readx;?“ My lord, how did you decide? Now that the empire is almost falling apart, in order to compete for the throne, even the materials that should have been sent to the front line of the bloody war have been suspended and no one has paid attention to it, this is a major event related to the safety of the entire human kingdom! Originally, I thought that there were a few more decent people in this group of princes, but now it seems that they are all a bunch of selfish guys! ”

As the first maid and captain of the guard to follow Ophelia, Merry's identity at this moment is naturally different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Even though her strength is still at the third-order Black Iron Level, because of her presence, Ophelia can deal with the affairs of the Silver Pegasus Legion with much ease.

And Merry is not full of muscles and fighting Odara, although she is not good at fighting, she has shown a high talent in personnel management and political affairs. Therefore, even in the high-level meetings of the Silver Pegasus Army, Merry is free to express her opinions.

At this time, Ophelia, who habitually pinched a glass of 'Francer', was also very upset, but the question that Merry said was annoying. If it is something else, it can be delayed, but the military rations and supplies on the front line of the bloody battle are related to the overall safety of the human kingdom, and those princes are not really stupid, can't they tell which is more important?!

Originally, Ophelia still had some expectations for the second prince Abel Franx, who was stationed in the East to take charge of the Second Army of the Empire, after all, this prince who had entered the army since the coming-of-age ceremony was a standard soldier and commander in terms of strength and mentality.

However, in the face of today's situation, these princes are desperately accumulating strength, so that when His Majesty the old emperor was still there, the materials supported by the imperial capital from all over the country can only be scraped together!

In order to ensure that the front line of the bloody battle can withstand the attack of the orcs, the soldiers are fighting with their lives! Because they all know in their hearts that once the front line of the bloody battle is broken through by the orcs, then the next unlucky ones will be their families and relatives.

So the phrase of mobilization on the front line of the bloody battle is very short, destroy the enemy, protect the homeland, and try to survive! It's as simple as that.

And the current supply made up by the empire can't last long on the front line of the bloody war, and if you add the cost and wear and tear of transportation along the way, it is already the limit to be able to hold on for three months.

And all this can only be done without hindrance within the empire, and now those princes are tense with each other, and almost all of them have blocked the borders of their provinces and counties tightly, even if they can barely scrape together military funds and supplies, it is quite difficult to cross most of the French Empire from Franks to the bloody front line in the south of the empire.

(It's nerve-wracking...... ）

If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, only when you really achieve that position, or only when you really reach that height, will you understand the pressure brought by the high position.

Whether it is the identity of the captain of the Silver Pegasus Legion, or the actual ruler of the Cammode family, the old nobleman of the French Empire, Ophelia has now entered the core of the French Empire.

To be precise, as a member of the French Imperial Council, Ophelia's decisions can even affect the future direction of the French Empire to some extent! It's like if she chooses to support a certain prince, not to mention that, the prince's chances of inheriting the throne will increase by at least forty percent!

However, Ophelia, who was originally holding a wait-and-see attitude and was not ready to participate in it, did not feel that there was anything to boast about. Coupled with the selfish performance of these princes at this time, it is even more disappointing.

In fact, at the moment, Ophelia is only concerned about how to get the French Empire through the current difficulties of internal and external persecution, and the most important problem at the moment is how to raise and deliver supplies for the bloody front.

"Don't be angry with Mei Li, getting angry won't solve the problem. Now the situation is clear to everyone, and it is impossible to completely count on those princes to raise materials and coordinate with each other. But they are princes no matter how they say it, whether as a member of the royal family or a nobleman of the empire, they must contribute. ”

"But how do you get them to help? Yesterday, I heard that skirmishes have begun to take place at the junction of many provinces and counties within the empire, so let alone let them take the initiative to hand over the supplies, I'm afraid that even the teams transporting the supplies will encounter danger when they pass by, right? ”

Mei Li's words are not alarmist, at this time, there has already been chaos in the empire, and there was even a matter of the army of the sixth prince Amos seizing the caravan and even forcibly requisitioning the caravan materials a while ago.

Judging from this situation, if the team carrying supplies appears in their land, they are afraid that they will really be meat buns and dogs, and they will never return.

