Chapter 54: Orders of Otto the Great
In the Lord's Mansion of Lin Si City, Karen sat on the right, opposite her father, and Clavers sat at the bottom of Alberly, her face expressionless. Sitting in the castle lord's palace was Kolbus Warrens, the governor of Pannoris, the eastern province of the Alverian Empire.
"Mistress Karen, long time no see. It had been a year since we last met, at His Majesty's banquet. Kolbers said to Karen with a smile.
In the Alverian Empire, there were a total of nine provinces, each of which was divided into regions by direction, with each province appointing a governor, except for the central province, which directly divided the imperial capital. Therefore, in the Alverian Empire, the most powerful nobles are not the princes and dukes who have fiefs, but these governors who hold the power of a province, of course, those who can become governors will basically have a strong family support behind them.
The Eastern Province is the most extensive of the nine provinces of the Alverian Empire. Due to its proximity to the Central Mountains and the border with the Kingdom of Errot, the eastern provinces also had the longest border in the Alverian Empire. And the only place in the Alverian Empire bordering the Kingdom of Lansrens is also the northernmost part of the Eastern Province, commonly known as the Land of Chaos.
As the one who could control the eastern provinces, the fifty-year-old Governor Kolbers was also a well-known figure in the main plane. The former Prime Minister of the Alverian Empire, owner of the largest gold mine in the Alverian Empire, and the controller of the second largest chamber of commerce in the Alverian Empire, was part of the patriarch of the Volrens family. Of course, it was a very interesting thing that made Master Colbers famous.
Colbers had a beautiful beard and was known among the nobles of the Alverian Empire as the Bearded Prince. The Doge also cherished his beard very much, and it was rumored that the most powerful feudal governor of the Alverian Empire would pay a high price for his beard, and obtained from the spirit of nature a potion that would make his beard always soft and smooth.
Seeing the ruler of the Eastern Province of Panorris again, Karen stood up, bowed slightly, and said to Colbers, "Hello, Lord Governor. It's true that we haven't seen each other for a year. It's my honor to be able to remember me!
"Hahahaha. Colbers laughed, his right hand gently stroking his beard, "The golden lion of the empire, who can forget." To be able to become His Majesty's Knight of Oath at a young age, this strength, there should be no one else among the young people of the empire now, right?
"The Governor is too much of a Governor to hold Karen up, and in last year's tournament, I heard that Karen didn't even survive a single move under the chief knight of the Lordship, Lord Gromas. So in front of Master Gromas, Karen is still a toddler!" In the face of Kolbers's praise, Karen did not have any proud look, and her face was very calm. And Clavers only smiled at Colbers's words and responded.
"Master Colbers
, Master Kravers, Karen and Gromas are all very good talents in the Empire, and I believe that with such talents, the Empire will soon be able to surpass the Holy Third Reich, which has been eating its old roots and not seeking progress. The future of the empire will be created by them!" Alberly said with a smile from the side.
"Haha, Alberly is right. We're old, and the future of the empire belongs to young people like Karen!" Colbers smiled slightly.
"Lord Governor, let's let Karen announce the Emperor's orders first. I'm afraid, if you continue to praise you, Karen, and Karen won't know where the door of the Delvensey family is heading!" Clavers said with a smile.
"Well, Kravus is right, Karen, you should announce His Majesty's orders first. Kolbs said with a serious expression. At the same time, Alberi and Clavos also straightened their postures, ready to listen to Otto the Great's orders.
"Yes, sir!"
Karen took out the square black iron box from the space ring, without any decorative patterns or gaps, just like a pitch-black stone. But after Karen took out this strange "stone", the hall of the City Lord's Mansion was as if it had been silent, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
Karen gently placed the strange stone on the ground, and then used her fighting energy to squeeze out a drop of blood on the middle finger of her right hand, dripping it on the strange black "stone". γiQi Literature #!Better, Newer and Fasterγ
It's like blood melts into water, and when the blood drops onto the stone, it leaves only a faint trace of blood, then melts into the stone and disappears.
As the blood melts in, the stone opens automatically, revealing the scroll hidden within, as if the mechanism has been triggered.
Karen picked up the scroll with a serious expression, and then showed the intact side of the ink to Governor Colbers, Alberly, and Clavos. After all three were sure that the scroll had never been opened, Karen opened the scroll and read its contents aloud.
"Otto III decreed that the Governor of Panolis Province should fully assist Karen Delvensi, the Purple Flower Commander, in obtaining the method of making the Blood Crystal. Ordered Albers, the lord of Lin Si City, to assist Karen 1 Delvensey in defeating the Blanch family of the thirteen clans of the blood family, and send Albert Bronhe, the head of the Blanch family, to the imperial capital. The Delvensey family assisted Lin Sicheng in completing the mission!"
