Chapter 41: The Southern Regions (5)

The attack of the famous general of the mountain came suddenly, just like the anger he had previously erupted, which made people completely unprepared, but in the eyes of others, it was more like a softness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Agasong sneered slightly: "It turns out that there are times when you dare not bear it." ”

Keros said with a blank face, "Or do you have a better way?" Bring it up for everyone's reference. ”

Agathon snorted coldly, but did not speak again.

Elise didn't answer immediately, the aftermath of this rush was too sensitive and complicated, like putting her hand into a thorn bush to straighten out a mess, and the slightest mistake would cut open her palm by sharp barbs, and the commander-in-chief of the Shadow Corps and the Grand Master of the Immortal Knights wisely chose to avoid it - at this time, their positions were surprisingly consistent.

But Elise felt that Kairos was not just evasive, or that his abrupt attack was just a cover for some deeper intention. It's just that Elise didn't dare to speculate rashly about the intention of the famous general of the mountain, that is, to spy on the distant mountain hidden in the mist, and never be able to see its full picture, all that can be seen is a gray shadow, its height, its steepness, its grandeur, all lurking in the shadows.

Elise's fingers tapped lightly on the hilt of the ornate sword, and she had already thought seriously about how to deal with the growing tension between the Shadow Corps and the Immortal Knightsβ€”and that was Marius's lesson to Elise, who had spent three nights writing a pompous program of governance.

"It's well written, at least theoretically speaking, there is no problem with implementation, of course, the effect in practice remains to be verified." Marius flipped to the last page and nodded noncommittally, "And your thoughts are too soft, take a step back and open the sky?" I don't know if Keros will budge, but Agathon certainly won't. ”

"Why?" Elise was a little puzzled.

"Because he is the Grand Master of the Immortal Knights, the Immortal Knights, the National Knights I appointed, and one of the representatives of the Empire's New Deal. If you want to describe what they have done in the past few years, 'pampered and proud' can encompass everything. Marius narrowed his eyes, "The Shadow Legion, which represents the old forces, has made concessions, and it is a matter of course; But if he makes a concession, what does that mean? It means that the New Deal is making concessions to the old empire! No matter how small the sacrifice, it will be exaggerated endlessly. So he will only go further, further and further, until he has been forced to an isolated corner, until there is no way to retreat, and everything he does can be said to be 'in the name of the emperor'! ”

"Elise, governing the country is not about inviting guests to dinner, you can't make the guests and hosts happy." "I built the carriage of the New Deal, but I couldn't drive it as I wanted, and I was forced to tie it to the wheels." And you are different, you still have the opportunity to hold the reins, go back and think about it, no longer need to write a long program, I just need one answer, one answer that is enough to make a final decision. ”

Father, I finally understand, what is the answer you want! Elise clenched the hilt of the ornate sword and said in her heart.

"According to the laws of the Empire, it should have been investigated to the end, and those involved should have been removed from the army." Elise spoke slowly, confidently. Agathon and Kairos both raised their eyebrows slightly, and the word "should have been" fell clearly in their ears, and they both realized that Princess Elise, or rather Emperor Marius's attitude towards the aftermath of the rush, was waiting for them after the turning point.

"However, considering that this is an extraordinary period and the military strength of the empire has never been weakened, every officer is a priceless treasure, not to mention that they are all the top elites of our country, so the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. How is it? Elise finished her plan and looked around the long table.

No one responded, everyone was pondering Elise's words, and the people involved in the rush were dismissed first, and then adapted? It seems to be impartial, everyone has a fifty big board, but the people present are all old foxes who have been in politics for a long time, except for Elise, and they all smell something different.

The first to break the silence was Priest Wendir, and the old man spoke cautiously: "May I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, how should I adapt it?" ”

"All of them are organized into a new formation, and the officers among them will be the backbone of the new unit, and the junior soldiers will be drawn from the major infantry regiments of the Empire." Elise said.

"No!" Justes frowned and said, "The Shadow Corps and the Immortal Knights have always been at odds, and it is difficult for people from these two forces to work together. ”

"Then wash off the brand on them and brand them with new ones." Elise interrupted Justes coldly, "Put the mark of gladiators on their faces, and spread their names throughout the army as a warning." The families of the dead and injured will not receive any compensation. ”

Everyone gasped and branded the gladiator's mark on the faces of the most elite noble soldiers? That's a great humiliation for them! Agathon stood up abruptly and stared straight at Elise: "They are all warriors who have made great achievements for the empire, I don't think it's appropriate!" ”

"General Agathon, what's wrong?" Elise said indifferently, looking up at the general who had personally tied the iron ring to her forearm, the majesty in her eyes as bright as the sun, "Or are you going to cover it up to the end?" Pampering to the end? ”

"It's not a matter of cover-up or connivance, I just think it's too humiliating to treat immortal knights and gladiators equally!" "They are the pride of the empire, and they don't deserve to be treated like this." May I ask you, princess, is this your majesty's ruling, or is it your personal opinion? ”

Elise raised her eyebrows, as if there was a fire burning in her eyes, she stood up, pushed the gorgeous sword onto the long table, and pressed forward like a female leopard, forcing her to look at Agathon: "Agathon Buyous, please look at the gorgeous sword of Bacchus, and repeat what you just said!" ”
