Chapter 234: Journey and Deliberation
According to Roy, Emperor Kyle really sent the two young generals transferred from the south the day before yesterday to Rhodes in the form of deputies for his disposal, counting the Baron Victor who was in charge of the guard, and the three officers who met by chance on the street that day all followed Rhodes on the journey north. To the boy's surprise, his twin sister himself actually planned to accompany him.
"You're going to follow me too?" Rod asked curiously, "What about your classes at the Academy of Magic, and the experimental research you participated in, over?"
"Of course not. However, it is also easy to learn on your own...... It's difficult, it's too early to get in touch without laying a good foundation. Roy glanced at the boy: "The front is all excuses, in fact, I'm worried that you will get yourself into some danger again, and I don't feel at ease if I don't look at you personally." ”
"Snort...... The emperor sent a whole battalion of soldiers to protect me, what other danger could there be. ”
"Why, you still dare to dislike me?" Roy wrinkled his nose, "Your precious silver child would wish I could follow, otherwise who would she learn magic from?"
"Meow meow. The little silver fox moved his ears and screamed twice, as if to affirm his magic teacher's words.
Actually, all of the above is an excuse, Roy just doesn't want to experience the taste of being separated from his twin brother anymore, and after a few months of separation, he is almost driven crazy by the feeling of missing something in his life and being scared all day. Magic and ideals can be put away.,There's only one brother who has the same mother.。
Rhodes didn't say anything more, welcoming his sister's company. From a young nobleman who swore that he would never inherit his father's business and had never served as a soldier for a day, he suddenly became a special official with the authority to command nearly 100,000 elite imperial legions in Antaili, even with Baron Victor and two other young generals in the area, he was still a little flustered. There is a meticulous and clever Luo Yi, at least you can find her to come up with ideas if you encounter any trouble.
......
Naturally, Benikita, the little henchman she picked up, was clamoring to go with him, but Roy had already arranged a place for her to go and she would be educated from scratch in the academy where both siblings had stayed. The girl is undoubtedly lucky, and the trajectory of her life will be completely different from that of her former companions in the den of thieves.
***
The first half of their trip was still a convenient and comfortable waterway, and for the first time, they had deputies or staff members, and Rhodes naturally had to deal with the three generals sent to him by His Majesty the Emperor. Although the boy had some disdain in his heart to be in the company of Baron Wicktore, Roy told him that a guy who bullies the weak and likes to flatter is not necessarily useless, and as an officer who was born and lived for a long time and served in the North, Victor is the person he needs to rely on most on this trip.
"The closer you get to the north, the more people who live in places with harsher climates worship the strong, and although even the northernmost part of the empire is not much north, there is such a tendency after all. The soldiers of the North worshipped the Duke of Foster, who was said to be the god of war...... But for you, a young commander who suddenly parachuted in without any foundation or qualifications may not be convinced. In the cabin, Baron Victor spoke to Rhodes about his opinion: "I have heard that you are good at swordsmanship, and you can occasionally take the opportunity to show your strength in front of the sergeants, such as morning exercises, and then have a few exchanges with interested officers and generals...... Just let the soldiers of the North know that the new commissioner is not a helpless man, and both their attitude towards you and the efficiency of their execution of your orders in private will be significantly improved. ”
"Hmm. Rhodes nodded his head unrefusingly, realizing that the baron had actually said it very tactfully—he was often called a sissy or a sissy because of his tender face, and this time he had to command an army of nearly 100,000 men, and this problem would probably cause a lot of inconvenience if it was not resolved.
"Also, considering that not long ago, General Kéré, the former commander of the army, misunderstood you because of the intrigues of Narig's traitors, and finally lost his life on impulse...... The soldiers of the original legion may be a little hostile to you. Although all of Commander Carlyre's close generals have been recalled and replaced, and the army will obey your orders, it is better to be careful that you are always under the protection of the personal guard battalion that His Majesty has assigned to you. ”
The Baron and Rhodes exchanged details and arrangements for the trip north to the occupied territory of the Antelli Empire, and Victor suggested many things that needed attention, and the young man, although irritated, forced himself to listen to them one by one and memorize them in his mind. This time, he is a special commissioner who will bring peace and save countless lives, and Roy is also by his side, so he can no longer be regarded as a willful and ignorant child like before.
On the other hand, the two young generals of the southern rookies who had just been promoted for meritorious service made no secret of their admiration for Roy, they had both heard of the girl's name of "Flower of the Imperial Capital", but they had never experienced the latter's iceberg beauty. Before he keeps hitting a wall and finally gives up, Roy is afraid that he will have to endure harassment for a while.
......
Roy understood that His Majesty the Emperor had sent two outstanding young generals from the south to accompany his brother's trip, considering that General Carlyle had been in command of the army in the north for a long time, and that the residual prestige and influence in the army might interfere with the execution of Rhodes' ideas and orders, and that it was necessary to arrange two reliable and capable people to assist him. So she endured impatience and boredom, and dealt with the two young people with three points of politeness, three points of coldness, three points of pride, and one point of gentleness. It is really a troublesome thing not to hurt their self-esteem, but also to curb their wishful thinking.
She had to find something to divert their attention: "By the way, I heard that everyone suspected that the Gak rebellion was secretly funded by the Erikon Empire, and after the counterinsurgency was over, did you find any clues?" ”
"There is no doubt that the Garks are absolutely aided by outside forces. The baby-faced Sir Morgan immediately replied, "There are supplies and people among them...... However, after interrogation, a group of people who were sent by the 'mysterious forces' to serve as military advisers to the Gak clan were rescued by magically by the mages who suddenly appeared before we could break through the main village of the Gak. So we can only look for clues from what is left behind, and after investigation, we have found that the support of the Galk comes from at least three forces...... Among them, the Ericon Empire is the majority, and the identities of the remaining two parties may be difficult to find out in a short period of time. ”
"There must be a share of Narig, such a small country actually intends to take advantage of the opportunity of the Great War to jump out against the empire, there must be something behind them that gives them confidence. Roy said in an unquestioning tone, "You two, immediately think of getting some evidence, and you can forge it." I am sure that we will use it in our negotiations with the Resistance Army. ”
