Tina rode on a tall horse, surrounded by Leonard and others, led more than 20,000 rebels along the way, asking, "What kind of person do you say that Sean will be?"

Hanks didn't think much about it for a moment, and replied as a matter of course: "In my opinion, that Sean must be a bearded, meaty, strong, and muscular general." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the peasant rebel army, only this figure was able to convince the public. ”

Thinking that all leaders should be forcefully howling, he strongly agreed with such a statement, and echoed loudly: "That's right. Who wants to listen to a helpless man?"

Cliff couldn't agree with Hanks's point of view, and thought about what to say to please Tina for a moment before he spoke: "Not necessarily. The combat power of a powerful mage is definitely not inferior to that of a muscular general. More importantly, the mage also has an excellent mind and wisdom. Even if you are leading a group of farmers, you need wisdom. So I think Sean should be a powerful mage wearing a robe, a solemn expression, and meticulous in handling things. ”

Tina, who is a mage, heard this, and echoed Cliff with great joy: "Yes. I think so too. ”

Seeing this, Leonard slyly closed one of his eyes, smiled and asked the others: "That Sean claims to be a descendant of the royal family, a prominent nobleman of the Lars Empire, if the image is as you say, does he still have a face?"

When Tina heard this, she suddenly came to her senses and asked with great interest: "Ray." So, what do you think Sean should look like?"

Leonard, like a wise strategist, stretched out his right hand and stroked his chin slowly, asking a rhetorical question with a contemplative, calm, and smiling face. "If this person is not a dignified, personable, and aristocratic son, how can he make his followers believe that he is a descendant of the royal family?"

When Hanks heard this, he strongly questioned Leonard: "You know, this Sean is not a real royal descendant at all, not even a nobleman, just a reckless horseman." Where did the commoner-born guy get his aristocratic temperament!?"

Leonard listed his own set of reasons and retorted, "Do you bet it? That's why he needs to pretend to be more like a nobleman than a nobleman. For example, riding a white horse and wearing glittering armor from top to bottom. "The white horse in this world refers to a dinosaur-like bipedal herbivore with albinism, which is very rare compared to ordinary green-skinned horses.

Obviously, Hanks couldn't win Leonard's tongue, but still thought he was right: "I don't bet with you. But you're doomed. ”

Not to be outdone, Leonard replied: "Then we'll wait and see." "Although the Great Swordsman and the middle-aged uncle have temporarily shaken hands and made peace, their attitudes towards the world and the angle from which they observe things are different, so the differences are still the same. At this moment, a team of lights suddenly appeared in front of Tina. Some of the flag-bearers in this team also held several large flags high in the wind, and wrote: Warmly welcome the arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As far as the eye could see, I saw a handsome young man riding a tall white horse, dressed in glittering brass armor, with long flowing black hair, and a handsome appearance, who had broken away from the colorful procession and galloped towards him, beckoning and shouting respectfully: "Your Highness Princess!" -- Your Highness Sean was too busy with official business to greet Her Highness in person, and I was deeply ashamed that Your Highness had come in person. ”

Tina looked at Sean and couldn't help but be amazed, and found that this man was exactly the same as Leonard's description, a handsome guy who wanted a face and a figure, so she turned over and dismounted with great joy, and replied excitedly: "Sean, please don't be so polite." Just call me by name. ”

Sean galloped to Tina's eyes with a radiant horse, turned over and dismounted, and took several big strides one after another, knelt down on one knee in front of the princess, maintained a very elegant demeanor, and greeted and flattered with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness, how can this be done? Your Highness is Your Highness." You know, Your Highness, you are the future and hope of our Lars Empire. ”

Tina took a closer look and found that Sean's gestures were relatively hasty, far from being as calm and chic as Tux; he was also a lot shorter in height, only his face had a fight, and the overall feeling was more feminine; Leonard and Bran, two raunchy guys, would not be much worse than this one if they were willing to dress up.

The handsome man's shiny gold and bronze armor and the tall white horse under his seat gave the female mage the illusion when she looked at it from afar, so there were many extra points for his first image.

