"Boom!" "Click!" With a powerful blow, the wooden table placed in the center of the tent broke through it, and it was completely unusable. It is said that this podium has a history of more than 100 years, and it is evidence that the family has flaunted martial arts for generations, but Rao is so, and the owner of the table does not dare to raise any objections. Not only him, but not a single one of the nobles and lords in the entire tent had expressed an opinion on the matter. They all looked down at their toes, as if they had suddenly become interested in the craft of shoemaking. Of course, their real thoughts were just reluctance to face the angry lion.

If anyone other than the royal family with the name of Hearn and the only knight to survive from a distant battlefield can be described as a lion among the blue lions, it is Andrea Kroger, the oldest family leader in the south of the kingdom, known as the red-maned furious lion. As we all know, the history of the Kroger family can be traced back to the early days of the kingdom, and their ancestors are rumored to be the first warriors to follow the first king of the Greylion, and they are also the only founding nobles whose history has never been broken over the years. Andrea is its contemporary leader.

The tall red-haired man wore a crisp military uniform, and the red lion's head brooch pinned to his chest announced his identity, and he had a resolute face that looked a little similar to Siggett Hearn, but the king didn't have such a twisted expression. And the act of smashing the table just now caused the man's red hair tied to the back of his head to spread uncontrollably, and with the green tendons that appeared on his forehead, it was really as terrifying as a lion that had been touched in pain. The muscles in his body bulged out of anger as if they could tear through the uniform at any moment, causing those who were close to him to subconsciously retreat.

"Twelve families, thirty teams of scouts, none of them came back?ah? You don't even have the ability to do this, and you didn't all run away on the spot when you really went out into battle!" Andrea roared, so that the waiter who had just mustered up the courage to see if he needed help in the tent immediately lowered the curtain and did not dare to say anything more.

"Your Highness is angry, angry. The old gentleman, who was first on the left hand side of the angry lion, bowed and said, "It is really beyond the old man's expectation that things have developed like this. It seems that we underestimated the extent to which the hairy beasts were polluting the land. And I don't think your lordships have used your precious soldiers for this task, but I think it must be because they are all waiting for the coming great war to bring more glory to you and Kroger's name. ”

The other nobles relented as the old gentleman spoke, and it was true that they did not place professional soldiers on scout assignments, but there was really no connection between them and whether or not they would throw their soldiers into battle in the following battles. Only now in order to prevent Andrea's anger from burning on their heads, they had to agree with the old man. In order to exonerate the punishment of this failure.

"Hmph, Kroger's glory Kroger will fight for it, and you don't need to worry about it at all. I just want you to do this little thing of assisting the Kroger family, but you can't do it, and you talk about other things. Andrea snorted coldly and said with some disdain. He was right, the number of regular soldiers under the Kroger family was second to none in the whole blue lion, and the kingdom had always been in the northwest by the Lie Hammer, southwest by Black Mountain, and the rest of the southern border was guarded by the Kroger family, and the battle with the elves and other neighboring countries was often borne by this family. Although the pressure from the south has been far less than the impact of nomads in recent decades, the Kroger family still has a deep heritage as a military aristocracy with a long history.

This is why a large number of small and medium-sized nobles and lords have taken the initiative to attach themselves to Andrea's account. In terms of military affairs, now that the molten iron has just been hit hard, the lord of Montenegro is still wanted, and only the Kroger family is located in the south, which is the least affected by the nezumi and has the most complete military strength. As for legitimacy, the king died suddenly, leaving no direct heir, and seeing that the blood of Hearn, which had been flowing for a long time, was about to be cut off. The Kroger family has a long history and has intermarried with the royal family several times, and if there is one of today's blue lions who is most likely to ascend to the throne, it is the angry lion Andrea. Therefore, whether it is for the sake of self-preservation for the moment or for the future situation of the kingdom, the Kroger family is an out-and-out thigh.

Andrea is well aware of this, so he knows that no matter how ugly he speaks, these hyenas who smell the benefits will not leave. And he also knew that if he wanted to become a king, his temperament was not an obstacle, and there were only three people who really stood between him and the throne. Excluding Lothar, whose whereabouts are now unknown and wanted, the only people who dare to wait and see and not swear to submit are the Grand Knight Captain Atticus of the Kingdom, and the Hand of the King, Marcus, who was left behind by the old king. As long as you have the support of these two people, or get rid of them, then the throne of the Greylion King is within reach.

But the Iron Knight is known for his absolute neutrality and absolute loyalty to the royal family, and it is not easy to get his support. As for Marcus, Andrea, as an old nobleman, does not deny his talent and ability, but after all, he is too young and his political capital is too shallow. If it weren't for the support of the Great Knight Chief, the Hand of the King would have been nothing long ago. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can make a meritorious contribution on the battlefield of exterminating the nezumi, then the people's will and the blood of Hearn that is already mixed in Kroger's blood, no one can stop you.

Thinking of this, and looking at the group of allies in front of him who couldn't even eliminate scout detection, Andrea's anger rose again. How much he wanted these wastes to stand in front of Kroger soldiers during the war, and become a stepping stone for the family to grow. But he can't do that, these people are still useful until the day he ascends the throne, and their support is necessary.

"The Grand Knight Chief, please go to the main tent to discuss the battle plan!" Just then, the voice of the herald came from outside the tent, and the nobles set their eyes on the angry lion, and only fled in a hurry after receiving the latter's approval. Only the old gentleman who had exonerated them was still on Andrea's side, as he was the chief advisor to the Kroger family, not a nobleman in the kingdom.

"What do you think about this?" Andrea had always respected the advisor's opinion, and he was not in a hurry to attend the Grand Knight's meeting, so he did not rush out of the tent.

"According to the old man's eyes, although the scouts sent by these small families are not regular troops, they can make such a large number of scouts disappear without a trace like mud cows into the sea, which shows that the strength of the nezumi is not as weak as we imagined. In this case, it is not a wise choice to blindly apply for the lead for the sake of merit. Of course, if you talk about military strategy alone, the old man is far less experienced than the adult, and the specific method still needs to be decided by the adult. The old gentleman smiled and replied humbly.

The angry lion nodded, and he casually pulled the heavy cloak next to him and put it on his body, and walked towards the outside of the tent. And behind him, the smile of the chief advisor of the Kroger family became a little weird.
