In the Holy Calendar year, Franz succeeded to the title of Grand Duke of Xueyue, and the situation on the mainland was very different from that of thirty years ago.

After a long civil war, the three princes of the Central Continent finally reached a ceasefire agreement at the negotiating table under the mediation of the Terran Alliance.

Peace has come, but the three Central and Continental powers, which have suffered a great loss of vitality, have been removed from the list of mainland powers.

Although it maintains the shelf of the kingdom, its international status has been declining again and again, and even some principalities have not been able to catch up with the right to speak.

The ten kingdoms of the continent in the past have become a thing of the past at this moment. The controversy of the human race in the past has become history at this moment.

If the Terrans thirty years ago were regarded as the Spring and Autumn Period, then now we have entered the Warring States Period.

In the past thirty years, not only the Alpha Empire has annexed the Seven Steppe Kingdoms, but several powerful countries in the Southern Continent have also completed their respective strategic goals.

Following the establishment of the Frankish Empire and the Alpha Empire, the Libyans, who grew in strength, established the Ibrian Empire in the Holy Year.

The divided papal states, under pressure from their evil neighbors, established the Holy Confederation in the Holy Calendar Year.

Because no one in power could obey the public, the parliamentary system was finally adopted.

Since then, the Southern Continent has formed a pattern of two empires, three kingdoms, and one alliance.

……

Bathed in bright sunshine, Hudson lay lazily on the Grand Master's chair, and the years did not leave any trace on him.

"Father, the Moxies have sent an invitation, and His Majesty George wants you to be able to attend their founding ceremony next month!"

Franz stepped forward and said.

After thirty years of accumulating strength and being well prepared, the Duchy of Moxi has finally taken this crucial step.

In terms of purely military strength, the strength of the Duchy of Moxi has long surpassed that of many kingdoms. Holding back until now to act, George I can definitely be called the "Gou Daoliu Monarch".

Its own strength is sufficient, and the legal system is ready-made. The Monarch of the Continent of Aslant is a family, not a joke.

In the past, there was no less marriage between the three males of the Northern Continent. George I's mother was the princess of the Warhammer Kingdom.

Although the ranking of succession is far away, as long as the previous heir voluntarily renounces, he can legally inherit the legal system of the Warhammer Kingdom.

Jurisprudence is nothing more than human affection, as the uncle of Caesar V, the Alpha Empire will not oppose his accession to the throne. International resistance, almost non-existent.

To be able to drag on until now, it is purely George I prudence.

"His Majesty George's body and bones, is it about to die?"

Hudson asked with concern.

As a figure of the same era, he has almost retired now, and the former high-spirited George I has now reached his old age.

The lifespan of the monarchs of the Aslant continent is generally not high, and those who can live to this age are already rare.

"Yes, Father!

His Majesty George's body has been in sharp decline since the beginning of autumn.

The Moses were in a hurry to hold the founding ceremony, because they were worried about the changes in the future, and they wanted to finalize it before His Majesty George died. ”

Franz's explanation did not surprise Hudson.

Blood and family affection also have a time limit.

Caesar V would give George I the face of his uncle, which was influenced by the Queen Mother. It is not equal to the cousins below, who can also have the same treatment.

What's more, it is not only George I who is already old, but also the Queen Mother, who may leave one day.

Without this hub, the relationship between the two countries would never have been as harmonious as it is now.

"Tell the Moses that I'll be over there!"

Hudson said with a slight disappointment.

Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still inevitably disappointed when he looked at the acquaintances around him and left one after another.

In the past years, he has sent away too many old people. More people will leave next, and this is the price that Changsheng must pay.

"Father, the contract of the Five-Nation Alliance is about to expire, and the top echelons of the empire want to know your opinion."

Franz continued.

Hudson retired from the stage, but his influence in the empire did not diminish in the slightest.

Everything is as speculated, after surviving the death of many old guys, the faction of military nobles began to take charge of the empire.

It's just that because of the difference in interests, these people have now become the leaders of the major factions, and they are no longer monolithic.

No matter how much changes, Hudson, the old marshal who is mythologized by everyone, still has a very important voice in the empire.

Now there are five major factions in the court, namely: the faction cultivated by Caesar V, the princess faction who follows the Grand Duke of Madeleine, the conservative faction led by the old nobles, the new faction led by the emerging nobles, and the neutral camp that has not joined any faction.

In a sense, the Duchy of Snow Moon can be regarded as a neutral camp. Franz continued Hudson's strategy and never got involved in factional struggles in the empire.

"These guys are addicted to expansion, and the empire hasn't even digested the prairie, and they are actually eyeing their former allies again.

Tell them to make their own decisions on the little things! ”

Hudson said angrily.

It can't be stopped, and once the ambition thing is born, it can't be pushed back in a few words.

The special system of the Alpha Empire fundamentally determines that it is an ever-expanding country. If there is no expansion target one day, it will be the time when the internal contradictions will intensify in an all-round way.

