782. Interests are impossible to give up (5000 words)
"Your Highness!"
Came to the city lord's mansion in this city, and Li Kai ignored the respect of the guards at the gate.
After walking in, seeing a group of old nobles and the legion commander deliberating, Li Kai just quietly walked to the side. Don't mix these things with them at all.
"This is already the last kingdom on our way. So everybody has to work harder. Don't be careless because our goals are about to be over. ”
"We have taken down all the important places on the border. It is only a matter of time before the Kingdom of Lua is destroyed by us. Don't worry too much.
Instead, I think we can hand over their information to the two legions on either side of us.
Only in this way will we be able to ensure the victory of our route and reap more benefits in the future. The other nobleman also spoke softly at this moment.
The deputy commander of the fifteenth legion glanced at the nobleman with the title of count. He glanced at the other party without the slightest expression, and then looked at the legion commander who didn't care about anything, Li Kai.
"Your Highness, what should we do? Isn't it necessary to ......"
Li Kai, who was sitting in the shadow of the corner, raised his head and looked at the deputy commander, the old marquis of the West French Empire. An old fox who knows how to protect himself very well.
"Not busy continuing to get more benefits. We have now accomplished all the goals we have set on this route. Then first submit an application for merit to the West French Empire. The reward that deserves to be given, the gift that deserves to be given, and the bereavement to the bereavement. Let the soldiers who do not want to continue fighting begin to rest. As for the rest of the soldiers who want to continue to get credit, rest well and set off again. Sometimes it's not good to be tense all the time. In the right situation, you still need to relax and relax. ”
As soon as Li Kai's words fell, the earl disagreed with Li Kai's words and stood up:
"Your Highness, this will not work. You know, if this happens, there will be a lot of soldiers and professionals who choose not to continue fighting. You know, although we have come all the way to victory. But there are also a lot of dead and wounded soldiers, and once such an opening is released, it will have a great impact. ”
Li Kai squinted at the other party, and then retracted his gaze to look at the hungry marquis: "Just inform all the soldiers of this order." Let them know that after this fight, if they can survive, then they have the right to choose whether to continue fighting or recuperate. ”
"No, I don't agree. You must know that we are the first legion that will complete the set goal, and if we don't hurry up and continue to expand the results at this time, then we don't need to fight so eagerly.
It's not easy to get the benefits yet, and I will never agree with your statement, Your Highness. I do not agree to tell the soldiers about such a decision, to tell those professionals. ”
Li Kai got up suddenly, then turned around and walked outside: "I'm going to rest." Lord Marquis, you should know what to do. ”
The old marquis stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Li Kai, who was walking outside with his back to him: "Yes, Your Highness, I understand how to deal with it." ”
When Li Kai disappeared from their field of vision, the earl looked at the old marquis with an angry face: "Marquis Poli, this is not good." Our family chose the Fifteenth Legion for profit. Now that we are finally ahead of the progress of one or two kingdoms of other legions, we will not let our interests expand at this time, so when will they expand? ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! We just looked at the 15th Legion, and we saw that His Highness was favored by Emperor Sauron and Queen Tanner to choose the 15th Legion. And that's the time it gets. We are not allowed to expand our harvest. It's a bit unreasonable to put this anywhere. ”
When Li Kai was here, they didn't dare to talk nonsense. But at this time, Li Kai was gone. Naturally, they have to get enough benefits for themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to stay in the position of head of the family.
The old marquis looked at the slightly moving curtain that was blown by the wind. He knew very well that these words were actually for Li Kai who had left.
After all, the other party had just come out of this room, and it was impossible to have a voice that could not hear everyone immediately continue to talk. So they all told Li Kai again that without them, Li Kai would not have been able to dispose of the kingdoms on this route so quickly. So let Li Kai also consider their demands.
But for this, the old marquis is not optimistic about them. First, what did Li Kai rely on to sit in the position of commander of the 15th Army Corps? That's because Sauron the Great and Queen Tanner admired it together, not by their flattery.
Second, do you really think that your families played a big role in the battle? It's ridiculous, okay? Compared with the soldiers of the West French Empire and the professionals in the army, there is nothing wrong with saying that they are greedy for life and afraid of death.
So if you want to use the soldiers of the empire to help them collect benefits, do you really regard Li Kai, His Royal Highness, as a blind man?
So the old marquis glanced at the others with contempt: "Convey His Highness's order." Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it. ”
"Marquis Poli, no. We ......"
