"The god of ice is for us, and the National Assembly of Evantley has several important issues to decide today. Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, our Cabinet would like to encourage members of Parliament to speak their minds freely. Kyle, the Imperial Executive who presides over the council, said.

At the same time, he first turned around and bowed to Rex II, who was sitting on the highest platform, and then bowed to all the councillors.

The first floor of the vast Imperial Diet building is made up of rhythmic seating.

The noble reddish seats seem out of place with the overall blue tone, but they are essential.

From Wright and Philo's point of view, they can see the entire council premises in its entirety, thanks to the vantage point from which they are on the edge.

Although Rex II was at the highest position, the seat of the councillor was constantly expanding from the position of central prime minister and consul, and the trend of increasing in the way of expansion was constantly rising.

The position of the central speech is the second highest point, the next position of the important officials of the empire is the lower one, and the seat of the first row of important officials and parliamentarians is the lowest point.

Of course, after the opening speeches of the consul and the prime minister, both the parliamentarians who submitted the proposals and the cabinet officials who answered the questions need to stand at the lowest point and look up at the various parliamentarians to ensure that their answers are correct.

This was naturally learned from the systems of the Cruster Empire, and even from various states further west.

"Now, I would like to invite His Majesty the Emperor to make an important speech first. ”

As Kyle spoke in one last accent, a subtle hint of anger and disappointment flashed across Rex II's face.

Immediately after, he and Kyle bowed as if nothing had happened, and Rex II nodded slightly, and then spoke:

"The Empire of Avontele has just gone through one of the most difficult periods, and we have not encountered such a situation in the sixty or seventy years since the new technological reform. However, thanks to the blessing of the God of Ice and the blessings of the Emperor's previous emperors, we have finally achieved victory over the evil empire of Cruz. The specific content of the battle and the administrative direction of the future empire will be discussed and decided by the councillors, and we will sit in on the hearings and make the final decision based on reasonable analysis. But before the meeting begins, let us pay tribute to the Imperial sergeants who have just been wounded and killed in the war. They have made the necessary dedication for the future of our country. ”

After saying that, Rex II lowered his eyes half-closed and bowed his head in silence.

All the councillors below, including soldiers in military uniforms, businessmen in black suits, and officials from all walks of life, followed the steps of Rex II and observed a moment of silence.

Although, some people don't mean it.

After about half a minute, Rex II slowly raised his head and continued to speak in a deep voice:

"The next topic is for you to discuss, and I will not intervene. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Everyone present, including Wright and Philo, replied in unison.

The opening few topics were about the finances of the empire, and were presented by a few businessman-like officials with fat heads and big ears, who had a lot of money in their pockets at first glance.

Some of the MPs at the bottom were listening attentively, but more of them chose to whisper on the sidelines.

After all, such behavior is not prohibited under the laws of Avantlet.

"Hey, Wright, do you see that fat man up there?" said Philo as he sat on the edge and pointed to the man who was speaking in the middle.

"I haven't seen him. In the past few years, I have not been in the capital belt for a long time, and many people do not know each other. Wright said with a helpless smile.

"I saw him in the Western Theater last month, when he was preparing for the war. He didn't know what he was doing, but Mr. Kyle hated him very much, but he couldn't help it. Philo said angrily.

"Why?" Wright was a little puzzled.

"He heard that he was greedy for a lot of supplies at the front, and now he is the Empire's Minister of Finance. If Mr. Kyle were to become the prime minister, the first thing would be to drive him away. But although this guy has a fat head and big ears, his brain is definitely spinning fast. The empire has a year or two of complicated financial calculations, and he was able to complete them in half a day. Enough to prove his abilities. Therefore, the Prime Minister and Mr. Executive can only tolerate it for the time being. But if we and the Crux Empire start again, if he dares to make some old mistakes, it will be a matter of moments. Philo said, gesturing with his hand a sign of the number seven, and lifted it upwards by the way.

"Really?" Wright didn't believe it, and he didn't make it clear whether he believed in such a greedy person, or whether he believed in Philo's last prophecy. But then, he was attracted to the parliamentarians sitting in the rows directly across from them.

"Who are they?" asked Wright in a low voice, gesturing ahead.

Philo looked in the direction of Wright's finger, and there were about a hundred people seated from the first to the fifth row, all dressed in neat dark blue uniforms with a simple snowflake pattern on their sleeves.

Judging from the application and sitting posture, it seems very uniform.

It was dressed differently from other places, and looked out of place with other lawmakers holding Chinese documents and whispering to other lawmakers speaking on stage.

