The witch thought I am a Demon God

After completing the true solar universe, Ivita left the depths of the star realm, returned to the tomb of the king in Alsace, and returned to the palace.

He had been in the Star Boundary for two days, and now the battle situation on the front line had changed again, and the nobles in the meeting hall were arguing.

Minister of Intelligence Ronan Andersson said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, it turns out that when the Franks took the initiative to invade our Alsace again, the Frankish Kingdom had already annexed the Principality of Brittany and the Principality of Profats, and obtained Fragments of the ancient universal law of these lands were woven into their Frankish law.”

Hearing this, Ivita penetrated the ceiling of the council chamber and the various complex obstructions in the sky and material plane, and looked out to see the Frankish Law growing stronger and rising in the distance.

Although the Frankish Law only exists on the main material plane in the Magical Black Forest Universe, its influence is actually very far-reaching. When spying on the Great Void Realm in the star realm, Ivita discovered that the laws of the Frankish Kingdom have affected the Great Void Realm. Several low-level universes in the world.

National laws will spread.

And the dissemination seems to be more powerful than the universal law, because the universal law is to integrate a blank place, but the national law is to allow each blank place to generate laws that govern them.

It can be seen from this that for kingdoms divided in various places, they will almost certainly choose to actively change their own laws and turn to national laws.

The Frankish Kingdom, which gained the first-mover advantage, suddenly became a powerful country comparable to the pagans.

Ivita said: "I know. I have seen their Frankish laws on the front line this time. Although they are not as large as the universal laws, they are more condensed and have a harder structure. The Fire Dragon Laws cannot even be used locally. Suppression of Frankish Law.”

The nobles in the chamber discussed among themselves.

It turns out that during the civil war in Alsace, the Franks had taken a step further and their national power had become stronger. In comparison, Alsace's last twenty years have been like a dream, as if their national power has only declined. .

If Ivita hadn't controlled Alsace now, the Kingdom of Alsace would have had no choice but to surrender and cede its territory.

Intelligence Minister Ronan Andersson is worried. "You took action before. Although the palace was burned down, Your Majesty also caused heavy losses to the Franks' vanguard."

"Originally, the eleven western counties had begun to counterattack, but the Franks sent two of their Law Knights in, and the occupation was once again in trouble. The army of Marshal Tomb King had already fallen into a disadvantage in the small-scale contact battle. "

The nobles in the chamber heard that something was wrong.

"It has reached this level, and they still haven't retreated. They came with the attitude of annihilating us from the beginning."

"Oh my God. The Franks wanted to tear up the armistice treaty with us from the beginning. We thought before that they just found an opportunity, and then they seized the opportunity and chose to attack us. They just wanted some benefits. It turns out... "

Iveta's eyes were cold, and she glanced at the group of trash below. These trash must be replaced. The only skills of these people who have come up in the past decades of chaos may be to flatter others and do favors, but they need so much emotional intelligence. Gao, he likes to cater to his ministers.

It's just that you have to change people slowly, especially at this critical moment. You can only replace some of the leading people, but this is enough for the time being.

Ivita said: "I felt very strange when Frank had a truce with Alsace before. I noticed the files in Alsace and found that Frank had already obtained a strategic location in Alsace at that time, and even more so. In the contract, Alsace’s traditional strategic danger to the Franks was removed.”

"At that time, Frank was competing with the Kingdom of Mangoya for maritime trade hegemony, so it was naturally impossible to have an armistice with you. In other words, there has never been an armistice treaty between Frank and Alsace. The reason why this treaty has not been approved for so many years It was broken just because the Frankish Kingdom needed to focus its attention on the west at that time."

The nobles in the meeting hall all panicked. As soon as Ivita told them this, they understood. It turned out that they were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered who were whitewashing the peace.

They thought they had achieved peace, but in fact, they just had other things to do and didn't want to get entangled with them for a while.

Now the Frankish Kingdom has exposed their wolfish ambitions, and of course they want to cripple Alsace at once.

