Chapter 753: No One Is Having a Hard Time (3)
"My lord, is that Brown? Who was it that just passed by him? "Under the leadership of the commander, Ruby and Chris, who was demoted before and now promoted back to the original position of legion commander, came to the city hall building, because the artillery of the Sunless Empire is currently unable to hit the Maple Leaf residential area, and this was originally the office and residence of the city lord of the Holy Light Harbor, so this has become the current command post in the rear of the Holy Light Harbor, except for a few legion commanders who are commanding operations at the front-line command post, that is, the Dawn Lighthouse, and the 3 legion commanders who have been determined to have been slaughtered by the Sunset Naga Legion, The rest of the legion commanders and high-ranking personnel of the Holy Light Harbor stationed in the Holy Light Harbor stayed here, analyzing and directing the entire battle situation.
The reason Ruby and Chris were here, in addition to the simple but necessary promotion ceremony that the city owner had to carry out on them, and the most important thing was to gather those with military talent to prepare for the operation - the previous meeting that demoted Chris was only an impromptu meeting, more than half of them did not come, and the discussion was only about what to do before.
This time, however, with the vast majority of the bigwigs present, the frontline battle has entered a brief period of confrontation - the defenders of Port of Light have built a new defensive line around the Dawn Lighthouse, and the Naga in the port area have already occupied the port area and are ready to gather forces to attack. Therefore, the city lord of Shengguang Harbor hoped to gather the existing forces and carry out a counterattack, as for what method to use in this counterattack, this city lord who is good at law and order and business does not know what to do. That's why there is the current rebellion.
As for what the city lord would do to reinstate Chris, this is something that many people did not expect, but it is reasonable. The reason why I didn't expect it was because in the eyes of many people, at this time, Chris was promoted back to the post of corps commander. It is very likely to cause confusion in the hearts of the army - in fact, everyone who came to this meeting knew that Chris could be said to be Brown's sworn enemy, and the reasonable reason is because everyone knew who was behind Chris - it was the old aristocratic faction of all the nobles of Harbor of Light.
Chris himself was born into a military family, and the family was a member of the aristocratic class, although it was not hereditary, but Chris's father was one of the more famous viscounts in the Holy Light Harbor. And Chris, who has a golden key in his mouth, shows his talent in military affairs when he is young. So with the help of his father and his father's friends, he went straight into the barracks and became a centurion, of course, a bauhinia type centurion.
At that time, Brown was also a centurion. But it's a centurion of the Red Mountain Flower type, and most importantly, Brown is a civilian, and has been in the army for 3 years, and the whole is a collection of soldiers. And this Chris, who directly became a centurion, happened to be in the same legion as him. What happened in this situation is self-evident: Chris is disgusted with Brown, who is a commoner, and Brown is not used to Chris's kind of guy who relies on his aristocratic status, and in less than a month, the two were arrested by the Legion Commander for a crowd fight.
And the result is the same as basically what will happen, although the legion commander is bigger than the viscount in the position, he does not dare to provoke the viscount, because it is very simple, when a nobleman is threatened. The truth of "the cold of the death of the lips" will appear in the minds of the nobles, and even those bad things between the nobles will be put down in an instant.
If this Legion Commander only touches that Viscount. Then he will stand directly on the opposite side of all the nobles in the Holy Light Harbor, in this case, the Legion Commander can only stand on Chris's side, but because Brown saved the Legion Leader's life in a previous battle, the Legion Commander finally interceded for the civilian officer, and Brown only lost the position of centurion, and had to be afraid to roll around from the small soldier again.
But for Brown, this is equivalent to killing him - the chances of a civilian becoming an officer are inherently small, Brown almost lost his life several times for this position, and you have removed Brown's position, isn't it equivalent to getting him to the cannon fodder and letting him die? In this way, the resentment between the two began to accumulate.
Later, Chris was transferred to other troops, that is, the legion that Chris now leads, relying on his excellent military talent to become a legion commander, and Chris began his 3-year legendary life, he first killed the legion commander who demoted himself from a small soldier here, and replaced his position, of course, the means used in this are above board on the positive side, and the handle of these means has not been discovered so far, and then Brown stepped into the aristocratic class and won over the nouveau riche and city lord of Holy Light Harbor, A large faction was formed in the Holy Light Harbor, and Chris's side was worried that he would be killed (Chris had always believed in his heart that Brown was definitely the culprit who killed the legion leader), so he went to the old aristocratic faction to oppose Chris's nouveau riche faction. So this time Brown took advantage of Chris's aggressive performance in parliament to get him down, which is exactly what everyone thinks, and Chris will definitely do something, and that's exactly what happened.
