Chapter 1162 William III
A small team broke away from the legion and arrived in the city from the secret entrance of Marienburg.
After hearing that the Romour family had ordered the mob to besiege the Phoenix King's manor, the righteous Orseya rushed to the prosperous inner city with the female soldiers.
The idea was simple. Maybe the Phoenix King was concerned about the face of the Elector Council and was not willing to kill the ten major families. Then the people below did not have such concerns.
From the perspective of affiliation, the Tal Wind Howling City Legion belongs to the jurisdiction of the Dragon Palace. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the Phoenix King's Court. It can only be said that it is a vicious dog under the door.
But before entering the Romour family, Orseya encountered something not so good.
Hiding in the shadows of the street corner, Orseya was promoting a policy of not leaving any prisoners behind to her sisters. She stopped talking immediately when she heard footsteps approaching, drew out her sword and shouted, "Who?"
"You are so forgetful... Miss Orseya."
The familiar tone made Orseya put away her sword immediately, led the female soldiers to kneel on one knee, and nodded to show respect.
"Your Majesty."
Imrick walked out of the street with a weird look on his face. How come the people from Wind Howl City also sneaked into Marienburg?
Didn't I give an order to surround Marienburg before the new emperor was elected?
The Phoenix King, who came in plain clothes, disguised himself with the captain of the guard. At a glance, they were just two inconspicuous elves.
After all, there are very few humans who are lucky enough to meet the Phoenix King. Imrick can become an adventurer in the empire by changing his appearance and temperament.
Creon frowned, indicating that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the actions of his old boss's daughter.
This was a muddy water that was difficult to figure out. The legion's duty was only to surround Marienburg for Rick County to prevent William from being caught in a verbal attack, which would result in an investigation after the impeachment, delaying the emperor's position.
"Tell me your purpose. I hope you are not stupid enough to want to remove the Romoul family."
The words of the Phoenix King made Orseya silent for a while, and she immediately refuted.
"The Romoul family's disrespect for you made Caledor deeply angry... If your majesty is concerned about the relationship between the two countries, the Tal Wind Howling City Legion can eliminate everything..."
"Stupid."
The undisguised criticism made Orseya more silent. She wanted to be stubborn, but the captain of the Flame Knights shook his head slightly, indicating that she should not refute his majesty's words again.
"Yes."
The proud lady lowered her head helplessly. It was just a few monkeys. Kill them.
Imrick, who knew the character of the young lady of the Adonis family, was not prepared to spend too much time explaining. If the informant had not reported that an elf had secretly sneaked into Marienburg, Olseya would not know how much trouble she would have caused.
"Is it Oliveira's instigation, or your personal idea?"
"It's our personal idea. The legion commander stubbornly believes that we only need to surround Marienburg..." Olseya didn't say a word. Oliveira had already prepared for the siege. As long as the Romour family instigated the mob again.
The dragon would immediately attack the human city and escort the Phoenix King to leave safely.
Such an answer made Imrick feel relieved. Sometimes he really thought that if the legion commanders who were given important tasks were a group of martial arts idiots who only considered conquest and honor, the reputation of the elves in the world would be no different from that of the Skaven.
Surrounding Marienburg, but not attacking, this is just a signal.
The Phoenix Court has no intention of going to war with the Empire, but there must be a solution. Whether it is to remove the Romoul family or for the Emperor to apologize to the Phoenix King after the end of the Electoral Council, it will take time.
The intensification of the conflict will only make the Council's plan succeed. Don't overestimate the moral level of businessmen. If they are really desperate, they don't mind letting the Empire fall into the quagmire.
"Now..." Imrick looked at the dozen Miss Caledo for a long time and thought that they couldn't be let go. These girls are too jumpy, and Oliveira probably finds it difficult to control them.
"Follow me to the manor. You are not allowed to leave until the matter is resolved."
"Ah?!" Orseya, accompanied by a group of female generals, raised their doubts, causing Imrick to snort coldly: "What? Aren't you the Dragon Prince? You dare to disobey my orders?"
"Don't dare."
The dusty noble ladies followed the Phoenix King and silently left the territory of the Romoul family. Seeing the blind guys, especially the humans with lecherous eyes, Orseya, who was proficient in magic, chose to display a flaming skull in the human community.
People with flaming hair rushed to the water source eagerly, and couldn't help shouting that the elf witch was coming, and everyone should run.
Such a small matter would not anger the Phoenix King. He just thought that the punishment was too low and should all be thrown into the crematorium.
Restraint is a means of bargaining. When the Flame Knights began to investigate the origins of the mob, the Elf Electors' Council also ordered the Council to appease the Phoenix King and, under the pressure of the Mountain Kingdom, held a referendum on the independence of Westland.
The meeting was chaired by Emperor Dieter IV, which accelerated the progress of Marienburg's separation. If a strong man had not descended from the sky, Westerland would have officially separated from the empire in five days.
But after William arrived at the Electoral Council with the notices from the three major churches of Sigmar, Ulrich, and Tal, as well as the information that Dieter IV had accepted bribes, Dieter IV, who was ready to stamp and sign, faced the biggest challenge since he came to power.
He was impeached by the Elector of Reikland for accepting bribes, blasphemy, abusing power for personal gain, and splitting the empire...
Countries that elect monarchs naturally have an impeachment system. Generally speaking, there are almost no emperors in the empire who have stepped down due to impeachment.
But this time, Dieter IV's timing might have been bad. He spent too long dealing with Marienburg, and everyone began to understand that this guy was not a competent emperor.
The ultimate fate of an emperor who cannot satisfy his interests will naturally be extremely miserable.
The High Priest of Sigmar excommunicated Dieter IV without emotion, believing that he had failed to fulfill his duty to protect the empire and allowed merchants to split the empire to satisfy their own interests.
A referendum on Marienburg's legal independence turned into an impeachment of the emperor.
Dieter IV, who quickly stepped down, returned to the barren Stiir territory with a stigma and a car full of gold.
What is left to William now is a parliament of electors who are jealous of each other, and the remaining religious conflicts...
And Marienburg awaits harvest.
The army of Rickland was assembled as quickly as possible, and the knights who had coveted the wealth of Westland for a long time couldn't wait to take over the burden of the elves and surrounded the entire city.
In order to give an explanation to the Phoenix King, William sacrificed the Romoour family and put them all on the gallows as a warning to those who disobeyed... (End of this chapter)
