CHAPTER XIII

The emperor's mind is unfathomable. The president of the Imperial Diet, before the start of this seminar, actually visited the emperor, and the emperor was "approved".

And now, when the discussion has reached a critical time, the emperor is ...... The president of the council and the council can only eat coptis dumbly, and they don't dare to quarrel with the emperor at the meeting. It is impossible, this is the emperor's mind, the emperor has a more profound arrangement, and the mortals of the council cannot understand it......

And, if it is revealed at the seminar, the emperor and the parliament have already reached an agreement before the discussion. Isn't that directly aimed at the representatives of the aristocracy? It's like telling them, "This discussion has actually been decided, it's just a formality, you just vote to pass it, and then have an imperial state banquet together after the vote, what should you do......?"

If you do that, after the nobles go home, they will definitely bring a large number of people to the imperial capital again, and it will not be a state banquet that can be invited away (so many people can't afford to be invited......

In short, the plan of the parliamentary side, due to the temporary ...... of the emperor No, it was vetoed by the representatives of the nobility due to poor consideration.

Immediately afterwards, the representatives of the nobility also began to come up with their plans, well, their own plans - each of them had a plan that he thought was good......

Some nobles thought that the nobles of that place should be allowed to send troops to guard Versailles; some nobles said that instead of guarding Versailles, it was better to send troops directly and capture a piece of land on the opposite side of the Warcraft Forest, which could be used as a tuntian land for the guards; and some nobles planned to let his private soldiers guard it, and he could solve the logistics himself. Even in the end, there was a new young nobleman, and he proposed to directly destroy the canyon where Versailles was located and directly close the canyon, so that there was no need to think about the security work and logistics......

The aristocratic representative party, the number of people is the largest in the discussion, but I didn't expect that even the proposed plan is also the most of them, varied, varied, everywhere revealing the idea of pursuing various interests and avoiding paying. At last glance, the plan to destroy the canyon seems to be the least pursued......

At the end of the discussion, the biggest nobleman of the empire, Oslan Frederick, spoke openly, and the other nobles also stopped talking with interest. Just listening to the two lips of the Grand Duke touch, it made all the nobles first startled, and then unanimously agreed.

He said "I beg the Emperor to adjudicate!", which the parliament could not refute......

In the voice of the nobles who followed the Grand Duke's "Please ask the emperor to ruling", the emperor spoke in an extremely majestic voice: "When the empire was first established, it was determined that the national border was guarded by the national soldiers, and the aristocratic jurisdiction was guarded by its private soldiers.

The emperor first started with the "Covenant" signed by the ancestors and nobles who established the empire, and then said categorically: "The fortress of Versailles is the gate of the northwest country, the key gate of defense, and the key gate to attack the orcs when my empire is strong!"

"The national soldiers guard the border fortress, and the nobles support the logistics, this is the foundation of the glory of my empire! When it comes to my generation, I am so selfish, do you care about the gains and losses?" The emperor simply said a few words, and he used the surface to be serious, and the inside was tactful to oppose the plans of all the nobles.

In the end, the emperor ruled that the Versailles logistics brigade was to be recruited by the nobles' private soldiers and local soldiers, and after the conscription was completed, it was transferred to the national army, and the officers were sent by the imperial capital, and the rest was carried out according to the parliamentary plan......

Isn't this the result of the plan proposed by the Parliament, but it is just an addition that makes all the Versailles troops a national soldier, but in the end it becomes the "verdict" of the emperor.

There is also the first statement of Archduke Frederick, it is obvious that he is "in cahoots" with the emperor in private, and this situation all shows a certain attitude of the emperor, the attitude towards the parliament, and the attitude towards the power of the emperor. The emperor wants to get rid of parliament again and gain the right to adjudicate the affairs of the state! and maybe even more......

The people in the council couldn't understand it at the time, but they figured it out afterwards. But wasn't the purpose of the establishment of the parliament to limit the power of the emperor? Should we let the "death of the empire" incident befall the Atlantan Empire again? History has proven that the excessive power of the emperor, especially the control of military power, will make the empire face the danger of annihilation!

Wasn't the occurrence of the "Death of the Empire" that the reigning emperor at that time sent national soldiers indiscriminately and fought everywhere, making the people of the empire miserable and the enemy country attacking from both sides?

From then on, the Parliament became wary of the Emperor, and the Emperor and the Parliament gradually became incompatible......

It was dusk, the fortress of Versailles was shrouded in a dim light, and the soldiers who had stood guard for a day and those who had just changed shifts looked a little lazy, and some soldiers were still gathering together to talk about something.

At this time, a group of men and horses came from the south to the north, and they seemed much more energetic than the other soldiers. This group of men and horses, every four people in a small marching procession, each has a war horse (two war horses for each of the cavalry team), and they ride on the war horse, which is even more imposing.

