The witch thought I am a Demon God

The Archbishop of Mainz said: "There are huge problems within the Frankish Kingdom. Within the Imperial Parliament today, we will decide the current attitude of the empire towards the Frankish Kingdom."

Oyo III suddenly interrupted and said: "I want to use the emperor's privileges to change the original anonymous voting method to real-name voting."

There was some minor uproar in the venue.

The purpose of Oyo III was nothing more than to use the emperor's authority to suppress some of the weaker princes, forcing them to vote in accordance with the emperor's wishes.

The seven electors looked at each other. The emperor had privileges, and the electors also had privileges. The elector of Mainz was the convener and defender of the meeting, and the elector of Münster recorded the number of times the emperor used his privileges. As the recorder of the emperor's use of imperial resources, the Archbishop of Cologne is also the speaker of the parliament and has the right to reject the emperor's prerogatives in parliament, but the archbishop of Cologne only has the right to unconditionally reject it once a year.

But such a privilege, even if it can only be used once, is like the last bullet in the barrel, enough to scare the emperor.

At this moment, the six electors looked at the old Archbishop of Cologne.

Because the emperor had communicated this matter with them in advance, it did not mean that the electors had to follow the emperor's orders exactly. It was only normal for them to regret and break the contract when the matter came to pass. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties had to pay attention to the electors. Hou Zhi gritted his teeth.

The Archbishop of Cologne nodded slightly to Oyo III, who was obviously more relaxed.

This means that the emperor's proposal was approved.

The Archbishop of Mainz said: "In this case, then use the registered voting method instead. Here, I emphasize one thing again. Any vote in this imperial meeting is guaranteed by the long history and the majesty of the empire. There is no People can twist other people’s minds here, or threaten others with force to change voting results.”

“Everyone, look up and look at the universal law.”

Iveta's expression changed. He looked up at the dome of the Imperial Parliament Building. In the center of the dome was an image of the God-given King. This image seemed to be forever embedded in the golden dome.

Universal Law: The divine entity is not with the emperor, but here.

In other words, this Empire State Building is the physical location of the organizational structure of the Holy Empire.

‘No wonder the emperors and electors have the greatest resources in the world, but they can only follow the rules in the Imperial Parliament. ’ Ivita glanced at the electors and the emperor. 'It's ridiculous that the entity of the law was not controlled by the emperor, but was placed in Regenburg, an insignificant prince. ’

When Oyo III's registered vote was implemented, the light inside the entire Imperial Parliament Building changed. Originally, all the murals on the walls were colorful, like wandering through a vineyard during the day. Now all the murals gave off an alarming sound. In the blue light, the entire Imperial Parliament venue seemed to be surrounded by an ocean.

Ivita noticed that this light had the effect of removing mind-influenced superpowers, and even had the effect of making ordinary people increase their wisdom.

The stone wall angels inside the Empire State Building moved on their own. These stone angels have very powerful and terrifying sacred weapons against enemies. They should be the guardians of the Empire State Building. At this moment, they are also the servants collecting votes.

A stone angel handed a blank ballot to Ivita, and was actually talking to Ivita like she was an old friend. "I know all the members of the Imperial Council. It seems that Alsace and the others are back again."

"Every member of Alsace receives preferential treatment from the Imperial Council. Of course this will be the case. Alsace was once the head of the secular electors and held the position of Grand Marshal of the Empire. Your father and grandfather were all under our watch Having grown up under the guardianship of the emperor, they are high-spirited, strategizing within the imperial parliament, and as the head of the electors, they play tricks on the emperors."

"As a stone angel exclusive to Alsace, I have never entered the seats of ordinary princes."

Ivita heard some complaints from Stone Angel and said: "Sometimes, leaving is to come back better."

Stone Angel didn't know why, but when he turned around and looked back, he happened to see the throne of Emperor Oyo III.

Stone Angel became excited. "That would be awesome."

"The current emperor is just an old bastard. What ability can he have? I have seen too many scenes here where he was forced into embarrassment by the elected emperors. The emperor clearly has the powerful ability to destroy any electorate. But he was wantonly humiliated by the elected princes who were united together."

