Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 15: Imperial Unrest Senate Chapter (Part 2)

In the prospect of Sir Lucilius, nobility and the military turn in opposition to the proposed appointment of Deputy Emperor Julianus.

In order for the military to retain their command, the vice emperor, who has strong military powers, has always wanted to remain vacant if he could, and has repeatedly done so.

They don't like to be held hostage to their dictatorship, the military.

If we go there in due course, Julianus' appointment as deputy emperor will be prevented.

Even more at this time I can't figure out why the emperor made such an unscrupulous statement, but I can't believe that the emperor today can be a threat.

For there is no clear “emperor" in the House of Lords.

I could not reconcile myself with the central officials on this matter, but they alone still do not reach a majority.

Lucillius exchanged his eyes with Tarnius, who had taken his seat, and when he included and laughed, he decided to listen softly to the voice that would adopt the elder's decision.

"Those in favor of His Highness Julianus' appointment as Vice Emperor shall rise, but be good"

Zaza

"Hey, what!?

Sir Lucillius' eyes open with amazement when he sees behind the unexpected sound of the clothes rubbing.

Central officials, the military, and some of the nobles were turning in favor.

The aristocracy that stands is the moderates and the citizens who are close to the elders.

Until now, although the forces were small and it was only confrontation from a policy point of view and relationships, even the tables rarely came against aristocratic nobility, but it is just a rebellion to come here.

This will reach a majority and the emperor's personnel will pass and Julianus will be entrusted to the deputy emperor.

"The military really...!

Commander-in-Chief Scipius has asked me to express my support for helping Operation South, and to oppose any obstruction.

Block Sir Lucillius' words, says Longs.

Lucillius blushes his lips by accident.

And I glance at the nobles who have expressed their agreement, but they did not seek to turn a blind eye to Sir Lucilius.

"Then I leave His Highness Julianus to the Vice Emperor by a majority in favor"

"Ma'am, wait, you should have to get ex-post approval from a military head who's not in the debate!

"So... how about a provisional approval?"

"Heh, Your Majesty...!

It was the emperor Magnus himself who made this resolution that responded to Sir Lucilius's cry.

If he had been an emperor until now, there would have been no debates or senate meetings during his absence from the military.

That bias led to a rebellion in the military, fearing a breakdown in the balance between the three factions, but it should have been a late act, but we should have noticed sooner about saying that this Senate convocation, which even broke that premise, was strange.

This is a trap.

The Emperor is fighting back against our tyranny.

"If it's provisional approval, it's problematic."

"... Grrr!

Sir Lucillius, who was no longer able to oppose the words of the Emperor, looked down with his lips clenched.

Later, Sir Lucilius Mansion, Teito Central District

An unexpected miscalculation in the Senate.

Lord Lucilius wrote to keep in touch with the noble nobles from all over, drinking the finest wines he had collected from the territory, so he also reads letters full of opinions and information received from all over.

It naturally includes some of the content that is not interesting, but we cannot overcome this dilemma unless we have a good grasp of that information.

Not to mention that now the Emperor is going to be an enemy, even if it's not a table.

In doing so, I found a letter of concern.

The contents are that the name of Hal Akircius, the border guardian who defeated the Halemians in the north by the time they were completely skinless, is so empty that there is no one lined up in the northern border, and his power is blowing not only to the northern border, but also to the empires and Shirukhas, and at the end to Western countries and eastern photographs.

Sir Lucilius finishes reading a report describing the victory of the Cilentium army received from the arms dealers who are putting it in Cilentium and its economic development.

Written in badly distorted letters, it was difficult to read, and at the end of the day it was accompanied by a sentence apologizing for the loss of control and the fact that it had become a bad pen.

Sir Lucillius, when he finishes his last reading of the other unbeloved texts, squeezes the report as it is.

"I don't care... I'm a good arms dealer, but it's not even interesting to report on the success of the city that he governs that put his son in great shame... dude"

………

Before Sir Lucilius looked back with his voice was a man kneeling, wearing a hood truly deep.

I don't see that face in the hood and I don't know any gender age.

Sir Lucilius carried on his words as if in a hurry to the person who was looking down without uttering a word.

"What's going on? I thought you were ordered to pay a high price to discourage the development of that city, could you do it at all?

"... that's who the spies and assassins who went to that city are not coming back... and now they're afraid of it as a spy killing city in our union, and few of them go first."

Sir Lucilius threw up without even trying to contain frustration at the content of the words uttered by a strange crouching voice that could be taken by both men and women, young or old.

"What? You don't think that'll do it, do you?

"... of course... there are not many applicants, so we're turning them around."

"Then it's good, okay, it's bound to inhibit the growth of that city, or you're going to risk getting your feet pulled off even if you start a riot here! It only makes no sense if you get the empire intact, it only takes money and time for civil unrest, and it doesn't taste good."

The person replied with few words to Sir Lucilius, who said irritably.

"... I understand, then... His Highness Julianus, who was missing..."

"What's wrong with the odd guy, where were you?

