Chapter 470 470. Marriage Issue
The Nilfgaard intelligence officer then reported.
"Sintra is the closest northern country to us"
"Huh, country? All the people in the north are just a group of uncivilized barbarians."
Waiting for Wa After Tire finished speaking, Duke Adal Aip Darcy let out a low sneer.
He has always looked down on the north. To be precise, the only people he can look up to are the 'pure Nilfgaardians'.
But then, Emhyr raised his eyes, and the sneer on the Duke's face gradually disappeared.
"Duke Darcy."
"I am here, Your Majesty."
In the emperor's raised eyes, the Duke lowered his noble golden head.
"We are discussing military operations. You discriminate against the North, you discriminate in your villa, you discriminate in front of your daughter, it doesn't matter, I don't care either. But as a military commander, I ask you not to underestimate your opponent because of discrimination .”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
The Duke’s bite muscles twitched under his facial skin.
"No, no problem, Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded and returned to the documents.
"Continue, Vatier."
The intelligence officer nodded calmly and continued his report.
“We just mentioned that Sintra is the closest northern country to us and the starting point of our conquest. Our troops are unstoppable, move quickly and are well-disciplined. Therefore, we For a long time at the beginning of the conquest, there was no need to consider the thoughts of Kaedwen and Aedirn."
"They were all on the east side of the North and blocked by the Mahakam Mountains, and they wanted to reach Cintra. The west is not simple, so the only thing we need to care about in the early stage is actually two countries."
Vatier held out two fingers, and they followed his name. Withdraw your fist.
"Temeria, Redania."
"The one that needs the most attention is Temeria. They are the closest to Cintra among the four northern kingdoms. At the same time, Foltes Te is also the ruler of the Soden region, which is extremely close to Sintra. He can easily use the threat to this place to intervene militarily in our operations in Sintra."
Another man who had been silent until now interrupted.
“If Foltest gets a legitimate reason to intervene militarily, that’s going to be very troublesome for us.” Fugard's general armor, the black full-body plate armor shines as if coated with a layer of glaze. The gold lines on the armor and the golden sun pattern with a human face on the chest are even more gorgeous and precious.
Menno Culhorn, an Imperial general who was loved and trusted by the Emperor. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor has not designated the command authority for this military operation, but all insiders are convinced that he must be on the candidate list.
"If Foltest has obtained a legal excuse to send troops"
The general said, carefully considering his words.
"Then it will be difficult for us to use low-cost and efficient means such as diplomacy and espionage to divide their internal forces and prevent him from gathering troops. Legality will become an undeniable factor for Foltest to integrate domestic forces. A good reason.”
“At that time, we will have to fight with real swords and guns. It will be really expensive, Your Majesty.”
In the eyes of those who initiated the war, the war was indeed just a social activity about "worthiness and worthlessness".
"That's why." Vatier then said calmly. "We just decided to send troops in the autumn."
Menno Kuhorn looked at the intelligence chief with confusion. The two of them had little communication before. Because they are in the military and intelligence agencies respectively, it is really too long to live together if they are often mixed together. They also have to avoid suspicion.
"Count Stetha of Temeria was killed by a witcher, as everyone should know. What we invested in him is now being used by Foltest Putting it in our mouths and chewing it makes us very passive, but a bad thing doesn’t necessarily turn into a good thing.”
Vatier showed a slightly smug smile.
“One of my informants is expected to become Baron Clore’s confidant by the end of the summer.”
“Kroll?” Adal Aip D’Arcy recalled Looking at this name, "I remember that he was under Stesa?"
"Yes, apart from Foltest, Baron Clore inherited Stesa's largest inheritance. Handicraft workers Farms, manors, mills, company shares, technology patents and so on. And under our protection, his king can't catch him, so there is no excuse to attack him."
< br>Vatier spread his hands.
"But in late summer, I will give my informant vital and irrefutable evidence that Baron Clore has been involved with us for a long time and has committed treasonous acts. And the informant will Will offer belated loyalty to his king."
"Foltest will chew up this evidence and swallow it like a hungry mad dog. The cruel process may last from late summer to winter. After all, the piece of meat is not small.”
“But at the same time, the mad dog with the meat in its mouth cannot bite it for the time being. Human."
Vatier smiled, as if there was a mad dog in front of him with meat in its mouth and wanting to bite people.
No threat, just a joke.
"Well done, everyone." After a brief silence, the emperor behind the desk nodded. "Just follow this schedule and inform the Senate. Those old guys won't say 'no'. Let's adjourn the meeting."
The three people went out from the emperor's office one by one, followed by Chirac, the palace manager. Deura Treffen Broni walked in, then came out alone.
The beautiful woman left inside is the wife of Count Broni. She is plump and slim, with lovely blond hair.
Also the third mistress of Emperor Emhyr.
The three people who came out knew from this that this meeting made the emperor feel good and wanted to relax.
"What a pity."
The three of them walked towards the outside of the palace. Adal Aip Darcy made a joking sound as he walked.
“Your Majesty is still releasing his precious energy on his mistress, rather than actually marrying a noble girl who is worthy of him and giving birth to an heir of noble blood.”
The two people next to them had cold faces, not wanting to get involved in this topic.
Neither of them are old-school nobles, and the emperor's marriage has nothing to do with them.
But they knew very well that many people, including Duke Adal Aip Darcy, were already dissatisfied with the emperor.
The marriage between the Nilfgaardian Emperor and an ancient noble woman is a sacred tradition in the Empire.
It is nothing to satisfy your desires on your mistress. But the emperor did not express his intention to marry, which was a problem.
Menno Kuhorn and Vatier left immediately after this topic, showing their attitude of not wading into muddy waters and focusing on work.
Adal Aip Darcy looked at the hurried backs of the two people and showed a condescending smile.
Perhaps in his eyes, these upstarts were somewhat self-aware in avoiding the issue of the emperor's marriage.
