Chapter 113: The Beginning of Confusion
It's messed up, the whole empire is in chaos.
After the announcement of the events of Karan XIII's empire, the last words of Grand Prince Brune shook the entire empire.
At the end of that empire-wide announcement, a group of Calibrators pledged their allegiance to Kalan XIII on the spot, and praised him as the eternal virtuous king, the revivalist of the empire, and the chosen one chosen by the three artifacts to protect the country.
There are also a group of implements who follow the ancient treaties of the Empire, who braved the onslaught of their former companions to recover the body of the eldest prince Brunn, and defended Prince Brune's consort, Princess Jesinia and Princess Cindini, the only son of Prince Brune, escaped from the palace and disappeared into the vast sea of people below the castle of the imperial capital.
At dusk on the same day, the two only two Grand Dukes of the Empire, Archduke Vlad and Grand Duke Lane, announced their secession from the Empire and issued a document of conquest to the fallen Karan XIII.
Subsequently, sixteen counts, thirty-nine viscounts, and nearly a hundred barons responded to the call of the two archdukes, and for a time the entire empire was almost divided into two camps!
What is strange is that the splinter nobles such as Grand Duke Vlad and Grand Duke Lane can be called a group of "stubborn old-fashioned schools", and most of their families have a long history.
It is precisely because of this that although there are also many high-level wisdom appliances in stock in these people's families, most of these wisdom appliances have been sealed by them.
Most of the instruments used by these "stubborn old-fashionists" themselves are ordinary instruments with at best a moderate level of unawakened consciousness.
In the empire, the great nobles with a long history have a certain resistance to higher wisdom equipment, and there are more or less family rules and uses in their families to reduce their dependence on higher wisdom equipment as much as possible.
Among these big nobles and big families, only the elite dead can be equipped with smart appliances!
And those nobles and apparatus who immediately declared their allegiance to Karan XIII can be said to be the emerging nobles who have risen in the empire in recent years, and their method of obtaining the title of nobility is of course very simple, relying on their strength to obtain military merits on the battlefield against fierce iron beasts, and thus promote to nobility.
Promoted to nobility with their own strength, this group of emerging nobles is naturally a person who pursues power, and high-level wisdom appliances have almost become the standard for each of them, and there are even many emerging nobles who have an infinite thirst for power, carrying more than one high-level wisdom equipment!
In the face of this situation, there are naturally many people who make trouble.
What kind of emerging aristocracy is a group of people who are controlled by instruments, the empire has been controlled by advanced instruments, and a large number of intelligent instruments are a threat to human beings, like mushrooms after a rain, one after another.
Prime Minister Kaman's "Theory of the Threat of Instruments", which was once banned by the empire and suppressed to the point of almost disappearing, was once again put out by people with intentions and hyped up.
For a time, the entire empire was shrouded in a cloud called "instrument conspiracy", and the people were panicked, and war was about to break out!
Martha is a wise man, after a series of sane analyses and friendly eye contact with the Edward Crown of the Ancient Asian Cult at home.
Martha joined the side of Grand Duke Lane and became a glorious warrior against the rule of Karan XIII.
Sitting in the reception room of Martha's Mansion, Edward looked at the pamphlets that were all over the city, and his face twitched twice.
"The Secret History of the Imperial Court, according to an unnamed court maid, sisters disappear every day and every night in the Imperial Palace, and the last place they pass through is the residence of Karan XIII...... Karan XIII cannibalism! ”
"Surprise! Karan XIII - he didn't even need to eat, he never showed tiredness, he was a smart device in human skin! ”
"The Secret of Kahlan XIII, the mental journey of a fallen emperor......"
“……”
Glancing at the pamphlet that recorded a lot of messy things, Edward looked up at Martha, who was sitting opposite him drinking black tea, and asked with a strange face: "Karan XIII, there has been no public opinion countermeasure yet?" ”
The rebels who controlled public opinion almost scolded Karan XIII as a lackey of instruments, an anti-humanist, the terminator of the nation, and the most brainless tyrant in history......