Tina reminded Sean with a slight sense of disappointment: "I am not the future and hope of the Lars Empire. The future and hope of Lars belongs to all the people, and we all create it with our own hands. ”

Sean's attitude was unusually sincere, his eyes staring at Tina's eyes with affection, and in order to try his best to please the object in front of him, he said a lot of high-sounding words: "Your Royal Highness, Princess." You're so wise. What you said is just too profound. Even if Lars' future and hope belong to the entire nation.

You are also the brightest sun and the most noble and holy princess in your courtier's personal opinion. Your Majesty is willing to always follow in your footsteps and always obey your wise leadership. Then the handsome man took the left hand of the mage with his right hand, and kissed the back of the princess's hand with his lips.

Sean's overly courteous words and actions made Tina feel uncomfortable. So she looked at the handsome guy's face with a serious expression, and bluntly denied the other party's words: "Sean." Please don't be so polite. Just call me by name and that's fine.

And I am not the sun you think I am, nor will I be a princess, empress, or empress. For what we want to build is a peaceful kingdom where all people can live and work in peace and contentment, like a paradise, and no longer ruled by any emperor or king. Do you understand?"

When Sean heard this, his position changed very quickly, and then he turned his tongue and catered to Tina's wishes with beautiful words: "Your Majesty understands." Her Royal Highness, No, Tina. You have the purest and kindest heart in the world. Your Majesty will do everything in your power to help you realize this great ambition of a peaceful kingdom in which all people can live and work in peace and contentment without any emperor or king. ”

At this moment, Tina had already seen Sean's fickleness and hypocrisy, so she completely put away her smile, raised the royal ceremonial staff with her right hand very formally and solemnly, and then pressed the staff on the left shoulder of the handsome man who knelt on one knee, and declared without changing her face: "Then, I will officially appoint Sean as a loyal and brave general, commanding the 20,000 Eastern Route Army under his command." ”

Seeing that Tina had given himself formal authority so rashly and simply, Sean stood up with triumph and excitement, and thanked loudly with contempt in his eyes: "Thank you, no, Tina." I will do my best and fulfill my duties meticulously. "The handsome man saw that the female mage was so young, so he only regarded her as a little girl, thinking that he only needed to coax and deceive to play with the princess in his hands. ...

After Sean rode away. Leonard looked at the back of the handsome guy and couldn't help but comment: "This person's ambition is not small." ”

Hanks made a rare agreement with Leonard: "I feel the same way. ”

Hearing this, he couldn't understand Leonard and Hanks's words at all, and asked, "Where do you see that he is ambitious? I don't think this man's attitude has always been quite respectful and humble? Although his speech is a bit winding and rounding, it doesn't sound so easy to understand." ”

Based on his years of experience in dealing with people and things, Crotty added: "Know people, know faces, and don't know hearts." It's like I was blinded by Cleos before. However, we should not easily draw conclusions about the virtues of others. ”

Tina finally concluded: "As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." We'll guard against him. Let's see how he behaves in the future. So, the Western Route Army under her command and the Eastern Route Army under Sean met on the outskirts of Mandolia. The 40,000 Dorrals rebels besieged the 10,000 Vosfita Occupation Legion in the city of Mandolia. Upon learning of this news, faced with the precarious situation of more than 10,000 trapped officers and soldiers, Cleos decisively ordered Memphis to lead the First Army under his command to the rescue.

Hearing the news of the imminent departure of the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta, Cliff panted and entered Tina's tent stationed outside the city of Mandoria and shouted, "Your Highness Princess, no, Tina. Clio has already ordered: Memphis will lead the First Army to invade our country again, and prepare to relieve the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Republic of Vosfeta who are besieged by our army in the city of Mandolia. ”

Seeing this, Tina stood up from her seat and asked, "The actions of the Republic of Vosfitta are not unexpected, and it is not surprising at all. The question is, how should our army respond?"

Cliff recounted his encounter with Shaw's barracks: "I've already discussed this with Sean. I advised him to be forgiving and forgiving. As long as the enemy forces in the city of Mandolia are willing to lay down their arms and surrender. We should ensure their personal safety and let them leave the country and return to China. Sean, however, refused to listen to me, and handed me a list of wanted war criminals of the invading army of the Republic of Vosfitta.

