Chapter 101: Imperial Intelligence
Intelligence inside the Salom Empire?
Hodge's heart sank, and he immediately became engrossed, waiting for Mr. Puppet to share information.
As the heir of the Marquis of Bach and a nobleman of the Salom Empire, Hodge is extremely concerned about this kind of information about the Salom Empire.
"This information is related to some families in the Salom Empire."
Mr. Puppet looked at the members and said in a deep voice, "Since the last time Mr. Edward shared the movements of the Giant Court Sect and the Eternal Demon Sect, I asked the first and blood clans within the Salom Empire to inquire about the news, and I want to confirm whether the news of the Salom Empire's deployment of troops in the New Gil region is true?" The Empire's top leaders are leading the matter? ”
"Eventually, I got some interesting information."
"The first, the Emperor of the Salom Empire, Salom IV, has been in a bit of a bad state lately."
"Since May last year, he has rarely appeared in public, and even rarely met with the two consuls, judging from the past intelligence, this is very strange, this emperor has a great desire to control power, even if there are two consuls, for the affairs of the empire, he also likes to meddle and do it himself, but such an emperor has not shown up recently, and he does not interfere with the consul's governance."
"That's a problem in itself."
"Especially in the context of the obvious intention of the imperial top brass to take action against the rebel forces in the New Gil region and to start a war between the two countries, I have reason to suspect that there is a serious problem with the state of this emperor, and it is even very likely that he has fallen......"
"What?"
The members of the group exclaimed, deeply shocked by the information brought by Mr. Puppet.
What is the Salom Empire?
It is the most powerful country in the Southern Continent, with the support of the three major churches, a large number of magicians, knights, and priesthoods, controlling most of the area of the Southern Continent, and is the most developed country in planting, industry, and textiles.
The will of the Salom Empire is equivalent to the will of the Southern Continent.
The rest of the small nations almost all survive on the snort of the Salom Empire.
In the entire southern continent, only the Hobe United Empire, founded by nomads on the plains, can compete with it.
In other words, once the Salom Empire defeats the Hobe United Empire, it can completely unify the Southern Continent, and this emperor can be called the First Emperor of the Ages.
After the discussion at the last meeting, almost all the members agreed that the emperor had instructed the Emperor to take action in the New Gil region, to break through the dark mountains and forests, and to open the last route to the Hob United Empire.
Even without his instructions, at least with his acquiescence.
After all, it was a matter involving divine warfare, and even the two consuls did not dare to act beyond this emperor.
The wrath of the gods is not something that anyone can bear.
But judging from the information shared by Mr. Puppet, it may be true that this incident was not commissioned by Salom IV.
Even the fourth emperor of the empire may have fallen long ago.
"Mr. Puppet, this matter, please investigate it more carefully, if Salom IV really falls, this may be the opportunity for the rise of our blood clan, whether it is to transform Salom IV into a first embrace, or to use necromantic means to resurrect it, it is the best opportunity for our blood clan." Albert looked at Mr. Puppet and said seriously.
"I will." Mr. Puppet nodded, and continued: "Second, there seem to be some disagreements and contradictions within the Salom family, mainly manifested in the political struggle between Prince Malthus and Prince Deacens, who have won over many high-ranking officials in the empire to fight each other over the distribution of the New Gil region. ”
"Their struggle even affected the Royal Knights of the Empire, and many high-ranking officials within the Knights also participated in it, fueling the flames, which was also one of the opportunities to start a war."
When the internal struggle is unable to digest the contradictions, the contradictions are transferred to the outside and redistributed through war...... Hodge suddenly remembered this sentence, the essence of war, to put it bluntly, is the distribution of interests.
Whether it is to expand the territory or to regain the lost territory.
Essentially, it's all about profit.
For the sake of profit, the family supported the empire and contributed money and troops.
For the sake of profit, the empire raised troops to conscript and fight.
And the ultimate goal of these two princes is undoubtedly to become the crown prince and the heir to the royal family.
It's a fight to the death.
The fight can't end until one side falls.
"It's kind of interesting, the battle between these two princes is also an opportunity." Simon, the gargoyle, smiled sadly and said hoarsely.
"If Salom IV is really dead, it is also a good choice for us to support a prince to ascend and become the fifth emperor when it is difficult to resurrect him." Miss Succubus's royal sister-like seductive voice sounded.
"You can get in touch, find a royal bloodline close to the blood clan, let him become the crown prince, inherit the throne, our blood clan can survive in the empire openly, the strength of the Holy Church is indeed very strong, but in the Salom Empire, they are not the only church, as long as one of the mechanical churches and the ocean church expresses support, our blood clan can establish the Moon Church."
Albert, the Divine Favorite, also agreed with Miss Succubus's words.
"According to the inheritance law of the Salom Empire, whether it is a close relative or a distant relative, as long as there is the blood of the Salom royal family, they are eligible to inherit the throne, in fact, it may not be these two princes, other royal bloodlines also have this opportunity, besides, the icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow."
Hodge used his own meaning to explain the icing on the cake and the meaning of the charcoal in the snow: "Supporting a royal bloodline with little strength, it is easier for us to control him, and supporting two princes, they already have their own strength, with their own families and the upper echelons of the empire, it is very difficult for us to influence him, and the infiltration of the three major churches into the empire is also hidden in the shadows." ”
"Our support for the two princes is likely to end up making them wedding dresses."
Hearing this, all the members nodded thoughtfully, and it was undeniable that Mr. Edward's analysis was reasonable.
They have a great chance of thinking of the two princes, and other families and other forces will definitely be able to think of it too.
The three major churches have always wanted to completely control the empire, and with such an obvious goal, they will definitely not give up.
Once the power of the church penetrates it, the blood clan may become the target of public criticism if they rashly expose themselves.
Compared to humans, the Bloods are foreign after all.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
This kind of saying has been passed down in the world.
If it weren't for the lack of choice, the two princes would definitely not regard the power of the blood clan as an important reliance.
