Volume 1: Pride Chapter 19: But a latecomer
"Of course, I just said that the army's losses in the face of those mutant beasts are very large, so ......"
"So you decided to rebuild a new army?" Ronald raised an eyebrow, as if he had expected the man in front of him to say this.
"That's right, since there has been no war for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the existing army of the empire is very low, so it is not surprising that this kind of damage will occur. In addition, the personnel who reorganize the army can be recruited from those affected areas, and the extent of the damage can be mitigated in an instant. Of course, mercenaries can also be recruited, and although they are not subject to control, they are indeed much more effective than those existing soldiers. ”
"I guess you have some other reason for doing this, right?"
With his knowledge of the people in front of him, Ronald didn't believe he would help others train the army in vain, especially during such a sensitive period.
"That's right, this army can be divided into two parts, light and dark, except for the part that fights outside, and the rest can be directly incorporated into our own belonging. Of course, if you want, even the part on the surface can be used as a dark piece in our follow-up plan. ”
"Well, since you've already planned it, then I won't interfere with anything, but...... Have you found a candidate for the general? You should know that the person's location is important. ”
In addition to its own combat effectiveness, it is more important for a unit to have a good general, so that it can play a greater role in battle.
"This is not available yet, after all, this idea was just considered by me yesterday, but if you are really in a hurry, there is a ready-made one, and it is absolutely easy to use."
"Who?" Ronald looked at Navis with some curiosity, knowing that the eye of this thing in front of him is very picky, it can be said that no one in the entire empire, including the head of the knights, can really make him look at it.
"Dawn Moon Avelina Evelina."
Navis hooked his lips, and the old god was on the ground watching Ronald's reaction. You must know that he has been busy enough during this time, and more than half of them are related to the owner of this name, although he is not enough to find himself to theorize, but it is still possible to give the culprit a headache.
Sure enough, Ronald subconsciously frowned after listening to Navis's advice, and although he didn't immediately deny it, his inner struggle was still obvious. In terms of ability, he does not deny Xiao Yueluo, but from a personal point of view, he ...... I don't know why, he doesn't want Xiao Yueluo to get involved in this kind of thing at all now, and even wants her to stay away more than once, but he also knows the impossibility of this kind of thing, so he has to try not to intervene as much as possible.
"Tell me why."
Just when Navis yawned and almost fell asleep, Ronald slowly opened his mouth, but the sharp eyes seemed to say: If you don't tell me why, I'll deduct your salary. Hawkers, anyway, no matter what Ronald thinks at the moment, but at least that's what Navis thinks at the moment.
"First, her own strength is not bad, and it can be said that there are few opponents within the empire; Second, since she was able to train a unit like the Knights of the Rose, she would be able to do it again; There are also those mercenaries, most of them are from the countryside, and I think it is difficult to get along with the generals of the empire because of the difference in living habits. ”
"You mean that only she can tame those mercenaries?"
"Who knows?" Navis shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent, "It's you, have you decided?" ”
"So be it."
As if all his strength had been emptied, Navis had just left the office and Ronald sat down in his chair.
"Next...... What are you here to do? ”
The dazed eyes instantly became sharp, and Ronald looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, with a wary face.
With long white hair and white clothes, he stood quietly like a holy statue, but if you look closely, you can find the smile that does not reach the bottom of your eyes.
"I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still like a fried cat?"
"Get out, this is not the place for you to come."
Ronald took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Although he was not in a hostile relationship with the person in front of him, he personally did not like him, especially because he was particularly disgusted by the holy image.
"The second prince has not forgotten that I can go anywhere in this imperial capital."
"What does your agreement with that man have to do with me?"
In addition to his own rejection, there is also the fact that this person has a deep connection with the person in the palace, but no one knows what it is.
"Hehe, the more I grow up, the less cute I become, obviously I used to be so sticky." The man shook his head, the smile on his face making this sentence even more eerie, "But I'm not here to quarrel with you, but for that person." ”
"That person?" There was a moment of confusion in his mind, but then Ronald reacted: "What do you want to do?" I warn you, if you dare to fight Xiao Yueluo's idea, I will definitely not let you go! ”
There was a killing intent in his voice, and this was the first time Ronald had spoken to the person in front of him in this tone.
The head of the Archacical Church is the identity used by the people in front of him when he first came to the imperial capital twenty-two years ago. For more than 20 years, he took him as an apprentice, taught him martial arts, and even taught him the way to lead the army. So even if it was hateful, Ronald never showed hostility, but now......
"Little Nader, don't forget...... Everything about you is what I have taught you. ”
The white figure disappeared in an instant, and appeared behind Ronald in the next second, and at the same time, Ronald's figure was deflected, and his footsteps moved slightly and left the place where he was standing.
"It's grown a lot."
Seeing that his attack failed, the man in white was not annoyed, but nodded his head to express his affirmation.
"After all, a dangerous person like you, if you don't keep a hand, I'm afraid you won't even have any bones left, no, maybe you don't even count as a human being."
More than 20 years have not left a trace on the faces of the people in front of them, just as they saw when they were children, without the slightest change. In fact, there are many rumors about this person in the empire, and the most eye-catching one is this ageless face. Some say he's an oracle, others say he's the embodiment of demons, but Ronald leans towards the latter.
"It's really a ruthless evaluation, but you're right, I'm really not human." Amber pupils stared at Ronald, and the man in white shook his head and spoke again, "But so what? At least I can do what I want to do, what about you? And how? ”
"Besides, I've known her for more than you think, and you, at best, are a latecomer."
"You ...... guy"
Before the anger that was aroused could be vented, the person in front of him disappeared completely.
What is he here for? Is it just to warn me?
After calming down, Ronald began to think about what the man in white had said, but he still didn't find anything.
Is it really just to warn me? But what did he say about the time he and Xiao Yueluo met?
Pressing his doubts to the bottom of his heart, Ronald did not intend to tell anyone else about it, after all, he understood that no one would believe it even if he said it, so a holy person would be like this.
