Hathaway didn't have much affection for the Otiga Empire, whether it was His Majesty the Emperor Fervin Eighteen, or Dietrich and others, all of them were just using themselves, Hathaway never thought that Fervenville XVIII would sincerely appreciate herself, and her performance would never satisfy them, and she was able to get a temporary control of the northern part of the province of Cerf that she had spent a lot of money on public relations.

But now the empire is related to the survival of the Cordillera Territory, he has completely torn his face with Archduke Cassef, there is no room for reconciliation, sooner or later they will have to do it to themselves, they have already passed the two levels by luck, good luck will not accompany them forever, if you want to give yourself more time to breathe, you have to rely on the empire, and now if the empire is not guaranteed, it means that your foundation is also shaking.

If the Empire is to continue to support itself, even if it is morally supported, it must be sustained, and even a weak central government of the Empire can go a long way in alleviating the current predicament of the Cordillera Territory.

At this point, Hathaway has seen it clearly, but what to do next, Hathaway has not had a clear direction for a while, this kind of thing is a little too complicated for the inexperienced Hathaway, and the complex factional struggles within the center of the empire and the mountains they own will not disappear because of the crisis faced by the empire, and maybe in some cases it will be more profound.

After defeating the army of the province of Casev, Hathaway was thinking about this and initiated support for the Empire. And the arrival of Dietrich undoubtedly provided a better opportunity, and with him came Leonardo. Beirut. As a sign of solemnity, Hathaway specially received distinguished guests from afar at Perseus Castle.

Dietrich and Leonardo. Beirut looked thoughtfully at the interior of the castle, simple and unpretentious, without too many fancy decorations, except for the large enough area, everything else was in Dietrich and Leonardo, who were accustomed to seeing the rich lords showing off their mansions. In Beirut's eyes, this was indeed a surprise to them, and the only spectacular building in the castle was the only one of the more spectacular. It's the quaint Mage Tower.

"How. Your Highness and Your Excellency the Marquis, you seem to be interested in this castle of mine? Hathaway smiled and accompanied the two on the tree-lined path.

"Oh, Your Excellency the Marquis, I have brought you His Majesty's Order of Commendation. Thank you for your contribution in times of crisis for the Empire. ”

Dietrich watched the other man carefully. He said quite sincerely: "Your Excellency the Marquis of Beirut and I are surprised that your residence still retains its simple nature. Personally, I prefer a beautiful environment and food, but in terms of the current situation. I have to admit that you do it better than anyone else. ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, you are too awarded, I don't think everything I have done is worthy of your praise, to be honest, although everything I have done is also for the Empire, but also for myself, I don't want to hide this, there is no Cordillera Collar without the Empire, I know this very well, so, I did something within my ability, I hope to be able to help the Empire."

Hathaway behaved in the same decent, standard aristocratic dialogue style, which made Dietrich and Leonardo, accustomed to this kind of life. Beirut is at ease...... It's just that Hathaway doesn't think much of her words in her heart, she is really not picky about the living environment, but in terms of diet, she is absolutely unambiguous.

With his hand gently rubbing the hilt of the pure gold longsword at his waist, Dietrich pondered how to get down to business, this time he came for a more complicated purpose, the situation of the empire is quite bad, although with Hathaway's appeal and support, the small and medium-sized nobles of the empire have also given full support, but the four major lords have remained unusually silent, if the major families in the northwest are because they need to face the orc empire directly, then the performance of the archduke of Erabeni and the archduke of Casif is worrying.

At this time, without the support of those big lords, just relying on these small and medium-sized lords, the empire will inevitably decline or even collapse, although these small and medium-sized nobles of the empire are now showing an attitude of supporting the center of the empire, but it is difficult to say what their attitude will be when the big lords tear their faces with the empire, and now such a strange situation is enough to prove that those big lords really have the intention to push the empire to a desperate situation.

Among the many small and medium-sized lords, the Cordillera Lords are faintly on par with the big ones...... Dietrich knew that His Majesty the Emperor had previously suppressed the Cordillera Collar, but judging from Hathaway's reaction, she still showed goodwill towards the center of the Empire. This may not prove her loyalty, but at least it does mean that she needs the support of the Imperial Center. And now it's the only thing that the center of the empire can get its hands on.

Although the Empire can also get the support of the surrounding allies, the allies will never participate in the internal affairs of the Empire, although the rebel attacks have been contained, if the Great Lords join forces, even the orthodox Fivinlie family may be overthrown, the reason is that the invasion of the underground races and the rebellion of the rebels have caused the Empire to suffer serious losses.

And now in order to prevent the empire from being overwhelmed by the rebels and the big lords, the empire must find ways to weaken the momentum of the big lords, and only by constantly weakening and suppressing the momentum of the big lords, so that the small and medium lords can unite under the central banner of the empire, the empire may have a chance to stand up again.

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I heard in Heidelberg that the province of Cassef had recently launched an attack on the Cordillera, but I have traveled all the way and do not seem to see any traces of war, so I wonder if this is true?" Dietriche Heath repeatedly felt that it was more appropriate to cut straight to the point, he and Hathaway had been working together for a long time, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing.

The rebels were nothing in the eyes of the Empire, and if they didn't conquer the central provinces in one go, it meant that there was little more to spare, as long as the lords didn't join them...... In Dietrich's view, this possibility may have existed in the early days of the war. But the Great Lords would never allow the rebels to occupy the Central Province, the richest part of the Empire. Now His Majesty the Emperor is to use all the available forces to curb the arrogance of the great lords, let them restrain somewhat, and boost the morale of the central side of the empire is the most important thing.

