Eden. Bell's words silenced both Muse and Williams, and although his words were unpleasant, they were indeed a very real problem.

The heritage of a family is no match for the heritage of an empire, let alone the Church of Nature. Although the Bell family had the upper hand on the battlefield, they were never recognized by the Church of Nature...... The reason is very simple, as a rebel party, the Bell family, until it has obtained official status, the natural church will not recognize the brother.

As the oldest ancient church in the world, and considered a kind of exemplary, the Church of Nature has its own code of conduct, and if they collude with a rebel force, it is definitely against their teachings, and it will not be recognized by the believers, even if they support Archduke Kasef, in other names, not in support of his seizure of power...... Moreover, in the case of the family of the Grand Duke of Cassef, it was nothing more than an infighting with the royal family, not the same thing as a rebellion in the strict sense.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, the purpose of cultivating mage power is to enhance the strength of our family, if you hide behind the scenes all day long because you are afraid of loss and sacrifice, then you will lose the true meaning of cultivating these mages."

An ethereal voice came from outside the door, and the door suddenly opened, and an old man in a magic robe floated in.

"I've seen the Great Elder." The three people in the room saluted at the same time as a sign of respect, and this one who came in was a ninth-level magister, and he was also the great elder of the family, their elder.

"Muse, Eden, you're doing well, it's not easy to train a magician. But the purpose of cultivation is to make them play a role in our family's conquest wars, so you don't need to worry too much. Muse, you have chosen the right timing and caution, now is the time when the empire is at its weakest, and the chaotic situation has caused them to pay more attention to their own great lords of the north, and it will not be easy to turn back against us now. Our Bell family cannot afford to lose this opportunity, defeating the royal family can greatly weaken the confidence of those nobles in Heidelberg, which will be the future development of our Bell family. Create a good situation. ”

The Great Elder's voice was not loud. But the pressure he brought to the three of them was not small, and they all nodded again and again.

"Great Elder, although the Imperial Court Mage Corps has already left for Vermont, the Natural Church will probably not sit idly by and watch the Empire's defeat. There is a good chance that they will join the fight. "Muse. Bell calmed down at this point. With the support of the Great Elders. , he is also a lot more sure in his heart, but as the commander of the Golden Fleece Corps. He needs to be a little more thoughtful.

"The Natural Church is not as powerful as you think, or it is indeed very powerful, but its internal strife has seriously weakened its ability to function, and those who are connected with us do not fully represent the Natural Church, and the Natural Church also has other powerful enemies, maybe in their minds, we are still just ringworm, this is our opportunity, so, as long as you are careful in the war, I believe that the Natural Church will not shift its focus to dealing with us for the time being."

The words of the Great Elder to the Muse. Bell's admiration and respect for the Great Elder made him never doubt the authenticity of the Great Elder's words, and the facts have repeatedly proved the Great Elder's wisdom.

"Thank you to the Great Elder for clearing the fog for us, so that I can carry out this action with confidence and boldness." Muse. Bell showed his courage as the commander of the corps at this time, his eyes were like torches, "Eden, you go to rectify the cavalry immediately, but don't be ostentatious, the preparation of the operation must be highly secretive, I plan to insert the defense line of the Odiga Empire from the west, at that time the cavalry will be used as an assault force to completely defeat the Holy Cross Corps, and then the cavalry will be responsible for clearing the remnants of the imperial forces in the area around Heidelberg, remember, only in the area around Heidelberg, don't be blindly greedy, our primary goal is to take Heidelberg." ”

"Williams, immediately mobilize all forces to find out the defense system in the west of the empire, I need to defeat all the forces of the Otiga Empire in the west in one fell swoop, and I can't let them organize an effective defense, in addition, we must pay close attention to the situation after the court magicians leave Heidelberg, once there is an abnormal change, you must inform me in the shortest possible time, I want you to handle this matter personally, as for the decisive battle, I will personally lead the Golden Fleece Corps and the Ivy Corps as the main force, In addition, Odin will lead the other servant armies to cooperate with me, and I will take Heidelberg in one fell swoop! ”

The Hermes Palace was lit with everlasting lanterns, the dim light disturbed the peace and tranquility in the air, and the huge Emperor's chambers were occupied by two squadrons of royal knights, professional knights with solemn faces, clad in various weapons, standing like sculptures in all corners of the palace.