But Chris came back again, this is because the old nobles put pressure on the city lord - these old nobles forced the city lord to ask Chris to be in the position on the grounds that they broke the jar and did not put their private army into the front line, plus these old nobles said that their private soldiers would only obey Chris, and the words of other people's commands would shake the morale of the army, and they could not go to the battlefield without military experience, which can be said to be justified, so the city lord had to make a second decision. As for the reason why the old nobles did this, it was actually very simple: they didn't want Brown to be too good, after all, it would touch their interests, and as for the opposition, in the eyes of these old nobles, the condition that they had 10,000 private soldiers in their hands was enough to make anyone have nothing to say.
So seriously, it is impossible to confirm who is right and who is wrong between the two, anyway, this is recognized by everyone of the two major forces of the Holy Light Harbor, and besides, anyway, these two guys are just pawns in their own hands in the two major forces, that is, the upstart and the old noble, of course, if the two sides know who the black-robed man who assisted Brown is, then this view will be broken.
"Isn't this Master Chris? I didn't expect to see you here, hahaha. After seeing Chris appear, Brown immediately changed the serious and respectful look he had when he talked to the man in black robe before, but put on a smiling face and stepped forward to talk to Chris - this can't help it, anyone finally got their sworn enemy, but they stood intact in front of him in the next moment, everyone would be uncomfortable, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people around him who were afraid of causing trouble, Brown estimated that he would dare to do the action of breaking Chris a few teeth with a punch now, Because in Brown's opinion, this guy was going to kill himself by doing that before.
And for Brown who walked in front of him, Chris didn't have a good look on his face, after all, the position of the deputy city lord of Shengguang Port was originally his, and it was precisely because of the appearance of this guy in front of him that he missed the position of the deputy city lord, so that the opportunity for him to soar to the sky was destroyed by Brown, how could Chris be in a good mood, so for Brown's greeting, Chris made a cold snort, and then directly passed by him as if ignoring Brown, He even deliberately hit Brown with his shoulder.
But Bronke will not be so stupid, in the past few years of fighting with Chris, he has only been a civilian, and he has reached the level of real nobility with the help of the black-robed man, and other skills such as intrigue, plotting, and flickering are all at MAX, so seeing Chris's shoulder, Brown showed a sneer on his face, and then leaned forward, but Chris not only did not touch Brown, but his left chest was knocked down by Brown's counterattack.
The sharp pain instantly spread from Chris's waist to his brain, and Chris's anger also went directly to his heart, so Chris immediately stopped his pace and was about to punch Brown, but at about the same time, Ruby, who was standing next to Chris, suddenly pressed Chris's shoulder, and then said to him: "Captain Chris, if you fight back, it's your problem, now the task is heavy, and you can't be led by this guy." ”
As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, Ruby of course knows that Brown's approach is to provoke Chris to make him make mistakes again, and this kind of trick is basically a bad thing that the soldiers in the army drove out, as Ruby, who is also a soldier, of course knows that he can only be patient for the time being in the current situation, after all, Chris has been a passive party from the beginning, and he wants to get back a game, but it's so easy to talk about it.
"Humph!" Chris snorted lightly to express his agreement with Ruby's statement, and immediately strode towards the council hall where the city lord was staying, while Brown, who was standing behind Chris, sneered, although he was angry that Chris was disrupted by the follower he had never seen, but the black-robed man who left before said that this was just a temptation, and it didn't matter if he could succeed, anyway, now that Brown is in the dominant position, he can be said to be completely in control, and then he just needs to follow what the black-robed man said.
And just as Brown was standing in the corridor and planning the little ninety-nine in his heart, a guard trotted to Brown as if opening the door of the council hall, and said in a flattering and uneasy tone: "Lord Brown, the city lord has called you in for a meeting, and that Chris with a man named Ruby said that he would take over the position of deputy head of the legion in his hands, and besides, Chris guy has once again proposed a counterattack back to the port area."
"What? Hmph, it seems that Chris's guy still doesn't give up, so I'll let him die again, let's go. Hearing the counterattack back to the port area, Brown's face changed slightly, and then he said to the guard with a gloomy face, and strode to the council hall. (To be continued......)
