Chapter 129

"It seems that you didn't get to this position by sheer grit—you were born for it."

Qiao Yelan praised.

“Teacher, Ivignad and I are your students, taught by you. We have each learned something from your teachings and have our own strengths—isn’t that what you expect of us?”

Herlinmat was clearly pleased with what Qiao Yelan said.

“However, Ivignad said that this is all she can think of for now, and asked me to tell you because we also want to hear your opinion, teacher—what other methods are there for dealing with the border situation with Victoria?”

"Even if you hadn't asked, I was already planning to add this. After all, I've already paved the way. The real plan is best left to you to take action."

Qiao Yelan took out a letter.

"This is......"

"A letter of appeal for assistance from His Excellency Werner von Hochberg, the Elector of Shitong, to be delivered to His Majesties the two Emperors."

The man's words surprised Helena, and with some doubt, she opened the letter.

The contents above made her eyes widen in disbelief.

I hereby invite Her Majesty the Queen to dispatch troops to garrison in Shitong territory to assist our army in resisting the military pressure exerted by Victoria.

"This is......"

"A letter that allows you to legitimately intervene in the Elector's District."

Qiao Yelan chuckled softly.

"Although it's a bit early, after seeing your and Ivignad's performance, I think this shouldn't be a problem for you."

Herlinmat carefully considered Qiao Yelan's words and the letter in her hand.

She was aware of Walner's problem. Although the domestic intelligence network was spreading a little slowly, the Hochberg family's family tower housed a whole squad of Golden Law Guards, so the intelligence they transmitted about Shitong Territory was quite detailed.

Walner's uncle was no pushover—Walner had been able to barely maintain the upper hand in the political struggles within the Hochberg family, but when the remnants of the Witch King's faction began to swarm toward Shiton territory, Walner was already struggling to hold them off.

Now that the Duchy of Wellington has suddenly made a major move and seems to be planning to go to war, the pressure has instantly turned into immense pressure on Walner's shoulders.

This wasn't the last straw that broke the camel's back; it was the last tank that broke the camel's back.

If Werner succumbs to the pressure and makes a mistake, he might be stripped of his position as head of the Hochberg family immediately.

As a former comrade-in-arms who fought side by side before the Witch King's Tower, and who later voluntarily withdrew from the election of emperors, while also being the first to stand up and support the twin empresses' ascension to the throne as an elector—both morally and logically, Helena was unwilling to let Volner fall at this time.

However, the Gemini Queens did not have anything extra to support Warner at this time—resources and money were what Trinity desperately needed. They needed as much as they could, so where would they find extra resources to help the other side?

As for the army, the emperor's army entering the territory of the elector is not something that can be easily dismissed.

The nobles could tolerate the twins occupying the capital of Letania for the time being, but if the emperor wanted to extend his reach into their territory, that would be crossing their bottom line.

But everything changed after Qiao Yelan brought the letter.

This was because it was Walner who [actively invited] the emperor's army to come and garrison the city.

In peacetime, this would also be impossible—the other electors would definitely join forces to form an army and teach Walner and the Twins a lesson.

But the current situation is that everyone believes that the Duke of Wellington is about to launch a war against Letania.

Just look at the reactions of the other electors when Qiao Yelan instigated Nikolai to attack the Haydenschwell region; you'll know how adept these guys are at keeping to themselves.

And Victoria was bordered by more than just the territory of an Elector.

At this critical juncture, they must be fully on guard against the situation in Victoria. Even if Warner defies the world and makes this decision that goes against the ancestors, they will at most engage in verbal battles and are unlikely to actually send troops to participate in the demonstrations against the emperor.

If everyone participates and contributes to a large-scale denunciation meeting, then the political event can continue.

But if some people can use an irresistible reason to say they won't participate, and instead let others act as pawns—and even the benefits they ultimately secure are shared by everyone.

Then the conference would have to be canceled.

After all, people are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality.

Why should you enjoy the benefits we fought for without contributing anything?

If Shi Tongling is a traitor, and the electors bordering Victoria only offer their opinions but not their money, then are the remaining electors really willing to pay the price themselves to oppress the emperor?