In the square outside the palace gate, many carriages with merit pendants were parked, and the coachmen gathered around several fire altars near the square to keep warm, and their owners waited for the summons in their respective carriages.

The nobles looked at each other from time to time, but they were destined to be disappointed, there was no sound in the palace of Hermes, there was not even a doorman to report the news, only the improvised fortifications and barricades built by the royal knights.

"When is this going to be?" A big nobleman began to complain.

"Yes! If His Majesty the Emperor wants to leave us, please hurry up......"

"That's right! It's so cold! ”

Ignoring the noise on the left, Hathaway abandoned the carriage at the intersection and walked across the square. Many of the great nobles discovered the marquis, some of whom hurriedly hid in the carriages and closed the curtains, while others immediately greeted him and offered their courtesy and good wishes to the young marquis.

Hathaway greeted the nobles politely, and then calmly left the nobles' surroundings with a sneer on her lips. The time limit for Fiwenlie XVIII has expired...... Maybe it's tonight, maybe it's tomorrow morning.

In short, when the emperor was able to speak, his physician had advised him to give an account of the aftermath.

Seem...... The whole empire was looking forward to this moment. Heidelberg's big bureaucrats and aristocrats gathered in their salons all day long, discussing the decisions of the royal family and complaining about the evil forms of several heirs to the throne. These guys only mention the current emperor when they are extremely bored, and they speak in a frivolous tone. Most of the talk is about His Majesty's entanglement with women and those stupid policies.

Compared with the idle civilian personnel, the military personnel of the empire undoubtedly have the traditional quality of dedication to their jobs. The lights of the military headquarters were kept on all night, and the tactical staff officers with black circles listed various numbers and troop configurations on the sand table, and recorded all possible movements of the rebels on papyrus. The work of the War Department's staff collective was more targeted, figuring out the rebels' strategic intentions from the secret messages reported by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then simulating the dynamic offensive of the Imperial Army and formulating corresponding war arrangements.

Of course, the military department is not monolithic, and there are often two war tactics in the General Staff Headquarters and the Operational Command Center, so fierce quarrels often break out between the two sides. At this time, the generals and colonels of the General Staff will block the entrance to the operational command center. The soldiers crossed their legs and crossed their waists. And then like a teapot, he kept pouring foaming stars on his colleagues.

The War Department will never show weakness, they will clean the door, look at the colleagues of the General Staff with the same eyes as sweeping soldiers, and then return the color to them in the same posture. Until someone stepped in to stop this senseless war.

Usually. Field Marshal Tucker was always there at the right time when both sides were exhausted. The timing was ingenious, and the long squabbles and disagreements had exposed the details of both sides' tactics. The marshal handled it very objectively, without any bias and subjective opinions at all. He would ask the General Staff to apologize to the War Department for its mistakes, and he would also make the War Department bow to the superior plan of the General Staff Headquarters, but in short, the marshal won the respect of both sides, and the old marshal still maintained his former prestige and demeanor.

In the end, the busiest group of people in the metropolitan circle finally appeared, Berenni. It is somewhat unbelievable that Hoss has not appeared since the royal family published the notice of his Eighteenth Majesty's critical illness. The Imperial Police was not only responsible for law and order, but also for internal espionage, but no one really knew about Bereni during this time. Earl Hoth was busy with something, and some even suspected that he was not Hathaway at all.

Actually, Berenny. Hoss reported to the Hermes Palace every day, and although the emperor was not very conscious, the police chief liked to nag something to his majesty. If there are outsiders present at this time, then it will definitely be Berenni. The inside story of Hoss's nagging scared me to death.

"Unexpected! If it weren't for my investigators' habit of digging into the bottom of the matter, I believe no one would have known about it! ”

Emperor to Berenny. Hoss nodded weakly, his eyes sunken, his face dark, his lips pale, as if only a flowing gaze could prove that his vitality was still there.

