Chapter 986: Chapter 505 Temporarily Stop Reading, I Need to Make Some Edits_2

It was only because the Magic Black Forest level was too high and every grass and tree within it was extremely precious, that it didn’t seem so formidable. But had it been in the Great Void, the mere shock to the universal Law would likely lead to the destruction and heat death of several universes.

However, in the end, the Emperor had lost to himself. Ivita had only a moment of worry before he smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, you should go back to check on the Imperial Parliament."

"There’s a good show waiting for you there."

When Emperor Aoyue III thought of the Imperial Parliament, he rolled his eyes, and then, as if he thought of something amusing, he said to Ivan, "I’ve heard that Lord Ivita is going to negotiate with the King of the Kingdom of Frank. But as your elder, I must remind you,"

"This negotiation may not be as effective as you think."

"According to the intelligence I have, the King of the Frankish people didn’t just continue the conflict during the negotiation, but even bribed the speaker of the Noble Parliament of the United Kingdom. Despite the King of the United Kingdom wanting to favor you, in reality, several of the main nobles from the United Kingdom will side with the Kingdom of Frank."

"Should you make one false move, you might have yet another country declaring war on you."

Ivita narrowed his eyes.

The United Kingdom was different from the Kingdom of Frank.

That kingdom was a typical aristocratic monarchy, where the King and nobles shared governance of the country, and the parliament’s status was greatly elevated but still below that of the King’s Right.

The King restricted the nobles from acting recklessly, and similarly, the parliament consisting of nobles also restricted the King’s reckless actions.

In some ways, it was the most lenient and free system at the present time.

Therefore, Ivita understood that if several of the key nobles from the United Kingdom participating in the negotiations had been bought by the Frankish people, it would bring quite the trouble for himself.

But there was no need to be too nervous.

The rights of the nobles of the United Kingdom were also limited by the parliament.

Ivita said to Emperor Aoyue III, "Then, it has nothing to do with you, Your Majesty."

"You have suppressed the rebellion in the Duchy of Huss, but ideas are unstoppable; the more you oppress, the more people’s thoughts will rebel."

"This Huss reform is just the beginning."

"I’ve heard that in the nations neighboring the Iron Crown, there have already been many opinions contrary to the orthodox beliefs. Perhaps, Your Majesty, you should manage that too? After all, you have quite the reach."

"Lord Ivita’s words have merit. I’ll take them into account. Goodbye then," said Emperor Aoyue III, who didn’t want to argue with Ivita and quickly ordered his troops to retreat.

In the sky above, Ivita watched the Emperor’s retreating troops, wanting to chase after them a few times to cause more destruction, but after some thought, he decided against it.

Now, the Emperor’s army was highly vigilant, and he might not find another chance.

Secondly, it was now time to let the Empire’s troops retreat for a while, as he needed to deal with matters concerning the Kingdom of Frank.

Elsewhere, within the Emperor’s troops, Emperor Aoyue III turned to Duke Gugel beside him and said, "I knew it, letting those of the Alsace line return would only cause trouble."

"Once trouble arises, people’s hearts will change."

"When people’s hearts change, everything changes."

"Especially Ivita, I cannot see through him, and his Magical Power is so strong. It makes me worried."

Duke Gugel, mounted on a new war elephant, was also feeling bitter, incessantly reflecting on the words Ivita had said to him. His heart wavered, and he doubted whether he had taken the wrong path.

At that thought, his mind became even more troubled, and his strength began to wane indeed.

Duke Gugel knew that Ivita had no real intention to instruct him, but rather, seeing that he was protected by the universal Law, aimed to crush his spirit before killing him.

Duke Gugel felt that whatever did not kill him would only make him stronger, but as he constantly tried to rebut what Ivita had said, doubt would surge in his mind at critical moments.

Duke Gugel said to Emperor Aoyue III, "In fact, I could lead a part of the army back to the Imperial Parliament."

"Your greatest enemy, I always feel, is Ivita."

Emperor Aoyue III shook his head: "It’s not like that."

"Inside the Imperial Parliament, there are all experienced schemers and sly foxes. They’re not good in battle, but they excel at irritating others. The thing is, in the Imperial Parliament, eloquence far surpasses martial prowess."

"You wouldn’t be able to hold them down if you went back."

"But indeed, Ivita cannot be ignored. I will immediately write a Golden Seal Edict, ordering Duke Haggel’s troops to attack the Alsace Kingdom. The reason being that the Kingdom of Alsace’s Monarch is accused of using witchcraft, desecrating the faith. If Duke Haggel refuses my command, it’s tantamount to treason and betrayal of The Church."

Duke Gugel shuddered.

Duke Haggel was a vassal inclined to their side, and upon receiving this order, he certainly would immediately mobilize his troops to attack the Alsace Kingdom.

Although most of the Emperor’s power had indeed been lost, the entire Holy Empire was not so much a single nation as it was a confederation of states, with the Emperor acting merely as the leader and protector of this alliance.

Yet, the Emperor still retained certain rights that distinguished him from ordinary monarchs.

For instance, his special privileges in church affairs, his special relationship with the Pope, and the ability to command all the vassal countries of the Empire in name.

Of course, whether they listened or not was a matter for each vassal country to decide.

They just had to pay a certain price.

The Emperor could still issue commands to some vassal countries that stood on his side.

...

After the Emperor’s army retreated for the second time, Ivita finally allowed the Fire Emperor Fort to gradually relax its vigilance. He provided rewards to the soldiers, allowing them to rest and recuperate, while also gradually extinguishing the flames in the large furnace, maintaining it at a low intensity.

If the temperature inside the large fire furnace was too high, it could affect the lifespan of the furnace.

One of the significant financial burdens of the Alsace Kingdom each year was the maintenance of the large fire furnaces within various fortresses.

After awarding rewards, Ivita and the Hearthstone Witch left the castle, returned to the Eastern Army Center, issued some policies, changed the direction of defense, and then headed for the capital.
