Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 160 Eight Wittelsbach's Ambition

Ladislaus has certainly been thinking about his future power structure in recent days.

The current situation of the Prime Minister of Sazastan is very delicate. Although the new King Ferdinand I respected him very much, he called him "the pillar of the Habsburg Empire" at the farewell banquet before leaving for Spain. The campaign for the throne was handed over to him.

But now that Cuscus has obtained the missionary rights in Austria and Grumba has obtained the missionary rights in Spain, it is not suitable for the Red Robe Mages to continue to stay in Spain.

All the red-robed mages are actually followers of Kossuth, and they only claim to be followers of the Knights of Great Wishes in order to conceal the alliance between the Knights of Great Wishes and the Lord of Fire.

The Grand Wish Knight is very afraid of the influence of the Red Robe Mage Association in Spanish politics, and moving away will inevitably reorganize the relationship network, which can ease their access to power.

If nothing else happened, another red-robed "National Town" His Highness Misrella will soon move to Vienna with a dozen other red-robed mages.

This time Ferdinand took away most of the Austrian mages and the "town country" Bravan Fugger, just to fill the vacancy left by the red robe mage.

They have stayed in Madrid for too long, and this time the transplant is not an easy job.

From Ladislaus' point of view, the Grand Wish Knight quietly plotted against his allies, but Kossuth is not being stupid. Austria is closer to the Electorate of Bohemia, and the largest gathering of followers of the Lord of Fire The district is Prague, the capital of Bohemia, and re-infiltrating the Electorate of Bohemia is the most suitable plan for the Lord of Fire.

As mentioned earlier, the position of Elector of Bohemia is currently held by King Louis II of Hungary. Although the Agronni royal family is still a follower of Cyric, believers of other gods have suffered a lot of injustice in terms of justice and politics. treatment.

But because of the alliance with the Habsburg family, the Church of the Lord of Flames will definitely be able to get some living space.

As part of Ferdinand's acknowledgment of his jurisdiction over Austria, Ladislaus had formally invited Sarzastan to become Chancellor of Austria.

How to balance the powerful group of red-robed mages will give Ladislas a headache for a long time.

But he has no choice, this is not only Ferdinand's request, but also the oracle of the ambitious knight.

Ladislaus is now hesitating whether to do the winter ghost mission. Whether to let such an old and powerful figure into his power system is a very difficult choice.

Moreover, the legendary monster on the perpetually frozen snow mountain in the Alps could be killed whenever he wanted. The more Ladislaus checked the information recently, the more he felt that to deal with this monster, the whole country of Austria might have to be mobilized.

This price is too high, even if it is to save a "town country".

The situation in Frenzberg is relatively simple.

Ferdinand took away Baron Galliani, but Frenzberg, who owned a lot of territory in the Holy Roman Empire, couldn't leave.

In return for years of faithful service to several generations of the Habsburg family, he was able to reclaim the ancestral Duchy of Mindenheim lost to his grandfather's generation.

However, Austria is also a centralized system of power. After the old emperor of the previous generation took it back, the principality has legally become an enclave of Austria. landlord.

Therefore, in order to show respect, he never used the title Duke of Mindenheim in the Vienna court.

However, there are also tasks related to him on the interface, "Legendary Equipment: After a series of deadly battles with the Perfect Knight Bayar, Frundsberg realized that in order to defeat the Perfect Knight, he needs to have another piece that can balance Bayar The treasure of the Holy Avenger of Er Knight." The reward of the mission is: "Once he gets this treasure, he will be as loyal to you as he is to the emperors of all ages, and become your most reliable subordinate."

After losing the "Shadow Skin", Ladislaus himself has no legendary equipment, but with Austria's national strength, this task should be achievable. Ladislaus urgently needs someone who is absolutely loyal to him in state affairs Austrian nobleman.

When Ladislaus walked out of the bedroom, the two "Guardian" and "Guardian" had already been waiting in the living room for a while. Although Ladislaus' authority was not enough, they were the most experienced courtiers. Now, know that it is never worth slighting even the most shaky monarch in details that do not have any interest.

When they saw Ladislaus, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted.

Prime Minister Sarzastan has not officially accepted Ladislaus' invitation, but he is very clear that Ferdinand left himself in the Holy Roman Empire in order to eliminate his influence during the process of relocating the Red Robe Mages.

And he is probably going to spend the rest of his life in Vienna.

So now he is more respectful to Ladislaus than he was to Ferdinand, who was still acting Grand Duke at the time, and he doesn't put on the airs of the Spanish Prime Minister at all.

Such a late-night meeting and the fact that Ladislaus immediately turned off the maids in the room as soon as he came out, they realized that it was a state matter.

However, when they met, they had informed Ladislaus about the situation of several electors. Basically, as Ladislas expected, there was really no big problem.

What's the matter now?

Ladislaus didn't play tricks either, and asked them to sit down and speak directly: "The Elector of the Rhine-Palatine wants to seize the Archbishop of Würzburg and the territory of Bamberg, what do you think?"

After Florentino and Sarzastan exchanged glances, they spoke eagerly: "He made a formal request, and this is the condition to support His Majesty Ferdinand's claim to the throne?"

Prime Minister Sarzastan was quite surprised.

If such a formal request is made on the eve of entering Frankfurt, it means that the Rhine-Palatine Elector must have won at least one other vote, and has a strong ability to prevent members of the Habsburg family from becoming emperor.

This means that the early work of the two of them made a big mistake.

"It's not a formal request. For the time being, outsiders don't know how to open up my private channel." Ladislaus shrugged, "It should only be regarded as a temptation."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Sazastan said with a sigh of relief: "I don't know the details of the princes of the Holy Roman Empire, but the Rhine-Palatine Elector wants to open up the corridor and connect the eastern and western territories into one. One is a long-term geographical ambition. There is no reason to agree to him, of course, you should not reject him publicly, and the overall situation of the election for the throne is the most important thing."

Ladislaus nodded, then pondered for a while and decided to discuss his worries about another plan with these two people. (To be continued.
