Chapter 266: City Guards

The loud noise of the "meteorite falling from the sky" not only alarmed ordinary people, but also naturally alarmed the city guards who shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the capital. In fact, when the meteorite was still in the air and falling downward, the sentry in the city guard had already noticed something unusual.

Well-trained, after Duke Leonard's constant tossing, the soldiers of the city guard, who had already turned preparation for war into instinct, quickly entered a state of imminent battle. The warriors, who were still asleep, were quickly awakened, the armor and weapons had long been maintained, and the horses of the cavalry were pulled out of the maneuver. In a very short time, the soldiers of the city guard were ready, lined up and ready to go.

But the soldiers waited for a long time, and the military order was still not issued, which caused the originally silent and neat team to become a little chaotic.

The reason for the delay in issuing the military order was that there was a disagreement among the top leaders of the city guards, and now the senior generals of the city guards in the Chinese army account are arguing and full of gunpowder.

The chief of the general staff, Ogereau, who was sitting in the camp, was so angry that he began to slap the table, almost breaking the desk that Duke Leonard usually used.

"Now that the general is not here, without his orders and without his military talismans, you want to send troops without authorization, do you still have military law in your eyes?"

Naturally, his remarks are extremely reasonable, and they also represent the thoughts of some cautious and serious generals: Sending troops without authorization is a taboo in the army, and if you don't do it well, it is a crime to kill your head, so why take such a risk? I am afraid that if we really send troops, we will provoke a commotion instead of taking credit.

But one of the generals opposite him didn't care about the threat in Augereau's mouth, in fact, staff officers in the army were extremely unique positions, and many generals looked down on these staff officers in their hearts, thinking that they were just some embroidered pillows that did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

And this reckless general named Hector is one of them, he is brave and fearless in battle, and loyal to the violet royal family, so he is deeply loved by Duke Leonard, and is Duke Leonard's confidant.

He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The general has not come to the army since he went to your house as a guest, who knows what bad things you have done to the general." ”

"You!", Ogero was furious, and even pulled out the blade at his waist, "Shaft An dares to insult me like this!"

"Why, do you dare to do it, will I still be afraid of you?", Hector said as he pulled out his waist knife. Because he was suspicious of Duke Leonard's disappearance for days, he had long held back the fire in his stomach, and when he saw Ogereau, he completely exploded.

Several other people hurriedly hugged their waists, and set up knives to stop the two of them, and also moved out of the general's regulations: The general strictly ordered that the army should not kill each other, do you want to disobey the general's military order?

Hector was still a little resentful, "The general will not accept the foreign military order, doesn't the chief of staff know this reason." The situation of the war is changing rapidly, how can it be possible to follow military orders in everything? What do we generals need to do?"

"For example, if you suddenly encounter an enemy night attack, you naturally have to resist with all your might, is it because there is no military order issued for a while, you have to kill the soldiers obediently?"

"Now that there is obviously chaos in Shenghui City, don't forget that our duty is to defend the capital and defend the royal family, if it is because of the inability of the city guards to arrive in time, some irreparable changes have occurred, then aren't we all big criminals here?", although Hector looks like five big and three thick on the outside, but he is also thick and fine, and his words are reasonable, causing several generals present to nod their heads one after another.

Ogero took a deep breath and said loudly, "No rules, no rules." The biggest thing in this army is military law, and I will ask you, is it against military law to send troops without authorization now? If a precedent is set tonight, will it be that in the future, if there is a stir in Shenghui City, some people with bad intentions will have a reason to send troops without authorization?"

"Remember, we are the Kingdom of St. Teresa, the city guards of the Holy Radiant City, not someone's private soldiers!", his words were deafening, and he sounded extremely reasonable.

The two of them said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and they argued with each other. In the end, Ogero simply said: "In this way, the generals in the army are basically concentrated in the tent, I can't convince you, and you can't convince me, so let's just vote collectively." The resolution made in this way must be convincing to everyone. ”

Hector hesitated, but nodded in agreement. In the absence of Duke Leonard, the dragons are leaderless, and no one has enough authority to impress everyone, Ogereau's proposal is indeed the best way to go.

"Okay, then I'll say it, agree to Hector's proposal, and raise your hands when you send troops into the city!", Ogero shouted loudly, but when he saw dozens of people in the camp, everyone looked at each other, but there were very few people who raised their hands in support.

"Then support my proposal, obey the military law and wait for the military order to raise your hand!", Ogero shouted again, but after a moment of hesitation, many people raised their hands, and the two sides were compared, and Ogero could be described as a great victory.

Ogeero was proud in his heart, not to mention some of the generals who were good friends with him on weekdays. Ogereau saw through all these generals in the city guard, most of them were the same as Ogereau, they all graduated from the St. Teresa Military Academy, that is, they had a noble background, and stunned young people like Hector were a minority after all.

Just like Duke Leonard's previous comment of Augereau, "more like a nobleman than a soldier", these generals will think more about their own interests than the duties of a soldier. What's more, they have not fought for many years, and their bloody nature has been worn out, and the risk of being convicted of sending troops is probably beyond reproach and will not be wrong, and "waiting for military orders" is more in line with the interests of these generals.

Of course, there are also some generals who agree with Ogereau's theory that "there are no rules, there is no square circle", but in any case, Ogereau has the support of the vast majority of the middle and upper echelons of the army.

"General Hector, I am sorry, it seems that the generals are all supporting my sound advice to wait for the military order. Please also stop being stubborn, so as not to cause disorder in the morale of the army. Ogero said with a smile avoiding the iron-faced Hector, as a victor, he is naturally qualified to show such a calm smile.

Hector looked around at the crowd present, stomped his feet angrily, and rushed out of the military tent without looking back, while Hector secretly sighed in his heart: "I can only do so much, Your Royal Highness, without the interference of the city guards, I hope you can succeed immediately." ”
