I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 264 Berlin Envoy

"Lord Alpha, according to the latest intelligence from the front, the envoys sent from Berlin have arrived. They can't wait to meet you and convey vital matters." The soldier's tone revealed obvious nervousness, because he knew very well that the visit of the Berlin envoys was of great significance and might be closely related to the direction of the entire situation.

Lord Alpha frowned slightly, secretly guessing Berlin's intentions. He knew that this meeting could be a critical turning point, and any decision could have far-reaching consequences.

Originally, Alpha planned to rest on the spot and wait for the right time to act. However, the crisis in Berlin forced him to re-examine his plan. He knew that resolving the Berlin crisis might involve himself in greater risks.

Lord Alpha glanced at the soldier, then nodded slightly, signaling him to bring the messenger in. The soldier obeyed and left quickly. A moment later, a messenger dressed in gorgeous clothes entered the hall under the guidance of the soldier.

"Governor Alpha, I've long heard of your name! I never thought you could force the mutants into such a desperate situation." The messenger turned out to be the old acquaintance, the Third Prince Williams, and the leader of the Angel Wings, Yagunas.

"Governor Alpha, how are you?" Envoy Yagunas came forward, saluted Lord Alpha, and then respectfully handed over a sealed letter. Lord Alpha took the letter, opened the seal, and read the contents carefully. His expression gradually became solemn, as if the news in the letter was not optimistic.

After reading the letter, Lord Alpha raised his head, stared at Williams with a sharp gaze, and slowly asked: "Third Prince, why did you come here in person?" He knew in his heart that the other party's purpose was not simple, but he didn't know why they would send a prince to come in person.

Williams took a deep breath and answered sincerely: "My lord, Berlin is facing an unprecedented crisis. The shadow of war is shrouding our city, and the people are living in dire straits. We are in urgent need of your outstanding wisdom and powerful strength, and hope you can lend a helping hand.

Williams took a deep breath and replied solemnly, "Your Excellency, Berlin is in an unprecedented crisis. The dark clouds of war are gathering, casting a shadow over our city, and the people live in the shadow of fear all day long. We urgently need your wisdom and strength, and we hope that you can lend a helping hand and give us hope to get out of this predicament."

Lord Alpha was silent for a while, frowning, and fell into deep thought. He knew that the crisis in Berlin was not limited to this city, and its impact might spread to a wider area. He had to carefully weigh various factors and formulate a wise response strategy.

"I will seriously consider your request." Lord Alpha finally spoke slowly, "However, I need more detailed information to understand the specific situation of the war and your urgent needs."

Williams smiled with relief, and he quickly responded, "Governor, we will do our best to provide you with all the information you need. The fate of Berlin is in your hands. We firmly believe that your wisdom and courage will lead us through the difficulties and move towards a bright future."

"Your Highness, Captain, you have been traveling all the way and must be exhausted. You should take a break and recuperate!" Alpha obviously did not intend to discuss this matter at this moment. His tone was firm and resolute.

After arranging matters related to Prince Williams, Alpha called Monkey and Ferold to ask them about the situation of the German Empire. Through questioning, Alpha learned that the king of the German Empire was old and weak, and would abdicate in ten years at most.

Currently, the king has more than a dozen princes, among whom there are five who are most likely to inherit the throne, namely the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince and the ninth prince. Among them, the eldest prince, the fifth prince and the ninth prince are the strongest, while the other two princes have only been favored by the king in the past two years, but more people are not optimistic about them.

"Lord Alpha, are you considering who will be the future king?" Ferod was not very clear about these situations, but he still knew some inside information.

"Yes, now as long as we attack the mutants' rear, the crisis in the entire southern part of the empire will be resolved. By then, we have occupied so much territory, how should we choose?" Alpha never thought of occupying the German mainland, but he did not intend to give up the benefits he had already gained. He needed to find someone to rely on.

"Lord Alpha, I heard that the eldest prince is respectful and courteous to the wise and has a good reputation in the empire and has the support of many people. The fifth prince has made outstanding military achievements and has the support of the military and border troops. The ninth prince has a strong family background and is supported by many large families. These three people are the strongest and most likely to obtain the throne of the empire." Ferold explained. However, he also reminded Alpha that these were just rumors and were not necessarily reliable. To understand the real situation, further investigation and analysis were needed.

