Chapter 30 Rules
Charles took Roy, Byrne and others around the west side of the fortress with great fanfare, and came to the southern entrance of the inner city of the fortress, successfully attracting a large number of Florensian warriors and civilians who had nothing to do.
When Roy had the horn of Enfilt blow the "Announce the Victory", Charles picked up his spirits and began to parade the streets, and General Cardo, who was also in the inner city of the fortress, quickly sent people out to check on it. When Charles deliberately slowed down to reach the Military Hall, General Cardo was already waiting on the steps of the main door of the Military Hall.
General Cardo, who was of medium height and broad shoulders, did not speak, but looked coldly at Charles who was slowly walking, and his brown eyes gradually narrowed.
Cardo was a middle-level transcendent and very observant, and he was sure that Charles Chevalier was walking in front of him, but not like the Charles Chevalier before.
The two look exactly the same, but in the past, Charles Chevalier was irritable, irritable, and had a vague stupidity in his eyes, but now Charles Chevalier is calm, calm, and honest with an atmosphere.
Cardo was looking at Charles, and Charles was also observing Cardo, and before he came, Roy had briefly introduced Charles to the Supreme Commander of the North Ferent Fortress.
Born in a civilian, he has served in the army for many years, and he has the opportunity to awaken his extraordinary talent by virtue of his military exploits, and then he has been appreciated and promoted by his superiors, and he has successfully advanced to the middle level of transcendental, and he has soared all the way to today's position.
And the boss who recommended him was the former commander of the Southwestern Front of Florens, Charles Chevalier's dead ghost father, Boerman Chevalier.
Charles opened his spiritual power vision before arriving at the Military Affairs Hall, and when he saw the condensed spiritual power gathering on General Cardo's body, and compared with the spiritual power state he saw on Lola and Horn Connell, he had some understanding of the gap between low-level transcendents and middle-rank transcendents.
"Shhh...... It seems that the guy I caught asking for directions yesterday is a bit not easy!" A pair of gray-green eyes flashed in Charles's mind for no reason, as well as the spiritual power in his body.
General Cardo didn't speak, and the rest of the military hall didn't dare to ask Charles what he was doing first, which made Charles feel very awkward, so he had to start saluting General Cardo according to the process of announcing his exploits that Roy had temporarily taught him, and then knelt down on one knee and raised the flag of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of Sbaya above his head.
Charles knelt not as a cardo, but as the king showed his merits, which, in Roy's words, was the most glorious moment of the nobility.
"Honorable generals, warriors, my master, Count Bayonne, heir to the Marquis of Lorraine, the ........ of the honorable Charles Chevalier"
Roy acted as a narrator next to Charles, and began to preach (exaggerate) the exploits of his master in a frustrated manner, describing the enemy, which had only nearly a thousand men, as 3,000, and Charles, who was tightly protected by Sosa and others, as a fierce general.......
Roy's voice was very loud, and the passionate voice spread far away, and everyone around him was in a loud and exclamation, and Charles buried his face in his chest so that others would not see him blushing.
Roy spoke for ten minutes, but Charles's face was not red, anyway, it was like this, and the cheekiness was practiced from blushing again and again.
After Roy finished speaking, there was silence in the arena, and everyone was watching General Cardo's reaction to see if he would admit this feat.
After all, Charles Chevalier took his knights deep into the territory of Sbaya without the permission of General Cardo, which can be said to be a personal act.
Three minutes later, Charles felt a light on his hand, and the flag of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of Bya was taken away, and then he grabbed his arm with one hand and pulled himself up.
Cardo was a little "medium" in height, and when Charles stood up, his gaze could only move up slightly, but the sharp brown eyes made Charles feel like he was being looked down.
"Very good! Although you are the only one who has returned, but it has also cost the enemy a great price, on behalf of all the soldiers of Ferente, I congratulate you!"
The corners of Charles's mouth were crooked, and he felt awkward in his heart, what do you mean "Only you are back?"
But Roy's reaction was very fast, and when General Cardo said "Congratulations", he immediately began to take the lead in applauding, and the applause became more and more enthusiastic, and then some people began to cheer loudly.
The news of the victory spread quickly, and the atmosphere in the fortress gradually warmed up, dispelling most of the depression caused by the inexplicable defeat a few days ago.
General Cardo's face remained unchanged, his arms stretched forward, and he announced in a voice several times brighter than Royhon: "Long live Ference...... Long live His Majesty the King......"
