Chapter Ninety-Four: Choice
Trembling, most of the meal was eaten.
Finally, the queen spoke: "Now, although the crisis of Iron Fist Fortress has been eliminated, there are still many crises in this fucking environment, not to mention anything else, just werewolves and vampires......"
Speaking of this, the queen paused and looked around: "Werewolves and vampires are fundamentally at odds with us, they feed on us, and they have always longed to enslave us and treat us like cattle and sheep. Outside, the 100,000 cultists of the evil gods were still wandering outside the fortress, and those demonic beasts could attack Dlov at any time. Putting that aside, even the ghouls in the city haven't been cleaned up yet, so I propose that we gather all our armies and unify them to increase our combat effectiveness. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people below changed greatly, and there was a commotion, even Duke Pande, who had always been calm outside, changed his face, and then sneered and clapped his hands: "Good idea, this is what I wonder about who is in charge of the army?" Could it be Prince Gross? ”
Gross next to the queen sat upright, straightened his collar, and nodded: "Who else but me?" ”
Silent! The hall fell silent.
It stands to reason that it would be the most appropriate Commander Gross.
First of all, he has military exploits, and secondly, he has the strongest personal strength, no matter which aspect, he is the only one, except for political factors.
However, the most important thing is the political factor.
In this hall, half of them belonged to the camp of the Duke of Pande, then 13 were two-faced, and finally the queen was on the queen's side.
In the past, the reason why the queen was able to support it was all because of Gross's amazing combat effectiveness and his prestige in the army, which gave the queen the strength to flip the table.
But this kind of power, like a nuclear bomb, can only be used as a deterrent, and once used, it is a lose-lose outcome.
Therefore, it can only be used as a bottom line to maintain the situation, not to go further.
And now, Gross has befriended a strong man like Angela, and with the trend of returning from a big victory, he has returned to Delov with the elite of the 3000 Iron Fist Legion, and the prestige in the army is even better, and the balance in the hearts of many neutrals has begun to tilt in favor of the queen, so it has brought an opportunity.
Today is the time to take advantage of this opportunity.
"No, don't even think about it!"
A middle-aged nobleman shouted loudly, breaking the silence in the hall.
This middle-aged nobleman was the anti-king force on the side of Duke Pande, and his position was that of the commander of the Delov garrison, and once the army was collected, it was his interests that took the lead, and he naturally wanted to oppose it.
Duke Pande also spoke: "What if we say no? ”
On his side are also the two positions of head of the Court Knights and head of the Griffin Knights, nominally controlling the Court Knights and the Griffin Knights, although these two positions are not very stable, at least half of them will not listen to him, but he still does not want to give up, because once he gives up, both of them will be owned by Gross, not even half of them.
Now in this city, the army is divided into two legions and two knights.
There are 3,000 people in total, from the Iron Fist Legion of Iron Fist Fortress.
A total of 2,000 people, responsible for guarding the patrol garrison corps.
There were 300 men in total, responsible for guarding the palace and ceremonies, and the court knights were composed of the children of the nobility.
There are a total of 50 people, all of whom are extraordinary in combat, and they are the only air units in the entire kingdom.
And among these two legions and the two major knights, the Iron Fist Legion, which has the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness, has been completely controlled by Gross because they are fighting side by side.
And the Griffin Knights are the symbol of the Guffen Kingdom, the existence of the strongest individual combat effectiveness, so they worship the strong, plus Gross was originally a member of the Griffin Knights, so even if the head of the Knights is a member of the anti-king forces, half of them are still controlled by Gross, and the remaining part is neutral, and a small part is on the side of the anti-king forces.
As for the Court Knights, although this knight nominally exists to defend the queen, but because the members are all composed of noble children, this knight itself symbolizes the interests of the nobility, so a large part of them are diehard loyalists of anti-king forces, but because of the queen's identity and the prestige of Gross itself, there are more neutrals in this knighthood.
Finally, there is the garrison legion, whose members are complex, including the sons of craftsmen, the sons of merchants, and those who have been soldiers for generations, as well as hot-blooded young people, descendants of nobles, children of declining nobles, etc., etc., their own combat effectiveness is not weak, but it is not strong. In short, it can't be ignored, but there is no need to care too much, but the legion in such an embarrassing situation that is of great use at a critical moment has a strong combat effectiveness and sometimes a weak one, depending on how the commander is, and now the middle-aged nobleman who controls this legion is not very good, but he is not a mediocre talent, so the combat effectiveness of this legion is mediocre. Such a legion, as long as the position of corps commander is in the hands of whom, can be regarded as basically belonging to whom, and now it belongs to the anti-king forces.
So in general, from the army, the queen's side has the upper hand, but it can't completely overwhelm the anti-king's side.
And the force of the anti-king forces is not only in the army, but also in their private captivity masters and private soldiers, which is their real hole card.
However, although the army is not their hole card, it is also one of their bargaining chips, and it is impossible to give it to the queen like this.
So, they are definitely going to rebel.
"Don't pay it!" Gross grinned, "That's good. ”
He stood up, his biggest hand grasping the hilt of the flame greatsword that was more than a person high, and suddenly the flames burst out, and the temperature of the entire hall rose violently, and beads of sweat rolled down everyone's foreheads.
Sure enough, it's a Hongmen feast!
Duke Pande thought to himself, and hurriedly spoke: "Gross, do you really want to go to war with us? You know, we are not without the power to resist. ”
Faced with his weak threat, Gross smiled disdainfully: "Is there any of you who can carry my sword?" ”
Duke Pande's pupils shrank sharply, and he said hurriedly: "Our people are all outside the door, and as soon as there is a fight, they will immediately break in!" ”
How could they be unprepared for the banquet held by the queen at this time, but they didn't expect that Gross seemed to really plan to do it.
"When they break in, you're ......" Gross held out his left hand and pointed, "It's dead!" ”
Duke Pender stared at Gross, who looked at him unceremoniously.
Looking at the boiling flame in Gross's eyes, Pan Deguang couldn't help but open his eyes and said to the queen: "Pansy, Your Majesty, did you really let him come here?" ”
The queen smiled slightly: "Uncle, it has come to this point, what are you still hesitating about, there are only two choices today, the first is that Gross will kill you all, and then fight with your remnants, and the second choice is that you hand over all the military power." ”
