"Oh?"

Hearing Celtic's words, Yulian was a little surprised, and he looked at the old general in front of him curiously, not understanding what he was planning to do.

"Your Excellency, this doesn't seem convenient. ”

"Nothing. ”

General Celtic waved his hand slightly, and then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It actually has something to do with you. ”

Later, Julien learned the whole thing from the Celtic general.

It turned out that not long after Yulian and the others left the Red Fortress, reinforcements from other nobles also arrived one after another, and it was these people who gave General Celt an unusually headache. After all, at the moment, in West's country, nobles with a little vision and judgment will not allow their family heirs to come to adventure. And this conscription has also become a good opportunity for the nobles to purge their dissidents. And so trouble ensued. At the moment, the nobles in the Red Fortress are also divided into such categories. One is arrogant, arrogant, stupid idiots, who think they can turn the tide, or take the opportunity to rub some credit and honor, anyway, they must have an idea that has nothing to do with war. And the other is those "unstable elements" who take the opportunity to be expelled by the family and come to die, after all, there will be more or less such people within each family, who either threaten the interests of the head of the family, or obstruct the path of the family. In the peaceful world, there is no way for the family to eliminate these guys to avoid falling into the hands of others. And now that they have such an opportunity, they are naturally willing to do it, not only to get rid of the thorn in their eyes, but also to win the favor of the royal family, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

As for the last one, there are some outbreaks of romanticism, or those who are truly for the country and the people. Of course, these nobles are also in the minority, which is not to say that most nobles are not loyal and patriotic, but a qualified nobleman always has to plan for the best of the inhabitants of his territory, and now, these people are here with their soldiers, not to defend their own family. Once they fail, then all the strength of their family will be buried here. This is not irresponsibility to the state, but to the family. And even those families who reluctantly nodded were only allowed to lead a small part of the army to come, so this faction was the weakest.

Of course, General Celt didn't want to care about these frivolous things among the nobles, he was a pure soldier, and he didn't care about the arrival of these nobles. But what he didn't expect was that these nobles would soon set off a problem that was no less than a one-eyed monster sneak attack.

The reason is simple, they all want to be the commander of this army.

Although according to the decree, they are not qualified to command the defenders inside the Red Fortress, but the strength of these nobles themselves is about 10,000 people, and if they can command these nobles, it is also a great thing. As a result, these nobles immediately began a new round of competition.

No one backed down.

For those arrogant aristocrats, they could not bear to be subservient to others, especially nobles. And for those cannon fodder, their own fate is, of course, in their own hands, they are sent to die, but it does not mean that they are going to die, so they naturally have to do their best to fight for the chance to live. For those who really came for this, they certainly did not want the army to be controlled by incompetent and wasteful aristocrats, otherwise it would only lead to defeat. So, they have to grab control as well.

The forces of the three parties did not give in to each other, and the big red fortress of Nuo was disturbed. But even so, the three factions were not able to fight for a single victory. Eventually, it was proposed that the appointed general, the respected Celtic general, would make the appointment, so that they would have no more objections.

And this is also the beginning of Celtic's nightmare, those previous sneak attacks have made him extremely tired, and Yulian's arrival has finally shared some of the pressure, and now there is such a thing. If he could, Celtic would really want to beat them up and throw them all out of the fortress to let the guys get as far away as possible.

Unfortunately, there was no way for him to do so.

Therefore, in the Celtic originally tight schedule, there was a new job -- to listen to the complaints of these nobles every day.

After telling Yuren the whole story, the two had already walked outside the reception room, and through the heavy wooden door, they could faintly hear the quarrel inside, but this time, Celtic smiled slyly at Yulen, and then pushed the door open.

The quarrel immediately stopped. Yuren thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a sly smile, and then followed Celtic into the room.

Then, he saw several nobles sitting on the sofa,-for-tat.

Sitting on the largest sofa in the middle was a fat short man, his head was as big as a watermelon, he was dressed in brocade clothes, and eight of his ten fingers were wearing golden rings, which looked as if he were a luminous body, and even the originally gloomy reception room had some sparkling meaning. At this moment, with a sneer, he was staring at the two opponents beside him.