"He is not meant to be an emperor, but little Oyo III has a good heart. So I just tolerated him and let him live the life of an emperor."

The princes on the side did not dare to listen anymore.

The words of Ivita and Stone Angel were fatal to them.

At this time, the Archbishop of Mainz said: "Now write down everyone's opinions on whether to declare war on the Frankish Kingdom or not."

"Or it could partially restrict the Frankish Kingdom."

"The princes who have opinions in their hearts can also stand up and speak directly, but please do not interrupt other people's narratives."

Ivita immediately wrote on three votes in favor of the empire's declaration of war on the Frankish Kingdom. He was an enemy of the Frankish Kingdom, so naturally there was no need to help his enemies.

But just when everyone started to vote, the Bishop of Liège suddenly stood up from the ordinary princes' seat and said: "Everyone, why does this war involve all the countries of the Holy Empire? Is it true that the Frankish Kingdom is asking the emperor, the Holy Empire, and the great Empire Parliament declared war?”

"Everyone, our soldiers and property are extremely valuable. Why should we sacrifice our own property for other people's affairs? Of course, if the king of Alsace can pay and compensate us for the losses we have suffered, then we can help Alsace." It is also reasonable for Sars to fight against the Frankish Kingdom."

Iveta didn't look at him, just expressionless.

Duke Salhu carefully glanced at Ivita's face, and then explained: "Don't take this guy's words to heart."

"Your Majesty Ivita."

"The Diocese of Liege and the Frankish Kingdom have been allies for many years. For a period of time, the position of Bishop of Liege was held by the second son of the Frankish royal family. Therefore, it will not surprise anyone that the Bishop of Liege said such words in public."

Ivita nodded. The other party was so partial to Frank, and everyone present knew why at a glance.

The words of the Bishop of Liege also aroused the approval of many princes. Some of them had long been bribed by the Frankish Kingdom, and some really did not want to participate in the war.

Emperor Oyo III narrowed his eyes. Although he was happy to see Ivita deflated, the Bishop of Liège in front of him clearly wanted to slap him in the face too.

The emperor's intention has long been known to the princes through a registered vote.

But the Bishop of Liège deliberately turned a blind eye and regarded the emperor's majesty as nothing.

For the emperor of the Holy Empire, the invisible and intangible things are the most realistic. If the princes find that the emperor is also so vulnerable, his ideas will not be realized, and the Holy Empire will fall apart.

Regarding this point, the seven electors also began to choose to help Emperor Oyo III. In a sense, the electors were also privileged countries within the empire. Protecting the interests of the Holy Empire was also safeguarding their own interests.

So the seven electors began to help the emperor speak to Ivita.

"Alsace has now returned to the empire. In fact, the Frankish Kingdom's attack on Alsace is equivalent to attacking the empire itself."

"The Frank-Alsace war cannot be regarded as a simple local war. It is more like a declaration of war against the empire as a whole."

"The Bishop of Liège is still too young after all. I heard that the Bishop of Liège is the illegitimate son of the previous French King, and he and this French King are brothers. You can't betray the interests of the empire because of a personal relationship."

The Bishop of Liège is a religious aristocrat and a noble person. Even if everyone understands some things, just saying them will make people jealous and embarrassed.

The Bishop of Liege stared at the Ambassador Regent of the Kingdom of Potsdam who came to attend the meeting on behalf of the Witch Queen and said: "Regent of the Kingdom of Potsdam, please pay attention to the way you speak. What you say are all baseless things."

"I am a servant of the God of all things. How can I allow you to slander me like this?"

"Besides, you electors are not clean either. Two of the electors of the three kingdoms are controlled by the Witch Queen. What a deception. Has the Holy Empire turned into the Witch Empire?"

"The Kingdom of Silemia is also controlled by a strange organization called the Academy. You..."

Seeing that the Bishop of Liege had misrepresented the matter, the vote could continue as usual. This was a trick used by the Regent of Potsdam to divert everyone's attention.

As the Bishop of Liège argued, the princes had forgotten what he had said before and began to vote continuously.

The Archbishop of Mainz kept counting the votes. Half an hour later, he looked at the princes and knights who had remained silent, waiting for the verdict to be announced and said: "The final vote result is that the Empire will go to war against the Frankish Kingdom."

