Chapter 1159 Rick's Project

"So Snorri, did you hear William's request? I never said I would interfere in the internal affairs of the empire. Facts have proved that the independence of Marienburg is a threat to the empire.

If the Supreme Court has half a respect for the ancient sacred covenant, it should help the empire overcome this difficulty."

Imrick is not going to handle this matter personally. At this stage, entangled in some minor details will only appear to be a loss of status.

Can the dwarves sit back and watch the political situation of the empire? Of course they can, but they can't do this.

The division of Marienburg, in addition to being beneficial to the Council, is a serious blow to the empire.

At the invitation of the von Holswig Schlistin family of Rick Lord, naturally someone will argue for the interveners.

How can such a small matter as interfering in internal affairs compare to the loss of a large amount of gold coins from their hands? The real interests and slogans, the electors still know the difference.

Now the dwarves have only two choices. They can personally act as the backer of the von Holswig Schlistin family and put pressure on the Electoral Council according to the Holy Covenant.

The Mountain Kingdom has signed an alliance with the Empire. Without Westland, can the Empire still be called an Empire?

Otherwise, they can only watch Imrik, under the banner of the Great Crusade Savior, unable to bear the empire ruled by his old friend falling into division, and use various means to force the Electors to quickly pass the impeachment bill.

As a special envoy, Snorri had obviously considered this possibility, but he did not expect that the person Imrik nominated was William, the Elector who was highly respected in the Empire.

After a while, Snorri still found it difficult to make such a major decision. This has broken the rules between the dwarves and the Empire for thousands of years and interfered with the selection of the emperor.

Just like a human suddenly interrupted after the death of King Erikson and said, I think Thorgrim is not good. Real dwarves should follow Agrim. That is a real man, the son of Grungni and Grimnir.

Snorri asked a question: "Phoenix King, if someone in Ulthuan said that your kingship came from conspiracy and trickery, what would Caledor do?"

"I would kill all those who raised the opinion. Kingship has never been a sacred and noble concept. Hidden under the glorious and majestic figure are countless sacrifices and wailing.

As many people are willing to sacrifice for the kingship, as many people want to refute it... I don't care about the opinions of the weak. Since I can make the elves better by becoming the Phoenix King, why should I be falsely humble?"

"That makes sense." William agreed. The political situation in the empire is by no means simpler than that in Ulthuan. It is said that elves are political creatures, but their long life determines that they will not do things too harshly.

But a conspiracy in the empire is enough to bring the entire family into an irretrievable situation.

Just like Marienburg, Magnus was deceived into obtaining the autonomy of Westerland with the overall situation of the empire, but it was to satisfy the idea of ​​independence in his heart.

And if this plan fails, it will not be able to resist the intervention of external forces, and the consequences for the ten major families will be disastrous.

Snorri had no choice but to give him one day. If the Supreme Court agreed to this, he would assist the von Holswig Schlistin family in exerting pressure in the Electoral Council to restore the political situation of the empire to stability as soon as possible.

After the dwarf prince left, William's expression changed, and he said to Imrick seriously: "Your Majesty, I need to tell you a bad news... The Marienburg Council has hired a large number of elite warriors in the Southern Kingdom to deal with your arrival.

If the number of elves coming to the Old World this time is insufficient, for the sake of safety, you should seek help from some knights."

"Do you think the Marienburg Council dares to attack me?" Imrick smiled contemptuously, which seemed to be a fantasy.

Independence can still be said to be a political tendency issue, and the execution of a few leaders is fine, but if Marienburg dares to attack the elven monarch, this matter can be big or small.

If Marienburg is still under the rule of the empire, it is a provocation of humans to the Phoenix Court, and it has a suitable declaration of war.

If they were to secede from the Empire, it would be even better. The Phoenix Court would directly send troops to occupy the richest port city in the Old World, and the Electoral Parliament would not dare to say a word.

But think about it, this kind of thing is really possible. If the Council has realized that the possibility of a referendum for independence has disappeared, it is likely to be desperate.

Killing the Electoral Count is useless. This will only give other lords an excuse to gain benefits from Marienburg. However, if it is to provoke conflicts between the Empire and the Phoenix Court, the friendly relations established over the years will become a waste.

But in another possibility, Imrick doubts whether the mercenaries can break through the line of the Flame Knights.

There are only sixty Flame Knights guarding Marienburg this time... Of course, Imrick thinks that it is okay not to bring any.

However, after listening to William's request, Imrick agreed to this matter: "Cheetah Knights, I prefer these highly disciplined guys, and they can bring me different surprises every time."

William nodded and found the knight of the Chaos Warlord, who was the cheetah who was the fastest among the knights of the Empire.

The Cheetah Knights of the Chapel in Carronburg have been personally commended by the Phoenix King and are considered an indispensable and outstanding force in the Human Empire, and have continued to prove their worth since the Great Crusade.

That promise is still valid. Although the Cheetah did not immediately ask the Phoenix Court to fulfill it, Ulthuan has sent a commissioner to connect with the Knights. The Tal Wind Howling City Legion stationed in the Laurent Forest has signed an agreement with the Cheetah Knights. The two sides will frequently exchange tactics, personnel, skills, and intelligence.

This makes many people very envious. The Cheetah Knights, who lack the support of the church, can also enjoy resources. It should be noted that they have also signed a long-term military employment agreement with the Angrand Clan and the Renaissance Expeditionary Force led by Iron Eyebrows, which is a win-win situation.

The Elector hesitated for a while and made an unwelcome request: "Phoenix King, Rick County intends to form a knight group... only obey the orders of the emperor. We all know that the Elf Knights are the best warriors in the world."

"Name?"

"Rick Guard."

"Very good, your project, I, Imrik, will vote."

How could Imrik not be interested in a legendary army that accompanied Emperor Ka from the Autumn of Altdorf to the Battle of Sigmar and Archaon?

Speaking of the legendary experience of the Reik Guard, it is no less impressive than the old knight orders such as the White Wolf. In the more than 100 years of history, countless brilliant achievements undoubtedly show that it is the backbone of the empire.

As for how a mortal army can stand firm until the end of destruction, Imrick is looking forward to it and is willing to witness its growth in person. (End of this chapter)
