"What suggestions do you have for how to deal with the Dorok traitor general?" Regarding Crolisat's response, the fat man's face was noncommittal, neither negative nor affirmative, but asked a question that was not related to this matter. , this somewhat ambiguous attitude made the atmosphere tense.

"Those who kill their own coach in order to survive should be executed immediately," Caesar Solal, who has a relatively upright personality, said without hesitation.

"What's your opinion? Crolissart." The fat man looked at Crolissatt on the other side with a calm face, his eyes twinkling like stars in his dark pupils.

"This kind of person should...ahem..." Crolisate was about to express the same opinion as Caesar Zoro, but inadvertently glanced across the way, Caesar Zoro was winking at him, which made him After some hesitation, a flash of enlightenment flashed through his mind,

Croissant changed the topic and said nervously, "I think that this person not only cannot be killed, but also needs to be entrusted with important tasks."

"Are you kidding me? Is there anything worthy of reusing this kind of person?" After hearing Crolissatt's words, Caesar Zoro, who had just given a secret signal across from him, immediately looked anxious and stood up from his seat. He stood up and glared at Croissant opposite,

As a military boss of the same level, he didn't mind being seen as rude. In fact, his expression seemed to be confused as to whether the head of Croissant, who had always been clear about grudges and grievances, was coming from before. Let the horse kick,

"This man was a rare general. It would be a pity to kill him."

Croissant was holding her breath, and her buttocks on the seat subconsciously twisted a few times. It can be seen how contrary to what he said,

"You are just a bastard," Caesar Sauron said sternly, his face red with anger. "Do you know that it was this Mo Angrig who commanded the assault on the Anxialing Pass? That battle was a huge blow to you and the Western Army. A shame that will never be forgotten,

That's since I started fighting with the Falcon Army. In the largest defeat, not only did the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Western Army suffer more than half of its losses, but Aksud, the commander of the Fourth Banner Regiment, is still alive and dead. You have to protect such an enemy. Are you worthy of those warriors who died in Anxia Ling? If such a thing happened to me, it would not be an exaggeration to say that such an enemy would be killed by a thousand cuts."

"People will die in the war. I will bear the responsibility for the defeat. If you can shirk responsibility by killing the general, it will be an insult to me and the entire Western Army." Croissant clenched her fists under the table. , his face turned pale, he held his head high and looked at the imposing Caesar Sauron,

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the more fierce Caesar Sauron was at this moment, he was also helping himself. Although His Majesty Falcon did not hold him accountable for this defeat. But the intention of moving the Western Army away from Palaven is already obvious. The only areas where the Army can now be settled are the Dorok Mountains and the border close to the grassland.

"Okay, stop acting and be more professional. The two of you just barely signaled in front of me." The fat man waved helplessly to the two secretly flirting treasures. These two guys are indeed worthy of their reputation. An old partner for many years. It only took a few glances to secretly collude.

"Ahem, I know I can't hide it from His Majesty's Eagle Eyes." The anger on Caesar Zoro's face disappeared, and he coughed awkwardly on his calm face. "To be honest, although the Western Army made mistakes in the front, they fought in the back. It’s still a pretty good fight.”

The two of them were the commanders of the legion from Wikiia, and they also followed His Majesty Falcon together at the beginning. Although there were some minor frictions, in the face of the general trend, they all knew that cooperation would lead to common interests. Obviously, after Caesar Sauron learned that his northern army would be transferred to the southern part of Vecia, he hoped to hand over the base camp of Aire to Croissant's,

Considering the overall situation, Crolissart is, after all, one of the leaders of the military forces in Vikia. Together with himself and the Southern Governor Statunko, he is known as the commander of the three major military corps, and he was once a colleague who shared life and death. If the army suffers serious consequences or is transferred to a remote area far away from the center of power, it will inevitably greatly weaken the influence of the Wikiya military force, but instead give an advantage to the Ruidian military force, which is vaguely on the rise.

As for the Lod faction, Caesar Sauron has not yet considered it. After all, the Lod soldiers have no foundation and no military exploits. Their influence is only limited to the Second Army of the Southern Army. Unlike the Reedian faction, which has military affairs Under the care of the deputy general in charge, Plais, there are a group of experienced elite backbones such as the famous generals Hutu Emma and Amicia, as well as a large number of soldiers trained by Palaven, the highest university in the mainland.

Strictly speaking, excluding human factors and commander factors, Ruidian people are born soldiers, rigorous, respect their superiors, have a sense of collective honor, obey orders, and are not afraid of death. This is a unique honor cultivated by the mainland's hegemons for hundreds of years. Look, the fifteen thousand people transferred from the three northern counties this time are the new legion formed by the Ruidian people.

It can be seen from the above that the empire's recruitment focus is shifting from the Vecians to the Reedians.

Mainly because of the brutal civil war and large-scale foreign conquests in Wikiia. Although civilians actively joined the army and tried to reduce the casualties of the war, the labor gap caused by the war also exploded over time.

