"Quiet!!quiet !!"

Salvador slammed the table in front of him with great force, but there still didn't seem to be many people in the tent who had stopped making noise. This is the sixth meeting in three days.

At this moment, there were forty-four representatives from different military regions present in the tent, some of whom were personally present by the governors of the military districts, and some of whom were generals of the army sent in. More than forty powerful men crowded into such a place, and the whole tent seemed to be turned into a vegetable market, filled with complaints and noisy voices in various accents.

In the past three days of six meetings, as the current speaker of the Red Round Table, El Salvador has more and more felt a chilling taste in his heart: out of control!

Yes, he felt like he was losing control of the organization. He was once the Speaker of the House and one of the most powerful warlords in the entire Red Round Table Alliance, he had a strong group of supporters and allies, and his clique was the most powerful in this organization, and it was with these forces that he was able to sit in the position of Speaker and become the leader of the Red Round Table.

But now, or rather, these days, El Salvador is powerless to watch as the organization is crumbling step by step!

The news of the landing of the Landis came six days ago, in the port of Catania in the south, the third largest trading port in the empire, a full fleet of Landis royal fleet has occupied the port, more than a corps of Landis's army has landed, with almost overwhelming power at sea, this Landis's dispatch army only took less than half a day to complete a beautiful landing operation, the 1,000 troops stationed in the port of Catania could not effectively prevent the landing of the Landis by relying on the towers on the coast and a small number of crossbows, after the loss of the harbor, the defenders of Catania announced their surrender within an hourto give up the entire city.

The Landis got Catania, an important seaport in the southern part of the Empire! This central point with excellent transportation around the city! Along with the city, the Landis fell into the hands of the Landis, as well as a large number of ordnance and supplies stored in the warehouse docks of Catania City that were originally intended to be transported by sea to the front line of Osgilia, including food that could sustain 30,000 troops for a month!

In the note, Lantis officially issued a credential affirming the status of the Byzantine royal family in the Byzantine Empire in a morally charged tone, while strongly condemning the treason of the Red Round Table group led by Salvador and Hughes. The letter, signed by King Lantis, demanded that "the rebels led by the Red Round Table immediately cease their treason against the Byzantine Empire, that they withdraw their troops from Osgilia at once, that the ministries return to their garrisons, and that the army must unconditionally accept the reorganization of the Byzantine royal family," that some military threats against Osgilia be stopped, and that all previous proclamations be abandoned. Such wording made Salvador so angry that he almost vomited blood that day!

Because just the day before receiving this official letter from Landis, he had two more talks with the Lantis envoy, and the envoy even patted his chest and assured him that as long as the Red Round Table could show enough sincerity, the Lantis Kingdom would firmly "support its friends"! But apparently, in the end, the Lantis Kingdom chose the Byzantine royal family to fly as its "friends."

This is a naked deception! A naked betrayal! Because even during the previous lengthy negotiations, the secret envoy pretended to represent the Kingdom of Landis with a long list of conditions, which made Salvador and his supporters waste too much time to analyze and discuss. But as a result, the warships of the Landis Kingdom have come to the bottom of their eyelids!

Although only a seaport city such as Catania was captured, and although only 30,000 Landis troops landed, it could not pose much threat to the rebel alliance for the time being...... However, El Salvador is very aware of the strong naval transportation power of the Landis! The Byzantine Kingdom has a long coastline, and with the maritime transportation power of the Landis Kingdom, it can quickly transport one regiment after another to any landing point at will! The Landis people have joined the war and have joined the war as hostiles. Immediately after Salvador's anger, a trace of regret came.

Before the start of the war, the woman from the Besta Military Region had written to herself, strongly suggesting that it was imperative to reach an agreement with the Landis at all costs, and even make huge concessions if necessary, to win the Landis to her side.

It's a pity that because he had already received the promise of the Odins at that time, after his confidence was inflated, he ignored that suggestion. Now that he thinks about it, Salvador is so angry that he almost wants to slap himself.

The Odin people have already committed an act of betrayal, although they did not issue any notes or letters of state like the Landis, but the Odin people did not hesitate to directly annex a military region, after such an act, it is impossible for the Odin people to continue to exist as their allies. And the entry of the Landis into the war...... However, this is not the most fatal blow.

On the third day of the landing, the most fatal blow that Salvador did unexpectedly came from the woman who had been neglected by him, the Governor's Wife of the Besta Military Region!

The Besta Military District announced its withdrawal from the Red Round Table! And it did so openly in a way that spread the word to the world! That announcement obviously came from the hands of that woman!

