The Amber Sword: Act 57 Preparations for the mission iii

Brando's residence for Imperial Prince Lenarret is located to the east of Valhalla, in a palace formed by hollowed out trunks. This is one of the capabilities of Valhalla. You only need to pay Mana in the town hall. This tree fortress can generate an unlimited number of holes inside. Of course, to turn these holes into rooms, you also need decoration and furnishings. Brando asked Amandina and Odhum to imitate Fortress Fir and designed this palace as a Valhalla guest room. Today, this luxurious guest room is exclusively occupied by the eldest son of the Kirrlutzian. Outside the room, there is a Swordbreaker Knight shift guard of Kirrlutzian day and night.

Most of these Swordbreaker Knights knew Brando. After being notified, after getting approval from Lenarret, they respectfully introduced him. The entrance of this palace is very cleverly arranged. It is located on a terrace connected by a vine path; the other end of this path is connected to the second floor in the treetop square above. The entrance is very remote and there is a Forest Elf shooter guarding it; on the terrace Directly in front of it is the main branch of this giant tree extending upwards. The Forest Elf shooter's post and the tree house hidden between the branches are stationed in that direction, but through the lush shade on both sides of the branch, the east can still be seen. The style of the mountains in the clouds can be said to not only take into account the safety, but not prevent the owners here from enjoying the wonderful scenery, Correct is an excellent design.

At the entrance, there are rattan full of green leaves hanging from the tree wall, as if forming a curtain. At the back is the main hall of this palace, which is also half open air. There is a giant above the hall. The crystal can filter in the outside light, let the sunlight or moonlight be poured on the Magic fountain in the center of the hall, and let the shining spring water flow on the pebbles. When Brando and Amandina entered the hall, they saw the eldest son of Kirrlutzian standing by the spring, looking down at the stream of golden shimmering light, not sure what they were thinking about.

"His Highness Lenarret, are you satisfied with your stay?" Brando walked not far from him and stopped to greet him.

Lenarret turned to look at them, nodded, but didn't answer, just waiting for them to speak.

This guy is still bored, as always, thought. He took the initiative to say: "His Highness Lenarret, Wind Elf already started the war at Four Borders Plain, and Goldmane Leonin is also converging. Holy War can say that already kicked off. I don't know if your Highness has any opinions on this?"

Holy War began, The Silver Queen had to rely on soldier noble in the empire, and most of these noble support the eldest son of the emperor. Lenarret nodded silently, and asked, "According to practice, Holy Cathedral of Fire should convene envoys of various countries to Lucita. I haven't had time to congratulate Mr Count and have been appointed as an envoy Commander."

"His Highness Lenarret also lived in Trentheim for a while, shouldn't you not want to return to the empire?"

Kirrlutzian's eldest son, raises head, looked at him with light blue eyes. The indifferent look seemed to say, is it possible that you, a little Count of Tonigel, also want to get involved in the battle for the throne of the empire?

Brando spread his hands and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness, it is not that I want to get out of the fire, but it is helpless. I have no intention of interfering with the internal affairs of Kirrlutzian, especially the most troublesome battle between Emperor and Tong. , I have to think of a way to protect myself from --, which is good for you and good for me, so I hope to get some advice from you.

"What advice?" Lenarret asked.

"First of all, I want to know who in the Empire will spare no effort to support you."

Lenarret frowned slightly, as if considering the value of this meeting, considering for a moment, he made a gesture to Brando -- that gesture: ‘please come inside to speak’, then turned and walked towards the study. Brando seemed to have expected this, and brought Amandina to keep up. Several people came all the way to the study. There were several Light Spirits in the study waiting for the order of the eldest son. Lenarret asked them to decorate the room and put black tea and snacks --. Although these Light Spirit also listened to Brando's orders, Brando had a good wait. The Kirrlutzian's eldest son exercises one's own powers, although his powers are limited to this palace.

After a few moments, when a few Light Spirit flew out of the room, the eldest son of Kirrlutzian replied solemnly: "Mr Count, Octavia family is my wife's family, Duke of Ludwig will spare no effort to support me."

Brando really did not expect that His Royal Highness ’s eldest son had a wife room at already at a young age, but this political marriage is equivalent to the standing team in Vaunde. The Octavia family can be said to be as glorious as Lenarret, and all losses, so Duke of Ludwig can be in Kirrlutz Empire. Be regarded as the that type of person / humanoid that the eldest son can completely trust. "What else?" He continued.

"The Norna family is my ally."

"What's going on?" Brando asked.

"The old Inoan Hou once publicly opposed the queen of the first queen to be placed behind his mother, so he hated with my mother and his mother. This hatred will not dissolve over time. Therefore, the Norna family is most keen to let the mother retreat. I have a secret agreement with the Norna family, Inoan Marquis promised to give me a portion of the mine shares in Inoan in favor of me, and unreservedly supported me to take the throne. "Lenarret replied calmly.