He said that all the enemies on the wanted list in the city of Mandoria had committed unforgivable crimes in Lars and must be killed. In addition to this, all other enemies must remain in Lars' territory for ten years to compensate for the great losses inflicted on Lars. I warn Sean that the First Army under Memphis will soon invade Lars again in order to save the besieged enemy.

But he replied nonchalantly: What are you afraid of? Now the whole country of Lars is united in hatred and hatred. No matter what kind of enemy comes, it is impossible to win over the tens of millions of people of Lars, who have already awakened. What's more, the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta, which had invaded Lars, came and wanted to let these bandits come and go. I really couldn't convince him, so I had to come to you. ”

Tina replied, "Then you can go with me and persuade him." With that, she walked over to Cliff's side, and went out of camp with Lars' merchants, leading a few of the guards to visit Sean

As Tina, they approached the camp of the Eastern Route Army. I saw that the sergeants patrolling in Sean's camp were constantly waving the flags in their hands, and repeatedly shouted the slogan with great emotion: "Vow to bring the war criminals of the Republic of Vosfita to justice!-" "Vow to fight to the death with the First Army under the command of Memphis!-"...

When Tina heard this, she saw this, and she retreated and told Cliff beside her, "Forget it. Let's go back. ”

Cliff asked, bewildered, "Why?"

Tina's empathetic explanation: "Sean and I both had relatives who died at the hands of the Vosfita Army. So I could feel his mood perfectly. My own vengeance can be said to have been avenged. But Sean... I don't think we can convince him now, and he has so many people and lands. Let's go back and think of something else. ”

When Cliff heard this, he interjected at the right time to remind: "Since that's the case. I have a solution here. ”

As she walked back, Tina asked with interest, "What is the solution?"

As a result, Cliff told Tina what the masked man in black had recently told him to do: "I got a message through the secret channel of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. There is a man in our Chamber of Commerce who claims to be a mysterious merchant who claims to help us solve the problem of the Republic of Vosfita and the First Army's re-invasion of Lars. ”

As soon as Tina heard this, she asked with great interest: "Mysterious Merchant, this person that Father, Leonard, and Bran have all mentioned seems to be a mysterious person with extremely powerful powers in your Five Elements Chamber of Commerce. ”

Cliff went on to explain: "Yes, it's the mysterious merchant. He claimed that he would stay in Port Shevis and wait for us to come and receive help. ”

As the commander of the Western Route Army and the princess of the former Lars Empire, Tina was not willing to leave her busy official duties and go to Shevis Harbor to deal with other matters, so she replied: "Then, please leave it to you and Leonard for a trip." Please visit this mysterious merchant on my behalf. ”

When Cliff heard this, he hurriedly added, "Oh, that's right. The mysterious merchant also made a special request that you visit him in person. ”

In view of the current situation, Tina could only reply like this: "Okay. Then let's go back. Let's get together and continue the discussion. So when the mage returned to the camp, she summoned Leonard, Hanks, Bran, Crotty, and Howl into her tent, and sat down with her and the seven of them around a round table. Lars Merchant Jia was the first to get up and explained to his partners the current situation in Lars, Sean Dong's attitude, and the matter of the mysterious merchant.

Hanks, who had always looked down on all other professionals except nobles and soldiers, expressed his opinion with great disdain: "What kind of mysterious merchant? Why have I never heard of this person? ”

Leonard followed Hanks' words and expressed his opinion: "It doesn't matter if the mysterious merchant is a charlatan or not. I will only say that at the time when the main forces of the Lars Empire were besieging the city of Bagram. I followed him in and out of your crown prince's barracks before I figured out that you and Tina had left Bagram. ”

Tina also stood up and asked for everyone's opinions: "Then should we trust this mysterious merchant or not? Should I go to the port of Shevis myself? Is there any other way to persuade Sean to allow the Vosfitta Army to leave the country and not give the First Army an excuse to invade our country again?" ”

When Hanks heard this, he stood up with a stern face and said, "Tell me the truth. His Majesty didn't know if the mysterious merchant could be relied upon. It's just a guess that this person is a charlatan. As for Sean, who had just won a series of battles, he was very frivolous now, and he didn't take the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta in his eyes at all, just like his subordinates before.

