The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn.

Emperor Laubert sat high on his imperial throne looking down on the five dukes and the Earl of Ron, with absolute confidence on his face, and in his confidence, no one could refuse the proposal he had personally put forward.

The Duke of Chester's eyelids jumped wildly, and he met the emperor's gaze and said, "Cullen can provide experienced sergeants for the Combined Legion to help the Legion train more heavily armored soldiers. ”

"Your father volunteered to send all the hoplites to join the Combined Legion. "Why, am I not worthy of the Cliff family's allegiance?"

"The Cliffs are eternally loyal to the Empire. The Duke of Chester stood up and emphasized, "You need not doubt our loyalty!"

"Yes, allegiance to the Empire, not the Danediv family, not me!" Laubert's tone was cold.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Chester bowed down and took a few steps towards the emperor's high ranks, he said respectfully but stubbornly: "The guardianship of our six dukes is protected by the laws of the empire, and the regular army of Cullen is a special honor bestowed on the Cliff family by Locke the Great, this is not something that can be changed by a cabinet appointment, I have the right to refuse any unreasonable request!"

"You..." Emperor Laubert's face became more and more ugly as Duke Chester's words grew, and he was about to refute Duke Chester, but Duke Gna immediately interrupted him, "Your Majesty, what I want to know is, who is in charge of this army?"

"According to the plan, this unit will be stationed in all parts of the empire, and in peacetime, it will be uniformly mobilized by the military department, and in wartime, it will be handed over to the cabinet and the lion castle to co-ordinate, and the military department will set up a staff headquarters, or we can set up a special headquarters!" Laubert's eyes were blazing.

Duke Gna shrugged, "If that's the case, what's the use of creating a 'Combined Legion'?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to declare war on the orcs or elves?" Before the emperor could explain, Duke Enxi said something abruptly, his voice was not loud, but the content was enough to make everyone's eyes look sideways.

"I don't have that idea for the time being. The Emperor looked at Duke Sean in astonishment

Duke Enxi nodded, met everyone's gaze and said, "Then in that case, why do you want to build such a large legion?" IMHO, if there is no financial support, this army may be even more unbearable in ten years than the four major legions of the empire now!"

Emperor Laubert was tempted to say that in ten years his empire would not need this legion at all, but on the surface he could only say, "The empire needs this army now." ”

"Yes, the Empire does need such an army now!" Duke Enxi responded, his words stunned the Emperor and made everyone look sideways, but then, he continued: "However, this army is not used to serve as a guard of honor for you, let alone a servant of the nobles...

The autonomy of our major families has been an agreement between the tribes since the establishment of the empire, such as the earliest Feld and Karen and Klan realms, and the later Kru and Twak realms and the Hoko Islands, and the position of guardian of each region has been recognized and sworn by the major families under the witness of the goddess.

So Your Majesty, if you need to wage war against a force, such as orcs, our army will be the first to gather at your feet, but if you want to take away the dominion of our army, then I can only refuse. ”

Duke Enshi said and stood up, "Of course, Your Majesty can use your Emperor's power to exile me, but I think that if you do this, I am not the only one who needs to be banished, you need to exile all the members of the Ella family and wage a war against the Hoko Islands, so that you may be able to achieve your goal." ”

The commander of the Empire's most powerful fleet, the ruler of the Hoko Islands, was unusually calm when he said these words, as if he were narrating an extremely small matter.

While Duke Enxi was speaking, Emperor Laubert, who was sitting on the high stairs, tried to interrupt him several times, but he used clever methods to overshadow what the Emperor wanted to say.

His resolute and resolute statement made everyone's eyes look sideways.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the conference room were on him.

The green tendons on the back of the emperor's hands were intertwined like iron wires, this was the first time in nearly ten years that he had used the power of a cultivator, and his red eyes glared at Duke Enxi like a beast staring at its prey...

"You're threatening me!" "Emperor Laubert jerked up at his chair, his half-squinted eyes suddenly widened, "You dare to threaten the Emperor of the Empire, do you want to..."

"Your Majesty!" Duke Eric shouted, his indifferent voice overpowering the Emperor's voice, successfully interrupting what the Emperor was about to say, he also got up from his seat, "No one can threaten you, threaten the ruler of the Empire, Duke Enxi is just stating his opinion on the establishment of the 'United Legion', you should calm down." ”

"Your Majesty, you are the overlord of the entire continent, and we are just a lowly courtier under your command..."Duke Gna showed enough respect for the first time, "Our request is very simple, the 'United Legion' can be established, but there must be enough reasons, you didn't convince me, so, we can't agree, if you want to use your emperor's power to punish us, now, we are standing here!"

Duke Gna's words successfully diverted the emperor's attention, and also took part of the emperor's anger towards Duke Enxi...

Duke Eric raised his eyebrows at this time, his scrutinizing gaze swept back and forth between Duke Enshi and Duke Gna, then his gaze rested on Duke Chester, and finally he looked at Duke Nick...

At this time, Duke Nick also looked at Duke Eric, and the two glanced at each other briefly, and they both saw a trace of solemnity and doubt in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty—" Earl Ron also wanted to speak.

"In the name of the Emperor, you all shut up for me!" roared Emperor Laubert.

The Emperor smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and he roared as the bright red wine was spilled: "Everything you have is given by the royal family, everything, now, I order you, you must complete the formation of the United Legion within a month!"

"You are wrong! His Majesty Emperor Laubert Danediv, the supreme emperor, the ruler of the Locke Empire, and the loyal lord of the Barrett family, our territory was won inch by inch by our family ancestors, and everything we have now is what our family has fought for generations, and you, as well as the so-called royal family behind you, have not invested a single copper coin, supported even a grain of grain, and have not shed a drop of sweat for this during this period!" The irascible temper of the Dwak Plateau was manifested in the Duke of Gna, who yelled fearlessly.
