Chapter 164: Candidates for Leadership
In the night, the Guran Continent is like a lying beast, sleeping in the boundless darkness, although the dawn has not yet come, but the stars have dimmed, no matter what, before the dawn comes, she will eventually wake up, what is needed is a whisper to wake her up!
In the last days of May, Sirin and Augustine returned to Dostor, the northern fortress of the province of Thambul, where she withstood the orcs and left the stormy empire breathing!
Dostol, the Lord's Palace.
Sarah didn't come back with Syrin, this time after all, she didn't hold on to the city like the orcs, and since it was a westward expedition, Sillin wouldn't stay in Dostol for long, maybe she would pass by Wiesna again.
"Cillin, how is it, hasn't a date for departure been set yet?" Augustin was about to go out, and just happened to meet Sillin who had returned from outside, so he asked.
Originally, Cillin lowered his head, but when he heard the words, he saw Augustine with an anxious face, "What, are you in a hurry?" Cillin said with a smile: "If Jesse is so anxious, it's just that Lord Augustin rarely has such a positive time." ”
As he spoke, Xilin walked towards the mansion, and Augustine followed Xilin back to the mansion.
Indeed, Augustine should only have such an interest in beautiful women, glancing at Augustine, who was speechless, Sirin continued: "What?
"Chick?" Augustine raised his eyebrows, and then said seriously: "I'm going to fight now, chick or something, I'll talk about it later, I still want to gallop on the battlefield." ”
For Augustine said. If it's a person who doesn't know him. One would surely think that Augustine was the prodigal son turning back. But Cillin's expression was all disapproving, he said it was okay to say to others, but it was obviously useless to Cillin, Cillin would not fall for him, Augustine, the thing in the crotch of this guy's pants, would not be as obedient as his mouth.
"By the way, what were you going to do just now?" asked Cillin, thinking that Augustine was about to leave the mansion just now.
Hear this. Augustin was slightly stunned and said, "Uh...... I'm going to look for you, Yarlin said you went to the Corps, by the way, why did you come back so soon?"
Ignoring Augustine, who wanted to deliberately divert the topic, Cillin directly ignored the first half of his sentence and only gave him a big roll of his eyes, which was regarded as an answer to Augustine.
"Cut, don't know me. As he spoke, Augustine habitually waved his right hand.
Seeing that Cillin did not speak. Augustine also stopped joking, "Isn't there any news at all?"
"Message? What do you want to hear? The imperial capital is still in session, and although it has been decided to go west, some guys will not give up this opportunity, and those bigwigs are still discussing the choice of leader. ”
"Uh...... Meeting?" Augustine paused, "Okay...... Is there a suitable candidate?"
Saying that, the two have arrived in the flower hall, it is only morning, Dostol's solar term is later than the south, it is the season when the violet is in full bloom, inside and outside the flower hall, the shadow of the violet can be seen everywhere, and the faint fragrance fills the air, setting off the pre-war tranquility.
"The right person?" Cillin glanced at Augustine behind him, and then sat down on the chair in front of him, "Of course there is, whether it is the General Staff or the Military Affairs Department, most people agree that this expedition to the west is led by Lord Oliver." ”
"Lord Oliver, Lord Oliver?" Augustine looked at Sirin in surprise.
Xilin nodded, "Do you need to be so surprised, this is a western expedition, our emperor is still thinking of going to the expedition in person." Speaking of pro-conquest, Xilin's face turned slightly cold, his father died in battle to protect the emperor, and it was not necessarily a good idea to drive pro-conquest.
"Okay, Erik will do it himself, what does he know, I don't believe that he will pass the sword exam now, it must be the tutor who gave him the green light. "For Eric, Augustine looked down on him very much, and if nothing else, just cowardice was enough to make Augustine despise him.
Regarding Augustine's words, Cillin just smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, Augustin's face gradually calmed down, and then said: "Lord Duke is very suitable as a commander, is there any other more appropriate commander?"
"Lord Harris. Cillin took a sip of tea and said a name.
"Uh...... No way. Hearing this name shocked Augustine much more than he had just now, "Cillin, are you sure you're not mistaken? Master Harris is almost seventy years old." ”
"What's this, isn't Lord Oliver all sixty, and Lord Harris's body is not weak at all. Cillin glanced at Augustine, "There's no need to make such a fuss, by the way, your family seems to be more inclined to Lord Harris." ”
Harris is an old fritter, this is known to the whole continent, even the demon generals are afraid of this cunning human, as the governor of the special Viceroyalty of Odo, the sixty-seven-year-old Duke of the Empire, his influence is no less than that of Duke Oliver, who is in power and opposition.
Some people even speculate that Harris's cultivation may have reached the level of a strong man, you know, although the lifespan of most human beings is not much different, but the lifespan of ordinary people is generally only more than seventy years old, and the strong can live to at least one hundred and fifty years old, which is a full double.
"Family, okay...... I don't know what my grandfather thinks. Speaking of the family, Augustine was helpless for a while, as a famous family in the imperial capital, the Jacobson family has some influence in the political circles, and the current deputy minister of military affairs is Augustin's grandfather, that is, the contemporary patriarch of the Jacobson family.
After a slight pause, Augustine continued: "But in some of the letters I have received, both my grandfather and my father seem to want me to develop on my own and not rely too much on the family. ”
In the Roland Empire, many of the children of the big families will be cultivated by the family and then serve the family, and it seems that in their eyes, it is more important to keep the family's position on the continent than to keep the empire.
Like the current Jacobson family and the Deball family where the city lord of Celil Yarvis, is located, they are all long-standing families on the mainland, and their family history is much longer than the history of the Roland Empire.
"Don't rely on the family?" Cillin looked at Augustine with a smile, "This just shows that your kid has the potential for self-development." ”
"The potential of the fart, I want to have the potential to be next to your big tree. "Augustine was a gentleman and generally didn't swear.
Looking at Augustine next to him, Cillin stood up with a smile: "Okay, Augustin chick, then...... Now come and serve your lord Xilin for dinner. ”
Hearing this, Augustine's face was stunned for a moment, and then a thick smile resurfaced: "Okay, dear Lord Xilin, what are we going to do after dinner?"
Before Augustine's words fell, Cillin only dropped a "slut" and a "count you ruthless" look, and walked out of the flower hall quickly. (To be continued......)