In many villages, the only people in the empty villages are women and children. Almost all the young labor force has been recruited. Wars have continued and casualties are accumulating day by day. Although domestic commerce and trade in Asia is developed, its agricultural development has not developed significantly for several years.

Only by shifting the focus of recruitment can we effectively alleviate the overwhelming military gap in Wikiia and give Wikiia a chance to recuperate. Fatty also had such a plan to transfer Caesar Sauron's Northern Army back to the country, but a large number of The Redian people joined the Falcon Army, which also caused a subtle conflation of the Redian factions.

Fatty also sees this very clearly,

The integration of various ethnic groups is an unavoidable process for any new empire. It may be bloody or gentle.

Of course, the fat man is confident that he can strike a balance in this regard, so he will not be bored to talk to his confidants. Explaining what intermarriage is and what blood fusion is, such esoteric and even somewhat contrary to traditional concepts, is just to secretly encourage his generals to consider beauties of other races when marrying wives, just as he does by setting an example. , married 10 wives at once.

"Everyone, all races are one family. This is the need to resolve the internal contradictions in the empire and the development of the empire."

The fat man patted his chest at a secret meeting of the army commander and said, "This is a troubled era. Men are dying one after another. Can you bear to watch so many beauties remain widows? There is such a thing as monogamy. , is a harsh treatment for many women I'm irresponsible and want to set an example. Don't embarrass me." Under such encouragement, Crolisate married four Raedian wives in Palavon, including Caesar Sauron. A kind of loyal and honest person, he also married two people within one year.

Caesar Zoro's voice stopped, his eyes drifted over, and when he saw that there was no expression on the fat man's face, he boldly said, I think if the defeat of this battle is strictly counted, His Majesty will also bear a certain responsibility. After all, His Majesty is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and the two of us are just unilateral chess pieces. It is really unreasonable to only pursue the mistakes of the chess pieces and ignore the responsibility of the players. But the responsibility for this defeat needs to be An explanation, otherwise how should those soldiers who died in the battle face it?"

"Does this have anything to do with whether to kill Mo Angrig or not?" The fat man rolled his eyes indifferently. Obviously he doesn't admit it

Caesar Sauron, who was used to seeing His Majesty Falcon play rogue, showed a strange smile on his lips and said, "Of course it does matter, otherwise Your Majesty wouldn't need to find us two scapegoats."

"What do you mean by this?" Crolisa on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, but the fat man looked calm and disapproving.

Caesar Zoro stood up. When he came to the map of the military tent, he pointed at the map and said, "The situation is now very clear. Dorok's main force was completely lost in the battle of the Gadisa River, and he will no longer be able to resist in the short term.

Under the pressure of His Majesty's army, the Dorok people will inevitably have serious internal divisions over whether to hold on or surrender. And now their eyes are focused on one person, that is, whether we can accept Mo'ang Rigg's surrender,

If His Majesty orders Mo Enlig to be killed, Dorok's capitulation faction will inevitably change direction and become a staunch resistance faction. Although Dorok's main force is wiped out, there are still tens of thousands of troops left in the country. Everyone, taking the Kurma Fort in front of us as an example, the Dorok army that retreated to the direction of Aaron reached 30,000 people.

Although it is the general trend for our army to wipe out the Dorok Mountains, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary troubles.

On the contrary, if the traitorous general Mo Anglige is accepted and entrusted with important tasks, the Dorok tribes will surely surrender upon hearing the news. This vast and majestic mountainous area will soon fall into the hands of your majesty without any resistance. If one person exchanges the entire Dorok, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be unmoved.

"But this crime always needs someone to bear it. Naturally, it would be best if the Western Army, which suffered the most losses in this war, and I, the Northern Army who took advantage of it and was about to be transferred back to the country, jointly bear it. Even if it is spread, it will be No one will have any objections to His Majesty,

And for the two of us, we can only say that he is a person who is far-sighted and broad-minded without caring about personal grudges." Caesar Zoro glanced in the direction of Crolisate with an astonished look, which meant something like I'm saying, you owe me a big favor this time

The fat man's calm face finally showed some fluctuations, and he took a deep breath, "Well said, there are many people outside who can see this, but you are definitely the only one in the whole army who dares to say it in front of me, Caesar Suo It’s a pity that until now, someone still hasn’t expressed anything.”

"Everyone in our Western Army is willing to protect Moenlig," Crolisate said with a slightly pale face. He was not a fool, but an extremely smart person. Naturally, he understood the underlying meaning of the conversation between the two. It was nothing more than a hint to him that if he saved this Mo Angrig, he would also save himself. In order to protect his reputation, the focus of investigating the defeat has shifted to Li Baomo Anglige. No matter how the Falcon is punished, with this article in front, the responsibilities that can be investigated are very limited. At most, it is just a balance between merit and demerit. This is already an unexpected surprise for the current embarrassing situation of the Northwest Army.

