Chapter 22 Each has his own wishful thinking
Since receiving the news that the emperor had ordered him to go to the front, General Iros has been procrastinating, first saying that he had occasionally experienced a cold and needed to recuperate, and then that the weather was bitter cold and that the movement of troops was slow. Anyway, he just refused to go up early to be cannon fodder.
When the General arrived at Luther House, King Hope had been stationed there for several days, and by the time King Richard headed north, the General was still stagnant. He had already made up his mind in his heart, and he was ready to meet the emperor in person and confide in his heart.
When the Emperor arrived, the first piece of good news came was that there seemed to be an infighting among the Desserts, and that the black-robed mage was at odds with Marshal Kripp, resulting in Tugrul having to return to Rom despite his repeated victories.
Del T.L. smiled at Duke Loyle and said, "God help me, this time I will definitely make the northern barbarians dare not raise sword soldiers for five hundred years!"
"Your Majesty, General Wellington has made a great contribution this time, he has not come out of the city, he has consumed the enemy's sharp energy, and finally waited for this great opportunity......"
"You have done a good job, Duke!" said the Emperor, who had not waited for Loyle to finish his boasting, praised him, and then changed his words to something else, "In this case, should Borot also be rewarded?"
"Your Majesty, Borot has lost two battles in a row, and thanks to the help of the King of Hope and General Wellington, he barely managed to draw a game in the end, which can only be regarded as hard work at most!"
"The civil strife of the Dessert has fulfilled Borot, and the old fellow's life is very hard!" Deliot sighed slightly, and then stared at the Duke of Loyle with a sharp gaze, and asked in a low voice, "The use of poison is from you?"
Loyle was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, Borot is a duke, how dare I use such indiscriminate means to deal with him? I don't know about the use of poison, and when I go back, I will definitely investigate it strictly and give you an explanation!"
Deliot patted the old man on the shoulder and said: "You are also in too much of a hurry in this matter, when the two armies are fighting, using this strategy is equivalent to digging your own grave." Thankfully, it didn't work out, and if old Borot had been in trouble like this, do you think we would be in a better position than the Deseths? His son Albert is in charge of the Duchy behind our ass, and you are giving him an excuse to rebel!"
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this person quickly and give you a satisfactory answer within three days!"
"You don't have to give me any explanation, of course Borot is going to die, you just need to give Albert who is in prison an explanation!"
Seeing that Loyle was frightened, the Emperor suddenly said with a pleasant face: "King Richard of Hope is so brave, it is really respectable and terrifying. Now that the capture of Roma has become a priority, Richard is a religious believer and will do his best. You should know how to do it, right?"
"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely favorable to us, and the city of Roma is just around the corner, and we cannot let Richard or Bojiao take all the credit, so I immediately order General Wellington to clean up his men and horses, and cooperate with Richard to attack the city. Considering that Duke Borot was old and frail, and had two new defeats, he was temporarily stationed outside the city of Frante as a backup. Loyle made a thoughtful move.
Deliot nodded: "I have another person here, and I am ready to make him guilty and meritorious service to assist your Wellington." ”
"Your Majesty, you commanded. ”
"General Iros is a very resourceful man, and although he is easily impatient at times, he can still use it. ”
"Your Majesty, now on the front line, many people are advancing together, although they share the same hatred, but there must be a leader. Since His Majesty has sent General Iros, let him take charge of the overall situation. Loyle pondered the Emperor's mind.
"With King Richard of Hope, it won't be Ilos's turn, so let him be Wellington's deputy!"
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be true that the credit should still be given to King Richard?"
Deliot laughed, "I'm going to let Iros guard Rom City!"
Hearing this, Loyle immediately understood, and laughed in agreement.
......
The city of Soro, Duchy of Borot.
Mrs. Charlotte was anxiously discussing something with her son Albert.
It turned out that Duke Borot was poisoned, although he did not intend to tell his family, but his henchmen still stabbed the situation back to the mansion. This is not only to keep the promise of the lady when he set out on the expedition, but also to think about the future of the principality. The duke's men were already indignant, and they knew the emperor's scheming against his master.
Albert, who is now in charge of the Duchy, is filled with anger when he learns that his father has been treated in this way. He said to Mrs. Charlotte: "Mother, my father was born and died, and he went to the front without hesitation to die for the emperor, but they still treated him like this. This is clearly looking down on me as a prisoner!"
"Child, you are still young, if you want to fight with Emperor Deliot, you still need to take care of yourself and endure humiliation. I don't think this is the Emperor's intention, although he has always wanted to seize our principality, but when the two armies are fighting, the use of this poisonous trick will not outweigh the losses. This must be a despicable trick that his subordinates are eager to ask for merit and reward. ”
"Mother, I know you're afraid that I'm going to be impulsive and cause a big disaster. Regardless of who did it, the culprit remains Deleven himself. Father, he is fortunate to be fine now, if there is really a three long and two short, I will definitely tell the world, so that everyone can understand the truth!"