Stop the liquor cup Sir Lucillius put on his mouth and raise his eyebrows.

"Until then, we couldn't find the same location, but we headed to the Imperial Harbor."

"... the belly that holds the navy..."

Sir Lucillius, who discerned Julianus' intentions in the news, inclined his drink with laughter.

The person tells Sir Lucilius.

"Probably... but it won't be worth it. Now the Imperial Navy is boned at the hands of Master Lucillius…"

Sir Lucillius' high laughter echoes in the room.

Sir Lucilius bribes the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and, after obtaining information about operational waters and methods of warfare, distributes that information to clandestine trading vessels and pirates.

Sir Lucilius had also succeeded in weakening the fleet after commissioning the Admiral to disperse it and reduce the naval force.

The dispersed naval fleet has been placed at an overwhelming disadvantage that, if poorly done, would have to be dealt with on a handful of ships over the clandestine trade fleet and the pirates, whose warfare and morale have fallen to the ground.

And the poor behaviour of such soldiers was also a problem.

Navy soldiers have had fights, problems, and scandals in military port placement cities everywhere, and now the Imperial Navy is an unreliable group of snubbers, even within the Empire, who have lost their former pride.

There is no reason to exercise decent control because they are such unscrupulous people, the security of maritime trading routes is getting worse and now the Setria Inland Sea is in a state of disorder.

Until now, however, the Imperial Army on land has been solid, so it has not even been able to raid or plunder cities on land or the Empire itself.

But it also collapsed as a result of the invasion of the South.

Legions have been pulled out and weakened, and holes in the defense system have led to a gradual increase in pillaging and city raids by pirates.

A party of Sir Lucilius, who dares to create such a situation and make money with a state of poppy in his wet hands, is starting to make far more enormous profits at sea, such as tax revenues rising from his possession, and has now gained by means behind him the property of no one in line with the Empire.

Of course, Sir Lucilius himself has dyed his hands deeply in the dense trade, but other than that, he had collected dozens of percent of its sales and looting from those involved in the dense trade and pirates as informational fees, and he missed even more enormous fortunes.

Naturally, it was the good shippers and merchants who were buying goods from them, and soaring food and household goods that hit the lives of ordinary people directly.

There Sir Lucilius sells goods brought in in in in a tight trade at high prices, devouring the profits in double triplicate.

The wealth is stored in Sir Lucilius's mansion and is used exclusively for the planning of the overthrow of the Empire.

"Damn, I don't think Julianus and Admiral Navy are on our side. We don't control pirates and trade without information… but we don't mean to keep an eye on the Navy, keep watching."

"Just like I said..."

"The vice emperor's inauguration has been passed by a showdown... dammit, you abominable elders!

There is no reason to be afraid, such as Julianus, who is not in any position, even in the royal family.

It should have been just His Royal Highness the Weird without authority either, but earlier in the Senate the Emperor announced the appointment of Julianus as deputy emperor, and the situation changed.

Presbyterians, also known as citizens by the central authorities and nobles, turned to support them, and in the House of Presbyterians, which was out of balance due to the absence of a single head of the Imperial Army, the aristocratic nobility unexpectedly became a minority.

He managed to fall into the form of provisional approval on the grounds of the absence of the head of the army, but the Senate admitted Julianus' appointment as deputy emperor, in his absence.

It was Sir Lucilius and his men who panicked about the emperors' and other unparalleled methods that had so far governed under the agreement of the three factions, but the decision was not overshadowed.

"I don't think there's any need to worry... Well, this time they did it, but you know the rest of your life, but no matter how much you thank Emperor Hu, our grief will soon be fulfilled..."

The aristocracy and emperor who once founded the empire together, at times its identity disparities have widened, and now a large insurmountable identity wall has been created for the royal family and nobility.

But it's not.

Once chosen from among the nobles, they became consuls, kings, and emperors.

Not only the royal family, but also the nobility, can have the supreme power of this country, the opportunity to do so, the resurrection of old times, which is what the Lucilius family should aspire to be an empire.

For that, pirates, foreign countries, demons, but if it's in your interest, let's join hands.

"Do I have to discuss this with Siluha often to speed up the period..."

Sir Lucillius carried the wine into his mouth when he crushed it like that and drank it all at once.

Teito Military Port, Naval Governor's Office

"Waha, all of a sudden I wonder what you're going to say... that you're going to neck the eagle?

"Yes."

"Ha ha, with a good deputy emperor, but suddenly for no reason. That's impossible, there's a procedure."

To Julianus' words, Senior Admiral Wiorens rocks his swollen belly and laughs heavily.

But Julianus inherited the word with an angry but spare look.

"And it's not impossible to say, because the Vice Emperor has superior military command."

"... what's wrong with that, for no reason, seriously letting me quit?

Julianus shook his neck left and right to Admiral Wiorens, who stopped laughing heavily at his words and raised his eyebrows tingly.

"You think that's all you need? I hear you've been bribed quite extensively."

"... hey, based on what..."

