Bolelli, the statue of the goddess of victory at the top of the Palace of Victory shines brightly.

Compared with the statue of the goddess of victory that Lin Qi saw back then, the statue of the goddess at the top of today's Victory Palace is more and more tall and majestic.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne a few years ago, the original old emperor Saint Louis XIII lived in seclusion outside the city to recuperate, and the new emperor Shengguang I has carried out a drastic reconstruction of the victory palace. The palace quadrupled in size, with more than a dozen ornate palaces built and a recast statue of the goddess of Victory placed on the main hall of the palace.

The glittering goddess of victory held a round shield in front of her chest, her right hand held a long sword high and pierced the sky, and a large area of flames under her feet, the priests of the temple of the goddess of victory of the church blessed countless magic circles for the idol, even in the daytime, there were large and rich halos of divine power rippling down from the idol, enveloping the entire victory palace.

In the council hall, Holy Light I was dressed in a scarlet scarlet coat, holding a staff in his left hand and a holy ball inlaid with the emblem of the Holy Cross in his right hand, leaning on the throne with a slight tiredness. Behind him stood twelve warriors in golden armor, and a faint golden divine light spread out from these warriors' bodies, turning into a piece of divine power to protect the Holy Light I inside.

Holy Light I came from a mysterious background, and it is said that he was the prince secretly raised by the old emperor Saint Louis XIII.

A few years ago, after the sudden death of the original eldest prince and the third prince, Shengguang I sat on the throne with the support of many courtiers. Saint Louis XIII, on the other hand, lived in seclusion in the suburbs because of the loss of his son, and since then he has lived in seclusion, and he no longer sees people lightly, except at some important celebrations of the empire. The old emperor would appear in public under Stein's protection.

Sitting on the throne, the Holy Light I looked to be only in his early thirties, with long pale white and blonde hair, a handsome face, and an extremely white complexion, which looked like a noble-born nobleman. But the most striking thing about his whole body is his deep silver eyes.

His eye sockets were a brilliant silver, and the dazzling silver light seemed to ripple out of his sockets at any time. It gives a breathtaking sense of mystery. If someone had good enough eyesight to be able to penetrate this piece of silver light, they would be able to see that in the depths of the Holy Light I's eyes were countless silver runes twisted into a ball. These runes condensed into a spherical magic array with thirty-six layers inside and outside his eyes, and countless silver electric lights were flowing back and forth in these runes, emitting powerful magic fluctuations.

No doubt. Holy Light I has cultivated some kind of peculiar pupil technique, and it is an extremely powerful pupil technique. The silver light in his eyes was sharp and domineering to the extreme, and when he looked at him, it was as if he saw tens of millions of iron-blooded heroes preparing their troops on the battlefield.

The sharp aura of the battlefield was faintly integrated with the aura of the statue of the goddess of victory above his head.

"Do you have any state affairs to discuss?" the Holy Light I took a deep breath and asked in a low and majestic voice.

Dressed in scarlet robes, Hua Li walked out from among the many civil and military courtiers and bowed deeply to the Holy Light I with a smile on his face. Hua Li's old face showed an indescribable spring breeze pride, he was originally old, but now he has a bit of the charm of old trees in spring and dead trees sprouting.

The reuse of the Warwick in the hands of the Holy Light I was also an anecdote that was hotly discussed in aristocratic circles of the Gallic Empire for several years. Once Hua Li was old. In the hands of Saint Louis XIII, the Warrie clan has gone to the Imperial Heraldic House to retire, and the former Imperial Prime Minister can only exert his residual heat in a place like the Heraldic Academy.

But what is surprising is that in the process of the sudden rise of the Holy Light I, the Warrie Clan's strange soldiers stand out. The old nobles with heraldic houses worked hard to put the Holy Light I on the throne. And Hua Li, who was originally weak and aging, suddenly regained his youthful vitality, although he still looked so old, but the inside of his body has undergone earth-shaking changes.

There are even rumors that in the past two years, Hua Li has secretly raised more than a dozen beautiful girls in the mansion as personal maids.

The rejuvenated Huali is now the prime minister of the Gallic Empire. His son, the father of Lin Qi's old friend Titian, was in charge of the Imperial Council, and he was responsible for all imperial administrative orders, while Hua Li's eldest son, the uncle of the Tixiang Prince, had previously held the important post of Minister of Finance, and now held all the functions of the Imperial Logistics Department.

Full of nobles, the Huali clan is now a first-class core minister of the Gallic Empire.

Slowly walked to the middle of the main hall, smiled and bowed to the Holy Light I, Hua Li said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lao Chen has a very interesting thing here, although it has nothing to do with our Gallic Empire, but it seems that we should mix a hand in it." ”

Holy Light I raised his eyebrows, and he showed a hint of a smile: "Hua Li Shiqing, what's interesting?"