Perhaps, but unfortunately, their strength may not be enough.

After all, with Victoria watching with predatory eyes, Ursus having ended its invasion less than six months ago, and Kazimir declaring his support for the Emperor at this juncture—how many electors would have the time and inclination to oppose him?

Don't forget, Da Yan just recently brought a money tree and was swaggering around doing business.

Qiao Yelan's greatest skill is to do one thing and then use that thing to influence everything she does next.

Therefore, those electors who still have the energy to cause trouble for Gemini in this matter will face two choices—

While the other electors were busy dealing with external threats, he used his own money to participate in this sure-fire international trade, earning profits and wealth for himself...

Or, when the other electors are too busy, they should take out money and food, send out their own army, and stage a grand but fruitless war parade to pressure the emperor, so as to win a visible but intangible power for all the electors.

Everyone has their own moral compass, and they will naturally make their own choices.

However, the person who puts down that weight may not necessarily be themselves.

Manipulating the scales has always been one of Qiao Yelan's specialties.

The best time, the best candidate, the best reason—

Herlinmat's breathing quickened.

She naturally understood that once anything was started, the second and third times were just a matter of time.

And when the "Voice of the Queen" takes up residence in the capital of each Elector's district and stands before the tower of each Elector—their power will naturally extend to Trinitylme.

"We must send troops. At this time, even if we have to slow down the development of Trinterme, we must squeeze out enough resources and military funds to send a strong army to Shitong territory!"

Herlinmat's words were resounding.

Just as Ivignad was adept at navigating the complexities of politics, Herlinmat was equally skilled in military maneuvering.

It cannot be just a symbolic dispatch of troops; it must be a forceful and decisive move. In his letter, Warner only wrote that he hoped to jointly deal with Victoria's military pressure, but it was clear that he hoped to gain support for the internal affairs of the Shitong territory.

The Queens' military campaign must be successful, ensuring that Warner completely controls the territory of St. Tong, while also containing the pressure from the Duchy of Wellington—this battle must be won, and won decisively and swiftly.

This is not just about so-called fair rewards and punishments. Although Warner was the first to support the Gemini Empresses, politics never takes feelings into account.

What Helena wanted to show the other electors was not just the immense support they could gain after pledging allegiance to them—she also wanted to show those with pent-up ambitions a new patron.

Even amidst internal and external troubles, the Hochberg family continues to engage in fierce infighting and vying for the position of family head—such things are rare in other electoral families.

However, their previous power struggles were limited to their respective electoral regions, relying on the support of the forces within those regions to determine who would become the head of the family.

But after this, everything was completely different—

Those ambitious individuals will discover for the first time that they can also use other means to vie for and secure the position of family head.

That is to offer our loyalty to the Gemini Empresses!

What is Shi Tongling's current situation?

Walner was now the sole survivor of his entire family; the army he had served had been almost entirely wiped out in the capital; internally, his uncles and relatives were vying for power; the remnants of the Witch King's faction were eyeing him covetously; and externally, Victoria loomed large.

Even so, Her Majesty the Queen was able to keep him in his position and even help him withstand the military pressure from foreign enemies.

If Warner can sit here, why can't I?

There are many ways to split a team. Besides the issue of profit distribution, a common method is to foster the ambition of others under the leader.

The Tower of Babel manipulates these people by feeding their ambitions.

What if there isn't enough funding?

Qiaoqiao's 10 Billion Yuan Subsidy is Here!

What to do if there are too few people?

The Sarkaz mercenaries are here!

What to do if support is low?

Her Majesty the Empress's heavenly army is here!

This is the real reason why Qiao Yelan went to such lengths with the Grand Duke of Wellington.

The Electors were a real eyesore to Qiao Yelan's control of Letania.

He can allow them to continue to have the right to breathe.

However, he would not allow them to have the power to cause trouble for himself and the Gemini Queens.

“Go, Herlinmat, this time, you go yourself—be efficient.”

"I understand, teacher."

Herlinmat smiled with boundless confidence.

"I will not let your preparations go to waste!"
