Tully City, Holy Dragon Command.

Since the commander-in-chief, Palitzer, was taken away by Vega, a meeting was held at the top of the hierarchy for the first time.

The meeting was chaired by one of the three deputy regimental commanders.

The deputy commander of the regiment named Alivies said with a stern face: "Although Lord Palitzer gave me the order to stay still and wait for his return before leaving, now that this matter has spread throughout the army, the morale of the soldiers has been greatly affected, and it has intensified over time. Therefore, I have convened this meeting to think about the solutions you are seeking and to come up with a unified opinion. ”

Due to the sudden arrival of Vega.

Therefore, Vega's war report and the scene of Palitzer being taken away from here in embarrassment can no longer be hidden.

Now the morale of the whole army is low to the bottom.

It is no longer possible to block the source by means of public opinion control, and the worst thing is that if the situation is allowed to develop, it is very likely that as soon as Vega's army attacks, the whole army will collapse directly.

So a group of high-level executives came together and prepared to come up with a solution to this strategy.

There are always more solutions than problems.

A staff officer advised: "The country cannot be left without a master for a day, and the army cannot be left without a general for a day, and I think that this matter must be urgently reported to Lord Augustus in the city of Shaya, so that he can appoint a new commander for us, or give us direct orders." ”

"Seconded. "Seconded. "Seconded. ”

Several officers nodded in agreement.

But at this time, the deputy commander of the legion, Alivis, said: "Don't forget the order of Lord Palitzer to stand by before, when Lord Palitzer really comes back, he will see the words of the other commander...... Hmph, be prepared to take responsibility. ”

"This ......"

Several people's faces changed.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so it is easy to send another commander from above, and it is better to say if Palitzer will not come back at that time, if they come back, who should they listen to at that time, and let Palitzer know that they made this decision, with Palize's character and status, they will definitely not be able to spare a few of their initiators.

So the matter is clear.

This advice obviously did not work, and even had to be concealed from the commander of Augustus in the main army.

"Since we can't explain the situation to the top, I don't think we might as well elect a temporary commander from within?"

This new proposal was approved by the majority, and as long as a new provisional commander was elected, he could cope with the period of Palitzer's absence, when Palitzer returned to him and return the rights to him, and if he did not return, they would not be like headless flies, not even knowing whether to fight or retreat in the face of the enemy's attack.

The suggestion is reasonable though.

But now the question is, who will be elected as this temporary commander?

Because there is a more than half chance that Palitzer will not return, if anyone serves as a temporary commander at this time, then when the war is over, it is very likely that the temporary word will be removed and take Palize's place.

Alivis and the other three deputy commanders glanced at each other.

First of all, Alista coughed and said: "The temporary commander has a great responsibility, and I can't hand over such a heavy responsibility to the two of you, so I think I will take over the position of Lord Palitzer temporarily." ”

"If Your Excellency wants to say so, you should be contemptible to do so. ”

Another lieutenant commander stood up and began to fight for the position of temporary commander.

The voice just fell, and the other deputy corps commander was not to be outdone: "There is no need to argue between the two, in terms of seniority, who here is as tall as me, and in terms of the time of following the elders of the Palitzer Legion, who has my superior?"

"Who is highly qualified in this matter, and who can do it?"

"That's right, the position of temporary commander is very important, how can it be decided by seniority. ”

“......”

Everyone quarreled with each other, and gradually forgot that the original intention of convening this meeting was to appease the army and prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, and fell into a struggle for power and profit.

So in the next few days.

The top echelons are busy vying for power and profit, and public opinion at the lower levels is also intensifying, and the entire army is already like a plate of scattered sand.

The most terrible thing was that, since no one wanted to bear the responsibility that might be blamed by Palitzer, not a single officer reported the situation here to Augustus, the main army.

The day that Vega said was approaching day by day.

And the more times like this, the struggle for power and profit will become more intense than ever, and the speed of public opinion will spread.

————

Along the Great River of Donbu.

Vega and Palitzer had been here for four days to see the river.

To be honest, Vega was on the verge of throwing up, but he still insisted on wandering around with Palitzer and talking about friendship.

In fact, Vega's purpose is to plunge the enemy into chaos because of the leaderless dragons, and when the time comes, he can use Thea's thunderous blow to scare off the enemy and take the city of Tully, and at the same time further shape his invincible image.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Vega intends to bluff further.

Because now the general strategic policy of the Jialan Empire is to bluff.

The enemy who can be frightened away will definitely not engage in any frontal battle with the enemy, and the Jialan Empire at this stage does not have the capital to engage in a large-scale and time-consuming war with forces such as the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the Empire.

This is also the reason why Vega is writing a war again, and he is holding on to Palitzer to intimidate the enemy.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, the enemy army was probably in chaos now because of the leaderless dragons, and his goal had been achieved.

That said, the time is finally ripe.

Vega said to Palize: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have been very happy with Your Excellency in the past four days, but unfortunately tomorrow is the five-day period we have agreed upon. I won't say any extra words, let me have a banquet for you tomorrow night. ”

"Are you really willing to let me go?"

Palitzer almost thought he had misheard, he had recently been forced by Vega to stay by the Donbu River for so many days, and he had despaired of going back. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he caught Vega, could he still let him go back? I'm afraid he would have been dismantled by him a long time ago, so it's inconceivable that he hasn't been killed yet, and now he actually wants to let him go back?

As for Vega's friendship?

No matter how stupid he is, he will not believe the nonsense of the enemy.

Is there any conspiracy involved?

After thinking about it, Palitzer didn't understand the key, anyway, the initiative was not in his hands, Vega wanted to hold a banquet for him, and he could only choose to let it go in the end, because he had no room for resistance.

The next day.

Vega brought Palitzer back to the barracks and held a feast for practice.

The scale of the banquet was neither too large nor too small, and Vega invited half of the high-ranking officers.