"Your Highness has heard about it too? On the other hand, the Amakusa Legion of the Kasef Province launched an attack on the northern part of the Kasef Province in an attempt to occupy it, but they were defeated, and it was my duty to protect the territory temporarily entrusted to me by the Empire. I have always respected Grand Duke Kaseff, but I regret to put a stop to his blatant defiance of the laws of the Empire. It's just that the way of stopping it is a little unpleasant for him. Hathaway smiled slightly.

Hathaway's words came out. Dietrich and Leonardo. Beirut immediately understood the mystery of the battle, and this battle must have been the defeat of the Archduke Kasef's side, and Dietrich knew something about the power of the Grand Duke Kasef...... In the battle with the underground coalition, although Grand Duke Kasef lost part of his land. However, it retains a relatively complete military force. Especially the Amakusa Corps. It can be said that it is an important force under the Grand Duke of Casev.

Moreover, it is impossible for the knights and mages under Grand Duke Casev not to follow up, in the face of such a strong strength. Hathaway said 'stop' lightly, I don't know how many people's eyeballs will be shocked?!

See Dietrich's light blue eyes and Leonardo. Beirut's dark gray eyes were full of inquiry, and Hathaway knew that her words had piqued their interest, "The Amakusa Legion, the Knights, and the Mages are no longer there, Gullie. Fei Wenlie accidentally died in the chaos ......"

"Huh?!"

Half-surprised, half-unbelieving look at the same time in Dietrich and Leonardo. The faces of the two Beirut people rose, how could the army of the Grand Duke of Kasef be defeated so badly?

Even the Knights and Mages were wiped out?

This is an exciting event, and it seems that the marquis cultivated by His Majesty the Emperor at the beginning really played a role, that is, in the northern part of the province of Caself, the Grand Duke of Casev has no control...... If all this that the other party said was true, then what prestige did Grand Duke Cassef have in the eyes of those small and medium-sized lords?

"Why, don't you believe me?"

Hathaway saw the suspicion in the other party's eyes, and smiled brightly and showed snow-white teeth: "Maybe it's my luck, I wiped out the mage regiment in the Kasef Province by chance, and we ambushed the Amakusa army in the Rattlesnake Canyon and caught them off guard."

Dietrich and Leonardo. Of course, the two of Beirut will not believe that things will be so simple, Grand Duke Casif is a side branch of the royal family, which has been passed down in the province of Casev for more than ten generations, with deep roots, complete infantry, knights and magicians, there is no problem at all to deal with the Cordillera Territory, the only possibility is that there is some accident, but even if there is an accident, it is impossible to be defeated so easily.

But looking at Hathaway's demeanor when talking about this matter, it doesn't seem like she's talking about it, and it's hard to delve into the inside story, as long as Archduke Carsel is defeated, it's exciting news, which will relieve the pressure on the empire to a great extent. And Hathaway's performance is to support the most powerful middle and small lords of the empire, this strong contrast is of course a great encouragement for the small and medium-sized nobles, and the big lords are nothing great, they are just some strong guys, even a new lord like Cordillera can defeat them, what is impossible?

"Oh, this is really good news to congratulate and deserve to write about, and it is understandable that the Grand Duke of Cassef is reluctant to make a statement, why hasn't His Excellency the Marquis not publicized it?" Dietrich asked, frowning as much as he could.

"Oh, Your Highness, please understand my distress, after all, we are all subjects of the empire now, and in the current situation, it is not good to make a big publicity." Hathaway was quite low-key, and her tone was very sincere.

Trick the undead!

At this time, I don't forget to show loyalty, do you really think you will believe it?

Dietrich and Leonardo. Beirut exchanged glances before saying, "Your Excellency the Marquis is worthy of being trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, but although the Grand Duke of Cassef has not shown his treachery, he should be severely punished for his flagrant disobedience to His Majesty's will, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Really? But I now have great concerns, because in order to guard against the invasion of the Archduke of Cassef, the Cordillera city defense force has to be stationed in the northern part of the province of Cassef for a long time, and the pressure and consumption are too great, and the area may be taken away at any time, and the officials of the lord's palace think that in this case, it is better to return the administration of that area to the Empire......"

Everyone is a smart person, to put it bluntly, Hathaway just wants the permanent ownership of that area, she knows that the two of them must have come to the Cordillera to ask for something, and if they don't take this opportunity to ask for a sky-high price, then wouldn't they be fools?

Dietrich and Leonardo. Beirut was silently thinking about Hathaway's words, the big lords are obviously parting ways with the empire now, even if they have no intention of completely destroying the empire, but after a fierce battle with the rebels, the empire has almost lost its binding force on the big lords, and now the survival of the empire depends on what the black hands behind them think, not the big lords can decide, the degree of support for the empire by these small and medium lords may affect the necessary attitude of the black hands behind the empire in some cases, And now it is quite necessary to get the support of these small and medium-sized lords.

"Your Excellency, I also think that the ownership of that area should be confirmed, but I have no right to decide on this, I must return to Heidelberg and report to Your Majesty and your Majesty will decide, but I will do my best to advise Your Majesty, I believe there should be no big problem."

Once decided, Dietrich readily agreed, "However, Your Excellency the Marquis, the Empire is still willing to think about you in times of crisis, and we, as courtiers, should we also share more worries and solve problems for the Empire?" ”

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
