Chapter 211: Falling apart
Count Gavin took the letter and sent the messenger away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When the messenger was gone, Count Gavin hesitated for a moment, and then opened the letter. When he saw the letter written by Lance himself, Count Gavin was shocked. Since the southern expedition, the doubts that have haunted Count Gavin's head have only been solved.
Why did the troops march so slowly, why did Joseph not participate in the blitzkrieg between Lance and Princess Eve in the South Clay Plains, but he felt that every move he made was a judgment made with a good understanding of the South Clay Plains after the battle.
It turned out that Lance was all operating behind the scenes. When Gavin learned the truth, he was very unhappy. This Lance humiliated his son and younger brother, and once embarrassed the Iron Helmet mercenary group he invited repeatedly, which made him very embarrassed.
This time, Lance dared to dare to make an immortal contribution on his own, and Count Gavin was very angry.
So Count Gavin went into the military tent, and at this time the Duke of Aceh and Joseph were discussing the military situation.
"Gavin, are you here?" said the Duke of Aceh, "I have just decided with Joseph that we are going to give the cavalry regiment a rest in Heathvoy. Then we first sent the infantry south. ”
Count Gavin said with disdain, "Why? We are now in high spirits, and we should send a cavalry regiment to continue southward and attack the remaining cities as quickly as possible." Otherwise, what will the demons do if they gather again?"
Joseph smiled and said, "Gavin, what you said makes sense, and I know that you are eager to regain lost territory, but now that the soldiers are already sleepy, it is really not appropriate to continue the march." Think about it, the 100,000 people of the demon race have been defeated by us, their defense line is so long, and there are so many loopholes, they can't form a big combat power in a month, do they still care about the time of these two days? Not to mention that with the leadership of our wise Duke of Aceh, how many battles have we won in a row, I believe that with a rest, Duke Aceh will continue to lead us to victory. ”
When the Duke of Aceh heard Joseph's praise, he also said complacently: "Joseph is right, it's not a big deal to rest for a few more days." ”
Although Joseph was honest and loyal, he grew up with the Duke of Aceh since he was a child, and Joseph, who fought with him in the north and south, still knew how to better make Aceh accept advice.
Although the Duke of Aceh is not a mediocre person, and he has won many battles, this person is a good face. Therefore, even if you want to admonish, you must come along and give him the stairs. Straightforward advice like Eve and Lance would be counterproductive.
However, Count Gavin smiled coldly at this time and said, "Marquis Joseph, do you really think that it is because of the wise leadership of the Duke of Aceh that you won the victory?"
As soon as Joseph heard this, he heard the smell of gunpowder in Count Gavin's words, and he also said with a solemn face: "Why, Count Gavin, I have played with Aceh since I was a child, do you think I will doubt my small hair?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the Duke of Aceh hurriedly stopped Joseph and said, "Hey, Joseph, dissipate your anger, isn't this a military discussion? You don't need to get angry." Gavin, you too, the person I believe most in this world is Joseph, and you are really going too far to say that. ”
Count Gavin said disdainfully: "Lord Duke, I am afraid that Marquis Joseph will be ashamed of this trust in you. ”
"Gavin, you are so bold!" said the furious Joseph, who wanted to rush over and beat Count Gavin, but was stopped by the Duke of Aceh.
The Duke of Aceh hurriedly persuaded: "Joseph, calm down, calm down, Gavin, what are you talking about, Joseph is the Marquis! The whole duchy is only with me and Eve, and you still don't apologize to Joseph!"
"Apologize, Lord Duke, believe me, I am the most loyal one to you. Joseph doesn't believe you at all. ”
The Duke of Aceh was also annoyed: "Gavin! You'd better not talk nonsense! Otherwise, even if you are Count Clay, I won't be able to spare you." ”
"How can I talk nonsense, my lord, I have always been your most faithful servant. And this Marquis Joseph, I think he is inseparable from you, I don't believe you. Gavin said and handed the letter to the Duke of Aceh:
"This is a letter from Lance to the Marquis of Joseph!"
When Joseph heard this, his face was still extremely surprised, and he angrily rebuked: "Gavin! What kind of bullshit are you! Who gave you the power! How dare you open and read my private letters!"