Brando Suddenly, no wonder Mangrove was so anxious to rush to Trentheim from the Empire. The Empire legion is divided into four. The current Inoan Hou Mangrove is the Army Commander of the black legion. In addition, the blue legion is in the hands of the Ayresic family behind Veronica. The Nigel family, which has blood relations with the royal family, controls the white on the Hazell border. legion on the border between legion and Saers. These three families are the typical representatives of the northern military noble. The attitude of these military noble is generally biased towards the eldest son --, but this only represents an attitude. According to Lenarret, the only Norna family that is really willing to contribute .

Brando writes this down and continues to ask, "Are there any?"

"Old Prime Minister Nederhoven."

"Nederhoven Prime Minister?" Brando was startled, almost unsure to ask again. Kirrlutz Empire is the old prime minister Nederhoven. This is not an ordinary person. He should be already over 150 years old. He is an emperor of the Three Dynasties. With the help of Correct, the then Kirrlutz emperor regained power from Holy Cathedral. If there is any legend of Kirrlutzian in this era, it should be the prime minister.

And with his identity and wisdom, or plainly speaking, such an old fox, would he easily choose to stand in line?

Brando looked suspiciously at the Royal Highness of the Kirrlutzian, Lenarret replied slowly: "Mother and daughter favor the Palut family, in fact, to use the regional nobles forces to suppress other forces on the court, the military noble in the north rarely intervenes. Government affairs, so her purpose is that the world knows that -- is nothing more than Prime Minister and Holy Cathedral. The Prime Minister understands that his mother has no affection for him, so naturally he will not stand on that side. "

"But it may not be on your side." Brando thought that the empire has the prince and Princess, and there is no less than one eldest son to be exterminated; but at least one of the eldest son is right, that is No matter which prince Princess chooses to inherit Datong, the old prime minister cannot stand aside with The Silver Queen.

That's enough.

He quietly estimated that the three parties mentioned by Lenarret came from the distant relatives of the royal family, military noble, and general noble. The hardest one should be Duke of Ludwig of the Octavia family, followed by the Norna family, and the old prime minister Nederhoven. It can only be regarded as a potential ally or not as an enemy. Brando still remembers that he had offended the emperor's prime minister and the old granddaughter's baby granddaughter, so he could not provoke it and try not to provoke it.

Kirrlutz Empire has several forces on the bright side, royal family, military noble, regional nobles and Holy Cathedral --

These four forces basically control most of the empire ’s land, population, and resources, and the army. The empire ’s land, population, and resources are of little significance to Brando's. The key to his plan is the army. Among the Imperial army, four traditional legions are controlled by military noble, and the royal family controls two of them through marriage. The Patrol Cavalry and local guards army in various regions have always been the traditional sphere of influence of regional nobles, which also includes the emerging navy. However, regional nobles is divided into two, and the influence of the royal family and Holy Cathedral each account for one of them. The royal family mainly has closer relations with the autonomous Archduke country in the north, while Holy Cathedral mainly affects the size of the South Thane; in the end, Holy Cathedral itself has a military force that cannot be underestimated, including the best part of the Kirrlutzian army, For example, Bishop group and Flaming Knight group.

Brando thought for a while, and suddenly found that she had missed something, "Where is Veronica? Shouldn't she also support His Royal Highness?" He raises head raised this question to Lenarret strangely.

The eldest son of Kirrlutzian glanced at him and shook his head: "Mr Count, the teacher she supported me because of the honor and justice of soldier, but the Eirisich family behind the teacher may not be on my side."

Brando only understood what happened after listening to it. I could n’t help but admire it. The names mentioned before by Lenarret, including even the military nobles in the north, were at best a qualified politician, but this one Female Army Commander is the real soldier and Knight of the Empire.

He knocked on the knuckles, and started to analyze, while answering to Lenarret: "I probably understand already, Your Royal Highness, let us now determine what our goal is."

In the heart of Brando, what I most want to see is of course that His Royal Highness returned directly to the empire, pulling up his supporters and the Her Majesty's Chamber to resist the ceremony. The slightest result of this is also a coup, but it is more likely It was a civil war, of course he just thought about it. The eldest son of the emperor was not a fool, and his supporters had not been affected by the mentally retarded Halo.

What the ultimate goal of a plan depends on the power they have now, a beggar will not rashly whimsically aim at becoming a king. Most of the farmers' vision plan is to pack a few acres of land instead of becoming A giant merchant with a wealth of wealth and a global reach. The goal set by Brando for Lenarret is self-protection.

"Self-protection?" The eldest son of Kirrlutzian chewed the word carefully: "Self-protection, first ensure that my supporters in the empire will not be swept away by my mother, does that mean?"

**, this is really evil, Brando couldn't help cursing. Although he had heard about the wise and mighty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he could not help but feel that the IQ was crushed by the other side for several levels when he was really opposite him. However, he discussed the plan several times with Amandina and Cagliss. Finally, one by one determined the details. The decision was made. I didn't expect the other party to listen to a name and guessed their meaning.

