Chapter 538 [Entry](1/2)

Chapter 538 [Enter]

Ruhr's proposal seemed to point out a new path.

The Landis...

But what makes the imperial capital embarrassed is that in recent times, Lantis' assistance to the Byzantine Empire has gradually declined.

This is easy to understand.

The Landis were involved in this civil war in Byzantine, with the purpose of gaining benefits - enough benefits. This sea kingdom was trying to gain benefits on the mainland and selling their rights to the mainland.

Previously, the Byzantine Empire signed a series of compromise treaties in exchange for the support of the Lantis, whether it was sea aid or the Lantis directly sent troops to land in Osgilia, helping the empire to repel the warlord army and relieve the danger of the city of Osgilia... All of this is based on the fact that the Lantis had to get enough benefits, as well as the expected guarantee of these benefits!

But now, it seems that in the eyes of the Landis, the market conditions of the Byzantine Empire seem to be quite worse than those a few months ago.

This is understandable.

A few months ago, everyone thought that the authority of the central government had weakened to the lowest trough in history, but no one expected that this was not the bottom at all! Today, a few months later, people had to sigh that the decline of the central government had reached an amazing level: the last rebellion in the south that controlled the territory, the Duke of Minas led his army south, directly competing with the central government, the mutiny of the Adrick capital, and so on, the authority of the Byzantine Empire seemed to be in turmoil, and it was just a last breath.

At this time, it was no wonder that the enthusiasm of the Landis people decreased: Seeing that the Byzantine Empire had become like this, maybe the country's destiny would be completely destroyed one day. At this time, the Landis people began to hesitate and began to be cautious.

...Even if the Byzantine Empire is willing to give up more benefits, the premise must be that this empire must continue to exist! Even if the Byzantine Empire is now willing to cede the land of several counties to the Landis, the Landis have to think carefully: If this empire is destroyed, this kind of treaty will be equivalent to a piece of waste paper and has no value at all.

At this time, the nobles and wealthy families in the imperial capital, and the big guys of all kinds began to watch the news, seek new bet candidates, and try to change the boat...

The Landis are no exception.

They may have begun to feel that continuing to support the Byzantine royal family may not be a clever move. Perhaps, instead choosing other supporters on the mainland is a wiser choice.

There are also candidates: the Duke of Minas in the South, with outstanding prestige, wide connections, far-reaching foundation, tens of thousands of troops in his hands, several counties in the south, and a large number of traditional aristocratic forces in the empire, which is a good candidate for support.

For example, the garrison general named Charles Serming in the north, Duke Noz, is also a good candidate. After all, the former ace staff member of the Kingdom Intelligence Agency of the Kingdom of Landis, Fdax, is now under Charles Serming's command. The Garros Chamber of Commerce, the intelligence organization lurking on the mainland in the Kingdom of Landis, also has a lot of interests with the small group of Charles Serming.

For example, Adrick of the imperial capital had merits, prestige, and army. He also occupied the imperial capital of Osgilia, the largest city in the mainland, and also held the emperors of the Byzantine Empire in his hands - he was also a good candidate.

However, based on Adrick's character, the Landis people were afraid that it would be difficult to put their ideas on him. Although it was a clever way to use the emperor to command the princes, Adrick obviously lacked the ambition of powerful ministers.

In short, who will really take the Byzantine royal family seriously now?

Anyone who understands a little bit has seen it clearly: with the cunning revival of Duke Minas, he regained military power and moved south to seize the last foundation of the empire, and with Adrick of the imperial capital, he was forced to mutiny and seized the supreme power... The Byzantine Empire royal family had already died in name only, and the imperial royal family had no slight power. What remains was just a nominal supreme position.

...

The current attitude of the Landis people is actually somewhat ambiguous.

They intervened in the early stages of the war, and the time they intervened was very clever. Landis's invincible navy easily broke the coastal defense of the Byzantine Empire and landed in the empire's Catania port. Then the Landis army landed and quickly occupied a considerable territory with several port cities as the center.

However... it is quite ironic that the Kingdom of Landis participated in the war in the name of supporting the Byzantine royal family, but in fact, after the landing of the Landis army, several port cities and territories occupied were actually areas controlled by the central government of the pre-war empire.

Subsequently, the Landis Navy rescued Osgilia, captured the port area, and repelled the warlords' broken city troops. After restoring the imperial capital, the army deliberately stayed in the emperor for a long time, causing great tension to the Byzantines!

This ally is not a real friend, but a wolf that can bite people at any time.

However, the imperial capital still needs to rely on the continuous assistance of the Lantis people from the sea, so many times, they can only hold back with their noses.

Now, it seems that the honeymoon period of cooperation between the Empire and the Kingdom of Landis has passed. The assistance of Landis gradually declines and its attitude is becoming more and more indifferent. Instead, the port cities occupied are centered on, gradually eroding the surrounding land and gradually gaining a foundation on the mainland. Several port cities are connected together, radiating the surrounding land, and they are gradually eaten by the Landis people.

At this time, is it a good idea to ask the people of Landis?

However, the method proposed by Ruer is indeed attractive.

Walking by sea is much safer than going on land. The advantage of the Landis on sea is overwhelming. Going out from the imperial capital, take a sea boat, go northwest along the coastline, then landing from the Port of Catania, and then heading north. Although it takes a few days to pass through the borders of two warlord military regions, the distance is much shorter. Just be careful and you can enter the territory of the Besta people in three or five days. Besta has now become the center of the empire, so it is safe.