"Both...... Is it arranged? ”

"Yes! Rest assured! There is human and physical evidence, and everything will be exposed in broad daylight. ”

Fivinlie XVIII smiled and nodded, and he opened his arms to the close ministers who had followed him for many years. Hoss hurriedly greeted him, he hugged the emperor's thin body tightly, he thought about it, His Majesty the Eighteenth had not done such a thing for many years.

The emperor patted Berenny. Hoss's shoulder, signaling that he could let go, so Berenny. Hoss carefully lifted His Majesty the Emperor to the pillow. The monarchs and ministers began to look at each other, and finally the emperor suddenly smiled.

"Berenny, how do you take care of it? How many years? Why are you always so miserable? ”

The police commissioner had to smile bitterly, "My majesty, if I hadn't looked so miserable, we would all be in trouble." ”

"Huh! Indeed it is! “

The Emperor's smile suddenly became unusually stiff, and he twisted his entire face together. He struggled to pull his arm out of the futon, and he pressed hard against his liver, the pain causing him to hiss.

"Do you want to call a doctor?" Berenny. Hoss pressed the Emperor's arm hard, he was saddened, His Majesty the Eighteenth was his master.

"No...... There's nothing left to do about that waste! Give me the anesthetic. ”

"Your Majesty......" Berenny. Hoss hesitantly took the potion bottle that was placed at the head of the bed, "This thing won't do you any good. ”

"I know...... Thank you! ”

Fivinel XVIII took the flask, opened it, took a few sips, and then leaned back to his pillow contentedly.

"Go, Berenny! There's nothing to worry about...... Thank you for everything you have done for me. The Emperor squeezed out an ugly smile to the Chief of Police. Hoss looked away immediately after first glance.

"Oh my God! What has the disease tormented you! ”

"That's not bad! I'm old enough to get a new owner for the Empire......"

Berenny. Hoss patted the Emperor's hand, he was surprised that he had never done this before, "Won't you let me stay with you a little longer?" ”

Fivinel XVIII shook his head, "Will you go to hell with me?" You just stay and take care of Heidelberg. Go Berenny, those guys out there can't wait! ”

Berenny. Hoss looked at the living Emperor one last time, though he was getting closer and closer to death.

What should we think of this?

Berenny. Hoss didn't quite know. His father was the police chief of His Majesty Fiwenlie XVII, and when he came to Fiwenlie XVIII, he became himself. He has served the royal family all his life, and when he thinks about it, he really didn't ask the emperor for anything. Berenny. Huo Si couldn't help but raise his head when he thought of this, and he walked out of the emperor's bedroom with an easy gait, because he was definitely the number one loyal servant of the Feiwenlie Dynasty.

Hathaway nearly collided with the police commissioner when he entered the foyer of the castle, and without even thinking about it, he slammed Berennie. Hothra to the end of the secluded hallway.

"Hey! Dear Earl, we are old friends. ”

The police commissioner smiled bitterly, he was not so blessed, "My Marquis, just say it, there is a price to pay for friendship with you." I know that. ”

The Marquis of Cordillera rolled her eyes, her voice lowered, "Is it tomorrow?" Or is it the day after tomorrow? ”

Berenny. Hoss looked around, and there were some royal knights who couldn't speak even if they kicked it," said the doctor...... It's hard to survive until tomorrow! ”

"So fast?" Hathaway's face immediately became extremely difficult to look at.

"What can I do, this has gone only the gods can decide the earth's affairs! Those doctors simply didn't have any countermeasures. ”

"Who is in His Majesty's Underground Palace now?" Hathaway asked, a little worried.

"It's His Highness Dietrich." Berenny. Hoss replied.

Hathaway nodded, got out of the way, and watched the police commissioner leave.

Although she did not have a good impression of His Majesty the Emperor, his presence could ease the pressure on the Cordillera, and if he died, if the successor did not have kindness to the Cordillera, she would have a hard time...... "I hope things will go as His Highness Dietrich wants." (To be continued......)