And sitting to the right of this fat nobleman was a plainly dressed, tall and thin young man, who sat silently on the sofa on the other side, curled up his tall and thin figure, crossed his fingers, and looked indifferent, but there was arrogance in his eyes that could not be concealed.

And the last person surprised Yulian a little, because this person was none other than the member of the Bird family, Viscount Juventus, whom Yuren knew. Now he has taken off the aristocratic clothes he has been wearing, and has changed into an arm, which looks a little heroic. And the people who followed him were also familiar to Yu Lian. Those wolf-like eyes, and cold, dark complexion, weren't they the famous killer of the Zack family, Della?

It's a fun combination, what are they doing here?

Just as Yulian was thinking, everyone also turned their eyes to him. After all, this young man who followed behind General Celtic would certainly not be a simple person. But after seeing Yu Lian's dress clearly, everyone was stunned. A young nobleman? If it's an officer, then it's easy to understand, but a nobleman?

What's going on?

However, when Viscount Juventus and Della saw Yuren's figure, they immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You're here for that today?"

At this moment, Celtic's face was serious and impatient, completely different from his previous expression.

"Yes, Lord Celtic. ”

The tall, thin young man stood up and saluted Celtic respectfully.

"I understand your feelings, but I beg your understanding, this is not a trivial matter, and as time is running out at the moment, I think we need to elect a commander to lead us in battle in a more uncontroversial way. ”

"Isn't that easy?"

And at this moment, the big fat man sitting on the sofa patted his belly, looking indifferent.

"In this way, let's choose a few representatives and fight like that, and see who is more powerful, and whoever is more powerful will be the boss? How about it? This method is simple and clear, and everyone has no opinion, right?"

Speaking of this, the fat man also deliberately glanced at Viscount Juventus and the others, and it was obvious that the two sides should have had some unusual experience. And according to this guy's experience, the Viscount of Juventus will definitely raise a counterargument in the future, and he can also seize this opportunity to mock them well.

However, to the surprise of this fat man, this time the Viscount of Juventus did not refute, on the contrary, he exchanged strange glances with Dra, and then replied.

"This ......... We don't have a big deal. ”

"Huh?"

"It's stupid. ”

After hearing the unexpected answer, the fat nobleman couldn't help but be stunned, and at this time, the tall and thin young man snorted coldly.

"Mr. Clark, this is war, not street hooligans, and it is not the way to be a soldier. ”

"You can't say that, strength is necessary for soldiers, otherwise, wouldn't you just find someone to go into battle and kill the enemy?

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel again, Celt snorted coldly. And hearing his snort, everyone immediately shut up again, even if they wanted to fight for power and profit, at least they knew that here, the most powerful person was the old general in front of him, once he was provoked, it would be light to drive him out of the fortress. In case he is dragged out and cut down on the charge of not abiding by military discipline and disrespecting military law, this is really wronged. So this is also the reason why although these nobles are vying for power, they still don't dare to make a big move.

After the crowd fell silent again, Celtic glanced at them and spoke.

"I understand what you think, this matter really can't be delayed, especially now that the military situation is urgent, and it's time to make a decision. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the four people immediately became solemn. From Celtic's words, they could hear that this time the old general was serious, and he really planned to make a decision! You know, in the past, in the face of their quarrels, this old general always said "study and study before making a decision" as an excuse, but this time, he told them unmistakably that he had really made a decision!

And after thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, they straightened their chests and looked at the old general in front of them.

Who will he choose?

Who is he going to choose?

Who will he choose?

Everyone was waiting for an answer, but they didn't expect that at this moment, Yuren, who had been following behind the Celtic general silently, suddenly spoke.

"General Celtic, I have a suggestion. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, General Celtic's face was a little strange, he glanced at Yuren and opened his mouth, although he was eager to announce his decision immediately. But after seeing You Lian's smiling expression, the old general felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and swallowed back the words that he was about to say.

"What do you want to say?"

"I think you also understand, General Celtic, the most taboo thing in an army is estrangement, but looking at the appearance of these people in front of you, no matter who you choose, the others will not be convinced. ”

“..................”

General Celt didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, of course they understood what Yuren meant, this was just nonsense, but among the nobles, isn't it just to see who can ride whom on their heads?

