"Hudson, I'm afraid not!

Franz is a child, how to cope with this kind of big scene. You'd better run for it yourself, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Melissa hurriedly objected.

She has no problem with raising her son, but it would be too much to let her teenage eldest son represent the Coslow family at the coronation ceremony.

Facing the old fox from all over the kingdom, it is estimated that he has been sold, and he has to help others count the money.

"Don't worry, Franz won't have problems with this trip to the royal capital. Even if he makes a small mistake, everyone will tolerate him.

The war is over, and the major factions in the kingdom want me to retire, how can I do anything.

Whoever dares to provoke me out of retreat is an enemy of the kingdom.

The problems encountered in the family now do not need my help, and someone will help solve them. ”

Hudson said confidently.

The principle of "the bird hides the bow" can be applied everywhere. After the battle, the marshal retreated to the countryside, which was the best choice for all parties.

The etiquette of the kingdom has not collapsed, the morality of the nobles has not deteriorated, and everyone is accustomed to dealing with problems according to the rules.

Looking at the court battles, you can know that Caesar IV has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the political struggle is so fierce that the king is hollowed out, and no minister has been killed, relying on the protection of rules.

Compared with the bottomless political struggle, Hudson still prefers this kind of rule-based play - worry-free!

……

The news that the kingdom was about to become an empire spread, and the whole continent was boiling.

When the Frankish kingdom became an empire, it immediately fell into the target of public criticism and was beaten by everyone.

If it weren't for the invasion of the geocentric race, the Franks would not have been able to pass the test so easily if they had made a compromise in time.

The first reaction of those in power in various countries was: how dare the Alpha Person?

After calming down, everyone suddenly found that it seemed that the Alpha Empire was established, and everyone really couldn't do anything.

Armed intervention is simply too difficult.

No matter how much the younger brother in the five-nation alliance deviates from the boss, the alliance relationship is still maintained after all.

Shikoku, which has suffered heavy losses, also needs the tiger skin of the Arfa to deter internal and external enemies.

The end of the continental war does not mean that local conflicts no longer exist.

Armistice treaties are only bound by large-scale wars. No one can control the skirmish of the 180 people.

The newly established Seven Grassland Kingdoms, although they have the support of the countries of the Southern Continent, are currently only an empty shelf.

If you want to intervene with arms, you need the countries of the southern continent to transfer troops from their hometowns and carry out an epic expedition.

I don't know if we can win the war, but anyway, throwing millions of troops out will require enough financial and material resources to drag down any country.

Whether or not to gamble on the fortunes of the country for the sake of an imperial title requires careful consideration.

Rutsia.

"Where did the Imperial Law of the Alpha come from?"

Charles III asked with concern.

The biggest difference between a kingdom and an empire is not the comprehensive national strength, but the legal system.

Every empire in the history of mankind that can be established has its own legal system.

If this issue is not resolved, even if the establishment of an empire is declared, it will not be recognized by the outside world.

"Your Majesty, judging from the information gathered, they are not preparing the legal system of any empire in the history of mankind, but are preparing to use the crown snatched from the empire!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Jesús, immediately replied.

Frankly, using the crown stolen from the Orc Empire is a bit of a child's play.

However, it is also the least controversial legal system.

The legal system of the Terran Empire, regardless of which dynasty it inherited, was very controversial.

At any time, a large group of heirs may jump out and compete with the Alpha Kingdom for the rule of law.

Only the crown of the Orc Empire is different, this thing is not the human world, and everyone can't participate in the competition at all.

Destroying the orc empire by force and forcibly taking the orc crown is really too much in line with the appetite of the younger generation.

"Cheap Caesar IV!"

Charles III said angrily.

I was depressed when I thought about it, and when I was the emperor, a large number of countries sent troops to crusade. If he hadn't withstood the pressure, he would have almost become the laughing stock of the mainland.

Now that Caesar IV is going to be emperor, the countries have not even crusaded except for a few words of verbal condemnation.

At least up to now, no country has invited them to send troops to conquer the Alpha Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, for the entire human race, the establishment of the Alpha Empire is also a good thing.

With them on the Northern Continent, we don't have to be distracted.

As small states continue to disappear and the era of great annexation has arrived, the empire has more important things to accomplish. ”

After the words of the Minister of War, Count Fils, everyone understood it directly.

If you want to increase the power of the empire in a short period of time, the best way is to annex the Terran countries.

Even if you can succeed in crusading against aliens or something, it will be a long process to get benefits.

