Chapter 193: Your Majesty's Visit
After the end of this tragic battle, the Dragon Knights Corps of Neo City existed in name only, and almost Nicholas was left with a bare-bones commander, and all the adult dragons blew themselves up heroically, and some reserve soldiers and young dragons that had not yet grown up did not have the ability to fight, so that the scene that made Nicholas feel irritated and even ashamed immediately appeared.
On weekdays, it has always been known as the Sky Legion, and the Dragon Knight Legion of Neo City, known as the natural defense line of the Northern Legion, not only has no combat power, but also has been reduced to the point of asking other legions to send soldiers to protect the city!
For Nicholas, the iron-blooded general who led countless troops to fight, defeated countless enemies, and terrified the enemy, it was tantamount to a slap in the face, which made him feel ashamed at the same time!
Although the army commander of the Northern Legion has repeatedly stated that the defense is only temporary, and when Neo City is re-established, the Dragon Knight Legion of Neo City will definitely regain its vitality, but Nicholas knows in his heart: at least for now, he is just a bare-pole commander with the rank of the highest military commander of Neo City.
Although the vast majority of people admit that Nicholas did not miscommand in this battle, and that he is still the most suitable governor of Neo, there are still some small actions in response to this matter.
On the third day after the end of the battle, the top leadership of the Northern Legion suddenly received an anonymous letter, in which the unsigned petitioner claimed to be from the Northern Legion, and in the spirit of "being responsible for the empire and the legion, and daring to question authority", he believed that even if Nicholas was not wrong in the battle, he was no longer suitable to take the leadership position of Neo City, and suggested that the elite soldiers should be drawn from the other dragon knight legions to lead Neo City in an experienced way.
At the end of the anonymous letter, there are several fingerprints of different shades and sizes, as well as many more strange signatures.
Many times, when something causes irreparable damage to the empire, there will always be someone who takes the initiative or is forced to stand up and take responsibility, but this is only a common way in political struggles, and it is almost invisible in the army. Moreover, this time the situation is even more special.
The petitioners are targeting Nicholas, the iron-blooded general who has made great achievements in war and is famous throughout the empire!
Moreover, in terms of facts, just from the fact that the whole army of Neo City was destroyed, Nicholas was orderly and properly commanded, and there was no problem of any tactical mistakes at all, even if the losses were extremely heavy in the end, there was no doubt that Nicholas's command ability was beyond doubt, and he was still the most suitable commander of Neo City until the empire reappointed and appointed.
Therefore, when several leaders at the highest level of the army gathered together and looked at the anonymous letter in front of them, they quickly made a decision: not to investigate who wrote the anonymous letter and whether the signature was suspected of forgery, and directly suppressed the matter, and no further transmission could be passed down until they arrived, and General Nicholas continued to serve as the supreme governor of Neo City.
Probably guessing that this would happen sooner rather than later, the petitioner simply stopped submitting anonymous letters. A personal plot against General Nicholas can be described as a complete failure, and Nicholas himself was not affected in any way.
But things changed then.
One morning five days later, the commanders of the seventeen legions of the Northern Army all received orders: His Majesty Jason, the king of the Noqi Empire, has secretly arrived!
His Majesty then began to inspect each of the legions, paying homage to the warriors of the Empire.
Lin Xi is the first time to meet the lord of a country that commands a vast country, the patriarch of the Nuoqi royal family with a heritage of nearly three thousand years, and the forty-sixth emperor of the Nuoqi Empire, Jason.
King Jason is only thirty-two years old this year, but because of his strong ability to manage the country's political affairs, he began to take over his father's position as early as ten years ago, and is one of the more successful emperors in the past.
At this moment, his demeanor was majestic, his eyes were blazing, and his tall body was toned and powerful, and he was observing the phalanx of the Heavy Knights of the Ace Legion. Then, when the drill was over, he began to walk into the group of soldiers, and his smile was as bright as the flowers that bloomed in March, so that people felt comfortable, and the dignified king, who had been dignified just a moment ago, was now so kind that even ordinary soldiers could talk to him cordially and exchange words with him.
Lynsey admits that he is inexperienced, but when he saw Jason, he immediately gave him a high evaluation. In Linsey's opinion, His Majesty Jason is not only very capable of handling political affairs, but also should be a good king who is considerate of his people.
At this time, Lin Xi was also relieved that the people of Shiliu City would be able to live a good life. General Auhuimans must have put the evidence in the hands of the king in front of him, and based on his first impression of Jason, Lynsey believed that Patch and his power in Stonestream City should now fall apart, even if the mastermind behind it, Georgis and the Minister of the Interior, Thomas, are still at large, but Lynsey's wish has been fulfilled, and the people there no longer need to live in misery, and what awaits them will be a better life in the future.
With respect but unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts, everyone leaned up to shake hands with His Majesty Jason, whose kind demeanor really made the soldiers feel warm and comfortable.
And the leadership of the Northern Corps was in a different mood. Less than ten days after the end of the Battle of Neo, His Majesty Jason came to inspect it, and it was a coincidence that no experienced leader would approve.
Seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, Jason chose the last place to visit Neo City.
He was accompanied only by his entourage and the leadership of the Northern Legion.
As for what exactly happened there, most of the fighters did not know, but soon, a shocking news came from above the Northern Legion.
In view of the fact that General Nicholas is old and his body is scarred due to the perennial battle of leading troops, and he is no longer suitable to bear the heavy military affairs, the empire has made a final decision after careful consideration, and it is decided that General Nicholas will not hold any leadership position in the Northern Army for the time being, and other benefits will still be retained, and the empire will reassign new positions at any time according to the actual situation!
As soon as the news came out, the whole army was shaken.
Even a little bit of political sensitivity, or even a mere hearing of the word political struggle, can guess the true meaning behind this sudden decision.
To put it bluntly, Nicholas was still implicated in the battle for Neo City. Regardless of whether this is the result of a high-level game or Nicholas's own enemies, in short, His Majesty Jason chose to punish the latter between the death of more than a thousand dragons, if it is considered thoroughly, plus the dragons that originally belonged to Neo City and were later brought to Apomato, a total of nearly 3,000 dragons died in the first battle, and Nicholas, who made great achievements for the army but only represented an excellent general of the army, chose to punish the latter.