“...... We strongly condemn the Speaker of the El Salvador Parliament and other leaders of the Round Table, who have committed so many acts of rebellion driven by private interests, and who have done a lot to deceive their allies for the sake of their own interests. However, a group of careerists led by El Salvador not only hurt the country in order to seize power, but also made many members become their pawns by deception...... The Besta Military Region announced its complete withdrawal from the Red Round Table group, and at the same time called on other friends who were deceived by El Salvador and others and tied to the chariot to know that they had lost their way!

If this announcement didn't make Ben Yiwado angry, then the next rumor was a stab in his heart!

A rumor soon spread among the many members: the leaders of the Red Round Table led by El Salvador did not provide assistance and support to the government-in-exile of the Corsican Military District, which was attacked by the Odins, in accordance with the spirit of the alliance, on the contrary, in order to curry favor with the damned Odin, they actually instigated the Besta Military District to take in the Corsican government-in-exile and harmed the remnants of the Corsican Military District!! On the Besta side, the Governor's wife finally had a heart of kindness, and finally put down the butcher's knife at the last moment, and let the Corsicans live! At the same time, Besta was also chilled by the cruelty shown by the leaders of the alliance towards our allies, which was the real reason for the withdrawal of the Besta Military District.

And the reason why this rumor has spread and won the trust of many people is precisely because of the rumor that the wife of the governor of the Besta Military Region is even willing to personally testify that Salvador had instigated her to kill the prince of Gaia of Corsica, and has a secret letter written by Salvador himself! El Salvador's prestige in the alliance fell to its lowest point in just two days!

First of all, the governors of the military districts in the north, many people openly expressed their distrust of the alliance, especially the leaders led by El Salvador!

When the Corsicans suffered a miserable fate, El Salvador did not hesitate to betray them, so what if this happened to me?

In addition to this, even many people who supported El Salvador before began to reverse the line. The reason is very simple: this matter is really disgraceful! At any time, it is intolerable to make such a poisonous hand against an internal member who has fallen into trouble! Even if this decision was not made by El Salvador alone!

But...... Now that all the fingers are pointed at El Salvador, and it seems that the speaker is obviously going to be finished, is this time ......

Many people, even former El Salvadoran comrades, can't wait to jump out and draw a line with El Salvador.

To Salvador's annoyance, many of these guys who jumped out to draw a line with themselves were once his henchmen, and the idea of getting rid of the Corsican government-in-exile was somewhat due to these guys. And now, it seems that he has become the best scapegoat and the person who bears the blame for this matter.

Everyone knows that the fall of El Salvador is only a matter of time, and that he can no longer hold the position of Speaker, and after losing the position of Speaker of the Parliament because he can no longer lead this coalition, El Salvador is not qualified to continue to be the leader of his small group, which is a chain reaction.

Therefore, in order to discuss a countermeasure to the entry of the Landis into the war, and at the same time to respond to the betrayal of the Besta Military District, which has announced its withdrawal from the Alliance, in order to discuss a countermeasure to deal with the entry of the Landis into the war...... Late six meetings, almost every time, turned into an endless internal quarrel and blame-shifting and name-calling. Some people complained about why the Salvadoran chief did not do a good job of liaising with Lantis

Some people complain that forming an alliance with the Odin is simply a foolish act, and now the betrayal of the Odin is the best proof of this. Some people complained that the league had too much trust in the Besta people before. Some complained about the shortage of supplies that their army should have been allocated. Some people complain that their defense zone is too far forward and takes on too much responsibility. Some people believe that negotiations with the Landis should continue.

Others believe that Landis's 30,000 troops are not worth worrying about, and that they should concentrate on the Besta Military Region to prevent this betrayal from happening again.

Others insisted that efforts should be concentrated on the conquest of Osgilia before the onset of winter, and once Osgilia had been conquered and the Byzantine royal family had been eliminated, neither the Rantians nor the Besta Military Region would be a problem.

In short, all kinds of arguments filled the meeting, everyone is a hero, holding military power, you don't obey me, I don't obey you. In the past, El Salvador, as the Speaker, could have used his prestige and extensive connections in the alliance to mediate and integrate the alliance into a whole. But now...... Instead, he became the object of everyone's attention.