"That's our Holy Frost Party. They are people on the surface, and they also embody Mr. Kyle's power. You see, it's our turn to speak on the next topic, and now we have something to look at. Kyle smiled wickedly and stared at the center podium.

Then, as one of them, who was tall and very capable, walked towards the center, the members of the room seemed to add some more whispers.

"I would now like to raise two very important issues for you. The stake is the survival of the Avantley Empire. ”

This sentence was like a depth charge, and it seemed explosive in the already unquiet parliament.

"How can you say that?"

"They take themselves too seriously, don't they?"

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Most of the councillors thought that the member of the Holy Frost Party was a madman, and even the actual leader of the Holy Frost Party, Kyle, just sat up and watched quietly, not saying a word.

However, Wright peeked in the direction of Rex II from his position, and his face seemed to be very depressed, as if he was trying to restrain something.

"Now, I would like to raise the first issue. The member of the Holy Frost Party didn't care about these discussions, and said in a loud voice:

"The military environment in our Avantlay is quite bad at the moment, and I don't know if anyone here is concerned about this issue. Military parliamentarians will surely be able to notice that, if not military, parliamentarians from several western provinces and tribes should have a deep understanding. ”

"Don't be alarmist!" shouted a voice from the audience.

As a last resort, Kyle and the Imperial Prime Minister looked up at Rex II's position and attempted to kick the important ball to him.

"He's right, you can continue. Rex II nodded and gestured to continue.

After all, this was the Empire's semi-public parliament, and because he had just finished his pro-conquest, he knew a lot about military issues.

"We have to know that the Cruz Empire has become a lot stronger in recent years. No, they have always been so powerful, starting with His Majesty Rex I, until the last few years, their weapons have been renewed, and they have completely abandoned the war horse as a military tool, some with steam chariots, and some have begun to use military tools like water tanks. If it weren't for the advantage of our terrain, I'm afraid we would have to fight a war with them to defend the capital now. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere below was a little more depressing than just now, the Saint Frost Party congressman continued:

"Moreover, it is said that the Emperor of the Cruster Empire used some ancient mystical powers, which were not perfectly defended by machines like magic powers, but were just playthings for the amusement of magicians, but the powers related to dragons and the Lord of the Night left over from the Great War more than five hundred years ago and used in the army. Many soldiers of our empire have been swallowed up by this force. Some are blackened and wriggling after death, while others have gone mad. Moreover, our empire faces danger on three fronts. If any one goes wrong, the history of our Avantlay Empire will be ended. ”

"This councillor," interjected the Imperial Prime Minister in an old voice, "can you specify the source of these dangers?"

"Okay, first of all, the Cruster Empire to the west. The war ended with the capture of Nebsk, but it was because Cruster was fighting at the same time as the countries to the west, and we did not gain much at the negotiating table. Second, there is the Flame Empire to the south. I have heard that some of the local warlords in their northern and western borders are preparing to unite in the quest to reoccupy the towns of the Far North, Gu'ankou, and Kru in our New Southern Province. Although these cities are the ones we have occupied from them in recent years. Thirdly, the easternmost tribes of the Ying Kingdom and the Ice Demon are also preparing to take action against our Yaptis port, after all, our railway line over there is still being planned. Therefore, I would like to draw the attention of the Cabinet to these matters and hope that Mr. Prime Minister will make corresponding arrangements. After speaking, the parliamentarian bowed to the position where the prime minister was sitting, in respect.

However, it was not the Prime Minister who spoke, but Rex II, who sat above, who preemptively said:

"Your proposal is very good and forward-looking. ”

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's statement, the parliamentarians and the Prime Minister present, as well as the Executive Kyle, could no longer question the slightest question.

Although the question was raised by Kyle's men, he couldn't agree more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister. I have a second issue. The councillor continued, skimming Kyle sideways.

"Please continue. The prime minister apparently did not find out about the detail and motioned to continue.

"Recently, mysterious and strange magical power has been displayed in the capital and all over the empire. We must be aware that some of the Empire's favored 'Half-Dragons' have also been affected by these forces and have gone berserk. In addition, I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Relita, the first heir to the imperial throne, was also affected by this aura, and I hope that Her Majesty will allow Her Royal Highness to enter the Imperial Hospital for treatment with the help of the councillors and the care of all the subjects, which is also the hope of all the subjects. The councillor said.

However, when this issue was heard, the huge parliamentary premises turned silent, and it seemed that the slightest noise would be noticed by everyone.

Wright looked curiously at Rex II, only to see that his lips began to tremble slightly, and his face was gloomy, as if he was trying to restrain his volcanic emotions from erupting.
