Chapter 572: Two Generals

"Look there, there's movement in the middle box. Suddenly, in the middle of the "ordinary" audience on the first floor, someone let out an exclamation.

"The box in the middle?", the sound caused a commotion, and no one cared about the opera on stage, and everyone turned their heads to look at the box. Like a goose waiting to be fed, they stretched their necks one by one.

In fact, how many people actually come to this grand theater to enjoy the opera? The ladies put their minds on the comparison of costumes, jewels and postures, and this opera house is the biggest battlefield for ladies besides the ball, and they march forward one by one, and they will not give any sympathy to the defeated on this battlefield.

Some of the gentlemen, on the other hand, paid attention to the radiant beauties, and they secretly sent off every beautiful woman who passed by, showing off their handsomeness and chic, and racking their brains to say witty things that always attracted the attention of the ladies. In their minds, what they are thinking about now is not this opera, but their own big bed.

Other gentlemen were like the shrewd foxes of a rabbit hunt, their ears stretched out to look around, not missing the slightest hint of clues. Those of shallow status are desperately looking for opportunities to flatter and drill camps, while those of noble status must brace themselves to prevent the overt and hidden arrows of power struggles.

There are only two types of people who can really set their minds to enjoy this opera, either detached from politics or uninterested in politics.

"Isn't that the Duke of Mortier's box?", someone said, the name evoking memories that were not very long.

The Duke of Mortier was a financier of many troupes, composers and writers in the city, and a regular visitor to the opera house, so that some artists who had received his favor once called him "the guardian of the art of Saint-Teresa".

Listen, "Guardian of St. Teresa's Art", what a resounding name.

Similarly, the ball held by the Duke of Mortier is also the most high-level and most sought after by the nobles, with many participants and celebrities. At that time, almost all the nobles of the city of Shenghui were proud to have been invited by the Duke of Mortier.

However, since he suddenly announced his retirement, this name has gradually rarely appeared in the public's field of vision. After the northern army invaded Shenghui City, the Duke of Mortier disappeared mysteriously, and no one was seen alive or dead, which caused quite a stir at the time.

And the common box left by this person is inevitably somewhat symbolic in the eyes of these nobles, representing status, but also inevitably a little ominous, so I haven't heard of any nobles booking this box.

Finally, as if the expected new star was finally going to perform on stage, the box was finally opened, but the two people who were revealed were not known to most of the people in the theater.

What's more, it's still two men!

In this theater, aren't all old men and ladies, and young masters and young ladies together? How can there be two big men who get together to watch a play! It's really indescribably awkward, is there a ...... between these two men? But although there are many people among the aristocracy who like male sex, everyone knows that they do it secretly, and no one has ever made it public, not to mention that those aristocrats who like male sex also value delicate and handsome teenagers.

"Who is this?", people whispered, guessing the identities of the two men, and people could roughly judge from the clothes of these two people.

"Both of them are wearing the uniforms of the Northern Army, and you can see that they have eagle insignia on their chests. ”

"But they don't use epaulettes, and they don't have any medals on their chests, they look like ordinary soldiers of the Northern Army, who are they?"

"It must be the top of the Northern Army, right? It can't be an ordinary soldier. ”

People were talking about it, and even made a little noise, but the two soldiers of the Northern Army in the box ignored it and chatted to themselves.

"I heard that this is the largest and best opera house in the kingdom of St. Teresa, and it is really magnificent, not comparable to the north. ", one of them said with a smile.

"To be honest, I never thought we'd be sitting here and enjoying the opera one day. ”

"Hmph, what opera is not opera, can you understand? Anyway, I don't understand, if it weren't for His Majesty's order, I wouldn't have come here. The other said disdainfully.

"You say, why did you send the two of us here to show up when we were about to set out for the battle?"

"Give these parasites a reassurance, and at the same time a silent threat, let them be in peace while we go on the expedition, and don't make any small moves in the city. There are always some smart people among these parasites who will read His Majesty's warnings. ”

"Why is Your Majesty so cautious this time? To be honest, it seems to me that we are sure to win this battle, and we don't even need our warriors from the north to make a move, just so many mages are invincible. ”

"It's because of the assassination of the mage group some time ago, Your Majesty suspects that there are still forces against us in the city, not to mention that there are still such rumors. ”

When these words were spoken, both of them fell silent at once. The rumor that Reinhardt the Great was connected to the Dark Mage, they all heard a little bit of wind more or less. Regardless of whether anyone secretly believed it, this rumor has become a "forbidden word" among the high-level people in the north, and even in this completely closed box, the two are reluctant to mention the content of the rumor.

"If it weren't for the fact that the old people in the army have retired a lot, I'm afraid it wouldn't be our turn to stand up for Your Majesty. After a while, another man sighed and said.

This is another matter that the high-ranking people in the north are reluctant to mention, since the failure of General Jetton to assassinate Reinhardt the Great, several respected old generals in the army have retired with all kinds of original gloom, although the emperor has stabilized the morale of the army by means of appeasement, but the weakening of combat effectiveness is inevitable. If it weren't for the mages who showed their strong combat effectiveness in the process of attacking Divine Radiance City, these two generals would not have been so confident in this expedition.

"In any case, now that we have entered the city, there is no way back. Whether it is heaven or hell, you can only follow that majesty to the end. ”

"Think of the good place, when we get rid of the people in the West, the country will be completely ours. When the time comes, we can watch this opera house as many times as we want, and we can watch as many shows as we want. ", said one of the generals in high spirits.

While they were chatting, there was a knock on the door from outside the room, "It's Count Gustav down there, I'm disturbing the two generals, I wonder if you can take the time?"

"Please come in!", the two generals smiled at each other and shouted in unison.
