Chapter 38, The Crisis Conference

Holy Empire Calendar 5017, early October.

Central Black Eagle Dynasty, Great Plains of Falcon.

This is a huge city built on the hills and located in the central jurisdiction of the Holy Empire. The whole city is tightly attached to the mountains, overlooking the great Falcon Plain, two large rivers. Passing not far from both sides of the city, the rushing river is like a waterfall falling from the Milky Way in the sky, releasing powerful vitality.

The area of the Falcon Great Plain is more than 1 million square kilometers. The dense canals and canals form a river network system, connecting countless manors, orchards, towns, and rural areas. The Warren River and the The two large rivers of the Sol River run through the emperor’s direct leadership, and transmit the will of the Holy Empire Black Eagle to the whole territory of the Holy Empire along the river network and the asphalt road extending from the capital.

Here has the most fertile black land in the world, the highest yield of food, the most suitable climate for habitability. Trapped in terror and desolation, the Messiah is brought back to life by the hard work of generations of Black Eagle emperors over the centuries.

In terms of appearance, Holy White City is like a semicircle built around a mountain. The giant city is tightly hugged by the towering peaks. From the inside to the outside, it is more than 20 meters away. The high city wall is linked one by one, a total of 7th Layer wraps the imperial city into it, each layer has its own city wall and entrance, the attacker must break through the city wall layer by layer to continue to move forward, and the smooth Looking at the mountain, the imperial city of black golden stands on the hillside of Holy White City, the holy emblem of the eight-pointed sun, the coat of arms of black griffins, the seal of golden scales and the pattern of Jupiter’s face can be seen everywhere.

This is the Imperial Palace, the heart of the Holy Empire.

And on the top of the mountain is a magnificent air corridor building complex hanging on sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces, here is the famous city of angels in the cloud, where the angel family lives, although it is impossible to Recreate the glorious days when tens of thousands of angels guarded the capital, but now there are less than 500 angels left that still have a strong deterrent power.

As long as the angels are adults, they have the strength of the Legendary rank, the well-known figure is the Destiny rank, and the lifespan is infinite, but the angels cannot enter the Void Realm to impact the extreme realm. This is an iron law, and the reason is unknown.

The two current Archangel chiefs are Michael and Uriel, the leaders of the angel family.

The Holy Empire Palace is divided into two parts, the Oropus Palace is the office area, the Laurel Palace is the living area, and the Nineteenth Banquet Hall is the entertainment area. The palace complex includes gardens, chapels, Courtyards, corridors, barracks and residences for the emperor’s entourage and servants.

“Boom~boom~boom~”

A heavy bell rang from the Imperial Palace.

“Dong~dong~dong~”

In the majestic depths of the vast and far-reaching Imperial Palace, a waiter quickly stepped into the Imperial Palace with black and red tapestries, Inside the Imperial Palace, one post at three steps and one post at five steps, the Black Eagle Knights and Black Eagle Royal Legion soldiers, heavily armored and wearing kite helmets, looked at everything nearby with scrutiny.

Walking into the palace gate, the inner servant glanced at the side hall and found that the door was still closed. He hurried a few steps to the heavy palace gate and knelt on the gorgeous black jade stone floor tiles: ” Your Majesty, it’s time for a discussion.”

No one responded.

“Your Majesty, it’s time for the discussion. Your Excellency Michael Archangel, Your Excellency Prime Minister Wilhelm, Imperial Marshal von der Leyen, Archduke Raven Otto and the others are all waiting for you.”

p>

The servant’s voice was much louder.

The sound of the bell echoed inside the palace gate from far to near.

“Albert, what time is it now?” An old and hoarse voice came from the inner hall with endless majesty.

The waiter couldn’t help trembling when he heard this voice, and he quickly stabilized his body: “Your Majesty, it’s 2:50 in the afternoon.”

“Two o’clock Fifty minutes, you’re a little late.” The door opened, and the old man in the standard Black Eagle Imperial Marshal’s uniform came out.

Standard short-inch all-white hair, broad and clean forehead brows tightly frowns, deep eye sockets, a pair of eagle-like deep purple eyes exuding bottomless rays of light, gorgeous dense The splayed W-shaped beard and the beard on the chin are neatly groomed, the thin lips are tightly closed, the high nose bridge becomes the focus of the line of sight, the crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes and the deep nasolabial lines at both ends of the nose indicate his age It is already high, but there is still a kind of majestic beauty that is exclusive to men.