"That's why it's not easy! Seeing that there are only two months left before the annual delivery date, if you throw away the time to send the supplies from Franks to the front line of the bloody battle, then at most there will be a month and a few days left, which sounds like a long time, but at most it can run back and forth between the imperial capital Franks and any three princes. ”

"Yes, but there are now a total of seven princes in our French Empire, even if you leave the eldest prince who has been staying in the imperial capital and the youngest seventh prince who has also barely left the imperial capital, there are still five princes left. If you calculate it like this, it's too late in terms of time......"

"Exactly......"

At this moment, when Mei Li mentioned it, the generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion present immediately discussed it word by word, but the problem was there, on the one hand, the time was too hurried to go through each prince's territory, and on the other hand, how to make these selfish princes contribute money and materials, this is the biggest problem.

So after discussing it for a long time, a general of the Silver Pegasus Legion in charge of logistics materials directly raised this issue.

"Lord Ophelia, in fact, if you can raise eighty percent of the amount of supplies, you should be able to last for a while, after all, these materials are prepared according to one year, as long as the soldiers' salaries can be paid on time, other food supplies and the like can be slowly replenished later, even if they are worse. But the crux of the matter is, who can convince these selfish princes to pay for it? ”

Hearing the general speak, Merry was not surprised to see Ophelia but stared at the wine in her hand, with her experience of following Ophelia for so many years, Merry knew that she should have thought of this question in her heart. Not only that, but it's likely that the solution has been thought of, right?

Thinking of this, Mei Li suddenly thought of a possibility, so she directly opened her mouth and hurriedly asked:

"My lord, aren't you going to pay for that big hole out of your own pocket?! Although our Silver Pegasus Legion has a great cause, the military expenses and materials are the responsibility of the Empire! Besides, our Silver Pegasus Legion has already sent the most elite Silver Pegasus Knights to the front line of the bloody battle for so many years, so we don't owe anything to the empire whether it is public or private, and now if we take the initiative to come up with so many materials, money and food, it will really be...... It's a big loss! ”

In fact, Merry's last sentence was to say 'I am stupid', but it was not her and Ophelia alone at the moment, after all, there were other generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion and ...... in the room

So even with the sisterly relationship between Merry and Ophelia, you have to take care of Ophelia's face at this moment, and you can't say everything too casually.

Hearing Merry's words, Ophelia finally looked up. However, at this moment, in the eyes of this famous female general of the empire, Mei Li saw not only exhaustion, but more anxiety and pity than anger.

Ophelia, meanwhile, spoke.

"I understand what you mean, but my dear Merry, not to mention that we are from the Francois Empire, we should pay more at this difficult and critical time. Not to mention...... If something happens to the front line of the bloody war, if it is broken through by the orcs due to material problems, then it will be innocent civilians who will suffer! ”

After Ophelia finished speaking, Merry opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word. Not only that, but the generals who originally did not agree with Ophelia using the Silver Pegasus Legion's material reserves to plug the hole for the empire were also quiet at the moment.

Not only that, but now the way they looked at Ophelia was completely filled with respect.

No matter what these generals have been through and what life has become for them, they have never forgotten the oath they took when they first joined the Silver Pegasus Legion!

So the generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion, including Merry, stood up, and saw that they all gave a military salute to Ophelia, and then spoke neatly:

"To protect the Empire, to protect the people, to protect the glory of the Silver Pegasus Legion! Legionnaire, please! ”

(Everyone...... ）

Facing the subordinates who suddenly became energetic, Ophelia was also quite moved in her heart. The ages of these generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion are different, after all, after the uprooting of the Presbyterian Council of the Kamod Family, some of the generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion who belong to the Presbyterian Legion system have been completely replaced.

And among the generals of the Silver Pegasus Legion present now, many of them were people who Ophelia had only recently promoted from the original mid-level officers. However, precisely because many of them were of commoner origin, they worked harder than most noble officers and were more sympathetic to the suffering of commoners.

Ophelia's decision may now be detrimental to the interests of the Silver Pegasus, but if it's all for the sake of the empire and the people, then what does it matter?

However, Ophelia is not an impulsive person, and the reason why she convened this meeting is to brainstorm ideas for everyone to figure out together. So after returning the salute and letting the agitated Silver Pegasus generals sit down, Ophelia turned her gaze to the doorway inside the room.

There, a group of people who weren't supposed to be qualified to participate in the Silver Pegasus Legion meeting were sitting quietly.
