Chapter 233: Start Again

Marshal Foster's son had a shocked and unacceptable expression, but the woman in the car with him saw it quite thoroughly. Roy's words caught the attention of the two young generals, who looked inside through the car window, and were quickly caught by the girl's beauty.

Like the other first-time visitors, the two officers from southern Xinjiang initially mistook Roy for Rod's wife or girlfriend, and after some explanation, they realized that this was the legendary flower of the imperial capital.

Rhodes is no longer the child who watched a bunch of adventure stories and was full of naΓ―ve fantasies. Although no one told him in person, he had gradually understood a truth by his own reflection: In this world, there is no universal and eternal principle of justice, and some only the strong make the rules, and the weak follow the rules.

If you are on the weak side, it will be considered a violation of the rule of law to stop atrocities or even save people, and once you are strong, even if you kill thousands of people, you can claim to have brought civilization, order and development to you.

The world is cruel, but I am lucky to be on the strong side.

......

He didn't want to say anything about the Imperial Army's massacre of the Garks, but he was a little nervous, not because the two officers in front of him had just been involved in the mass execution of the Garks, but because they had talked about dealing with the Resistance Anteli.

At this juncture, what does the emperor want to do when he recalls the generals of the southern Xinjiang army who have completed the counterinsurgency back to the imperial capital?

"Well, I hope that the smooth counterinsurgency will indeed bring peace and development to Andrew Province. Rod nodded and said, "After the two emperors have accepted the awards, what are the plans?"

"The two of them are not the biggest contributors to the counterinsurgency, but they were recalled to the imperial capital, most likely to fill the vacancy in the military department. Although he is younger, he has military exploits and can also silence some people...... And it is precisely because of his youth that he has a promising future. Victor said with a smile: "I have heard some inside information, Your Majesty may want to meet with them, and after rewarding them, he will directly send the two of them to Antaili to deal with the resistance." ”

"What?" Rhodes was shocked, didn't he say that he wanted to negotiate on behalf of the empire, why did he send more excellent young generals, what did he mean, could it be that his father wanted to teach himself a lesson?

The baron looked at both sides, and his voice lowered: "Originally, the northern border of the empire has gathered 300,000 troops, and if it follows the original plan to quickly follow up north, it is enough to easily occupy and control Antaili. But more than 200,000 of them were temporarily transferred to the east by Field Marshal Foster, and it was said that he was going to encircle and suppress some 'demon' in the primeval forest of Boundary Mountain? Even the mage troops were pulled over! Due to the lack of troops, the troops that had entered Anteli could only maintain their current results, and they had no strength to pick up the two major dukes of Tali and Morey, who were still resisting, and at the same time, the little queen was also hiding in the great forest of Calvinhall and commanding the resistance to attack and harass the imperial army, which made the newly appointed commander of the advance corps anxious and constantly asked for support. The emperor has ordered that the resistance be eliminated as soon as possible, at all costs. ”

"That's right. Rod turned his head to look at Roy, and saw that she shook his head slightly, so he had to hold back his doubts, and turned back again: "Understood, since the two knights have just arrived in Wenwei, let's go to the military headquarters to report first, and I won't waste your time." ”

"Okay, let's take my leave. The baron nodded, pulled his horse, and walked away from the carriage with the two young generals.

"What's going on, didn't my father tell me to negotiate, why did Your Majesty transfer the officers who had just finished counterinsurgency? ”

"What's the hurry! What my father promised you, does the emperor dare to change it casually? Roy gave him an unpleasant look: "Indeed, you will soon receive an order to temporarily take over the command of all the imperial forces in Anteli and solve the problem of the resistance as soon as possible." But the order is dead, the man is alive, and you can be unaffected by the king's order when you arrive in Antaili, as for whether you will destroy the resistance by force or negotiate surrender through peaceful means, as long as the ultimate goal is achieved, who cares how you do it!"

"Oh...... That's right. Rod realized that he was overthinking and put his mind at ease.

"You're in a hurry, it's time to change it. Roy shook his head hatefully: "Hurry home, prepare what to prepare, and say goodbye to your friends, most of those two young men just now are your deputies on this trip to Anteli, since they have arrived, you will soon receive orders." ”

"Okay, then let's go home first, I'll take the time to meet friends I haven't seen for a long time, and then I can wait for the departure with peace of mind." ”

***

As soon as he said it, Rod quickly went to find a few friends, first apologized to Sephes for not being able to bring him a little fox back, and then ate and drank with these fox friends, probably because he had something on his mind, and he couldn't find the ease and comfort when he wasted time with them in the past. Hurriedly said goodbye, and went to meet Friss next door.

......

"You said you wanted to find a gentle and beautiful wife, but I don't think you found it this time. The girl winked at him and said bluntly, "Do you want to take a little more time and try your luck, or do you want to think about me?"

"Flis...... I really like you. Rod looked at her in distress, remembering the terrible fate of Roy's first boyfriend - he didn't like it but had to get together, and the ending was really ugly. After hesitating, he finally decided to confess to his friend, "But since I was a child, I have always regarded you as my best friend and confidant, and I have never thought of that." Even if I can't find the ideal wife in the end, it's hard for me to convince myself to accept your ...... I'm so familiar with you, it feels weird. Youth is limited, so don't waste your time waiting for me, and look at the other people around you. ”

He decided to make it clear out out of kindness that he didn't want his friend to be a spare tire, but the other party obviously didn't appreciate it, and the girl glared at him angrily, as if she was greatly humiliated, as if she was about to slap him in the next second, but in the end, she threw down an eviction order, ignored him and left directly.

The boy was at a loss for anything until he left Frise and refused to see him, but the Emperor's order, which had been waiting for a long time, finally came down - he was appointed as a special officer, and he was sent to the war zone in Anteli to deal with the threat of the resistance, and he had all the authority and could act cheaply, and the relevant departments and all the troops in Anteli must obey the orders and cooperate fully until the task is completed.

Although the trouble of annoying his friend for some reason has not been solved, time waits for no one after all, and after leaving a letter to Friss, he still decides to set off for Antelli immediately to end the war as soon as possible.
