Chapter 1004 - 514: The Imperial Parliament and Approaching Universal Law_2
Louis XI said, "If I can think of this, other nations will think of this too, and so will the powerful hidden in the forest."
"I want them to tire themselves out for our kingdom, then we’ll take the opportunity to capture Alsace and push into the Empire, seizing the sleeping chambers of the seven Electors and the Emperor."
The Archbishop hesitated, "Isn’t this too risky?"
At this moment, the Grand Chancellor suddenly expressed his stance. "Actually, I support His Majesty. Ordinary nations might indeed not be able to accomplish such a monumental task, but the Kingdom of Frank, united from top to bottom, everyone contributes to the Frankish nation, they will definitely understand His Majesty’s intentions."
The Archbishop said, "But... I always have doubts."
Louis XI opened the tent door, where his army was stationed on a plain, but the spread of the Black Death within the army was already very severe, even the Frankish Law seemed to have lost most of its effectiveness at this time, becoming purely a psychological comfort.
Inside the army, soldiers infected with the Black Death lay next to the tents, placing their legs on the muddy ground, allowing the sunlight to shine down on them in hopes of alleviating some of their pain.
The faces of these soldiers were filled with immense pain.
However, when they saw the Emperor, their expressions became spirited, they all rose from the ground, shouting towards Emperor Louis XI, "Long live Frank, long live the Emperor!"
Each soldier, upon seeing the Emperor, felt honored, even though they were in dire straits, but at that moment, they felt like they were part of the strongest nation in the world.
In Frank, the Emperor was no longer the protector of humanity but solely the protector of the Frankish nation.
