Chapter 137: Intrigues
"Your Majesty, Emperor Herman, we have come to investigate the affairs of Her Royal Highness Linya, the princess of the Momiji Empire, who calls herself the Moon Goddess Gaisha, by order of His Majesty the Great Divine Envoy. As a procedure for investigating the claims of this miracle, please arrange a meeting with Princess Linya at once!"
"Linya still has very important matters to take care of, so I can't meet you for the time being. Emperor Hermann simply rejected them.
Emperor Hermann also worried about this for a long time.
Since it is to be stored as a god. Then when facing these gods, it is natural to be on top of the throne. But these arrogant and arrogant gods may not be willing to accept it. If they recognize Linya's identity as the moon goddess, then the entire Holy See will have to obediently submit to Linya, are they so pious, kind, and righteous? It is impossible to think about it with the soles of their feet.
In such a situation. How to deal with the etiquette of Linya's meeting with these guys is one. Big problem. Obviously, under no circumstances can the daughter be allowed to be placed in such a humiliating position as if she were being judged.
"Is Herman trying to escape from something?" said Ekassa with a sudden sneer.
"I'm afraid that if it continues to delay like this, it won't do any good to His Majesty's empire or the Holy See of Light, so let's ask Your Majesty to think about the meeting again!"
"Really?" said Emperor Hermann, who suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Whoever wants to touch my daughter must first step over my corpse!" Emperor Herman's gaze became fierce.
These guys are so arrogant. Dare to spread wild and ruthless on the territory of the Red Leaf Empire, and if you don't stop their prestige, you can't continue to talk about it. The kindness released by the Red Leaf Empire before was enough. But don't want to understand these actions as the weakness, retreat, and cowardice of the Momiji Empire.
"Do you want to fight? We're here to help! If you're here to humiliate me and my daughter, then go back now. Go back and tell Sù Eric that I, Herman, have been waiting for him to come!"
That's. The guy was stunned by the bluffing, and his arrogance dropped a lot. Karn quickly gave a look, stopping Acsar's urge to continue.
Farmino hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty Herman, please don't get too excited. We are only acting on orders, so we hope that Your Majesty will forgive us. I wonder when Princess Linya will be able to see us?"
Emperor Herman's face softened, and he said, "Linya asks me to tell you. After the Golden Phi Festival, she will have a lot of time. At that time, if you still have any doubts, you can go and see her.
Ekassar was clearly unhappy with his words
"Looks like we're here at a bad time. This princess is indeed a very busy person. Ekassa scoffed.
Emperor Hermann was not interested in arguing with him. "Worshipping my daughter as the goddess of the moon is just a matter of self-organization by a part of the people of the Momiji Empire, and we have never asked anyone else to recognize her identity. Originally, we didn't think it would be a big deal, but we really didn't think that the Holy See would really go against or even go to war with a pious Empire of Light Doctrine because of such a trivial matter? The holy war against the Pagans of Grecia is the most important thing now
Don't ask others to admit her identity?Herman's seemingly unconscious words touched the trio. In fact, this is exactly what Pope Eric secretly instructed to allow the Holy See and the Momiji Empire to continue negotiations.
The faces of the three of them softened.
"It seems that we still have a lot in common with Hermann. Karn said with a pun.
"Yes, for the Holy See and the Red Leaf Empire now, the Holy War is the most important thing, isn't it?" Farmino hurriedly took the opportunity to come out and play a round.
Acassar dressed in blackface. Farmino was red-faced, and Karn was a swingman in the middle. The division of labor between these three guys is quite clear. I guess it's been premeditated.
"Yes, our Red Leaf Empire is also preparing for this holy war. If a qiēshun lì. We will probably send a real 100,000 troops to the jihad. By the way, Your Excellency Cardinal Farmino, how are the organizational preparations for the jihad?"
"Ah, I'm really busy with that. The Great Troop of the Holy Creaden Army from the Atlantic continent is about to arrive. Millis is still on his side, and there are many things to deal with. "Farmino is really complaining. At this time, he had to be sent to Laia to waste.
"Oh, by the way, last time I talked about funding jihad. Now that your Excellency Bishops have come, please accept it, and you have all prepared all the money for the holy war, a hundred horses, armor, and weapons. Please ask His Excellency Farmino to send someone to receive it. "Emperor Herman can only be empty words. This kind of practical thing still has to be soft when it should be, and it is stingy to avoid war.