Well, removing some outrageous ones, Karan XIII is actually as mentioned above, obeying the orders of the three artifacts of the protectorate, and he has indeed become a lackey of the instrument.
But, wouldn't Karan XIII struggle a bit! You must know that because of the current storm in the city, the hearts of the people of the empire are getting farther and farther away from Karan XIII, and more and more people choose to join the anti-Karan XIII camp!
No matter how stupid people are, they should know that they should jump out to rescue them at this time and relieve the people's hearts that are constantly falling.
In such a struggle, Karan XIII will not even have a chance to refute it at the last time!
Hearing Edward's confused question, Martha put down the teacup in her hand and said with a chuckle: "The head of the Imperial Intelligence Agency is Grand Duke Vlad, and the Grand Duke Vlad family has been in charge of the Imperial Intelligence Agency for generations......"
Well, own people.
It seems that the management of imperial intelligence has been completely abolished.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Edward always feels that this pamphlet flying all over the city is so professional, it turns out that this was originally made up by a group of people who toss information! Edward was sure that the publication of this pamphlet had something to do with the Archduke Vlad.
"Speaking of which, Karan XIII has been miserable lately, and I guess he has been too busy to take care of himself. According to our eyeliner reply, this person has recently drunk cold water and stuffed his teeth, and as soon as he goes out, a group of crows fly through the air, sprinkling fresh 'rainwater' all over the world, but unfortunately he didn't dare to take a bath, and he broke his limbs directly in the last bath...... And for some reason, ornamental carnivorous fish actually ran into his bathhouse. ”
"If it weren't for the fusion of advanced intelligence equipment, maybe we wouldn't have to form a crusade coalition, right? I guess I was able to declare victory in the struggle directly. ”
"......" was indeed miserable enough, and Edward, who knew what would make Karan XIII in such a situation, closed the pamphlet in his hand in a low-key manner.
It is estimated that the public opinion countermeasures on the part of the empire have not been launched so far, and there is also a part of the credit of "bad luck", right? Edward thought.
While Edward and Martha were chatting, the door to the reception room was opened, and an old butler in a black tuxedo walked into the reception room with an envelope in his hand.
The old butler nodded lightly to Edward, walked up to Martha, bowed down and handed over the envelope in his hand, and said, "Miss Martha, there is a letter from Archduke Lane. ”
"Grand Duke Lane?" Martha was stunned for a moment, took the envelope and did not avoid suspicion, and opened the envelope directly in front of Edward.
From the envelope, Martha took out a piece of stationery and an invitation.
Martha glanced at the letter in her hand, and then looked up at Edward, who was sitting across from her, with some surprise.
Edward, who was in staring at Martha, blinked, and then suddenly said, "Looking for me?" ”
"Yes. Under Edward's crown, Archduke Lane invites you to visit a manor he has purchased near my domain tomorrow. ”
Edward knew what was going on with Archduke Lane looking for him, and Edward could guess with his eyes closed.
After all, Edward is now the leader of the demon hunters, and Grand Duke Lane is looking for him to discuss the problem of demon hunters.
Grand Duke Lane and Grand Prince Brune have played together since childhood, and now Princess Jesinia and Princess Cindini, the only son of Prince Bruine, are under the protection of Grand Duke Lane.
Of course, the corpse of Grand Prince Brune is naturally also with Grand Duke Lane.
Faced with the corpse of his childhood friend, Grand Duke Lane was furious.
So, of all the people who were planning to crusade against Karan XIII, Grand Duke Lane was definitely one of the most motivated!
Demon hunters are very strong in combat, and more importantly, these demon hunters have a strong and outrageous super restraint ability when facing the Appliance Master and the Iron Beast!
The restraint of the demon hunter was naturally taken by Grand Duke Lane.
In the case that the opponent has an apparatus master, if there is a demon hunter to help, it will undoubtedly add a decisive weight to Duke Ryan and them in the upcoming war!
Therefore, Duke Ryan is eager to get the help of the Demon Hunters who have recently wandered outside the Imperial Storm!
"Tomorrow night?" Edward nodded slightly, narrowing his eyes in thought, "Yes." ”
