Chapter 559: The generals are not in harmony
Leo looked at Duke Lean in front of him, and he was actually a little nervous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Although he was very confident in convincing the other party, Leo also knew very well in his heart that this Duke of Lean was not an ordinary person, and this kind of person who was at the top in some aspects was usually some super paranoid, and what decisions paranoids could make was something that no one could predict.
If the Duke refuses Leo's proposal, then Leo may have to worry about how to get out.
It was at this moment that movement outside the mask attracted Leo's attention.
A middle-aged man in armor who looked like a general led a small group of Scarlet Knights to the area of the mask, pointing at Duke Lean and Leo in the mask, with a look on his face that seemed to be very unhappy.
Although Leo couldn't hear the movement outside because of the soundproof mask, it could be seen from the movement alone that the Scarlet Knights General and his men had some physical altercations with the Duke of Lean's own soldiers around the mask for some reason.
This scene made Leo feel a little strange, and he thought to himself: "The information I read when I was in the Holy See said that the Duke of Lian ruled the army very strictly, and the troops he led have always been forbidden by order, and ten thousand people are like one, how come at this critical moment his generals actually clash with the Duke's personal soldiers?" Do you say—"
Leo's heart moved, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and he was a little more sure of convincing the Duke.
So Leo smiled and pointed to the general in his sight: "Lord Duke, it seems that your subordinates are in trouble, maybe you need to intervene to solve it?" ”
Due to the position where he was standing, Duke Leo only noticed a small commotion behind him after Leo reminded him, and the Duke didn't say anything, and walked straight out of the soundproof light mask, and Leo naturally followed immediately.
"What's going on?" Duke Leanne looked at everything in front of him with a stern expression.
The one who caused this little commotion was, of course, General Brian, the supreme commander of the Scarlet Knights.
After Duke Li'an stepped out of the light mask, the pushing and shoving movements on both sides temporarily subsided, but judging from the eyes that were relatively angry, it was obvious that what had just happened had planted some kind of suspicion between the Duke's personal guards and these blood-colored knights.
However, it seems that General Bryan obviously did not care about this suspicion, and the general on the horse did not even have any intention of dismounting after seeing the Duke of Lean's eyes on him, but sat on his horse and said loudly: "Lord Marshal! The enemy has already begun to move towards the palace gate, why haven't we launched an attack yet? ”
It was clear that General Bryan had lost his patience and didn't even bother to do superficial work, and his tone of voice was not so much talking to his immediate boss as questioning Duke Leanne himself.
The muscles on Duke Lean's cheeks twitched again, and this time the Duke really wanted to kill Brian on the spot.
You must know that this is the time for Duke Lean and Leo to negotiate, but General Bryan ran over at this time, exposing the weakness of his own general's discord!
In all the previous negotiations on the table, both sides tacitly acquiesced that the other party and themselves were in a five-to-five situation, but now that the weakness of the Duke of Lean's side has been exposed, will the eldest princess and Leo's side still think so?
In this case, maybe Leo will change his previous conditions immediately after discovering this situation, and he will not be so generous!
To give a very simple example, if two superpowers negotiate with each other, then no matter how they talk, everyone will definitely gain and lose, and in general, no one will gain and no one will suffer.
But if a superpower negotiates with a small country, the situation is very different, and if the small country does not sign some unequal agreements such as land reparations for the loss of power and humiliating countries, the superpower will not be satisfied at all, and this small country may even be destroyed because of this!
In other words, in the worst-case scenario, the eldest princess's side may even directly launch a full-scale attack in order to wipe out Duke Li'an and the Scarlet Knights in one fell swoop!
Discord among generals is an Achilles' heel that should never be seen in any army, and all armies that have had this problem since ancient times, unless the enemy on the opposite side is extremely weak, will end in a crushing defeat 99 percent!
As the number one marshal in the mainland, Duke Li'an naturally knows this better than anyone else.
It's time to fix this!
Duke Lean suddenly glanced back at Leo.
Although the Duke's lips did not tremble in the slightest, an extremely subtle, buzzing word suddenly sounded in Leo's ears: "If something happens, let your woman protect you." ”
"My woman?" Leo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized that the other party was talking about the blonde Daisy, which made Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: "My woman is not here, Lord Duke." ”
However, Leo quietly gave Daisy a look and signaled her to be careful.
It is not difficult to hear from the words of the Duke of Leanne that something is about to happen.
Leo himself is also a little curious in his heart, how will the first marshal of the continent deal with this matter in front of him?
Duke Lean took two steps forward and looked at General Brian, who was still on his horse in front of him, with a stern gaze: "General Brian, I think I may need to remind you that I am the current supreme commander of this army, and it is not your turn to dictate to me when I will fight." ”
A mournful sound suddenly came from the mouth of the horse under General Brian's crotch, and the black horse, which looked very tall and strong, suddenly neighed, and then the joints of the legs of the four horses crackled at the same time, and the whole horse fell directly to the ground, almost overturning the caught off guard General Brian directly to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Leo couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "This Duke of Li'an really likes to use this trick to scare people, but to be honest, this trick is really easy to use." ”
It was clear that it was impossible for the horse to suddenly kneel on its own, so the answer was obvious, it was the Duke of Leanne who used his momentum to overwhelm the horse and force him to kneel down as he had just forced Leo.
General Brian stood up from his horse in some embarrassment, and the general certainly couldn't have been unaware of what had happened, his face flushed with anger.
Duke Leanne actually let him lose such a big person in front of his subordinates, the future emperor's majesty, the eldest prince Emmanuel, under the gaze of thousands of troops!
If General Bryan swallows his anger about this, how can he stand in front of his subordinates in the future? How can he prove that he is a loyal general who is qualified and capable of fighting against the Golden Lion Family?
So of course he can't bear it!
Then General Bryan let out a sneer and said, "If the Marshal is so timid, then don't blame the Admiral for doing his own thing!" ”
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, since you Duke Li'an is reluctant to fight, then Lao Tzu will bring someone to fight by himself! Anyway, these 25,000 people are Lao Tzu's soldiers!
"Oh?" Duke Li'an's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a cruel and cold smile.
