Looking at the corpse that was placed in front of his eyes, known as a traitor to Schwarzburg in Maximilian's mouth, William's heart suddenly swelled up with an indescribable wall of hearts, and after looking at these corpses silently for a while, William's hands were slowly clenched.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please tell me who this corpse is!"
William pointed to the scratched corpse and asked, but when he heard William's question, Maximilian said as if he were very normal: "His Majesty William, this corpse belongs to the Count of Schwarzburg!
Unexpectedly, this earl was not only cruel to others but also to himself, just when my guards surrounded him and prepared to capture him alive, this earl resolutely scratched his face and committed suicide!
” Maximilian's lie is a face that does not blush and does not beat, but for William, William feels humiliated in his heart at this moment!
That's right, exactly humiliation!
Just imagine, in today's Europa, if William said that he was the most powerful king on the entire European continent, I believe that most people would not deny this, but it is precisely in this situation that there are still people who dare to talk nonsense in front of him, which makes William feel angry!
"Your Majesty, the glory of God is everywhere, and we know from childhood that a liar will not be blessed and forgiven by God!"
"Your Majesty, do you doubt that I will hurt our feelings for the sake of a Count of Schwarzburg!
Obviously, this is not possible!
” Maximilian waved his right hand vigorously as he spoke, as if trying to increase the persuasiveness of his words.
But apparently this coy gesture only made William's heart feel even more disgusted!
"Your Majesty, even though you are the Emperor of the Empire, we all know that the traitor of Feled escaped into your palace!
If he fakes his death.
So apparently it wasn't very difficult for him to find a substitute for the dead, and we all knew that the corpse with a shaven face didn't prove his identity.
For your safety and for the sake of the Imperial Family, I would like you to allow the Prussian army to enter the palace and search it!
” After William's words were finished, not only Maximilian, but even Sunigo and other princes on the side were stunned by William's words.
Maximilian was the emperor of the empire!
What a concept is the emperor!
Even though he did not hold the actual power of the empire, and it was not uncommon for powerful princes and emperors within the empire to fight each other, no prince would openly ask for a search of the emperor's palace.
Because this is not only a humiliation to the emperor.
It is also a humiliation to all the citizens of the Holy Roman Empire under God's favor!
And at this moment, the duke of the Grand Duchy of Berg jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, your request is simply impudent!
How dare you ask for a search of an emperor's palace!
Your actions are complete blasphemy against God and the Emperor!
” Hear the words of the Grand Duke of Berg.
William immediately glanced at him coldly, and the murderous intent in his eyes made Archduke Berg involuntarily shrink his neck.
And just when Archduke Berg was shocked by William's eyes, Maximilian said in a gloomy voice: "Your Majesty, do you know what you're talking about?
Of course, Prussia was the strongest prince within the empire.
There is no doubt about that.
But even then you can't arbitrarily make a fortune in the Empire, let alone ask for a search of an Emperor's palace!
” Hearing Maximilian say this, William's hand slowly pressed on the saber at his waist and said: "His Majesty the Emperor disagrees!
It is said that the request to search the palace is also for the sake of His Majesty's safety, and the minister's life has escaped a catastrophe, but His Majesty's life is worth 10,000 times more than that of his Majesty, and he will never agree to let His Majesty the Emperor take this risk!
” Seeing William's move, Horn hurriedly made a gesture to the various commanders of the Prussian army behind him, and after Horn's gesture was done.
I only saw that the Prussian army, which was originally scattered on the periphery, slowly gathered together, and not only that.
These Prussian soldiers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, began to form an encirclement of the princes present and slowly tightened.
"It seems that His Majesty is going to turn against me this time?"
"I can't talk about turning my face, but it's also for the sake of the empire!"
Maximilian and William spoke to each other, and the other princes really couldn't even interject, even the Duke of Hesse, the strongest of these princes, Sunigo only had more than 30,000 troops under his command, and now he has defeated Austria and Prussia in France, and the army scattered in various places has nearly 100,000 troops, and there are two divisions in the Main region alone, plus two divisions in Bavaria and Prussia.
