Chapter 499: Reaction of States
Compared with the deep father-daughter relationship in the royal family of Paris, in the gloomy palace hall of Varu, Gavin XIII's face is a little terrifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although he thought he knew Leo very well from his previous interactions with Leo, Gavin XIII never imagined that Leo would come to this point.
Although the restored Paris Empire has lost its former glory, it is after all the accumulation of thousands of years dormant by the Paris family, and the three major knights, the three main legions, and the garrison have all been destroyed in the hands of Leo. If he hadn't known Leo's origins, Gavin XIII would have wanted to shout: Where did this Leo come out of a demon who had killed an empire on his own?
Seeing that the Paris Empire has no power to recover, once the Principality of Pritz annexes the Paris Empire, its strength will skyrocket, and the life of Gavin XIII, who has a vendetta with Leo, may not be even more comfortable.
A heavy, oppressive depression was brewing in the main hall of the Varu Palace, since the Duke of Solo and the Patriarch Nathaniel were degraded, there was no minister in the entire Varu Empire who dared to disobey His Majesty the Emperor, even the Duke of Rawls, who was favored and arrogant, could only honestly pretend to be a clay statue and stand quietly aside, for fear of being angered by His Majesty the Emperor.
Unlike the emerging Paris Empire, the outdated Varu Empire is now afraid that except for the four major legions, the other legion troops do not have much combat effectiveness, which Gavin XIII knows very well, but the old aristocratic forces have long been entrenched and rooted in the empire, far from being able to deal with Gavin XIII, and they can only let them slowly corrode everything in the empire.
However, only the four major legions, Gavin XIII are firmly grasped in his hands, and will definitely not compromise with the aristocratic forces. As long as the four legions were in the hands of Gavin XIII, he would have enough confidence to maintain the majesty of the royal family and deter the nobles who crossed the line. But with the four legions alone, I am afraid that they are far from being the opponents of Leo, which makes Gavin XIII secretly angry, and even more terrified.
At this time, Gavin XIII would wake up to why Leo would give up his aristocratic position, and why he didn't care about the high-ranking officials given by the imperial capital at all, because only when he had strong military strength would he have more right to speak. No amount of scheming and wisdom is in vain in the face of absolute force, but unfortunately Gavin XIII understood this truth too late, and he had already abandoned Leo and chose those nobles who exuded the smell of decay and decay all day long.
In the royal palace of Lorraine, King Pique felt even more fear than Gavin XIII.
After all, the Duchy of Pritz was originally a vassal state belonging to the Kingdom of Lorraine, but now it is a reversal of the situation. Once the Principality of Priedz has the desire to compete for hegemony and has the intention of not being subordinate, then the original suzerain, the Kingdom of Lorraine, will bear the brunt.
What's more, after King Peake succeeded to the throne, because he was afraid of Leo's ability, he had repeatedly instructed to curb the supply of materials to Pritz City, and repeatedly plunged Pritz City into a material crisis. But all this came to naught after the Principality of Pritz defeated the Paris Empire, and instead became a reason for the Principality of Pritz to counterattack, how could King Peake not be afraid?
Moreover, the most crucial problem is that the leader of the Royal Praetorian Legion of Lorraine is a close confidant of Leo, and that Michel Ney has only won over the hearts of the Royal Praetorian with his amazing sword skills. And that Merlin mage, why did he get into the magic academy in a daze at that time?
Fortunately, the wisdom of that person's mind, insight, knowledge, and experience have already surpassed the dean of any magic academy, even if Mage Merlin has been gone for a long time, the legend of Mage Merlin is still circulating in the magic academy, and in the minds of those magicians, this Mage Merlin may have surpassed himself as a king.
The Praetorian Legion and the Magician, the two most powerful forces in the kingdom of Lorraine, are in the hands of the Grand Duke of Pritz, and now King Pique's life is really not good.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, King Peake was ordered to turn the tide with the assistance of Archduke Leo and save the fate of the Kingdom of Lorraine. But Pique knew very well in his heart that what he did as a king was very limited, and it didn't even make a difference with him or not, and his control over the entire Lorraine Kingdom was getting weaker and weaker.
As the son of King Fairman, Pique is unwilling to lose his father's prestige, nor does he want the Kingdom of Lorraine to be buried in his hands, perhaps, he really needs to do something to change everything, even if it is to risk the world's condemnation.
Not only the Paris Empire, the Varu Empire, and the Kingdom of Lorraine, which are neighbors of the Principality of Pritz, but it can be said that all the countries on the entire continent have raised their evaluation of the Principality of Pulize to a high-risk level, especially some small countries that are closer to the Principality of Pritz, and they are even more worried.
Even in the Divine Griffin Empire, far in the northwest, there has been a lot of waves. The nobles who were originally opposed to accepting Leo, the exiled prince and claiming that he must be a liar, kept their mouths shut, and even the queen in the harem did not dare to go to the emperor to make noise again.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had been arguing with the Empress for several days because of the defeat of the Bright Sect, was finally able to clear his ears for a while, and he was busy gathering his younger brothers and sons to celebrate Leo who was far away in Paris.
Rishi raised his glass and celebrated his twin brother from afar, but before he could rejoice for a while, the reprimand from His Majesty the Emperor made him suddenly depressed: "Rishi, look at Leo, he has never relied on any help from the empire, he has built such a big career from scratch, and look at you, doing nothing all day long, how can you become a qualified crown prince?"
"Leo is Leo, I'm me!Besides, isn't it true that the Empire hasn't helped Leo in any way?" Rishi's whispered muttering made His Majesty the Emperor suddenly blow his beard and stare angrily.
However, Prince Grantham was on the side to help his nephew speak: "Yes, it's no wonder Rishi, now I'm afraid everyone in the whole continent knows that those elite legions around Leo may not be able to get rid of our Holy Griffin Empire!"
"Grantham, why do you say such a thing? Doesn't anyone else know, isn't it clear to you, the Prince? All the legions of our Holy Griffon Empire have no action at all in their respective stations, and the legions of Ao there must be himself...... Train!" His Majesty the Emperor's voice of reprimand and rebuttal became smaller and smaller, in fact, he was secretly wondering in his heart, so how did Leo get so many elite soldiers?