"Do you really mean that what Your Highness says is not counting? Or do you think that His Highness's failure to interfere with the military affairs of this battle means that the other party is not good at speaking? You know, I'm only the deputy commander. temple
The next is the real commander of the Fifteenth Legion. A single word from the other party can make the fifteenth legion kill us all. Do you still think that you should block what the other side says is a military order? ”
In a word, everyone here couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that under a series of victories, plus they are about to reap higher benefits, they really forgot about Li Kai, the captain of the legion.
The main reason is because Li Kai is too non-existent to give orders or anything in this legion battle. Therefore, everyone felt that the fifteenth army was up to them. That's why they feel like we should do what we want.
Otherwise what are we spending so much effort for?
But at this time, the words of the old Marquis of Polly instantly woke them up. That's right, the Fifteenth Legion was never theirs. But if it is said that it is Li Kai's, it can also be said that it is the empire's. But in fact, the real control was still in the hands of Sauron the Great.
This was cultivated by Emperor Sauron. Who dares to stretch out their claws indiscriminately? Don't you want to die?
So for a while, everyone's faces had some sneering expressions, and they looked at each other and couldn't figure anything out.
"Alright, let's go down and deliver the Legion Commander's orders. It's useless to stay with me, it's not good for me to speak. Looking at the group of people who had woken up from the benefits, the old marquis sighed, and then slowly closed his eyes, no matter how others continued to look at him.
And the others also sighed and walked outside, thinking that such a big benefit was gone. They were all very distressed from time to time.
As for the benefits you have gained along the way, it is enough. Are you kidding? How can that be enough? Besides, that's what was supposed to be theirs. So they never think it's superfluous. This has long been a sure harvest of their own products.
So after a person went out, they didn't want to convey the news that Li Kai wanted them to convey.
The lieutenant general beside the old marquis, that is, the spokesman of the old marquis's family, walked to the side of the old marquis of Polly: "Father, do you really give up the interest of rest?" You know, we're so far ahead. If we could, at least there were two kingdoms that we could reap. ”
The old Marquis of Polly glanced at his son, sighed, and then opened his mouth and said, "It seems that such a disadvantage is absolutely impossible to eliminate. ”
His son looked at the old Marquis of Polly in astonishment: "Father, what do you mean by that?" ”
The old Marquis Polly shook his head: "I mean, since you have become a nobleman, you will inevitably become a person who likes to fight for power and profit. But you've forgotten what really made the Polly family have a strong voice in the West French Empire. ”
Frowning at his father, he asked with a little confusion, "Father, what is it?" ’
"It's following the steps of the Sifa family."
"Huh?"
"It will only take a few decades for the Western French Empire to become the strongest empire in the Southern Continent. And our family was originally just a small family. Not even the Baroness.
So why did we become the most famous family in the West French Empire and even in the material world? It's not because we're following in the footsteps of Sauron the Great.
Everything in the family has been rewarded by Emperor Sauron, when do we need to fight for power and gain it?
If you look at why the Marquis have become the deputy commanders of the various legions, it is because we know that we can only benefit better by following Sauron the Great and following the royal family.
It is precisely because of this that we will not be blinded by a little profit, and we will gain the trust of Sauron the Great.
Therefore, we must not do crooked ways and things that harm the interests of the empire and let your family reap the benefits. Otherwise, you'll be able to see what happens to the Ansher family right away. ”
frowned and looked at the old Marquis of Polly, and the other party was very confused by the words of the old Marquis of Polly.
Because his father's words are simply worthless to belittle his family. It's as if without Sauron the Great, without the royal family, the Polly family would be a piece of garbage on the street, worthless.
To be honest, he simply couldn't accept such a statement. Because this is not the powerful and prosperous Polly family in his eyes.
Since he was born, the Polly family has been one of the most powerful forces in the West French Empire, an empire without a duke's family, except for the royal family. Therefore, judging his family as if it were garbage, he would never agree to it.
And the old Marquis of Polly also seemed to see his son's disapproval, and he shook his head gently: "You still have too little knowledge, you will understand later." And by that time, you will understand everything. And that time is definitely not far away. ”
The other party didn't care, and even waited for the scene that his father said. He wanted to see what the Polly family, who had been in charge of the Fifteenth Legion, still needed to fear. Why don't you even give up the low-hanging benefits?
……
After knowing that this battle is over, you can rest, you can collect all the previous gains, and you can go back to enjoy life.
Originally, the morale of the Fifteenth Army Corps was already low, and it was already because of the company
Although the continuation of the battle was vigorous, there was also a little war-weariness, and it disappeared without a trace.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, there has never been a time when the Fifteenth Legion has had such an aura. The way he stared at the territory of the Luya Kingdom like a greedy beast, even those major family forces hiding behind the fifteenth legion couldn't help but burst out with their hearts.
