Chapter 1158 Emperor Selection
Sending away the Phoenix King is a grand proposition.
Many people in the empire respected him, but more of them were in awe, thinking that the elves' interference in the Sigma Empire was too serious.
The relationship stemming from the great holy war gave both sides a grand epic destiny at the beginning. The fate of the three dwarf tribes was briefly entangled, but as time went by, it seemed that they had returned to the past.
At the Marina Hotel in Marienburg, the Phoenix King, who was staying temporarily, looked at the dwarf prince who arrived in a hurry and felt very interesting.
The visitor was wearing a rune blacksmith's horned helmet, with a hammer tied around his waist, and the stone armor Drac Duraz's logo was tattooed on the armor.
Judging from the markings of the dwarves, this mustache can be regarded as powerful, of course, this must exclude monsters like Agrim.
"Snorri...Thorgrim's second son, I really envy him."
The Phoenix King's ridicule caused Snorri to feel embarrassed. In terms of age, his father Thorgrim was much younger than Imrik, but he had many more children.
The population of elves far exceeds that of dwarves, but for rulers, this law is reversed.
"The High King asked me to bring greetings, His Majesty the Phoenix King."
"Thorgrim wants to say something... Mustache Snorri, the namesake of the white dwarf, doesn't expect me to help him deal with your chaotic cousins."
Speaking of the Chaos Dwarf, Snorri's mood obviously changed. He took a few deep breaths and the mustache on his chin swayed.
"Of course not. The Empire is a staunch ally of the dwarves. The High King hopes that you can restrain some actions. Caledor's actions in the Southern Kingdom have caused some criticism in the Mountain Kingdom.
If the Phoenix Court continues a similar attitude towards the Empire, the dwarves cannot sit idly by. "
Simply put, all humans are equal, but some humans are more equal than others.
In the eyes of the dwarves, the sacred covenant with Sigmar is more durable than gold. The elves attempt to interfere in human affairs, but they must not endanger the stability of the Sigmar Empire.
"Can I see this as a threat?"
The pressure of the Phoenix King made Snorri narrow his eyes. Although he was young, he had experienced hundreds of battles in the army, and was not comparable to the ordinary mustache.
The tall and tall second son of the High King showed no fear: "You can think that the Kingdom of the Mountains hopes that the empire will remain prosperous and stable, and will abide by the ancient sacred covenant under the banner of the twin-tailed comet of Sigmar.
The twin-tailed comet's flames don't change from red to white, and I hope the elves understand that. "
Stop it, Imric. The Mountain Kingdom does not want the elves to attack the Empire again. This is Thorgrim's idea.
Imrik chuckled a little. It seemed that Thorgrim still stubbornly believed that the Elector Meeting could solve internal matters. He actually thought that the elves' actions were to support a puppet emperor.
"I accept the dwarf's suggestion... but neither the elves nor the dwarves have the right to decide the fate of the empire. We should let the empire people handle it on their own."
Snorri's eyes were full of doubts. His father's judgment may have been wrong. Imric did not appear angry or sophistical. It seemed that he came to Marienburg not for the independence of the empire.
Under the dwarf's still thinking eyes, Imric waved his hand and asked the herald to bring the long-awaited visitor to the scene: "The Phoenix King's Court has no interest in interfering in the internal affairs of the empire. Human affairs are always difficult to predict. I just give The right person, the right opportunity.”
Soon after, the visitor walked in calmly.
William is tall, with a straight and serious appearance. His upbringing from the elector family makes him proud, and he walks with an unquestionable sense of authority.
"Your Majesty the Phoenix King." He first greeted the Phoenix King, and then turned his attention to the dwarf.
Perhaps it was his meeting in the court that gave William some recognition of the dwarf who looked almost the same. He quickly determined that this man was the second son of the High King.
"Prince Snorri."
The Elector's visit surprised Snorri. He had not expected that the Von Holsweig Schlistein family, the most influential family in the empire, had actually become the Phoenix King's family. Watchdog.
"William, are you worthy of Sigma's teachings?!"
William expressed his confusion. After sitting upright on the wooden chair, he spread his hands and asked Snorri: "Prince Snorri, I don't quite understand what you mean. Why do I appear here to be ashamed of Sigmar's teachings."
"you you……"
Whether he was really stupid or just pretending, Snorri thought that humans were pretending to be confused, why would they appear in Marienburg if not to gain Imric's support.
Facts showed that the dwarf's judgment was correct. William did not shy away from Snorri's presence and told the recent events in a concise and comprehensive manner.
“Nearly half of the people in the Electoral Council have agreed to Marienburg’s independence referendum. Dieter IV is still enjoying endless food and wine in Nunn, wishing he could stuff a cart of desserts into his mouth and turn into a fat pig.
I hope you will support the proposal of the von Holsweg Schlistein family to impeach Dieter IV in the Electorate. "
"Shouldn't we attack Marienburg first?" Imrik asked back. If he wanted to cut a piece of fat from Westland, this was the best opportunity.
"No, as long as the emperor vetoes the legitimacy of the referendum bill, Marienburg's request will be invalid. No matter how many gold coins the council spends, it will not be able to blind the Elector Council."
William's tone was firm and he named the recommended candidate: "The one led by Ostermark..."
"No, I think you are a good emperor." Imrick interrupted William's speech. The Electoral Parliament is nothing more than a group of idiots and a stupid system.
The Electoral Princes, the three major churches of Sigmar, Ulrich and Tal, as long as they are controlled, the throne of the emperor is already in their hands.
The von Holswig Schlistin family is a strong competitor for the throne of the emperor. The southern territories are all headed by Rick. If they deal with a few northern forces, they will be able to compete for the throne of the emperor.
William looked calm. When the letter was sent to Rick Territory, the two sides actually had a tacit understanding.
However, there are still some unstable factors. It will take some time to impeach the current emperor and elect the next emperor.
How to make the Electoral Parliament end the political waves in a short time and elect a new emperor before the end of the Marienburg referendum requires external forces.
William is confident that Dieter IV will get out, but this will take a long time to operate, and an important booster is the division of Marienburg.
But if he can take over Marienburg and get the throne of emperor, why hesitate?
You know, the empire is made up of a group of people with different thoughts, and he doesn't mind saving the country in a roundabout way. (End of this chapter)
