"Madeleine, send him a Marshal of the East Hudson!"

Caesar IV ordered.

The play requires a complete performance, and if you want to deceive others, the details must be in place.

If the princess comes into contact with the marshal, it will at most be a good story about a hero and a beautiful woman, and no one will meddle in his own business. Please think carefully if the king comes into contact with the marshal privately.

"Marshal Hudson, shouldn't I ask him to dance?"

Princess Madeleine said depressedly.

The scene of dividing the spoils just now directly refreshed her understanding. Fortunately, she was born in the royal family and has developed the ability to be calm at a young age.

Deep down in my heart, I felt a faint regret. If I had known earlier that Hudson's potential stock could soar so fast, she immediately jumped into the trap the first time they met.

Of course, Baron Hudson could not deny the royal family's false marriage. But if he asked her to get involved in advance, he would be able to drag out Hudson's marriage.

The royal marriage will not accept grassroots nobles, which does not mean that it will not accept a marshal who controls the kingdom's army. Now Hudson has the value of being attracted by the royal family.

For a princess who is destined to seek marriage by mistake, the benefits of staying abroad are much better than those of marrying outside.

There are no ifs in reality. If you miss it, you will miss it. Thinking about those things has no consequences other than sulking.

"Princess Palace East, please!"

Hudson said slightly embarrassed.

In all conscience, he really can't dance. No matter how good Hudson is, his native family is just like a little baron, and he has only a handful of resources.

Guangyue's regular practice consumes a lot of resources. How can he have the resources to invite professional dance teachers to learn dance subjects that are meaningless to the lower-class nobles.

On that occasion, one would not and must be there. If one did not dance, other nobles would be laughed at if they did not follow the rhythm. Given Hudson's current status, it would not be a reflection of his personality.

When Wu Renhe was on stage in the Hudson, she showed a very personal performance. She had close contact with Princess Madeleine several times, and some people thought she was flirting.

There was no collision with the people around, so everyone was very thoughtful and spontaneously vacated a space.

"Marshal, please pay attention to the occasion!"

Princess Madeleine lowered her voice and reminded.

In an instant, Hudson's face turned green, and it was unclear whether he jumped into the Canglan River.

He had never studied in a systematic way, but Princess Madeleine wanted to play difficult games and show off her elegance, so it turned out that he was taking advantage.

Fortunately, Princess Madeleine was not really angry, otherwise she would be on his head tomorrow if she was called a disciple.

"Master, why don't they go east for a drink?"

Hudson hurriedly suggested.

Don't continue to fidget on the stage, otherwise the charming story will spread throughout the aristocratic circle tomorrow.

For Princess Madeleine, who did not want to get married, this may be a good thing, but Hudson was in dire straits and must ask the royal family for an explanation.

In everyone's envious eyes, the two walked off the stage. But what those people didn't know was that Hudson was also envious of them.

Compared to Princess Madeleine, who is invisible and untouchable, people like them will only have a chance to have a real love affair tomorrow night.

Those who are in love are always looking for widowed noble ladies to talk about their lives, and there is a young lady who hangs around the noble lady.

…

Frankish Kingdom, after the end of the Continental War, Lutetia became more and more prosperous.

To be precise, the entire Southern Continent has become more prosperous. The hardships of the countries in the Northern Continent and the Central Continent have injected a source of development into the Southern Continent.

Faced with the plundering of foreign armies, the nobles and merchants in the central and northern regions who longed for peace directly moved their families and families to the southern continent with their wealth accumulated over thousands of years.

The Frankish Kingdom, which took the initiative to recruit refugees, was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. In a short period of time, it received millions of immigrants.

The arrival of those people provided both human and financial assistance for the Frankish Kingdom to develop new territories.

The economy prospered, the living space expanded, and there were no opportunities everywhere. For a time, the social contradictions in the Frankish Kingdom dropped to the lowest point.

Everything is developing for the better, and the only constraint that troubles the Frankish Kingdom is the issue of Dongyi Religion.

The Frankish Kingdom, which has grasped the pulse of the times and successfully reaped the biggest dividends from the war in the Eastern Continent, has surpassed the competition and reached the pinnacle of the continent.

And that kind of leading advantage continues to grow as time goes by.

In the dark corners, there are ship after ship of "human slaves" transported from the Central Continent and the Northern Continent, injecting "fuel" into the development of the Frankish Kingdom.

Whether the slave traders have great powers or whether there is a secret deal between the first human kingdom and the alien alliance, no one can tell.

If there is no evidence, it is equivalent to non-existence. Moreover, buying slaves from the legs of aliens does not mean that the Frank Kingdom is doing it. The difference is that they are the first to act and the scale of the transaction is the largest.

Everyone gets what they need from the deal without benefiting from the enemy. From the moment the alien coalition led by the elves stopped engaging in genocide and accepted the surrender of the human soldiers, the seeds of that deal were laid.

The humans who control the area are themselves a hidden danger to the alien alliance.