Farmino hurriedly looked at what the other two meant. Ekassar closed his eyes, Karn nodded
Head.
"Thank you very much for Your Majesty Herman's hospitality. For so many years, the Red Leaf Empire has been the most devout Empire of Light Doctrine, and we have always understood this. If each one. If the country can be as pious as the Momiji Empire, it will be easy to defeat those heretics. Farmino laughed.
Every year, the contribution from the Red Leaf Empire is the largest income of the Violet Continent and even the entire Holy See of the Bright World. This time Millis had something like that, and it was very difficult for Farmino to do it. If you lose the contribution of the Red Leaf Empire, the income of the Holy See of Millis will be greatly reduced, and then you will have to live a poor life in the coming year. On the contrary, this time the income of 30,000 tribute, even if half of it is handed over to Odin, the remaining half is enough for Millis's side to share the greed. As for the cavalry equipment, it was equivalent to sending a cavalry unit directly to the Holy See, because the Holy See was never worried about the lack of manpower. Fanatical believers and worshippers are everywhere in Millis.
Be willing to take things. This also shows that they also have the intention of negotiating in the next step. Emperor Herman examined the shape and smiled slightly, "Your Excellencies, you will dedicate tribute to the great god of light and holy war. Of course it should be the best. I have sent for the best horses to gather in Leia, and they are now in the pastures outside the city. If you're interested, why don't you come with me and pick the best batch?"
The red leaf war horse is high-quality and robust, and has a good reputation. And being able to choose at your own discretion is a rare opportunity. The better the quality, the more valuable it is. Farmino hurriedly motioned to the other two, and Kanaan nodded and said, "Since His Majesty is so gracious." Then we can only be respectful and obey our fate. ”
Ten thousand horses galloping.
To put it simply, when 10,000 horses are running, the grassland seems to be rolling. The earth trembled incessantly, and the loud sound of horses' hooves drowned out a qiē.
If it's just this momentum, it won't scare those well-informed and treacherous guys. But what if it's 50,000 horses?
Emperor Herman ordered 50,000 horses gathered from the Momiji Plain and nearby areas to gather at the royal pasture outside the city of Leia, and rolled like a torrent from both sides of the makeshift reading platform
Pass.
It didn't stop for a long time. It's like the water of the Seine. It never stops. Any attempt to speak was ineffective, for the deafening sound of horses' hooves was as loud as thunder, and the eardrums trembled.
The faces of the old fellows gradually changed and became pale. It has long been rumored that there are millions of war horses on the northern grasslands of the Red Leaf Empire, and some people say that it is a completely nonsense joke. But apparently that's probably not a lie. It does seem that the strength of this country is completely different than imagined.
50,000 is only one-twentieth of 100 episodes. It would probably not be wise to provoke such a powerful empire.
Emperor Hermann was secretly observing the expressions of these guys. It's not in vain that he worked so hard, and that's what he wants. No amount of words has any real action. Both to give them benefits. It is also necessary to frighten them, so that war can be effectively avoided.
The galloping horses lasted for more than an hour before they finally subsided, and the sound of horses' hooves finally faded away.
The originally arrogant Ekassa almost fell to the ground under the all-round bombardment of sound and vision, but fortunately he was helped by Farmino and did not make too much of a fool of himself.
However, beads of sweat were pouring down his face like raindrops.
"It looks like it's a bit hot today. Emperor Hermann said with a smirk.
Acassa cursed inwardly. But his face was extremely embarrassed.
This hateful guy clearly did it on purpose. Trying to give us a dismount and scare us. Let's make a fool of ourselves?
"That's good. The war horses of the Red Leaf Empire are really good. Karn said, hiding a bit of a bouncing mood.
"I'm glad you can say that, Your Excellency. Then feel free to pick and choose. If not satisfied. You can always change another batch. "Emperor Hermann has achieved his goal, and he is in a good mood.
"Actually, I've been thinking these days that maybe fifteen hundred warhorses alone won't be enough to meet the needs of the Knights of Light. So, I'm thinking about increasing the number of horses to 5,000, I wonder what you think?"
