Chapter 841: Chapter 441 Terrifying Inner Three Incarnations

The general from Bavaria said to Ivita, "Your Highness Ivita, perhaps our Bavaria Duchy will be the first friend you have in the Empire."

Ivita blinked.

The choice of words was interesting, friend instead of ally.

This allowed for much greater flexibility in choices.

Ivita nodded his head, marking the end of this meeting.

After all the foreigners had left in twos and threes, Ivita had the servants organize the study’s international documents, investigating information about the Bavaria Duchy and Holy Brittany Duchy.

Soon a dossier was set before him detailing the past history of Bavaria, and Ivita understood why the Bavarian general had taken interest in his sudden proposal.

The Bavaria Duchy had been fragmented for hundreds of years and was still fracturing, which was also the case for most of the duchies within the Holy Empire, possibly by the deliberate design of the Emperor and the kings.

The sons of the dukes of the duchies, each desiring a share of the territory and titles, led to their fragmentation through the successive enfeoffments of their offspring under the inheritance law prevalent in the duchies within the Empire.

The Bavaria Duchy was a typical example.

The entire duchy had split into two marquisates and three earldoms, along with a duchy that nominally inherited the title of Marquis and an Imperial Parliament seat.

As a result, the Bavaria Duchy was always in a state of weakness.

More egregiously, the past emperors of the Holy Empire had always, for some reasons, been distracted and unable to focus their attention on the Bavaria Duchy, yet Emperor Oyo III, having ascended the throne, relinquished excessive territorial claims.

This, in turn, allowed Oyo III to focus all his attention on what he already possessed.

For example, wooing the branches of the Bavarian family to gradually consume the land of Bavaria Duchy.

As Ivita looked at the documents on the desk, he thought, "No wonder they responded immediately when I spoke like that; it seems they have been enduring Oyo III for a long time."

The other party, being shrewd, probably realized that if he wanted to reclaim Alsace Kingdom, the Emperor would intervene to prevent his actions.

Having understood this, Ivita knew that Bavaria Duchy would likely become his ally in the future.

However, the country’s internal problems were significant, with severe internal divisions, meaning any help it could offer him was very limited. But on the map, the Bavaria Duchy was located to the northwest of the Emperor’s direct imperial territories.

This meant that if Bavaria stood with him, it could tie down the forces of the Imperial Emperor.

"The four ultimate magic potions have been concocted," Ivita thought. "Next are the Purple God Potion and the Truth Potion."

"Also, there are three ingredients to be extracted from my heart. The soul material can be obtained through the Secret Treasure Mirror acquired from Ambros."

"What I still lack is the Ancestral Spirit from the tomb of Alsace Kingdom," Ivita thought.

"If I could become the Witch Marquis before the formal declaration of war, that would be of great help to me."

After all, the opposition constituted both the Imperial Emperor and the Kingdom of Alsace.

Ivita had never directly battled the kings before.

It was hard to say how profound their capabilities were or how many trump cards the Emperor would bring out.

And when it came to entities as spiritually powerful as the Empire, his own abilities, along with those of the Hearthstone Witch, the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect, and even the divination methods of the King of the Ancient Tomb, would all lose effectiveness.

Ivita stood up, and the Eye of the Demon on his forehead opened. He used the Eye of the Demon to observe the powerful yet chaotic spiritual presence far to the north in the Empire.

Now the entire Empire resembled a massive zombie, fallen to the ground, seemingly easy for anyone to trample upon, yet this zombie might suddenly roll over and strike you with the force of a thunderbolt at any moment.

...

For the next three days, Ivita was busy managing internal affairs within Viscount Ambrose Country, repopulating, repairing the city walls, and rebuilding public structures...

It was like the calm before the storm.

Although nothing seemed to have changed, everything had changed.

A massive storm was silently brewing across Magic Black Forest and even the spies from heretic countries across the sea registered that a kingdom-level upheaval was imminent.

This upheaval was something Magic Black Forest had not experienced for a long time.

Over these three days, Ivita received responses from The Three Republics because they were the closest to Ambros.

They were also the most concerned about the situation in Ambros.

However, although that was the case, forming an alliance was not something that could be achieved in a day, and Ivita knew that a lengthy diplomatic process lay ahead.

This diplomacy could lead to an alliance with The Three Republics or it could all turn into nothing.

Luckily, he had capable diplomatic talents at hand, Tartax.

He could help Ivita connect with the three republics, though it meant hard work for him, taking care of everything.

However, Ivita allowed him to form his own diplomatic team, with expenses directly reimbursed by the national treasury without any limits.

By the fourth day, responses had come from both the Bavaria Duchy and Holy Brittany...

Ivita temporarily hired two diplomats to handle communications with these two countries.