When it is inconvenient to massacre, selling it in exchange for resources needed for one's own development is undoubtedly the best choice.

The human race was destroyed thirty years ago, seemingly at the hands of the aliens, but in reality the remaining human country and the aliens shared their inheritance.

On the other hand, the two major alien races that were destroyed were really annihilated. It’s not that the Franks and Iberians did not sell alien slaves, but no one was willing to buy them.

An alliance of alien races is just an alliance. If the same race is captured and a ransom is paid, it doesn't matter. For other races, forget it!

We are not so holy. If we really want to redeem a group of orcs and ogres, wouldn't we want to divide a piece of land to raise them?

The war has been going on so far, except for the arms dealers, the dwarves, who still have considerable financial resources, the rest of the alien alliance is extremely poor.

In the recent dozen continental wars, the human race has been able to win more and lose less. The most important reason is not the strong military strength, but the victory of the logistics.

Many times, in the early stages of a continental war, the alien alliance does not have the upper hand, and if it is delayed for a year or two, the situation is reversed.

There is no way, no matter how prepared the foreign alliance is, the resources they can mobilize are enough for them to support the early stage operations.

Even if the omnivorous orcs don't even spare the corpses of their own people, they will soon face logistical problems if they cannot break through on the battlefield.

In addition to being "poor", the uneven distribution of spoils and various interest entanglements within the alien alliance also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the slave trade.

If the balance of power is broken, it will inevitably affect the political structure.

As its strength continued to grow, calls from outside the Frankish Kingdom for the establishment of a separate Holy See became increasingly louder.

"Bidong, the time has come. The Holy See's poor performance in the mainland war has led to its declining reputation. Now is the best time to attack!"

Archbishop Edward Harden persuaded him hard.

The Holy See was scolded bloody in the Human Race Parliament, and was even considered by the outside world to be the party most responsible for the collapse of the situation on the mainland. Naturally, there was pushback from various countries behind it.

The Frankish Kingdom is the most rebellious country, not to mention the main force in it. It has long been prepared to establish a new branch, just waiting for an excuse to launch an attack.

"Bishop Huan Dehua, the Holy See's performance in the mainland war is indeed not good. Isn't it a bit far-fetched to say that they colluded with the alien alliance to betray the interests of the human race?"

Charles III said slightly hesitantly.

Prepare to prepare, completely raise the banner of anti-Vatican, everyone can't help but feel hesitant.

Compared with the human race, can the history of the Holy See be traced back to thousands of years ago? In the continent of Aslant, there is a law: the ancient must be powerful!

In that long history, the Holy See has not declined. But relying on its profound foundation, it has been revived every few hundred years.

On the contrary, the enemies of the Holy See have all disappeared in the long river of history over the long years. There are only a few historical records that can prove their existence.

"Bidong, at this stage, we no longer need to ask for evidence again.

According to the intelligence sent by Marquis Landry from the Alpha Kingdom, they have also been taking action recently.

The Tyran Archbishop even secretly formed: the Privy Council, the Inquisition, the Holy Knights...

Except that there is no teaching Huang Dog, the organizational structure is exactly the same as that of the Holy See of Dawn, and its ambitions are obvious.

Just ask them to take action, and they will definitely follow up. Once the Alpha Kingdom takes action, the Principality of Moxi will also be passively involved, and the entire church in the northern continent will be separated from the control of the Holy See.

The three countries in China and the Mainland are currently at odds with the Holy See, and they will surely appease them in the near future. Even if they do not follow them and establish a separate sect, they will not fully support the Holy See.

Now we need to persuade the Iliban Kingdom Church to establish a separate branch, and the Holy See’s rule in the Aslant continent will completely collapse!”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marquis Jesus, said with high spirits.

Those changes are all due to their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The conflicts between the three countries in the Central Continent and the Holy See were not provoked by them, and the actions of the Alpha Kingdom Church were also instigated by them.

Even the Iliban Church, to the east of their agitation, had the idea of ​​breaking away from the Holy See.

After all, if you can be the boss yourself, who would want to be their little brother all the time?

The Frankish Kingdom is not ready to unify the beliefs of all countries, so the current action will break the monopoly of the Holy See and get rid of the control of religion and politics.

Similar political demands exist widely in various countries on the mainland. Governments in various countries have tried their best to decide whether to reduce the influence of the Holy See.

"Oh, the Alpha Kingdom has been so active. It seems that Caesar IV is not as weak and helpless as the rumors say, and it is probably groundless to be dismissed!"

Charles III said with a smile.

The Holy See's prestige is too deep, and its influence extends to every corner of the continent. Going out to oppose the Holy See alone, even for their first kingdom on the continent, is not too risky.

With more allies working together, the situation would be different. When he first came to power, he dared to declare the Pope illegal. In addition to being young and energetic, he had the help of Caesar III to share the pressure.

After Caesar IV came to power, the anti-papal nature of the Alpha Kingdom remained unchanged, but its specific implementation efforts slowed down significantly.
