Dio Brando has returned to the city of mystery, and the civilian cabinet that was famous in Beijing a few days ago has appeared again.
Not only Tianming's tutor paid special attention, but the nobles and officials of the empire also paid a lot of attention.
Although the young master of the Charles family has been the most popular recently, Dior compiled the "History of the Ivy Empire", entered the cabinet and became the trusted advisor of the Queen of the Eternal Night, and captured the culprit of the bloody night of Odu at light speed. A series of big moves is enough Impress everyone with him.
Now that he is back, does it represent the ever-changing Aodu officialdom, and what new turmoil will there be
For some, Dior represented the rise of the common man, in stark contrast to the aristocratic class whose power was being curtailed.
Whether the two forces will conflict, whether Dior will make new moves, or will he be a minister of history in a low-key manner, has become a point of view that many people look forward to.
However, for the nobles in the bureau, they don't have such a calm mentality of watching dramas.
The southern part of the Ivy Empire, the Principality of Fergus.
This was originally one of the seventeen countries, bordering the Elf Empire and the Warcraft Mountains, where caravans and adventurers were active, so the business was very prosperous, and it also gave birth to the extremely rampant slave trade.
The current Archduke Fergus, the old aristocrat who had some wonderful episodes with his daughter-in-law, had a gloomy face all day long after returning from the city of mystery, feeling that his dignity had been greatly trampled on.
In his castle, messengers from different forces came in and out like ants, not knowing what they were conspiring.
In the past few days, the imperial aristocracy was like a major earthquake.
Although the Queen of Eternal Night did not take any action in the future, after that night, most of the nobles remembered her majesty's decisive killing in the past, and the heads of her subordinates were rolling.
It's just that she has become more unpredictable now, always smiling. When everyone returned to their own territory, they couldn't understand what the Queen's attitude was.
The more it is like this, the more I miss it, for fear that the Meteor Waterfall will fall on my manor in the next second.
There is also the newly established Night Guard, who nominally supervises the nobles, and has been making big moves these days.
One strong person after another joined in high-profile, wanton selection of elite backbones in the army, making the nobles who once shouted to expel Roger shivered...
It seems that this Roger Charles is really the heart of the Queen of Eternal Night. She has given so much support, and secretly does not know how many strong people will appear in the Night Guard.
This power is definitely not something that any noble can contend with by relying only on private troops, even in a territory that he has been operating for a hundred years.
The new official took office three fires, and Roger received the strong support of the Queen of the Night. I am afraid that soon, the fire will burn on these nobles who want to offend him...
No one could have predicted that the nobleman who had been arrogant for tens of thousands of years, clearly backed by the most powerful Qingteng Empire in the world, should have lived a carefree little life, but was suddenly found a father by the Queen of Eternal Night …
The most uncomfortable thing is that this father seems to be made by them.
The triumphal celebration that went by drinking, dancing, and dancing, was fooled by others, and it felt like a turning point in their fate.
Who is going to make sense of this
The key nobles can't bear to investigate!
The great nobles of this era, who have not done anything illegal in their territory, or secretly engaged in business that is not allowed by the empire, have few clean ass.
Under this pressure, a considerable number of nobles, led by the Duke of South Carneton, chose to flee in secret.
With family and wealth, yo-yo!
Before the Queen of Eternal Night slashes the nobles into the sewers, save the last dignity and property, let's be a handsome rich man in another place!
Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, such as Archduke Fergus, who is reluctant to give up everything he has now.
The property can be taken away, but the land cannot be taken away. Fearless leisure in one's own territory
In a secret conference room in the castle, after two days of discussions, more than a dozen ornately dressed nobles finally made a difficult decision:
"The mere ivy is not worthy of allegiance at all!"
Grand Duke Fergus, together with many nobles in the south, on behalf of the nobles who were present and who were not present, announced the formation of the Alliance of Free Principalities, and from then on became independent from the rule of the Qingteng Empire.
The Alliance of Free Principalities has called on 99 nobles and nobles from the south of the empire to participate, and is known as the "Hundred Nations Alliance" to the outside world.
Each noble territory has independent finance, law, and military, and signs military mutual aid agreements.
The Church of the God of Knowledge, the God of Music, and the Goddess of War is allowed to preach in the territory. These three churches are all gods who were quite active in the southern countries of mankind.
Of course, the Alliance of Free Principalities only declared independence and broke away from the Qingteng Empire. It did not declare war on the Qingteng Empire, nor did it shout slogans such as overthrowing the Qingteng tyranny.
They still knew how much they weighed, and they took this step just because they had a hunch that the Queen of Evernight would impose more and more restrictions on the nobles.
Therefore, the Free Principality Alliance not only did not oppose the Qingteng Empire, but even prepared to take the initiative to reach a trade agreement with the Qingteng Empire, an offensive and defensive alliance, and obtain military assistance.
This reflects the hesitation and weakness of these nobles, independent, but not completely independent.
Not only do they want to maintain the power of the aristocracy that will last forever, but they also want to be a vassal of the Qingteng Empire to gain asylum, and they also want to gain the support of the church, so that they can take all the benefits of the world.