Now in the Alpha Empire, the south and west have completed the initial annexation, and it is almost the world of the big nobles, and the north and east are full of small and medium-sized nobles.

The small and medium-sized nobles who lost the struggle in the wave of annexation, except for a few unlucky ones who died with their lives, most of them entered the steppe to develop.

Half of the conflict between the new and conservative factions in the court is due to a conflict of interest, and the other half is due to hatred.

……

Emerald Palace.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Caesar V frowned.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!

The Alpha Empire is now in full swing, but the Principality of Moxi has grown at an equally rapid pace in recent years. Although he is an uncle, it is standard to be ruthless for the emperor.

On the surface, he has repeatedly expressed his support for George I to inherit the legal system of the Warhammer Kingdom, but that is all a scene.

An uncle who has never met will naturally not have much weight in his mind. The support on the scene is also for the Queen Mother to see.

However, politically, there is no joke, and since he has made his position clear in public, he cannot slap his face and take it back.

"That's it!

The palace minister, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send someone to represent the empire in the celebration of the Moses. Prepare a generous gift for my uncle.

Among the royal family, I asked the Grand Duke of Madeleine to take a trip.

Secretly arrange for our men to find out which forces in the Empire used to participate in the Moxi celebrations. ”

A simple celebration full of intrigues. It can be seen that Caesar V was very jealous of his uncle.

It seems that George I's presence on the mainland is not high, and he has not made earth-shattering events, but the monarch who can turn the tide in the troubled times will definitely not have simple goods.

Those who are good at fighting have no great military exploits, and the same applies to the monarch. Quietly and silently, the development of the country requires a very high degree of political wisdom.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy for the Grand Duke of Madeleine!"

Gong Xiang said with an embarrassed face.

Theoretically, the emperor must be the largest in the empire.

The problem is that Grand Duke Madeleine has a special status, not only the emperor's aunt, but also an auxiliary minister appointed by the emperor, but also a powerhouse in the holy realm.

After the multiple identities were superimposed, the emperor could not directly order.

Perhaps knowing that it was necessary to beat his nephew as soon as possible, when Caesar V was growing up, he was not beaten by the Archduke Madeleine, which was simply the shadow of his childhood.

Even after the pro-government, Caesar V can't do anything about this aunt. Once he was caught, he would be beaten like an emperor.

Caesar V didn't think about looking for a helper, how could Nemadeleine's strength be open, the growth rate was a rapid one, and now he is the strongest person in the royal family.

After so many years of operation, the Archduke of Madeleine's voice in the royal family has long been the same as it was at the beginning.

Especially ten years ago, the two eldest princes in the royal family passed away one after another, and she became the spokesperson for the interests of the royal family in the court.

The picture of the aunt beating her nephew has long been familiar to everyone. Anyway, the Grand Duke of Madeleine acted in a measured manner, and every time Caesar V only felt pain, he could still jump alive after being beaten.

"Tell her that Marshal Hudson will go too. That female devil will definitely pass! ”

Caesar V said in a gaffe.

He also did not have a good impression of Hudson, and in his memory Madeleine was originally a gentle and virtuous princess, only because of Hudson's phrase "beat your nephew as soon as possible", which created his miserable life.

But this auxiliary marshal, he can't be provoked either. Once provoked, this person will come under the banner of Caesar IV to guide his cultivation.

The pampered emperor is just like the children of ordinary nobles. Under the scorching sun, the most rigorous knightly training is carried out.

The strongest man in the mainland personally came to guide his cultivation, but the outside world couldn't ask for it, even the queen mother, who was the most distressed about his son, asked him to study hard and strive to become a powerhouse in the holy realm.

Young and ignorant, he has been inspired to become a strong man in the Holy Land since he was a child, and since then he has been free from the fate of being beaten.

It's a pity that life played a joke on him, the knight's cultivation talent can only be regarded as good, and he belongs to the kind of little genius who is one out of fifty, but he is still far from becoming a powerhouse in the Holy Domain.

The magic talent is really good, the problem is that he has awakened the undead system.

The Alpha Empire does not reject necromancers, but the image of necromancers is really not suitable for the emperor.

The dream of the strong is shattered, and Caesar V can only accept reality.

Suppressed by two demon kings at the same time, his behavior was greatly restricted, and he could only follow the rules of the political game.

……

Royal Palace of Dapest.

George I, with his white hair, was walking around the palace with small steps. This was a new habit that the queen developed after his death.

Everything is the same, except for the renovation of the building, the palace has maintained its original layout.

In his more than 50 years in power, George I did not build a new palace, which is an unusual kind of monarch.

The effect is also leveraged, and the saved financial budget has been used for the development of the country, which has made the Principality of Moxi strong today.

If it weren't for the fact that the neighbors next door were too strong, they needed to avoid their edges, and the achievements of the Principality of Moxi would have already moved the continent.