However, the horror of the First Army of the Republic of Vosfita is absolutely unimaginable if it is not seen with one's own eyes. Therefore, please immediately remove Sean from his position and deprive him of his military powers. Prevent this person from single-handedly leading himself and all the soldiers of the Eastern Route Army into a desperate situation of destruction. "Hanks, who has played against the First Group, knows the horror of the enemy.

When Cliff heard this, he retorted to Hanks' suggestion with great concern: "The question is, can he be dismissed? If he could be dismissed, His Highness would have been relieved long ago." However, since His Royal Highness has abolished the title of princess in the army, the position is only the commander of the Western Route Army. Sean is also the commander of the Eastern Route Army. The two sides are equal. If the commander of either side was to be replaced, the final decision would have to be made by a vote of all the officers. Will the people on Sean's side agree to remove him from his position?

Even if the title of princess was restored. As Sean's boss, in the face of a general like him who firmly controlled the army and did not make any mistakes, he brazenly decided to dismiss this general on the grounds that their entire army was extremely resistant. Such an approach would eventually lead to only one result, which would lead to a mutiny, a complete break between the Western and Eastern Route armies, and the fact that the countries had not yet been liberated and had become enemies of each other. ”

Hanks proposed, "Well, just assassinate him." ”

Cliff continued to refute Hanks's opinion: "No, it's too risky! Once the matter is revealed, not only the Eastern Route Army, but also our Western Route Army will be discouraged. Who would dare to believe us, who would want to follow us, and even if Sean died. Will those soldiers of the Eastern Route Army become obedient to us?"

Crotty also stood up and concluded: "So there is only one way left. That is, the dead horse is used as a live horse doctor, and he goes to the port of Shevis to visit the mysterious merchant. There is no need to consider whether the other party is a charlatan or not. ”

When Tina heard this, she asked, "Then I would like to ask all of you here, who wants to stay here, and who wants to go with me to visit the mysterious merchant?"

With many busy official duties of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, Cliff, who needed to handle it personally, took the initiative to garrison the barracks: "As a person born in Lars, I volunteered to stay and help manage the official affairs of the army. "These official duties include: the raising of money and food for the rebel army, the purchase of weapons and equipment, etc., all of which require a large amount of credit support from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce.

All the grain, grass, weapons and equipment of the rebel army will only be purchased from the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, so it is a business that requires a huge amount of time and effort, high investment, high risk, and high return.

Tina turned her head again, smiled and asked Hanks what he wanted: "What about you, Hanks? You were also born in Lars, and you are extremely familiar with the management of the army, how about you stay?"

When Hanks heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly defended himself: "Public... Tina. Did your subordinates make some mistake that made you angry? As your personal guard, to protect your safety is your most holy angel. How can your subordinates leave you before Lars is liberated and there is a great revival?"

Tina couldn't help but smile and asked the other partners present, "Okay." Then you go with you. Everyone, who else is going to visit the mysterious merchant with us?"

Leonard immediately raised his right hand and replied loudly, "Count me in." I'm usually the most idle. Staying in the barracks only depresses me. "As a soldier who has invaded the territory of the Lars Empire and killed many soldiers of the Lars Empire, the former commander of the First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta and the Second Swordsman Regiment, the Great Swordsman always feels furious and very awkward in his heart when facing the Lars officers and soldiers, especially when he is alone with the Lars soldiers without a partner.

Seeing that Leonard had already expressed his position, Bran also wanted to escape from the barracks, and responded closely: "As a mercenary from Bagram, of course I will not choose to stay. "In the same way, the longbowman had a pimple in his heart and extreme discomfort when he faced the Lars soldiers alone.

Crotty replied crisply: "I don't think there's any need for me to stay." ”

The howl was even more blunt: "The people of Jiluo know that I howl and never stay in the barracks and do nothing. ”

Tina finally spoke: "That's good. Now that everyone has made a decision. Then we'll leave tomorrow. So the next morning, he got into a caravan and headed straight for the port of Shevis in the southeast of Mandolia.
