Chapter Forty-Six: Codename: Scythe I

The wind was blowing, and the wind raged throughout the venue, causing a wave of cries, but the coronation of Queen Bretonnia did not stop, but became more lively than before.

I don't know when it started, and the sun on the sky dome disappeared without a trace.

The air around was cold, but the excitement at the coronation ceremony did not diminish in the slightest.

"Today is the day of the new Queen of Bretonnia's accession to the throne."

As the host's words fell not far away, the queen of Bretonnia walked onto the stage in female armor.

But on the other side, Lu En and the nobles of Bretonnia sat on chairs, quietly watching the coronation ceremony not far away.

The stage of the bishop and the queen above does not need aristocrats at the moment.

Lu En stared at the map on his lap, pondering.

Beside Lu En was Berchmond, a nobleman in Bretonnia and the commander of the Ardennes Forest to contain the Imperial army.

"Now is the time for Queen Bretonnia to ascend the throne, Lu Enqing, haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time?" Berchmond said.

Lu En raised his head: "Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, but the situation doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Berchmond was a little surprised: "What. ”

Lu En said: "I have just received letters from several Electors of the Empire. ”

He paused: "I originally thought that several electors of the empire would act together with the civil war in Bretonnia, but I didn't expect that these nobles who usually compete for power and profit within the empire are now almost unified. ”

Bohemond snorted coldly: "The princes within the empire don't have to pay attention to it at all. ”

Lu En said, "They all asked me to reconcile with the Empire. ”

Lu En smiled: "This is really a big joke. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief: "But it's not all without good news, the president of Marienburg is already planning to ally with me. ”

Bochmond nodded: "That country with a big nose?" Forget it, his alliance is just an additional burden for Bretonnia. ”

Lu En smiled: "Marienburg has been a vassal state of the empire for a long time, but at the moment, it seems that the imperial emperor Karl does not respect Marienburg's status as a republic and wants to take Marienburg into his hands. ”

"Judging from the letters I have received before, even the former king of Bretonnia thought so."

"It made Marienburg feel very insecure, like a very rich man who had entered a place full of poor ghosts, and it was only a matter of time before he was robbed."

"I can give Fort Marion security, although I originally planned to take Fort Marion into my hands, but I thought about it, even if I seized the power of Bretonnia, there are still so many things I want to solve, and it is impossible to take care of Fort Marien."

Lu En took a deep breath: "Therefore, I plan to enter into a military alliance with Marionburg, but he must pay a sum of money regularly every month. ”

Bohemond hurriedly said, "But in this way, we will become enemies with the Imperials." ”

Lu En smiled, "Aren't we becoming enemies with the Empire now?" ”

"The soldiers of the Empire invaded Colony, the capital of Bretonnia, and fought us on the territory of Bretonnia, which is not an invasion, what is an invasion?"

Lu En looked at Estella, who was giving a speech on stage, and then said, "I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to do something. ”

"That would be a declaration of war on the Empire."

"What!" It was not only Berhemond who was sitting next to Lu En who was surprised, but even the many nobles behind Lu En were also very surprised.

You must know that at the moment, Bretonnia has not declared war with the Empire, and the Empire has not declared war on official occasions at all, and the two sides only have a tacit understanding to fight in Bretonnia.

In this way, both sides have room to maneuver, but if Lu En declares war on the Empire, then it means that this back road is blocked by Lu En.

"No, I don't agree with you doing that!" Berhemond was the first to reject Lune's offer.

Bohemond knew very well in his heart that the reason why Lu En made such a proposal in front of everyone meant that he had come to seek the help of the nobles, but this kind of proposal was simply whimsical.

Lu En smiled: "Then do you want me to gamble and see if Emperor Karl will make a big deal about this matter, or if after I capture Cologne, Karl will ask for a truce against me." ”

Lu En glanced at Bo Hemond beside him: "I have a plan. ”

"I'm going to force Walkmar the Heartless to fight me, and in fact this plan has been in the works since I returned to Leonis."

"Walkema is a battle-hardened warrior, and it is absolutely impossible for him to fight with me in a battle that he may lose, so I must force him to fight~"

Lu En placed his hand on the scabbard of the sword of Tolgard at his waist: "I have just examined the army, and it is possible to charge directly from Lyonis to Cologne. ”

"The only variable...... It is the main force of the Arden Forest Empire, if you can hold back the main force of the Empire for me, then the victory will be ours. ”

Bochmond nodded: "It's hard to win, but I'll try to fight." ”

Lu En smiled: "You don't need to win, you just need to drag the main force of the empire, as long as you give me time, I will be able to return Cologne to Bretonnia." ”

He looked at Queen Estella of Bretonnia, who was giving a speech on the stage not far away, and she seemed to be taking on the role of queen now, and she was very happy to talk about the future of Bretonnia.

Estria: "I, Queen of Bretonnia, declare Lun as Lord Protector of Bretonnia, and you will serve Lun as you serve me from now on. ”

In a burst of calls, Lu En rose from his chair, walked up to the top platform, took the scepter that the bishop had placed on the platform, and then he said calmly, "I, Lord Protector of Bretonnia, will now lead you to victory. ”

Everyone stopped calling and listened silently to Lu En's words.

The nobles of Bretonnia know that there is a very important thing for Bretonnia today.

Lu En looked around, and the Bretonnian warriors below looked unusually calm, and it was clear that today's day had surpassed their imagination.

They may not have thought that they would have a chance to counterattack!

In the past few months, the Empire's formidable firepower has left them with an image of extreme fear, and although they do not verbally admit that Bretonnia is no match for the Empire, they already think so in their hearts now.

Lu En looked at everyone below with an expressionless face, and he said calmly: "For a long time, the Sigma Empire, as the strongest country among the human race, has always enjoyed the respect of all kingdoms, but not long ago, this despicable empire actually sent an army to invade Gologne. ”

……

The speech was very long, and Lu En finished talking about the sins of the empire in one breath, and then took a deep breath: "I declare that the Bartonnian Conquest Front is officially established, and everyone, regardless of whether they are high or low, must obey my orders!" ”

"I declare that Bartow has declared war on the Sigmar Empire on the Conquest Front!"

A call rang out throughout the room.

Lu En knew very well in his heart that when the Barto's conquest front was formed, the originally loose aristocratic alliance would be integrated into an extremely efficient battle group, so that even if it was an imperial army, it would definitely not be much better off in the highly organized Bretonnian army.

What's more, Lu En didn't plan to finish the last thing in one go.

"In three hours, our army launched a general assault on the remnants of the empire in Cologne!"

"Codename: Swing the Scythe!"
