00153 The Age of Tyrants

The static came between the generals.

They were capable nobles. In other words, they were the ones who trampled the competition and survived. It was not uncommon for someone to secretly kill their family in order to inherit their rightful title.

How many times did Elizabeth become the emperor? The stability of the Empire or the life of my brother. There was no reason to worry. It is a sin to kill a young man. However, the nobles did not fear sin. I was afraid to make excuses for my sin.

I make no excuses. He speeds towards power. It is the only life that has suffered so much defeat in the process, and has fallen so unbearably. Bear it if you cannot avoid it. That's what they thought.

So did Elizabeth von Habsburg.

“Why did I confess to the league? You must be wondering. I declare here that she will continue to be a tyrant. ”

She looks straight ahead, her eyes sank to the ground.

“Our Habsburg Imperial forces wipe out the capital. However, it is not the main girl who ordered the erasure. Emperor High.”

“Your Majesty...? The king has given you this plan. ”

Baron Wittenmeyer frowns.

The princess shakes her head.

“I don't think so. Everything is her monopoly. Tonight, I lead the SS and raid the Imperial Palace. Avama is already abolished. Simply accept status. As such, it forges the order. ”

“Fake!”

The baron takes a deep breath. And so were the other chieftains.

“It's not just Avamar. The second prince, Ferdinand, also takes full control of his brother. The emperor ordered the capital to be burned and the second emperor executed it. At that time, Maine will protest that she must defend the capital....... Of course, she is a good woman who does not disobey her father. ”

Elizabeth snorts.

“We must defend the pride of the Empire. We must defend our people, but we are void." Elizabeth von Habsburg shed tears and eventually followed the orders of his father the emperor. However, the Queen Dowager herself will issue two complaints. ”

“…… You mean to turn the people's wrath into an imperial one? ”

Bittenmeyer asks, "He couldn't hide the tremor in his voice." But no one pointed it out. All longevity, including Kurzschleigh Maher, felt the same.

The princess said.

“Plunder the wealthy commoners. Plunder the Merchant Guild. Search the Yellow Hills.... But the chieftains gathered here secretly return the goods gathered like that to the people. ”

“That is… between an unknown noble and an officer plundering…… we, the Queen Dowager's servants take over the people……. ”

“Yes.”

The barracks were static. It was the same as before in that no one opens their mouth. However, if the previous static had sank into the barracks, this would have swept through the barracks. It was the core of the storm.

“But, Your Highness. Then we will abandon you and the Crown Prince. ”

Wittenmeyer cautiously announced.

“Shake hands at the imperial majesty. ”

“The Mainlander said, I'm going to continue to be a part of the family. ”

I thought Kurz Schleierma was listening to the two of you. I forge an imperial decree. In addition, I blame the Emperor for his sins. It was already a great family. The princess said she would go further here and regroup. What is it?

“Immediately after deserting the capital and retreating, the Maine slaughters the Crown Princess. ”

“ ……! ”

“Mind your own business. Those who disobey God should be punished with punishment. I, Elizabeth von Habsburg, punish my second brother, no sinner Ferdinand von Habsburg, on behalf of heaven. ”

The palms of Kurzschleigh's hands were sweaty. Are you crazy? Kurz wanted to scream out loud. You still suffer for killing your brothers as a child.

Kurz, the princess's secret peacekeeper and sidekick, knew. The princess has nightmares every night. Sometimes I hear groaning beyond the tent. Robert. I'm sorry, Robert...... That's what I usually say. In a situation like that, you're going to kill your biological mother again.

‘It will be destroyed, Lord. ’

The Queen Dowager's heart dies. I can't stand the flesh. If it weren't for the third-grade prosecutor who writes error, she would have been utterly overlooked. No matter how much she resolved to become a monster of an age, she couldn't help it. Even if it appears to be fine, it will slowly corrode from the inside, as if the temple could not endure time had fallen to dust.

The princess's words are not yet finished.

“Then, they threaten the Emperor and take his place. ”

“Forcibly adopt……. ”

It was about regrouping the family.

“Shortly thereafter, we raise our voices in the gathering of refugees in the capital. The Habsburg Empire, which has been here for 500 years, was destroyed, and a new Habsburg Republic was born. ”

Habsburg, New Republic.

The longevity in the words distorts their faces. Just now, no one else, but the Supreme Leader of the Empire, said he would end the empire on his own. He shouted that he would cut off his great and glorious vein.

"But the Republic. What's in it for you! ’

Kurz screams in his heart. Expand the Qingdae tactic. Throw it into the capital. It is the political gain to exterminate the Crown Prince and inherit the Crown Prince, but is it worth the crown so far?

“Your Majesty, I am reckless! It is too burdensome. ”

“Republics. There's no reason to build a republic with an empire's history behind it!" ”

“Notify me!”

The barracks became a mess like beehives. Please reconsider. I don't know what that means. It is better to die fiercely, defending the pride of the Empire. Longevity workers shouted in earnest.

Kurz desperately thought in the midst of the commotion.

It was the Queen Dowager's plan. Though he looked reckless, his insides would be darker than anyone else's. I thought about what it was.

‘Since the capital is no longer in existence, administrative and economic power is declining by a fraction. Even though we're barely mindful, it doesn't matter if the power itself falls into the abyss. ’

Moreover, the state troops personally carry scars that cannot be washed away for life…… What are the benefits of an operation to eradicate the system…. Reason for establishing the Republic, despite the overwhelming burden…….. that will spread to worse things between the other kingdoms…….

"Wait-- foreigners? ’

At that moment, the current paralyzed Kurz's mind.

