Chapter 1009 Army Reform(1/2)
The next day.
The Holy Soul Wizard and the Imperial Councilors entered the Fuberden Palace, passed through the squares covered with the imperial guards, and climbed up the steps step by step. They saw two rows of extreme warriors standing in front of the open gate of Rick Palace to form a passage leading to the interior of the palace.
Walking into the palace, a sensation of majesty came to my face.
Facing the end of the gate, a tall golden throne came into view, huge pillars on both sides supported the dome, and guards stood around.
They were wearing bright yellow power armor, and their heavy and wide bodies were like a metal wall, which made the imperial MPs feel awe.
Empire's Fist!
These silent and powerful extraordinary warriors are mainly responsible for the defense of the palace, and are closer to the emperor than the Rick Guards, and are only slightly worse than the Iris Dragon Knight.
The Iris Dragon Knight has replaced the Rick Guard and become the emperor's real imperial guard!
There are more than a dozen rows of seats under the Golden Throne.
Frank, the emperor's most trusted chief of staff, led the officials of the Dutch Palace to guide the Imperial Parliamentary members to sit in his own seat. Naturally, the most powerful Holy Soul Wizards sat in the front row, closest to the emperor, and then the cabinet ministers and the Imperial Parliamentary members, who sat in order according to their strength and status.
The atmosphere inside the palace is solemn.
After sitting down, people looked at the people next to them.
Everyone except the Holy Soul Wizard was excited and nervous.
This is the first time that the emperor has convened a meeting after his crowning. The dozens of people present today are all important figures in the empire.
However, some Imperial MPs found several unusual participants.
The great arbitrator of the Church of Justice, the great arbitrator of the Church of Justice, the crown of the Patriarch of the Church of Earth, and the chief vice president of the Steam and Machinery Union. These three are no less than those of the Holy Soul Wizards, but their identities are special and they are not members of the Imperial Congress.
There are also a few strange faces.
They all appear to be spellcasters, young and older; and two elves, both female, and rare drow elves and blood elves!
Most people quickly guessed their identities.
Master Zhuoer is Lord Kui Lu, the "Moon Dance Girl", and a great wizard; the blood elf is Count Livlin and the leader of the Knights of the Holy Spear.
when!
A magic bell rang in the palace.
The light and shadow on the golden throne blurred, and a tall figure jumped over the heart and appeared on the throne in an instant. Wearing golden armor and cloak on the back, the body more than five meters tall was like a giant, sitting on the throne exuding a sacred and majestic aura.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up and saluted to the emperor on the throne and offered their respect.
"Please sit down, everyone." Renn waved his hand casually, swept his eyes over the people in the palace, and said straight to the point: "Today we are summoning everyone here, there are a few things to announce."
He stood up as he spoke and left the Golden Throne.
Although the Golden Throne has been initially transformed and will no longer extract vitality and soul power, the Golden Throne is too big and must be increased to more than five meters before sitting. The ministers below must look up to see the people above, which is very oppressive, but it is very inconvenient to communicate with everyone.
I don't need this kind of scene to reflect the emperor's authority.
The most important thing is that Rennes always feels that it is unlucky to sit on the Golden Throne, so it is better to stay away as far as possible.
There was a wide platform before the throne, which was not too high. There was an ordinary seat. Rennes sat on it. The height was just right to see everyone in front of him, and everyone could clearly see the emperor's expression.
“The first thing.”
Rennes sat down and said, "I have decided to make Viola Silviri my queen and have obtained her consent."
"Viola, please come up."
Everyone's eyes fell on Viola in unison.
She already knew that Rennes would announce today and had been mentally prepared, but when she really waited for this moment, it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart.
The half-elf stood up in the crowd, her beautiful face trying hard to keep calm, but she could not hide the tears in her eyes.
Although Viola is the Home Secretary, her seat is not high.
At this moment, she became the focus of the audience!
In the attention of the Holy Soul Wizard and the Imperial Councilors, Viola walked out of the crowd and walked step by step towards Renn under the Golden Throne.
Emilys and Frangasca were both present, and a little loss flashed in their eyes.
The three sisters of Silver Star, Queen of Storm and Kui Lu are a little envious, but the Silver Star Duke is more relieved. After all, Viola is her great-granddaughter, her surname is Silviri. She watched her grow up and now she becomes the queen, which is a good thing for herself and her family.
Livlin, who was sitting behind, looked at Viola's back and felt a little jealous, but that's all. She never expected to be a queen.
Oxilia was as calm as ever, and she was not determined to be here.
Asina had ideas, but was not strong, so she felt a little regretful that she had not met Ren earlier.
Viola walked onto the platform, Renne stood up to welcome him and stretched out his hand.
She put her hands on Renne's palm, held them gently, then turned around to face the ministers and accepted the congratulations from everyone.