Frankly, the current situation is full of embarrassment. In terms of status, the representatives of the three factions present are all viscounts, and in terms of age, they are all only one or two years apart, and in terms of prestige and strength, they are also no different. Moreover, the positions of the three parties are very contradictory, some people do not care about their country, while others want to protect their homeland, and some simply want to get some benefits from it. The contradictions are irreconcilable, and naturally there is no way to integrate them.

"And now, since we have joined the army, we naturally have to do it the way of the army. ”

Saying this, You Lian clapped his hands, and a rather "harmless to humans and animals" smile appeared on his face.

"Why, then, can't you fight for victory or defeat with military merit? As a rule of thumb, before the battle of attack and defense really begins, both sides will engage in some small-scale trials, so I personally suggest that if you can, you can lead your men to fight in these temptations. See who has won enough victories, and who is qualified to lead all the noble armies, Lord Celtic, what do you think of this proposal?"

"This ........."

Hearing this, Celtic really hesitated. Frankly, he had planned to leave this mess to Yulian to deal with. Although he also knew that this was definitely not the best solution, he believed that Yulian would definitely be able to solve this problem.

But now, Yulian told him clearly, don't always drag yourself into the water for this kind of thing, Celtic is really a little ashamed, Yulian just came and dragged him to help him solve those one-eyed monsters, and now he just came back and wants him to solve these troubles. People don't even have food or water...... And the old face of General Celtic can't go down anymore. If he insisted on giving this order at this moment, it was obvious that Yulian would never do it.

At this time, the eyes of several other people were also focused on Yu Lian's body. If they were just curious before, now they are puzzled, you know, the Celtic general is so respected that even they don't dare to talk nonsense in front of him. But this young nobleman could not only interject, but was even valued by the Celtic general?

Who is he?

"Okay. ”

Celt hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to agree with Yuren, after all, this is nothing to lose for him, and it is always a good choice for a soldier to be able to not die his own troops. In this way, there is also an explanation on the side of the nobles, this is their own loyalty and patriotism, and it is a big deal to die in a beautiful funeral, and it has nothing to do with themselves......... "I agree with you, Mr. Yulian." ”

Once he had made up his mind, Celtic made his decision.

"Well, then, things are settled, and you all get ready. Of course, before you go to war, according to the rules of the army, you are only allowed to attack with my consent, and if you disobey the order, you will be dealt with by military law!

"Yes, General. ”

Now that General Celtic had already spoken, the nobles sitting there could no longer say anything more, and they could only nod their heads in agreement. In any case, they also spent a considerable amount of energy on this, and now, anyway, they finally came up with a solution, which General Celtic said, so they had to accept it.

"Now that it's been decided, let's all disperse. ”

As soon as Celtic spoke, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"As a commander, I still have a lot of things to deal with in the fortress, and I hope that such things will never appear in front of me in the future!"

This can be said to be a threat, but also a warning. Obviously, the commander has already spoken, so that is, if similar problems arise in the future, then this general may be judged by means unimaginable to everyone.

With that, Celt turned and walked out of the reception room. Yuren shrugged his shoulders and turned away. After that, Viscount Juventus and Draa glanced at each other and immediately chased after each other. Only the fat nobleman was left, and the tall and thin young man was left. And now, the fat aristocrat was looking at his opponent with a grin, on the other hand.

"What a pity, Mr. Chelton, you have done so much so with all your heart, and the result is not as good as a strange little nobleman we have never seen? I really can't figure out where all your previous skills have gone? Could it be that you have slept too much with women?"

"Hmph. You bunch of shit, you haven't judged me yet. ”

The tall and thin man looked at the fat nobleman, his face showing disdainful mockery and contempt.

"Anyway, you low-level idiot is just a waste sent to die, and I have no mood to talk to a waste like you. What belongs to me will belong to me sooner or later. And you? ”

As he spoke, the tall and thin man waved his hand coldly and left the room. Only the fat nobleman was left to sit there with a grin, and his face changed until the figure of the tall and thin nobleman disappeared completely.

"It seems that things are really getting troublesome. Go and investigate now to find out where that nobleman came from. ”

"Yes, master. ”

With these words, the air around the fat nobleman suddenly distorted slightly, and then, calm again.
