Chapter 189: The King Has an Order
When Julien was once again summoned to the fortress by the Celtic generals, it was already dusk ten days later.
"What's going on this time?"
"His Majesty has sent a secret order. ”
In the face of Yulian, who didn't care and was leisurely and relaxed, Celt couldn't lose his temper, but just smiled helplessly.
"He received a protest from the Sith Empire. ”
"Protest?"
Hearing this, You Lian raised his eyebrows and focused his attention on the old general in front of him.
"They claim that they were attacked by us a few days ago during their routine patrol of the border, and that they named your name and legion. According to them, you took the initiative to attack the Sith Empire's patrol and caused damage to it. Therefore, the Sith Empire asks us to give him an account and an account. ”
"What about the reaction of our His Majesty the King?"
As for the words of the Sith Empire, Yulian didn't care at all. Sometimes wars between nations are like criminal offenses, and you know that a criminal has a detailed murder plan, murder weapon, and escape route. But until he really committed a crime, this is nothing more than a delusion in the mind of an ordinary person, and the laws of any country will not allow relying on delusions to catch criminals. It's the same between countries, even if everyone knows that the Sith Empire has been overwhelmed by a large army and is ready for all battles -- but after all, this hasn't started a fight yet, has it?
Therefore, it was never surprising that the Sith Empire would protest in such a tone, after all, it was one of the gifted knights, not an ordinary cat or dog, and if he died, he would die. Although Judy was not able to kill the other party at that time, Yulian believed that with her strength, she could easily give the other party a lesson that she would never forget. In this case, the Sith Empire will naturally not be so resigned, after all, even if it is not for the sake of face, they must show that they attach importance to their subordinates, otherwise, once they lose their loyalty, then it will be very troublesome.
But Yulian didn't care, whether it was Sith or West, for him, they were just planned pawns, and chess players never felt any threat to chess pieces.
And you won't feel in danger.
"His Majesty's attitude is ambiguous, he has not yet made a final decision. ”
Celtic frowned, this was what he was most dissatisfied with, knowing that he had already reported the situation. But His Majesty the King couldn't make up his mind. Originally, the two sides are friends and foes, so what's wrong with beating you? Even if they beat you, at least they will come up with some evidence. But this His Majesty the King is good, the other party has not yet come up with evidence to prove it, and he has already messed up first. In fact, his narration of Yulian is already slightly reserved. You must know that when His Majesty the King asked him, Shen looked very anxious, which made Celtic a little worried about whether the king had the same expression in front of the other party. If that's the case, then it's a big problem.
After all, no matter how the Sith Empire wants to attack West, it can be regarded as a nobody. The previous request for West to hand over the members of the royal family of Orrut to them was nothing more than a strong reason. We cannot say that you are sheltering the enemies of our country, so we will send troops against you...... This is a reason, but it is also an unreasonable move. But now it is different, and attacking the patrol teams of other countries without authorization can definitely provoke a war. If it is two countries of equal strength, then you have a reason, I have evidence, you can still talk about it for a hundred and eighty years, maybe you will gradually forget it. But now, the strength of the two sides is completely unequal! What the Sith Empire needs is just such a reason for the division to be famous!
When contacting His Majesty the King, Celt had already stated all the key points, and he had already explained to His Majesty that since Julien's men could make the other party's gifted knights suffer a big loss, it meant that Julien had enough power to resist the Sith Empire, and at the current critical juncture, he could only solicit and never do something that would hurt the feelings of both parties. But His Majesty didn't pay much attention to that. Although Celtic was not unable to understand that, as a king, the first thing he naturally demanded was the loyalty of his subordinates. But even what you have done since the beginning of the day is very rare to be called how respectful or loyal you are. Moreover, from his words and deeds, it seems that he has no good feelings for His Majesty the King. Of course, if people have such strength, they naturally won't take King West seriously, but for a king, being despised like this will naturally be unhappy. If it was those eloquent monarchs, then even if they had some doubts about Yuren before, they would immediately start to vigorously woo Yuren after receiving this report. After all, if the previous report was still suspected of boasting, then this time there is circumstantial evidence of the Sith Empire! It is very likely to be true to a large extent, after all, the Sith Empire is shameless, and it will not make such a bad joke with its own talented knights, otherwise once the matter spreads, then the face of the Sith Empire will naturally not be able to be pulled.
But how can this His Majesty be like this............
Celt secretly gritted his teeth and sighed. In the past, he also knew that what he was serving was not a Ming Jun, but it was in peacetime, although His Majesty was a little out of tune, but at least there was no disaster to the country and the people, and the depraved behavior of Jiuchi Roulin, so he gritted his teeth and endured it. But now in the time of war, this His Majesty the King is still so brainless, it can't help but make people itch a little hate.