"Do you know why my generals are stationed here?" The fat man sighed slightly, stood up from his seat, and stood at the door of the tent with his hands behind his back. He looked at the beautiful and picturesque lake in the distance with fascinated eyes. Caesar Sauron had a look on his face. He said with fascination, "The scenery here is beautiful and makes people unnaturally intoxicated. No wonder even His Majesty is nostalgic for this place."

"The fat man glared at him fiercely, "That's great, I'll send someone to build a villa by the lake, how about you stay?"

"How can this be done? I am a soldier. An overly comfortable life is not suitable for me." Caesar Sauron lowered his head in fear. Crolisate next to him felt something and rushed to say, "He doesn't want to stay. It's better to let me stay." Well, I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt that this place, surrounded by mountains and clear water, would be a very good choice for fishing and hunting on weekdays.”

"You can really think about it, but you can't stay here." The fat man glanced at Crolisate unexpectedly, shook his head, pointed to the sky in the distance and said, "Did you see the big lake in front of you? That's where the three rivers meet. It is located in the center of the Dorok Waterway. From here, you can go out of the lake and go down the river. In less than 2 days, the army can overwhelm Aaron. However, there is news from Dorok. Information. There are already rumors in Dorok that we have killed this Moangrig. Now Dorok is reorganizing resistance. They claim to mobilize 200,000 Aarons to form a volunteer army to fight with our Falcon Army. I want you to prove your guilt and take down Aaron. If you come back here to hunt and fish, I won't care about you."

"Your Majesty wants me to lead the army to attack Aaron," Crolisate looked shocked and said in disbelief.

"In addition to your Western Army, are there other mountain troops in our Falcon Army?" Fatty said nonchalantly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Seeing Croissant's renewed look, he felt relieved in his heart.

He had already sensed Crolissart's somewhat decadent mood just now, so he did not mention the defeat and punishment, but just chatted, hoping to enlighten him.

It's no wonder that in the Battle of Palavon, although the Western Army resisted desperately, they still couldn't escape the reputation of losing the city and losing ground. This was definitely a heavy blow to Crolisate, who had always been accustomed to victory. If he couldn't Cheer up, how dare you entrust him with such an important task as guarding Dorok? The commander of the army, the life and death of tens of thousands of creatures is in his hands. This is no joke.

"Not only must we be able to defeat it, but we must also be able to defend it. It's not just one or two victories. It may take one or two hundred years or more. Do you have the confidence?" the fat man said with emphasis.

Hearing the fat man's words, Crolisate's body trembled slightly. His Majesty Falcon's words were undoubtedly equivalent to handing over the power of the entire Dorok Mountains to him. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said excitedly. "Thanks to your majesty's love, I, Crolisate, hereby swear that I am willing to stay here to guard the border for your majesty for generations to come."

"Okay, you go ahead. If you don't come out yet, I'm afraid there will already be rumors outside." The fat man waved his hands to the two of them.

The two of them exited the fat man's military tent with respectful expressions.

"It's finally out." Caesar Zoro took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.

There is a layer of mist on the lake in the distance, which is a sign of imminent rain. In fact, even Caesar Sauron did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly hand over the glory of capturing Aaron when the Western Army was facing punishment. Croissant, the newly defeated general,

"How are you going to deal with the so-called 200,000 volunteers instigated by the Aaron Council?" Caesar Zoro asked in a low voice, Crolisate, who was also looking relaxed next to him.

"No matter how many civilians there are, they are still civilians. In front of the army, they are just a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

Croissant curled her lips in disapproval. Although this guy was born a commoner, he had never felt any guilt for massacring civilians. Moreover, he unexpectedly got this important task, and he already had the idea of ​​​​fighting to the death. If anyone dares to stop him at this time, he will definitely be killed by God. If Buddha blocks Buddha, what His Majesty may need is his vigor.

"You don't want to kill them all, do you?"

Seeing the flash of anger on Crolisate's face, Caesar Zoro quickly said, "Although I know that this number is high, I estimate that there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people, mainly because they are all civilians. That's it for giving the order to Aaron to massacre the city. Do you really want the entire Aaron to be covered in a pool of blood?

Once you make His Majesty angry, you really won't be able to explain it," Caesar Sauron said with some worry.

"It's really abominable. It's the so-called parliament that is doing this. They are very good at blackmailing and inciting civilians," Croissant said. "I didn't expect that someone would use their own people to blackmail the enemy. No wonder such a parliament failed."

"Actually, you can meet that Mo Anglig, you might get something good," Caesar Sauron said thoughtfully. Neither of them noticed that countless pairs of people outside the military tent looked at Caesar Sauron with surprised eyes. Now, two military bosses from Crolisat came out of His Majesty Falcon's military tent looking extremely friendly.

"What's going on?"

Only when the two were far away did the generals dare to whisper,

"It seems that a storm will come soon, but I don't know whether the rain that will cover Dorok will be cool and pleasant, or a bloody storm." Among the crowd, someone looked at the two of them with a pair of wise and deep eyes. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