I am afraid that Alsace has become the primary target of the current Frankish Kingdom.

Wingo, the minister of the capital's canal management department, said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, recently a large number of Frankish merchants who were originally in the royal capital wanted to leave via the waterway, but I intercepted them."

"I estimate that there are many Frank spies among them. They are now eager to send the information they have obtained from our country over the years back to their home country."

Ivita said directly without thinking at all: "Detain all their people and property and imprison them."

There was no objection in the chamber.

This is normal operation.

Minister of Intelligence Ronan Andersson then said to Ivita: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence we received from the front line, our existing army is unable to fight against the two major Knights of the Law. Now the morale of our army is low."

"And in the east, Emperor Oyo also organized a large number of troops and assembled at the eastern border of our country. Although there was no declaration of war, I estimate...according to the reports from the spies I planted in the empire, the emperor seems to want to declare war on our country."

The nobles in the chamber became even more flustered upon hearing this.

Continuously fighting against the two most powerful countries in the world is challenging their common sense.

Minister Ronan Andersson looked grim. "Your Majesty, what should we do now? The enemies are attacking us from two directions, leaving us with no way to escape."

Ivita nodded, but said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Oyo III will fight me sooner or later. But I just fought with the Franks for a round, and when we were victorious, the emperor hurried to coming."

"Hmph. It seems that the previous Hussite Principality has been secretly supported by a certain country. Once the support was withdrawn, the Hussite Principality was suppressed by the emperor. Oyo III and the Frankish Emperor were not friends, but also enemies. We were tripartite at best. The game is just that two parties think that my side is too weak and want to clear out my side that is too weak before the war begins."

"Mr. Ronan."

"I previously had an alliance with friends in the north. Just an hour before I came to the council chamber, she contacted me with a magic carrier pigeon. Her troops are already outside the kingdom of strangers. You send someone to contact her troops. .The armies of the undead in the north.”

The nobles in the meeting hall were all surprised.

Unexpectedly, Ivita directly called in the help of the northern undead.

After so many years, the undead in the north are no longer in the position of being exposed to the light. It’s just that the undead have different ideas from the living. Therefore, over the years, they have rarely cooperated with the countries of the Magic Black Forest on a large scale. Unexpectedly, this time Ivita It was actually able to bring the undead natural disaster over.

Ivita said to them: "I will personally mobilize the armies of my remaining three countries to fight the army of Emperor Oyo, while the troops of Alsace and the Scourge of the Undead can fight against the Frankish Kingdom."

"The emperor of Frank and the emperor of the empire think that we are weak, but I want them to understand that Alsace is a region that can make the empire fall."

The nobles in the meeting hall felt hopeful again and began to discuss.

Minister Ronan Andersson hesitated and said: "But Your Majesty Ivita, if you lead the army to fight against Emperor Oyo III, who will lead the army to fight against Emperor Frank? Nowadays, Alsace... there are relatively few people who can be used. "

Minister Ronan Andersson is actually a veteran, which is why he was reused in the dynasties of Henry VII and Geron. He knew how to show himself in front of what kind of monarch.

When he is with a weak monarch, he can have a congenial temperament; when he is with a strong monarch, he can make suggestions.

Minister Ronan Andersson reminded Ivita: "Your Majesty, we must not underestimate the Frank Empire. If the Frank Empire really launches an all-out invasion against us, the threat to us may be greater than that of the Holy Empire."

"If you can, you should probably go to the Western Theater yourself."

Ivita shook her head and patted her head, and the Saint of Vesta immediately walked into Alsace's meeting hall. "I have a better candidate. The Virgin of Vesta was originally a Frank, but now she is an Alsatian."

"She knows Frank better than I do. Let him go to help the Tomb King and the Minister of Defense, and we will get twice the result with half the effort."

As soon as Ivita had an idea, Dragon Palace magic summoned a nine-eyed white sheep. "This my magical creature pet can help you deal with the Franks' army."

