Chapter 230: The Empire's Army
The army of the Asta Empire, in its most glorious years, was once divided into ten largest teams, once approaching a total of five million, led by ten marshals of the empire, but as the days of stability gradually increased, many armies were gradually disbanded.
The marshals of the original empire have also died one after another, and only the two oldest generalissimos are left, and because of their advanced age, they will hardly appear in the public eye.
Today, the remaining ten marshals were canonized later, and they were all capable people in various fields.
"Do you remember the war between the Asta Empire and the Aturan Empire more than ten years ago?" Ain asked suddenly.
"Well, that's what my father died in that war. ”
Another empire located in the southeast of the Asta Empire, called Aturan, has been a hostile country of the Asta Empire for many years, which Wang Chu had heard of before, almost when he was in Hajar City Academy, the tutor would emphasize this name many times in every class, the purpose was to bury such a thorn in the hearts of young people.
It seems that in that war the Asta Empire did not take advantage.
"Not only your father, but countless families were destroyed in that war, and it was a history that needs to be remembered...... It was also during that war that several marshals were also seriously wounded, and although they still held titles, they were almost no longer involved in the affairs of the state. Ain's eyes turned serious as she watched Lias.
Wang Chu knew that the next words were what he wanted to say.
"Now there are four armies near the imperial capital, the royal guard is headed by Marshal Duke Erigon, who is responsible for the security of the palace, and the other is that the official troops of the military department are under the control of Marshal Mansoor, and the two of them have the largest military power in the imperial capital, and it is worth mentioning that both marshals are from dragon knights. Ain said.
Duke of Erigon!
Wang Chu remembered the dragon knight he saw in the palace the day before yesterday, and it turned out that he was also a figure with heavy troops.
"And what about the two armies?" the other said only four, and so far there are two.
"The other two are in the hands of the king of the Rhine, and what I know is that one team is temporarily led by the king's close bodyguard, Marshal Nat, and the other team is supposed to be led by the king himself. The words were not as sure as the first two.
In other words, he is not sure, of course it is important for the king to personally control the heavy troops, but listening to the tone of the other party, these soldiers are still hidden.
"Aren't they in the military headquarters?" Lias seemed to feel the same doubts as herself.
Ain shook his head.
"No, I've seen their names and affiliations, but I've never found them in the army. ”
"How so?" asked Lias, curious.
Hiding people, there is this must be, this is the safest land under the feet of the king of the imperial capital, and he actually scattered his soldiers and hid them...... Wang Chu thought about what the other party's purpose was.
"That's exactly what I'm going to say now, and if I get out of this area, I probably won't be able to say it anymore. He pointed to the place ahead, and out of the place in front of him was the street of the imperial capital, the direction from which Rias had followed yesterday.
Lias nodded, and listened quietly without asking.
"The reason may also start with the war with the Atulanan Empire, which was originally in sight, but Aturanze rebelled against some of the local forces, which led to the subsequent defeat. ”
"I know about it, grandpa told me about it. Lias replied.
Well, when did you say it, why I don t know, Wang Chu looked at Lias on the other party's shoulder, she rarely lies, but she doesn't lie at such times.
It was this incident that planted the root of the Rhine king's heart, when the king was only in his twenties, when he had just ascended the throne, and the Aturan Empire also took advantage of this opportunity to start a war, and the young king could not have imagined that those who received his favor would unite to subvert themselves for a little benefit...... Since then, the Rhine king has been wary of all the princes of the city, but this confrontation will evolve into another contradiction over time. ”
Aine suddenly looked at Lias with an indescribable look.
Wang Chu suddenly instinctively felt a chill on his back, which was a symbol of the animal's sensitivity to danger.
He was tempting, testing Lias's thoughts.
It stands to reason that Lias is also from Hajar City, and he is trying to see which side she is on.
"What happened after that?" Uncle Ayn" still looked like a curious baby, and Wang Chu couldn't tell for a moment whether Lias was intentional or if she wanted to ask this sentence in the first place.
Seeing that Ain's eyes softened, he let down his guard just now.
Breathe a sigh of relief, if you fight at this time, you don't know how to play, and the king of werewolves will go directly? Maybe there will be a chance.
So far, I haven't fought against anyone who can already use his strength, and this level should have reached the level corresponding to the level above the Great Sword Master and above the Great Magister.
Of course, this was just a temptation, Wang Chu believed that he would not be doing it, and if Lias answered incorrectly just now, or if there was a hint of hesitation, it would just add one more political enemy.
After listening to Ain's words, Wang Chu finally understood Edmund's previous worries, as well as the imperial capital's attitude towards Hajar City for more than a year, even if he found out that the imperial general had been killed, he did not send other troops to help.
Ever since he saw the dragon knight, Wang Chu no longer believed that the little wind and snow back then could stop the flight of the wurm.
The Western Desert is the closest to Hajar City, and the Imperial Capital just wants Hajar City to do it themselves, and they have to do it in order to win the hearts and minds of the people...... Wang Chu is very glad that he was in that team now, otherwise he would not be able to see through the true face of this country at all.
In the end, they won the hearts and minds of the people...... Eventually, they also lost their fangs......
According to the next development, perhaps Hajar City will have to face internal fighting with the imperial capital generals.
Aine was silent for a moment and didn't speak, seeing that he was about to walk out of the aristocratic area, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Son, you have a lot to go through when you're young, and you're coming to understand how difficult it is to maintain the balance of a huge country, but it's also very difficult to choose the right camp as an individual. He said this very sincerely, perhaps it was really the advice of the elders who were in the same surname.
It may also be a way to win over if you want to promote and suppress first.
In short, Wang Chu is wary of the people in the imperial capital today.
"Remember, kid...... To believe is to be foolish. He praised the horse under his feet and ran a little ahead of Lias.
Yes, to believe is to be foolish.
and I will return it to you.
Winter is coming.