"Long live Ference...... Long live His Majesty the King......"
"Long live Ference....... Long live the general......."
The leader's guiding power is very powerful, and General Cardo shifted everyone's worship to the level of the country and the king in a few words, which made Charles and Roy a little unexpected, but under the general trend, they could only shout with the others, and pretend to be very excited.
"Follow me!"
General Cardo said in a low voice, turned and walked through the gate of the military hall of the fortress.
Charles followed, and after entering the military hall, the guards closed the door behind them, muffling out the noise.
The Military Administration Hall is a three-story building, with the first floor being the work of ordinary staff, the second floor being the offices of high-ranking military and political officials, and the third floor being the area dedicated to General Cardo, the supreme commander of the fortress.
Entering the military administration hall is a wide hall, many men and women in military uniforms are looking out of the office, when they see Charles's "broad" body, a few young female officers can't help but cover their mouths and snicker.
"Humph!"
General Cardo snorted coldly, and everyone was frightened like birds and beasts.
"I don't know what the king thinks, but he actually agreed to the madman's suggestion to let women into the army, and said that he could improve his work efficiency, which is ridiculous. General Cardo grimaced and cursed as he walked up the stairs.
“.........”
"Oh, maybe...... There is some truth in it!" Charles knew the philosophy of "men and women are matched and work without getting tired" since he was a child, and he justified it casually.
"Huh?"
Cardo stopped, suddenly looked back at Charles, and said very seriously: "You'd better stop believing in that madman like your father, he is a genius and a demon!"
"Oh...... Okay!"
Charles was overwhelmed by General Cardo's sudden rise in momentum, and nodded in agreement.
Cardo and Charles went up the stairs in silence, and when they reached the third floor, Cardo said in a low voice, "Trust me, don't have anything to do with that madman again!"
"Oh..... Ahh......h Who is it?"
Charles was frantically searching in his mind for who "that madman" was, but there was no answer, and he was even more confused when he heard Cardo's words.
“.......”
"Good!
Cardo didn't stop, pushing open a door and entering, and Charles had to hurry to follow.
It was a small reception room, and Charles glanced at the layout of the reception room when he entered, with three chairs, one in the main seat and two in the guest room.
One of the two guest chairs is a carved wood chair with velvet upholstery and the other ...... It's just an ordinary wooden chair with a little paint on it.
At this time, a person was already sitting on the carved chair in the guest seat.
With triangular eyes, a big belly, a chubby face that is three points fatter than Charles, and a dress representing aristocratic status that is bulging with fat and flesh, Charles doesn't want to look at him a second time.
"I'm going to lose weight, or sooner or later I'm going to be as unlikable as he is. ”
Cardo entered the door and walked straight to the chair in the main seat and sat down, not greeting Charles.
"Play this with me?"
Charles smiled, turned and went out the door, and when he came up he saw two flannel sofas at the top of the staircase, although not as delicate and luxurious as the carved chairs, but they were big enough, comfortable enough, and special enough.
Charles walked over and reached out and dragged the couch over, the heavy couch was powerless under Charles's brute force, and the solid wood legs rubbed against the floor with a screeching sound.
Upon entering, Charles threw away the sofa seemingly casually and sat down directly across from General Cardo.
"Oh, Count Bayonne is a man who doesn't know the rules!"
"Oh...... Do I need to know the rules?"
The fat man said something weirdly, and Charles replied without being salty.
Others may not understand what the fat man meant, but Charles understands that Cardo did not beckon him to sit down after entering the door, and prepared an obviously "special" chair, which is actually a means of suppressing momentum, which is often used by superiors to deal with subordinates in the Great Celestial Empire.
Subordinates with poor psychological tolerance encounter this situation, it is not standing or sitting, if you stand, you will fall behind invisibly, if you sit down, the boss still has a lot of cold eyes waiting for you, anyway, it is the result of embarrassment, Charles had suffered in his previous life.
But now that Charles is a hereditary count, he doesn't have to worry about the fortress commander at all.
When the nobles can't compare to each other in terms of position, they can pull out their eight generations of ancestors and reason with you whose bloodline is more noble, the bloodline of the Chevalier family can be traced back to a certain knight during the Ruoman Empire thousands of years ago, and a civilian general with a shallow foundation like Cardo is not enough to see in front of the Charr at all.
"This is Viscount Fort Chai Koman, the king's envoy to the peace talks. ”
“.......”
Charles turned his head sharply and stared at the fat man like a beast on its prey.
