Chapter 457: Coaxing and Fear

Tumont and Joyce were both legion commanders, and they were only below Somme, only because of their slightly inferior qualifications. Although both fought in the Fifth Greenwich War a thousand years ago, at the end of the war, they were still junior officers, and were only promoted to regimental commanders after the war. Like Somme, both are loyal to the Wanluo Emperor, and not only are they unlikely to rebel, but they will not betray because they are coerced.

They knew Carlson, knew that Carlson was the engineering commander of the Ninth Legion, and knew that Carlson and Somme were old friends for more than a thousand years, so when Carlson came forward and said that Som was discussing important matters with Fleet Commander Nethan and could not meet them for the time being, the two did not suspect it, and followed Carlson to the room dedicated to entertaining senior officers, and asked Carlson to tell Som that he would come to see them when he was free.

It's just that after a few hours, the two couldn't wait.

"Both, the meeting isn't over yet, and Commander Somme doesn't have time to see you right now."

"Nonsense, are we just talking to him? We have important things to do now. "Tumont's temper is already bad, and after being cold for a few hours, he can't help it for a long time. If it had been against Carlsen, but a staff officer, he would have been angry a long time ago.

"Commander Tumont, I've told Commander Somme that he'll be over after the meeting, so please be calm."

"No, we're going to see him now." Joyce was calmer, and he had already seen the problem.

After a few hours, it was Carlson who came to see them, and the staff officers of the headquarters did not show up, and they did not see anyone else. Besides, what meeting needs to last a few hours? If there is really something important, Fleet Commander Nethan will definitely not just discuss it with Somme, but will call Tumont and Joyce.

"Commander Joyce. I said......"

"I know you don't want to offend Som about this, but we're not afraid." Joyce stepped forward, "We'll go over now, we'll take care of what happens, and you won't have to be responsible." ”

"Yes. Let's go find him. I don't believe Somme is going to be angry with us. Tumont also reacted, and rushed forward first, pushing away Magnus, who was in front of him.

Obviously, in terms of strength, Magnus is definitely not the opponent of the two corps commanders, and he can't stop the two at all.

It was at this moment that the door opened, and a man walked in.

Seeing this person, Tumont and Joyce were stunned. His expression froze suddenly. Carlson looked back, and he was secretly surprised.

"Why, the current corps commanders are so ignorant of the rules?"

"Your Royal Highness, why are you here?" Magnus reacted quickly and immediately turned to meet him.

It was none other than Prince Arlington who came in.

Both Tumont and Joyce were veterans of the Fifth Greenwich War, though a thousand years ago they were just small soldiers. But for them, Prince Arlington is no stranger. Same with Carrison. They had always believed that Prince Arlington had disappeared during a battle with the Silicon Charm army.

"Your Royal Highness."

"Your Royal Highness."

Carlson's respectful appearance made Tumont and Joyce not dare to think much about it, and immediately paid tribute to Arlington.

"Carlson, you didn't tell them?"

"Your Highness, this is a top secret, and only a few people know about it, so I ...... It's me who didn't handle it well. I also ask for your forgiveness. Carlson lowered his head, as if he knew he was wrong.

"Alright, you can step aside."

Carlson didn't dare to say anything, although he didn't know what Arlington was doing here, but the prince was there. The commanders of the two legions did not dare to make a mistake.

After Carlson left, Arlington walked over and sat down.

"Sit down, don't stand."

"Your Highness."

Joyce sat down first, and Tumont sat next to him.

"Obviously, you must be surprised to see me here." Arlington glanced at the two of them and said, "Carlson has already said that my coming here is top secret, and only a few people know about it. I wasn't supposed to let you know, but you were clamoring to see Som, so I had no choice. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Somme has left, and now I'm in charge of the Legion's combat operations."

Joyce was confused, but didn't show it.

"Your Highness is here, and we will listen to His Highness's dispatch." Tumont was a little excited, but he didn't lose his mind. "It's just that the purpose of His Highness is ......"

"I am disappointed in your performance, and I am disappointed in Your Majesty." Arlington smiled coldly and said with a serious face, "According to the plan, the barracks should be completed, but this is not the case now. Large forces were about to arrive, a decisive military operation was about to begin, but the corps had no place to station. Whose responsibility do you think is this? Somme has already paid for it, and you two ......"

"Your Highness, the construction of the barracks has always been in the hands of Somme, and Carlson ......"

"Carlson did what he had to do, and what about you?"

Joyce kept his mouth shut, and Tumont simply lowered his head.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better think seriously now, after meeting Your Majesty, how to explain to Your Majesty that the barracks are not completed."