Salvador slapped the table so hard that his slap hurt, and the noise below still didn't stop at all. If it had been in the past, as long as he Salvador coughed heavily and swept it with a majestic look, these guys would have shut up......! The only thing he got from slapping the table was a few unfriendly glances thrown around him. (This alliance is over.) Salvador lamented in his heart. "I suggest that we must immediately re-elect the Speaker! A true leader can lead the body to make a united decision! I initiate the impeachment of Mr. Salvador! Suddenly a voice rang out in the crowd, drowning out the voices of the others. This proposal was immediately endorsed by many people, and many military regions reconsidered it one after another.

Salvatore sneered and looked at the guy who spoke first, who was originally a supporter of his own, and betrayed him yesterday.

He can fully understand the mentality of these betrayers, after betraying themselves, these betrayers want to defeat themselves as quickly and completely as quickly as possible! Because these betrayers are more afraid of their own revenge than others, so once they betray themselves, they will become those enemies who want to die the most!

Salvador sighed in his heart in the face of the crowd below, and he slapped the table hard again, puffing up his breath and shouting, "Quiet!!!" This time, finally the crowd was a little quieter.

"I know you all want me to remove my ass from this chair now!" Salvatore exclaimed, in a mocking tone, "But I want to warn you, gentlemen, that these are extraordinary times! We have not been able to conquer Osgilia in the course of several months, with a tenfold superiority in force! These things are piled up before our eyes, and each one of them is far more important than the election of a new speaker! If we fail to concentrate our attention on the most important things, and to pursue these minor things, and to compete for these small gains, then sooner or later we will be destroyed by our enemies!"

El Salvador's puffed up words made many people really quiet, and it seemed that for a while, some people were shaken. But soon......

"Yes, Lord Salvador, it seems that we don't have to wait for the enemy to destroy us, we will be destroyed by you first! On this question, we can ask the Prince of Gaia of Corsica? Or should we ask the allies with whom you personally contacted the Odin?! Don't shirk your responsibility! Salvador, it is you who caused all this! You cannot continue to steer this big ship, a new helmsman, in order to steer this ship in the right direction!"

Salvador shook his body, and he looked up to see that the one who said a few lucky words was one of his confidant supporters before. But now, this guy is staring at him with a look full of viciousness! Salvador knows in his heart: this guy has contacted some of the members of his former clique, and they have reached an agreement to put him in the position of Speaker...... Hmph, ridiculous......

"I can move my ass!" Salvador took a deep breath, and suddenly stood up straight, straightened his spine, glared at the guy fiercely, and said coldly, "I don't need your reminder! This ship needs a new captain, but you, dear Sammy, I don't think you're qualified to come and I blame these things!Oh, let me think about it, I seem to have left some interesting letters with your signature on them...... Oh yes, yes, if you don't want me to take those things out now, just shut your mouth and put your little wretched wisdom down on business!"

"But Salvador, I think he's right. The governor of one of the military districts spoke loudly: "Even if we have to deal with the Odinians, we have to deal with the Landis, we have to continue to attack Osgilia...... But to do all these things, you have to have a leader! But obviously, this person can't be you! Salvador, let me make it clear, I don't trust you! My military district is in the north, less than six hundred miles from the Corsican military district!" This guy is a northern-governor general, and his opening immediately provoked more voices from the northern military districts.

Salvador's old face was full of gloom, and he still tried to stand up straight, but his hands were supporting the table, but he was already trembling slightly. It was at this time...... Bang! The door was kicked open!

Immediately a beautiful leather boot came in, permed with no wrinkled breeches, a straight uniform, shiny ribbons and medals, and meticulously combed hair. Hughes, the Governor of Armenia, suddenly walked into the venue.

The appearance of the "noble governor" was in keeping with his usual style, and he did not dress like he had come to a military meeting at all, but more like he was going to a banquet. When he walked in, he even covered his nose with a snow-white handkerchief. "Gentlemen—!" Hughes exhaled in a long voice, and immediately silenced the audience.

He walked to the table in high spirits, then walked around the table and stood in front of Salvador. Hughes held his head high, then glanced at Salvador faintly. Salvatore smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew very well that Hughes would not let go of such an opportunity.

All along, Hughes has been competing with himself for leadership within the Red Roundtable coalition. In the past few days, he had sent someone to invite him to attend, but Hughes never showed up. In fact...... The Hughes governor had not attended a single military meeting for many days. The calculation of time began with that "terrible night"!

On the night of the raid of the entire Rhodrian cavalry, the Armenian army of Governor Hughes suffered huge losses, the cavalry was almost completely lost, the infantry suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the two corps was defeated by the Rhodrian cavalry. The Armenian army is badly damaged!