As he blocked the wiolence he sought to proclaim, Julianus clasped a bunch of paper down on the desk in front of him.

Violence's body trembles into small pieces as she reads through the contents with both hands.

"After all this research, unfortunately, there was no connection between you and the noblemen, but your relationship with pirates and clandestine trading ships could be proven, you're an execution."

Looking in the direction of a cold voice descending, there was a harsh look on Julianus's face.

Thought he'd thought of it as the earliest he'd ever seen, Wiolens tears away the paper he had in his hand and pays off the bundle of paper on his desk with his arms.

"Ku...... Guards!

And call in the guards as they pull out their hips daggers.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"Shut up! A man named Julianus, the deputy emperor, didn't come here, he must have been attacked by bandits on the way and died."

"That's what I'm gonna say… well, nothing else, but you're too naive."

There was total leeway out of Wiorense, who cringed his face and yelled at Julianus as he spoke out loud but spread his hands calmly.

"Shut up!! Guards! Kill this man. Eh!!

"Guards, arrest the incompetence there"

Julianus quietly gives the order, even as he faces the voice of Wiolence, who yelled at himself.

Copy that.

"Become?"

Immediately upon Julianus' order, the guards moved. When they took the dagger lightly from Wiorense, they restrained its body.

"Unfortunately, you're no longer on your side, and that's a reward for making too many fools of proud Navy soldiers."

"Ku, I forgot what you guys owe me! Hey, what's up? I would have made you feel scattered!!

To the pitiful words of Julianus, Wiorense repeats his last ascension, and calls on the guards of the naval soldiers who are holding him, but instead of having a reaction, he is beaten in the face with a bad hand.

"Ahi? Hey, do what... phew? Ooh."

Julianus now gives a surprise look to Wiorense, who screams in the face and stomach every time he tries to utter words.

"Hmm?... If you don't think it's weird, then yes, you, you don't even remember the faces of your closest men... your children's pigs are one step ahead in the world for crimes of bribery, assault and injury, coercive molestation, and defamation of the reputation of official officials. You die, too... take him."

By order of Julianus, Wiolence, who was being punched in the face by a spill, is forced to stand and be taken.

"Hii... Gu Hii"

And every time he tried to open his mouth something, he was relentlessly kicked in the back, and Julianus skewed his face into the figure of Wiolence, who was fisted into his belly.

"... you resented him so much, well you deserved it..."

Julianus had been watching the Navy ever since.

Unlike the Army, there are no factions, and the Navy, in a climate of proportional freedom, is a discreet presence within the Imperial Army and has not been able to form a faction.

Still, my body as an army organization is a splendid one that suits the length of the empire, and I have enough power to control the Setria Inland Sea and surrounding waters, even from the number of ships and soldiers.

Julianus was first in touch to take control of the Navy when he once dived into the Navy and exorcised the pirates.

It was their comrades who made it through the fierce battle that Julianus laid in the cauldron of the men of the Wiorens who had eliminated them.

Having first contacted them just before boarding the military port, Julianus took over the naval headquarters at once in a manner close to the coup d 'état, poking through the saggy naval wind discipline and security gaps, when he was contacted by the emperor that approval had been obtained for his appointment as deputy emperor in the House of Lords.

Initially, he had one of his fleet commanders in a cauldron, himself Julianus, who was contemplating commanding the navy from behind, but a message from Emperor Magnus made that policy change.

Temporarily speaking, if you are a deputy emperor, you can activate military command.

"Well, you were still motivated... well, I don't know if it's temporary, but the deputy emperor is the deputy emperor, and I don't mind where he commanded the navy, let's make the most of it."

Julianus, who burned the letter and obliterated the evidence relating to his relationship with Magnus, saw Violence enter the office, where she had gone to work without knowing anything.

Normalisation by similar Julianus factions should have been exchanged at naval bases everywhere by now.

After a while, communications came in from fleet commands and naval bases everywhere with transmission stones.

There's just one word there, success, letters of.

Upon confirmation that the entire fleet was in possession, Julianus rose out of his chair.

Julianus was in the process of correcting and purifying the naval soldiers, planning a massive training and piracy crusade to motivate the naval soldiers who were losing their will.

Fishing quickly for Wiorense's desk, Julianus skewed his face again after finding a fleet placement table and glancing at it.

"What the hell... was he in such a messed up placement... a fool of the truth, or was there any intention...?

The fleet arrangement on the placement table is messed up, and not only are important routes taken off, but some fleets are distributed in several units and anchored in unimportant fishing villages.

I had some idea, but I didn't know it was so bad...

"Get the fleet to the military harbour where we now say, eastern waters are Libya, western waters are Peron, and capital security and guerrilla fleets are Imperial Harbour. It doesn't matter if it's a transmission stone, so hurry up. It's not particularly troublesome information. The admiral who appoints it will follow."

Copy that, sir.

Confirming that a naval soldier had left, Julianus slowly lowered his back to the chair.

"Well, I can't help but do it from what I can… the first stage is success, but the future is hard"
