The Britannian Empire, like the other three great empires, had a coexistence of aristocratic feudalism and the emperor's autocratic system.
There are a large number of territorial nobles in the Britannia Empire.
The so-called territorial nobles are the common name for those nobles who own fiefs.
In the Britannia Empire, only relatives of the royal family can become nobles with fiefdoms. In the nearly 300 years of history of the Britannia Empire, no one can rely on merit to become an ordinary person or a noble.
From a nobleman without a fief to a territorial nobleman.
Nearly one-third of the territory of the Britannia Empire is controlled by these territorial nobles.
The other two-thirds of the territory was under the vertical management of the central government, that is, the emperor himself, who sent officials to various places for governance and jurisdiction.
These territorial nobles not only enjoy hereditary rule in their fiefs, but also have great autonomy within their fiefs. Some territorial nobles with larger fiefs also have the right to form their own army.
While the territorial nobles enjoy great rights, they also bear many responsibilities.
For example: you must obey the emperor's orders, pay tribute regularly, maintain the security of the empire... and so on.
In the Britannia Empire, these territorial nobles, who control one-third of the empire's territory, will gather in the imperial capital Pendragon from time to time to meet with His Majesty the Emperor, all central ministers, and local officials, 3
The leader of the Grand Knights participated in an important meeting that would only be held when extremely important state affairs occurred.
That is the Round Table Conference, the highest-level meeting in the Britannia Empire!

The roundtable meeting 8 years ago had only two contents: first, to elect the new leader of the Rachel Knights. Second, to discuss the new strategic direction of the empire in the future in view of the current declining national power of the Rollin Empire.
.
After the last round table meeting, the new leader of the Rachel Knights, Albert, was elected. He also changed the empire's strategic policy: to focus its main efforts on the east and south, as well as on the east and south.

…
October 18, 290 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
16:48 pm.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, on a spacious street.
Su Cheng, wearing an ordinary cloth, walked on this spacious avenue with leisurely steps.
What was a little different from before was that Su Cheng was still wearing his white knight sword on his left waist.
In the past, Su Cheng would never go out wearing his knight's sword, but now is a special period, so Su Cheng has no choice but to wear his white knight's sword on the streets.
Click, click, click...
In front of Su Cheng, there were sounds of armors clashing and iron boots hitting the ground.
After hearing the clicking sounds, Su Cheng couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Here it comes again..."
After sighing in a voice that only he could hear, Su Cheng put away the faint bitter smile on his face and continued walking forward at his leisurely pace.
After a while, a patrol of about fifty people came in front of Su Cheng.
This patrol team is all wearing helmets and armor, and is fully equipped with axes, spears, swords, crossbows and other weapons.
After seeing the patrol team appear, the people on the street showed a bit of fear and turned away, not daring to look at the patrol team.
"Hello, sir."
Just when Su Cheng was about to miss the patrol, the captain of the patrol suddenly led the men behind him to walk in front of Su Cheng and said to Su Cheng very politely.
However, before the patrol captain could finish speaking, Su Cheng spoke first:
"I am Su Cheng, the Knight of the Twin Oaks of the Empire."
After saying that, Su Cheng turned slightly sideways so that the knight's sword hanging on his left waist could be more visible.
The captain of the patrol team looked slightly surprised after hearing Su Cheng's self-introduction.
Then, he immediately took out a large pile of paper from the bag hanging on his waist and started to read through it.
This large pile of paper contains portraits and some basic information of all the prominent figures in the imperial capital.
Soon, the captain of the patrol came across Su Cheng's portrait.
The captain of the patrol team held up Su Cheng's portrait and compared it with Su Cheng for a long time before he nodded seriously: "Well, it's exactly the same as the one in the portrait. It seems that it is indeed Mr. Su Cheng himself."
After saying that, the patrol captain put the large pile of paper back into the bag hanging on his waist.
Can I go then?
Before Su Cheng could say these words, the captain of the patrol team continued:
"However, in the past, spies from hostile countries used the art of disguise to sneak into the imperial capital, intending to sabotage the convening of the Round Table Conference. To be on the safe side, can you let me check whether you are disguised?"
Su Cheng sighed helplessly, then turned his face towards the patrol captain:
"please."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
The captain of the patrol team thanked Su Cheng without being humble, then raised his hand and pinched Su Cheng's face.
The patrol captain pinched the left side of Su Cheng's face with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and then pulled it with neither light nor heavy force.
After confirming that he was not wearing any human skin mask, the patrol captain nodded with satisfaction and retracted his hand that pinched Su Cheng's cheek.
"Thank you for your cooperation." The captain of the patrol team said while giving a military salute to Su Cheng.
"No, you're welcome." Su Cheng returned the military salute to the patrol captain very politely.
After finishing his inspection of Su Cheng, the patrol captain led his subordinates and left.
Still staying where he was, watching the patrol leave, Su Cheng smiled bitterly and said to himself:
"This roundtable meeting is really annoying... Today on the short journey from my home to Kailuoer's work restaurant, I have already encountered three waves of patrols..."
