Personal feelings, we must work hard for the revival of the country.
At the same time, the armistice brought about by the new foreign minister of the Kingdom of Albion was also introduced.
The Republic of Albion has fallen, and the war with Torristeen has ended. For the Republic of Albion, right

The news spread from the royal capital to all the cities, and everywhere it went, the people cheered and reveled, gathered to drink, and sang and danced.
Keeping the enemy out of the country, the victory of the war has made the centripetal force of the people more and more cohesive
Come with more confidence, praise the reign of Queen Anrietta, and praise the blessing of the ancestors.
But now, the joy of victory has not yet dissipated, and Goria, one of the largest powers on the mainland, brazenly turned to it
Risteen declares war.
The Republic of Albion had a secret agreement with Goria to advance and retreat together, and the Republic is now known as Toristine
And the fall, raise troops to ask Torristeen to make a full promise.
This extinct country, even if there is any agreement, should be nullified. It's Goria's excuse, but even so
At this point, Torristeen was helpless.
Toristine's indignant protests didn't make Goria change his mind. Romani from the Papal States of war
Jagchen sent envoys to convince King Goria to stop the war, but Joseph, known as the "Incompetent King", did not
Summons the envoy and drives him out of the palace.
So the Romanian envoy turned to Toristine.
Anrietta received the envoy alone in the main hall of the royal palace.
It was a handsome man, with straight blond hair, red in his left eye and a clear blue in his right.
"Giulio Cesare, Romanian priest and envoy of the Papal States, meet Queen Anrietta, may the first ancestor be preserved
Protect the Queen. ”
Julio stepped forward and knelt on the ground and kissed the back of Anrietta's outstretched hand.
"Foreign Secretary, please get up, I wonder if the envoy has brought the will of the Holy Emperor?"
Anrietta asked as she withdrew her hand.
Julio informs him of the failure to convince Goria.
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor has always adhered to the teachings of the ancestors and maintained the peace and balance of the continent. Torristeen and Albi
We did not intervene in the war of Ang, because the two countries are similar in national strength, and neither can completely defeat the opponent. ”
Angeletta nodded slightly, acquiescing to this statement.
"Goria and Kermania are the two strongest countries on the continent, and there are two or three other countries in any one
The strength of the alliance, if there is an all-out war, I am afraid that the Toristine country will not last long. ”
"Even so, I, Toristine, will fight to the end to protect the land and its people from infringement."
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
"The two kingdoms of Torristeen and Albion have been united for the past six thousand years
If they were attacked by Goria or Rome, they would help each other, so that they could survive the oppression of the great powers. now
, Albion was destroyed and restored, because of the great loss of military strength in the two civil wars, there was no spare strength to help Torristin. ”
"If Goria is allowed to defeat Toristine, and then engulf the now weak Albion, it will take ten to twenty
Years of digestion, the strength of Goria, I am afraid that he can completely defeat in Kermania, and then the small Romania will not have it
The law was spared. ”
"Priest, you're too pessimistic." Anrietta frowned.
"No, it's true. Romania has churches in various countries and also pays attention to gathering information about those in power. The Incompetent King
Joseph, this is a cruel man who can poison his own brother to ascend to the throne and persecute his niece. On the surface, it doesn't seem to be
political achievements, but has been secretly developing military power and developing military technology. How much strength does Goria have now, even then
I don't know Romania either. ”
"Could it be that I, Toristin, have no way to repel Goria's invasion?"
"Next is the point, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is willing to help Torristeen fight off Goria. But at the price, hope to trust
Ristins relinquished command and placed His Majesty the Holy Emperor in command of the armies of the two countries. ”
An Rieta's face sank: "I'm sorry, priest, I can't agree to this condition. ”
"Your Majesty, that's what Her Majesty the Holy Emperor means, I hope you think about it."
"Got it, step aside, priest."
"The minister retired." Julio leaves the palace.
Only Angeleta was left in the dangling hall.
She leaned over the cold throne and couldn't help but cry.
"Father, Mother, Haotian, I, what should I do?"
The war with Albion, and now the declaration of war by the continental power Goria. I'm Torris
Ting is really a lot of disasters, can I protect Torlistine? Why did you leave me like that, Haotian?
It has always been with you to help me, so that I can defeat the minister and control the country; We can survive it at the lowest cost
Aggression of the Republic of Albion. Now that Goria is calling, what should I do? Tell me, Haotian.
A low cry of falling sobs rang out, and only when she was alone could Anrietta release her weakness in this way
。 After about ten minutes, Anrietta suppressed her crying, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and took a deep, deep breath.
"Anicos. Anicos!! ”
The captain of the musket team heard the call and walked in through the door.
Anrietta has pulled herself together.
"Go, get all the ministers here."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I'm not going to throw in the towel, I swore to protect Toristine, not even Goria.
Angeletta told herself.
Please bless me, Haotian.

At the same time, with a faint hope, the head of the Ottoman Academy sent an envoy to Kermania in the hope of persuasion
