Chéné Saint Laurent, Place Royale.

This is the largest square in Yves Saint Laurent, where official ceremonies, announcements, speeches, ...... Large-scale ceremonies such as festivals take place here, and Tosh wants to make the news of Vega's absence in the city public in the spotlight.

That's right.

There is no need for evidence, no witnesses, as long as he directly tells the truth as his 'counselor', he can make everyone believe it. As a true authority, those who are highly respected and have three religions and nine streams have no qualifications to deny his words at all.

Of course, it's not impossible to deny him.

That was to put Thea and Vega in front of him.

But is it possible?

Who in the entire army doesn't know that this is a bluffing method that Mennonite and Ilo came up with, if Vega and Xiyashan are in the city, they can just stand up and shout, where do they need to let some officers create rumors.

In the city of Saint Laurent, there is no one to stop him.

On the way, he had already ordered his subordinates to issue proclamations to attract the imperial army and civilians, and at the same time ordered the navy in the imperial army to take advantage of him to control the military power when the overall situation was decided.

When everyone expects it, it is unstoppable.

Born as a staff officer, he is very good at playing this kind of small means.

————

City Lord's Mansion, Commander-in-Chief's Office.

Ilo, who had just received the news from the city, came in as soon as possible to report: "General, the fish has taken the bait, everything is as you expected, there are indeed some ghosts in the city who are hindering our plan." ”

"Has this inner ghost already jumped back?"

"The general is wise. ”

Ilo smiled: "You must not guess that this inner ghost is not a dynastic civilian, nor a dynastic soldier, but the most influential person in our army besides you - staff officer Tosh." ”

Vega didn't look surprised.

He looked at Iloh and said, "Go and inform Your Highness Thea and ask her to go to the Royal Square with us, and let's surprise your lovely staff officer." ”

"Yes, General. ”

After that, Ilo asked with some confusion: "General, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, you don't seem surprised that Staff Officer Tosh is behind this matter?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

Vega said in a certain tone: "Excluding the factor of the kingdom's spies, then this matter is not Tosh, I am afraid that he will die in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes, and in terms of command, he is the best choice besides me." ”

"Now he's not dead, and the results are clear. ”

Vega paused and said: "And it can be seen that he is a high-minded and arrogant person, I have ignored his opinions several times and insisted on going his own way, he is afraid that he has long held a grudge, and now I am 'absent' in the city, if he does not seize this opportunity, then he is not worthy of claiming to be a professional staff officer from a professional class." ”

It dawned on Iro.

He glanced at Vega in admiration, then saluted and exited the room to greet Thea.

Vega waited for Iloh to leave before he smiled cruelly.

In fact, Vega has long wanted to get rid of this staff officer, but he has never had a chance, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, Vega certainly won't waste a precious opportunity.

As for why you want to get rid of this staff officer?

His delay at a critical moment is only a secondary reason, the real reason is -

In Vega's opinion, there was no need for such a creature as a 'staff officer' in his troops.

The so-called staff officer.

It's just a group of 'professionals' who are more than established and less enterprising, whose expertise makes them less prone to failure and confines them to the fence.

So Vega led Thea towards the Royal Square.

The square is huge and can accommodate at least 200,000 people.

By the time Vega accompanied Thea to the plaza under the covert protection of the guards, Tosh had already ascended the platform and, with the blessing of a magic amplifier, announced that Vega and Thea were not in the city.

"Sons of dynasties, soldiers of the Empire. ”

"You heard you right," shouted Tosh, "our Supreme Commander Vega Kareni and your spiritual leader, Thea Saint Laurent, have taken you as bait for the Kingdom Army and have shamelessly abandoned us back to the west bank of the dynasty. ”

"Now. ”

Tosh slapped the podium angrily, his aching voice shaking everyone's eardrums: "Our Supreme Commander Vega, Princess Thea Saint Laurent, has been drinking wine, eating steaks, and enjoying a good day on the West Bank, but what about us?"

"We are for the dignity of the royal family. ”

"We are for the glory of the soldiers of the Empire. ”

"We are using our lives and blood to build the impregnable walls of Yves Saint Laurent. ”

Tosh's expression was extremely hideous, and he yelled, "Excuse me!"

"What are we fighting for?"

"To abandon our kingdom and royalty?"

"A commander who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Or is it for the foolish order?"

Tosh's voice fell, and the commotion in the square resounded through the sky.

"The royal family has abandoned us, why are we still fighting here. ”

"Shameless betrayers, the royal family of the dynasty is a bunch of cowards who turn their backs on the glory of their ancestors. ”

"I don't believe it, how could General Vega abandon us?"

"He said he would lead us to victory, he said he would defeat 200,000 kingdom troops. ”

"Lies, those are all lies perfunctory to us by shameless superiors. ”

“......”

The civilians of the dynasty and the soldiers of the empire began to be agitated, which was a sign of the collapse of faith, but fortunately the kingdom army did not attack at this time, otherwise the city of Saint Laurent would have been shattered at the first touch.

Tosh watched it all.

When the faith of the people was completely shattered and his eyes were full of confusion, Tosh continued to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Tosh's voice regained everyone's attention: "Tell me why you are confused, I repeat, why do you bow your proud heads?!"

Tosh's voice echoed: "Since the royal family has abandoned the glory and the general has broken his oath, then from now on we will no longer fight for the dignity of the royal family, no longer fight for the general's orders, we will only be for ourselves...... Fight for your life. ”

"Alive!"

"That's right, it's alive!"

"We're going to fight to survive!"

When Tosh's speech ended, the pre-arranged sailors began to take the lead.

"Please, Lord Staff, lead us to live. ”

"Please, Chief Staff, lead us to victory. ”

"Counselor, we have to fight for ourselves. ”

“......”

Under the influence of the trolls, more and more people joined in, and the whole situation was already under Tosh's control.

Tosh pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Thank you for your kindness, but I, Tosh, am just a small staff officer, and I really can't take on this big responsibility, and I just can't bear to see you being deceived by these shameless betrayers, so I came out to expose the truth, please don't mention this matter again." ”

As soon as Tosh resigned, the navy continued to exert its strength.

So after a few performances, Tosh pretended to be reluctant to take over the coveted command.

Just the next command.

Then he would replace the city defense with the new recruits of the dynasty as soon as possible, and then he would take the opportunity to leave Saint Laurent with the soldiers of the empire and break through to the north when the night was dark and windy.

As for leading the dynasty to victory?

Don't talk nonsense, he's a soldier of the Empire, not a self-sacrificing fool like Vega.

He only took command in order to sell the soldiers and civilians of the dynasty, using them as bait to attract the kingdom's army, and he took the opportunity to successfully break through with the imperial soldiers.

Oaths and promises?

In the eyes of the superiors, it is just a convenient tool, and only a fool would choose to believe such a ridiculous excuse.