It can be said that Prussia has a strong advantage in the face of the Rhine princes, of course, unless the entire Rhine princes unite against Prussia, but obviously this is not possible.
William and Maximilian looked at each other reluctantly, and William only pressed on the handle of the knife and slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard, the sound of the knife making the atmosphere of the scene suddenly fall into a kind of strangeness, if no one between the two is willing to give in, then it is obvious that today is not just a simple parting.
Maximilian's eyelids twinked a few times, and the bruises on his forehead jumped, showing that Maximilian's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Well, since His Majesty is so well aware of righteousness, how about I take a step back!
But let His Majesty remember that the events of the day will be watched by all the princes of the Empire, and if there is any dissatisfaction with Prussia, it will not be able to stop it!
” Although Maximilian had to back down under William's coercion, this does not mean that Maximilian was willing to be humiliated by William, a prince asked to lead troops to search the emperor's palace, this is not humiliation or anything!

Therefore, Maximilian had to say a few slightly threatening words, but to Maximilian's surprise.
After William listened to his threatening words, the expression on William's face not only did not become ugly, but on the contrary, William's face actually showed a smile.
"This doesn't bother His Majesty the Emperor!
Under the order has been conveyed to the country.
From this month onwards, five divisions of Prussian troops will be stationed in the Main region, and any clown who dares to challenge the Prussian authority will be treated with the harshest treatment of the Prussian army!
” The warning in William's words was quite strong, and not only that, William then said: "That's right, Your Majesty the Emperor.
If I'm not mistaken, there are only four Electors left in the Empire, one Bishop of Cologne and one Archbishop of Trier.
In addition, I am both the Elector of Brandenburg and the Elector of Bohemia, and of course the Elector of Saxony has my vote, so I think we can hold a new election within the Reich!
” Hear William's words.
Maximilian's face changed dramatically.
The emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were not for life.
There is no doubt about this, according to the law, if the emperor is considered by more than half of the electors to be a danger to the interests of the whole Holy Roman Empire during his term of office, then these electors can reconvene the electoral assembly to elect a new emperor!
And the previous position of emperor on the head of Maximilian was obtained because of such a law, after all, Leopold II was still alive at that time.
At the same time, it was made clear that there was no room for maneuver between William and Maximilian, and although it was not yet to the point of dying, it was clear that the two had broken up openly.
"Carlo, take your men and surround the palace.
No one is allowed to leave or enter the palace, Horn.
You immediately take someone into the palace to search, and remember, those secret rooms are the most important places, and you must not miss them!
” After threatening Maximilian, William did not say a word to His Majesty the Emperor, whose face had turned iron blue, but immediately ordered his mission to those behind him.
Upon hearing William's order, Carlo immediately led his first regiment to spread out and impose martial law on the periphery of the Emperor's palace, while Hound personally led 2,000 Prussian soldiers into the palace to search.
Of course, before searching the palace, William also deliberately took care of Horn, that is, he must be civilized and must not appear barbaric, and must not leave a bad impression on others.
The reason why he made such an explanation to Horn was that William didn't want to upset Vivian by searching the palace, after all, Vivian also lived in the palace.
After Hound led the men and horses into action, more than a dozen chairs and sunshade fans were carried in front of William and the others, and William smiled and said to Maximilian and the other princes behind him: "Let's all rest, if it's inconvenient inside, it's good for us to bask in the sun outside!"
"Your Majesty, I declare once again that if you do not find the traitor you speak of in my palace, you will bear the consequences!"
William, who was already sitting in his chair, glanced at Maximilian and said: "There is no need for His Majesty the Emperor to worry about this, if that person is not found, then I will definitely express my heartfelt apologies to His Majesty the Emperor for today's actions!"
After speaking, William no longer paid attention to Maximilian, seeing William's attitude, Maximilian only felt that his heart was about to burst. ................................
