CHAPTER XXVIII

By the time Brooks and Xenas arrived at the conference hall, the rest of the generals had already arrived. With the exception of Generals Dara and Zaran, who were in charge of guarding the northern border, Tatar, Wod, Zukar, Gurnas, Pokel, Hector, Jimda, MΓΌller, Chikirda, and Alamzi were all the backbone of the Dils army. The meeting was attended by members of the staff team, including Wei Song, Mueller's wife Elaine, Miss Tia, Jamo, the chief of intelligence, and Bodecka and Lysius, who were in charge of internal affairs.

"You three are really late." Jimda said in a mocking tone.

Unfortunately, his attack couldn't hurt the wall-solid faces of Senas and Brooks, Xenas looked around the room, and then said leisurely: "Isn't Li Tianhao not here yet, as the saying goes, the most honored guests always arrive last." ”

In the face of him being so unashamed to put himself above the generals, Jimda was so choked that he couldn't speak. However, everyone has long been surprised by Xenas's big words, and any of them in this group admit that Xenas's martial arts and command ability are enough to take charge of himself, but I am afraid that less than half of them really like this man, and none of them are willing to openly admit that they like Xenas as a person.

Xenas didn't care about this at all, he quickly found his goal, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Yo, the little baby of the year has now grown into a real man." Alam, how does a woman feel? I didn't lie to you, did I? ”

Although the trouble caused by Alam is not big, it is very troublesome. The Dils army, who had always been known for their strict military discipline, faced with the case of Alam and had to do their best to appease the victim's father. At the same time, Alam was severely punished, and the incident was a scandal to be ashamed of for the top brass of the Dils army. But he was ashamed to say it by Xenas. Alam's face was hot, and he didn't say anything.

Xenas stepped forward and patted him on the chest. smiled: "Look at your appearance, aren't you very energetic?" Don't pretend to be innocent, I'm going to have a good fight with you and see how much you've grown. ”

"Then you have to be careful, Uncle Xenas. Alam has been improving by leaps and bounds this time, and it doesn't seem to be long before he replaces you as the number one general in the Dils Army. Jamo on the side spoke.

Xenas turned his head to look at the intelligence director. If it had been said by someone else, there might have been some bluffing, but Jamo's information had always been known for its accuracy, and what he usually said was full of flattery. However, for intelligence descriptions, Xenas will place 60% trust. But what came out of his mouth was: "Alam's speed is indeed a threat, but it will take at least ten years to beat me." ”

"Of course, Lord Xenas's martial bravery is very admirable, but Lord Alam's fast sword, even if he is a lord now, it will be difficult to get rid of it once it is suppressed." Jamo still refuses to give up, and continues to stir his lips and tongue.

Xenas shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not enough without experiencing it yourself. Isn't it, Alam. ”

Alam smiled crookedly. Said: "That's true, uncle, then you have to be careful." ”

As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Lord Dils Lord Li Tianhao has arrived!" ”

Everyone turned around and looked at the door. I saw Li Tianhao striding in, followed by the captain of the Praetorian Guard, the Nubian giant Agobar, and the vice-captain Katzsius.

"Your Excellency has arrived. Very well, please take a seat. Let's start the meeting right away. Li Tianhao did not have any extra politeness. Straight into his seat. The crowd also took their seats.

Katzsius held up a roll of parchment, and Li Tianhao unfolded it. "The first thing I do today is to bring you good news. Some of you may already know about it, so let's listen to it again. Between last year and this year, food production in the Tiers region increased by 40 percent compared to last year, while grain production in the Napatis and Epsommilton regions increased by 25 percent compared to last year. You must know that in terms of climatic factors, the climate last year was not as good as the previous year, and such a bumper harvest was mainly due to the development and personnel training of these places by Lord Wei Song. With such a harvest, our grain reserve problem has been greatly alleviated, and the people's morale in the territory has stabilized a lot. With our current grain reserves, it should be sufficient for us to launch an offensive against Yaqui this year, and for this purpose I have sent Lord Shevuda to the Dils region to take charge of the transportation of grain and grass. ”

When the generals heard that they could attack, they were all overjoyed. You must know that the area of Epsommiton was attacked by the Yaqui priest army last year, and the battle was fought quite hard, and it also caused the death of Rolandsis, and the generals have long been holding back their revenge. Moreover, if the Diers army made military merits in the war, they could obtain corresponding rewards by virtue of their military merits, ranging from gold and silver treasures to land and mansions, especially the high-ranking generals, so it can be said that everyone in the Diels army is looking forward to fighting, which is their road to glory.

Li Tianhao paused for a moment and continued: "For the upcoming battle, we must make full logistical preparations, and it is now planned that Lord Bodeka will be the commander-in-chief of the rear support, responsible for the deployment of military quarters in the rear of the army, and Lord Lysius will be responsible for the transportation affairs of Napatis and Epsmilton. ”

"Yes." Bodecka and Lysius stood up and saluted.

Li Tianhao waved his hand to signal them to sit down, and then continued: "Let's talk about the second thing, this matter is not very happy. Yesterday evening, Chagora sent his adopted son, Mokadu, to report that something was going on in Palchi, our great rear, and that something was going on. Because the Priest Ancadiri had shown considerable success in his missionary work, and his preaching method was not approved by the High Priest of Kumbagir, the High Priest of Kumbagir caused a great storm in Palci, for which His Majesty was put under considerable pressure, and he was in a dilemma. But this is not the point of the matter, the point is that the nobles who were originally on the side of Khambagir have shown a neutral attitude on the matter. ”

Li Tianhao's statement made most of the generals a little confused, and Alam asked with some hesitation: "Boss, are you sure you are not wrong?" Is the neutrality of the aristocracy the point of the matter? ”

Wei Song answered for him and the other generals on the side: "Here's the thing. Originally, these nobles were gathered under the banner of the High Priest of Kumbagir, so they should have joined High Priest Kumbagir to challenge His Majesty the King in order to increase the feasibility of the matter. Moreover, what we did last year was actually quite unfavorable to the nobles, whose children did not gain substantial benefits other than false fame, so their neutrality seemed very strange. If there was any reasonable reason, it was that they did not need to put pressure on His Majesty the King, and that Khambagir's actions were nothing more than a bluff. ”

"You mean they have bigger moves to come?" Xenas interjected.

"Exactly. My judgment and that of my lord is that they have the potential to start a rebellion. (To be continued......)
