Chapter 1165: Arrogant Appearance (Asking for Votes)
Vettels, the general of the Praetorian Guard, received the order of Callion IV, turned around, bowed his head and ran out quickly.
As a high-ranking general who was active in the center of the kingdom's politics and guarded the king, it was absolutely impossible for him to be a simple-minded and reckless man.
Not only does he need to be loyal and capable, but he also needs to have a fairly sharp sense and mind.
After all, the famous saying 'a companion is like a tiger' has been unbreakable for thousands of years. It's not without reason. No matter how kind a king is, it is impossible for him to eat fasting and recite Buddha.
Working beside him has always been a more dangerous occupation for coal mining.
Greeting the boss, his eyes are fixed on his companions, and he must always be on guard against his subordinates, and he can't relax in the slightest. If you are a little careless, you will get into trouble, either you will be cut off by the angry king of Long Yan for the arrogant appearance (asking for votes) in Chapter 1165, or you will be framed and exiled by your colleagues, or you will be stabbed in the back by your subordinates.
Vettels has been in this position for more than a decade, so he knows how powerful it is.
Just when Callion IV gave the order, with a slight nose, you could smell the murderous aura in his words.
If the crown prince dares not to carry out the order to arrest people, he is afraid that what awaits him is the thunderous means of Callion IV - Callion IV has more than one son, and it is only a matter of his words to change the crown prince to be changed.
If the prince is obedient, he will wipe out those people. Naturally, it is completely opposed to the conservative forces in the country.
Grand Elder Burns, Central Fleet Commander Jacquepoli, they are not alone. All represent their respective interest groups.
Burns gathered around dozens of the largest landowners in the kingdom, and controlled one-third of the elders of the Council of Elders.
And Jacquepoli, he is simply a close confidant of the crown prince, a representative of the new generation waiting to succeed him.
Callion IV directly purged the power of the crown prince himself. And it was the prince who did it himself.
In this way, when those subordinates saw that their loyalty was so rewarded, they would inevitably feel chilled by the prince's arrogant appearance (asking for votes) in Chapter 1165, and they would be separated from him.
From now on, no one will help the prince wholeheartedly - everyone comes out to mix, naturally they want to find a boss who can cover themselves, if they can't cover it, this kind of boss has a hairy use?
Vettels sighed in his heart: This trip is not easy~! After passing the order, he had to monitor the prince on his side.
This is a task that could drop your head at any time.
But sadly, I didn't even have a chance to refuse. This is the king giving himself a chance to make amends. Otherwise. Just this time the defense is unfavorable, it is enough to make yourself lose your head~!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be indignant again: judging from this assassination, they were definitely going to kill the king.
If the king dies, he will be the chief of the guard. No matter what, it has to be a dead end in the end. Those dog mongrels didn't leave a way for themselves to live, so why should they think about them?
Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but show a trace of hideousness, and then he quickly walked outside the cabin. Dozens of officers with cronies were ordered, and then jumped onto a nearby clipper.
In his urgency. The clipper quickly turned around and headed in the opposite direction of the fleet. Speeding away, it disappeared into the darkness of the night in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Callion IV slumped in his chair, showing an exhausted expression, and Lorraine Laleo said to Callion IV: "Don't disturb Your Majesty's rest, we take our leave." ”
"Uh, wait a minute. Callion IV struck up and straightened his back to his feet.
He shook Lorraine's hand with sincerity and said, "Earl, my dear earl. I don't thank you for my great kindness, and I won't say anything superfluous.
In the name of the spirit of the ancestors, our elven kingdom and the Lorraine family will always be a family, and the Ruman Empire will always be a brotherly state. ”
The elves have a deep ancestor worship plot, and the oath in the name of the ancestors can be said to be the heaviest oath in the elven kingdom, and it can be seen that Callion IV is indeed sincere.
But the king's personal friendship and national interests were not the same, and Lorraine knew this very well.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Catherine and Leo, two relatives whose blood is thicker than water. But Lei Er Ye evaded taxes, and he was unambiguous. And Nicole has never been soft when it comes to taxes.
Lorraine and Leo walked out of Callion IV's blood-soaked room, by which time the entire fleet had been awakened, drums and trumpets sounded on the sea, and the lights on the battleships were as dense as stars.
The whole fleet formed a defensive circular formation, and the sailors boarded overtime with their weapons, ready for battle, and watched vigilantly around.
But until this moment, they were also confused, not knowing what was going on.
Lorraine and Leo returned to their room, when a group of court attendants entered the room trembling with a dining cart, each pale and frightened.
The first floor of the galley was the squire's cabin, and the Assassins slashed people as they saw them when they entered the galley, and corpses were scattered in the hallway.
All of them had survived, all of them in shock, and had not yet fully recovered from the fear they had just had.
The palace attendants shuddered and put down the fruit on the cart, and then left as fast as they could.
Xiaobai looked at the pile full of fruits, cheered happily, and then plunged his head into a pot of purple-red fruits, munching happily, and splashing juice.
