The Marquise took Sveis in her arms. The Duke of Hepburn's hand, walking along the path of the garden, and as she walked past a flaming flower, the Marquise began to tell her troubles of this time, the matter of her youngest son Glens.

"Glens was supposed to be serving in a unit with his father, and before that unfortunate war began, Longria let Glens leave the battlefield in the name of delivering a report. Regardless, I am very grateful for my husband's decision. The Marquise whispered, "But Glens himself could not understand his father's decision, and he felt that he was acting as a runaway, and that he had spent his days in the country manor in a state of depression, and did not come to see me." ”

"Glens, he's twenty-three, isn't he? a year older than me. Sveis remembered the little friend he had met a few times when he was a child, "Madam, you don't have to worry too much, time is the best medicine for the soul." ”

"I understand that, but after all this time of the war, Glens still can't pick himself up. The Marquise sighed, "Although I have several sons, he is the only one who has served in the army, and the family honor is obtained by war, and in the present situation, the whole family's requirements and expectations for him will be more urgent." ”

"Madame's meaning is ......" Sveth paused, "Someone wants to do something to Glens?"

"It shouldn't be just Glens, the target may be our entire family, Long Ria has been in the army for more than 30 years and has offended many people. As soon as he died, the whole family could not find a second person to support for a while, we are a military family, and one qiē focuses on military merits. Interior officials could not maintain the honor of the family. The Marquise nodded. "There are not a few people who attack behind their backs. If it weren't for the Emperor's Majesty's nostalgia for the old feelings, what happened to us would not be what it is now. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Glens is your youngest son, and he cannot inherit the title of Marquis without military merit. Sveys thought for a moment, "He's a lieutenant colonel now, right?

"After the defeat of Longria, the army he led no longer existed, so Glens did not have real power for the time being. The Marquise replied worriedly. "Although I don't know much about the army, in the army of the Wells Empire, it seems that a background like Glens's identity cannot be accepted by other legions. ”

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Sveis looked at the Marquise, "you want him to rebuild an army of his own?"

"Glens is a kid with a lot of self-esteem, and it's better to form his own legion and fight than to be angry in the obscurity of someone else's legion. The Marquise nodded, "I have a good personal relationship with the Empress, and I have her support for the formation of the legion, which I think is what His Majesty the Emperor wants." After all, we are still a prominent family. ”

Since he couldn't stay out of the matter, Svis, who was familiar with military affairs, kept thinking about it in his head. "What does your majesty mean by the Emperor, can you elaborate on what size of the legion he can allow Glens to build?"

"The size of the corps has not been talked about in detail. The Marquise whispered, "The meaning revealed by the Empress is probably to let Glens start from the small army first and participate in the large-scale exercises of the Demon Alliance, and it is best to win honor for the empire in the first exercise." ”

Sveis walked back and forth a few steps, then suddenly turned to the Marquise and said, "Madam, do you trust me?"

The Marquise nodded and replied, "Of course." ”

"Well, the advice I give is that Glens must not form a legion now. Sveis shook his head, "A legion is at least 20,000 people, and Glens only has one person now, and he doesn't even have a few basic right-hand men around him, how to manage this army? ”

"What then?" said the Marquise's face turned a little pale, "is this a conspiracy of some people?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a conspiracy or not, as long as they're willing to let Glens command a force, we'll have a chance. Sveis smiled, took out a map from his bosom, and pointed to a certain part of the Wells Empire above, "Madam, please take a look here." ”

"Here it is...... The Marquise said confusedly, "It's a small level, and there are no troops left. ”

"It's a small level at the moment, but in the future it will become one of the most interesting locations for the Demon Alliance. Sveis pointed to the map and explained to the Marquise, "Although this pass belongs to your country's second defensive line, and the defensive troops were withdrawn after the Great War of Gods and Demons, it is a very valuable and dangerous checkpoint in itself. I built Glens with 5,000 men to garrison here. ”

"What's the use of staying here?" the Marquise wondered even more.