Under such morale, in just over two months, the Kingdom of Lua was occupied by the front of the Fifteenth Army Corps. And Li Kai also led people to catch up with the royal family members of the Lua Kingdom who planned to go to sea and escape.
Under the killing of the shadow creatures, the other party turned into the final goal of Li Kai's mission, and with all the royal family members dead, Li Kai's next mission was also completed.
Li Kai exhaled softly.
The five consecutive missions have allowed Li Kai to gain a lot of career level rewards, and it has also allowed Li Kai to replenish his shadow life. At the very least, the shadow commander he could control was made up by Li Kai.
A full ten shadow commanders made Li Kai comparable to any of the rest of the fourth-order professions and other mages even without the help of other shadow lives.
After all, there is no mage of the same level who can release a fourth-level spell 50 times like Li Kai. Not to mention the protection of the Shadow Knight, Li Kai didn't have to worry about anything when facing the attack of the fourth-order spell.
So Li Kai smiled very brightly.
All the shadow lives merged into Li Kai's shadow. Li Kai, who was sitting on the throne in a huge palace, opened his eyes and looked at the crowd below.
The deputy commander of the fifteenth legion, the old Marquis Poli, the senior legion of the fifteenth legion, the leader of the earl family, the viscount family, and the baron family. One by one the meritorious people who have survived this way.
Looking at these people, Li Kai finally opened his true heart at the banquet and began to speak.
"After more than a year and nearly two years of conquering the five kingdoms, everyone who sat down again has worked hard. I am here to thank you for your contribution to the West French Empire. The rewards in the legion are all on the internal route, so I won't say much about it. But beyond that, I will give you another reward as the commander of my fifteenth legion. That's what I said. Old Marquis Polly, can you handle the reward later? ”
The old Marquis of Polly smiled and nodded, looked at Li Kai and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured." I'll definitely take care of it. There will never be any deductions. ”
Li Kai nodded expressionlessly, and then it seemed that something sounded: "Near us are the Fourteenth and Sixteenth Legions, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The five strongest legions and the sixth~tenth legions have gone to defend against possible attacks on the Western Continent and the Northern Continent. So the remaining legions were divided into six routes. The Fourteenth Legion and the Thirteenth Legion are together. The target is seven countries. Already hit the fifth. On the other side, the Sixteenth and Twentieth Army Corps were targeting five countries, and now they have reached the fourth. ”
The old Marquis of Polly spoke it very skillfully. It's as if I've been prepared for a long time. Just waiting for Li Kai's question.
And Li Kai also glanced at the old Marquis of Polly, and then the corners of his mouth rose: "It seems that the deputy commander still knows me very well, since this is the case, then the information of the kingdom that has not yet been invaded must also be understood." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, it has already been collected. Do you need to watch it now? ”
Li Kai nodded, and the old Marquis of Polly saw Li Kai like this and gestured to his son beside him, and then the head of the Polly family came to Li Kai with a blank face and put it down in front of Li Kai.
Seeing Li Kai carefully watching the intelligence, the faces of those who had meritorious deeds and the generals of the 15th Legion changed color. And the people of each family looked surprised, but they looked like this, looking at Li Kai who was looking at the information above.
The people of the Fifteenth Legion were not worried about Li Kai's intention to go back on his word and continue to launch an attack on the rest of the kingdoms on both sides. If you want to fight, the Fifteenth Army can still fight. What they were worried about was that Li Kai had said at the beginning that after defeating the Lua Kingdom, the soldiers who wanted not to continue fighting could rest.
They feared that the recurrence of the incident would cause the soldiers to complain. You must know that this is something that affects combat effectiveness, so they can't help but not worry about it.
However, the people of various aristocratic families thought that Li Kai's appearance at this time was the most correct. It was just to motivate the soldiers. Li Kaike is a member of the royal family of the West French Empire, the largest nobleman in the West French Empire, and the largest family of the West French family.
They are all the same, they are all superior people, and they are people who are born to collect benefits, so it is not surprising that Li Kai is doing such a thing now, and even the people of other families and nobles have begun to study how to reap more benefits.
Li Kai eats meat, and it is absolutely not okay for them to drink soup. At the very least, they need to eat some big bone sticks with shredded flesh. Otherwise, they would never agree.
Some aristocrats have already begun to think about how to deal with Li Kai in the future. A young man can fool as much as he wants. The interests of the family are the most important thing. Anyway, Li Kai is just a prince, and he is not the heir of the empire, so he doesn't need to leave any emotional problems with the other party.