In fact, Celtic still hid some truths from Yulian, and West V was not without ambiguity, on the contrary, he had already issued an order that Celtic would take over the aristocratic coalition, and restrain all of Yulian's actions, and if he disobeyed the order, then he would be dealt with by military law.
Military Justice ......
Thinking of this command, Celtic was depressed and wanted to laugh three times, and then cry three times. Our Majesty the King has really been in the palace for a long time, and his mind is a little wrong. The strength of the people is stronger than me, and it is clear that they have no sworn allegiance to the kingdom, and the military law will deal with it? Don't make it bad that the Sith Empire has not started to attack, and your side will be completely finished, then thank God!
To be fair, Celtic didn't want that. But at the moment, he has no choice, after all, the king's fate is difficult to disobey. Although he had argued with reason, His Majesty obviously did not listen, and even warned him that if he did not follow the order, then he would order others to come here and take charge of the garrison of the Red Fortress. After all, West V was far away in the royal city, and he only listened to reports on the situation on the border of the fortress. However, the king felt the things in the royal city personally, so he hated Yu Lian very much. Just because of this little nobleman, the Mobis family has fallen out, and now the Sith Empire has even sent people to express an official protest through diplomatic channels, and now the nobles of all sizes in the royal city are talking about it, and his pressure is naturally not small.
"So............... His Majesty the King gave the order. ”
Eventually, Celtic sighed and gave up struggling. Let's make trouble, out of sight is pure, as long as You Lian doesn't kill people under his nose, he will treat it as if he hasn't seen anything, anyway, it's none of his business.
"I hope that you, as the person in charge, can personally return to the royal city and report the conflict to His Majesty the King. ”
"Now?"
Hearing this, You Lian showed a smile on his face.
"That Your Majesty of ours is so laid-back, did he buy some limited-time snacks and plan to treat me to afternoon tea?"
"Well, I won't say much superfluous nonsense. ”
Celtic waved his hand, he was really tired.
"Mr. Yuren, Your Majesty has already given the order, so you'd better go. Moreover, I think that at least for this time, there will be no more major movements in the Sith Empire, and there should be no problem. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”
You Lian smiled and played with the teacup in his hand, but the words he said were merciless.
"Did that Your Majesty also give an order that you should take charge of all my troops?"
“...............”
Hearing this, Celtic finally didn't hide it anymore, but nodded heavily.
"Yes, His Majesty did say so. ”
At this, Celt retracted the last smile on his face and looked at Yuren seriously and resolutely.
"Mr. Yuren, I've never been a persuasive person, but I want you to know that the reason why I'm confessing this to you is that I want you to be able to focus on the big picture. Indeed, I admit that His Majesty has made a gross error in his judgment on this occasion, and that he does not have a good opinion of you, but I hope that you will not make some decisions that we regret because of this. After all, we are here not only to protect His Majesty, but also to protect the people of the kingdom from the threat of war, so that they can continue to live in safety. I know that with my current strength, I am not qualified to ask you and your subordinates to do anything. Still, I ask you, I ask you to be able to ............ Stay, if you can stay and help us hold the Red Fortress together, then, I assure you, no matter what you have suffered. I'll get it back for you later!"
With that, Celt stood up, and then, bowing his head deeply towards Yuren.
"Please, Mr. Yuren. ”
“........................”
In the face of Celtic's actions, Yulian did not speak immediately, he just quietly stared at the old soldier in front of him, looking at his originally upright posture, but at this moment, it was already a little bent. The pale hair added a touch of old age and desolation.
"Please keep your head up, General Celtic. ”
After a long time, Yulian's voice sounded again.
"It's not your problem, and it's not your responsibility, so you don't need to do anything to me. I'm a man of promises, and since I promised to come and help you defend the fortress, then I will definitely do it. Rest assured, and as for the idiot king's side, the decisions he makes are purely a matter of personal intelligence, and you don't need to be responsible for him. So, what I'm going to do will only be up to me. ”
With that, Yuren stood up.
"So, what about the exact time?"
"Within a week. ”
"Okay. ”
Hearing this, Yulian nodded.
"I'll leave for the royal city, but I'll leave Messiah and Semiya, and Judy here, and help you defend the right flank, and I don't think you need to worry about anything in the meantime. ”
"That's fine. ”
Hearing this, Celtic's frown finally loosened a little. After all, he knows very well how tough these three people are. If they are here, then even if Yulian leaves temporarily, there is no need to worry. However, Yu Lian's next sentence made him change his face again.
