Ruhl's proposal is as if pointing to a new path.

Lantian ......

However, to the embarrassment of the upper and lower levels of the imperial capital, Landis's assistance to the Byzantine Empire seems to have gradually declined in recent times.

It's easy to understand.

The Lantis were involved in this civil war in the Pole Chamber, and the purpose was nothing more than to reap the advantage of a sufficient advantage, "This maritime kingdom is trying to seek the interests of the mainland, and sell them an important step in the right to intervene in the mainland."

Previously, the Byzantine Empire signed a series of compromise treaties in exchange for the support of the Landis, whether it was assistance from the sea, or the direct landing of the Landis troops in Osgilia, "to help the Empire repel the army of the warlord party, and to relieve the destruction of the city of Osgilia, all of which was based on the fact that the Landis must receive sufficient benefits" and the expected guarantee of these benefits!

But now, it seems that in the eyes of the Lantiles, the situation of the Byzantine Empire seems to be quite worse than it was a few months ago.

This is also understandable.

A few months ago, everyone thought that the authority of the central government of the empire had weakened to the lowest point in history, but no one thought that "this is not the bottom at all!" Today, a few months later, people have to sigh." The weakening of the central government of the empire has reached an astonishing point: the rebellion of the last control of the territory in the south, the Duke of Minas led his army south, and the direct confrontation with the central government of the empire, the mutiny of Adric's imperial capital, and so on, the authority of the Byzantine Empire seems to have been shaken by the storm, and it is almost the last breath.

At this time, it is no wonder that the enthusiasm of the Landis has waned: seeing that the Byzantine Empire has become like this, "maybe the fortunes of this country will end completely" one day, the Landis began to hesitate and began to be cautious.

Even if the Byzantine Empire is willing to cede more benefits, "the premise must be that the empire must continue to exist!" Even if the Byzantine Empire is now willing to cede a few counties of land to the Landisians, the Landis people must think carefully: if the empire dies, this kind of treaty is equivalent to a piece of waste paper, and there is no half value.

At this time, "the aristocratic and wealthy families up and down the imperial capital, all kinds of bigwigs began to wait and see the news, looking for new bettors, trying to change the ship......

The Landis are no exception.

They may have come to feel that it might not be a smart move to continue to support the Byzantine banquet, and that it would be wiser to choose other supporters on the mainland instead.

The Duke of Minas in the south, who was "prestigious, well-connected", had a deep foundation, and had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and controlled several southern counties, as well as the support of a large number of traditional aristocratic forces in the empire, was a good candidate to support.

For another example, the garrison general named Char Leiming in the north, "Duke Noz", is also a good candidate. After all, the former ace of the intelligence agency of the Rantis Kingdom, the former ace of the Rantis Kingdom, is now working under Char Thundering, and the Garros Chamber of Commerce, the intelligence organization lurking on the continent of the Rantis Kingdom, also has a lot of interests with Char Thundering's small group.

For another example, Adric, the imperial capital, has merit, prestige, and an army, and occupies the imperial capital of Osgilia, the first male city on the mainland, "and also holds the Byzantine emperor in his hands, and he is also a good candidate."

However, based on Adrick's character, "Landis people are afraid that it will be difficult to hit him, although it is a smart way to coerce the princes of heaven, but Adrick obviously lacks the ambition of a powerful minister."

All in all, who would really take that burial royal family in their eyes now?

Those who know a little more have already seen it clearly: with the Duke of Minas's cunning resurgence, he returned to military power and went south to take the last foundation of the empire, and Adric in the imperial capital was forced to mutiny, taking the supreme power...... The Byzantine royal family was dead in name, the imperial family no longer had the slightest power, and what remained was "only a nominal supremacy."

The current attitude of the Lantis people is actually somewhat ambiguous.

They intervened at the beginning of the war, and the time of intervention can be said to be very smart, Landis's invincible navy easily broke the coastal defense of the Byzantine Empire and landed in the port of Catania of the empire, and then the Landis army landed, quickly centering on several port cities and occupying a considerable territory.

However, it is quite ironic that the Kingdom of Landis entered the war in the name of supporting the Byzantine royal family, but in fact, after Landis's army landed, the few port cities and several territories occupied were actually areas controlled by the central government of the empire before the war.

Subsequently, the Lantis navy rescued Osgilia, captured the port area, and repelled the city-breaking army of the warlord party, but after recovering the imperial capital, the army deliberately stayed in the emperor for a long time, causing great tension to the Byzantines!

This ally is not a real friend, but a wolf that can bite at any time.

But the imperial capital still needs to rely on the constant assistance of the Landis at sea, so many times, they can only pinch their noses and endure it.

