Chapter 335: Persuasion
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" In the council of the palace, a group of representatives of the mage family sat together, their expressions extremely solemn.
This unprecedented crisis did not surprise them, but His Majesty's response made them even more unexpected.
The execution of thirty-four former imperial generals made everyone here gasp.
In their eyes, this is what only a madman should do!
Although the people of the mage family are very unfriendly with the imperial military, they still know each other's proportions, because both sides know that the other is an indispensable part of the empire, and they never thought of directly erasing each other one day.
However, His Majesty did this, thirty-four generals, even if they are not from the Xiwu family, they know how many resources are needed to cultivate a general, and the birth of every golden knight is extremely valuable, which requires a person's qualifications, luck and a huge amount of resources, and ensures that in the case of the fierce battlefield in the north, it is a small probability.
The empire has developed to this day, and almost all the people in the north are martial, with the perfect chain of knight academies and bastard groups, plus the wealth accumulated by more than ten generations of kings, the number of generals that can be supported is only a hundred.
Thirty-four, if you don't count the retired generals, it's almost the sum of the number of generals in service, and such a force, the king said that he would be strangled?
Just as he was thinking, the door of the meeting opened, and Gavin slowly walked in wearing his father's armor of glory, with an astonishing momentum.
Of course, it wasn't Gavin himself who was striking, but the two knights who were wrapped in armor behind him.
Who are these two?
The mages present looked at the two knights who were armed to the teeth and wondered, there was a disturbing force in them, just two of them, but they could suppress the atmosphere of the mages present and did not dare to breathe.
This kind of oppressive force has never been experienced even by Marshal Rox....
When did the king have such a powerful man under his command?
Dieter, the successor of the Meghan family, and Udis, the president of the council next to him, looked at each other, in fact, they were thinking about a question before, what kind of force did the king use to strangle these thirty-four generals?
No one here would believe that those general-level masters would be loyal to the point of being killed.....
Now it seems that this king has a power they did not expect.....
"Rox has defected!!" After Garvin sat down in front of the council president Udis first, the first words made the hearts of the mages present sink!
Sure enough, the king finally had to point the finger at Marshal Rox!
In fact, they had thought before that the other party even dared to kill thirty-four generals, how could they still keep Marshal Rox?
"How did Your Majesty determine that Marshal Rox has defected?" Udis, the head of the council opposite, asked in a low voice.
After all, he is a former imperial marshal, and he can't help the king strangle this empire's only remaining legendary hero without asking anything.
"I recruited him into the palace, but he refused!" Jiawen said lightly.
After hearing this, all the mages rolled their eyes and said in their hearts: This is not nonsense? The people you summoned into the palace before were all killed by you, how much less heart and eyes do others have to be called into the palace?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is at a critical juncture, and I need your help....."
Udis's eyelids twitched, he looked at a serious Jiawen, and said secretly in his heart: If you don't do it, the empire will be very stable.....
"How does the king want us to help you?"
Gavin: "The traitorous Rox took advantage of the fear of the infected soldiers to control them and demanded that we let them out of the city, nominally for the safety of the empire, to let the infected soldiers be stationed outside the city, but in fact they were plotting against the ....."
The mages looked at each other, all looking at each other with expressions on their faces, and Udis frowned, "This proposal does the king think is inappropriate?" Now that the infected soldiers are clearly on the verge of rioting, there is nothing wrong with forcibly isolating them and sending them to camp outside the city? ”
"What if he just left with someone?" Jiawen said suddenly.
"This ......" all the mages were stunned when they heard this, and Udis frowned: "Why did Lord Rox do this?" ”
"Who knows the motive?" Jiawen sneered: "Just like this inexplicable mutation, who can say that it is not artificial?" What is the man-made motive? ”
If only people's motives for you were obviously greater than Rox's, wouldn't you? The mages said secretly in their hearts.
"You have to think clearly......" Gavin's tone became eerie, "What if that group of mutated soldiers was brought to your respective clan's territory by Roque?" ”
Everyone: "........"
"You have also seen the power of this infection, this is still the situation where the imperial capital has enough force and suppressed it quickly, according to statistics, millions of people have been killed and injured, if it is in your territory, or even those cities in the south, what will be the consequences? Weigh ...... yourselves."
"This ..... Marshal Rox wouldn't do that, would he? A mage in the left row said with a sigh.
"What if?" Jiawen's eyes were gloomy: "Let's not talk about whether the mastermind is him or not, even if it is not him, how long can he suppress those soldiers?" What if those soldiers don't have a treatment plan? After being isolated and watched outside the city for a long time, how long can they maintain their loyalty under this oppressive situation? ”
"Uh......" The imperial mages suddenly looked at each other, what the other party said was actually reasonable, at this time, Rox can stabilize those soldiers with his own prestige, it does not mean that he can always be stable, people are selfish, in this case, who knows if they will run away for their lives?
If one escapes and runs to another city......
Thinking that their family city was going to face such a catastrophe as the imperial capital, many mages suddenly became a little unstable.....
Seeing the expressions of the people around him, a smile flashed in Jiawen's eyes, and continued: "I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately, I'm just for the empire, the reason why I want to strangle those generals who have contributed to the empire is also for the sake of the empire, you know, if that group of people flees from the imperial capital for their lives, what kind of situation will it cause?" ”
"This ......" Udis was stunned, to be honest, he didn't know how to refute for a while.
Although Jiawen's methods are extreme, it has to be said that ..... It seems to be the truth..... The human heart is unpredictable, and at this time, no one can guarantee that those soldiers or infected generals will not run away for their lives.....
Although the preemptive strike is a little cruel, it has to be said that there seems to be nothing wrong with considering the big picture.....
But for some reason, Udis always felt that if he agreed to Jiawen's request..... Something horrible can happen.....
Seeing that all the mages did not object anymore, a smile flashed in his eyes, to be honest, with the power he now has at his disposal, he is not afraid of the Mage Council at all, but as the Shadow Stream said, it would be too wasteful for these mages to kill like this.....
They.... But they are all good containers for digesting the energy of black goats.....
