In the end, the battle of Archduke Henry's attack on Archduke Dietrich was still over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The strength of the two sides is not much different. Even if Archduke Henry was slightly stronger than Archduke Dietrich, his strength was limited. Both sides are old rivals, and before the Hereford family did not rise, they fought each other for an unknown number of times. No one can help anyone.

And now, remove the Hereford family, remove the army of the Archduke of Lesek. The balance of power between the two sides is back to square one.

In this case, no matter how unhappy Archduke Henry was, no matter how angry he was, no matter how much he urged, he could not defeat Dietrich so easily.

After several battles in which each other won and lost, but did not play a decisive role, the emperor's edict was issued again.

His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with the "chaos" of the Wende Kingdom. Again, he ordered Archduke Henry to stop the attack.

In this edict, people also smell some "bad" smells.

The emperor wants to intervene in the internal affairs of the Wende Kingdom!

Although Archduke Henry is stupid, there is a good saying, that is, when it comes to his own vital interests, even the most stupid guy will suddenly become wise-

The emperor must not be allowed to interfere in Wende's internal affairs!

This can almost be regarded as a consensus among the princes within the Wende Kingdom.

No one wants a strong, powerful, and capable guy over their head. The Wende princes, who had had enough of the fun of being their own boss, were very uncomfortable with the existence of the emperor. And I don't want to fit in. This is inevitable even for Archduke Otto.

The existence of the emperor, the competition for the throne of the emperor by the electors, and the dissatisfaction of the kings of the empire with the emperor...... All these elements made the Ostrogothic Empire a pathetic, chaotic state that was busy with internal struggles for the vast majority of the time.

The empire was in decline, and it was not only the Britons or the Ottomans who could overwhelm the empire, but even Asturias and Visigoths.

William thought about it a lot of times. If the Empire had not managed to maintain this semblance of unity, but had acted as a separate state, the situation might have been better - and if it had done so, the Empire might never have formed a unified state again.

"Strengthening centralization is easy to say. William laughed to himself, and then didn't bother with it.

All in all, with the "hard help" of His Majesty the Emperor, Archduke Henry finally realized his mistake.

How can a fraternal country move a knife or a gun? This is really unacceptable.

So Archduke Henry repented. The assault on the Grand Duchy of Livonia was stopped. He sent an emissary to the other three Grand Dukes to express his willingness to attend the joint meeting of the Grand Dukes next month to publicly elect the king.

In this way, the three-month civil war between Wende and Germany came to an end. Thanks to the military and diplomatic mediation of the Hereford family, this civil war became the fastest to end and the least costly of any civil war.

The Heriford family's blow to the Grand Duchy of Turov was swift and complete. After the Grand Duchy of Turov decided to surrender, the Hereford family took over the territory. Barely hurt the vitality of the Grand Duchy.

At the same time, the Groningen family and the Trieste family also performed poorly on the Western Front.

Several battles between the two sides were won and lost. None of them were able to hit each other. In such a short period of time, both sides barely advanced much on the front. So neither the Grand Duchy of Shilonsk nor the Grand Duchy of Livonia, the inland areas of the elite were harmed.

In this case, the strength and vitality of the Wende Kingdom have been preserved to the greatest extent. The upcoming ecumenical joint meeting also gives people hope for a complete end to the division of the kingdom.

For a while, the Wende people were relieved and full of expectations for the future.

On the other hand, many people are disappointed. For example, His Majesty the Emperor who wants to intervene in the Wende Kingdom to expand his influence and reap the benefits. Or in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Hereford family, they are increasingly powerless. I hope that the civil war in the Wende Kingdom will be fought for a while more in Polotsk. Or the Tartarya Khanate, which is **** wounds and waiting for its chance.

The kingdom of Wende was not weakened. What's more, the Hereford family has not been weakened. This strong rising family continues to maintain a strong upward trend. The greatest benefits were reaped in the civil war.

Although most people are unaware of the exchange of interests between the Hereford family and the Groningen family. But the Grand Duchy of Turov, and the Kingdom of Holmgard, which was swallowed by the grass and rabbits, these two territories, have a population of hundreds of thousands. It has greatly strengthened the strength of the Hereford family.