Emperor Oyo III showed a satisfied smile.

The same is true for Ivita. After all, this matter is completely related to her own interests.

The trustees invited by Emperor Oyo III applauded wildly, and the entire empire declared war on the Frankish Kingdom with unity.

As the Imperial Council discussed the results, Universal Law: Holiness moved directly towards the location of the Western Frankish Kingdom.

At this moment, I don’t know how many Frank professionals felt that their strength had been suppressed, at least by about 10%, and their body’s self-healing ability was suppressed. This meant that in the next war, their Stamina will drop rapidly.

But then Frankish law began to rebel and protect the people of the land.

Originally, even the broken universal laws could completely suppress the Frankish laws, but the national laws of the Frankish Kingdom, which had successively conquered the Duke of Burgundy and the Duchy of Lorraine, had reached an unprecedented level.

This is a height that never could a dispersed area of ​​law reach.

At this moment, the two parties were actually fighting.

The discomfort among all the people on the Frankish land gradually subsided, and in the end there was only a little bit of fatigue that could not be observed if not carefully felt.

Strength suppression has almost completely disappeared.

The result of this frontless duel made many people weigh in their hearts. The problems in the Frankish Kingdom were indeed serious.

Emperor Oyo III was an afterthought. ‘Before, I always thought that Ivita was the character that threatened me, but now it seems that I am completely in the dark. ’

‘Fortunately, this time I discovered the true face of the Frankish Kingdom. ’

‘After the Frankish Kingdom is solved, it will not be too late to solve Ivita. ’

Ivita thought: 'I didn't expect that the Frankish Kingdom had grown to the point where it rivaled the Empire. I have always been fighting against this kind of existence. ’

‘The Frankish Kingdom’s paper power cannot surpass that of the Empire, but the Empire is like a zombie, and its brains have long been useless. ’

Ivita looked at Emperor Oyo III. ‘The emperor cannot keep up with the times. Let’s not talk about the hatred between me and him. That is just a small detail. But at his level, he is indeed not suitable to become the emperor of the empire. ’

At this moment, Ivita felt the same emotion that Oyo III had when he was young. I can replace it and do it better.

Oyo III said: "Due to the temporary absence of the Kingdom of Alsace, I will serve as the Marshal of the Empire."

"Do you guys have any objections?!"

"Mainz, Münster, and Cologne are church territories, and they are also the speakers of the Imperial Parliament, so each country only needs to send 3,500 soldiers. Although the Principality of Palatinate is an elector, it is only a principality, so We only need to send 8,000 soldiers. The three kingdoms need to send more than 15,000 soldiers. As the emperor, I will lead 30,000 soldiers."

"The rest of the ordinary princes need to send three hundred troops. If there are no troops to send, they can use a soldier's standard salary of three years to pay imperial taxes and use taxes in lieu of troops."

"Many knight territories need to produce at least one knight. There are no restrictions on the apprentices, servants and infantry responsible for serving the knights. However, please note that each knight territory must produce a knight, otherwise the knight territory will be deprived of it."

A knight's collar that cannot produce a knight can also produce a knight's general expenses for three years as taxes. "

These are routine operations, so Oyo III speaks very quickly.

In this way, the empire can gather millions of troops, but this is only theoretical, because most princes will choose to provide money instead of men.

Some princes also like to use some tricks to provide money, concealing reports, etc...

Even if you are good at it, there are too many ways to pass it off as something inferior.

Therefore, although these expenses have not reached the point of bloodshed and flesh-and-blood for the empire's countries, Oyo III still cannot attract too many people.

The Archbishop of Mainz asked the emperor seemingly kindly. "But can the emperor raise 30,000 people? If the emperor cannot raise 30,000 people, we princes will definitely not be able to do it either."

"Besides, the emperor's army must be of high quality, and it will not be fake."

Oyo III gave him a cold look. "This is my problem, you don't have to think about it."

Oyo III looked at Ivita. "Since Alsace is a battlefield, I hope that Alsace will fully assist the Imperial Army."

Iveta was not that stupid. She thought that saving her energy was an advantage, so she nodded and said, "This is natural."