Everyone knows that in this world, having soldiers in hand is king, and after the heavy losses of the army, Hughes's position in the alliance is also threatened, at least, for the time being, he no longer has a position that poses a threat to El Salvador. After losing more than half of his army, Hughes is no longer eligible to continue competing with El Salvador for the position of the first chain

Since then, the arrogant Hughes has never attended a military meeting, and each time he has sent his generals to meet the scene. He even returned to the city of Merika of the Armenian Military District to recuperate for half a month.

So, at this meeting, Salvador didn't think this guy would show up, but he did! Obviously...... This guy is here to fall into the well! Salvatore sighed in his heart.

That's it...... At the very least, it would be much more glorious for this guy to make the last knife than to be bitten to death by those despicable little characters. If his position is snatched by him, it can be regarded as his own decent resignation...... He tried to look at Hughes with a fixed look, usually his biggest political enemy.

Just as Salvador looked at Hughes with such almost tragic eyes, the "noble governor" suddenly smiled. Hughes smiled as if he was sly.

Then he turned, took a step aside, and sat down in a seat of his own in a seat below Salvador's left.

"Gentlemen, didn't you say that something important was to be discussed?, why did I come in not a group of noble governors and future kings, but a group of bereaved dogs that seemed to be a little frightened and uneasy?" Hughes sneered, and said lightly in a deliberately nonchalant tone, "Well, let's pay more attention to some important things, for the spirit of unity is the most important thing in the face of the great enemy." Oh yes, Lord El Salvador, please go ahead and preside over the meeting.

As he spoke, Hughes closed his mouth and looked like he was ready to listen. As Hughes finished speaking, many of the representatives of the military regions below seemed to be a little caught off guard.

Then, under the eyes of Hughes, many people closed their mouths, quietly turned around and sat back in their seats. These people are all representatives of those military districts that originally supported Hughes

With such a powerful figure as Hughes, the scene suddenly returned to order.

In the following meeting, El Salvador continued to preside over as Speaker, and although there were still some objections, every proposal put forward by El Salvador was fully supported by Hughes! This meeting lasted for an hour, but the effect was even better than the previous five meetings combined!

By the end of the meeting, everyone had left, but Hughes remained unmoved, still sitting in his seat. Salvatore waited quietly for everyone else to leave before he walked up to Hughes. "Why?"

Faced with this question, Hughes raised his eyelids and glanced at Salvador, then smiled: "I don't think a gentleman who has served the League for twenty years should not be treated like this. ”

Salvatore smiled: "Okay, you and I both know that we are not good people one by one, Hughes, I have thought of many possibilities, but none of them are prep to the point where you will stand up and support me." Even you and I are well aware that after all these years, now is the best time for you to take me down. ”

Hughes smiled, he stood up, turned and walked to the door, his boots making a thudding sound, and the footsteps did not stop until the doorway.

The guy turned around and looked at Salvador, his gaze blazing: "I'm happy to replace you as the leader of this alliance...... But only if the alliance continues to exist. I don't want to end up with you, El Salvador. And I'm sure that if you and I were in a different position, you would have done the same thing I did today - because in this group there are too many fools and too few smart people...... With that, he strode out the door. ））$

Char lived in the city of Haske for half a month. The governor's wife invited him to lunch almost every day, and sometimes in the afternoon they went hunting or hiking outside the city.

And then, in the evenings, he would go to the tavern with General Lear, the nephew of the governor's wife, and play the organ and indulge in a drink with a group of officers, and when he was of a high nature, he would make a few small bets.

It's so comforting to live like this. So comfortable that Char almost forgot the time, at least on the surface, he was.

Finally, at noon that day, after having lunch with Mrs. 7$l, Char returned to his residence, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure standing there waiting.

A delicate and handsome face, a cynical smile, and a somewhat mocking look at the corners of his mouth. The uniform was crumpled and the neckline was crooked.

Dax stood there and appeared in front of Char in a very "Dax-esque" signature look.

Char sighed, he looked at this guy and said with a wry smile: "There are so many candidates, they just (8 stiff sent you?)

"Stop complaining, my boss. Dax sighed, "Everyone else is busy, and whoever made me free to be sent to do this drudgery." Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes at Char: "When I received your handwritten letter from someone from the Besta Military Region, Green was so angry that he flipped the table. Oh yes, before I came, Green said, when I see you, I must help him slap you a few times, you guy. His exact words were: You have been our boss for less than half a year, and you have been playing and disappearing for three months. ”
