Chapter 158: Family affection is only called when it is needed
Leonid, the bearded man who has always been steady and unchaotic, as the final decision-maker of the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, stood up with a few gaffes, obviously the news brought by Paulina made him a little difficult to accept for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He frowned, paced back and forth uneasily, stopping from time to time to look at Adam Levine, who was at a loss, and then paced again.
"How is this possible? How could he be allowed to return to the imperial capital!! ”
"Yes! I also know the rumors that the eldest prince is forbidden to return to the imperial capital without permission, but His Majesty is going to have a big birthday, so isn't it a normal thing for him to return to the emperor, it's not a big deal! Seeing that the bearded Leonid suddenly got up, and paced with an uneasy face, Adam Levine, who knew his way of doing things, also felt that there was a hint of something wrong in this matter, and at this moment his face did not have the kind of relief just now.
Looking at the dazed head of Adam Levine, the bearded Leonid leonid leaned heavily into the chair, glanced at the former helplessly, and said. "You don't understand! You don't understand! You really don't understand anything! In the past few years, in order to earn the title of legend, you have become very slow to do things other than magic! ”
"Adam, do you know this great prince, he has been forbidden to return to the imperial capital since he was sent to lead the army, and without His Majesty's permission, all acts of returning to the imperial capital without permission are regarded as rebellion."
"Just such a seemingly simple order, this great prince who has been leading troops all the year round, known as the most powerful person to compete for the throne, has been confined outside this imperial capital for nearly twenty years, and now Paulina says that he is back, don't you understand what it means?"
"You don't understand, I'll tell you! This means that the rumor that His Majesty will decide the heir after this birthday is true and reliable news! ”
"Now you're in a pulp, and your head has to think about it! Got it! ”
After saying it in one breath, the bearded Leonid glared at the dazed Adam Levine as if he hated iron and steel, with an expression that you knew you specialized in magic and didn't know anything else.
In the complaining gaze of the bearded Leonid, Adam Levine smiled brightly, he also knew that over the years, he had left nothing about the affairs of the mercenary group, and without the former to maintain the operation of the entire mercenary group, I believe that the Golden Lion Mercenary Group would have lost the title of the legendary mercenary group long ago.
But for a moment he was suddenly asked to accept these strange things, and Captain Adam Levine was now a little difficult, his wriggling lips looked at the former, and then at Paulina, still looking at the two of them with some confusion. "Isn't that normal? It is impeccable that any prince is eligible to compete for the throne until His Majesty the Emperor has not decided on an heir. ”
"Don't take us for fools, these words, it's okay for you to let the old fox of Zuo Xiang deceive the young man who doesn't know anything, I'm not an idiot." The bearded Leonid said angrily, obviously he was frustrated that he had just wasted his tongue for a long time, and Adam Levine still didn't understand much.
"Adam, tell you this! You should know that the empire's army is mainly composed of thirteen combat legions of more than 100,000 people as the core, ten of which are stationed on the borders of the empire to protect the security of the empire, two are stationed near the imperial capital, and one of them is stationed in this Barstow city, you should know this! Looking at Adam Levine, who was still not very clear, the bearded Leonid sighed helplessly, and crossed his fingers to say it carefully.
"I know that! It's a well-known thing! Head Adam Levine nodded.
"Then do you know that eight of the thirteen great legions were once served by the Great Prince, except for the three legions of the Imperial Capital and Bosque, that is to say, eight of the ten Great Princes have stayed or he has commanded." Looking at the head of the regiment with a dazed face, the bearded Leonid stretched out his index finger and thumb and shook it in front of him.
"The characteristics of the Imperial Legion are that the grassroots generals are stationed in place, and the senior generals are transferred to other legions irregularly for three or five years, that is, maybe this year you will be stationed in Berkeley in the east, but next year you may go to Gauld to be stationed in the west. In this way, the orders of the legion must be transferred to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, so even the commander of the legion does not have the right to transfer the legion privately. ”
After explaining the details of one of them to Captain Adam Levine in detail, the bearded Leonid looked at the former. "You should understand what I said!"
The latter nodded angrily when he heard this.
Ignoring the resentment in the former's gaze, the bearded Leonid continued. "But there is one person who is not among them, and this person is the great prince who is known as the invincible god of war. Because among all the princes, only the eldest prince has the experience of leading the army to fight outside, and only he has ever been the commander of eight of these thirteen legions, and only he has actually had military power! ”
After hearing the news from the bearded Leonid for the first time, Captain Adam Levin was stunned for a moment, and then he asked as if he had caught some loophole in his words.
"It can't be! You said that a senior general would not listen to the orders of the commander at that time without an army transfer order, so why can he actually have the power to mobilize the army! ”
"Because he was born in the royal family, because he is a prince, because he is the only prince among many princes who has the experience of fighting side by side with the low-level soldiers, and has the experience of leading the troops in the real sense! So do you think these low-level soldiers, will they listen to an inheritor who doesn't know anything and can only point fingers and talk, or will they listen to an inheritor who has rich combat experience and goes deep into the bottom to know the difficulties and worries of low-level soldiers! ”
"I believe it's not a difficult choice!"