"Joseph, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, are you still afraid that I will peek? Gavin quibbled:
"Duke of Aceh, it is clear that we are marching so slowly, and we are still circling around here, it is behind the scenes of that hated cowardice Lance. He also said not to reveal the life of that Lance. This is obviously an attempt to cover up, form a party for personal gain, and win over factions!"
"Gavin, you son of a bitch! You have opened the personal letters of one of my dignified marquises, and you have a reason. Believe it or not, Lao Tzu is chopping you up now and feeding the dogs!"
So saying, Joseph drew his sword and slashed at Count Gavin. The Duke of Aceh hurriedly stopped the angry Joseph and said, "Joseph, are you crazy?"
When Count Gavin saw this, he hurriedly ran away, hid behind the curtain of the military tent, stretched out his head, and said, "Joseph! You are a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry! You dare to draw a sword in front of the Duke of Aceh! I think you have long since stopped taking the Duke of Aceh in your eyes." Duke of Aceh, I'm afraid that if this continues, sooner or later, the Marquis of Joseph will collude with a despicable villain like Lance, and learn from Samuel, Duke of Eagle Hill, who rebelled against independence!"
"I'm rebellious, you say I'm rebellious, hehe!" Joseph laughed and took Aceh's hand and said, "Aceh, do you hear?" ”
As he spoke, Joseph pulled open his clothes, only to see that Joseph's chest had countless scars, densely packed, like a badminton racket, and as if he was holding a red-hot wire wrapped around his chest.
Joseph showed Gavin and said: "When Kaos, the god of chaos, caught me and personally tortured me to extract a confession, every inch of my skin was tortured by him like this, and I did not betray Aceh." Do you think you're going to betray Aceh now?"
Gavin disdainfully quibbled: "If you want me to say, on the contrary, it is precisely because of your merits that you are disrespectful to the old and proud of your merits, and you have always used these merits to morally 'kidnap' the Duke." It's like that hateful Lance, who only made a small contribution, and then thought of himself and questioned the Duke!"
Joseph scolded: "Bullshit, Gavin, you ungrateful and shameless man, don't you forget, whose city did Lance save with his army? And what are you doing, Count Clay, when we are desperately defending Clay City? You will only hide in your castle and drink to drown your sorrows. I'll tell you today, Gavin, you're in the military, you don't have a say at all!"
Count Gavin held up the letter and said, "Duke of Aceh, I have physical evidence! Think about it, if their purpose is above board, can they still use this kind of private message to make a small move?"
"Who is doing a small move? You are opening other people's letters without permission, it is a small action. ”
"Enough!" the Duke of Aceh scolded. He was silent for a moment, then said, "Gavin, I have always believed in Joseph, and whatever he does, he is in a good position to be good to me. His loyalty has been verified by the baptism of blood and war. Even if you carry that kid from Lance to testify, I won't doubt Joseph's loyalty. You still don't apologize to Joseph?"
"But!"
"Huh?"
The Duke of Aceh glared at Count Gavin, and Count Gavin had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, Marquis Joseph, please forgive me." ”
Joseph sneered: "Forgive me, I will never forget the fact that you opened my letter privately." Gavin, from today onwards, I won't have any more contact with you!"
Count Gavin did not pay attention to Joseph, he just said to the Duke of Aceh: "Lord Duke, I would like to ask you to think twice. If you think about it, it's scary to think about it!"
"Alright, don't talk about Gavin. The Duke of Aceh dragged his tired voice and said, "Pass my order, everyone will go tomorrow and continue south!"
When Joseph heard this, he hurriedly said, "Aceh, didn't you say that the cavalry should rest in Heathvoy?"
The Duke of Aceh said coldly: "This is also what Lance taught you? Joseph, although I do not doubt your loyalty, I see that you are indeed old, and you can no longer walk, and you are beginning to be timid. In this case, you can take your headquarters to rest here. You don't have to come with us, when we come back in triumph, you just need to prepare the celebration feast. ”
With that, the Duke of Aceh threw up his sleeves and went out.
"Aceh, Aceh!" no matter how Joseph called, the Duke of Aceh left without looking back.
Gavin sneered: "Joseph, don't be self-righteous, be careful of the high merit and the misfortune of yourself, haha!"
