Different World Development Manual Chapter 29: Empire undercurrents

As An Rui took the titles of Marquis of Tours and Earl of Len, and owned William, the vassal of Cornwall, An Rui, who was more than half of the legal realm, wore the crown of Duke of Kfar. .

　　 This crown, which was destroyed by Emperor Panda more than 300 years ago, caused the vassals in the Duke of Kfar, the frontier, to chaos for 3 centuries.

　　 But now, An Rui personally led the new Dekhbas army from the three strongholds of Fort Onye, Balk Town, and Gaga Village, and marched directly towards the de jure territory of Kafa in the east.

　　 From Guan Lin’s suggestion, An Rui suddenly felt that his political IQ had risen by at least 20%.

　　 changed from 1.0 to 1.2.

　　 Because the nobles of the Duke of Kfar are mostly independent lords, that is, lords who are directly loyal to Emperor Norman.

　　 In addition, these lords are not the lords directly under the emperor's direct control, so An Rui, as Duke Dekhbas and Duke of Kafa, can directly request the nobles in the Duke of Kafa to swear allegiance to the de jure lord An Rui.

　　 Of course, before that, Guan Lin had already drafted a letter for An Rui. The famous messenger rode a fast horse and sent the letter to Torres’ palace.

　　The letter stated that An Rui, as the Duke of Kaffar, has a relationship between the monarch and ministers to the nobles in the Duke of Kaffar.

　　 The new army of Dehebas is also justified.

　　Norman naturally could not find a suitable reason to stop An Rui’s actions, because Norman really did not expect that An Rui used the title of Earl Gera to earn 1 Marquis title, 1 Earl title, and 1 name in one fell swoop. Earl vassal.

　　 was a quick knife to re-create the title of Duke of Kfar, which was unexpected by Norman.

　　 This political skill is absolutely impossible that the Duke of Salted Fish in An Rui could have imagined. That guy has nothing to do except for taking his small team to adventure everywhere, upgrading to find treasures, and occasionally spreading strange thoughts. Business.

　　This handwriting must be made by Huaxia people behind.

　　 Guan Lin not only delivered a letter to Norman, clarifying An Rui's position.

　　 also used An Rui's yin and yang fish family crest ring with several stamps in succession, and sent the letter to the messenger to the independent lords in the Duke of Kfar.

　　 told them that the Duke of Kaffar would resume his rule of this territory.

　　 either surrender or war, there is no third option.

　　 The lords of Kaffar also jointly wrote a letter to Norman, requesting Norman to implement the Empire’s "Entire Peace Order" to prevent An Rui's atrocities.

　　 But it is not that simple to implement the "Entire Peace Order", at least he has to win the support of several empire lords.

　　 The power in Norman's hands is simply not strong enough to dominate the entire empire.

　　 Although the Valkyrie is on Norman’s side, since the peace talks with Huaxia in Fort Anrib 9 months ago, the attitude of the Duchess of Arnotay Freya has also become ambiguous. Man is hard to control.

　　 Many times Norman found Freya, and Freya refused Norman because she was pregnant and would discuss it after giving birth.

　　 At the same time, the Valkyrie lost a lot of troops because of Norman's plan to cut the domain, so the relationship with Norman began to become estranged.

　　 And the King Florence of the East is definitely opposed to Norman's desire to implement the "Entire Peace Order".

　　 He is happy to see a powerful An Rui appear, a new force will surely break the delicate balance that Norman has worked so hard to build.

　　Tacrean and Duke Waya have nothing to do with their high-hanging attitude.

　　Only the little Capes located in the north of Anrui jointly wrote a letter to support the "Entire Territory Peace Order."

　　If An Rui takes all the lords of the Kafa region into his bag, then Kape will be bordered by a behemoth.

　　 The previous Duke of Capet died of food poisoning, and the little Capes have not yet decided whether the title of the Duke of Capet really belongs.

The title of 　　 changed hands on the heads of several brothers several times, and they didn't have the energy to unite and deal with An Rui, a sudden rise in the army.

　　 In this way, An Rui, in the "acquiescence" of many lords, began to launch a war of subjugation against Kafa.

　　 Once surrendered to An Rui, it means that their own interests as the lord will be lost.

　　 Not only nominally needs to pay tribute to An Rui, but also nominally provide An Rui with troops during the war.

　　The nobles under the Duke of Kaffar who have been wild for 300 years, how can they endure their free and easy days suddenly ended.

　　 quickly joined hands and prepared to resist An Rui's "invasion".