When this group of people passed by the soldiers of other brigades, the other soldiers did not consciously back down, and some of them also knew the soldiers in this team, and he would proudly say to the people around him: "Look at that! He used to be in our group! (A brigade is generally divided into two detachments, and below the detachment are each group, which is equivalent to a regiment ~ company ~ squad.) )”

This team of men and horses is the Ranger Brigade that is supposed to guard the south gate. They received orders from Captain Payne to take over the defense of the north gate of Versailles. Although there were many strange things about this order, the Ranger Brigade, which usually emphasizes discipline, still obeyed Captain Payne's order: the whole team was fully armed and immediately took over the defense of the North City.

Because there were no clear instructions in the order on how to go to the north gate, the two detachment commanders who stayed behind privately decided to march to the north gate with great fanfare. In any case, they are all inside their own fortresses, and there is certainly no external enemy factor, and as soon as the internal enemy is made, the petty soldiers and petty officers will definitely not dare to stop them.

As for the big people who have opinions about the Rangers, it will be a while for them to know the news, not to mention, if they want to stop the Rangers, they must mobilize some troops before they dare to come.

This can make a time difference, and when they reflect, the Ranger Brigade has already arrived at the North Gate.

When he saw the outline of the North City Gate, Raul Ostrovsky, the leader of the second detachment in charge of this operation, finally breathed a sigh of relief, this was the first time he independently led the entire brigade to operate, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. The soldiers of this brigade are all powerful, this must be admitted, but it must also be admitted that their unruliness is also not found in other brigades.

"Report! At the end of the marching army, the leader of the first detachment sent a message!" A signal soldier riding a black war horse, when he was only a few steps away from the leader of the Raul detachment, very dexterously stopped his horse and dismounted, and the movements were done in one go.

"Wait......" Captain Raul thought for a moment and said, "Just show it to me." ”

"Yes!" After the signal soldier replied, he immediately took out the untied letter from his bosom and handed it to the detachment leader with both hands.

Although the papermaking technology of the Atlantan Empire was not as skilled as that of the Xia Dynasty and the Hua Empire, it was also ranked high in the world, and paper was also used in all aspects of the empire.

The detachment leader waved his hand to the signal soldier and asked him to leave, and checked whether the lower lacing was standard (each social group and each unit has a different lacing style and standard, for example, civilians can only wear a single-line gray lacing, while the royal family has a five-line gold lacing. (Every official letter will have a sticker-like thing in it, and it can't be put on again after it is opened.) )。

After confirming that it was correct, the leader of the detachment opened the scroll of the letter and read it, which roughly meant that the first detachment leader was at the end of the marching procession, and found that there were men and horses from other brigades in the fortress, and in the large-scale cluster, except for the mage team and the pro-soldier team, the other brigades of the fortress had already appeared! At the end, the first detachment leader also agreed with the second detachment leader, before the action, a point of view: the captain mobilized the "rangers", not to defend the enemy outside the fortress, but to defend the fortress inside!

The second captain of the second detachment had a serious expression, and watched as the team was about to pass through a city wall inside the fortress, and after passing this city wall, it was the north gate tower (in addition to the north and south gate walls in Versailles, there are also narrow city walls distributed in the same way as the north and south gates, there are four, but they are not as tall as the city tower, and there are no internal combat facilities like the city tower, and the door opening under the narrow city wall is not closed during the war period. As if he had made up his mind, the captain clenched his fist with his right hand.

"Signal Corps! Send an order, order the second detachment 1.2.3.4.5 group, expel the other soldiers of this section of the city wall, and take over the city wall! Order the other troops to speed up the passage!"

On the other side, the first detachment leader took a group of soldiers to hide in a house on the edge of the second narrow city wall, watching more and more soldiers gather outside, he was still a little anxious, he turned back to the leader of this group and complained: "Send a message to make such trouble, look, delay that, we can't get out!"

"Squad leader, the situation is very special now, if you don't send a message by writing a letter, it will be true in the future. "This team leader is dressed as a ninja, and his profession should be a double-sword assassin, which is not much different from Russell's shadow assassin before, although they are all assassin professions, but the shadow is used in various ways to sneak attack (even including poisoning), and the double-sword assassin lacks to rely on "double swords" - kill the enemy with a sword, if you can't be an enemy, when it is dangerous, you will also use a sword to commit suicide, so as to ensure that some secrets are not revealed.

When the team leader saw the captain's disdainful expression, he continued to explain: "We use stationery to transmit information, which can be kept on file in the brigade, if this accident finally ends with the victory of the "Ranger", the letterhead can prove that we have contributed to the team, and if we fail, it can also prove that we are just coercing, especially this sentence 'The captain mobilized the rangers, not to prevent the enemy outside the fortress, but to defend the inside of the fortress!'" , this sentence not only shows that it was the captain who took the lead in making trouble, but also showed that the second captain judged the captain's intention to make trouble, and he still took us to meet the captain!"

When the captain of the first detachment heard this, he was stunned and laughed: "You are still a clever fellow! Otherwise, you will really fall into the pit! Now it seems that we just need to stay here until the matter is over." ”

The other three team members around him also complimented at this time: "The team leader is far-sighted, we admire him!", "The team leader is smart and witty!", "The team leader is amazing!

Hearing the last compliment, the team leader began to be embarrassed by the team leader, and said with a red face: "It's the team leader who is in good command." ”......
