044 Night Banquet

As soon as King Charles left, the council hall immediately became noisy. Thinking that there might be a war, the bosses of the military departments were not as enthusiastic as before. If they fought against rebels and bandits, they would naturally go on an active expedition, but this time it was a matter of stabbing a hornet's nest. Maybe they may fight directly with other empires. In the face of a heavyweight opponent, from marshals to generals are very worried.

"Eccion Jody!" The frowned Marshal Fendi called Prime Minister Jody, who was ready to go home: "Regarding Wang's order, the military department still needs the support of the prime minister. I would like to visit your house in person tonight. Is it convenient for you?"

Prime Minister Jody sighed in his heart, but he promised with a smile on his face, "Of course, I will set up a banquet for you. Oh, call Marshal Putton. We are all old acquaintances. We haven't been drinking together for a long time."

All three of them are old ministers of the previous dynasty and the real mainstay of the Gran Empire. Prime Minister Jodi is 67 years old and is the eldest brother in charge of the government affairs of the empire. Marshal Fennandi is 62 years old and Marshal Putton is 61 years old, who is jointly responsible for the military affairs of the empire. Everyone has always had a very harmonious relationship with the court. This time, in the face of the almost unreasonable demands of the emperor, the pillars of the three countries will certainly discuss countermeasures together.

After the meeting, Marshal Fenandi immediately rushed back to the military headquarters and ordered the imperial staff to immediately analyze the situation around the empire. At the same time, he estimated how other empires would react if the empire took military aggression against the surrounding area.

When it was dark, Marshal Fenandi and Marshal Putton, who had been busy all day, sat in the carriage sent by the prime minister's mansion and went to the prime minister's palace for a banquet.

After the banquet was set up, Prime Minister Jody drove away the maid, and even the normal guard was asked to stay away. The next three people will discuss national events. If this news is revealed too early, it will inevitably cause a big storm.

"What do you think about Charles' proposal?" Jody is the eldest brother in terms of age, and he naturally doesn't have much concern about what Fenandi is talking about.

Fenandi took a sip of wine and frowned and said, "Who gave him this bad idea to open the territory? Ha ha, I didn't say that I dared to open the territory and split the soil that year!" Fenandi was talking about the 72nd kings. At that time, the mainland had a drought for two consecutive years, and the other three empires were greatly affected. Gran was located in the rainy south, but he was not affected much in those two years. But even so, the 72nd kings at that time did not dare to invade, and even generously avoid the surroundings. Tributes from affiliated countries to show kindness.

In fact, any emperor wants to be the only king of this continent, but everyone knows that it is not the troubled times of the Hastings era. As long as there is a slight sign of hegemony, other parliaments will not hesitate to unite to suppress it. Therefore, maintaining the status quo is the best development.

"It's not made by that Maddie," Jody is the prime minister. There is almost nothing he knows in the imperial city. Even in the situation of emperors and princesses, he has a way to understand: "After Charles ascended the throne, this Maddie has been encouraging him to make achievements, saying that only conquest can prove the strength of the king. What a good time for Charles to become famous and so on, which made Charles do such a thing as soon as he went abroad for mourning.

"Cut, I think he drank too much ecstasy soup!" Puton doesn't care about Charles. His hot temper is that when Charles was in the throne, Puton still said what he wanted to say: "I'm more active than anyone else in the war, but now I'm not sure about fighting with others. Although I'm belligerent, I will never joke about the lives of soldiers..."

"Yes..." After drinking the wine in the glass, Fei Nandi slowly filled himself up and said, "Our Gran has been in good weather for so many years, but other countries are not so lucky, but this also makes me worried about whether the combat effectiveness of our troops is still good. As far as I know, now from the Lebanese Empire The quality of the mercenaries who came here is quite good, which shows that the cold mountain people still maintain good combat effectiveness.

"I have also heard about this. I heard that those underground arenas no longer like our Glen's warriors. They are now recruiting more tough mountain warriors. It is said that these mountain warriors fought wildly and fiercely, and even a mountain warrior challenged two or three Gran warriors at the same time. Jody also knows the situation around him. As a prime minister, he is not only responsible for the internal affairs of the empire, but also cares about the situation of the surrounding countries.

"What are your plans for Charles' order?" Jody brought the topic back to the military meetings these days: "I don't think you will advocate war with others."

"Yes!" Fenandi nodded affirmatively and said, "Now we must have good relations with the surrounding powers, so I plan to deal with Charles with those insignificant subordinate countries..."

"A subordinate country that is not important?" Jody pondered for a moment and understood what Fernandi meant: "You mean the eighteen princes in the south?"

"It's the eighteen princes on the edge of the forbidden forest!" Fenandi said with a wry smile, "Now they are the only ones who are isolated. I want to propose that Charles directly open the south of the empire and directly cut the whole southern Cape into the territory of the empire..."

Gran is located in the south of the mainland, but it does not fully occupy the whole south of the mainland. Near the southernmost part of the mainland is a dense and extensive primitive jungle. It is a jungle with a fateful reputation. It is like a string of pearls between the jungle that has never been conquered by the people and the Gran Empire. There are 18 small countries, because these small princes claimed to be left over from the Hestin era, the mainland is used to call this series of small countries 18 princes. They submitted to the Gran Empire as early as the establishment of the Gran Empire, because the giant jungle is of no use to the Gran Empire at all. In addition, these small dependent countries have always been regular, so the Gran Empire has acquiesced in their existence for hundreds of years.

These small countries still maintain the handicraft art of the early Hastings era, so the works of art and exquisite ornaments they produce are high-end goods on the mainland, and these 18 vassal states have always been well-known on the mainland.

As soon as Fenandi mentioned the 18 vassal states, Jody became deep. The old prime minister pondered for a long time and finally asked Fenandai in a low voice, "You are not going to suggest Charles to destroy the 18 vassal states, are you?"

"It's also a fight, and 18 is also a fight. I think this time I will destroy them all and directly map the empire to the south bank of the mainland. Charles will definitely be satisfied..."

"No! Brother, you have to be careful about this!" Jody immediately pressed his hand down and motioned Ferdinand to suppress his voice. Puton was already a little drunk at this time, and he was still drinking wine cup after cup, and he didn't pay attention to what the eighteen princes Fennandy said.

Judi looked at the people left and right who were far away, and then whispered, "You can't move around these eighteen princes. If you really take them, you must stay!"

"Oh?" Fenandi, a soldier, only learned about the small forces in the south from the map. If he hadn't been forced by Charles, he wouldn't even know any eighteen princes in his life.

Seeing that Jody was so cautious, Fenandi picked up his glass and pulled the chair closer to Jody and whispered to him about the mysteries of the eighteen princes.

"Brother, do you remember the Hasting Empire that unified the continent?" Jody added some more wine to Fenandi's glass and began to chat slowly.

"Brother, you're kidding. Who doesn't know the Hasting Empire in this continent!"

"That's good, brother, listen to me, there is a small country called Hasting among these 18 princes!" Jody whispered almost close to Fenandi's ear, "And it is said that it is the inheritance of the Hasting Empire that unified the continent!"

"How could this happen?" Fenandi looked at Jody in surprise and asked, "Isn't Hasting been completely divided back then? According to the rules of the mainland, the failed royal family will be exiled! How can there be Hasting's inheritance?"