　　 In their opinion, during the Huapan War, the Kafa nobles joined forces to "upright the walls and clear the fields", so that the allied forces of Florence and Capet did not get any good fruits in the collar. .

　　 The combined forces of Florence and Capet are 550,000 troops, and the so-called new army under An Rui is less than 50,000, and An Rui is so arrogant that he can't use the conscripts in his territory.

　　 This gave the nobles of Kafar a glimmer of hope of winning the war.

　　 Anrui’s more than 40,000 new troops and the coalition’s 120,000 troops fought a battle in the eastern city of Tiger of the Duke of Kfar.

　　 The 120,000 army relies on Tiger’s fortifications and defends according to the city.

　　I can't think of how the 50,000 Deherbass new army can take down their large city guarded by 120,000 people.

　　 However, after the outbreak of the war, something unexpected happened to them.

　　In the early stage, the harassment force of more than 20,000 people sent by the coalition forces was completely defeated by the new Deherbass army after only three days of harassment, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing 4,000 people.

　　The coalition forces were immediately frightened by the new army of Deherbas, so that they did not dare to go out of the city to fight.

　　 However, with the emergence of artillery, the "boom boom boom" kept hitting the wall and making noises, and the unbreakable wall suddenly collapsed.

　　 The morale of the defensive army plummeted, and the new army of Dehbas had not rushed into the city. The coalition forces in the city were in a state of fleeing, and many nobles in the city began to write letters, stating that they were being taken by other nobles. Entrapped, the reason surrendered to An Rui.

　　 An Rui was so angry that An Rui wanted to tie up the wall-riding nobles and whip, but Guan Lin suggested that An Rui accept their surrender and let them act as an internal response.

　　 Tiger City only held on for 4 days, then under the blow of artillery and "traitors", the white flag was raised and surrendered.

　　As the Duke of Kfar was fully brought under Anrui's rule, the border of Anrui's territory also moved eastward, pushing directly to the border between the Panda Empire and the Furry Empire.

　　 To the northeast, it borders the border king of the eastern part of the empire, the king of Florence, Nord.

　　 To the north, An Rui also borders the little Capets.

　　Everything is advancing steadily according to the plan of the Time and Space Administration. An Rui, who controls more than half of the Granite territory, also has the ability to be crowned as the Granite King.

　　As long as An Rui is crowned as a king, he can initiate a war of subjugation to the law against the Duke of Cape, who is also dominated by the Granite.

　　 But in this country under the influence of the Holy See, to become a king, to be recognized by the people, you must be crowned by a senior priest of the Holy See.

　　 At this time, the Red Moon Holy See has regarded An Rui as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. It is certainly impossible to send high-level clergy to crown An Rui.

　　 If An Rui wrote to the Pope, it might not be a coronation, but an excommunication, which would be more troublesome.

　　Most countries in the world are countries with monarch power granted by gods, and gods are the goddess of the red moon believed by the people of this land.

　　 If a monarch is excommunicated by the Holy See, it means that his legitimacy as a monarch is denied by God.

　　 No matter how good the territory he governs~IndoMTL.com~In this era or in this world, he will be spurned by his people.

　　 Although the Red Moon Holy See will not crown An Rui, An Rui also has his own way.

　　……

　　Norman of Torres is busy preparing for the reduction of the vassal vassal, and Cardinal Luceri of Panda, not long after returning to Torres, received a letter from An Rui.

　　 Lucerne opened the flame lacquer printed with Yin Yang fish and quickly read the letter of his friend, the corner of his mouth raised slightly and said: "This guy, even let me be crowned, I am afraid that it will not send me to the fire pit of the Holy See Push it."

　　 An Rui's preparation for the coronation did not attract Norman's attention, because Norman's attention was completely focused on the north.

　　……

　　 In the palace of the Duchess of Arnotel, a baby boy fell to the ground. Freya was lying on the bed with sweating profusely, watching the cute little baby boy brought by the nanny for her.

　　 31 years old, in this world, can also be regarded as an advanced mother.

　　 "The Duke is a lovely brother."

　　 Freya happily stretched out her fingers to tease the wet little baby boy, and smiled slightly: "You will be called Dante from now on, my child."

　　At this time, a close maid walked in and leaned to Freya's side and said quietly: "My lord, the Valkyrie came to visit with a gift."

　　 Freya was taken aback and frowned: "Huh? Cici?"