"Madame, I can't explain it to you right now. Sveys looked embarrassed, "But please believe me, in less than three years, Glens will definitely make a very dazzling military feat here, enough to support the honor of a family." ”

The Marquise knew that the junior in front of her had been working in the military headquarters of the Demon Alliance, and his personal ability was quite outstanding, so of course what he said would have some truth, and based on the relationship between them, it was impossible for him to harm himself. Let Glens guard this small level, it is likely that he already knows some inconvenient inside information.

"Okay, I'll go to the Queen. At last, the Marquise made up her mind, "What else do I have to pay attention to?"

"There's only one thing you need to be mindful of, and what Glens needs is five thousand experienced veterans and a formal letter of appointment. Sveys smiled, "As for Glens's thoughts, if things are settled, I'll go talk to him." ”

"It shouldn't be a problem, probably tomorrow there will be a letter of appointment. The Marquise beckoned to the maid in the distance, "I'll go into the palace now, Glens's affairs will trouble you a little more." ”

"As long as you don't force me to go to the ball, that's not a problem. Sveis put away the map and nodded elegantly, "You'd better get back the letter of appointment issued by His Majesty the Emperor in person." I am here to wait for your good news. ”

After the departure of the Marquise. Sveis returned to his preferred seat. Look at the latest military information from Sbia.

Of course, he had his own reasons for mentioning Glens to guard a seemingly unimportant level, and for a marquise, of course, he couldn't clearly say the reason, did he want to sue a lady, there was a man named Cohen opposite. Al Qaeda's madman, will he definitely hit in three years?

As crazy as it sounds, Sveis believes his judgment is correct. During this period of time, the dividing line between gods and demons has not been very calm, and at this time, there are still people who can make ghosts on the dividing line, except for Cohen. Kaida, there will be no one else, he will definitely call...... The three-year time limit is only advanced, and it will definitely not lag behind.

From the beginning of the civil war in the Sbia Empire, Sveis has been studying Cohen. The more he went deeper, the more he found this person strange. From the habits of life, personal character, and means of doing things, there is a breath of evil. Maybe he really dared to challenge the invincible demon alliance with the power of a single country. Even if he can't take advantage of it, at least he will make everyone sleep unsoundly.

But. Cohen. Kaida really has crazy capital, only from the current situation, it can be inferred that he is a rare military talent, and he has also done a good job in internal affairs, and understands the combination of people's livelihood and military affairs...... Is this guy really in his early twenties?

Sveys shook his head, closed the scroll in his hand, and decided to take a break.

Before dinner, the Marquise returned from the Royal Palace. Although she lost her husband, who was a marquis, the influence of the marquise herself should not be underestimated, and she brought back a letter of appointment for her youngest son, which was written by the emperor himself, along with the appointment order.

Sveis immediately took the letter of appointment and went to the estate where Glens was. When he changed his cloak in the room, Xenia shouted that he would follow, but Sveys decisively refused.

The manor house where Glens lived was in a small town outside the capital, his family's private property, not far from his mother's villa, and it took Sveis less than two hours to get there. Dismounted outside the town, and walked along the gravel paved road for a while, we arrived at the manor on the west river of the town.

Heaven went up and knocked the old knocker, and an elderly servant opened it.

"Please inform. "Heaven handed over the business card," Sveys. Duke Hepburn came to visit Master Glens. ”

"I'm sorry, but the young master hasn't seen any guests. The old servant looked at the guest standing outside the door, perhaps it was Svis's airtight dress that made him suspicious, "It's useless to report, please go back!"

The servant's words were appropriate, but unfortunately such perfunctory words were completely ineffective for heaven, and he said with a cold face, "Sves." Duke Hepburn was commissioned by Young Master Glens's mother, and with your weight, you can't stop this visit. ”

The Duke was still looking out at the scenery outside the town, he himself would not worry about such small things, and he knew that as soon as the three sentences did not come to fruition, Heaven would tear down the gate of this manor, this guy was a grumpy guard.