And a series of diplomatic mediation, division and co-optation, also allowed the Hereford family to successfully obtain two allies, the Grand Duchy of Mazovia and the Grand Duchy of Livonia. Isolated Shilonsk, who was about to become an adversary.

At the same time, the success of diplomatic mediation averted the expansion of the civil war and the brilliant victory of the destruction of both countries in a month. It also greatly increased the prestige of the Hereford family. His opponents revere him. The commoners of the kingdom of Wende are grateful to him. The emperor and the papacy of Rome held him in high esteem. The Kingdom of Briton, which was a quasi-ally of William, also valued him more than anything else.

If there was one winner in this civil war that began and ended abruptly, it was undoubtedly the Hereford family.

A strong family that is about to acquire the Russian kingdom. In the Great Frontier Region, above all other powers. A terrifying family with jaw-dropping martial arts. The end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Wende and the establishment of the Kingdom of Russia announced that the Hereford family officially stepped onto the stage of the Old World.

May 9, 1749. In the newly built Novgorod Cathedral, under the tall dome with numerous religious motifs, the coronation of Otto von Hereford began in the light of the open stained mosaic windows.

Envoys of the Roman Curia, Envoys of the Grand Duchy of Wende, Envoys of the Tartariya Khanate, Envoys of the Emperor, Envoys of the Great Briton Company, Envoys of the Visigothic Kingdom, Envoys of the Kingdom of Asturias, Envoys of the Princes of the Interior of the Empire, Envoys of the Dwarven Kingdom......

In the presence of more than 400 guests dressed in various costumes, armor and robes, the Archbishop of the Kingdom, Peter I, who is also the Archbishop of the Kingdom, smiled gently and kindly, and declared to Otto von Hereford, the patriarch of the House of Hereford, the hero of the two Great Frontier Wars, the savior of the human world, the Elector of the Empire, the great heroic king, and the founder of the Russian Kingdom:

"In the name of the great, merciful, Creator of all things, Radiant Lord who sees all things, I declare you the only king of the Russian kingdom, the land of Slavi. ”

Archduke Otto fell to the ground on one knee and bowed his head so that Peter I could put the gold crown in his hand on his head.

After this, King Otto stood up. The optical glass windows are filled with sunlight shining on Otto's body, making him look like a god.

"Hats off to our king. Thank you to the Lord of Light for giving him to us!"

Archbishop Peter I fell to the ground on one knee and saluted Otto I. After this, the ministers of the kingdom, the foreign envoys who came to watch the ceremony, or were emotional and willing. Or reluctantly ...... In any case, however, they also knelt on one knee to pay tribute to the new king, just like Peter I.

"I have received the best gift in this world, thank you Lord of Light, thank you to all. "Even King Otto was very excited by the atmosphere. But after that, he subconsciously looked at his son William. Then I unconsciously added a sentence in my heart: "I want to thank you even more." My son. ”

After this, it was the ceremony of William's coronation as the crown prince of Russia, and the basic situation was the same as before. Only the crown was a little smaller than that of King Otto, and after that, the guests and ministers only bowed to him instead of kneeling on one knee.

May 7, 1749. The Russian kingdom was proclaimed. The situation in the Great Border area was completely rewritten. At the same time, the balance in the large border areas has been completely broken.

After the theocratic ceremony, it was the traditional consciousness of the Goths. King Otto stands on a large shield. Held high above his head by four knights. The people cheered loudly and walked around the walls of Novgorod with their new king in their hands. After that, there are bigger celebrations, big drinking parties, and big revelry.

In addition to the feast of ministers and foreign envoys, William also had a rare generous appearance. took out 20,000 imperial gold coins from his private money. Invite the whole city of Novgorod to drink. That night, the whole of Novgorod was covered with the smell of alcohol. Although it is only the cheapest liquor, the most ordinary bread and bacon. But the people of Novgorod still ate happily.

These Slavians at this moment completely forgot about the former Novgorod Republic. Forget about their hatred with the Hereford family. Immersed in the narcotic effects of alcohol, and the cheers and hoorays of their new king......

"I succeeded, although it was only the first step. But, indeed, I succeeded. "On the balcony of the banquet hall of the palace. William listened to the loud cheers in the streets. The sound of "Long live the king" shouted loudly in Gothic as well as in Slavi. My heart is filled with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

From a barony to a kingdom in four years. If that's not a success, then what's a success?