After this battle, Leo was in high spirits and did not have any intention of drowsy at all.
He picked up a fruit from the ground, wiped it on his sleeve, pulled Lorraine to prevent him from leaving, blinked his eyes and said, "Boss, who did what happened tonight? Prince? or a neutral?"
Lorraine sat cross-legged on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just look at the actions of the assassins, it is impossible for them to infiltrate the fleet from the outside, but only hide on one of the fleet's ships in advance.
There will not be too many people who are capable of doing this, there are people in the Navy. And those who want the life of Callion IV are only a few people.
According to my estimates, the most suspicious person is the crown prince.
However, the neutrals could not run away, and the king hung on the way to an alliance. Naturally, this alliance will not end. ”
Leo rubbed his fleshy chin and nodded, "So that stingy old guy didn't get the evidence yet, so he dealt with that guy called Burns." ”
"Evidence?" Lorraine sneered and said, "This kind of thing, suspicion is enough, then evidence is needed." If you really collect evidence, it is estimated that the four corpses of Calion are cold. ”
"But there is no evidence......"
Lorraine glanced at him and said, "Evidence? The corpses of the attendants lying there are the best evidence of this. ”
Leo scratched his head and said in confusion, "But...... In this way, isn't that crown prince a? Callion IV is not afraid that this time it will not work, and that prince will come back again?
He was able to dodge number one. I can't hide from the fifteenth. ”
Lorraine shrugged and said, "Prince...... Even if there was evidence, Callion IV would not have touched the crown prince. First of all, I don't know if this evidence was forged and framed by someone to deliberately frame the prince. Because it's very likely.
Secondly......"
Lorraine smiled and said, "I guess Callion IV also understands the prince's feelings.
He also succeeded to the throne when he was in his fifties, and he dared to say that he didn't mean to kill his father back then. The previous king was said to have been on a woman's belly...... Baba Baba Suddenly Dead in Bed.
This one. You know......
I think Callion IV was more than lifeless. Maybe I'm still happy. ”
Leo shook his head in confusion and said, "Happy?
Lorraine asked rhetorically, "Give you two managers." Will you be promoted to be completely obedient and let you do what you want, or will you promote those who are ambitious and can make some small moves?"
Leo said without thinking: "Of course it's the second type of person, I also talked about how to promote my subordinates in my MBA class once, and those who obediently pour water for you as long as they are ordered to pour water, most of them are mediocre people."
The guy who asked him to pour water secretly spit into the teacup was a mature table, and he could let it out and take charge of himself.
I'd rather be ambitious than mediocre. ”
"A truth. Lorraine yawned and said, "Dare to kill your father, this means that this prince is really qualified." As the leader of a feudal social-imperialist country, it is necessary to have a black heart. ”
Leo patted his thigh and said, "No wonder Callion IV didn't even want to check in the end." Speaking of which, every time I go out to fight and cause trouble, the old man of our family always pretends not to see it, which is the same reason for this. ”
××××××
The morning sun shone through the window on Lorraine's face. Lorraine frowned, opened his eyes and woke up, and suddenly felt that the light in front of him pierced him and couldn't open his eyes.
He put his hand in front of him, then narrowed his eyes and looked around, only to find himself lying on the couch.
I was pulled by Leo to talk last night, and I don't know when I fell asleep.
And Leo didn't know when he rolled off the couch, lying on the ground with his back to the sky and falling asleep, his shy little belly bulging with his breathing.
Xiaobai was lying on one side with his eyes closed, and his nose was still carrying a wooden basin full of fruits, and there were empty basins scattered next to him.
Lorraine sat up and shook her head vigorously. I immediately felt a sore neck, most likely stiff neck.
The lord couldn't help but sigh for a while: It's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. After getting used to the soft velvet bed, I slept on the sofa suddenly, and it was so uncomfortable. You must know that the lord used to be a person who could sleep all night by pulling a mattress on the ground.
He grinned and rubbed his neck vigorously, and at that moment, he suddenly heard a loud military horn outside.
Lorraine pushed open the door and walked out, squinting at the strong light on the deck, and then saw that all the warships were quietly moored around a port.
"Good morning, Earl. "Calion IV came in full spirit, with a ruddy face, a loud voice, and a vigorous walk, and the king's majestic style was so full that he did not at all see the tiredness of the last night in the middle of the night.
"Your Majesty," Lorraine responded, feeling in his heart that being a king is really hard work, no matter how hard it is behind the scenes. And before men, you must pretend to be a king.
Callion IV patted Lorraine on the shoulder enthusiastically, waved his hand and pointed to his warship, and said heroically: "My people are already here." What about your fleet, when will they come out and join us?"
Lorraine smiled slightly, and said firmly: "Please rest assured." They will definitely show up on time. ”
Turning his head, he saw Tritis slowly walking out from behind.
Her face was still pale, not as radiant as before, like a rose that had suddenly wilted, and she walked carefully behind Callion IV, evidently not yet recovering from the fright of the previous night, and her appearance was in stark contrast to Callion IV.
