During Orlando II, after the civil strife was put down, Orlando II felt that several aristocratic alliances took advantage of his unpreparedness and approached the imperial capital, and on two occasions he almost defeated the imperial capital. So in order to prevent such a situation from happening again www.biquge.info Orlando II built four war fortresses around the imperial capital, and named them after the guard, star, moon, and soldier. These four war bastions were bestowed by Orlando II on the families who had distinguished themselves in the civil war, and ordered them to defend them in the era.

Four war fortresses with no special features, which gradually turned into "fiefdoms" over time. And the top ruling class that lives here is still those families.

During Orlando V's civil war, Orlando V led his army to conquer the unconquered, and in the process, the four satellite cities played a decisive role in protecting the imperial capital from invasion. Several attacks by the nobles were fended off by the satellite towns, and after the war subsided, Orlando V made the four families knighted to reward them for their role during the war.

Today, the scenes that appeared in the past have reappeared, have the current heads of these satellite cities forgotten the glory and admonition of their ancestors?

Pars shook his head, no!

No one knew better than she that the Earl of Birmingham's intention to join Pilagos had been proposed to her father, Orlando VI.

Yes, it is true that Empress Pars is a woman, but a woman does not mean that she is weak and can be bullied, nor does it mean that she must be kind and gentle. Since she was a child, she was exposed to politics early in the morning because of the date of her birth, and the education she received was also a resource unique to the royal family. In the process, she, like her father and grandfather, realized that the harm caused by the aristocratic group to the royal family was very serious, so she did not like those nobles when she was a child.

When Empress Pars was young, she was exposed to things far beyond her siblings, and she even had four henchmen who mingled with her every day. One of these four people was named Birmingham, and he was also the lord of the city of Aureis at this time.

Almost every generation of the next generation of city lords of satellite cities has grown up with the next generation of emperors, and only the friendship that has developed from the innocent age of childhood is unbreakable in the eyes of those adults.

So when Empress Pars needed someone to stand up first and break into the aristocratic group, her four friends stepped forward as soon as possible.

The reason why one of these four people was chosen to infiltrate the interior of the aristocratic group as a spy mainly came from two aspects.

First, the special location and role of the satellite city may not mean much to ordinary nobles, but it is too important for those who are ambitious. It can be said that Birmingham is a litmus test, who is safe and who is dangerous, through Birmingham can be tried. Those who have no intention of staring at the royal throne will only keep their distance from Birmingham, and only those who fantasize about becoming such and such an emperor one day will be interested in Birmingham.

This can also directly illustrate the Orlando family's dislike for the aristocratic group, not because they let the nobles huddle together to survive, but because their ambition makes the Orlando family disgusted.

So, the young Pars directed a play that spanned more than ten years, and this scene is coming to an end today.

At this time, not far from Pars, Isaac had two fierce struggles in his heart.

He didn't know whether to trust the Earl of Birmingham, who was not from his men, but from Pilagos. Although he had reached an agreement with the Earl of Birmingham, at this point, he wavered.

He didn't know if he should go on as planned, but this game for the throne had already reached this point, and it was no longer something he could stop by shouting stop. The nobles who followed him, waiting to enjoy the dividends of war and fulfill their promises, cared more about the ownership of the throne than he cared about it. Even if he gritted his teeth now and said that he would not do it, those nobles would set him up, throw him to the imperial capital, throw him on the throne, and then fulfill all his promises.

Even these nobles will cut him down with a knife, hold up his son as a puppet, and continue this rebellious identity until he is completely corrected.

The dragon doesn't get overly irritable when he's fed and drunk, and if you give it something he likes at this point, then riding on the dragon isn't too much of a problem. But after riding up, how to get down has become a big problem. For human offenses, if the dragon's further demands cannot be met, they don't mind eating the guy on their back, giving him a rather severe punishment!

At this moment, Isaac actually had a thought in his heart that it was better to be defeated. When the time comes, he will leave Orlando with his family and go to live in the full moon, and with his status, status and wealth, it will not be difficult to get along with the full moon.

The drums in his ears were still ringing, and every mallet seemed to hit the bottom of his heart. He pursed his lips, glanced sideways at the dozens of red-faced nobles around him, and sighed silently.

He had people start signaling according to the plan he had prepared in advance. Several colorful flags dance back and forth in the wind, and hunting sounds.

