The Original Vampire

The cold wind that leaked in from nowhere turned around in the hall.

All the cabinet ministers couldn't help trembling.

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Baron Heidegger, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, it's not a good idea to anger the Church at this time."

Emperor Reinhard said dissatisfiedly: "What? As a member of the empire, shouldn't the Church of Radiance make its due contribution to the fight against the orc invasion? The empire's finances are tight, so it's impossible to borrow a little money from them?"

Baron Heidegger shook his head firmly and said, "Maybe it could be discussed before, but now, absolutely not!"

"why?"

"Your Majesty, do you know that just this morning, the Archbishop of the Eastern Region was buried in the Holy Sepulcher under the arrangement of Pope Gregory.

How could an archbishop, He Dehe, enjoy such a privilege?

This is obviously the Pope's way of expressing his anger to the outside world. If you come to the door at this time, even if you borrow money from the church in a negotiated tone, the Pope must strictly reject you in order to maintain his tough attitude. "

Reinhard the Great resisted his anger and gritted his teeth: "Should we just let the Church stay out of the way?"

Baron Heidegger said blankly:

"Your Majesty, according to the Code of Radiance, protecting the territory from foreign invasion is the responsibility of the nobles, not the church. Therefore, even if the church really stays out of the way, there is no blame."

Bang!

Emperor Reinhardt placed his palm on the armrest of the seat, and the sound made all the cabinet ministers tremble.

"Then the "Code of Glory" also stipulates that the church must not interfere in secular affairs. Have they strictly followed it?"

Baron Heidegger was silent.

After Emperor Reinhard's anger subsided a little, he spoke again:

"Your Majesty, if you think about it from the Pope's point of view, once he agrees to your loan, can the actions of the lords of the Eastern Territory be considered reasonable in special circumstances?

How will the church punish those Eastern nobles in the future?

The Pope's practice of burying the Archbishop of the East in the Holy Sepulchre,

Wouldn't it be a joke? "

Emperor Reinhardt's face became extremely gloomy, staring at Baron Heidegger coldly, and asked:

"Heidegger! As my Prime Minister, you are actually thinking about the Pope's difficulties?"

Baron Heidegger looked at Emperor Reinhardt without giving an inch, and said indifferently:

"Your Majesty, I'm not speaking for the Pope, but this matter has indeed touched the bottom line of the church, and if it is not handled properly, it will have extremely serious consequences.

And this consequence, in the current situation where the orc invasion is imminent, the Radiance Empire cannot bear.

So, you must not stimulate the church at this time.

What's more, we have already taken advantage of the change in the Eastern Realm. Now, as long as we stabilize the current situation, repel the invasion of the Orc Empire, and then take care of the church, it is a safe move. "

Emperor Reinhardt was silent, and the hall was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The powerful aura of the sixth-order knight made everyone feel a trembling from the depths of their hearts.

But Baron Heidegger, an ordinary man who was not even a knight, stood there with his head held high and stared silently at Emperor Reinhardt with a clear conscience.

After a long time, I don't know if I want to understand it, or if I find that such a threat is useless to the smelly and hard stone of Baron Heidegger, Emperor Reinhard finally has no choice but to restrain his aura.

But still said in a bad tone: "Then how do you solve the problem of military spending?"

Baron Heidegger seemed to be prepared, and immediately said:

"Your Majesty, I also don't think it's necessary to assemble an army of millions so early. First, the lords from all over the world have no time to organize, and secondly, it is too expensive to maintain such a large-scale army.

Therefore, we can ask the lords to send their army to the Western Region in two batches to assemble, and the first batch will arrive at the original time. In this way, if the orc army arrives early, we will not be completely unprepared.

As for the second batch of troops, there is no need to worry so much. You can wait for the exact news of the dispatch of the orc army before setting the time for assembly.

In this way, a lot of military expenses can be saved, and the lords of various places will have more time to mobilize their troops. "

Reinhard the Great glanced around the hall with a cold face and asked, "What do you think? What is the Prime Minister's suggestion?"

"I completely agree with the advice of the Prime Minister!" The Finance Minister Earl Lloyd immediately interfaced.

The rest of the cabinet ministers also echoed their words.

Emperor Reinhard's expression softened a little, but he still seemed a little unhappy, and said, "Then we really let the church stay out of the way, without any blood?"

Baron Heidegger lamented in his heart when he saw that Emperor Reinhardt was always thinking about the church at such a critical moment, but he still said patiently:

"Your Majesty, if you want the church to also participate in this war, you can't use strong means, but only from public opinion."

"public opinion?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. You can send someone to secretly announce that the Church will soon send the Knights Templar to participate in the war against the Orcs. As long as the news spreads among the people of the Empire, even if the Pope is reluctant, in order to maintain the Church in the hearts of the people The lofty prestige of the monarch also had to send the Knights Templar to the West."

Emperor Reinhard's eyes lit up, but he was still a little dissatisfied, saying:

"Just the Knights Templar?"

"In a similar way, the church may also be able to send military chaplains, but it's limited to that. As for things like 'tithing', your Majesty should put an end to this idea as soon as possible."

Emperor Reinhardt glared at Baron Heidegger, but no longer bothered about this issue.

"Okay, let's do what the Prime Minister wants." Emperor Reinhardt stood up and announced aloud, "In addition, you don't have to worry about the selection of the commander of the imperial coalition this time, I'm ready to drive. Prospect!"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall were shocked.

Baron Heidegger was about to speak to dissuade him, but found Emperor Reinhardt looking at him coldly, and said quietly:

"What? The Prime Minister doesn't think I deserve to be the commander of this coalition?"

Baron Heidegger would like to remind the confident emperor - you have never been on a battlefield!

A person who has never really experienced a battle formation actually wants to command an army of millions... This is simply joking about the survival of the empire and the lives of soldiers.

But no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to say "you're not worthy" in person.

What's more, he also knew that his persuasion just now had made Emperor Reinhardt dissatisfied with him. If he continued to stimulate, I am afraid that the emperor who wanted to show his strength would not forgive him anymore.

With a secret sigh, Baron Heidegger lowered his head in silence.

Seeing that even the Prime Minister of the Empire has died down, of course the rest of the cabinet ministers dare not talk much.

During this period of time, they had already figured out Emperor Reinhardt's impetuous and stubborn character, and they knew that going to dissuade him at this time would definitely not end well.

Seeing that no one objected, Emperor Reinhard nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, that's it, let's go and prepare for each other, don't make any mistakes!"

After speaking, he strode away.

At the moment when the door was opened, a biting cold wind blew in, causing all the cabinet ministers in the hall to shudder.
