"Archon?"

"The Royal Knights, known as the 'Imperial Whip'?"

"Father is actually the original head of the regiment?"

"This ......"

Hodge, who was hiding in a secret door and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, unconsciously opened his mouth wide, he just came over casually to listen, but he didn't expect to hear a super big news.

Who would have thought that the mysterious and legendary chief of the regiment who always wears the golden mask would actually be Bach Dickens, the blue marquis who has repeatedly performed military exploits and has gone from a commoner to a marquis?

Two legends, actually one person?

The deeds of both, taken out separately, are legends.

This legendary chief of the Royal Knights is almost synonymous with the god of war!

In all the wars more than ten years ago, there were almost the figures of the Royal Knights, and almost all of them had the shadow of this mysterious commander.

He fought in all the battles, without defeat, and demonstrated terrifying strategic thinking and excellent leadership.

What's even more terrifying is that this chief head has never shot head-on.

Some people say that he is the embodiment of a god, while others believe that he is just an ordinary person, or an extraordinary person with a low level of sequence.

Mysterious, intelligent and close to demons, gods of war.

These are the words that describe him.

Because of his existence, the Salom Empire became the most powerful empire in the Southern Continent.

"I'm not here." Marquis Bach replied calmly.

"Isn't it here?"

"What a ambition isn't here?"

"Hahaha......" Bernard laughed, clutching his stomach as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "A legendary general? One of the most powerful commanders in the Empire? A god of war in the eyes of the people? ”

"Isn't that here?"

"Lord Marquis, are you saying this thing is funny?"

Marquis Bach looked at Bernard who was laughing, his expression was still calm and unchanged: "The reason why a legend is a legend is because it is difficult to replicate, because of the mystery, once I choose to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and participate in the election of the consul, I will no longer be the legendary corpsman that the empire needs, but a thorn in the side of the empire." ”

"So what?"

"What's that?"

Bernard clenched his fists, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "At that time, as long as you agreed, no one could do anything to you?" You're a hero, you're a hero, and your fame is enough to shut everyone up! ”

"No one can stop you as long as you want to."

"It's not as simple as you think." Marquis Bach shook his head, "Although the consul can be in charge of the affairs of the empire and command the army to fight, after all, he is only an official, and there are kings, three churches and true gods above, even if he becomes an archon, he still has to be at the mercy of others, it is useless." ”

Listening to Marquis Bach's answer, Hodge, who was hiding in the secret door, was also secretly frightened, he thought that his father was strong enough and legendary enough, but he didn't expect him to be even more legendary and powerful than he imagined!

"According to the system of the Salom Empire, the position of consul is equivalent to the ancient prime minister and generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the previous life, and he is in charge of the army and government affairs of the whole country, there are two in total, and they check and balance each other."

"The Salom Empire adopts the model of republican system and dictatorship, the king is above all laws, is the supreme existence, the imperial inheritance, selected from the nobles and royal descendants, officials at all levels have the right to advise, and the right to decide is owned by the king."

"If my father could really become an archon back then, he would indeed be much better than the current marquis who has no real power......"

Hodge secretly thought in his heart that he knew the meaning of the three words of archon in the empire, this was really a position under one person and above ten thousand.

Endless power, a position that eclipses countless nobles.

All counts and marquis must stand aside.

What about the Nine Marquises?

Can it be compared to the Archon?

The military and the government are in charge, grasping it with one hand, and can manage big and small things, and this power is simply boundless.

If the two consuls were in calamity, they would be able to overthrow the king in a matter of minutes and divide the power of the entire empire.

Of course, the empire dares to set the system like this, and the fourth generation has not yet died, it must have its own countermeasures, which is not something that Hodge can understand.

After all, in the age of the supremacy of the monarchy and the true God, even if you become an archon, you may not be able to control everything.

"Huh." Bernald, who was dressed in a military uniform, smiled, his expression was full of mockery, and shook his head: "To be honest, I am disappointed that you still have this idea until now." ”

"I think it's ridiculous to insist on it for so many years."

"Forget it, let's get down to business."

"The topic of reincarnation is over."

"What do you think about the New Gil region?"

"Why do you reject the meaning of the above?"

"You should know the consequences of doing this, with your ability, it is easy to break through the dark mountains and forests, besides, we still have an absolute advantage, you have no reason to refuse."

Marquis Bach looked at Bernard calmly, shook his head, and said, "I choose to refuse this war." ”

"Heh, you're still so stubborn." Bernard snorted lightly, as if he was not too surprised by this result, and then said: "Then I suggest that you better take your family and stay away from the imperial capital, maybe there is still a glimmer of life." ”

"Survival is built by oneself, not by escape." Marquis Bach replied with a slight hint of pointing.

"I hope that in the future, you will be as confident as you are today." Bernard sneered, glanced at the wall on the left, pushed open the door, and walked out.

In the small living room, only Marquis Bach was left.

"Alright, come out."

Marquis Bach sat down on the leather sofa and said softly.

Hodge pushed open the secret door and walked out.

"Did he find me, too?" Hodge asked softly.

"Well, the extraordinary person has spiritual awareness, just like you found out that he looked at the secret door before leaving, if you want to hide the breath and spirituality on your body, you need special means, it is useless to simply hold your breath and concentrate." Marquis Bach explained softly.

"Hmm." Hodge was not surprised by this result, after all, the other party was the third leader of the Royal Knights, and if he didn't even have this ability, it would be too amateurish.

"He should have been commissioned to come."

Hearing this, Marquis Bach nodded lightly and said, "Well, there are only a handful of people who can drive the Royal Knights in the upper echelons of the Empire. ”

"Father, he seems to have a lot of affection for you?" Hodge thought for a moment and asked.

"He used to be one of my lieutenants, but he was transferred to the third regiment, and in the last two years, he was promoted to the head of the detachment." Marquis Bach explained.

"In this way, the reason why the top of the empire promoted him was also to make him an outcast and use it for us to be buried." Hodge nodded, smiling a little lightly.

"Because of my relationship, his promotion in the regiment is not easy, although the Royal Knights are directly under the orders of His Majesty the King, but the big nobles and royal children also use their connections to secretly grasp some authority without violating the rules, and these things are also tacitly approved by the king."

"He also wants to see that among the younger generation, he is more capable and qualified to become the crown prince and become the heir of the empire."

Marquis Bach briefly introduced some information about the current empire to Hodge.