They felt that the empire had just finished fighting the orc tribe, and they were recuperating after a war. Shouldn't they be so quick to attack their former people
They work hard to develop, have the support of the church, and have enough strategic depth. When the Qingteng Empire frees up and wants to clean up itself, the Free Principality Alliance should have gained a firm foothold.
The church and the surrounding religious nations also intend to support the alliance of the principalities in the south, causing trouble for the Qingteng Empire.
And when the Qingteng Empire and the teaching nation conflict, their attitudes are a little more ambiguous, and maybe they can still have both sides...
After some analysis by Archduke Fergus and the others, plus the church cheating, they clenched their teeth and stomped their feet, and they really announced the news of the establishment of the Free Principality Alliance.
The alliance set up a parliament of nobles, with Archduke Fergus as the first speaker, leading a group of little brothers to oppose the extreme policies of the Ivy Empire.
And less than ten minutes after the establishment of the Alliance of Free Principalities, the envoy of the empire came to Fergus Castle and brought the edict written by the Queen of Eternal Night long ago:
"Anyone who intends to split the empire will be killed without mercy."
Archduke Fergus took the edict, his hands shaking.
It's not the content, but the date when the edict was signed.
The text above and the Queen's signature were all written long ago. Only the day was filled in today. The fonts were different and a little wet.
Wouldn't it be the day that the envoy filled in at random outside the door
No, the queen has already calculated that we will take this step, wait for us, right
No, no, no, we won't be self-inflicted, right
A great noble next to him who served as an alliance member trembled and asked the envoy: "My lord, we are now announcing the dissolution of the alliance and returning to the embrace of the Qingteng Empire. Is it still too late?"
The imperial envoy replied gracefully: "Then it depends on the transmission speed of the Night Guard."
…
…
Outside the secret capital, a secret camp.
Roger wore the stand-up collar uniform he designed for the Night Guard himself, and his eyes were sharply swept across the first battalion of the Night Guard assembled for the first time.
He found a very fulfilling thing, not counting Tianming mentor and player characters, the paper strength of the Dark Night Guard in his hand was comparable to the number of powerhouses in the early days of the Tianming Army.
This time, the Queen supported, the elder sister helped, and he himself gathered the powerhouses who would become famous in the future. The final result was a total of 26 legendary warriors, 130 mages, and 300 senior mages. the rest.
The rest are also elites drawn from various armies, all professionals, with good growth potential, and young, seen blood, extremely loyal to the empire and the queen, and willing to carry out all orders.
Such an elite brigade with a high proportion of the strong can not only perform special operations operations and intelligence theft in groups, but also be able to fight a small-scale war when assembled.
After all, this is a world where there is a huge gap in personal combat power. A legendary powerhouse can be worth thousands of soldiers.
In the empire that was still at its peak, the powerhouses emerged one after another, and they gathered the elites of human beings for hundreds of years. With a little integration, such a team could be pulled out, which also made Roger secretly startled.
If the empire already has a foundation, those churches that have accumulated for a longer time and have longevity races, how many powerhouses are hidden in them
Those arrogant nobles are just a farce under their control, and there is a huge difference compared with the real war.
But such a stage is also a good touchstone, which can condense the military spirit of this force and experiment with the effect of the latest equipment.
Roger came back to his senses. On the other side of his powerful combat power, it was these subordinates who still had some distrust of him, a parallel importer.
But he holds the Eternal Night Order and can borrow the appeal of the Eternal Night Queen to make the entire Dark Night Guard completely obey his dispatch.
But to really hold this power in his hands, Roger needs a lot of time and thought.
He spoke lightly, and his voice spread through everyone's ears: "I believe everyone already knows what happened in the south, the so-called Free Principality Alliance has essentially betrayed and divided the empire, which is a huge damage to the reputation of the empire, we must Destroy the enemy as quickly as possible.
The enemy is not strong, relative to our strength or can be said to be quite weak. This is a battle to win, and you can win it without me. However, the meaning of my existence is to lead you to win beautifully, win neatly, and win to shock the world... Then, continue to win, be passed down and remembered by the imperial people, and become an eternal nightmare for the unfaithful! "
Excited expressions appeared on many people's faces.
Make meritorious deeds, be loyal to the country, be famous all over the world, which good man can refuse
But many older strong people will not be fooled by their own officials, and they still have the intention of taking a step by step.
In front of this young wasteful young master who is said to only have the strength of a junior magician, how far can he lead them
Without strong and independent achievements, Roger Charles was still a young child in the eyes of the proudest imperial people.
Roger stood on the high platform and could see a thousand faces with different expressions, showing a contemptuous smile:
"It doesn't matter if you are convinced or not. After an hour, we will meet in the Grand Duke Fergus' banquet hall to discuss again."
"In an hour, capture the territory of a grand duke?" A one-eyed swordsman smiled with interest, "Boss, are you asking too much for yourself?"
Roger did not answer directly: "Now, let's go to the Unbalanced Chapter to get the equipment, and then teleport to the Principality of Fergus."
As soon as he said these words, no matter what level of professional, everyone was short of breath.
Chapter of Imbalance, a holy place for imperial alchemists.
And the alchemist is...
The best weapons, the best armor, the best enchanted gear...even legendary items!
It is said that the welfare of the Night Guard is good, and now it is good enough to let them go directly to the chapter of unbalanced to choose equipment