In addition, Ferold also mentioned that the political situation in the German Empire was very complicated, and the struggles between the princes were extremely fierce. When choosing a target to join, many factors need to be considered, not only their strength and support rate, but also their personality, policies, and future development potential. At the same time, you should also be careful to avoid getting involved in the struggles between the princes, so as not to get stuck in it.

Alpha's understanding of the Third Prince was limited to a superficial understanding, but judging from his current performance, the Third Prince was quite good, at least he did not have the kind of arrogant and conceited manner that people disliked. This made Alpha feel more favorable towards him and he did not dislike interacting with him.

"The third prince was born to the king's most beloved concubine, and the king's love for him is beyond words. However, because his mother was born a commoner, the ministers in the court looked down on him, causing him to be marginalized and difficult to have a place in the court." Ferold was not optimistic about the future of the third prince. In his opinion, the third prince had nothing, neither extraordinary talent nor a strong background or strength.

"Well, arrange a secret room for me. I want to meet the third prince." Alpha was pressed for time and could not conduct a comprehensive investigation of the third prince. He could only take it one step at a time.

In that dim little room, the Third Prince seemed a little uneasy, but Alpha did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "Third Prince, are you dissatisfied with your current situation?"

The third prince looked up in astonishment, his eyes flashing with a complex emotion of having his thoughts discovered: "How did you know?"

"That doesn't matter," Alpha waved his hand to interrupt his question. "What matters is whether you have the determination to change the status quo and become a true king?"

The Third Prince was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Of course I hope so, but...what virtue and ability do I have to take on such an important task?"

"Talent can be cultivated, and background can be created." Alpha raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, "The key lies in your determination and willingness."

The third prince took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision: "Okay, I'm willing to try."

"Very good." Alpha nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing a kind of determination and confidence. "In the coming days, I will arrange a series of tasks for you, which will help improve your ability and prestige. At the same time, I will also assist you in establishing the necessary interpersonal network."

An unprecedented power surged in the heart of the Third Prince. He knew that this was a rare opportunity that might completely change his fate. He said gratefully, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely do my best and live up to your expectations."

Although the third prince has a simple personality, he also understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

"I need the support of the Empire. I long for access to the sea and naval ports. I hope to develop eastward, and this requires the full support of the Empire." Alpha expressed his needs frankly. In fact, he did not really rely on the help of the German Empire, but he needed time and a legitimate reason to realize his plan.

"Governor Alpha, do you have the idea of ​​developing maritime power?" His Royal Highness the Third Prince showed some surprise, because everyone knew Alpha's talent in military affairs, but the naval field was a completely new challenge for him.

"Yes, I will cooperate with England to fight against the maritime overlord." Alpha shared his plan without any reservation.

"If Alpha, you have the intention to develop the navy, I will fully support you, and the entire empire will also fully support you." In this crisis, everyone knows that this is a provocation of the maritime alliance to the land hegemon. Even if they understand the situation, the empire can do nothing. Therefore, the empire will inevitably support Alpha in developing the navy.

"Okay, now we can discuss the current crisis. Can Yagunas be trusted?" Alpha turned his eyes to Yagunas who had been following Williams, his heart full of curiosity.

"Agunas is the person I trust the most. He is my mother's brother and my uncle," Williams explained in a firm tone.

"Okay, then let's let Yagunas and Quinn join the discussion." Alpha thought to himself. The current situation was complicated and Williams obviously couldn't intervene directly. Someone had to do it personally. The participation of Yagunas and Quinn might bring new ideas to solve the problem.

"Prince William, I have always had a question, why are you the one on this mission? And at such a critical moment?" Alpha's eyes were sharp, and he was puzzled by Williams' actions. If he left at this time, there might be rumors that he had betrayed the empire, and at this critical moment, any action could lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Governor Alpha, the main purpose of my trip this time is to seek reinforcements to rescue Berlin, for the people, and for the future of the empire." Williams looked sincere, and did not seem to understand Alpha's implication.
