Demon Lord

But in this position, it is absolutely idiotic to accuse Milno on the spot without evidence, so he can only swallow his anger and wait for Charles II to calm down.

At this time, Charles II was angry entirely because of the great psychological gap. He has been thinking about the plan to regain Efta almost every day recently, and he can no longer think about other things in his heart. The vast area on the map made people so obsessed, but finally when Earl Moore returned to the royal city, he got the reply It is not appropriate to go to war now!

The fragrant steaks are all grilled and served, and the fork has not dropped yet, but the feeling of letting someone take away Charles II is probably the same. However, he also understood that Moore was never a targetless person. After complaining a few words, he took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, and asked: Tell me the reason, I hope you can give enough reasons.

Yes, Your Majesty... In this battle, the strength of the orcs has obviously changed due to special reasons, so the infantry and cavalry suffered heavy losses...

Wait, what change in strength are you talking about?

Charles II was a little impatient. He felt that Earl Moore was just looking for reasons to prevaricate himself. And how did Moore know the reason for the change of the orcs? He explained that the natural language was vague, which disappointed Charles II.

Is there any other reason?

There is also the problem of logistics... The battle with the orcs has already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. This is still in the case of being close to the city, and the logistical pressure is not great. But if you are heading towards Efta, you have to start from the Bergen territory. Going west all the way, collecting food while walking, and building a supply line at the same time, but the Bergen territory has just been looted by orcs, and many villages and towns along the way have been destroyed...

This is a bit embarrassing, because Milnor never mentioned the loss of Bergen territory to Charles II. He just reported that the village was looted and misreported several casualties. There is no mention of the tragedy of the granary being looted and burned, and the loss of a large number of people.

Moore didn't want to mention this at first, but if he really marched into Efta, this is a problem that is right in front of him. If you don't say it, you have to say it, otherwise Charles II really asked him to lead troops to fight, tens of thousands of people Where does food come from?

Hearing what he said, Charles II turned his head and looked at Mirno, who hurried back: It's true that the orcs plundered the Bergen territory, but the food can still be shipped out.

Charles II is the main combat faction, and Mirno must stand firmly on the emperor's side. If he retreated now, how would the emperor dare to reuse him in the future?

This is sometimes the case in politics. When you are cornered, you must stand up. Even if Milno knows that it is difficult to squeeze food out of the Bergen Territory, he must tighten his belt and grit his teeth. This is a matter of position, not action. No problem.

Is there any other reason?

Forehead,

What's more... The orc troops have already withdrawn from Efta. If they shift their troops now, it will be very difficult for us to attack.

What!?

Charles II stood up directly, with a gloomy face and said: Who told you? Where did you get the news?

Sweat dripped from Mirno's forehead in an instant. He actually received the news early in the morning, but in order to allow Charles II to continue to promote the war, he held this military information down since last night and never sent it to the emperor's desk. But Mirno didn't expect that Moore would raise this issue at this time. Although the two of them didn't like each other before, they didn't confront each other openly. But now that they leaked the news like this, they obviously planned to tear themselves apart!

Milnor wished that Moore would die suddenly now, any more words he said might lead to his own doom. But behind the hatred, Mirno has long lost his composure... If it were other issues, he would definitely think about why Moore would not hesitate to tear himself apart to dissuade Charles II, but he lost his son's hatred and the latest battle plan The failure made him obsessed with destroying Everta.

Mirno, who was full of hatred, didn't know that he had fallen into the pit that Rody had dug.

Why didn't Roddy kill Mirnor back then? Because he knew at that time that the royal family is essentially a cancer. It is very simple to remove the cancer, just use the elite troops to push it directly. But conquering an entire kingdom by force brings numerous hidden dangers. If he wanted to truly achieve his political goals, Roddy would never be able to take the initiative to declare war.

If there is a power change, what the common people and most lords need is not a new king who steps on them, but a savior who saves them from the fire and water.

How to achieve such a goal? Quite simply, let the royal family lose themselves in greed and hatred.

Mirno is just a small part of Roddy's plan. He originally planned to use more means to subtly influence Charles II, but he didn't expect... the bomb he bought at the beginning would completely detonate at this time. .

The orcs withdrew from Efta? This is impossible! Earl Moore, I hope you can explain the source of the news!

Milnor looked serious, obviously wanting Moore to give an explanation. The latter originally thought that Charles II knew the news, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately understood the reason, and a chill suddenly surged in his heart.

Forcibly keeping His Majesty in the dark, what exactly does Mirno want to do?

Mirno was not originally considered a powerful minister, but only recently became the most trusted nobleman of Charles II. But in just a few short months, he actually infiltrated his power to such an extent that he even made Charles II...

Earl Moore thought through all this, and immediately realized that he was in a dilemma: should he continue to expose and try his best to dissuade him;

He raised his head and glanced at Mirno, who had bulging veins on his forehead, then turned his head to look at Charles II, who had always been loyal to him, and said slowly: Excuse me, Your Majesty, I have not confirmed this news, it is just that my subordinates are from traffickers. I heard it from there. I

So you have found so many reasons, but none of them can stand up.

Charles II breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, Forget it, I know you are exhausted from leading the army, so I don't need you to go this time.

Without mentioning anything else, let Moore exit the stage directly. The signal brought by this gesture is already obvious. Earl Moore knew that he had been removed from the power core of the Elson royal family, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he was far more decisive than Charles II. Now that he had made this decision, he immediately accepted the reality: Long live Your Majesty.

He took a few steps back, turned around and left without any hesitation.

Serving allegiance to the emperor is what he should do. But if this Majesty embarks on the road of self-destruction, Moore has no intention of being buried with him Efta is far more powerful than Charles II imagined.

As a qualified general, he will not lead his troops to die. As a qualified politician, he also made the choice that all nobles would make.

After all, no one wants to be cannon fodder.
