Chapter 255
In all fairness, everything that Bird Lyle said is justified-as one of the duchy of the empire, Eboden is of course also a subject of the empire. When there are civil riots, major crises, and enemies In the case of invasion and vassal rebellion, they are qualified to request reinforcements from the empire to counter the rebellion. Maintaining the stability and order of vassal territories in the territory is also an obligation of the empire.
But that is only in theory!
Yes, the current situation is at the point where you can ask for help from the Empire; but once the Empire Legion is invited over, it will not be easy to send it away!
No matter how stupid the nobles of these free councils are, they can see this—then the empire will definitely station the entire Legion in Eboden, and use its military advantage to further threaten and interfere with Eboden. This is something you can think of with your toes.
What will they do next? Receive Eboden’s port and taxes, or simply turn Eboden directly into an Imperial Family territory? When the time comes, do these workshops, shops, markets, and ocean-going fleets all have to be directly named "Imperial Family"?
no no no, when the time comes the need for a free council to exist is a question!
Not only the noble congressmen, Alto Bellini is also stared wide-eyed, staring incredibly at Byrd Lyle who said this, even if he wants to be calm enough no matter what It's impossible.
The reason why Eboden has today's situation and status is entirely because of maintaining absolute independence within the empire, so as to avoid the direct interference of the church and the empire-otherwise, why would the wizards be here? Not affected in any way, and even possessed a transcendent status equal to that of the nobility.
Did they forget this? !
Alto, who was astonished, of course would not remember that he was the first person to break this "balance" and "illusion"; if it hadn't been for his sudden defection to Holy Cross Church, the nine-pointed star Wizard Tower will not really make up his mind to stand with the Corona family and wait for the final judgment of the empire.
No matter what the result is, it is definitely 10,000 times stronger than letting Holy Cross Church rule Eboden. In the eyes of the empire, the nine-pointed star wizard tower and the church are his subjects. , The wizards are just changing the ruler of Eboden; but if it is the Holy Cross Church, it is a matter of survival and destruction!
The nine-pointed star wizard tower and Wimpal’s wizard are definitely not the same kind of people. They are as proud as aristocrats, and they would definitely rather die and impossible to accept such harsh conditions!
"This is what you planned, right, you sinister and cunning villains!" Verlo finally couldn't help but jumped out again and asked loudly: "from the very Beginning, you are going to skip the Freedom Council and betray us, and when the Empire Legion comes, you will be like a pug to ask for credit!"
Alto Bellini did not speak, and the aristocratic congressmen seemed to be excited too. Anticipating the impending destruction, they yelled one by one, spitting at Bird Lyle, who was standing in the center of the venue.
"Betray you?"
Bird Lyle flashed a taunt on his face, snapped his fingers lightly, and the mercenaries behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded the wizard in the center , The crossbow and lance in his hand pointed to the "sirs" sitting on the seat.
"You, what do you want to do?!" The noble congressmen turned pale in fright: "This is the free parliament, and there is a tacit understanding between us!"
"Be you all The adults included Holy Cross Church in Eboden. When the wizard tower withdrew from the parliament, our tacit understanding disappeared."
Byrd Lyle’s expression was unprecedentedly cold: "Masters, it’s here. It’s time to think about how to survive.
Whether to follow the Holy Cross Church and turn Eboden into the kingdom of gods;
It is still time to maintain our ancient traditions and let knowledge and gold Maintain the alliance to the next era?
You have the right to choose!"
............ "Why must it be so bitter and enmity? This is not a complete People are pushed to the irreversible opposite, let them make a choice right away? To be honest, such things that force people to make choices are the least I want to see!"
Brandon · Sally muttered in confusion, with a puzzled and innocent look, making the black hair wizard sitting across from him look dark and staring at him intently.
It is the red-haired noble boy in front of him who helped the elders of the wizard tower make up their minds and told them an amazing "secret"-the reorganization of the 3,000-person Empire Legion was as early as one It was opened a month ago, and it will be possible to reach the border of Eboden in one week at the latest!
In other words, all of this is planned and premeditated. That Legion was not invited by the nine-pointed star wizard tower, but came for this Brandon Sally.
Loren is really more and more curious about his identity-from the Prince of Sacland, has a close relationship with Rutt Infinit, and has a connection with the Empire Legion...
"Does he usually do this?"
Glancing at the aristocratic teenager who was still complaining, Loren secretly asked the man named "Fitlownet" Knight Maiden.
The doll-like Miss Fitronay glanced at him, and then slightly nodded-although it was only a moment, Loren did read the trace of helplessness in her eyes.
So this is not the first time?
But then again, what is the relationship between him and this Miss Fitrone? lover? Sister and brother? childhood sweethearts still say...
"If you are hitting Miss Fitronay's attention, for the sake of your life, I advise you not to do this." The noble boy turned his face. Incomparable sincerity gleamed in her big red eyes:
"Believe me, her horror is impossible to see—in the delicate flowers, there are often not only butterflies flying, but also ambushes. Looking at the ferocious steel-toothed Saber-Toothed Tiger."
"............You really think too much."
The black hair wizard is very convinced, it’s in Brandon After saying that sentence, there was indeed a long sword unsheathing sound from behind!
Fitlownai coldly snorted put away the long sword and turned to leave, not forgetting to close the door suddenly.
"Peng!" There were only two men left in the room who looked surprised and scared, and stared cautiously at the door, as if to be wary of someone rushing out from behind the door at any time... …Uh, Saber-Toothed Tiger.
"cough cough cough..."
Brandon, with an awkward expression, came back to his senses first: "In short, there will be at most two weeks before the Legion of the Empire will Arrive in Eboden-when the time comes everything will be a foregone conclusion, so we must do it before then.
And whether it is the church or the Corona family, they will not wait until that day and let others To decide their life and death-so you have a lot of strong competitors, Lord Loren Torino."
Within two weeks?
"Then how much time will it take to complete the blood sacrifice?"
"The Corona family did not say, I guess they may not be sure." The noble boy shrugged and smiled He replied: "Of course, it is also possible that they already know, but they only plan to wait until they are done to tell us."
"It is also for the sake of life. I also do not recommend that you go alone. At least you need a few trustworthy companions-believe me, the'mission' at this time will only be more dangerous than your'expedition' in the ancient wood forest, not too easy. "
"Thank you for your reminder." Loren nodded without a smile.
"Don't you believe it?"
"No, it's just that what you said is exactly the same as what you didn't say."
"..."
Just kidding, the civilian area in the south of the city has been completely sealed off. There are mad mobs and homeless people everywhere, mutants or monsters about to change, even if it is south of the big tree wall, there are no forests all over the ogre. So dangerous!
even more how In that damn sewer, there are still thousands of monsters that have completed mutations. According to Isaac's theory, the longer the time, the more complete the mutations will be, and the degree of erosion will be Higher.
Uh, it may not be very vivid to say so, so explain it in a simple and easy to understand way, it is this kind of monster that will still evolve!
So now Loren can only pray wholeheartedly for one thing-no matter where the nine-pointed star holy grail is, don't worry, don't be in the sewer!