The Silver Queen has set such a grand goal of unifying Vaunde. What she must do is to gather the army first; conceivably, she will definitely start with the Norna family, and she previously suppressed the northern noble, also preparing for this day. -- Military nobles is not a fool, naturally understands the principle of glory and damage, and the only way for her queen to deal with them is to use the peace period to reduce the army and reduce the power of these noble. But the early arrival of Holy War made The Silver Queen have to let go of the restrictions on North nobles, because she knows that she still has many opponents in the empire. If she loses in Holy War, then these hidden objections The simultaneously will jump out and force her to abdicate.

She has been in the empire for forty years. According to an earlier agreement, she should have given up the throne. To continue to rule this huge empire, she must raise the prestige of one's own and let herself have a well-regarded love stack. reason.

The best reason is that she can lead Kirrlutzian to victory.

This is the opportunity for Brando and the eldest son of the emperor, but at this time, instead of standing up against the supreme one, you must also gather your hands and feet, and try not to give her the opportunity to make mistakes. The army that Lenarret can control on the bright side is only Black legion, plus the regional nobles forces that can be influenced by the North Devig Duke, but in fact, the The Silver Queen can not control too many troops, but only two legion, red and white.

But compared to this eldest son, she has more potential enemies. She has venom against the Kirk family, Holy Cathedral, and the prime minister. The Eirisich family is said to be close to Floral Leaf Shire. Her Majesty, on the contrary, although they are not loyal allies of the eldest son of the emperor, they have no shortage of opportunities to turn their enemies into friends -- because at least they have a common enemy.

Brando's proposal to Lenarret is to secretly link his domestic forces in his name, to help each other, and then to hide in the dark. This is a means of self-protection. Self-protection is a type of defense, but defense is also designed to fight back. This Holy War is an inexplicable vortex for Kirrlutz Empire. Holy Cathedral wants to win, The Silver Queen also wants to win, but Holy Cathedral is unwilling to make a wedding dress for The Silver Queen, and presumably the supreme one of the empire has the same idea.

The regional nobles are also born with ghosts, with **** supporters of the queen and Holy Cathedral. When the two sides compete with each other, the power of the eldest son becomes a pivotal force. If he chooses to be silent, Then The Silver Queen's plan to integrate empire forces to achieve Holy War military victory can be said to have failed half.

Facing this situation, it's no surprise that the old Prime Minister Nederhoven will sit idly by, and the attitude of regional nobles will change dramatically over time.

For a very simple reason.

Her Majesty ’s new emperor is completely different from the iron queen who ruled the empire for forty years. No regional nobles would like an overly powerful emperor. This is in Vaunde. It is a universal truth, so it is self-evident who they will ultimately favor. As Her Majesty's prestige diminishes day by day as the mire of war deepens, the voice of forcing her abdication will eventually reach a consensus among all noble.

At that time, Lenarret will be able to return to the empire with justification and accept the crowd of nobles.

This is the final counterattack.

Of course, self-protection at this stage is also good for Brando. He is going to the empire to recapture Azure Spear and Scarlett. It can be imagined that his enemies should have Her Majesty the Queen and Holy Cathedral of Fire. Therefore, he is most reluctant to see a completely unified empire, whether in the name of The Silver Queen or Holy Cathedral, so what he has to do is to maintain the status quo of the empire's chaos, and to seek opportunities for himself with the help of multiple rivalries. At the same time, Lenarret's northern allies can also provide him with the necessary asylum, for example, arrange a channel for him to escape the empire safely.

At this point, he and the Kirrlutzian eldest son share common interests.

Lenarret carefully listened to the analysis of Amandina, and nodded silently, he finally looked at Brando, his eyes were finally not so indifferent. He pondered for a moment before answering: "Mr Count, thank you for your frank proposal. I think I can fully trust you. If I come to the throne one day, today your friendship will become a precious witness."

Brando smiled slightly, and finally sighed in relief in his heart: "So happy cooperation, Your Royal Highness." He replied.

Lenarret nodded slightly to him as a gesture, but his face was not loose. He considered for a moment and suddenly said, "As a friend, I have some personal suggestions to tell Mr Count."

Brando hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What's the suggestion?"

"I know very well that my mother's character is human. Your subordinate is in her hands. She will definitely use her and Aouine to coerce her into submission. I think Mr Count, if the inner world of your subordinate is If it is very indestructible, you better take some action and give her some confidence. "The eldest son replied lightly.

His Royal Highness really knew the real reason he came here, Brando thought, but he also immediately responded that the information provided by Imperial Prince Lenarret was very scam, he thought for a while, and felt that the Queen character, which has not reached its goal, is likely to do so, and thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his trip was really not a loss, and he nodded to the Kirrlutzian's eldest son: "I understand What should I do, thank you very much. "
