Wearing a golden white gold necklace and a gorgeous purple velvet coat, the Emperor Louis Bird proudly stepped into the chamber.

Marienburg Municipality Fan?? Remerswick, Nord Elector Theodoric, Oster Elector Maximian, Midden Elector Todd Bollinger, Ostmark Elector Wolfram and others immediately stood up to salute.

The emperor returned the salute with a friendly smile. However, everyone knows that the outcome of this war did not have much to do with the emperor himself. Rick's army did not reach the city harbor until after the battle. If the emperor's credit is concerned, the most he can do is to give early warning, and then deliver some supplies to Marienburg after the war. Yes, that's all. And his role is not even as important as that of the northern lord who has been sitting in the corner, silent. At the very least, it was Rhodes who led the Northern Coalition and crushed the morale of the Norscans at a critical moment. At least, it was Rhodes, at least two months in advance, who sent a warning to the Reich. The most regrettable thing is that he is not an imperial person, not an emperor, nor a lord or nobleman, and cannot organize the imperial army.

However, through this battle, the people of the three northern provinces, as well as Marienburg, have come to know this lord from Kislev in a whole new way.

Although at this moment, the candidates are still polite in front of the emperor, but everyone can see that this is just etiquette, well, just etiquette...... A warrior and proud lord like the Nord Elector, the Emperor, may have had a deep contempt for the Emperor. But no one said it. This is true of all the political activities of the Empire, which are nothing more than hypocritical performances again and again.

Rod shifted his position so he could see the situation in the room. Here everyone pulls a face, needless to say, the issue of the distribution of benefits after the war will again become an inevitable problem. Yes, for Bretonnia and now Kislev, this is not a problem, but for the Empire, it is a real problem.

I have protected Marienburg, and I have protected Aldolphe, the capital of the Empire. Theodoric and Wolfram may have been thinking this in their minds at the moment.

"Thank you for coming, Your Excellency. Barbarians have done indelible damage to our homeland. However, I think that through our joint efforts, these wounds will be slowly filled. Farmers have returned to the countryside and trade has gradually begun to resume. ”

Marienburg Municipality Fan?? Remerswick whispered.

His words are the opening remarks, however, even if they are polite words, there is not a word of nonsense. The words about us mean a lot. The former refers to Marienburg itself, while the latter refers to the empire as a whole. In other words, you must support the restoration of Marienburg......

Rod understood the meaning, but as an outsider, there was no need for him to mix it up. For the Empire, Rhodes gave up. One person, to be exact, an outsider, simply cannot change a huge country. What's more, it's not a country at all. Rather, it is a large kingdom of many small kingdoms that resembles a federal government. King Bretonnia, Tsar Kislev still has real power, and the Emperor, hehe......

"I will ask the traders in Aldolph to carry it out, and in the next three months, reduce the tariffs on all kinds of goods trade in order to resume trade in the shipping lanes. Also, in order to help Marienburg through this difficult situation, I will gather food and deliver it to the city port. ”

The emperor promised.

"Thank you so much. ”

Fan?? Remerswick exclaimed. Of course, in fact, Marienburg is not his own decision. The huge Marienburg ostensibly had such positions as the mayor of the city, the grand magistrate, and the grand magistrate. But in fact, the operation and real power of the city are in the hands of several big families, and several big families are jointly in power and jointly manage the city. Fan?? Remerswick was nothing more than an elected administrator and spokesperson. His words and deeds were pre-planned. It's like a marionette.

"There's one more good news for you. ”

The Emperor went on to say—

"Engineers from Aldolph are already on their way here and expect to arrive at Marienburg in a week's time. The city needed to be fortified, with stronger walls and more powerful artillery. Come to think of it, if the cannons defending the city could have sunk the barbarian fleet directly on the city walls, there would not have been so much trouble later. It will not cause hundreds of Imperial people to shed blood and die. ”

"Thank you ......"

Fan?? Remerswick replied in a low voice. It can be heard that the tone of the two thanks is different, and the volume is also different. In fact, the reduction of customs duties and the relief of grain and grass are exactly what Marienburg needs right now. The nobles and officials did not lack food and supplies, but the commoners lacked it. The city's administrators are not stupid enough to ignore the feelings of the civilians, and they can't afford to let the civilians rise up and make trouble. Therefore, the materials promised by the emperor are still very important to Marienburg.

As for the engineers who the latter is talking about...... It's in the realm of doing business. Who knows if these engineers who came in the dust were the emperor's subordinates, and did not come with the purpose of making a fortune? The reinforcement of the walls of Marienburg could have been done by the craftsmen of Marienburg themselves, but it would take a little longer. But in the short term, there won't be a second large-scale barbarian invasion. So, it's okay to stay a little longer. At least, the money can't be earned by outsiders. But the emperor's kindness is not easy to refuse.

As for the artillery...... The motivation is even more obvious. Marienburg has been separated from the Empire for a long time, and it is impossible for the Empire to provide arms to the defenders of the city unconditionally, so what is the purpose of strengthening the fortifications of the city, not for the purpose of the arms trade? Everyone knew it, but did not break it, because the Emperor's support was so justified......

"Speaking of thanks, shouldn't Remerswick also thank us? The soldiers of the Nord, Oster, and Ostmark sacrifices a lot for this war. The soldiers must not be allowed to shed blood and tears. Right?"

The Nord candidate Theodoric grabbed the topic and said. Although it was just normal speech, Theodoric's loud voice made the atmosphere a little embarrassing.

Of course, Rhodes also heard Theodoric's words - asking for funding. The coalition forces of the three northern provinces came all the way to support, and it was not given in vain. Marienburg no longer belonged to the Empire, and this favor could only be exchanged for naked money. It's just that Rhodes is a little ridiculous, at this moment, even if Marienburg still belongs to the empire, I'm afraid that this "favor" will still have to be exchanged for money, but it won't be so direct.

As the spokesperson of Marienburg, Van ?? Remersvik naturally heard it. It's just that he didn't give an answer right away. Instead, he showed a playful smile -

"That's nature. The people of Marienburg thanked the Imperial Legion for their support. We will never forget this kindness. ”

Theodoric almost broke out and asked how much he was going to get. But as an elector, he can't be so rude and direct.

"We will erect monuments to the martyrs and heroes, and we will write down this in the children's books. ”

Fan?? Remersvi continued to speak sensationally. It's just that no one cares about him talking this nonsense. But I had to cooperate with him and listen to him finish reading.