But this time it was okay, a soldier who had seen Duke Sweez a few days earlier passed by the gate at this time, and hurriedly invited the Duke and his party in, and while leading the way in front, he apologized to the Duke and Heaven again and again.

As he walked through the front yard, Swees saw the wine bottles piled up as high as a hill under the courtyard wall, and because of his deep fear of such occasions, he couldn't help asking, "Is your young master holding a drinking party?"

"No, the young master has been drinking a lot lately. The orderly replied, "Those were left some time ago, and because there are so many of them, it will not be enough to completely clean them up for a while." ”

Hearing that there were no guests, the Duke of Sweys did not ask any more questions, and entered the living room of the main building through the door opened by the orderly.

According to his original thoughts, since Glens is no longer a drunkard, then the biggest possibility is that he is depressed, autistic, and unwilling to see people, who knows that as soon as he walked into the hall, the scene inside was beyond his expectations, so that the duke, who had seen countless big scenes, was also slightly surprised.

The tables in the hall, on the walls around it, and on the carpets were covered with military maps, and small two-color flags were thrown everywhere to indicate the strength of our enemies, and all kinds of numbers were written on the scattered papers, and in one corner there was a fierce quarrel...... If you add a few staff officers who shuttle through it, Duke Sveys will wonder if he has entered the wartime headquarters of a certain army.

Remove gloves. Duke Sveys waved off the orderlies who were to be informed. Walk slowly into the hall. As he made his way to the corner where the quarrel was taking place, he also looked with interest at the "army-like" arrangement around him.

"I said, the first three miles are the woods, and it is definitely useless to place a thousand cavalry here!" a strong voice echoed in the corner between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the stairs, "My opinion is a thousand light infantry, and again, it is light infantry! They can tail the enemy, so that they have no time to organize a defense!"

"Pursue the retreating enemy. The role of light infantry is very limited! At this point in the battle, the enemy's confidence has not been completely crushed, we need to use cavalry to further drive them, so that when they enter the woods, the formation is scattered, although the woods can hinder the cavalry, but at the same time, it also hinders the enemy's movement and disrupts their formation!" Another voice did not show weakness, "Speed! Speed is the key! Win this time difference, and the troops behind can catch up and complete the encirclement!"

"You're handing over the victory you're about to win!" a tough voice sounded, "a dignified man." It should be decided at one time!"

"With your tactical arrangement, a victory is a pyrrhic victory. It's better not to hurt one's own victory like this!" The voice against it was very rational, rational and even a little cold, "Only by saving oneself can one have the capital to fight a battle." ”

The Duke saw first the bearded Glens, and then the handsome young man sitting across from him, but the two were so engrossed in their arguments that they didn't notice anyone approaching. So, Duke Sweis, who walked in front of the two of them, bent down and adjusted the deployment of the military formation in the sand table on the table under their surprised eyes.

"Duke Sweiss, why are you?Good evening!" Glens saw who it was, and quickly stood up to tidy up his clothes, but the shirt that was crumpled by him was very uncompromising, no matter how it was tidied up, it was still the same, and it couldn't make the image of the owner formal at all.

"Don't be like that, just call me Sves. Seeing Glens's embarrassment, the Duke replied casually, "I took the liberty of visiting you without informing you, sorry." ”

"I'm glad to hear that you've arrived at my mother's villa, and I'd like to take the time to see you!" Glance, who could see that a guest had visited, "I'd like to introduce you to a good friend of mine, his name is Shaya." These days, we often argue about the fact that he is a graduate of the Royal Military Academy in Campo. ”

"Good evening. Lord Duke nodded politely to Shaya, "It's a very warm atmosphere, even I want to join your discussion." Unfortunately, my time is limited. ”

"Do you have something to tell me, is there something going on with my mother, or is there some bad news?" Glens was stunned, "It's okay, Shaya is my bosom friend, you can talk about it here...... I'll accept anything, even if the army wants to sweep me away...... I will prove to them my strength with my actions, and I will definitely do it!"