The Saint of Vesta swept across the chamber, looking eagerly at her Alsatian ministers and nobles, and sighed in her heart. After all, she was on the opposite side of Frank. "Your Majesty, leave this matter to me with confidence."

"I can definitely guarantee that Frank's army will retreat."

"But Your Majesty, there is something I want to remind you. Before I surrendered to you, I had already received news that the Frank Emperor wrote to the pagan emperors. After all, they are now allies of both countries."

"If the Frank Emperor's letter gets into the hands of the pagan emperor, perhaps the pagans will declare war on our country. By then, you will have to face the three most powerful countries in the world."

Even Iveta's expression changed when she heard this.

The laws behind these three countries are not simple.

Combining the laws of these three countries can produce more than one universal law.

Unexpectedly, just taking back the Kingdom of Alsace would cause so many chain reactions. This is normal. Alsace is a kingdom-level country.

The implications are too broad.

Ivita nodded. "Holy girl, you did a good job on this matter. I will deal with this letter. I wonder if you have any clues about this letter."

The Virgin of Vesta sent a message to Ivita using psychic magic. "These are the main ways for the Frankish Kingdom to communicate with the pagans. This is all I can do."

"But maybe the pagans are too far away from here, and even if they believe it, it won't be of much use."

Iveta said: "I understand. In order to cope with the current war situation, I decided to add a first-level political division in some counties, called [Legal Areas]."

"Put eleven western counties into one western legal district."

He saw everyone in the meeting hall looking at him in confusion.

Ivita explained: "Alsace now lacks manpower and material resources. In order to cope with the long-term pressure from Frank, it is necessary to strengthen the western defense line. The existing administrative divisions cannot keep up with my purpose, so resources must be concentrated to A vast fortress and military district developed in the west.”

"And, increase the participation rate of civilian masters in the eleven counties."

"After the new legal district is established, there will be a large number of vacant official positions, and these official positions can be exchanged for military merit."

"And the surrounding immigrants will gradually move there because of the legal area."

Ivita said: "Upgrading the administrative status of a region can increase the population and wealth of the region, and the freed interests of all parties can be used to exchange the efforts of private experts. So, do you understand? "

Saint Vesta was the first to figure it out, and she suddenly realized that Ivita seemed to be not bad either.

At least as the king of Alsace, Ivita did not expect that she would come up with this method to improve the utilization of her relatively few resources in a short period of time.

And the nobles in the meeting hall also figured it out one after another.

They didn't expect that just a name or an administrative division could make a region different.

This kind of method was not available to the previous kings of Alsace.

The previous kings of Alsace were all knights. They only knew how to plunder visible wealth on the battlefield, but they did not expect that some wealth was invisible.

Minister Ronan Andersson said to Ivita: "Your Majesty is clever and can easily raise an army and a city to fight against the Franks."

Ivita said: "Send the Sophora Knights to the west to join the battle. There is no way to deal with the Law Knights."

"We must also have the Knights of the Law to deal with them, otherwise the army will only be defeated in every battle."

The Hearthstone Witch wondered: "Then why don't we also set up law districts in the eastern counties to fight against the emperor."

Ivita shook her head.

The number of homeless people is limited, and resources must first be concentrated and accumulated in one place.

Besides...

Ivita said: "The situation in the empire is different from that in Frank. The situation in the empire is just a conflict of interest between Oyo III and me. Oyo III's subordinates come from dozens of different countries and regions, and they have never seen each other. I have rarely seen Alsatians in my life. Compared with the Franks, they will not launch an invasion at all, but only launch a war against me."

"We don't need to guard against these people for a long time. As long as I defeat Oyo III, everything will be solved. This is the difference between a nation-state and a feudal state."

"Our war with the Frankish Kingdom is essentially a war between two peoples that will end until death. My war with the empire is just a conflict between my interest group and the interest group of Oyo III."

Ivita said: "It's another situation on the side of the pagans."