Black military boots, several golden tassels on the chest, marshal’s epaulettes, the Order of the Eight Lights of the Sun, and the coat of arms of the black griffin family reflect the rays of light of bright yellow.

Seeing that everything is ready, the old man nodded, without the slightest emotion in his words: “Let’s go.”

Holy Empire Black Eagle Emperor “Sun Emperor” Isaac Olger – von Hohenzollern, the seventh emperor of the sixth Black Eagle Dynasty, he took over the crown from father Henry XII when he was 90 years old in the 4930th year of the Holy Empire calendar and declared his enthronement as Holy Black Emperor Eagle.

The bloodline isn’t as powerful as it used to be.

Isaac is 177 years old this year, and his body is getting older.

At the same time, in the east of the Kingdom of Rizlan, the vassal of the Holy Empire, the Great Empire of Attila nomads is dominating the Saran Prairie. The arrogance threatens the entire continent.

However, the comprehensive national strength of Isaac’s sixth Black Eagle Dynasty is far above that of the nomadic Great Empire. The level of productivity ranks first in the world.

More importantly, with the return of the Grand Priest Cecilia from the Void Realm in the 5000th year of the Holy Empire calendar to cast Holy Throne, the Holy Empire already has the ability to compete with the god Khan Attila. Capital, the great priest Cecilia, who is currently less than 100 years old, is at its peak in the spring and autumn, and she can guard the Holy Empire for at least 700-800 years.

Isaac’s hard waiting has finally come to an end. In the long-term watch, he finally has the opportunity to fulfill the unfinished dream of his father – to recast the glory of the first and second dynasties, and turn the Holy Empire north to the north. The Principality of Northumberland, the Principality of Wallace in the south, the Seven Shields Alliance in the Southwest, the Floating Void City group of the Light Elf Dawn Islands in the Northwest and the Dark Elf Gloomy Forest Sea were re-incorporated under the Holy Empire.

Of course, there is also the dwarf Grinham Mountains Kingdom, but dwarves don’t have to worry, as long as these autistic dwarfs see the power of the Holy Empire, they will definitely take the initiative to acknowledge allegiance.

What Isaac absolutely did not expect was that the Holy Empire suffered a major setback and was sent to recover the Principality of Wallace on top of the first step of recasting its glory-conquering the Principality of Wallace. The main force of the army has not even entered the territory of the Principality of Wallace. The 20,000 forward troops have been defeated and lost, and only 3,000 people are left to withdraw.

The originally good situation could no longer be fought in an instant. After the victory of the Principality of Wallace, it was even more prepared and asked all forces in the continent to mediate. The Holy Throne Supreme of the Light Elf and the Seven Shields Alliance Holy Throne Supreme immediately came out to mediate.

Isaac is helpless, the Holy Empire’s great business is not so great that it can no longer dispatch troops, but in this world of order Sovereign everything has to be famous, the previous excuses for war have been used up, at this time If you continue to fight, then all the forces on the continent will come to stop the Holy Empire.

Actually they’ve surreptitiously blocked it.

The glory days are gone, Holy Empire is not as powerful as it used to be, and it is impossible to fight all forces at the same time.

And another news came at this time. The Oracle of Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven, informed the Black Eagle court that the legendary Chosen One had appeared. The time will come.

That’s what we’re going to discuss today.

Opnos Palace, Holy Spring Courtyard.

The long table has been set up, the emperor’s seat is vacant, and the other four participants are already seated.

The emperor walked like a dragon and stepped like a tiger, and strode into the courtyard of the holy spring accompanied by two attendants.

The four imperial officials were already waiting, and when they saw the emperor appear, they immediately got up.

The chief minister is about 2.4 meters tall. He is slender and well-proportioned, with long white hair tied up in a ponytail, golden eyes, uncommon martial heroism, and a forehead. The four-winged wings behind the crescent mark on him all indicate his identity.

He is Michael, one of the two Archangel chiefs of the angel family, Peak Archangel of the Destiny Order, the epic hero of the angel family, this Archangel has been the spokesperson of Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven for a long time. Walking in the mortal world until the 5000th year of the Holy Empire calendar, the great priest returned from the Void Realm, but due to the infrequent activities of the great priest, Michael lived more as a representative of the gods under the great priest, apart from this, Archangel The chief was also the emperor’s personal military adviser.

But in principle, angels are not allowed to interfere in mortal affairs, Michael will only give some personal opinions on these matters, this Archangel chief has always had an ultimate goal – slaughtering the devil, for the first blood Revenge of the family who died in the Battle of the Moon.