Sitting in the carriage, Anna pale and holding the dagger in her hand, this dagger had followed Anna for many years, but in all these years, there had never been a time when Anna felt so frightened and uneasy as today.
The shouts outside the carriage were louder and louder, and not only that, but the shouts were accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves and the wailing of horses, and these sounds were so disturbing to Anna's ears.
Anna had never been on the battlefield, she didn't know what the battlefield was like, but in today's scene, even through the window of the carriage, Anna could still see the soldiers who had fallen off their horses because of their injuries, and the blood was like a stream that moistened the whole land.
Just as Anna was praying to God because of the war outside, Anna suddenly felt the carriage under her seat move.
Sensing this, Anna immediately opened the curtain and looked outside in horror.
Fortunately, when he saw the circle of black-robed people outside, Anna's heart was a lot more relieved.
These black-robed men may seem mysterious, but when Anna sees that these people get along well with the people who Werner has arranged to protect her, and they are guarding together, Anna knows that these people are not enemies.
But now the carriage was leaving the battlefield, a scene that Anna wanted to see, but she also sounded Werner, who had led a hundred royal guards to fight those enemies.
"Werner!
Warner!
Where is Werner!
” Anna pushed open the window of the carriage and shouted outside, and when she heard Anna's shout, she saw a black-robed man who was by Anna's window and hurriedly said: "Tell His Royal Highness Wang Shou.
We have come to protect you on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, and Captain Warner is holding back the enemy for us, and I ask Her Royal Highness not to panic.
We'll escort you out in no time!
” But these words did not serve any comfort in Anna's ears But Anna also knew that she didn't know anything about military strategy, and in this case, if she gave orders randomly.
It's undoubtedly dragging everyone down.
Just when Anna and the others had just left the battlefield.
Blanton also found out that he had been tricked, he originally thought that the enemies who had just appeared would join the battle, but apparently these enemies did not hesitate to abandon Werner's team and continue to escort Anna away, which was simply unacceptable to Blanton, because he knew that once he was left by the enemy, it would not be easy to attack Anna who had a guard.
"Quick, everyone immediately chased after the carriage.
Leave the carriage for me!

” Blanton shouted as he whipped the horse under his crotch fiercely, and pursued Anna and his group not far away.
And see Brandon's actions.
The nearly 500 men who followed behind Blanton also immediately followed their leader and rushed towards the biggest goal of their trip.
The leader of the black-robed men guarding Anna's carriage had already seen Blanton on the other side of the battlefield leading a large group of men and horses towards him and the others.
"You continue to escort Her Highness away, and the rest of the people will follow me!"
As he spoke, the black-robed man led three hundred black-robed men dressed the same as him to slowly slow down their horses and form a defensive line behind Anna's carriage.
And after these three hundred people left the team, the speed of the team not only did not slow down, but even immediately accelerated.
Werner couldn't support it anymore, under the siege of dozens of enemies, Werner's body was already full of wounds, watching Blanton lead people to rush from his side in the direction of Her Royal Highness, Werner gritted his teeth, and then ignored the enemies around him and rushed towards Blanton and the others.
There are less than twenty members of the royal guard behind Werner, but those who have been able to hold on until now can be said to be the elite of the royal guard, and these Prussians have dedicated their lives and loyalties to the Hohenzollern royal family.
With Werner's block, Blanton and the others did not move as quickly as Blanton imagined, and feeling that the momentum of his charge was blocked, Blanton could be called furious.
"Quick, clean up these guys for me immediately, leave the rest of the people alone, and continue to attack that carriage!"
Blanton roared and drew his saber and rushed towards Werner, who swore that he would look good at the guy in front of him who was blocking his path and didn't know whether he was alive or dead!
The exhausted Werner is naturally incompatible with Brandon, who has just joined the battlefield like a wolf, at least, in terms of strength, Werner can't match Brandon.
