"I think... In fact, if we don't take the initiative to break the balance of the Elok Territory, the Undead Legion will not attack the city so quickly, why don't we allow ourselves to exist for a little longer, maybe there will be another turnaround?"

Minnie Vatu's flat tone was filled with some anticipation, "Maintain the current situation, Pedy Reagan will not dare to risk sending troops easily, and the undead army will not dare to attack our city at will, maybe... We can drag on like this until the war between the elves and the main forces of the undead legion is over. ”

"Both elves and undead have almost permanent lives, do you think we can afford to spend them?" Fipert-Bob shook his head, "I'd rather take a risk when the situation is clear than trust my hope for an unknown tomorrow." ”

"However, if we send troops to storm the Immortal Legion, there may be another possibility. Minnie Wattle's tone changed.

"What is possible?"

"It is also possible that Pedy Reagan will see this plan and send his main force directly to Iruk City and take over the command of the war under the name of the 'Confederate Army'. ”

"Well," Faportt-Bob was visibly stunned, and then said, "It would be nice if that was the case, at least it would end my dream early and bring me back to reality." ”

"Have you made up your mind?" Minnie Vatu sat up straight, looking at Fiportt Bob across from her.

"Yes!"

...

In early July, much of the Eastern Continent starts to get hot.

Crewe City is now the commercial, political, and cultural center of the eastern part of the mainland. Under the influence of the Pedi Reagan royal power, after the outbreak of the war with the undead legions, the humans of the Eastern Continent almost subconsciously wanted to flee to Crewe City to seek the protection of the royal power.

Unknowingly, everyone, including elves and orcs, will subconsciously add the title of 'king' when calling Pedy Reagan.

Fort Kaval, where the giant bear flag flies in the wind, overlooking the city.

In the castle garden courtyard of the king's palace,

Pedi woke up in a state of weariness, no longer looking at the dirty tent roof, and no longer in his nostrils the foul stench of the camp.

The ceiling with its beautifully carved frescoes and the faint scent of flowers enchanted Pei Di in an instant.

"What are these paintings?" said Pedy's voice, with a hint of ethereal.

"What do you see?" said Erin Phil, lying flat next to Pedi, staring at the mural on the ceiling.

Pedi thought for a few seconds and said, "What I see is... A group of beautiful angels frolicking in the garden. ”

"Yes, pure and beautiful angels... What I saw was the divinity of the angels, each of whom almost had an independent gesture to express their respective existence. Erin Field's voice at the moment was like a whisper in the casting of a spell.

"This is what the scholars call 'thousands of pictures'?" Pei Di reacted suddenly.

"Yes, after you left, you specially ordered people to work day and night to get it out... This painting was made by 200 artists, and each figure in it was conceived by a separate artist and then carved by me after passing the examination. Erin Phier propped herself up and looked at her husband sideways, "How's it going?"

"That's good!" Pei Di looked at his wife's sparkling gaze, looked at her delicate face waiting for his praise, and couldn't help but tease, "Everyone else puts such a painting in the hall, why do you put it in the bedroom?"

"This is what I got to admire myself, why is it in the hall, and... Don't you think that everything seems to be beautiful every morning when you wake up and see this picture?" said Eileenfield, who lay down again, blinking her eyes at the mural on the ceiling.

"Well, that makes sense!" Peddy nodded very seriously, and Erin Phier glanced at her husband and didn't take the teasing, and the person slowly approached her husband unconsciously.

Soon, the two snuggled together.

For a long time afterward, the two did not speak again, until... When the bell rang for the castle knights' guards to assemble for training, Pei Di reluctantly let go of his wife.

"Pee-paddle" Pedi stepped barefoot on the bedroom carpet, and after stepping out of bed and taking a few steps, he habitually looked at the calendar on the bedside table, which showed number 5.

The calendar showing the number 5 was torn up by Eileen Field, revealing the number 6 underneath.

"What happened when I left?" said Pedi as he walked to the window and pulled back the curtains, looking at the natural and beautiful clusters of flowers in the courtyard below.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Sir Edwin Filming, chancellor of the exchequer, is desperately trying to cover up evidence of his smuggling of pig iron and grain while you are leaving Kawalburg. Eileen Phil also walked to the window, and she pushed it open to let the crisper air flow into the room.

Pedi chuckled and asked, "And how did he cover it up?"

"Almost, anyway, the current police station can't do anything about him. Erin Phier shrugged, then looked at her husband and asked, "Are you really going to let him go, I've seen the documents submitted by the police department, and it's not a small amount." ”

"And what do you think you should do, hang him?" Pedi shook his head.

Puzzled, Irene said, "I just know that if you don't do anything about it, you can't explain it to the officials who are in charge... It won't be long before they'll all be emulating what Edwin Felling has done before. ”

"Didn't we hang a group of smugglers in the name of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau in Balan? Pedi smiled flatly, "I believe that their death will make some greedy people stay quiet for a while." ”

"That's... And after all this time?"

Pedi shook his head, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Edwin Filmin can't give orders from me to arrest him, because all of his titles are now added by me personally. ”

Erin Fil was stunned, "For the so-called royal face?"

"Sometimes, the majesty of royal power is more important than the boxes of krona. Pedi shrugged.

"But you know he's no longer fit for the Chancellor of the Exchequer..."

"No, you're wrong, Edwin Filmin is now the most suitable candidate for Chancellor of the Exchequer, but soon he will no longer be suitable. Pedy looked at Secretary General Otwood, who was quietly waiting in the courtyard, "I've found an opponent for him, a... can defeat his opponents. ”

"Sir Don Wright?"

"The police department is clearly not fit to be involved in this matter. Pedi shook his head, "My opponent for Sir Filin is now in Herien. ”

"Herion?" Irene Phil was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Is it Baron Aemond?"