Hua Li said in a deep voice: "The top three generals of the Caesar Empire, the Black Duke Karon, the governor of the southern frontier of the Caesar Empire, suddenly invaded Vyas a few months ago, and we came to the conclusion of sitting and watching this matter at that time. ”

Holy Light I nodded, he had an impression of this matter. The Black Duke Caron's sudden invasion of Vyas without the authorization of Emperor Caesar caused a great shock. The conclusion of the Gallic Empire was to sit on the sidelines, and at the same time secretly mobilize troops on the southern frontier, ready to take advantage of them.

Hua Li smiled, and the corners of his mouth hooked a deep arc: "The latest news, the First Cavalry Division of the Dragon Wing Legion has been wiped out, and Caron and all the important generals under his command have been captured alive. The new owner of the Vyas Green Forest Province, the Duke of Vyas, mobilized 110,000 private troops, plus more than 100,000 mercenaries under the command of Count Vyas Longshan, and more than 100,000 of the Vyas Federation Organization...... The Wehrmacht, the coalition forces launched a full-scale counterattack on the Dragonwing Army three days ago. ”

Holy Light I sat up straight, and he said in a deep voice, "How is the battle?"

Hua Li narrowed his eyes, he looked at a powerful middle-aged man in a black robe standing in the group of generals, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal Bei'an, the military department should have received relevant information, right?"

Marshal Bean, tall and majestic as a lion and tiger, took two steps forward and respectfully saluted the Holy Light I.

Marshal Bean, the former Duke of Boreas, was the commander-in-chief of the Norman fortresses of the Gallic Empire, one of only three marshals in the Gallic Empire. Before the accession of Holy Light I, the other two marshals of the Gallic Empire died of serious illness at the same time, and Berelli did not have a military minister, so Marshal Bean was transferred back to Berelli to serve as the imperial minister, and at the same time took charge of the military department, controlling Berelli's garrison corps and all military units of Berelli.

Like Warley, Marshal Bean was also a beneficiary of the sudden accession to the throne of Holy Light I, and his eldest son was now the supreme commander of the Norman fort, and with the military power in the hands of Marshal Bean, Marshal Bean's family controlled almost sixty percent of the elite army of the Gallic Empire.

Straightening up, Marshal Bean said in a deep voice: "The Dragon Wing Legion collapsed, the core main battle force was all annihilated, all the retired soldiers who were re-recruited were annihilated, most of the local auxiliaries and militia were captured, and all the other ordinary people were captured alive. The latest information available this morning is that only 2,000 light cavalry have finally fled back to Caesar's territory. ”

Warry nodded, and he said in a deep voice, "Vyas did a good job this time. ”

Marshal Bean echoed: "It is indeed very beautiful! The so-called Wehrmacht of Vyas is a bunch of garbage, everyone should know what kind of virtue the army formed by Vyas's group of businessmen; those mercenaries are useless, they are all elites in small-scale conflicts, but on large-scale battlefields, they are no different from garbage." ”

After a slight pause, Marshal Bean said in a deep voice: "What is surprising is that the direct army of the Duke of Green Forest is very terrifying and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. According to the assessment of the military department, if our garrison corps in southern Xinjiang faces the army of Duke Lvsen, there is a seventy percent chance that it will be completely annihilated!"

Holy Light I pursed his lips, his waist straightening even further.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and the Holy Light I said in a deep voice: "Hua Li Shiqing, what did you want to say just now?"

Warren lowered his head, and he said in a deep voice: "Vyas has sent a very large negotiating team to Caesar, wanting to negotiate with Caesar about war reparations and the ransom of prisoners. At the same time, Vyas's army continued to march into Caesar's territory! If it was not good, Vias might even annex several provinces to the south of Caesar. ”

Holy Light I said in a deep voice: "We should intervene!"

Hua Li said in a deep voice: "We must intervene!"

Holy Light I frowned, and he asked, "So, who will go? The group of merchants and nobles of Vyas, they must extort Caesar a sum of money, and Caesar's old stubbornness, he is not easy to deal with." What stance do we use to get there, and then, how do we get the most out of it?"

Hua Li smiled and nodded: "For the peace of the continent and the happiness of the people of the mainland, our Gallic Empire cannot sit idly by and watch two powerful countries get involved in the war. We're going to mediate for them, and in the meantime, we'll get a closer look at what kind of person Duke Midori really is!"

Sighing with emotion, Hua Li said in a deep voice: "A nobleman from the East, Your Majesty, if this Duke of Green Forest can become the Duke of Vias, why can't he become a courtier of our Gallic Empire? His army is so powerful......"

Hua Li glanced at Marshal Bei An, and Marshal Bei An said in a deep voice: "And the alien races on the five Dalian Islands recently, they seem to be a little unstable. ”

Holy Light I nodded: "Who's going?"

Hua Li smiled, and he said in a deep voice: "There is the best candidate, Professor of the Fifth University, he is a good hand at diplomatic negotiations, let him lead a crack negotiation team to the Caesar Empire, and he will definitely be able to fight for the greatest interests of the empire!"

Holy Light I nodded, and he waved his hand: "Then, appoint Professor Cohen as Minister Plenipotentiary, confer on him the official position of Fifth Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and let him envoy Caesar!" )