"Father, the invitations have been sent out, and all the major forces will send representatives to attend our founding ceremony.

Field Marshal Hudson, whom you are most concerned about, also gave a clear answer: on the day of the ceremony, he will come to witness. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the corner of George's mouth smiled slightly.

"Remember, seeing Marshal Hudson, you are going to call Uncle.

Be respectful and handle the relationship well, which will be good for your future.

The Alpha Empire has sharpened its knives, and the internal calls for provoking war have never stopped.

The surrounding alien races have been cleaned up by them. The places available for them to use troops now are either the remnants of the orcs in the poor mountains and bad waters, or the three countries of the Middle Continent and us.

If nothing else, they will not renew the contract after the expiration of the five-nation alliance.

The life and death of the three countries of the Central Continent are now beyond consideration, but the covenant between us and the Alfa must be continued.

While your aunt and I are alive, now is the best time to make a contract. Later, Caesar V may not continue to buy your account.

To perpetuate the Covenant, Field Marshal Hudson was a key figure. Although he is not in the court, his opinions can influence the decision-making of the court.

The Duchy of Snow Moon is far away from us, and there is almost no conflict of interest, and this relationship must be maintained! ”

George I said earnestly.

The love of parents for their children is far-reaching.

George I, who was already old, knew that he did not have much to live, and now he had begun to think about what would happen after his death.

The smooth development of the Principality of Moxi to the present, in addition to its own internal efforts, the good external international environment is also a very important factor.

The interests of countries are changing at any time, and it is difficult to control them at any time.

George I's choice is to seek people!

The key positions are all their own people, and if the interpersonal relations between the top leaders are handled well, the relations between the countries will also be easy to handle.

It's just that he was able to establish a good relationship with the upper echelons of the Alpha Empire, which was based on the product of the times. If you want to replicate it now, there is almost no possibility.

At least Caesar V did not take a queen from the Mossi royal family as he wished, but chose to marry the great nobles of the country to consolidate his imperial power.

Without the help of the pillow wind, once the elderly queen mother dies, their influence in the Alpha Empire will decline rapidly.

"Father, you can rest assured.

Uncle Hudson's side, I've been following it all these years.

The biggest characteristic of the Coslow family is that it is prosperous, and the third generation of the Snow Moon royal family has given birth to six princesses and nine princes, and if conditions allow, I will push the eldest son to marry one of them.

It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, and the identities of my two nieces are one level apart, and it is too difficult to marry and become a queen! ”

Hearing his son's answer, George I smiled with satisfaction.

Under normal circumstances, an upstart like the Principality of Snow Moon is the most despised in royal circles. Even if it is a marriage, it will not make her a queen.

There is no doubt that the Duchy of Snow Moon is an exception. The existence of living military gods makes the outside world dare not regard them as ordinary principalities.

However, this level of marriage is limited to the princess. The crown prince's target is expected to be lower, and even the collateral princess is included in the candidacy category.

There is no way, there are too many people who want to marry the Snow Moon Royal Family, and the Moxi Royal Family is not very competitive in it.

If Hudson wants, the next generation of the Imperial Empress is his granddaughter, and the next generation of the Queen of the Snow Moon Royal Family can also be the Imperial Princess.

High-end political games are often so unpretentious. Fighting, killing, and killing is the next policy after all, and the more jealous you are of the other party, the more you have to turn the other party into your own people.

In the era of feudal kingship, if the political marriage was done well, half of the international troubles were solved.

"Rest assured, as far as I know Hudson, he is a very arrogant man who will not use the marriage of future generations for political gain.

You can take turns arranging for the children of the royal family to travel to the mainland to contact them in the Principality of Snow Moon, and if the two sides can see each other, you can directly come to the door to propose.

Unlike us, the Duchy of Snow Moon has no pressure to survive. Hudson's sons inherited his pride, and they would not refuse a marriage that matched the family.

After all, several of them had inherited Hudson's talents, and they were already eighth-order powerhouses at a young age, so they might break through the Sacred Domain at some point.

There is a big difference between the way we look at things and those of us who are laymen! ”

George I said with a slight loss.

Only in old age do people know the preciousness of life.

Deep down, he also faintly regretted it, if he had worked hard to cultivate when he was young, relying on the blessing of the royal family's resources, he might be an eighth-order powerhouse now.

The threshold of the Sanctuary is difficult to break through, but becoming an eighth-order powerhouse can also live for a few more decades. Even if he became a seventh-order powerhouse, he would not be so old.

"Father is right, it's right to try this kind of thing.

Marshal Hudson's talent is unrivaled in the continent, and even those reincarnated gods cannot be compared.

Although his descendants are slightly inferior, they are also the top talents on the continent. If you can bring Marshal Hudson's excellent talent over, it will make a fortune.

As long as the marriage can be successful, even if it costs a certain price, it is worth it!

This is much more reliable than those fools, who did not hesitate to seek skin with the tiger and ran to plot the bloodline of the gods! ”
