There is an old saying that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Archduke William is plotting for the throne of the Varu Empire, and the Kingdom of Lorraine is plotting for the three southern provinces of Archduke William. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, those magicians never thought that one day they would be in the game, and the Kingdom of Lorraine, where magical education resources flourished, would also be stared at.

Just to the southwest of the Varu Empire, in the middle of the Harvest Plains, in the Lasdoya River Valley, there is a place bordering both the Kingdom of Lorraine and the Varu Empire, the super-small principality of Paris.

Paris was a huge empire that unified the entire human kingdom hundreds of years ago, but it fell apart due to internal and external troubles, and the major feudal princes of the empire became independent one after another, gradually forming the current states of the continent. The original Paris royal family gradually declined with the fall of the empire, from an empire to a kingdom, and after the prosperity of the Varu Empire, it was forced to bow to the Varu Empire and was reduced to a principality.

Successive Grand Dukes of Paris could only barely maintain their last vestiges of face with the little land left by their ancestors. After all, the Paris Empire was once glorious, even if it was a matter of time and time, but it still had a heritage that could not be underestimated, and the successive Grand Dukes of Paris also worked hard to repeat the glory of the empire in the past.

"Has the League of Arbitrators agreed to my invitation?" asked in a heavy tone on the top floor of the Grand Duke's Mansion, in a study room that overlooked most of Paris City, and the Grand Duke of Paris leaned in front of the bookshelf in front of the window, looking at the lively Paris Royal Square in the distance.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but the League of Arbitrators has rejected our invitation to the banquet, and it seems that they do not intend to stop in Paris, but go straight to the city of Andes, the capital of the Varu Empire. A middle-aged knight replied, standing respectfully in the study.

"Hmph, they look down on our little 'Duchy of Paris!'" Grand Duke Paris said with some dissatisfaction as he took turns tapping the windowsill with the five fingers of his right hand.

"This ...... It seems that they are in a hurry to get to the Varu Empire. The middle-aged knight didn't dare to take up the topic.

"Yes, such a big empire is in such a mess now, it's hard to say whether it will be divided because of it. Those who pretend to be the peacemaker of mankind will be in a hurry!" said Archduke Paris, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.

"This arbitration team is of a very high standard, with Prince Grantham of the Holy Griffin Empire and Cardinal Owen of the Sect of Light personally intervening, maybe it can really appease the strife in the Varu Empire!" the middle-aged knight continued.

"Heh~, how is that possible, and those arrogant guys in the arbitration team will take themselves seriously! Disputes between local forces, naturally no one dared to disobey them, but it was the Varu Empire, even if it was constantly weakening and declining, but after all, it was the third largest country after the Holy Griffin Empire and the Bright Sect, and it was located alone at the eastern end of the continent, how could the two empires in the west suppress the two emperors and queens of the Varu Empire, I am afraid that people may not take the results of the arbitration team seriously. Laughing contemptuously, Grand Duke Paris said, shaking his head.

"Besides, the drooling of the Varu Empire is also the Kingdom of Lorraine. With a sharp pull of the curtains, the heavy velvet curtains plunged most of the study into the darkness, and the words of the Grand Duke of Paris came in a shadowy voice: "And I...... More to do!"

The middle-aged knight stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, rest assured, the three major knights of Wind, Glory, and Rose have all been sent out, and everything is going according to plan!

......

On the trade route to the Varu Empire, a huge knight regiment escorted an arbitration group composed of continental countries, and rushed to the Valu Imperial Capital non-stop.

"Your Royal Highness Prince Grantham, those boys are tired from all these days, let's find a place to rest!" suggested Cardinal Owen, who was a little chubby and looked kind, as he lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.

"No! As far as I know, the situation in the Varu Empire is already very serious, and the differences and struggles between the Imperial Party and the Later Party are getting bigger and bigger, and the sooner we arrive, the sooner we can resolve the crisis. "Prince Grantham was a handsome middle-aged man, with a neatly trimmed beard between his lips, and he seemed to be a man of great concern for his appearance.

"Hehe~, does His Royal Highness really want the Waru Empire to rise again? Although we must listen to the teachings of the Supreme God of Light and treat every compatriot with kindness and fraternity, I think that a Waru Empire that is more than strife and has no time to look around is the most in the interests of our two countries. ”

"Owen has a point, if it was before the orcs went on a hunt, I would have supported your claim. However, judging from the actions of the orcs in the autumn hunt this time, it seems that the orc empire has found a way to cross the vast badlands and wastelands. If the Varu Empire falls apart like the Paris Empire back then, whether it is annexed or divided by the surrounding countries, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to deal with the orcs from the Badlands and Wastelands. Once the orcs really invade from the Badlands and Wastelands, it will directly threaten the safety of the entire human world. And such a situation is absolutely not allowed. Prince Grantham said.

"Hmm~, you have a point!" Archbishop Owen pondered for a moment, and had to agree with Prince Grantham's opinion, after all, as a member of the arbitration panel, he should still focus on the overall situation of the entire human world.

"Your Majesty Owen doesn't need to worry too much, I believe that with our prestige, we will definitely be able to reconcile the disputes between the forces of the various forces in Varu, as long as we have made an arbitration, I believe they will not dare to disobey, and there should be no accidents on this trip to the Varu Empire. "Prince Grantham is quite confident in the authority of his party.

"I hope so......," Archbishop Owen sighed.

"Speaking of orcs, I heard that this time the orc wolf cavalry legion attacked the rear of the Varu Empire, only to be destroyed in front of the castle of a local fiefdom baron. I can't believe that the wolf cavalry, which has terrified countless soldiers, could be defeated by a baron's private soldiers, if it were not for repeated confirmation. On this trip to the Varu Empire, you must meet this amazing baron and his soldiers. Prince Grantham stroked his beard gently, a look of anticipation on his face. (To be continued.) )