"Earl, the impact of this matter is not trivial, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the crosshairs of the public, so we should not end it too soon.

It's better to encourage other countries to act first, and when the rules are broken, it's not too late to get involved!

The Arfa is a good chess piece, and the Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe have been delivered to their mouths.

Even if the upper echelons can restrain their desires, the small and medium-sized nobles below can't help but take action.

After opening this bad head, their reputation within the Terran world will be bad, and other countries will be wary of them.

We pushed it from behind the scenes, and the five-nation alliance collapsed in an instant.

If conditions permit, you can also incite the other four countries to form an alliance against the Arfa. ”

Duke Bergson, the Prime Minister, said with a smile.

The Seven Kingdoms of the Steppe were able to be restored, and the Frankish Empire made great efforts.

Without their lead, a pack of lost dogs would not have been able to enter the eyes of the Alliance.

The outside world thought that they were doing this to curb the development of the Alfa person, and no one could have imagined that this was actually a bait sent out.

In fact, at the beginning, they also thought about laying a few nails in the grassland, and after in-depth research, they found that it was not advisable.

The family background of the Seven Grassland Kingdoms is almost zero, and the personal ability of those in power is not top-notch.

The probability of being able to support it is too low, but the manpower and financial resources that need to be invested are a terrifying amount, and everyone decisively gives up after weighing the pros and cons.

"It's not just about the Alfa people, it's about the careerists of other countries, it's also the partners we need.

If they don't jump out and stir up the situation and weaken the authority of the Terran Alliance, we won't be able to move freely at all! ”

Charles III added calmly.

Ambition comes from strength!

The Frankish Empire has grown to the present point, and it is not far from the bottleneck of the ceiling.

On the premise that you can't attack the aliens, if you want to go further, you must either make a breakthrough in productivity, or merge within the Terran world.

Doing so now is a foreign invasion.

After a few decades, it will become a great and sacred cause to unify the human race.

From the day the empire was founded, the Frankish Empire was destined to embark on the path of foreign expansion.

The forced relinquishment of the crown to the rule of law in other regions deeply pierced the heart of every Frank.

……

Similar scenes are constantly being staged in various parts of the mainland.

Compared with the countries of the Southern Continent, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent and the Principality of Moxi are obviously more panicked.

His family was beaten outside, but the boss was soaring all the way, and envy and jealousy were certain.

The difference in strength makes them can only hold their dissatisfaction in their hearts for the time being.

Royal Palace of Dapest.

"The Arfa promised to support our ascension to the status of a kingdom as long as we supported them in building an empire.

If you have any thoughts, please say them! ”

George said with a solemn expression.

Normally, he would be very happy if he could go further.

The current situation is obviously different, in addition to this plan, he was also invited to participate in the establishment of the Alpha Empire.

Caesar IV promised him that as soon as he joined the Alpha Empire, he would immediately crown him king of the kingdom of Moxi.

And to promise not to interfere in their internal affairs, only to maintain relations in name.

There is no doubt that after being a Grand Duke for so many years, George does not want to send people under the fence.

No matter how many promises are made now, no one can guarantee that they will be fulfilled in the future.

In contrast, it is most stable to continue to maintain a high level of independence.

"Your Majesty, we don't have the capital to refuse!

The time of the coronation was even announced, which was obviously inevitable.

Whoever stands in the way at this time is their enemy.

The principality is heavily influenced by the Alpha Kingdom, and the people cannot accept the two countries turning their faces. ”

Count Karadzic said tactfully.

As foreign minister, he is very aware of the current international situation and knows what it means if the two countries turn their backs.

Don't use military means, economic sanctions alone can turn them into islands.

The economic losses may be barely contained, and the political consequences are unpredictable.

"Karadzic is right, we can't turn the other cheek with the Arfa now.

Moreover, on the issue of Caesar IV's proclamation as emperor, our position is not at all important.

Oppose it or not, the Alfa will do it, and no one has been able to stop it yet.

Instead of making some useless objections, it is better to take the opportunity to return the favor. ”

The Prime Minister, the Marquis Conrad, spoke in a somewhat heavy tone, and it was evident that he was not satisfied with such a result.

No matter how good the alliance is, it can't stand the erosion of interests.

The two countries were once the model of allies, but by now, the strength of the Arfa has posed a serious threat to the security of the Duchy of Moxi.

The fact that the two countries are friendly now does not mean that the relations between the two countries will continue to be friendly in the future.

