Magic Underachiever

The Governor's Mansion of Marcellus is a four-story building surrounded by a lawn surrounded by high fences. There are sentry towers at the four corners, and an electromagnetic detection rod stands on the top of the sentry tower, which can use electromagnetic waves to search for nearby energy fluctuations.

At this time, Admiral Priestley and Speaker Peters stood on the steps in front of the Governor's door. From here, you can see the craftsmen left behind in the Governor's Mansion are mowing the lawn, and several magicians and alchemists are checking whether the magic mechanism protecting the Governor's Mansion is still working.

A reinforced battalion of the Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment is responsible for the protection of the Governor's Mansion. Machine guns have been set up on the sentry towers and the roof of the Governor's Mansion. The black muzzles can also be seen at the shooting holes of the bunkers and bunkers inside and outside the courtyard.

The Royal Musketeer Cavalry patrols around the Governor's Mansion and the surrounding blocks in teams of twelve people on war horses. Outside the Governor's Mansion is a circular open area with a width of 200 meters. There are only low grass here, without any trees or bushes, ensuring that anyone who approaches will have no cover to use and will be directly exposed to the muzzle of the defenders.

At this time, Major Reed had retreated into the Governor's Mansion. Facing the closed door and two guards on duty, Admiral Priestley and Speaker Peters could not figure out the attitude of the new Governor of Marsellus towards the current situation.

The Admiral and the Speaker fought openly and secretly in Saroyang, but they were also familiar with each other.

Admiral Priestley, who was sixty years old and a little fat, said: "I have heard that the Marquis of Whitehead is a cabinet minister and is trusted by His Majesty. Everyone thinks that he will soon become the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the most powerful person in the empire...

Why did he choose to come to Marsellus to be the Governor? Doesn't he know... the fate of previous governors?

He obviously has a better path to promotion."

Compared with the older admiral, Speaker Peters looked younger and more capable. He wore a swallowtail gentleman's suit, his all-white hair was combed into a small braid with hairspray, and he looked handsome. His green eyes added a unique charm to him.

The Speaker held a cane, and the top of the cane hung the top hat he had just taken off.

He flicked the dust off his hat and said to himself, "Perhaps... he thinks the power of the Prime Minister is not big enough."

"Mr. Speaker, watch your words."

Admiral Priestley knew what the Speaker meant by this.

The power of the Prime Minister is not big enough, what if it is bigger!

How many Marcellus governors lost their heads because of this sentence? Now in the entire Vlomink Empire, I am afraid that this Speaker is the one who wants Marquis Whitehead to die sooner.

If the Marquis is suspected and executed by the Emperor of the Empire...

Who dares to come to Marcellus to take this fire basin?

Speaker Peters showed a nonchalant expression in response to the admiral's warning. He said, "What do you think he is doing this for... the empire?

Or for me?

I am the speaker of the Marcellus Parliament. I have nothing but this mouth. When the people get tired of me and don't vote for me, I will step down. At that time, I will be nothing... Admiral, do you think I am a threat to the empire?

The governor of Marcellus is different. He controls the empire's military power in Marcellus.

What do you think the Marquis Whitehead meant by rejecting our visit?"

Speaker The words made the admiral think, and he asked: "What does it mean?"

"He is the governor, and I am the speaker. We are of the same level. I came to visit him, but he didn't see me. What he meant was that he was at odds with me, and even full of hostility... This is for your majesty to see. Only by portraying me as a threat to the empire, your majesty can't be suspicious of him, and even if you suspect him, you can't touch him."

The admiral did not express his own opinion, and he asked again: "What does it mean that the marquis doesn't see me?"

"The marquis is the governor, and you are the commander of the Azure Corps, his subordinate. He doesn't see you, so he uses you to release him from the garrison in the empire. 's influence, suppressing your prestige.

Commander of the Imperial Azure Corps, Admiral of the Empire, you are very prestigious in the Marcellus Garrison. And Marquis Whitehead has not yet officially taken office as the Governor, and he dared to let you face a closed door. What do you think of other corps commanders? What do your subordinates think?

The Marquis is asking for military power and absolute command over the Imperial Garrison.

Admiral, our Governor... is not simple. "

At this time, Admiral Priestley sneered: "Mr. Speaker, am I trying to sow discord between me and the Governor? I'm sorry to disappoint you. The Azure Corps is the Empire. The Ninth Musketeer Cavalry Regiment, the whole regiment is loyal to the Empire.

Since Marquis Whitehead is the Governor of Marcellus appointed by His Majesty, he has the command over the Azure Corps.

I will obey the Governor's orders, because the Governor's power is granted by His Majesty.

And you... don't make yourself sound so innocent.

What's the matter with those demonstrators attacking my Azure Corps? Don't bully me because I'm old and can't see it because of my blurry eyes...

This demonstration was organized by your parliament.

What do you want to do? "

Speaker Peters didn't know that some of his words were heard by the Admiral. Speaking of today's demonstration, he smiled and explained: "Admiral, Marcellus is a legal society, and what you say must be based on evidence. This demonstration was because you have too many soldiers entering the city of Saroyang.

You blocked the roads and surrounded the Church of the Good, which seriously affected the citizens' travel, work and rest. There was also no way for the believers of the God of Light to go to the church to admire the divine light and get holy water.

Do you know how many complaint letters I have received in the past few days, including charges that the soldiers of the Azure Corps disturbed and attacked citizens. "

The Admiral said: "The Azure Cathedral has heavy weapons that exceed the regulations. As the garrison guarding the city of Saroyang, the Azure Corps has the responsibility to protect the city. Since I have discovered these illegal weapons, I must search the Church of the Good...

If something happens, the Azure Corps will be sorry for the honor bestowed on us by the Empire."

The Speaker smiled helplessly and said: "We all know that the Azure Cathedral has illegal weapons... But the Azure Corps can check weapons, but can you solve the problem by sending so many soldiers to surround the church?

This is related to the majesty of the Church of the Good. Does Bishop Roland dare to surrender voluntarily during a military confrontation and let the imperial soldiers rush into the church to search at will?

In this situation, someone must take a step back.

I think if the Azure Corps can take the opportunity of the public demonstration to take the initiative to give in, the Azure Cathedral will definitely be willing to cooperate. "

The speaker's words resonated with Admiral Priestley.

The confrontation these days also made the Azure Corps in a difficult position.

The Church of the Supreme Good has heavy weapons that exceed the regulations. The Azure Corps had to investigate if they found out. Not investigating would be dereliction of duty. If something happened again, the Empire would definitely find trouble with the Azure Corps first.

Therefore, the Azure Corps could only surround the Church of the Supreme Good, neither advancing nor retreating, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes.

But it was not a solution to keep confronting like this... The Azure Corps' blockade of the streets did seriously affect the lives of the citizens of Saroyang, especially some gangsters took the opportunity to extort and rob, which also made the admiral headache.
