526 Third heir

This expulsion began in the north of the empire, but not in the Duchy of Berry, but in some of the following territories. Because the previous attack of the barbarians, compared with the invasion of the Milan Empire in the southeast, was much more ferocious, and it also caused a lot of casualties to those previous territories.

The main reason for this situation is that the suspicion and targeting of Duke Otto by Emperor Henry VII of France will lead to such a scene. So those lords put this resentment on Henry VII, and it can be said that they complained constantly.

With huge casualties and the fact that the Frankish Empire was now almost in a state of abandonment to the northern frontier, these lords no longer had any loyalty to the Frankish Empire. Perhaps the idea in their minds is that since the empire has abandoned itself, then they can also abandon the empire and unite.

So these small lords directly united to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and this offensive and defensive direction not only refers to the northern barbarians or the Hans Empire, but also the French Empire. If the Francoian Empire were to send troops to quell the rebellion or suppress the lords, it would provoke a revolt from the entire northern realm.

Another point is that these small lords are in alliance, their initial alliance direction is the Duchy of Berry, and even some lords bluntly say that they are willing to be loyal to Duke Otto, because in their minds, Duke Otto is the patron saint of the northern border of the empire, and they have relied on the lion army to fight with the barbarians for so many years, and even have to deter the farther orc empire.

Moreover, Duke Otto was straightforward, even when he was suspected of being suspicious and Henry VII chose to attack, he did not choose to rebel, and even when the French Empire was in the most critical situation, he took the initiative to send troops to cut off the back road of the barbarians, causing extremely huge casualties among the barbarians, and also making them incapable of going south in a few years.

It is precisely because of Duke Otto's troops that the northern territory of the empire can now remain intact, otherwise the central power will shrink into a ball, and there will be no strength to defend the northern territory at all, and the barbarians can enter the land of no one. Another point is that the Holy See suppressed the Hans Empire, so that the entire combat effectiveness is stronger, and compared with other empires and more barbaric countries, it has endured the conflict of attacking the French Empire at this time, which is the reason why the French Empire can really maintain the integrity of the lord at present.

After the Northern Territories expelled the Imperial Army, the previously scattered Seventh and Eighth Imperial Legions also began to assemble towards the Central Territory ruled by Henry VII. In fact, in a sense, Henry VII and the imperial capital are now truly out of danger, even if other territories choose autonomy or independence, at least the Emperor of France can still guarantee the safety of the central territory.

For example, the imperial army was scattered all over the country before, and as a result, when the foreign enemy invaded, the entire imperial capital was left with only the last palace forbidden army as a defensive force, if it weren't for the barbarians who were not good at attacking the city, and the Duke of Otto finally chose to make a move, maybe the imperial capital was in danger before.

But now it is different, the French Emperor Henry VII has 50,000 troops in his hands, and these troops are the elite of the imperial army, and after getting rid of the previous long logistical pressure and border pressure, the financial pressure of the French central power can be regarded as greatly reduced, and the previous finances are almost on the verge of collapse.

The Central Territory is relatively the most elite and prosperous territory of the entire empire, and there is no problem in supporting 50,000 central troops. At the same time, at this time, Emperor Henry VII of France may have been very disappointed in his two sons, and after the financial crisis eased, he began to support the development of Jina's princess army, and soon Jina's previous princess army was part of the eleventh army of the empire and part of the border knights, and now the tenth army of the empire has also been added to her command, so that the strength of Jina's army has reached as many as 20,000 people.

If it weren't for the war and the turmoil in the French Empire, as a princess, she would have a direct force of 20,000, which is already the standard of a prince, and even the standard of a prince second only to Prince Edward, and the previous army of the Prince of Andorra was only more than 10,000 people.

Henry VII's move to greatly expand the strength of Princess Gina naturally caused the dissatisfaction of his two princes, Prince Edward and the Prince of Andorra, at this time, both chose to write a book, believing that his father's actions disrupted the previous succession to the throne and laid a hidden danger for the future disputes of the empire.

It's just that Henry VII can only sneer in the face of such remarks. These two guys began to show their wolf ambitions when they needed it most, and now when they saw that they had the courage to support the heir to the third throne, they began to sit still a little bit.

You must know that no matter how weak Henry VII is, he still occupies the absolute authority of the law, if he can get his recognition and take the initiative to pass on the throne, then this prince will occupy at least twice the advantage in the future heir war, because the lords and military bosses of all parties will basically recognize the appointment of His Majesty the Emperor, so no matter whether they still care about this father, or what they do now, without forcing the palace to control Henry VII, they don't want him to publicly accept the heir, and now copy Princess Jina, there is this trend。

The most aggrieved estimate is Prince Edward, in fact, his relationship with Henry VII is not so bad, and it can even be said that before the war, the heir in Henry VII's mind is Prince Edward, and no one else has any hope. And the reason why Henry VII did not choose the crown prince was because he felt that he was still young and the power desire in his heart was causing trouble.

However, the situation has changed, especially the inexplicable rise of the Prince of Andorra, which has led to Prince Edward feeling threatened, and he urgently needs enough strength and numbers to maintain his advantage. Moreover, at that time, the barbarians were menacing, and seeing that the imperial capital was about to be unable to hold on, Prince Edward did not want to compete with the barbarian mussels, and in the end, the Prince of Andorra, a fisherman, profited.

So he chose to watch from the wall, which was a complete chill in Henry VII's heart. It can only be said that in the end, it was fate, in this case, the help of Duke Otto, as well as his unparalleled appeal, made the French Empire concentrate on beating out the barbarians, which put Prince Edward in an extremely embarrassing situation, or let the Prince of Andorra benefit.

After all, Andorra has never had hope, and now that Prince Edward and Henry VII are at a standstill, he still has some hope!