The second important minister was the Reich Chancellor Wilhelm, Wilhelm-Albert von Waldeck, who was not tall and looked fatter, although his hair and beard were equally well groomed. The temperament of the whole person is still slightly weak.

The title of Prime Minister of the Empire has a long history. In the era of the first dynasty, Romani, the first emperor of the Holy Falcon, conquered everything and suppressed the world. No one was his opponent. That era was the era of Romani alone. , shocking past and present.

It’s just that the first Holy Falcon Emperor was too good at fighting. His education level was relatively poor in the several decades before the founding of the country. At that time, the gods of heaven often manifested themselves. They brought civilization to mortals. The critics made their own script for the Holy Falcon Empire, and a secretary was specially responsible for following Emperor Romani to listen to him dictate and write the emperor’s edicts.

Over time, this group of priests gradually evolved into the imperial cabinet system, and the clerk position also evolved into the imperial prime minister.

In the face of the emperor who has ruled the Holy Empire for almost 90 years, the imperial prime minister William count did not dare to take it lightly. The emperor had a total of 22 imperial prime ministers before him, and 15 of them were taken by the emperor. The “Sun Emperor” was ruined and drained all the value and then thrown it home for retirement or reused waste (outward assignment of drudgery), and the remaining 7 were also in despair. He died of a serious illness after serving as Prime Minister for three months.

Even so, the position of Prime Minister still attracts all the imperial nobles.

William knew that he was lucky. When he took office as Prime Minister of the Empire, the emperor was already old and his energy was not as strong as before. The prime minister who served for 11 years was not sent to the landfill (referring to embassies everywhere) to be used as fertilizer waste.

Imperial Marshal Von der Leyen – Von – Rundstedt, a veteran with great military exploits, with a big bald head, a standard W-shaped mustache, experienced.

Otto Raven, Archduke Raven, is blond, with long hair tied in a ponytail over his left shoulder. Appearance of about twenty years old, fair-skinned, very handsome, wearing a white striped shirt, purple suit vest and light black tuxedo, and a purple tie. Wearing black gloves, black trousers and leather shoes.

The Archduke Otto of Raven is the emperor’s loyal loyalist, the Legendary powerhouse, but it is interesting that this Otto encountered the same difficulties as the emperor in terms of heirs, and his five nephews are fighting for the right of succession. Fighting for blood.

The emperor came to his seat and sat down: “I called you here today to discuss recent matters.”

“Your Majesty, Wallace’s terms of peace talks The terms of our peace talks are close to the same.” Raven Archduke Otto said, he took out a few scrolls, but the emperor raised his hand and said that he didn’t need to bring them over: “Those things are not important, the terms of the peace talks are only some details, I myself There are arrangements.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Otto bowed his head.

“Today is about the prophecy of the Seven Seals. Michael, you are the elder Archangel, the elder of the angels, you can talk about it.” Emperor Black Eagle leaned on the back of the chair, slightly Squinting: “What the hell is going on?”

“Your Majesty, the exact news, the First Seal in the Seven Seals has been revealed.” Archangel Chief Michael looked solemn: “The Heaven’s Lord Oracle, we must find the Chosen One before the 4th Seal is lifted! Otherwise the world will go to inevitable destruction!”

“The First Seal has been lifted? How?”

“The prophecy of the seven seals? But…for more than 4,000 years, this has never happened.”

The Imperial Marshal and the Archduke Raven expressed the news. Confused, they did not pay special attention as Michael imagined, but questioned.

The crowd’s reaction made Michael Archangel’s face more serious.

In fact, he was a little unbelievable when he received the news, but the Ripper incident that swept the entire Holy Empire before automatically connected everything, and the Lord of Heaven told him that Chosen One had come in his in front of one’s eyes!

Worship is eager for the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Seven Seals! This is how they are confusing and preventing Holy Empire from discovering the real Chosen One!

“Your Excellency Michael, it’s not that we suspect you, but…” William, the Prime Minister of the Empire, said in a deep voice, “For more than four thousand years, the Seven Seals prophecy has only been a prophecy, how could it suddenly happen? Is it happening now? Could it be… mistaken?”

“How could it be wrong, this is the Oracle of the Lord of Heaven!” Michael golden’s eyes were fixed on the Prime Minister of the Empire : “The First Seal has really been lifted. If we let Chosen One continue, then the destruction of the world is just around the corner.”