“There...! Yes, the benefits of abandoning the capital and declaring the Republic are…… tremendous……! ”

Kurzschleigh couldn't control his own mouth. A horse popped out with a mild malignancy on its own. The gaze of the shepherds was drawn to Kurz. Without even noticing the gaze, the young blonde commander rushed up.

“First, it can be shared simultaneously with the public…… The anxiety of the public mind stems from the expulsion of the Qingqing operation and the capital, and the anxiety of the military mind stems from the thoughts of the cursed Demon King. Punishing the Crown Prince and building the new Republic at the same time…… Then, the public mind and conscience will support the Crown Princess at once. ”

“General Schlairmacher, it's not the mood. ”

Baron Wittenmeyer disagrees. He was excited, too.

“The country's administration and economy is collapsing immediately. ”

“Administration…… indeed, administration may be a bit of a problem…… but administration and economics can have a telephone compromise! ”

“Phone comfort, what are you talking about……. ”

“Think about it, Baron Vitemier. ”

Kurz said, excitedly.

“The reason the Demon Prince was able to dominate our human army today is because, above all, they had a cause. that we broke our justification for defending humanity, and that we were the true liberators of humanity. But what if we declare Habsburg a republic? The Demon Lord cannot enter! Even if they do break in, it's an understatement that their cause is nothing but a pretense. ”

“…… It's hard to see the Demon Kings tied to a cause. The situation is still disadvantage to us. ”

“The Demon Lord suffers from the same severe food shortages as we do. ”

Joy spread in Kurz's mouth.

“The Demon Lord's troops are divided into troops because they cannot maintain the troops as a group. And yet, they are rushing towards our capital...... Why do they march when there is not enough food? Only one. To replenish our food supply by capturing the capital. But we abandoned the capital... … The enemy can't supply us with food... … They won't be able to chase us anymore! ”

The Qingdae tactics that have spread Hell over the past few months have illuminated.

“The Demon Lord will have to retreat. If we die fiercely and devote our body to them as a lump of meat, it will only benefit them. We have to abandon the capital. ”

“General Schlairmacher, you haven't answered my question yet. What about the administration and economy of the empire? ”

Kurz smiles. There was even some madness in it.

“Still don't know, Baron. We, Habsburg, by becoming a republic, will stop the Demon Lord's army. In other words, the emerging Habsburg Republic is a barrier to humanity against the Horses. ”

“ ……! ”

“The current kingdoms are overwhelmed by their failure to stop the Moon Blitz. At this point, we Habsburg will become the Republic and take away the Crown Prince's cause…… to stop attacking…… the nations will have no choice but to acknowledge the need for the Habsburg Republic. ”

Baron Wittenmeyer thumps and stands up. He opens his eyes and mouth wide.

“Yes. Can I get some help?" ”

Kurz nods.

“Exactly. We, Habsburg, are in the middle of the continent. If we perish, the rest of the continent collapses. If you do not wish to face the Demon King, if you wish to defend the Dynasty, acknowledge the existence of our Republic and support it indefinitely. ”

“Legitimate intimidation… takes advantage of drainage……. ”

Baron Wittenmeyer groans. By this time, the other generals had slowly learned of the operation. They joined the ranks of excitement. It was just as the princess had said.

Baron Wittenmeyer pointed out three drawbacks: People's Ivan, the destruction of governance and economies, and finally, humanity's cause is gone. However, if things go according to Princess Elizabeth's plan, all three disadvantages will be overcome.

The mind recovers. The mind also recovers. Administration and economics overcome with unlimited foreign aid, and finally, the Habsburg Republic not only protects humanity's cause - the shield of humanity, the very cause of humanity itself.

Nationals on the continent cannot accept that the empire has been turned into a republic. It's possible now. In fact, nations are looking forward to it. In order to prevent the Lunar Army from advancing, one royal family desperately wants the kings of the nations to sacrifice.

People. Nobles. Royalty.

Humankind will truly bless the birth of the new Habsburg Republic.

Kurzschlairmaza turns his head. Even the jaws shivered with the princess.

‘Since when?'

When did this start?

When was Prince Rudolph captured in Austerlitz? Were you defeated in the Bruno speech? When did you leave the Queen of Brittany? How...... Since when did you decide to abandon the capital and build a new country? ’

Her eyes glow like Sapphire.

“Fool! That's it! ”

She bursts into flames. A seventeen-year-old girl winces at you.

“From now on, the chiefs will not only be one general in Habsburg, but a warrior protecting humanity on the front lines. If we fall, the nations fall. What we lose is what humanity loses. - Are you aware of that responsibility? ”

The princess walked forward one step.

“We are no longer tolerated for division. From the heavenly people to the royal people, from soldiers to merchants to peasants, every human being must unite to form a country. It's the new Habsburg Republic. This is the identity of the nation that will become our nation! ”

She pulls out a longsword from her waist. The Longsword shines with silver as much as her head.

“We slay Prince Ferdinand and the heretics who have devoured the empire for centuries now. There is no one exception. Eliminate corruption. Show it to the people. It's worth committing your life to this country. ”

The princess Elizabeth looks at the eyes of one of the generals sitting around the table.

“If you kill the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince, you will enter that vacancy. From now on, you will be the real masters of this country. You are skilled, and with you is a compassion to support your skills. We watch the plunder of the capital for it. Return the plunder to the people. ”

I control everything from behind. Act more noble in front of you. By lying, we save mankind. The demons who spread out Hell become the guardians of heaven. ― ― Kurz Schleiermacher shuddered at the paradox.

The princess declared.

“Today. From this moment forward, we deceive all mankind and all history. ”
