The king held his forehead and said helplessly, "Then, according to the young nobleman, how should we deal with the threat of the elves?" Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

He knew that Duke Regino was going to make him bleed this time, but he didn't know how big his appetite was. Elves should not be a threat at all, and the several invasions recorded in history have not all ended in the end.

The ministers in the hall immediately talked about it, but no one dared to stand up. After all, if you shoot the first bird, although you may get greater benefits by standing up first, if you don't guess the meaning of the person above, it's over.

At this time, Hubert was the first to stand up, and he had roughly guessed what Duke Regino was thinking. The royal family is now weakened, and most of the nobles who support the royal family are old nobles who have no real power. The Rising Faction controls the empire's economy and most of its military, but their control over the imperial capital is limited to street patrols.

Moreover, as long as the royal family firmly grasped the two armies of the city defense army and the Praetorian Guard, the emerging aristocracy led by the Duke of Regino would not dare to make a mistake in the open. If you want to do something against the royal family, you can only kill one of these two armies except assassination

Assassination is a no-brainer, almost every week, the palace will be patronized by several groups of mysterious people, but often in vain. Now it seems that the best way is to keep the army in your hands.

It stands to reason that they only need to slowly and secretly corrupt these two armies. After several generations of soldiers, these two armies will definitely come under their control. But no one wants to wait that long, if the army is slowly eroded by them, the emperor is estimated to die of old age.

And the best way to speed up the replacement of the army is through war. And isn't there a war waiting for them right in front of them?

The city defense army is an army that is absolutely impossible to leave the walls of the imperial capital, and their duty is to protect the safety of the imperial capital. It is even more undesirable to start a war on the periphery of the imperial capital, the defense of the imperial capital is impregnable, and if you want to kill and injure the army in it, you don't know how much it will cost.

From this point of view, the best way is to let the Janissaries out. The Praetorian Guard had fought the Elves a hundred years ago, but it was a defensive battle at that time, so the losses were relatively minor. Now it's time for the Praetorian Guards to go to the front line to attack the elves' defensive line, and as long as the slightest command is not right, the losses will definitely not be less.

What's more, as long as the Praetorian Guard is dispatched, the emperor will also have to drive the expedition in person, and it is too easy to do something in the midst of the chaos.

Hubert said to the Emperor in a very sincere tone: "Your Majesty, the elves have repeatedly attacked, and we have always been passive defense. This time, the elves have taken possession of our largest mine, where the gold reserves reach one-third of our country's, and it is the land we must reclaim. In the past, when the elves attacked, we just defended, and then waited for the elves to retreat automatically.

But this time it was different from the past, and there was no news from the Mage Tower, which was used to spy on the north, until now. The elves must be secretly plotting something, and according to the past situation, the elves should have attacked Iowa a long time ago. They must have wanted to occupy the barren land if they never crossed it, and maybe even the trees had been planted.

According to the annals, elves are formidable enemies, and the average army would simply be sent to death if they did not rely on the walls to defend it. But we're going on the offensive this time. The Southern Legion is still at war with Lesotho, and I've heard of it in the far north of the Empire.

Now it seems that only the Praetorian Guard can take on this task, and we only have ......"

"Shut up!Where did you come from, a hairy boy, how dare you say anything here to let the Praetorian Guards attack the elves!Can the Praetorian Guards move at will!" A nobleman who looked older than the Emperor who was nearly 60 years old interrupted Hubert angrily.

The old nobleman looked very angry, shouting and waving his fist at Hubert, completely ignoring whether his actions had ruined his aristocratic image.

The Duke of Regino stood in front of Hubert and blocked the old nobles. He said unhurriedly: "Count Lusen, are you a little too out of shape. His Majesty the Emperor hasn't spoken yet, so you jump out first. Give me back!"

The earl named Lu Sien stared at the Duke of Regino with resentment, his hand was held and put down, and in the end he still did not dare to argue with this young duke who had invaded the government and the opposition.

Duke Regino watched Lu Sien retreat with satisfaction, and then he smiled at the emperor and asked, "So, Your Majesty the Emperor, what do you think?"

"Whatever you say, be it! Let the Praetorian Guards go out, and I'll go and fight the long ears myself. There was no sadness on Cyril IX's old face, as if he had known the outcome of the affair.

Duke Regino nodded with great satisfaction: this negotiation went unexpectedly smoothly, and the emperor easily gave up the biggest trump card in his hand. It seems that he also understands that there is no hope for the current royal family. The prince, who is inferior to those pigs alone, can't fight himself. As for the princess who is a little more useful, ha! I'm still very young.

......

After the end of the early dynasty, Cyril IX still sat on his throne and did not move, and when everyone gradually dispersed, Count Lu Sien worriedly said to the emperor who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, I really don't understand, why are you like this, the Praetorian Guard on which the royal family depends has been abandoned! As long as the Praetorian Guard is in hand, he Regino will not dare to make a mistake." It's good now, what should the future of the royal family do?"

"Duke Regino is no longer something that a mere Praetorian Guard can stop. Even if we don't let the Praetorian Guard out this time, he'll find a way to force us to comply.

His family has been dissatisfied with the royal family since his grandfather, and after three generations of accumulation, his current power is no longer rivaled by any organization in Qatar. I'm the one who caused the current situation!

It was my incompetence that brought him to where he is now, and instead of dying, it is better to find a way out for future generations. When Cyril IX said these words, it was as if he had lost all strength and sat down on his throne.

Count Lu Sien said to the emperor worriedly: "We just gave up? This is the land left to us by our ancestors! The royal family has lasted for nearly four hundred years, and we can't let the inheritance of the royal family be cut off in our hands like this, Your Majesty!"

"I'm glad the royal family has a loyal nobleman like you, but we're doomed. Prepare your own way Lu Sien, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, I will give you this advice. Cyril IX closed his eyes and uttered these words with great difficulty.