Now, it seems that the honeymoon period of cooperation between the empire and the Kingdom of Landis has passed, and Landis's assistance has gradually decreased, and his attitude has become more and more indifferent.

At this time, is it a good idea to ask the Landisians......

However, Ruhl's approach is tempting.

It is much safer to go by sea than by land, and the advantage of the Landis at sea is overwhelming. Go out to sea from the imperial capital, take a sea boat, go all the way northwest along the coastline, then land at the port of Catania, and then go north "Although there are also a few days to pass through the border of the two warlord military districts, but the distance is much shorter, as long as you are careful" You can enter the territory of the Besta people in three or five days, and Besta is now considered to have surrendered to the central part of the empire, so it is considered safe.

After intense discussions, the upper echelons of the imperial capital soon asked the foreign secretary to make a request like the Lantis.

Ruhl, on the other hand, was sure that "the Landis would not refuse."

The fat man is so sure, naturally he has his own reasons.

By the way, in the list of two hundred and ninety-six officials, although Adric did not install his own people, Ruhr did install a few.

The people who installed them "are former teachers of the Imperial Capital Military Academy, and they are also Ruhr's cronies and friends.

While the others were still nervously waiting for the Lantis to reply, Ruhl had already secretly explained to the people he had planted: Hurry up and prepare to go to sea!

Sure enough, the fat man's judgment was correct!

The Lantis reacted a little slowly, but after a few days, they replied and agreed to the Byzantine request.

The Landis even sent four escort ships in addition to the two large transport ships along the way, promising that "when the men have landed in the port of Catania, two thousand Landis troops will escort them along the way to the Besta Military Region."

The people of Lantis helped and cooperated so much, and the imperial capital was suddenly surprised.

And only the fat man just sneered and said nothing.

"It seems that the Landis really bet on Char's kid. With the help of the Landis, a fleet of two large Lantis transports and four warships loaded with two hundred and ninety-six officials of the Empire, as well as their attendants, soon left the imperial capital of Ostiglia and landed in the port of Catania a few days later.

The governor of the Kingdom of Lantis in the port of Catania warmly received the hundreds of officials of the empire and held a feast.

But to the embarrassment of the Imperial officials, the Landis behaved as if they were hospitable hosts, but the more enthusiastic the Landis, the more embarrassed the Imperial officials became.

Because, they are simply standing on the territory of their own country!

Standing on one's own land" but being treated as a guest is really difficult to describe.

The Landis kept their promise, and after receiving a warm welcome, the two thousand Landis Army escorted the procession north, passing along the border of the two small military districts of the warlord party, "The other party did not seem to be interested in looking for trouble, but just guarded the checkpoint and watched this team cross."

When the group finally arrived at the Subbesta Military Region, "everyone's hearts were finally relieved." Gas.

Everyone knows that "after the Besta Military Region, it is the territory controlled by the general of the northern garrison!"

Compared to the hospitality they received from the Landis, here at the Besta the Imperial officials were given a cold reception.

The legendary and beautiful wife of the governor did not even show up in front of her, but after arranging for everyone to stay, she casually sent a few low-level officials to receive them, with no good wine and food, no dinner hospitality, and even a few servants and waiters in the place where they lived.

The Besta Military District showed a very indifferent attitude.

This kind of treatment makes many officials feel indignant!

In terms of rank, quite a few of them are high-ranking officials at the county guard level, and even in the face of the governor's wife, they are still on an equal footing! The Besta people actually ignored the question, "Only sent a small official the size of a sesame seed to receive them?!"

This is also too bullying!!

However, one detail that is not known is that in fact, the beautiful Governor's wife, Monica, had told such a joke to her cronies in private when the team first entered the country.

"These people are the central officials of the empire who went to serve in Char's territory in the north? Ha! Why don't we send someone to kill all these guys directly?"

I believe that if this joke reaches the ears of those disgruntled officials, they are afraid that they will not be so angry.

The officials, who didn't know that they were actually circling around the Ghost Gate, soon set off for the north again.

The Besta sent only one battalion of soldiers to escort them all the way, expecting to say that it was an escort, but rather an escort to keep watch.

When the team reached the border of the Bestas, the Bestas immediately turned around and left, leaving the men on the border.

Finally arrived in the north! Finally arrived at the place where he took office! Finally arrived at the territory of the first powerful man in the north!!

Just when most people are immersed in excitement, with all kinds of apprehension and nervousness, thinking about the future......

The people sent by the garrison to greet the officials have finally arrived.

What dumbfounded everyone was ...... , the team sent by the Northern Garrison is simply more shabby than the team escorted by the Bestas!

The Besta people, though indifferent, sent at least one battalion of men and at least provided enough horses and carriages.

