When a group of nobles heard the story of those brave knights, they all looked respectful.

And the emperor sitting on the main work was even more in tears.

He was at the age when he was accustomed to listening to heroic epics, and now, with several "holy" fearless knights appearing in front of him, how could he not be excited?

It's just that he should have rewarded these knights like Mingjun in the story, but now he can only see these talents, like a meteor across the sky, floating away in front of his eyes, how can he not be resentful?

At this moment, the young Vidia rushed into the camp with a gust of cold wind from the north, and in his hand was a shield engraved with the family medal left by the knight of José.

Because it had just been recovered from the relics of the deceased, there were still traces of mutilation and blood on it.

"Good side hero's weapon. ”

The little emperor casually praised, "Ministers, do you know whose banner this is? Heroes deserve a decent reward. ”

The ministers were a little unable to answer.

They could tell from the texture of the shield that it seemed to be a remnant of the Knights.

But who it was, and the nobles of that family, made them think about it for a while.

After all, most of the brothers of these knights did not have a legitimate heir to their domain, so most of their noble banners and domains were recovered.

As for the members of the Order who still exist in the world, but have never married any nobles, they have naturally forgotten about them.

Only Vidia bowed slightly to the emperor and said quite calmly: "Your Majesty, this banner comes from Lord José in the town of Valuno, as Lord José's attendant, I can only thank you for your kindness for him." It's a pity that the Knight of José did not leave any legitimate blood heirs, I am only an illegitimate son of the Knight, and I have no inheritance power. ”

"Leave your reward to the knights who will continue to serve you. ”

Perris frowned, and was about to say something when his thoughts were interrupted by a panicked sound outside the tent.

Since retreating from the battlefield, the Sward Knight has been in a state of fainting.

According to the judgment of the monks accompanying the army, this is a state of excessive exertion, and he must rest for a while.

It is precisely because of this that there is a situation in which the emperor personally handles military affairs.

The generals all threatened that when the army was in turmoil, it was His Majesty the Emperor's dictatorship that maintained the situation in the empire and saved him from a major defeat.

Therefore, they delegated military power to Peris.

They reported bad news and stupid ideas to the Emperor one after another, just as they had reported to Sword.

Two farmers on horseback shouted loudly outside the tent.

"Brothers, we fought the battlefield, but in the end we were sold!"

"What's going on?" Due to the shortage of manpower and the new defeat of the troops, in order to maintain the order of the army, all the original elite royal guards were sent out to remove them, and they were replaced by only a few sturdy farmers to protect the safety of the emperor and several ministers.

Like this kind of person, on the surface, he can look like him wearing an iron helmet, but as long as someone comes outside, he can only reveal his original form.

Ignoring the fact that the ministers inside and His Majesty the Emperor were discussing the issue, he actually chatted directly with the intelligence officer who sent the message.

"Prussia of the Rhine Kingdom, that shameless old bastard, took advantage of the fact that our army was fighting hard against the barbarians in the swamps of the north, organized a large army, and said that he should be the emperor of all the Prussians, and the current majesty ....... ”

"What happened to that Majesty now?"

"The present Majesty, along with his father and grandfather, has only stolen the crown he deserves!"

When he heard this, the little emperor sitting in the camp tent could no longer hold the shelf.

He stood up from the throne and shouted angrily, "How dare that fellow, who is only a descendant of a groom, say such rude words?" ”

There is a basis for this.

Because the Pruss family originally meant "Wrangler family". However, the ancestors of Prussia were also good at taming horses, and they stole and killed their masters, and then usurped the throne and became the chieftain of the tribe, and later used cavalry to conquer all directions, and finally established the first city of "Great Prussian".

Then he gave a name to the kingdom he had founded, after the city, and then it was named the Kingdom of the Rhine, the first kingdom established by the Great Prussians.

The so-called North Sea Alliance and the Kingdom of Cyporus can only be regarded as very young countries, but the Kingdom of Abbasquia is only ten years later than the Pruss family, and then occupied a fortress called "Abbasquia" that was established during the Solomonic Empire and then abandoned, and then established a new kingdom according to this fortress, which is called "Abbasquia".

For this reason, the people of the Abbasquian kingdom always first call themselves Abbasquians, and then call themselves Purus the Great.

But in any case, it is still a hand slower than the Pruss family in terms of legitimacy.

Including his earliest territory, it was much shorter than the Rhine Kingdom, and it was only by doing some business with the merchants of the Solomon Empire that he slowly accumulated wealth, which led to the story of the later Red Lion Emperor, the three expeditions to invade the Amaxians, and finally became a national hero.

In short, the kingdom of the Rhine occupies the heavens, but the kingdom of Abbasquia has both geographical and human advantages.

However, now, the first emperor has just died, and the Northern Expedition, which the little emperor originally intended to use to consolidate his rule, has fallen into an unfavorable situation, so it is also appropriate for the Kingdom of Prussia to raise the anti-flag at this moment.

Although Perris is only one still alive, how can two farmers withstand the wrath of the emperor?

By the time the childish voice came from the tent, the two peasants fell to their knees, and their bodies trembled.

It wasn't until a long time later that Perris's anger subsided, and then he asked, "Where has the traitor been, has there ever been a threat to the safety of my imperial capital?"

This is a very well-thought-out question.