"It's him!" Peddy nodded and walked to his dressing room on the left hand side of the bedroom, "It's been a long time since I've had a special pastry with your design, did you have it this morning?"

"Of course, do you eat first, or do you train as a knight?" replied to her husband as she rang the bedside bell.

"Let's finish the knight's training. As he spoke, Pedi pushed open the door and entered his dressing room through a separate corridor of only two meters, where the King's squire and the knight of Rory Greda had been waiting for a long time.

...

Eight o'clock in the morning,

Pedi arrived at the King's office half an hour later than usual.

A red-marked document on the desk immediately caught Pedy's attention, and he put down the coffee he had just brewed and leaned back on the edge of his desk to open it.

The mark at the beginning of the document was somewhat unexpected, as he thought it was a record of the Prime Minister's government's discussion of the 'Report on the Restructuring of Local Government' presented by Saike-Marat and approved by him himself.

The document was information about the Eluk Territory, and the contents recorded in it were even more surprising to Pedi.

"Has the military department discussed this information?" said Paddy, who flipped through the pages and sat down, patted the document with his right hand that had been put back on his desk, and asked Secretary General Otwood.

"Yes, a report was written by the General Staff of the Military Department. Oldwood pointed to the document, "It's at the bottom of this document." ”

Peddy took a sip of coffee and opened the file again.

This time, he looked more carefully, and at the end of the document he found the report of the military department.

"Well... It's okay. ”

The information was recorded that the Suluk Duchy would launch an assault on the undead legions gathered in the western part of Elok during the middle of the month.

The General Staff of the Military Department proposed similar to the content in the knight's textbook, which can be described in one sentence: observe the situation first, wait for the situation to change in the battle situation in Aerouk City before making a decision.

"Is there any document from the Prime Minister's government?" asked Pedi after putting the document down and thinking for a few minutes.

Ottwood was stunned for a moment and then subconsciously replied: "Of course, most of the documents on your desk are sent by the Prime Minister's government. Then, the young knight suddenly reacted to the reason for the king's question, and hurriedly added: "The secretary of the Prime Minister's government has personally come to inform him just now, and he will submit a report on the 'urban restructuring' before three o'clock this afternoon. ”

Hearing this, Pei Di threw down a document he had just picked up, leaned against his office and frowned, saying: "If I guess correctly, the copy submitted by Saike-Mara on 'urban restructuring' has already arrived at the Prime Minister's Government at the end of last month, and I also remember that I personally gave instructions to listen to their report as soon as possible... It's the 7th today, and if that's how efficient the Prime Minister's government is, maybe I should consider removing Sir Bipp from the Prime Minister as soon as possible. ”

Otwood's eyelids jumped when he heard these words, and he hurriedly said, "I'm going to urge it..."

Pedy picked up the paper he threw down and said casually, "Just send a castle guard and tell Sir Bipp exactly what he just said." ”

Then Peddy said, "Tell Sir Bipp that he has an hour left... An hour later, let Sir Marne, Morinda and Baron Hanina come to this office. ”

...

The lounge outside the principal's office at Crewe City Noncommissioned Officer Academy has been crowded with visitors since six o'clock this morning.

As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are characters with heads and faces in Crewe City.

For example, Chancellor of the Exchequer Edwin Film, Sir Fit, the highest minister of the town of Seka, who reported in the Prime Minister's government, Baron Bavi, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and so on.

It was already half-past eight when Cowlier arrived in his office, and Cowlier refused to see everyone except Chancellor of the Exchequer, Edwin Film.

Edwin Filmin has changed a lot, and his hair, which he used to dye often, hasn't paid much attention to it recently, and the white threads have made him a lot older.

"What's wrong with your finances?" Collier had seen Edwin Filmin untrimmed before, so he didn't seem surprised, but he still couldn't help but tease: "No, a bottle of plateau sesame oil doesn't cost much, look at your appearance, even if you don't want to dye your hair, you should trim your beard." ”

"I got up in a bit of a hurry today and forgot. Edwin Filmin shook his head with a wry smile, and subconsciously wiped his beard, the feeling of pricking his hand even frowned.

"Sit down, there is no tea or coffee today, because I have to see Your Majesty in half an hour. Cowlier beckoned Edwin Filmin to sit down and walked over to his desk to open a sealed document and flip through it.

"My friend, I have received information that His Majesty intends to set out to combat urban crime and official corruption. Edwin Filmin couldn't sit still, he stood up and walked to Cowlier's desk, bowed like a subordinate and asked, "Is that so?"

"I warned you early on not to stay with those people. Collier raised his eyelids and looked at his political ally helplessly, "You always think you're smart, do you think the whole world revolves around you at such an age?"

Edwin Filmin opened his mouth several times to refute Cowlier's words, but in the end he could only wait for Cowlier to finish before retorting: "I admit that I was a little overconfident some time ago to offend some people, but... My friend, you should know me as a person, and my devotion to His Majesty can be testified to by the gods, and you can testify to it. ”

"I can't prove your loyalty, you have to prove your loyalty. Collier put down the papers in his hand, "There's no doubt about your ability, but... To gain His Majesty's complete trust, you must first prove that you are trustworthy. ”

"How? Isn't what I'm doing now enough to prove it?"

"It's because you've done so much, and you have to do a lot of things that you don't have to do! You have to prove that no matter how much power you get, you won't be able to affect Your Majesty's royal power, but you... It can't be proven. Cowlir shrugged, "Your Majesty no longer trusts the aristocracy with a large family behind you, haven't you noticed? ”

Edwin Filmin was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, "You mean..."

Collier immediately shook his head, "I didn't say anything... You don't have to make such a hellish expression, no matter how much the power of the knight class is strengthened, it is indispensable to restrain their power existence. ”