And the people sent by the Northern Garrison to greet the slanderous officials......

Ten people!!

One of the young men "was wearing an officer's uniform in the imperial ** team, but at first glance he was in charge of logistics."

The other soldiers around him also looked lazy.

The young officer, under the gaze of hundreds of officials, finally put away the playful smile on his face, coughed a few times, and made a serious appearance.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is Yronte, the adjutant of the transfer division of the General Logistics Administration of the Northern Garrison. Young Yronte tried his best to make a serious appearance, but there was not much majesty in those bony eyes.

For Yronte, seeing so many high-ranking officials of the empire at once was something that he had never dared to think of before.

You know, Irente was born as an authentic farmer and a lazy man, and later "followed Char by chance and became Char's servant." But in his bones, "this guy is still a peasant-like cunning little person."

Seeing so many big officials who couldn't think of it before, and these guys were all looking at him pitifully one by one, made Yronte feel a little proud.

But soon," he remembered his duty, and after coughing a few times, he said loudly, "I have come to greet you on the orders of the garrison headquarters," please come with me, and I will accompany you all the way to New Town, the capital of Siltan County." ”

As he spoke, Yront pointed to the far side of the road and made a "Please get on the road" gesture.

“............ Everyone was stunned!!

Soon, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"Why did you send a small battalion deputy to meet us!!"

"Yes, Lord Ben is the Archon!"

"I'm the deputy county guard!!"

"It's too much! It's just a few people! Does the garrison look down on us?!"

Elente's face did not change" and still maintained a polite smile: "I'm sorry, my lords, because the garrison headquarters has been too busy these days and is short of manpower, so only despicable people have been sent to ......", "But what about our salute!"

"Yes, just a few of you, where can you move so many salutes!"

"That's it, even if you don't have a lot of people, at least you should be ready for carriages and horses!!"

"It's so far from here to the new town of Siltanshire" Why don't we walk all the way there?!"

Irente listened to the crowd's shouting, "A smile of pity appeared on her face, and then she sighed deliberately. Qi: "Ladies and gentlemen," I understand your feelings...... But I'm sorry, at present, the garrison is temporarily short of supplies, as we all know, we have just fought a war, and after the war, everything is in ruins." Most of the chariots and horses had already been sent out to various places for post-war recovery.

After a pause, Yronte continued to smile and said: "But please rest assured, you will not really walk to the new city, from here on, you can reach a small city before dark today" Where we have prepared a transfer station, where have prepared some carriages for everyone to ride, but the number is not enough, and it is still being mobilized, so everyone may have to walk there first, and then ride north in batches. ”

After a moment of silence, some officials couldn't help but protest: "But what about our salute?"

A lot of people are also shouting.

Indeed, everyone has taken office thousands of miles, so naturally they have brought a lot of belongings. You must know that "after being able to get this rare official position after going up and down the imperial capital", none of these people present are poor. Among the belongings of the courtesy, there are quite a few things such as money and soft goods. After all, there are always some aspects that need to be dealt with "after taking office".

Yronte smiled sincerely: "We have already thought of this problem, please just go on the road, everyone's salute will stay here for the time being, we will send someone to watch it closely, and then wait for the subsequent deployment of the transport convoy to arrive, and then transport all the salutes over." ”

Well, it seems like there is no choice.

Although there are some worries about the safety of these salute belongings lost here, everyone thinks about it, a huge northern garrison, such a big northern strongman, will never be greedy for their own belongings.

Besides, the officer named Yront seemed to smile very sincerely, and he also sent people over to register them one by one, and marked and listed all the gifts and belongings that the adults had carried.

It looks very detailed.

The doubts of the crowd gradually faded.

Immediately, the large army reluctantly continued on the road, and the group walked north.

The Irente officer "only sent a few soldiers to lead the way north," but he and the rest of the soldiers stayed where they were, taking care of the "watch and salute."

However, just as the group of adults disappeared into the distance of the main road, the loyal smile on Irente's face gradually evolved into a hint of cunning.

He looked at the boxes and bags that were piled up in the area, and then laughed, and waved his hand violently: "Get the work! Speed up" Each box was opened, the gold and silver were carefully and softly distinguished, the valuable hard goods were left, and the rags of clothes and other goods were directly piled together and burned!

After a pause, Yronte lowered his face and shouted: "I'll say the ugly thing first, these things must be reported to the public! If anyone swallows their hands and feet uncleanly, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

A soldier grinned, and then asked, "Chief, let's swallow all these officials' things, if they shout......

"I'm afraid of a fart. Elendt pouted: "Lord Char said, this is to give them a dismount, let them understand, come to our territory, in the future, we will be at the mercy of kneading! ”！~！
