The news of Marshal Cripp's entry into the city of Råm soon reached the ears of Emperor Tamborance. Before retreating to the port of Banderore, King Richard of Hope sent a letter to Illos and General Wellington, asking them to convey his displeasure to the Emperor.

The two generals did not dare to slack off, and the starry night sent someone to inform the emperor in the city of Frante. When Deliot got the book, he was furious and scolded King Richard and the Pope all of them.

Loyle persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty, it is useless to talk too much now, you should order the Duke of Borot and others to advance as soon as possible, and take Marshal Kripp by surprise while his foothold is not stable, if you hesitate, I am afraid it will be delayed for a long time." ”

"There is infighting among the Dessertes, and it seems that our Tamborance Empire will follow in their footsteps. King Richard acted like this, he really didn't take me, the emperor, in his eyes, and deceived people too much!"

"Your Majesty, the country of Hope has not been much entangled by the mainland empire since ancient times, and this time Richard came to assist in the capture of Roma City, also for the sake of Bojiao's face. We can keep this account in mind first, and then deal with it after it is disposed of in advance. ”

"Richard's affairs can be endured, those old men of the Holy See are so ignorant, do they really think that I Deliot is afraid!"

"Your Majesty, although there are many followers of the Liberal Religion, if there is no one to organize it, then it will not pose any threat. The papal nuncia is far away in the southern frontier of the empire, and there is a young cardinal named Valentine who remains behind, and the rest of the important figures of the Holy See are all following the Pope, and it is not in our interest that they are now retreating with Richard. Your Majesty can order people to proclaim to the world the treachery and weakness of the Holy See, and crush the potential power of the Holy See, which is indeed a golden opportunity. ”

"I've heard that Cripple was so powerful that Richard had hoped to kill or capture him, but the Barbarian Marshal escaped with such an incredible sheer that he escaped easily. ”

"Your Majesty, you want to talk about the rumors of the Mind Flayer that have been raging lately. This is the most popular joke among the Desserts. In the humble opinion of the ministers, this matter is absurd. How could the huge Orentt Empire be made like this by these monsters in such a scarce number? Take 10,000 steps back and say, since the Mind Flayer wants to eat his brain, why should he smash the rice bowl that has already been reached? This is obviously not logical. The Desserts may have had other ulterior motives in doing so. For now, it should be those black-robed mages who deliberately exaggerated in order to bring down Marshal Cripp. In the long run, I think it is because they are afraid of the great power of the Tamborance Empire and the wisdom of Your Majesty, and these northerners are trying to fool Your Majesty by trying to survive and make a false peace in their favor. The Mind Flayer is just an excuse for the two parties to sit down and live in peace and fight together. ”

The Emperor shook his head and said, "Our empire has two-thirds of the vast fertile land of the Bodi Continent, and I am not interested in those northern permafrost of the Deset. On the contrary, the abundance of principalities within the empire is what makes me feel distressed. People say that I, Deliot, am ruthless and trying to be an autocratic and centralized emperor like the Guvien Empire. You, Royle, should know me, these titles, titles, and rights are fleeting, and what I am pursuing is not a momentary thing, but a bright future for the whole of Tamborance. Those dukes and counts are virtuous and upright on the surface, but behind the scenes, they all only play their own small calculations, and they are all more cunning than me Deliot. They use liberal democracy to secure their position and liberal democracy to oppress their subjects. What I want to do now is to reverse this situation, but unfortunately no one in the world can understand my heart. ”

When Loyle heard this, he felt a little unable to answer for a moment. It is never easy to guess the emperor's thoughts, his words can be true today, and tomorrow they may be ancient. He couldn't trust the emperor's sincerity, but he couldn't show the slightest disdain.

Del T.L. saw the old man's thoughts, and he said with a rare wry smile: "If you want to achieve great things, you must ignore the small sections." Richard and Damasus are still admirable guys, but they all stick to a certain bottom line and dare not cross it, resulting in ambitions that cannot be realized. What I want to do is to concentrate on achieving my goals even if I am scolded by the world. When the time comes, when the world is really peaceful, they will know that I am good!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" these four words of Loyle are concise and to the point, and fully reflect his strength as a confidant.