"This ......"

"It is clear that casually questioning the orders given by the command speaks for itself."

Joyce was speechless, but Arlington was right. If they were all suspicious of Somme's orders, the effectiveness of the legion would inevitably suffer. According to Arlington, Som has been recruited back. If, when reporting to the Emperor of War, Som shifted the blame to the Seventh and Eighth Legions and did not obey the deployment and command, then it would not be just Som who would have to face the wrath of the Emperor of War.

Thinking of this, Joyce and Tumont both broke out in a cold sweat.

They weren't afraid of Som, or even Nethan, but even if they were given a god's courage, they wouldn't dare to face the Wanluo War Emperor under his rage.

Also, Prince Arlington's sudden appearance also made Joyce and Tumont secretly frightened.

Although it has long been rumored that Prince Arlington's disappearance is related to the Wanluo War Emperor, because at that time, Prince Arlington was the only member of the royal family who posed a serious threat to the Wanluo War Emperor, but no one can deny that Prince Arlington is the uncle of the Wanluo War Emperor, a member of the royal family with a prominent status, and the former god of war of the Lei Ling clan. Not only is he alive, but he also came here after the outbreak of the Sixth Greenwich War, which is clearly extraordinary.

Joyce and Tumont had to believe that Prince Arlington's sudden appearance must have something to do with the ensuing combat operation.

More importantly, the actions of the Lei Ling Clan Legion here must be crucial, otherwise it would be impossible for the Wanluo War Emperor to let Prince Arlington come here to supervise the battle.

Thinking of this, Joyce and Tumont were not at all relieved.

If this is the case, then the unfinished barracks is extremely important. Although the main person in charge was Somme, the 7th and 8th Corps were also involved in the construction. If Somme is punished for this, then Joyce and Tumont will not be able to escape, and there will definitely be no good end.

It's just, is this already a foregone conclusion?

Joyce looked over to Prince Arlington and seemed to see hope.

Although he had never done anything under Prince Arlington, Joyce had long heard that Prince Arlington and Emperor Wanluo were two completely different people. Back then, Prince Arlington led the guards to the North Fourth District to participate in the war, and his soldiers served his orders, not because he was very powerful, but because he was extremely protective of his shortcomings, valued his soldiers very much, and thought about his soldiers everywhere, which is why so many people worked hard for him.

"Your Highness, we have done our best to build the barracks, and in accordance with the order issued by the fleet command, we have completed the construction of the barracks."

"That's all."

Joyce sighed secretly, although Prince Arlington's tone was cold, but he didn't say no words, giving him a glimmer of hope.

Of course, for Prince Arlington to open up, it is not enough to say a few words, but also to express something.

By this time, Magnus was back in command.

When he saw Yang Yi, he realized that it was Yang Yi who asked Arlington to come to the rescue when he saw that he couldn't hold Joyce and Tumont.

It was a bit of a rush, but it was much better than having the two legion commanders rush out.

It's just that at this time, it is no longer the commanders of the two legions that deserve attention.

The convoy has arrived, and it has joined up with Nethan's fleet. A small fleet of a hundred transport ships had just entered the orbit of Slag Star and was heading this way. According to the information sent by the fleet command, these are the ten legions that were the first to land on Slag Star, as well as the engineering troops who came to the rescue. Although the barracks had been built to accommodate the entire corps, much of the barracks infrastructure was not completed. The engineering unit, which was accompanied by the large force, brought a large amount of heavy engineering equipment and planned to complete the construction of other infrastructure in five days. By that time, the other ninety legions will land on Slag Star and settle into the already built barracks.

"Look at it, it's from the fleet command."

Carlson was already looking at it, and it was an engineering plan to expand the barracks.

"These hundred legions are just the vanguard." Carlson quickly skimmed through it and said, "According to this plan, the barracks will be expanded to accommodate more legions, and it will also become a real forward base that can support legions in the vicinity of combat missions." ”

"Or to the Northern Region."

Carlson nodded and said, "Perhaps, the Wanluo War Emperor has ordered a war mobilization, and more legions are being formed. If you send troops to the northern region and take the lead in the war, this number of troops will not be enough. Of course, this is enough to prove that this military camp is extremely important. ”

"Looks like we've come to the right place." Shen Chengwen said a word beside him.

"Anyway, the big force has arrived, ready to start." Yang Yi let out a long breath and said, "Since this military camp is extremely important, it can't fall into the hands of the enemy no matter what. Lao Shen, you go and arrange. Carlson, it's up to you next. ”

Both agreed and didn't say anything more. (To be continued.) )