Lorraine sighed in her heart: Sure enough, it was a vase woman.
Miss Tridis's eyes lit up when she suddenly saw Lorraine, and she walked quickly towards Lorraine. After walking a few steps, she seemed to realize her gaffe all of a sudden, the expression on her face changed, and she said sternly: "Thank you to the deputy commander-in-chief for saving her with righteousness." Your coat ...... I'll return it to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief when I'm done. ”
After speaking. Bow prettyly.
Lorraine then remembered that she had not taken her coat back yesterday.
Lorraine waved his hand, just about to say, "Keep it as a souvenir", but suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this statement, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I still have a few more." ”
Tritis suddenly smiled. said: "Then, I'll keep it as a souvenir." ”
After saying that, he turned and walked away, leaving no chance for Lorraine to refuse.
"Is this chick interesting to you?" Leo said faintly, tilting his head to look at Tritis's back.
Lorraine was taken aback. If Leo had passed it back, Catherine and the others would have heard it. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you can't wash it.
Lorraine hurriedly explained: "I'm not interested in flat-chested ones. ”
"That's right~!" Leo nodded affirmatively.
As the clock ticked by, the entire fleet waited for the legendary coalition of peacekeepers.
But on the vast ocean. There was not a shadow of the sailboat, and the elves could not help but whisper.
Callion IV moved out of his throne and sat on the top deck, and in front of all the officers and men of the fleet, he laughed and laughed with Miss Tridis, showing that he was not frightened by the unexpected circumstances of the previous night.
Knowing that it was close to noon, even the elves, who had always been known for their patience, could not bear it, and Callion IV once approached Lorraine and asked with a wry smile: "It seems that your fleet has not yet appeared? It's noon." ”
The implication is that the officers and men of the fleet are hungry.
The horizon is still empty, and even if the coalition of peacekeepers appears on the horizon now, it will take two hours to get over, and it will definitely be late.
Lorraine looked up at the sun and said, "Since the agreement is noon today, then they will definitely appear in front of His Majesty on time at noon." ”
Callion IV smiled slightly, a smile of triumph on his lips.
"Due east, there is a situation~!" the sentry on the lookout roared, and Calion IV quickly took out his goggles and aimed at the horizontal line in the east.
Soon he found a few black spots between the sea and the sky, and Callion IV pursed his lips and said, "It's too late to come here now." ”
"Not necessarily," Lorraine said, clasping her hands to her chest.
"Huh?" Callion IV noticed something strange, the black dots moved very fast, like seabirds.
Calion IV frowned and looked closely, and finally realized that the black dots were not sailing on the surface of the sea, but flying in the air.
It's just that the distance is too far, and there is a visual error.
"War Fortress~!" this thought instantly popped into the mind of Calion IV, and his heart said: Mankind has indeed sent the War Fortress.
As the most powerful weapon in the hands of the peacekeeping forces, there is naturally no reason why the war fortress should not pull a stinky fart.
As the black dot got closer and closer to the elven navy, Callion IV's brow furrowed more and more, and he found that the war fortress that appeared in the sky was not just a few points, but a face.
There were countless fortresses of war, gathered together, black and oppressive like a dark cloud.
It took only a few breaths for this dark cloud of war fortresses to approach the elven fleet, and they emitted a dull humming sound that even drowned out the sound of the waves.
The war fortress is lined up in a neat sword-shaped formation, and as the tip of the sword, it is a pure black pyramid-shaped war fortress, which is the prototype brought back by Lorraine from the demons, and the car of Lester himself.
It was Lorraine's turn to smile triumphantly and say flatly: "Punctuality is the etiquette of a king." ”
Callion IV gasped and blurted out, "How much does this have to be?"
Lorraine stretched out his hands and said, "Probably all the war fortresses of Maple Leaf Danlin have been opened." ”
The war fortresses were clearly in everyone's sight, and they suddenly lowered their altitude as they approached the fleet.
On the leading black prototype, a figure with a white beard stood proudly in front of the door, holding a bright staff in one hand, and carrying it leisurely behind his waist with the other, and his clothes fluttered in the wind, indescribably mighty and domineering.
This is naturally the same as Leo, who does not miss any opportunity to express the forbidden spell of Leo, and at this moment he looks down on the fleet of the Elven Kingdom at his feet like a king.
The fortress of war, under precise control, flew up to the top of the fleet at a height of less than thirty feet from the top of the mast, covering the sky above them.
Lorraine roughly counted them, and there were no less than forty ships in total, and even the air combat instructors were brought in to fill the number.
The prototype slowly came to the top of the flagship Ark Royal, and Lester looked down on Lorraine and Callion IV on deck with a breezy expression.
If you are not familiar with Rest's nature, you will definitely worship the forbidden spell magister at this moment, and you will yearn for it.
Dean Lester has an excellent reputation among the people, and is composed of bravery, fearlessness, and high morality, and is all over the world.
However, Leo called out the essence of Lester in one sentence: "Yo, the bad-hearted old man, you are also here~!"