The bearded Leonid kept tapping his fingers on the table as he looked at Commander Adam Levine, who was growing in surprise. "In the past, he was not allowed to return to the imperial capital, and even only allowed to return once when his mother was seriously ill, which may be a kind of disgust and a kind of rejection in the eyes of others. But now it was different, he was recalled to the imperial capital, and he was also allowed to attend His Majesty's birthday banquet, which was a signal in the eyes of others, a signal that he could participate in the battle for the throne. ”
"Leonid is not wrong at all, once he participates in this battle for the throne, his strength is the strongest! The threat of a full eight legions, that's why the old man on the left is eager to win you over. ”
"Because as long as the eldest prince does not return to the legion, then he is a toothless tiger and there is nothing to worry about, so in the current situation, the two legions stationed near the imperial capital are very important at this moment! But how can he feel that these two legions are blatantly reaching out to intervene, so in this case, our mercenary regiments that have been stationed in Barstow City all year round are particularly important. The red-haired Paulina, who had been listening to the bearded Leonid on the side, couldn't help but interject at the moment.
Looking at Captain Adam Levine, who was still a little confused, Paulina suddenly stood up, opened her arms, and looked down at the former with great pride.
"And our Golden Lion Mercenary Regiment is not only the strongest mercenary group in this Barstow City, but also in the entire Opdoth Empire!"
"We have a force that no one can ignore, our golden lion alone is enough to be worth a legion, and we are not restricted by military discipline, we can even partially ignore the law, and we can enter and leave the imperial capital at any time."
Hearing this, Adam Levine suddenly came to his senses, leaned back in his chair, raised his head and stared blankly at the dark roof, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was talking to the two of them.
"Small-scale scuffles, stalemate battles, street battles, and elite battles are what our Golden Lion Mercenary Group is good at! This is what Lord Zuo Xiang values me! ”
Looking at Captain Adam Levine, who had only suddenly realized at this time, Paulina leaned down, supported her hands on the armrests of the former's chair, stared at the former with a pair of bright eyes, and said slowly.
"In a word, far water can't quench your thirst! As long as the eldest prince is trapped in this imperial capital, even if he has more military power, it will be in vain. I think that's why the old man on the left has been looking for you so often lately, I don't want you to be foolishly toyed with by that old man. ”
"But now we are only a few hundred people in Barstow City, and if it weren't for the tens of thousands of people who live in Tugai, we are not qualified to participate in this chaos, and we will all die here if we are not careful. Besides, I have been in contact with this prestigious prince for a long time, he is indeed a genius in the use of soldiers, and the army is in his hands, even if all the members of our entire Golden Lion Mercenary Group are together, it is not enough to see. Seeing that Adam didn't speak for a long time, the bearded Leonid couldn't help but persuade him. Besides, don't forget, who brought him to where he is now! That person, there may not be a few people in the entire continent who can afford to mess with it! ”
In the patient persuasion of the bearded Leonid, the head of Adam Levin finally clearly understood the grim situation he was currently facing, and suddenly, a nameless irritability came over him, and he waved his hand impatiently, signaling the former to stop talking.
"Okay, okay, I know what you two said, I'll think about it carefully."
Faced with the accusations of the bearded Leonid and Paulina, Adam Levine's face suddenly became a little unbearable, but he couldn't say anything for a while, and finally looked for other topics with interest.
"By the way, Leonid, you know the Krezer boy very well! Can you give me a little bit of that mysterious magic power rough stone, I want to study it carefully, how can there be such an anti-heaven spare, why am I not impressed at all! ”
"Stop, stop! Don't mention this matter, my face is about to be lost tonight, it is taboo to explore other people's secrets at will, this is an unwritten agreement in private, but you and I just did this thing, and I am still the elder of the family, people come to send me a letter from thousands of miles away, but I cooperate with the two elders to explore its biggest secret, you still let me ask for other people's treasures, I don't want this face! As soon as he heard Adam's proposal, the bearded Leonid suddenly jumped to his feet in anger and pointed to his nose to count his nos. Why don't you go and ask for it yourself? I don't want to be a bad guy anymore. ”
"You think I don't want to, not to mention the legendary Archmage Stiller Wolfe Mitty, whose whereabouts have been famous for a long time, if you had seen the man who rescued him, you wouldn't dare think so!" Captain Adam Levine gave the former an angry look, with an expression that would have been said if you were there.
"What do you mean by that?" Leonid, who was originally a little angry, was immediately interested when he heard Adam Levine's words be so serious.
"Have you ever heard of anyone who survived the Thunder Magic Attack?"
"Have you ever heard of someone who can save someone in the moment when the lightning magic is backlashing?"
"Have you ever seen a character that even the right minister can't stop yet?"
A series of questions spat out of the mouth of Adam Levine, and the bearded Leonid was a little confused. Seeing the former who was stunned as he watched the spittle stars flying around, even Paulina's face had the same expression.
"How is it possible, Lord Right is the Light Saint who has won the legendary title, and he is also the top powerhouse among the thirteen who has won the legendary title, how many people dream of the title, without the corresponding strength, he can't get this title at all, and no one can take people away without his consent in front of his eyes." After listening to Adam Levine's words, the bearded Leonid suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and retorted with a look of disbelief.
"Isn't that the legendary Space System Law Saint also good?" Captain Adam Levine had a look on his face, and you knew you would look at the former with such an expression.
"What? Space system law saint? Impossible, how could it be, isn't space magic known as the most difficult to appear magic saints! Hearing the words of Adam Levine, the bearded Leonid gradually calmed down, and he looked at the former suspiciously and asked.
"You also said that it is the hardest to appear, not the impossible!" Seeing that the bearded Leonid also began to move, Adam Levine shook his shoulders proudly, as if it was a proud thing to see a space saint.
"How can you tell if that person is a Space Saint?" Seeing Adam Levine's very positive look, the bearded Leonid was still a little reluctant to find some mistakes to refute.