"Greetings to the Crown." Everyone stood up and saluted.
Generally speaking, the queen is also called His Majesty like the emperor, but Viola also has another identity. She is the pope of the Meishan Church, the chosen one of the long-haired ladies, the spokesperson of the gods in the mortal world, and the queen is a secular title, so it is more appropriate to call the crown prince, which is just a distinction between it and the emperor.
"I will hold a coronation ceremony for Viola soon and canonize Octavius as the prince." After Renn said that, he placed another seat next to him and asked Viola to sit down to show his equal status.
Viola looked at the big guys below, including the Holy Soul Wizard whom she had to look up to, and was both excited and proud.
At this moment, she finally felt like she was a mother in the world!
“The second thing.”
Everyone listened carefully. Everything the emperor said today will have a profound impact on the empire and determine the future of hundreds of millions of people.
Renn continued: "I'm going to spend three years to reform the Imperial Army."
After hearing this, many people's faces changed slightly.
Although Alan Ershi is the world where great power belongs to his own power, high-end combat power plays a decisive role, and powerful individuals, such as a holy soul wizard, can stand up to a legion, but a large number of extraordinary armies are still indispensable and are the pillars of the ruling empire.
When everyone heard that Rennes wanted to reform the army, their first reaction was that the emperor wanted to be dictatorial and put all the army under his control.
Renn saw the changes in everyone's minds. This is human nature.
However, he really wanted to do this.
There was a saying in my previous life: The emperor is a powerful soldier and a strong horse. The great mentor also has a famous saying: Power comes from the barrel of a gun.
I am the emperor, so of course I have to control the entire empire's army and never allow others to get involved.
Rennes said slowly: "The times are developing, and technology is advancing. Especially the application of mechanical vehicles and soul guns has made the Legion model no longer suitable for today's wars."
"Seven years ago, I created the 'Duke Guard'. This new army organization and combat mode has proved its strength many times. Repelling the undead army, recapturing the capital of Los Sanctuary, and eliminating the abyss demons of Sunshine State are all the achievements of the Duke Guard."
The four major legions of the Empire and the three major knights, seven commanders were all sitting below.
Renn looked at them, "I believe you have more or less noticed that the prevalence of soul guns has made your army feel the pressure."
"If you don't agree, I can arrange for the Duke Guard to fight with other legions."
"The number of people is set to be 10 to 1. The Duke Guard will send out 500 people, the Imperial Legion will send out 5,000 people, and live guns and live ammunition will go to the battlefield to see the results."
The expressions of the seven team leaders were different.
They looked at each other, and Legriffin, the commander of the Griffin Legion, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need for the competition to avoid unnecessary damage. The Griffin Legion completely obeys His Majesty's orders and firmly implements His Majesty's army reform."
The Griffin Legion has 30,000 people, all of which are griffin knights. The overall combat power ranks first among the seven major armies of the Empire.
Legriffin is also the strongest of the seven team leaders.
He is a level 29 Frost Demon Swordsman!
In the entire empire, there is only one extraordinary profession other than the spellcaster, who has reached level 30 or above, that is Luspel, the great arbitrator of the Church of Justice. Next is Legriffin, who is second only to the great arbitrator, and is two levels higher than Batula, and is even expected to reach level 30.
However, the Griffon Legion has always followed the command of the Nethers. In the sidelines half a month ago, they were the only legion that did not clearly support Rennes and remained neutral.
There was no problem with this.
But Renn won the victory and ascended the throne and became the lord of the empire. The Griffon Legion was in a panic and worried that the emperor would settle the score in the future.
Now when Legriffin heard that Rennes wanted to reform the army, he felt something was wrong and quickly made his statement.
With him taking the lead, other team leaders also expressed obedience.
The other three legions, Storm Legion, Rick Guard, Alpha Hammer, and three Knights, Sword of the Anpha, Iron Knights and Dragon Lizard Knights, each leader stood up to respond. They had already announced their loyalty to the emperor, so naturally they would not go against Rennes.
"very good."
Renn nodded with satisfaction.
"The Duke Guard will revoke this name and adapt it into the "Imperial Defense Army". There are currently a total of 100,000 people. The seven major legions of the Empire have all merged into the Imperial Defense Army and are adapted into about 25 divisions, but you can retain your professional characteristics."
"The three Knights each retain the number of one division, inheriting the honor and history of the Knights."
"Rick Guards abolished the title of the legion, retained only 10,000 elite troops, and continued to be responsible for the guards of the palace, but they were no longer the main force, but as the auxiliary army of the Imperial Fist."
Hearing this, the commander of the Rick Guard, Hesctor, looked dim.
The Rick Imperial Guard, which has a history of more than two thousand years, ended its mission in its own hands.
But he dared not object.
