Volume IV The Civil War Chapter 33 The Melancholy of the King of Verne
The king of the Verne Empire, Jules XIII, has been plagued by great uneasiness lately.
This unease comes from both domestic and foreign sources.
Aronachos was the pillar of Verne's empire, and the king knew it. However, as a basic aristocratic family, he actually has more than half of the top military force in the entire country, which is no longer a matter of pillars, but a complete blackmail of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
In fact, the king's say was very small. Although King Jules XIII always appeared before his people most of the time as a king, it was only for the sake of the masses that he had to do so.
The king has no real power.
This is something that all the kings of the Verne Empire knew before they succeeded to the throne.
The patriarch of the mountain barbarians who led the Knights of the Plateau and the leader of the mountain giants who led the mountain giants were in their own hands, and most of the time they were at the mercy of the Aronachos family, and apart from these high-end forces, the Verne Empire was simply not enough to gain a foothold in the whole world with those ordinary soldiers.
Aronachos provided armor, weapons, for those warriors. With their technology from the mechanical plane, they have mastered a weaponry manufacturing technology that does not rely solely on casting, because of these technologies, their family has almost monopolized the entire country's weaponry. With these techniques, their entire family has become the most powerful family in the Verne Empire, and even the royal ones cannot hide their brilliance.
King Jules XIII had always cultivated himself as a power, and he had been doing so since before he ascended the throne, before he was sure that he was about to become king, when the old king announced the news. On the one hand, he was constantly absorbing talent, both military and intellectual, and he knew that sometimes if he could no longer rely on Aronachos, then he would need to find a new replacement, and although the day was very remote, every king did it.
Aronachos is confident, or rather conceited, and his conceit comes from his confidence in his strength. He didn't think that the so-called masters could play any special role in real army combat, he was a complete technomaniac, he only believed in his own skills, and his skills believed that others were doomed, so he didn't have any problem with the king's approach.
Aronachos told the king to invade the Isaac Empire, but Jules XIII firmly disagreed, but he also knew that the reason why Aronachos told him was only because he was bearing the king's name, and he was not asking for his own opinion, but only informing himself.
So the king agreed, and, according to his intentions, invaded the Isaac Empire.
But he is not a stupid man with a hot brain, and any war, whether it is the winning side or the losing side, will be held responsible. This responsibility may not be a problem for a while, but it will definitely show itself in a certain time.
The king had no idea what Aronachos was up to, and he had no idea of what this conceited nobleman was doing. But that didn't stop him from thinking from above.
So, at the very beginning, he had already written two letters.
One is used in times of victory, and the other is used in times of defeat.
Even though he was a hollow king, he was still a king.
Now, Jules XIII was standing in front of the window of his study. Although he tried his best to suppress his feelings, the sudden excitement still made his excited hands tremble slightly.
A few minutes earlier, he had just received a tip from the one who was loyal only to himself. Aronachos has died in the Isaac Empire's conflict with Wang Wei for supporting the usurpation of the second prince!
Essentially, this is bad news, as Aronachos' death could be devastating to the Verne Empire as the pinnacle of a nation's military lifeline.
But on the other hand, it can also allow the king to regain his rights!
Aronachos died, although the emaciated camel was larger than the horse, but the emaciated camel was the dead camel, and the dead camel could not show its teeth and claws. He is the only one in his family who has inherited the skills from the mechanical plane, and since he has no children, his death will directly lead to the decline of his family, and he will never have any support from the mechanical plane again. His family will be in shambles, and his family will no longer be able to stand at the top of the empire.
The king did not know whether to be sad or to be happy now. It would be a disaster for a king to lose such a great force of force, but it is a good thing that his country has lost one of the greatest factors of instability.
He held two letters in his hand, and he carefully looked at each word of the letters, weighing every sentence of the letter again and again, but he shook his head, and eventually, both letters were reduced to ashes in his hands.
He knew that now he had to make a choice, and that choice could be very dangerous, but if he let the current thing continue, it would be dangerous, the war had begun, and now was not the time to end, he still needed this war.
He sat back at his desk and pulled out the blank paperwork for the king's decrees. He wrote the title on it.
"Mobilization Order"

For the entire inhabitants of Isaac City, the terrifying days that had lasted for more than a month had finally come to an end. People who don't know how many years without a war simply don't know. It is not known what the war is for, and it is not known who the two sides are, although there are some rumors circulating. But few people really take these rumors seriously, because they are all too far away.
Wars happen every day, sometimes inside the city, sometimes outside the city. People were frightened at first, and then they didn't care at all, because it had nothing to do with them.
Until this day, under the protection of Wang Wei, Princess Tina returned to the imperial city and exposed the conspiracy of the second prince.
Who is Princess Tina, and if someone asks such a question in Isaac City, then every resident of Isaac will be happy to tell you.
"That's our princess!"
This is the influence of Princess Tina, the most popular princess in history.
Therefore, when Wang Weitian's rebellious document of thousands of words was disseminated to the broad masses of the people by a certain lord through some means, almost all of the people believed it.
And when the sounds of battle began to sound in the imperial city, everyone began to pray for their princess.
Eventually, it is not known which god heard the prayers of the people.
"Residents of Isaac City, it's over!"
When Princess Tina, dressed in mechanical armor far ahead of her time, appeared in front of everyone with a chainsaw greatsword in her hand, the entire city of Isaac was boiling. Then, such news began to circulate in the imperial city.
"The second prince was controlled by Aronachos from the Verne Empire through some means, and as a result, he did something inferior to a beast, but in the end, under the protection of the heroic dragon-slaying Viscount Kane, Princess Tina successfully defeated the evil mechanical monster Aronachos, and the second prince finally realized his mistake, blocked Aronachos's fatal blow with his life, and opened the royal treasure with Princess Tina before he died. Princess Tina was recognized by the Mechanical Armor for her kindness and steadfastness, and became the heir to the Enchanted Mechanical Armor, and of course, the rightful Empress of the entire Isaac Empire. ”
The story became more and more wicked, and eventually evolved into many extremely powerful versions that were passed down throughout Isaac City. The plot in the story has become more and more bizarre and bizarre, but the main content must be that Her Majesty the Empress obeyed the destiny of heaven and finally became the empress of the entire Isaac Empire.
At the same time, the conflict between the Verne Empire and the Isaac Empire on the border of Lingnan County still shows no signs of easing, and some of the existing conflicts in other border areas are showing signs of intensification, and some battles are gradually escalating, although except for the battle of the Verne Empire, which has been determined to be an invasion, the definition of the rest of the battles is not clear, but at least one thing is certain, that is, those battles that are mixed in are definitely not for the sake of excitement.
Now the entire Isaac Empire should be the most dangerous since the founding of the founding emperor Isaac-Asimov, the internal turmoil has just ended, some large and small armed rebellions have not been properly suppressed, and some of the nobles who openly supported the second prince during the period of the second prince's independence are even more dangerous, and they don't know what to do.
In short, more and more eyes are beginning to focus on the city.