Mrs. Charlotte looked at her son's somewhat emaciated and gloomy face and said, "You must not have closed your eyes in the past few days, the body is the most important thing, without it, how can you achieve your ambitions? ”
"Mother, then you can rest in peace, I will go to rest after I have arranged my business. Albert said as he hurried away, not wanting his relatives to worry about him.
Since learning that Benedict is his biological father, the young Highness has undergone a sea change. He was anxious to confirm the facts, but after the truth was revealed, he suddenly felt that he was so stupid that he would not be the heir to the throne of the duke, who was rich and prosperous, but became the illegitimate son of a half-old monk.
If when he was a child, Albert was both respectful and afraid of Duke Borot, now that he has grown up, he has only respect and gratitude for the Duke.
Benedict had abandoned their mother and son for the sake of the abbey, and now he must not abandon the dukedom on the spur of the moment. Doing so will only make all your loved ones miserable. Only by working hard to grow up and take over Borot's class is the most urgent and important thing to do at the moment.
The principality is located in the center of the Bodi continent, although it is rich in products and developed trade, but the strategic situation is sinister, and once the sword is mobilized, it is easy to be copied by others. Because there is no danger to defend and no city to rely on.
Albert thought of the kingdom of Antipastor to the south of himself.
Although the country was nominally under the jurisdiction of Emperor Tamborans, the emperors of the past dynasties did not pay much attention to it because of its close proximity to the elven Danse Forest, and only regarded him as a buffer zone with the buns of tree-hugging cubs.
The young highness felt that if he could annex this country, he would not only increase his territory, but also make friends with the elves, and he could have a bargaining chip at a critical moment. When he was in danger in Grid, that elven druid was so powerful that he would definitely be able to help him.
When the old duke was ordered to go to the north to fight, he took away 20,000 elites from the principality, and now there are only more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers left at Albert's disposal.
His Royal Highness was troubled by the soldiers all day long, and he was also worried that there was no one around him who could advise. He was depressed in the mansion all day long, and someone around him knew a little about his intentions, so he took advantage of it and said: "Your Highness, are you worried that there is no one available around you? ”
"Oh? Albert was skeptical.
"This man lives on the outskirts of Solo City, has been farming for generations, and although he is not rich, he is also happy to relax. At the beginning, the old duke wanted to ask him to go out of the mountain to assist, but they did not agree. The old duke was busy with affairs, so he was delayed later. Your Highness, you are now thirsty for talent, as long as you put down your body, humbly ask for advice, and come to the door again and again to salute, you will definitely be able to take it into your account. ”
"If there is such a strange man, what are we waiting for? As Albert spoke, he tried to take the man out with him.
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, you should at least be prepared!"
"You said that this person's family is not wealthy, so how about we bring some gold, silver and jewelry?"
"Your Highness, this person does not covet temporary wealth and glory. Even if you give him this dukedom, he won't accept it. ”
"So what should I do?" Albert felt a little tricky.
"This man has great ambitions, and when the old duke went to visit him, he asked a question which even a man of your father's ability could not answer for a while. ”
"Oh?
"Since Emperor Deliot sat on the throne of the emperor by hiding deeply, as soon as he ascended the throne, he immediately revealed his fierce and cunning nature. The dukes and counts in the empire all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Is this a scourge or a blessing for Tamborans?"
"Of course, a scourge!" said Albert without hesitation.
"Your Highness, your father's answer at that time was a blessing!"
"How is this possible?"
"Your Highness, if you are anxious to know the answer, you can first bathe and change your clothes, pray to the heavens for a day and night, and then pay a visit, and you will surely get a satisfactory answer. ”
"So what's the point of going now?"
The man smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't know anything. This matter can only be delayed, not rushed, your current look has passed, and people will definitely not accept it. Those who achieve great things rely on a word of forbearance. Your Highness, as long as you pass with this word, you will be able to succeed immediately. ”
Albert was both a little surprised and a little admired, and he asked, "What's your name, and why haven't I paid attention to you in the past?"
The man knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, I can't hide it, the contemptible Crawford, the wizard introduced by the right person is my eldest brother." I'm afraid that you will ignore me because of my slight words, so I said it a little mysteriously, I hope you will forgive me. Your father's section is the truth, and you can ask for it yourself. ”
His Royal Highness laughed and said, "Mr. Crawford, you must not have a lot of ink in your chest, I want you to be my Sasuke, what do you think?"
Crawford High claimed thanks.
