Chapter 182: The Grand Duke of Moscow (Part II)
"Grand Duke, I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?!" Ducayat, who had no idea what was going on, couldn't even speak. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The Grand Duke's bodyguard, this is a high honor, although the Novgorod garrison chief is a little higher, but the power is not comparable at all. You must know that the bodyguard of the Grand Duke in the past was his cronies, and he would be responsible for the Grand Duke's living and administrative management, even more powerful than some noble houses. Of course, this position is not created by every Grand Duke, for example, Grand Duke Alexander did not let the bodyguards share power with him.
Ducayat, who met Constance Dante for the first time, was flattered, and such an important position was like pie in the sky, completely blanking his eyes. And he didn't notice the mocking look in the eyes of the other nobles, which was definitely an honorable thing for him.
And Consdante did this in consultation with Solzhenitsyn, and only by doing so could Consdante prove that he had no ambitions, so that the noble council could believe him. After all, if Constituente did not set up a bodyguard, it would mean that he would still have to follow the style of Alexander's monopoly of power, which would definitely be disgusting, but if a nobleman was chosen for this position, Consitine Dante would also face constraints.
Sure enough, the faces of the councillors who were still wary of Constance and Dante suddenly softened a lot, and Ivelumo, who was originally strongly opposed, clearly realized that he could not change anything at all, but could only accept reality.
"Dikaiat, since this is the Grand Duke's appointment, then accept it quickly!" Solzhenitsyn opened his mouth and said that it would be the best decision to hand over the position of bodyguard to an unrelated little person, so that the struggle for power between the parties would be ended, and the vigilance of the parliament would be much reduced. Bodyguard was the only position that could be directly appointed by the Grand Duke of Novgorod, and this still required the approval of the Noble Council. As an officer of the garrison regiment, this kind of little person is not worthy of their attention, so it is the best choice to let him be a bodyguard.
"Yesγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» yes" Decayat nodded, but he still felt like he was in a dream. He was a small person who suddenly became an equal existence with the parliamentarians in front of him, which made it difficult for anyone to adapt.
Although the parliamentarians were dissatisfied when they saw that a little person who usually didn't care about it at all was placed at the same level as themselves at this time, they could accept it, after all, this was the only way to make them feel at ease, so that after Cons Dante went into the wilderness, this little person was also easy to fiddle with.
"Then gentlemen, there should be no other objections to me now, right?" Consition Dante slowly glanced at the nobles in front of him, and his majestic gaze surprised them, worthy of the former knight king, even if he appeared in front of them as an exile, this kind of coercion was still different. Even if they don't want to admit it, but in their hearts, these nobles finally understand the gap between themselves and the new Roman royal family.
The parliamentarians bowed their heads and respectfully followed Cons-Dante out of the House to meet their old rivals, the Muscovites.

At this moment, the situation outside Novgorod is very tense, the city that has just been at peace is once again facing a threat in its eyes, whether it is the Swedes or other principalities, even if they have an attempt in Novgorod, but after all, it will not be too much to contain the alliance, but this is not the case with the army stationed under the city.
Muscovites don't care about morality, the city is black, and what is even more striking is the suffocating rows of mecha troops, they have such great power. The parliamentarians who witnessed all this trembled, shocked and angry. I was amazed that the Muscovites had such a powerful mecha force, and from the outside, they were obviously strengthened third-generation mechs, and they were angry that as a member of the Rus, if they had joined the coalition army before, Novgorod would not have suffered huge losses.
"Is this the Muscovites?" Constance Dante stood on top of the wall and whispered softly. Looking at the neat soldiers below, those Muscovites were dressed very differently from ordinary Rus', like nomads.
"Those damn barbarians are taking advantage of the fire to rob at this time!" The angry lawmakers cursed under their breath.
The vast northern snowfields nurtured the Slavs, and the Rus' were an important part of the Slavs, who first prospered with Kiev, then Novgorod, and now there are many Rus' factions, the most powerful being Vladimir. Tver and Novgorod. But there is another force that is often left out: Moscow. Compared to history, Moscow is nothing more than a small wooden fort, but it has the advantage that other city-states do not have, that is, from its south it can cross the mountains and communicate with the East, although this creates a threat of invasion, and Moscow did become a vassal of the Easterners for a time, but it allowed it to gain knowledge and power from the East, which is why it came from behind. The mecha technology they now possess was all learned from the Turks, but they were able to suppress the self-proclaimed orthodox principalities of Northwest Rus'.
It's just that this also creates another problem, which is that in the eyes of other Rus', Muscovites are not at all like Rus, but like the Turks of the East. Therefore, there is still a ridiculous dialect in Rus' country, "Kill a Tatar, it seems to be a Muscovites up close", many people excluded Moscow from Rus', did not recognize them, especially Novgorod, and of course they did not want Muscovites to compete with them for the honor of Grand Duke of All Rus', so the two sides had a long-standing grudge.
"Your Royal Highness, the rest will be left to us, after all, you have not officially taken office." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Solzhenitsyn whispered to Constance Dante that he did not expect to encounter such a critical matter at this time, and that the Muscovites had come to Novgorod from so far away without a word, apparently with the tacit approval of other countries, and they were taking this opportunity to find out the power of Novgorod, and now they would cause a catastrophe if they were not careful.
In particular, Constance Dante is now recognized by everyone as precarious, and Solzhenitsyn has to take this into account, and every decision Consition Dante makes is related to what will happen later.
