Fish schools never fight collectively against the fishing industry, they just want to get out of the net.

——Alexander Solzhenitsyn (Russian writer)

"Patel, you are both the prince of the empire and the head of the Watson family. The five major families have always been models of the nobles of the empire. Now you know how severe the situation of the empire is. Can the five families continue to work hard to be loyal to the empire?"

"Your Majesty, to serve you faithfully and for the empire, this is the position of all our nobles, what do you tell us, our Watson family will go all out and dare not slacken!" Duke Patel's voice was powerful and expressive. .

Duke Patel's words seemed to be ferocious, but Charlie the Great knew that the other party had not made any promises. Even so, Charlie the Great said: "Now there is nothing in the empire. I don't know what the five major families can do for the empire. ?"

"Your Majesty, as long as you give an order, all members of the Watson family, we would like to lead the family of more than 10,000 slaves to the front of the East to help His Royale Prose fight for the empire!"

Seeing that the Duke of Patel has been evading the topic of the'five families', Emperor Charlie can only insult him in his heart with a cry of'old tyrannical cunning'. On the surface, it is still a relief to my heart. He smiled and said: "Watson's family Loyalty, I understand."

"However, the members of your Watson family are the humerus of the empire, and I can't bear to send them to the front line to fight."

Since Charles the Great did not persecute too much, and did not want to make things too ugly, the Duke Patel immediately bid out: "Your Majesty, although the Watson family dare not be a model of the imperial nobility, they will not sit still. The imperial soldiers fought bloodlessly on the front line without asking; on behalf of the Watson family, I would like to donate one million gold coins to the empire for free, and hope that the empire will once again defeat the invasion of the orc army!"

The subtext of the Watson family donating one million gold coins for free is that each family of the five major families donates one million gold coins for free; this result is not very satisfactory to Charlie the Great, but it is not unacceptable. That's it.

The relationship between the royal family and the five major families has never been a pure monarchy; the five major families are not so much the noble courtiers of the Tianlong Empire as they are the partners of the royal family. This is the root of the delicate relationship between the royal family and the five major families. .

After receiving financial support from the Duke of Patel on behalf of the Watson family, Charles the Great announced the end of today's meeting; after the other ministers left, Charlie the Great in his study, he received the secretly intercepted foreign minister Duke of Boris.

"Your Majesty." Duke Boris walked into the den with a frown when he saw frowning thought.

"Boris, you are here, sit down." Looking up at Boris, Emperor Charlie's eyebrows stretched slightly.

"Your Majesty, but still troubled by the orc army?"

"How can you not be bothered? The 1.5 million orc army, as well as a large number of Bimon warriors charged into battle, this is no longer an enemy that our empire can win on its own."

"Your Majesty, if you ask the Bright Holy See again for help, I am afraid that the conditions imposed by the other party will be difficult for us to accept."

"This time we will not ask for help from the Bright Holy See. We will first tell them the size of the orc army and the emergence of the Bimeng warriors."

"Your Majesty, do you want the Guangming Holy See to take the initiative to send troops to assist us?"

"Only relying on the light of the Holy See to send troops to assist us, we still have to be prepared to ask God to send it away easily. We might as well involve other countries; when the multinational coalition forces and the Holy See army will contain each other, we will save us. Many things."

Perhaps it was that Charles the Great was overly optimistic. Duke Boris hesitated and raised an objection: "Your Majesty, not to mention whether other countries will send coalition forces to assist us, even if they are willing to send troops; once the light of the Holy See If we reach a consensus with the multinational coalition forces, then we are really in trouble."

"Boris, do you think the army of Deman Kingdom will reach a consensus with the Bright Holy See?"

"Your Majesty, the relationship between the Kingdom of Deman and our empire has never been very close. Will they send reinforcements to help us?"

Emperor Charlie smiled confidently: "Duke Barlow, the newly rising minister of the Deman Kingdom, once received some of the secret assistance we gave him during his ascension; as long as our envoys arrived in King Deman’s capital, their reinforcements would be Will hit the road immediately."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and admires the micro-ministers!" Boris sent a sigh with a sigh.

Emperor Charles, who was quite contented, said slightly lightly: "As long as the elite army of the Deman Kingdom arrives, the army of the Light Holy See will not be able to toss about the storm; now, do you still worry about asking God to send God easily? ?"

"Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen has no worries!"

"You are the foreign minister of the empire. In your opinion, in addition to the Kingdom of Deman and the Holy See, which countries should we send emissaries to ask for help? In what way do we ask for help?" Seeing Boris has doubts, Charles the Great said himself Called his intention.

"Your Majesty, the most suitable among the countries should be the Rheinland Merchants Union and the White Horse Kingdom. They are not strong and are all adjacent to our country; for the sake of cold lips, as long as our country pays a little price, they should not refuse our country’s help. ."

"More importantly, even if the reinforcements sent by them breed any undesirable ideas and ambitions in our country, our country has strong and powerful northwestern and southwestern governors' border guards, which can easily force Retreat the army of these two countries."

"Well, these two countries can really help." Charlie the Great nodded and said to Boris: "You continue."

"In some countries farther away, the Duchy of Kassel and Feiyu are too deeply influenced by the Holy See, and they should listen to the arrangements of the Holy See; the Kingdom of Cartgat and the Kingdom of Dessau, the former is likely not to be sent on the border with the Elven Empire. Reinforcement, the latter has a very poor relationship with the Deman Kingdom. If they learn that the Deman Kingdom has sent reinforcements, they will either agree to send troops out of competitive psychology or decisively refuse."

"No matter how far away they are the Principality of Hesse, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Empire of Antell. These three countries are too far away from our country, and the possibility of sending reinforcements is not high. Is not without possibility."

After the Duke of Boris had finished speaking, Charles the Great no longer concealed his purpose: "Boris, you are not dealing with the Holy See twice or twice. I think this time it is most appropriate for you to make the Holy See personally. ,how do you feel?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen must do everything in his power to live up to His Majesty's trust!" Duke Boris said firmly.

"Good! Ai Qing really loyal to the country!" Emperor Charlie immediately said: "You go back today to make preparations, and leave for the Bright Holy See tomorrow morning, I will wait for you to give you good news!"