"Don't get excited, no one can kick you out of the military headquarters except yourself. Duke Sweys replied in a calm tone, and in order to shorten the distance between them, he also sat down on the stairs, "I am also glad to see your mental state, at least you still have something to interest in now, and you have not spent all day drinking in vain." ”

Listening to the Duke's words, Glens's expression was a little embarrassed, in fact, he was still drunk a few days ago, and if he hadn't met Shaya in a chance incident, he would still look decadent now.

"Well, your mother mentioned to me some family trivialities, including the difficulties that your family is currently experiencing. Duke Sveys shrugged his shoulders, "You also know that the political situation in an empire is always so complicated and full of uncertainties. ”

"Anyone wants to do our family bad?" said Glens, whose head was clear.

"Someone asked your majesty to take command of a newly created legion, and asked you to win the championship in the first demon alliance drill next year. Sveis nodded, "You also know that the new legion will not be able to accomplish such a task, and you, as the commander, will definitely disappoint your royal family to the extreme, and the best result is to leave you idle and never be used again." ”

"It's vicious. Glens's face changed, and a word of indignation came out of his closed lips, "They want to take this opportunity to completely deprive me of the opportunity to be loyal to the Emperor!

"Of course, they even counted me. Sveis smiled slightly, "If you leave the army like this, even if I try to find other ways to reactivate you, I won't be able to find a suitable reason." ”

"Sweez, since you're willing to come here to me, you must have a way to deal with it?"

"There is a way to solve everything, it just has to divide people. Sveys threw the letter of appointment over, "Look at this." ”

"This ...... Youshui Pass: Three regiments of 5,000 people?"

"Yes, here's what I came up with for you. Sveys took a few steps and dragged a map over the ledge, "It's a small level, but it can be very useful at some point...... For example, if an army of a divine kingdom invades from here. ”

"That's right. Glens nodded, "But who will attack us? How can there be war at this time?"

"Now let's not say who it is, it doesn't hurt to believe my words, although the Youshui Pass is not big, but it is backed by the mountain range, it can be defended and attacked, it can be said that it is the most valuable level of your country in this region. Sveis took a pen and marked a few points on the map, "Although there are heavy troops in the frontline level, they will quickly fall under the surprise attack of the enemy, and when they reach the Dark Water Pass, it is the most exhausting time. Hold this line so that the enemy can't attack the checkpoints in the mountains, and you've made a great achievement. ”

"That's right! Once the enemy army attacks the checkpoint in the mountain range, it means that the capital of the country is directly threatened, and it will be a very humiliating thing, and no one can accept such a situation. "But I only have five thousand men, and I can't do much of it." ”

"You can do just one thing. Sveis dropped the pen in his hand, "The attack on the opponent's supply line was absolutely successful." ”

"Yes, there are four paths to the kingdom, and they will never notice this little level!" Glens waved his fist, "The enemy army has arrived here, and the supply line behind them has stretched for thousands of miles, and they will definitely be able to do it in one fell swoop!"

"Here's an envelope that you can study with your friends. Sveis handed over some of the plans he had written down in the afternoon, "I'm glad you have a good assistant, please work hard." ”

"Thank you, Sves!" Glens took a chair, "please sit down and talk to us." ”

They are also young people, and the topic of discussion is the military that everyone is concerned about, so this conversation will take a long time. Also of interest to Duke Sveys was Glens's new friend. During the conversation, this young man showed excellent judgment and a comprehensive grasp of the situation, and was a very good staff candidate, and was fully capable of serving as Glens's staff officer...... In the end, at Svis's request, Shaya agreed to help Glens, and his decision made the Duke happy.

However, when Duke Sveys returned to the villa, he heard bad news – Xenia. Miss Gironde snuck away, leaving only a small note in the room.

"Get ready to pack. After reading the note, Duke Sweys turned to Heaven and said, "Let's go find her." (To be continued......)