After intense discussions, the upper class of the imperial capital quickly invited the Foreign Minister like the Landis to make a request.

But Ruhr was sure that the Landis would not refuse.

The fat man is so sure, so naturally he has his own reasons.

By the way, in the list of the 296 officials, although Adrick did not install his own people, Ruhr installed a few. The people who installed were all teachers of the Imperial Capital Military Academy, and also people like Ruhr's confidants and friends.

While the others were still nervously waiting for the Lantis people's answer, Ruhr had already secretly told the people he had installed: Get ready for his luggage and prepare for going to sea!

Sure enough, the fat man's judgment was correct!

Although the Landis' reaction was a bit slow, it responded a few days later and agreed to the Byzantine request.

The Landis even sent four escort warships to escort along the way, and promised that after the personnel landed in the port of Catania, two thousand Landis Army would escort them along the way until the Besta Military Region.

The Landis helped cooperate so much that the imperial capital was very surprised.

But only the fat man just sneered.

"It seems that the Landis really bet on that boy Chara."

...

…………

With the help of the Landis people, the two Landis transport ships, which were loaded with two Landis transport ships, and four warships, were quickly left the imperial capital Osgilia, and a few days later, landed in the port of Catania.

The Governor of the Kingdom of Landis in the port of Catania warmly received hundreds of officials from the empire and held a feast.

But what embarrasses the imperial officials was that the Landis acted like a hospitality master, but the more enthusiastic the Landis, the more ashamed the Empire officials were.

Because, they are simply standing on their own territory!

Standing on your own territory, but being treated as a guest, is really hard to describe.

The Landis people were very committed. After receiving warm hospitality, under the escort of the two thousand Landis Army, the team headed north and the borders of the small military districts of the two warlords passing along the way. The other party seemed to have no interest in causing trouble. They just kept the checkpoints strictly and watched the team pass through.

When the group finally arrived at the Besta Military Region, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that after passing the Besta Military Region, it is the territory controlled by the northern garrison general!

Compared to the kind hospitality received by the Landis, these imperial officials were treated coldly among the Besta.

The beautiful and charming wife of the governor in the legend did not even show her face. She just arranged for everyone to stay and sent a few low-level officials to receive them. There was no good wine and food, no dinner party, and there were not even a few servants in the place where they lived.

The Besta Military Region showed a very cold attitude.

Such treatment made many officials feel indignant!

After all, everyone is also an official appointed by the Central Committee of the Empire! In terms of level, several of them are high-ranking officials at the county magistrate level. Even when facing the wife of the governor, they are on an equal footing! The Besta people ignored them and only sent a few small officials as big as sesame seeds to receive them?!

This is too bullying!!

However, an unknown detail is: In fact, the beautiful wife of the governor Monica, who had privately told such a joke to her confidants around her when the team first entered the country.

"These people are the central officials of the Empire who went to the territory of Xia Ya in the north? Ha! Why don't we send people to kill all these guys directly? How about it? "

I believe that if this joke came to the ears of those dissatisfied officials, they would probably not be so angry.

The officials who had no idea that they had actually been in the gates of hell, soon set off again to head north.

The Bestas sent only one battalion soldiers to escort all the way - it was expected to be escorts, but rather escorts and surveillance.

When the team arrived at the border of the Bestas, the Bestas immediately turned around and left the guys on the border.

...

Finally arrived in the north! Finally arrived at the place where he took office! Finally arrived at the territory of the most powerful man in the north!!

Just when most people are immersed in excitement and excitement, with all kinds of uneasy and nervous emotions, they imagine the future in their hearts...

The people sent by the garrison district to welcome all the officials have finally arrived.

What shocked everyone was that... the team sent by the Northern Garrison was even more shabby than the team escorted by the Besta!

Although the Besta were indifferent, they at least sent a battalion to provide at least enough cars and horses.

And the Northern Garrison sent people to welcome all the officials...

Ten people!!

One of the young men was wearing an officer uniform from the Emperor's troop, but at first glance they were the one who managed the logistics.

The other soldiers around them all looked like they were laughing and looking lazy.

The young officer, under the gaze of hundreds of officials, finally put away the playful smile on his face, coughed a few times, and looked serious.

"My dear masters! I am I an adjutant of the Transport Department of the General Logistics Bureau of the Northern Garrison District." The young Irent tried his best to look serious, but his eyes were not very majestic.

For Irent, seeing so many senior officials of the empire was something I never dared to think about before.

You know, Erente was a real farmer lazy man. Later, by chance, he followed Shaya and became Shaya's servant. But at heart, this guy was still a small figure with a peasant cunning look.

I saw so many high-ranking officials who had never dared to think about before, and these guys were all looking at him pitifully, which made Irent feel a little proud.

But soon, he remembered his responsibilities. After coughing a few times, he shouted: "I will come to welcome you all by the order of the garrison commander. Please come with me. I will accompany you all the way to the new city of Siltan County Capital, where General Shay Leming will meet you and issue documents to take office one by one."

As he said that, Elent pointed to the distance of the road and made a gesture of "please go on the road".

...Everyone was shocked!!

Soon, a noise broke out in the crowd.

"Why did I send a small battalion deputy to welcome us!!"

"Yes! I am the consul!"

"I am the deputy county magistrate!!"
