After four years of long rest and recuperation, the Iron-armored Paladin has finally recovered to 20,000.
At this time, only 3,000 armored paladins remained at their base outside Bolu, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered in various places to support various war zones.
After coming to the training ground of the Iron Paladins, Xia De watched the training of the Paladins with great enthusiasm.
As the ace force of the Frank Empire, the armored paladins can indeed bear the title of "Ace".
Some soldiers are undergoing horse riding training, some are undergoing physical training, and some are undergoing fighting skills.
Because the training ground was too focused, they did not see the emperor watching them on the side of the training ground at this time.
Even if they noticed it, they were unlikely to recognize that the old man was their emperor.
Looking at the iron-armored paladins who were training in full swing, a satisfied smile appeared on Xia De's face.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Xia Delian said three good words, "It is truly worthy of being the pride of our Frank Empire."
After saying that, Xia De sighed exaggeratedly.
"I wonder which cavalry team dares to have the courage to fight my armored paladin head-on on the plains in the entire continent?"
"It is impossible for a cavalry team such a stupid one, right?" Erwin, who was standing beside him, answering with great ability to see the opportunity.
"That's right! Hahahaha!"
Looking at Shade who was laughing now, Erwin quietly said in his heart:
——Your Majesty is in a good mood now.
——Now may be a good time to mention that matter again…
After making up his mind to mention "that thing" to Xia De, Elvin cleared his throat and said respectfully:
"His Majesty."
"Hmm?" Xia De, who was in a good mood at this time, turned around and looked at Elvin with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Alliance with the Holy Hillan Empire..."
Before Erwin finished speaking, Xia De's expression changed instantly.
Looking at Xiade, whose face and expression suddenly changed, Elvin cried in his heart:
——Oh no, Your Majesty still doesn’t want to let go of his prejudice against the Holy Hillan Empire.
What Xia De said next also confirms what Elvin thought just now.
"Ervin, you're so persistent."
Shade frowned and looked at Elvin with an unhappy look.
"This is the time you have proposed to me that you have formed an alliance with the Holy Hillan Empire?"
"Then I will answer you again."
"Unless that little brat from Vahiri comes to me to form an alliance, our Frank Empire will never be aligned with the Holy Helan Empire!"
After hearing Shade say this, Elvin sighed secretly.
--well……
Erwin said in his heart in depression.
——When will the "French-Xi League" be built...
Long ago, the Frank Empire had the intention to form an alliance with the Holy Hillan Empire.
After learning that the Britannian Empire had an alliance with the grassland people in the Far East, that is, the Huns, the Frank Empire felt extremely uneasy.
This "Brazil-Hungarian Alliance" is definitely a big threat to the Frank Empire.
The Britannian Empire was on the west side of the Frank Empire, and the Huns were on the east side of the Frank Empire. The two countries were in a pincer attack on the Frank Empire.
No matter how stupid a person is, as long as he is asked to look at the map, he can see how powerful the alliance between these two countries that sandwich the Frank Empire is to the Frank Empire.
Therefore, after learning that the Britannian Empire and the Hungarians formed an alliance, the Frank Empire's first idea was to build a powerful alliance to compete with the "British-Hungarian Alliance".
The preferred alliance target for the Frank Empire was naturally the behemoth in the north, the "superpower" - the Holy Hillan Empire.
The Frank Empire originally wanted to bring up the Rolling Empire, located south of the Britannian Empire, promote a Three Kingdoms alliance and build an "anti-British Empire encirclement".
But after carefully examining the current situation of the Rolling Empire, the Frank Empire finally decided to cancel the plan to pull the Rolling Empire.
The "Spring Awakening" and "Summer Wind" attacks in the Britannian Empire three years ago seemed to have broken the backbone of the Rolling Empire.
Since the two offensives of the Britannian Empire, the Rolling Empire has been in a slump.
Empress Bella, the current queen of the Rolling Empire, seems to have no interest in revitalizing the country, and continues to live a luxurious, drunken and dreamy life.
With the blessing of this fool's queen, the national strength of the Luolin Empire has not only not recovered in recent years, but has also declined year by year.
After some trade-offs, Xia De and others agreed that if the current state of Rolling Empire was brought into the alliance, the Rolling Empire would do them more than help.
And - even if you invite the Rolling Empire and let the Rolling Empire join the alliance, the foolish queen may not agree.
The fool's queen seems to want to live a stable life now and no longer want to touch anything that may break out of war, especially the possibility of angering the Britannian Empire.
Therefore, even if you invite the Rolling Empire, the fool-like queen who can continue to live a stable life might refuse without hesitation.
Since the Rolling Empire is unreliable, we can only go to the Holy Hillan Empire.
If they can form an alliance with the Holy Xiran Empire and form a "French-High Alliance" with the Holy Xiran Empire, then the strength of their alliance will definitely be able to compete with the "Brazil-Hungary Alliance" and may still gain the upper hand.
Xia De was quite concerned about the alliance with the Holy Xiran Empire at the beginning and sent an envoy to the Holy Xiran Empire as quickly as possible to propose an invitation to form an alliance to Wahiri, the emperor of the Holy Xiran Empire.
Xia De has great enthusiasm and expectations for this invitation to form an alliance.
However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment afterwards.
The envoys arrived at the Holy Heran Empire with friendly kindness, but Vahiri's reply to them was quite unfriendly, so unfriendly that it made people unable to help but raise the nameless fire.
Vahiri directly rejected the Frank Empire's invitation to form an alliance.
The reason for his rejection is as follows: The Holy Hillan Empire is a "superpower" and its national strength is far superior to the countries on the mainland. Only then will it not be afraid of the "Brazil-Hungarian Alliance", so it does not need to form an alliance with your country.
Wahiri's reply made Xia De angry.
Not only Xiade, but many civil and military ministers in the central Frank Empire were extremely angry and dissatisfied.
The Holy Hillan Empire sat on the throne of the "superpower" for many years, which made many Hillan people arrogant - Xia De still knew about this.