After listening to Karen's recitation, Colbers did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought, but instead Alberley, the city lord of Lin Si City, who was sitting opposite Karen, spoke first, "Lord Karen, why would the Emperor issue such an order. For so many years, Lin Sicheng and the Bronhe family have been at peace. Although the Bronhe family sometimes intrudes on the people around Lin Sicheng, the Bronhe family also plays a great role in helping Lin Sicheng control the surrounding vampire families. Now that there is no suitable reason, it is necessary to do something to the Bronhe family, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the vampire families around Lin Sicheng. β
As the capital of the eastern province of Panolis, the city was located on the border of the Alverian Empire
and its proximity to the central mountain range makes it somewhat unsafe. Around Lin Si City, there are still vampire families of unknown sizes. Because every Lin Sicheng city lord will consciously have a good relationship with the Bronhe family, so that the latter can help Lin Sicheng control those vampires who often harass the people. So although vampire attacks happen from time to time, the number has always been within the acceptable range of Lin Sicheng. And now, if the Bronhe family is suddenly eradicated, without the control of the Bronhe family, one of the thirteen clans of the blood family, I am afraid that the vampires around Lin Sicheng will riot.
"Lord Abelil, this is His Majesty's order. Since His Majesty will issue such an order, it is his own consideration, and we can only fulfill His Majesty's order, not question His Majesty's order. After saying the order, Karen seemed to be a different person, and in the face of Alberly's question, Karen did not answer directly, but reprimanded the lord of a city.
"Lord Karen, I am not questioning His Majesty's order, I am just informing the Lord of the situation in Lin Sicheng, after all, the Lord has not returned to Lin Sicheng for a long time, and I am afraid that I don't know as much about Lin Sicheng as the city lord of Lin Sicheng!" Alberly seemed to be angered by Karen's attitude, and seemed a little indignant, and pronounced the words Lord of Lin Sicheng very seriously!
"Alberry, don't be in a hurry! His Majesty must have his reasons for issuing such an order. You listen to Karen explain His Majesty's orders first, and then ask!" said Colbers, who was sitting at the top, as if dissatisfied with Albailly's impatience.
"Yes, Lord Governor!" said Alberly, fearfully.
"Yes, Lord Governor. According to news from the Imperial Capital, the Bronch family has taken control of the vampire killer, the werewolf with Fenrir blood, Baker Rumus. They wanted to use the power of Baker Rumus when Dracula's mausoleum was opened. Snatch the method of making the Blood Crystal, which His Majesty cannot allow!" Karen explained.
"In that case, then follow His Majesty's orders. Karen, the garrison of Lin Sicheng will be under your command, and if you need anything, you can also bring it up to me directly. Colbers said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord Governor, tomorrow I will go to the garrison camp in Lin Si City. Karen replied.
"Now that the order is fully understood, Karen, you might as well hurry back to the family with Clavos. Although you need to do your best to serve the Empire, you can also forget about your family!" Seeing that the matter had been settled, Colbers said with a smile to Karen.
"Yes, Lord Kolbers!"
After Karen and Clavus left the City Lord's Mansion, there was a temporary silence in the hall.
"My lord, my lord, I still don't understand why His Majesty would issue such an order. In any case, even in order to compete for the production method of the Blood Source Crystal, there is no need to eradicate the Bronhe family. Besides, with the strength of the Empire, why would he be so concerned about the production method of a small Blood Source Crystal?" Alberly didn't understand.
"The Kingdom of Bavaria wants
Civil strife, Albery. Kolbers said meaningfully.
"Your Excellency, do you mean?" Alberly was a little shocked, could it be that the previous rumors had always been true?
"Although many people know a little about this matter, before there is no action on the imperial capital, no one knows if this will be a smoke bomb released by the imperial capital. But today, by order of His Majesty Karen Delven Thorn, he came to Lin Si City. I knew that the Imperial Capital was going to intervene in the civil strife in the Duchy of Bavaria. Kolbers said softly.
"But what does this have to do with the Bronhols?" said Abelil, still looking puzzled.
"Albairy, I know that you have a deep personal relationship with the Blanches, but I would like to advise you that at this time, the life or death of the Bronhe family has nothing to do with you. After all, you also know the temper of the emperor. β
Alberly shuddered at the thought of Otto the Great's "great exploits" in dealing with his enemies and betrayers, "My lord, I understand. Tomorrow, the garrison of Lin Si City can be assembled, and it will be under the command of Lord Karen. β
"You don't have to be in such a hurry, tomorrow you still lead Karen to the garrison camp as planned. As for what Karen is going to do, let him do it, but, as far as I know, I'm afraid Karen doesn't have the confidence to open Dracula's mausoleum, and it is estimated that he will not do anything to the Bronch family until Dracula's mausoleum is opened. When Karen actually gets his hands dirty, it's never too late for you to act. β
"My lord, what if at that time, the fighter plane was lost, and someone from the Bronhe family escaped?" Alberly hesitated about the governor's order.