"It doesn't really mean anything special to take or not to take the city of Roma, but it shows the fragility of our empire. Except for you and Borot, the six Electors are all ghostly and sweet-mouthed. Our empire has a large shelf in the air, and there is no actual flesh and blood connection. If it weren't for the Dessert people taking the lead in infighting this time, I'm afraid the result would be really hard to say. ”

Loyle nodded again and again, but when he heard Borot's name, he still couldn't help frowning, he thought that the emperor was about to be released, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, knowing people and faces but not hearts, it is difficult to draw tigers and skins, Borot is old and thoughtful, although he actively responded to the call of the empire this time, but he did not do much. This must have been deliberately done by him in order to preserve his strength, Your Majesty must not be careless!"

Del Twiel looked at Loyle from head to toe, and suddenly laughed and said, "The so-called success is also its own person, and the defeat is also its own person." Borot, like Richard, Damassus, and others, was too upright, and it would only be a great obstacle to my career, but it would not promote it. Even if you want to win allies, it will definitely not be them. ”

When Loyle heard this, he let go of his hanging heart a little, and he struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, the son of Duke Borot has already sent the whole country on an expedition to the Duchy of Kentan, and it is said that the city of Solo is almost unguarded at this time. Why don't we seize the moment and take a salary?"

"That Albert, I really underestimated him. Although the city of Solo is rich, it has no danger to defend, so it is better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death. He is now leading his army westward, leaving an empty city for us, just to throw stones and ask for directions, to see what we do next, and then to make plans. If we do it now, we will give him an excuse and give the whole empire a chance to take advantage of it. Now the correct approach should be to respond to all changes with the same, sit firmly in the Diaoyutai and wait and see the follow-up development. ”

"Your Majesty, what should Iros and General Wellington do?"

"Although Marshal Cripple has recaptured the city of Rûm, he still has his own people behind him. Now you should concentrate all your strength, try your best to attack, and you have to suppress him from the momentum. ”

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Borot ......"

"The first few times, we just focused too much on this aspect, which caused the war to drag on for so long. This is not the situation I want to see. The Borot principality, of course, must be within our grasp, and since it cannot be solved on the battlefield, it will be left to the political settlement later. This would also hold back the Albert who had gone west, and let him fight hard for the cause of the empire for a while. ”

"Your Majesty, that young man has a great strategist under his command, aren't you afraid that he will surprise us and quickly capture the country of Kentan?"

"He is a soldier in the name of the Empire, and after taking the city, he should return it to me. If something happens, we have a mouthful. Take 10,000 steps back and say, we will not suffer a loss by exchanging the trade-developed Solo City for a Kentan country. I was sure that as long as his father hadn't had an accident, he would have held back. Chances are, we just have to be patient. ”

"Your Majesty, having said that, if Albert goes here to establish meritorious deeds, won't it increase the morale of others and destroy the prestige of our family?"

"Whether you are majestic or not depends on whether you have real power. Deliot patted Loyle on the shoulder and said, the old man immediately understood, which meant that as long as his emperor was there, those dukes and counts with their own ghosts were like a plate of scattered sand, and they had no power to fight back.

The prime minister, Carignan, also hurried over at this time, and before he had time to salute the emperor, he cried out loudly: "Your Majesty, the situation in the city of Roma can be described as changeable, and it is said that the Marshal Cripple has recaptured the city. We should now storm the city and not give him a respite. ”

Deliot smiled and said, "Teacher, you're late this time, and I've already received a letter from Richard." He accused our empire of not keeping its word and not doing its work. ”

"Your Majesty, Richard and the others live on a small island, and they are not afraid, they come and go in a hurry. Roma City has to be won now, otherwise the efforts of more than half a year will be in vain. ”

"Prime Minister. "In your opinion, how can you take this city as quickly as possible?"

"We should send someone to bypass Rom City and get in touch with the black-robed mages of Ilbresa, with our Tamborance attacking with all our might in front and their black-robed in the back. ”

"Prime Minister, it's not easy to get around Rom City. This is a natural pass, and on both sides are uninhabited peaks covered with snow all year round. Moreover, once the matter is delayed for a long time, it will lose its meaning. ”

Dillo nodded and said, "What you two said is very reasonable, I have already figured this matter out." Inside and outside are inevitably indispensable. Naturally, I have some arrangements for the interior of the city of Roma. The teacher said that the idea of contacting the Black Robe Club was good, but it could not be effectively realized. Stand down, I'm going to think about it. ”

Defot's Neiying was of course referring to Hyde, the owner of the Hiccup Dragon Tavern. This benevolent brother is exquisite, simple and unpretentious in appearance, and even a little wooden, he is left and right for business, no one can be offended, and anyone can make friends. At present, this person has become the most important chess piece in the emperor's mind.