Because from the Rhine, no matter which way to take, the route to the city of Abbasquia is always closer, and it is more prosperous there, and it is also more advantageous from the point of view of army supply.

But when the soldier looked up, he gave a word that made everyone unbelievable.

"No, my most honorable and orthodox Majesty. I fear that the Lord of your mouth did not go south to our capital, but led a terrible army north. ”

"The traitor is coming at me?

When Perris heard this, he felt a little more at ease, and sat back in his chair.

General Radice Polya took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, the distance from the Rhine to the Northlands is so long that we have already realized it when we came, and it must have been a month or two before the traitor can meet our shadow if he follows this road. ”

"I think that we will now have time to gather our forces again, and send your most loyal messenger to give orders to these great nobles of the Northlands, send troops and food, set out from Sea Castle, and then gather a large army again to deal with them. ”

This is the same vassal from the southern part of the empire, but his land is not on the border between the kingdoms of Abbasquia and the Rhine, but near the kingdom of Cyprus.

Therefore, when the war really started, he had the ability to "stay out of the situation", and therefore made almost the most sober judgment.

Anyway, the war can't ignite his territory no matter what, so he naturally thinks about how good the tactics are.

But to the surprise of the Earl from the South, when he made this suggestion, the generals whose fiefdoms were close to the flames of war did not raise any objections, but only looked at him meaningfully.

This eerie air lasted a little longer.

In the end, it was a general from the north of the empire who solved the doubts in the heart of Lord Count Polya.

"General Polya, if you're just trying to suppress a rebellion, you're undoubtedly a good idea. ”

"But when I came up with a solution, I decided to give you a small reminder that the Empire is not facing a war right now. ”

And the chancellor of the empire couldn't help but cough lightly twice.

Even if he didn't need to speak, everyone understood that after that defeat, the emperor's money bag was probably going to be spent. If the two fronts continue to be maintained, only one more tax will be added.

Vedia couldn't help this oppressive air, he interjected directly: "Why can't we make peace with the monarch of the North? The battle has been fought so far, and the troops on both sides have been greatly damaged, judging from the message brought by their envoys, the Weigand people in the Northland are no longer simple barbarians, they have the constraints of a king, presumably they must be able to live in peace with the empire in the future, and the Weegand people are not very rich in land now, rather than occupying here, it is better to trade with them more profitable." ”

If General Polya only poked the sensitive parts of the empire, then Vidia's words were simply a stab in Peris's wound.

In any case, the Northern Expedition was the first crusade of the empire in the name of the emperor, and the various classes in the empire had already invested a lot of money in this plan, and had already divided some of the eight swamps of the Wiggen people, and now negotiated peace with the Wigand people, I am afraid that all these lands will be returned.

The resentment of the lords of that land alone was enough to tear several ministers and generals present to shreds.

If there was anything more serious, it would affect even the decisions of the southern princes and the kingdom of Cyprus.

In other words, although from a military and economic point of view, it is cost-effective to negotiate peace.

But the art of war lies in the fact that he always gives priority to politics.

And Weidia, who thought too much and didn't have a high enough status, was naturally invited out of the big tent very decently, and by the way, he returned to the light cavalry military power he was in charge before.

After seeing the thoughtful generals in the battalion and the scarred infantry advancing slowly, Vidia finally left the legion, exchanging the quartermaster's look of surprise for several carts of supplies and a hundred or ten wounded soldiers, and then hurried out of the residence for which José's knights had served all their lives.

Perhaps in the eyes of the quartermaster, the collection of such a banner was in itself a matter of great honor, and he himself symbolized supremacy, and the right to rule over a large and rich territory, and when the empire was rich, perhaps the emperor would be gracious enough to paint a territory for the owner of this banner.

But for Vedia, this is nothing compared to a veteran who has retired from the battlefield.

These crippled soldiers had served their emperor and fought bravely on the battlefield, but now, the war was coming to an end for the time being, the empire was defeated, the emperor lost his treasury, the nobles lost their food, and the serfs lost their lives.

If it is a soldier with good hands and feet, there is still a chance to live, although they will be greeted by one war after another, but at least for now, they can still live.

However, if the soldiers who are unfortunately disabled on the battlefield are left behind, when the war situation is good, the empire will always resettle them in some settlements, divide them with land and necessary food, and pay their pensions in advance.

The authorities of the empire are now nervous and can only abandon them temporarily.

And the newly feudal nobles who had welcomed soldiers to stay in the colony were now tearing down every stake they had planted from the swamp.

The territory that used to be developed with loans has now completely proved itself to be a loss-making business.

Even to deal with the damned loan sharks, they have to make a decision now.

After all, if he could tear down a little more and mortgage it to a merchant, his grandson might be able to cut down half a tree less.

Walking along the path of the Great Army's expedition, soldiers were constantly "withdrawn" from the Emperor's legions.

The generals left them with a spear, a shield, enough food for three or four days, and a piece of "inspiring" language, and then led the army out of the land forever.

And from the mouths of these remaining troops, Vedia finally got the Empire's current policy on the war situation.

That is, no peace, no resistance.

The Empire did not give up its claim to the North Sea lands, nor did it end the war relationship with Edward, but it also gave up this front, and fought all the soldiers, and the soldiers that could be mobilized in the Northlands, against the tyrant Prus.

As for what the city should do after being mobilized, it can only be the opinion of Sardinian who has been asked......

Everyone