"Albery, the Emperor's order is to capture the patriarch of the Blanch family, Albert Blanche, and he did not say that he would completely annihilate the Blanch family, if you still want to control the large and small vampire families around Lin Si City, then you can do as I want. Kolbers said.
"Yes, sir. β
On the avenue of Lin Si City, Clavers and Karen, who had left the City Lord's Mansion, did not choose to ride in a carriage or a horse. The father and son walked side by side, very slowly.
"Karen, is the Empire about to take action against the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Although Clavos has long since left the imperial capital aristocratic circle, as a famous nobleman of the Alverian Empire, the Delvensy family still knows the news very well.
Although it is not known when the Empire will make a move against the Kingdom of Bavaria, one thing is for sure, that is, the Empire will do something against the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the approximate time should be the period when the old mercenary king of the Kingdom of Bavaria abdicated.
"Well, as long as you get the method of making the blood crystal, the empire will act. Karen affirmed Clavos's statement, and went on to tell a shocking secret, "Your Majesty, I will personally conquer the Kingdom of Bavaria!"
"What?," Clavers looked at Kai with a look of shock
Lun, even if he has been up and down in officialdom for many years, Clavos, who has long been unfazed, was also shocked by this news.
How many years have passed, and the Otto the Great, who once dominated the continent, will once again show his supreme force in front of the world.
"The Emperor, preparing to invade the Kingdom of Lancerens after turning the Kingdom of Bavaria into a vassal state of the Empire, the Emperor is preparing to turn the Alverian Empire into the First Empire of the main plane, and regain the glory of the Holy Second Empire of the past!" Karen said in a firm tone.
As the country that once turned the Alverian Empire into the second most powerful country in the main plane, Otto the Great's ambitions went far beyond what it is now. However, the behemoth in front of him was the Holy Third Reich, which inherited the vast legacy of the Holy Second Empire, whether it was the Kingdom of Lance or other Holy Third Reich elect empires, the national power was comparable to that of the Alverian Empire.
Therefore, Otto the Great chose to stop for the time being after expanding the territory of the Alverian Empire to the extreme. However, the actions of the Alverian Empire have not stopped, and countless hidden forces are still operating for the goals of Otto the Great. And now, under the operation of the Alverian Empire, the Kingdom of Bavaria, a vassal state of the Kingdom of Lancerence and a famous mercenary country on the continent, will bite back at the suzerain. It was also a good time for Otto the Great to achieve his goals. Naturally, he won't miss it!
"Didn't Prime Minister Pismai dissuade the Emperor?" Although the news was shocking, Clavers was not only concerned about the news, but also about what was behind the news. Although the strength of the Alverian Empire has developed significantly in recent decades, it is not sufficient. If there is really a war with the kingdom of Lancerence, it is still unknown who will kill the deer.
"There are some people in the imperial capital who have raised objections to this, but they have all been thrown into prison by His Majesty. And I, as Your Majesty's Knight of Oath, will eventually be by Your Majesty's side, standing in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Lancerence and witnessing the collapse of that statue that has been passed down for thousands of years!" Karen's words were soft, but Clavers could hear the firmness and valor in his only son's tone.
"Karen, please don't forget that in the east of the empire, there is still a group of people waiting for your return. Knowing that his son had set a goal, Kravus would not change, did not dissuade Karen, but just said this.
Karen stopped, looked at her father, who was already a little old, and whispered, "Yes, my father!"
Outside the city of Bernny, the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria, the Greywater Mercenary Regiment is stationed. With the fluctuations of the spatial ripples, a tired Kling struggled to break free from the long river of time.
Thinking back to what he had just done, Colin, who hadn't shown a smile for a long time, couldn't help but smile at this moment.
"Captain, are you back?" The high-ranking members of the Greywater Mercenary Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, all gathered here.
"Well, let's go in first!" Just as Colin was about to take a step forward, Colin suddenly hugged his head in pain, and a fierce roar sounded,
Colin, who was still in human form, instantly turned into the shape of a devil.
"Captain!" Although it was not the first time I had seen the appearance of the head of the regiment, every time I saw it, everyone present was still limited in shock.
"I'm out of the way, I guess I've stayed in the river of time for too long, and the transformation potion has become ineffective. Hogg, go get me another bottle. Colin said in a booming voice.
"Captain, the Hobbes Sage has already said that you can only drink five bottles of Transfiguration Potion, and the Captain has already drunk three bottles, and if you drink it again, you will never be able to return to human form. At that time, even if you find Transfiguration, it won't work on you, Captain!" Hogg said with some concern.
"Shut up, I'll tell you to get it for me quickly!" Colin growled.
"Yes, Captain!" Seeing that the Captain was already angry, Hogg could only sigh helplessly and run towards the pharmacy.
Just as Hogg went to get the Transfiguration Potion, Colin seemed to sense something, lifted the devil's head, and looked out into the distance. There's a red cloud coming at a breakneck speed!
