Chapter 504: Statement
It is not known what Sophia told Sidney until the evening, when Leo convened his subordinate generals in the Chinese army's tent, did he see Sidney again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Excellency, may I ask who the new knights under your command are? They have no chivalry at all, and they have done all the way south from Panon, burning and looting along the way, and even doing such heinous things as slaughtering villages. In the southern region of the Paris Empire, there has been considerable public resentment, and even those Anderheitson tycoons have begun to hire a large number of mercenary groups, ready to fight the Principality of Plitz to the end! If this continues, I am afraid that our idea of destroying the Paris Empire will not be realized at all. ”
As soon as the deliberations began, Sidney stood up and loudly condemned the evil deeds of the Eight Banners Legion. After all, he is a knight, and chivalry has become a deep-rooted norm in Sidney's mind, and those Eight Banners disciples are simply insulting to the word knight in Sidney's eyes.
"Yes, Captain Sidney is right!" Joan of Arc also stepped forward to support what Sidney said. "Those knights are simply ruining the reputation of the Principality of Pritz, and once these things are publicized, then the Principality of Pritz will be hostile to all the countries of the continent. ”
Leo raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, Ao Bai this guy really went too far, you said that if you kill someone, you will kill someone, the key is to make the tail of the hand a little cleaner! Now it's like this, so that Leo can't protect him.
"Hyakchi Yushige, send the Iga ninja to find Aobai, and order him to immediately lead the Eight Banners Legion back to Panon to station!" Leo turned to Hyakuchi Yushige and ordered.
Leo did need the strong combat ability of the Eight Banners to conquer the city for him, but that didn't mean that Leo would condone their wanton destruction, after all, Leo was not like the city he took over in the future and was tossed into a dead field by the children of the Eight Banners.
In fact, after the loss of the three major legions and garrisons, the current Paris Empire has existed in name only. In addition to the three cities under the jurisdiction of the original Duchy of Paris, the other countries and cities that were captured by Paris have declared their independence from the rule of the Paris Empire. Less than a year after its restoration, the once formidable Parris Empire collapsed and was beaten back to its original shape.
In the middle of the continent, the rich Plains of Harvest have reverted to the state of small states with intricate relations, but the strongest of them is Leo's Principality of Pritz.
"Your Excellency, I think the marriage with the Paris Empire is very necessary!" Joan of Arc suggested something that shocked Leo.
"After all, the Paris Empire is the orthodoxy representing the human royal family on the mainland, and the Paris family's bloodline has a long history, and if you marry Princess Sophia, you can quickly increase the influence of the Principality of Pritz. Besides, now that we can't afford to expand for the time being, the northern provinces that are the dowry of Princess Sophia are of great value. The peaceful takeover of an entire province can not only justifiably include a large area of territory into the Principality of Pritz, but also demand a large amount of war reparations from the Paris Empire, so that the Principality of Pritz is about to usher in great room for development. ”
"Besides, Princess Sophia is the most delicate flower in the Paris Empire, and her noble birth is not an insult to the Grand Duke, which is really an excellent ending for killing two birds with one stone......! Just steal the fun!" Joan of Arc's words suddenly made Sidney's mood worse, originally because Joan of Arc supported his own views and had a slight impression of Joan of Arc, but this time Joan of Arc was not pleasing to the eye.
Before Leo could open his mouth to refuse, Leonidas next to him grinned and said, "The land and the beauties are born to belong to the victors, and since we have won the war, it is only natural to take away their most beautiful women!"
"Being able to make the enemy country beg for mercy and kiss is also an opportunity to show the strength of our country, the lord is proud enough, such a thing must not be missed!" Even Gao Xianzhi began to approve of Leo marrying Princess Sophia.
"I don't agree!"
One was thick and one was crisp, and the two voices sounded in unison, and the words they said were exactly the same, such a tacit understanding made the Chinese army tent quiet, and everyone looked at Leo and Sidney, who spoke at the same time.
Sidney was both surprised and delighted that Leo was able to speak out against the marriage with her, and her face showed a look of utter surprise and surprise, and her face was no longer so pale, and her eyes were not so sharp.
"I am against marriage because I will not tie my own marriage to the Principality of Priew. I am in charge of my country, and I can take what I need by my own strength, not by the so-called blood of a woman!" said Leo righteously.
But then he added: "Besides, I also have someone I like, and I'm not interested in marrying a princess!"
Leo's words made everyone in the camp smile heartily, and they all looked at Sidney, as if they had sensed something because of the tacit understanding between the two of them so neatly and synchronously before.
At this time, Sidney ignored everyone's gaze, and her head and ears were full of words: I also have someone I like, and I am not interested in marrying a princess.
He actually said that he liked it, and the person he liked must be me, it must be me!
Sidney shouted inwardly, a blush on her delicate face, and her eyes softened when she looked at Leo. The former heroic and majestic army commander is just a girl who is just in love at the moment, and she is intoxicated by her lover's words.
When Joan of Arc saw Sidney's appearance, she guessed her thoughts, and her brow couldn't help but furrow slightly. Although Sidney was an excellent legionary captain and knight, Princess Sophia was clearly of greater benefit to Grand Duke Leo and the Duchy of Pritz in comparison, so Sidney was not the best choice for Joan of Arc.
However, Joan of Arc will not be so disobedient at this time, after all, disobedience to the lord will bring very serious consequences, she has already suffered such a loss in her previous life, so she subconsciously avoided doing so.
Princess Sophia, who received a clear answer, could only leave the Pritz barracks with hatred, and in her heart regarded Leo's rejection as the greatest humiliation to herself. However, Princess Sophia naturally couldn't just go back empty-handed, and not long after leaving, Princess Sophia's car turned to another path, and she planned to integrate the scattered small countries and unite them to serve the empire again.