The soldiers on the front line suddenly found that the defenders of the city had put heavy pressure on them, and they had disappeared!

Obviously, the wall that had not been conquered for half an hour was suddenly lost its combat effectiveness and retreated one after another, allowing them to climb the wall. They quickly moved away from the horses, giving up the space for the impact and giving the knights the possibility of galloping.

In an instant, the defenders of the city, who originally had a considerable part of the advantage, actually fell like a mountain collapsing, completely losing its combat effectiveness. The tide of siege troops immediately submerged the entire city of Defense.

Looking at the city of Austeris that he had already won, Isaac's mind became more and more confused, could it be that he was thinking too much? Birmingham, as he had said before, let him control the city, and he had more confidence when he was in charge of God. But where does the anxiety come from? Is it just because I'm too sensitive?

The general in charge of the siege was embarrassed, but he was in excellent spirits and galloped on his war horse, and as soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, the galloping war horse slid forward a few steps against the ground with four hooves. The general turned over and dismounted, and after a few ups and downs, he half-knelt in front of Isaac, with a radiant face, "Your Highness, the city gate has been opened, the city lord of the Acropolis, the Earl of Birmingham, is willing to surrender, you can enter the city at any time!"

There are two paths to choose from for the Orlando Empire, one is to knight those who have distinguished themselves in battle. The royal family of the Orlando Empire has clearly sensed that too many nobles are also a threat to the royal family, so from the initial battle achievements can be knighted, to the outstanding can be knighted, which has greatly increased the difficulty of knighthood. The so-called outstanding person is the one who is the best of a group, in other words, in a sufficiently important war, only one person can get a knighthood.

The second way is to contribute to the knighthood, but it is also a knighthood, and the title and power obtained by this knighthood method will be far inferior to those who have been knighted for war merits. The so-called contribution knighthood is to make an outstanding contribution to the empire, such as inventing a certain high-yield food, or creating new magical equipment that can enhance the country's strength, and other contributions that are beneficial to the country, and will be rewarded with a lowest-level title by the royal family.

Breaking through the satellite cities of the imperial capital and approaching the imperial capital is an outstanding feat, and it is natural for the generals to be so excited. Once the imperial capital is conquered and Isaac ascends the throne as emperor, then with the key role he plays in this battle, a viscount will not be able to escape. Maybe because he opened the gate of the Guardian City, Isaac will use him as a vanguard when attacking the imperial capital, if he can open the gate of the imperial capital, or even the gate of the imperial palace, I'm afraid the earl will not be a problem!

That's a title that can last the family for two hundred years!

He shook his head vigorously, lowered his head, and said loudly with an emphasis mixed with excitement: "Please enter the city!"

To go or not to go?

Feeling countless scorching eyes on his body, Isaac, who already knew that he had been "kidnapped", could only nod mechanically, and the general immediately got up, swept away Isaac's attendants with one arm, personally held the reins of Isaac's war horse, and said humbly: "Your Highness, I will take you into the city!"

The group entered the city in a mighty way, and when they passed through the bloody city gates, Isaac's uneasiness intensified. He resisted the urge to turn around and leave, rode on his standing horse, and after a circle in the small fortress, he stopped outside the city lord's mansion.

The Earl of Birmingham and his family were gathered together, fearful, guarded by rebel soldiers. The moment Isaac appeared, the Earl of Birmingham breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

Looking at the sincere smile of the man in front of him, Isaac doubted again, was it really just that he was too sensitive?

"Let them go, the Earl of Birmingham is my friend, and he deserves to be treated like this. As soon as Isaac said this, he took the city lord's seal letter from the Earl of Birmingham, and walked into the city lord's mansion hand in hand.

In the Earl's study of Birmingham, after the two sat down separately, Isaac asked the doubts in his heart.

"Why didn't people from other satellite cities come to help?", this was the most perplexing place in his heart.

The Earl of Birmingham seemed a little indifferent, "Everyone is just waiting and watching, the Orlando Empire has become more and more tragic in the past few years, and the family is about to be ruined at every turn, in fact, everyone has long complained about the Orlando family in their hearts." It's just that they don't dare to show it in normal times, and at this time they may not stand up against the rule of the Orlando family, but they can treat it negatively. ”
