of the last World War, hundreds of thousands of noble private troops were still present. Everyone saw that the war actually turned into a civil war in the church.
The pope and the son who beat you to death at that time, in the blink of an eye, just like nothing happened, sitting together in a cabinet meeting, which makes people feel awkward.
The final meeting got stuck on how to send troops.
Looking at this week ’s cabinet meeting will be over again, a Grand Duke heavily in the north hummed, looking at Saint Martin, and his eyes gradually became sharper: "His Royal Highness Saint Martin, I heard that battle that day, you In fact, it is fighting on the side of Richard. Now when discussing how to punish Archeron, the church is always blaming the responsibility, will the reason be on you? "
"Finally speaking of my head." Saint Martin stretched out, sat up straight, and looked back at the Grand Duke. There was always a smile on his face, but this one suddenly made Grand Duke in the north suddenly have a chill!
Saint Martin glanced at the lords and the three ministers in front of him, and then said to Louis 13: "Your Majesty, I admit that during the war, there were conflicts and disputes within our church. But that war was a division within the church Simply put, it is our principal servants who have divergent views on how to better implement the will of Lord of Radiance, but the differences are only a bit big. "
All the lords are disdainful about the Martin statement.
The disagreement is indeed a bit big, so big that it lost four Crusade Angels, one Archangel, and all cardinals. It ’s really difficult to get bigger.
At this time, Saint Martin smiled and asked: "Masters, do you have any interest in participating in the differences of the church?"
Grand Duke and the ministers suddenly grieved in their hearts to participate in the church's internal struggle? They don't have this idea.
Lords and ministers who can sit here know the rotten account behind the church. On the surface is the war between the Pope and the Son. In fact, it must be the fact that the factions of the heavens are fighting behind the scenes. Of course, this kind of mixed water is better.
Seeing that the lords shrank back, Martin smiled and said, "It was indeed a dispute within the church, and Richard was willing to stand on my side. As for the murder of Marquis Brahms, it was later. This matter has nothing to do with me. "
Since Saint Martin has already clarified his attitude, all the lords are relieved.
Before they had been worried about this unpredictable son. Everyone knows the result of the internal war in the church, and Saint Martin can be said to be a great victory. Just wait for a suitable time to force the pope to abdicate, then he will change from a son to a pope. If the Guangming Church insists on standing on the Richard side, the punishment can only be eliminated.
Saint Martin said slowly at this time: "I must remind you that the strength of Archeron is almost completely unharmed. The loss of the private army of the northern lords is quite heavy. It is appropriate to rush to war now?"
This is actually the reason why the two Grand Duke in the north strongly opposed the dynasty's war. They need time to recuperate.
At this time, the Secretary of the Army coughed, said solemnly: "His Highness said very well. In the Ujin War, the loss of Archeron is far less than it should be. And the distinguished lords in the north need time to re-arm themselves Army. So all we need now is time. I suggest that the lords in the north rebuild the army, and in addition to providing half of the weaponry, the lords in the south should also provide two Plane one-year military sources to the northern lord. What do you think? "
"Very good advice!" The two Grand Dukes in the north immediately agreed, and the pressure to expand their troops was reduced by a third.
The two Grand Dukes from the South thought about it for a while, and they thought it was appropriate. After all, if they don't contribute, the North will definitely not use troops. Want to use Archeron to weaken the North? No one will be fooled by such an obvious trap.
The Minister of the Interior said: "We have a total of 22 princes in the dynasty, with a total of more than 60 Planes that can provide soldiers. District Archeron, how can we compete with our war potential. I agree with this plan, even if I give Richard a little breathing time Nothing, time will be on our side. "
Saint Martin simply applauded and praised: "Genius and wonderful advice! I agree."
The resolution agreed on this. It will take half a year to re-expand military training. Half a year later, Sacred Tree Empire will formally hold Richard accountable for the murder of Marquis Brahms.
The cabinet meeting is over, and this difficult problem finally has a solution at this meeting.
At the end of the meeting, Saint Martin insisted on the last departure. After all the lords and the pope had left, he left the White Shining Hall. Looking at everyone's back, there was something else in his smile.
Time, really stand by these lords?
Saint Martin shrugged suddenly and walked away quickly.
This result is quite good, and for him, in only a few clever words, he returned to three free Midalun, this sale looks quite cost-effective.
When Richard returned from Green Forest to Norland, the time had not passed.
Sacred Tree Empire sent an ultimatum to Richard, requesting Richard to explain the killing of Marquis Brahms, otherwise, Sacred Tree Empire will have to take action.
