CHAPTER 58 - SECOND CHIEF OF STAFF OF THE DIELS ARMY
When he received the order to assemble all the generals, Brooks was still lying in his bed dreaming.
Sleepy-eyed, he rubbed his eyes, rolled over and sat up and looked out the window. In the past, Li Tianhao did like to hold meetings early in the morning, but he would not wake himself up from his sleep like today. Brooks yawned and said angrily, "Are you sure you got the timing right?" It's not dawn yet? โ
The messenger bowed his head and said, "It's true, Lord Brooks. Because today's meeting is likely to be long, the lord decided to start the meeting early. โ
"Okay, okay, you go back to life, I'll go right away." Brooks waved his hand to signal the messenger to go back, but continued to mumble, "This must be Wei Song's old fellow's idea, it seems that I have to toss all day today." โ
The second chief of staff of the Dils Army, who was reluctant to get out of bed, lifted the sheets and patted the woman next to her on the buttocks, signaling that she could leave. Then it was time to wash up.
Brooks was born into the family of Earl Arqui, and was a side branch of the royal family. However, this wise and brave aristocratic lord seems to be very dissatisfied with the corrupt political situation in Yaji, and has always refused to make a name for himself in Yaji's political arena, on the contrary, after being captured and surrendered to Li Tianhao, he has successively put forward various advice to Li Tianhao to help Li Tianhao build and stabilize the northern border area. Li Tianhao also admired him very much, and at Wei Song's suggestion, he made him the second chief of staff, and when Wei Song was not around, he took on the responsibility of directly making suggestions to Li Tianhao in all aspects, including internal affairs, foreign affairs, and military affairs. It can be seen how much he is appreciated by Li Tianhao and Wei Song. As a newly surrendered general, he was able to enter the highest decision-making center of the Diels army. It's really an unexpected reuse. Brooks did not fail in his mission, and did his best to use his wits to help the new lord strengthen every aspect of the kingdom.
Of course. As a veteran gentleman, Brooks is also unambiguous about pleasure. In addition to all kinds of material comforts, his interest in beautiful women was also the second most popular among the Dils. If he relies on his own charm and cultivation, he can win the hearts of many girls, but unfortunately this noble son thinks it is too troublesome, so he is more keen to recruit ** into the mansion to sleep. It is said that it is not the same woman who sleeps in his bed every night, which is why the messenger never dared to look up, because there was always a naked woman lying beside him.
After getting dressed, Brooks leisurely finished his breakfast before heading out on the horse and slowly heading towards the executive hall. I hadn't walked a few steps before I heard someone calling from behind. He turned his head and saw that it was Xenas and his faithful apprentice Eglius.
The red-haired giant is a full twelve years older than Brooks, and he can be said to be completely different from Brooks by being a mercenary, but I don't know why Xenas seems to be very interested in Brooks. Maybe it's because both of them are quite cynical in their attitude to life, or maybe it's because they are both regular customers of brothels. Since Xenas married Arina, the head of the Count of Palcherolraine's family, he stayed in Port Potsmo for a long time, until Alina successfully gave birth to a healthy and lively baby boy before releasing her husband back to Li Tianhao, and after returning to Epsmilton City, Xenas was busy reorganizing the affairs of the mercenary group. So today is the first time the two have met.
"Isn't this the second chief of staff, it's a blessing." Cenas greeted him at a loud voice.
Brooks bowed slightly, and smiled, "Lord Xenas, it's always rare. During your time in Epsommiton, the brothel business withered a lot. โ
"You're a joker, and you won't have any worries in these brothels. During my absence, you were unexpectedly prosperous. Not to be outdone, Xenas fought back.
Brooks took all of Cernus's sarcastic remarks. He smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Lord has finally realized the value of being below. Being able to make the best use of one's talents is also the most basic condition for a lord. โ
In the face of Brooks's unashamed words, Senas laughed. In fact, when it comes to the thickness of the face of the Diers, I am afraid that no one can match Xenas. Senas often does not have any rejection of other people's boasts, but feels close. He pointed to Eglius, who was following behind him, and smiled: "If this apprentice of mine had half the thickness of your face, I am afraid that he would have become the second in Xenas long ago." โ
Brooks looked back at Eglius, who bowed respectfully.
"That's true, if you talk about martial arts, I'm afraid you're already an outstanding figure in our army. However, he was fortunate not to be tainted by your vices, and to abide by his principles as always, which is not easy to do. In my opinion, the Orderer may not be the second of Senas anyway, but may become the second of Muller. โ
"Mueller, hehe." Xenus snorted. As a close confidant and friend of Li Tianhao, Mรผller was in charge of the most elite cavalry unit in the Diers. This princely handsome man was, according to Xenas, the least cheerful man in the world. For if Muller could make good use of his looks, he would probably have only needed a look to make the girls sleep willingly in his bed. But this handsome young man was like a basalt with indifferent indifference to any woman, and if it weren't for the fact that he finally married Elaine, the head of the Canno tribe, I'm afraid that Xenas would have suspected him of having a habit of breaking his sleeves. It is true that a large part of Eglius's personality is very close to that of Mรผller, and in this respect, the descendants of Xenus will take a completely different path from him, at least in terms of life.
Brooks couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Xenas's lost expression, and rode his horse to his side and whispered, "Actually, you don't have to be too disappointed, in my opinion, the precious apprentice of the lord is very likely to inherit your mantle in this regard." โ
Xenas raised his eyebrows: "That kid? โ
Brooks looked at him with strange eyes: "Don't you know yet? This kid secretly had a tryst with a girl from a farm last month, but was denounced by his father, and the lord had a headache for several days. I've also heard that this isn't his first woman. โ
"When did this kid become like this?" Xenas immediately showed interest in such gossip, and he looked back at Eglius to make sure he hadn't heard the conversation before continuing to inquire for details.
Brooks couldn't help but laugh and whispered: "This is also normal, this kid is also seventeen, and it is normal to have that kind of needs, can he still be like our lord, who is still confused about the affairs of men and women at an age?" You see that the matter between him and Miss Tia is still entangled, and it is not happy at all. Usually say something and hide it for fear of being seen by us, but in fact, we know very well about the two of them. Alas, what an immaturity. โ
"So much happened in my absence, you have to talk to me about it later." Senas said with interest.
The two of them got closer and closer, and to the eyes of Egrius behind them, the two men were really a good match, no matter how different their appearances were. (To be continued......)