After holding on for a few rounds, although there was a strong belief in his heart, Werner really couldn't hold on, he didn't even have the strength to raise his arm, and soon Werner couldn't dodge and was slashed in the neck by Brandon, and the blood spurting out of the major artery not only soaked Brandon's sleeve, but even splashed Werner's own face.
Werner fell under the horse, and for this opponent, after Werner's death, Blanton didn't look at it at all, because Blanton knew that he had more important tasks to do at the moment!
After Blanton lit the wolf smoke, the sound of horses' hooves was also heard from the northeast of the battlefield, and after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Blanton's face was a little happy, because he knew that his reinforcements had arrived.
Sure enough, because the direction of Anna's carriage was to the northeast, the reinforcements from Blanton, who had been lured by the wolf smoke, were just on the path of Anna's carriage.
"All fight!"
With this shout, all the guards guarding Anna's carriage immediately formed a tight formation to protect Anna's carriage, and in front of Anna's carriage, a large number of armed men appeared on the battlefield.
After arriving at the battlefield, these armed men did not rush towards the soldiers guarding Anna on their horses, but when they were still about 300 meters away from Anna's carriage, 300 people stepped off their horses and set up a military formation on the plain, and the other part of the 200 cavalry was scattered on both flanks of the infantry formation, this scene was obviously the standard formation of the Prussian army, and this discovery also made the face of the leader of the black-robed men who guarded Anna even more ugly.
Five hundred people slowly pressed towards Anna's carriage, although the number was small, but the evil and murderous aura that erupted from these people still made people quite fearful.
And the people led by Blanton have also fought with the three hundred black-robed people who have just returned to meet them, although the troops are more than the black-robed people, but because the physical strength of these people under Blanton has been consumed to a certain extent, after fighting with these black-robed people, the two sides are like chess opponents, it can be said that if there is no accident in a short time, the two sides will maintain a stalemate.
In this way, all hope is in the five hundred men who have just arrived on the battlefield.
Others may not know the origin of these five hundred, but Blanton certainly does.
These 500 men were not only the elite of the 10th Prussian Division, but many of them had been trained by Dessau, and Blanton believed that these 500 men, although they did not seem to be much, would definitely be able to win against the black-robed men who were smaller than them.
As time passed, the shouting on the battlefield not only did not decrease, but even became louder, and Anna, who was sitting in the carriage, had silently lowered her head to hold her ears, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"My little Frederick, Father, help me!"
Some people will be particularly strong at some point, but when she feels that this strength is useless, although it will not collapse, but her psychology will definitely be greatly affected.
Although Anna knew that her fears were useless, she could not face it calmly, she was only a twenty-three-year-old girl, and in later life, there would not be many girls of this age who were married, let alone have children.
It is not an exaggeration to describe a twenty-three-year-old woman as torture to put such pressure under such pressure.
Soon the three hundred people guarding Anna's carriage fought with the five hundred enemies who attacked, although the combat effectiveness of the black-robed people was still quite good, but in the face of these soldiers who looked very elite, these black-robed people were still a little insufficient.
Sometimes, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is, when facing a skillfully coordinated combat group, although each of these black-robed men may be much higher than these enemies on the opposite side, but under the suppression of the military formation, they cannot exert their strong individual combat ability at all.
Just as the tide of battle was tilting more and more against Anna, only a loud trumpet was suddenly heard on the edge of the battlefield.
Hearing this military horn, everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
For Blanton, he knew that it was impossible for his reinforcements to show up with a military trumpet, because this would undoubtedly reveal his identity, which would be very disadvantageous for Dessau.
And for Anna's side, there is a great possibility that the sound of the military horn is not her own people, after all, these enemies who are besieging her group at the moment are the elite army in terms of skill, weapons and equipment, and mental outlook, which means that at least in Bohemia, the army is not on Anna's side.
The sudden sound of the military horn disrupted the rhythm of the entire battlefield, but the battle was still to be fought.