Often, all it takes is a change of government, or a change of monarch, to change the external stance.

The matter of pit allies, there are too many things that have happened in the history of mankind.

"Since you all think so, then the Prime Minister will trouble you to go to the Alpha Kingdom on my behalf to attend the coronation of Caesar IV.

If something happens, politically we will still support Alfa, but only politically! ”

George said in an accentuated tone.

Deep down, he desperately wanted someone to come over and mess with this coronation.

Everyone is so enthusiastic about being an emperor, and the increase from king to emperor is naturally not just a name, but also accompanied by a series of political interests.

Originally, the Alpha Kingdom was a giant, but after going any further, the gap between the two sides would be even greater.

……

Time passed, and in the presence of many guests, the coronation ceremony kicked off in the Emerald Palace.

The nobles of the kingdom who participated in the ceremony smiled one after another.

When a king becomes an emperor, not only Caesar IV is progressing, but many people below are also being canonized.

Some people are proud, and some people are frustrated.

Alpha I, who was supposed to be a witness, quietly withdrew from the venue and vented alone in a dense forest.

If nothing else, from now on, the distance between him and the throne has become even farther away.

Knowing that it was useless, he could not even come out against it.

It was not only Caesar IV who wanted to establish the Alpha Empire, but also countless nobles in the kingdom.

Even if there are no substantial benefits, the gold content of the imperial nobility is higher than that of the kingdom.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Looking at the phantom monster that suddenly appeared in front of him, Alpha I asked vigilantly.

This is the inner courtyard of the palace, and if he can quietly appear in front of him, his strength will definitely not be weak.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so nervous, this is just an illusory doppelganger, and it will not threaten your safety.

I took the liberty to come and visit mainly to help you ascend to the throne of God. ”

The Phantom Monster's explanation not only did not make Alpha I relax, but became more and more cautious.

"Don't pretend to be a ghost here, if I want to ascend the throne, I won't be the junior who appears at today's coronation ceremony!"

Losing does not lose, Alpha I does not want to expose the truth.

As the founding monarch, political means can't play with the younger generations, which is a very humiliating thing in itself, and naturally can't be publicized everywhere.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have come with sincerity.

Compared with you, the king who conquered the world, Caesar IV, who came to the present by pure luck, is not worth mentioning at all.

But after today, it is different, as the emperor who created an empire, his fame is bound to increase greatly.

When the time comes, even if you want to participate, you won't have a chance.

So it's better not to let him live too long! ”

The phantom finished speaking, and Alpha I fell silent for a moment.

Watching others advance all the way, his own strength has been standing still for hundreds of years, and he has a good mentality if he does not collapse.

"What do you want to do?"

Alpha I asked instinctively.

As a monarch, Caesar IV's security measures were very tight.

Especially after suffering the loss of Caesar III's assassination, the kingdom learned a lesson, even ordinary nobles were not allowed to approach the king.

"A normal assassination, there is certainly no chance of victory, but there are still abnormalities.

This is a blessed and sealed soul, which comes from the kingdom of God, and as long as it is contaminated, it cannot be escaped.

Just find a way to get this thing close to Caesar IV.

You don't need to worry about the follow-up. ”

After saying that, regardless of whether Alpha I agreed or not, he threw it at the scroll, and then disappeared directly on the spot.

Looking at the extra scroll in his hand, Alpha I's inner world launched a fierce struggle.

Killing the monarch is taboo in political struggles.

No matter who it is, as long as it is mixed in, it will not end well.

After a moment of hesitation, Alpha I silently put away the scroll, apparently having made his decision.

Returning to the crowd again, he quietly watched Caesar IV being surrounded by him, and completed his coronation under the watchful eye.

"Long live the Alpha Empire!"

"Long live the Alpha Empire!"

"Long live the Alpha Empire!"

……

The cheers of the crowd again and again constantly stimulated the nerves of Alpha I, and a voice in his heart kept telling him:

Mine, these are what should be mine!

In a burst of laughter, a new round of aristocratic canonization also kicked off under the auspices of Caesar IV.

"Canonize Marshal Hudson, Grand Duke of Snow Moon!"

As the first person in the army, Hudson was the first to be canonized, and everyone at the scene did not find it strange.

Most of the vast land of the Alpha Empire was fought down by his troops, and he deserved to rank first on the list of meritorious heroes.

The only regret is that the protagonist is absent and can only be led by Franz on the spot.

The ordinary nobles on the periphery were pity, but Caesar IV, as emperor, was very happy.

……