“Yes, you are right, Lord Michael.” Prime Minister William’s eyes were bloodshot of densely packed, and he also returned to the top: “Then the question is, where is the Chosen One you are talking about now? Who is it?”

Michael’s voice was one Suffocating, Chief Archangel stood up and said angrily: “This topic should not be asked of me, but should be asked of you, the Lord of Heaven has long ago asked you to send people to monitor those possible targets, but what do your people eat? Not only did they find nothing after the Chosen One appeared, but they were also listed with no difficulty by the Phantom Cult! 80% of the dispatch officers in a rip-opening incident were killed collectively, and the church allocated tens of thousands of gold ecubits every year to support you. Such a bunch of rubbish?”

The Prime Minister of the Empire was speechless in the face of Michael’s questioning.

But William had his own way, leaning back: “I can resign at any time, Your Excellency Michael, as long as Your Majesty approves.”

” Now is not the time to talk about this!” Chief Archangel was displeased by the words of the Prime Minister of the Empire, he said solemnly: “I ask the cabinet to issue a statement to devolve the authority and give the Inquisition the greatest power to find the Chosen One, which cannot be let go. Any suspicious target.”

“This matter is far more serious than you can imagine, everyone, and Your Majesty, please take it seriously!”

“If the world is The regime is incapable of responding, so it should be handed over to the Church of the Gods of Heaven, and the cabinet should respond immediately!”

Everyone in the audience was silent, and they subconsciously turned their eyes to the eyes that were closed. The talking emperor.

Do you really want to let go of the restrictions on religious power and let it search for the “Chosen One” among the people?

Once the angels and the Inquisition are fully deployed, it will undoubtedly cause a fatal blow to the imperial power and even the interests of the nobility. Angels have always been a group of dead brains who cannot tolerate sand in their eyes, and most of the people in the Inquisition are even more serious. “You don’t want to believe in the gods of heaven and you don’t want to die to make everyone very embarrassed.” Once the power is released, it means a “big purge” throughout the entire Holy Empire.

In addition to the gray interests of the nobles, the economy of the entire Holy Empire will also suffer a fatal blow. How many people dare to say that they are not afraid of investigating this big business?

The influence of imperial and secular powers will be reduced, taxes will be greatly affected, and the influence of the church will be greatly increased!

This is not in line with the tacit understanding between the two parties. Since the first Holy Falcon Emperor, the Holy Empire and the gods of heaven have only been in a cooperative relationship. The Imperial Family has never been a rubber stamp in the hands of the gods of heaven!

“It doesn’t seem to be an accident.”

The emperor who never said a word from the very beginning finally spoke, and his eyes were slightly opened with a strong majesty. Feeling that the oppression will suppress everyone in the meeting, everyone shut up and waited for his decision.

“Chosen One? The seven seal prophecy? Did you tell the great priest about this?” The emperor’s voice was calm and strong, with an unquestionable determination: “Michael? This is not like you. , you should immediately inform Her Majesty Cecilia.”

“Not yet.” Chief Archangel can only reply truthfully: “I was negligent.”

“Then first Inform your Majesty Cecilia.” The Old Sovereign closed his eyes again: “Consult her first, and then make a decision.”

“Yes.” No one questioned the emperor’s decision, There is only one Holy Throne Supreme in the entire Holy Empire. The long period of the Holy Throne window has made the Holy Empire enough of the pain of being threatened and interfered by other forces, the Holy Throne Supreme.

Archangel Michael the long paused.

Michael was very dissatisfied with the attitude of everyone. He said the matter was serious, but these important imperial ministers, especially the imperial Helmsman, disagreed.

But the last time Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven, appeared in front of people was in the 5000th year of the Holy Empire. On that appearance, the Lord of Heaven, Oracle, all the angels and the whole church, told them to obey the decree of the Great Priest.

On this point alone, there is something wrong with his program.

“Isn’t Celeste going to make peace talks with Wallace’s Roboute?” The emperor suddenly coldly snorted: “Tell her to meet me in the study.”

“As you bid! ”

After finishing speaking, the emperor immediately got up and left, and everyone also dismissed the meeting.

Ten minutes later, a lady in a full military uniform with a noble and stern atmosphere came to the Imperial Palace’s study under the guidance of her attendants.

A statue of an angel without head and arms hangs on her chest.

Until now, only the monumental statue radiates an invisible phantom in front of the Imperial Princess’ chest.

It’s like… being activated.