"So, this time I'll just take O'Faryl and Charlotte away, and I don't need you to bother with it. ”
"Wait!Mr. Yuren!!"
Hearing this, Celt screamed and interrupted Julien's speech. He stared at the young man in front of him in shock, his face pale.
"Are you really planning to take His Highness O'Fariel to the Royal City?"
"That's right. ”
Yu Lian's expression still did not change in the slightest, and it was as relaxed as if he was traveling.
"She had a defeat the other day and was in a dull mood, and I think it's always good to go out and relax. And the royal city is so prosperous, girls, they like those lively places, and she is my adjutant and always has to follow me, right?"
"But ........."
"Well, Mr. Celtic, I don't have much time, so I won't talk much. Moreover, Miss O'Faryl had told me that she wanted to visit the royal capital, and I thought it would be a good opportunity, so I took my leave. ”
After saying this neatly, Yulian immediately gave Celtic a noble salute, and then turned to leave. But the old general looked at Youlian's back blankly, unable to say anything at all. He had already noticed that although Yulian did not complain about it on the surface, it was obvious from his behavior just now that he did not have any good feelings for the king! Holy grace is above! You must know that Princess Ofariel's influence within the kingdom is unparalleled! Even after her death, she has not been completely forgotten, and even because of the incompetence of West V, many people have begun to miss the flower of the kingdom back then. Of course, history has no ifs, and the dead will not be brought back to life, so they can only remember it. However, if Offariel really appeared in front of them, would those nobles continue to be loyal to Wester V when the kingdom was in turmoil?!
Deep down in Celtic's heart, there was a strong, ominous premonition that perhaps there was going to be a civil strife in the kingdom.
Julien didn't care what Celtic thought, in fact, as early as Celt informed him, he had guessed that His Majesty was likely to be in trouble with him. Because O'Faryl had clearly speculated that His Majesty was not a far-sighted man, on the contrary, he was short-sighted, only knew how to look at the immediate interests, and never considered the long-term development. If the Sith Empire presses this matter out, then there is a good chance that he will find trouble with Yulian. And as far as the current situation is concerned, it is really not bad.
After returning to the station, Yulian immediately gathered his subordinates, and then told the news, and everyone who heard it had different faces.
"Do you mean that His Majesty the King ordered you to go to the royal capital and report to him in person?"
Charlotte's expression was wonderful, she puffed out her cheeks, and finally glanced at O'Faryl, and then swallowed the smile back into her stomach.
"Stupid decision. ”
"Stupid behavior. ”
"There is no good end to bullying my brother. ”
"The only way to deal with Dad is to die. ”
Messia and Semiya were clearly not as reserved as Charlotte, and they grinned and shook hands with each other and spoke.
"Brother, do you want to kill him?"
"Dad, let's do it. ”
"No, I don't. ”
Yulian waved his hand and rejected the Gemini Sisters' proposal.
"It's not your battlefield, and since I said that I want to help General Celtic defend the Red Fortress, then I naturally have to keep my promise. You and Judy will be left behind to patrol the right flank line as before. I don't think anyone on the Sith side will be stupid enough to want to trouble us again. ”
"So, ......... you travel this time?"
"Just let O'Faryl go with me. ”
With that, Yuren looked at Ofariel.
"You don't have a problem. ”
"I......... Is it really possible?"
Offariel looked up at Yuren and asked with some hesitation. Since that defeat, Her Royal Highness the former princess seems to have lost some of her self-confidence. This is one of the reasons why Yuren will open his mouth to lead her there.
"Of course, you are my adjutant, so naturally you have to follow my side. Besides, didn't you say before that you want to go back to the royal capital?"
"I did say that, but ............"
Ofaryl's mood was a little depressed at the moment, she thought about it, but she didn't know what to say.
"Well, I'm not going. ”
At this moment, Charlotte smiled and spoke, she secretly glanced at Ofariel, and then gave Yulian a "understanding" look.
"I'll stay here and liaise with the sisters of the Twilight Forest, and if anything is out of the ordinary, I'll report it to you, my lord. ”
"Good. ”
Yulian glanced around the crowd, then clapped his hands and signaled that the discussion was over.
"So it's decided......... By the way, Charlotte, that look of yours is completely unnecessary. ”
"I hope so too, Yuren-sama, but ......"
As she spoke, Charlotte leaned into Julien's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Don't really tell Miss O'Faryl about that before you go?"
"It's her private business. ”
Hearing Charlotte's inquiry, Yulian frowned.
"Only she is qualified to deal with and judge, so don't ask any more questions, remember, we don't know anything. ”
"Yes, master, I see what you mean. ”
