183.yes! marshal！
183.yes! marshal! (Page 2/2)
Everyone knows that if it were not for political needs, the noble Countess Margaret should be the only and perfect queen for King Louis..
But the most outrageous of all the outrageous stories about Louis IX is that although it was just a political marriage, the relationship between His Majesty and Queen Elizabeth was as harmonious as a real couple..
Five years ago, the Queen gave birth to a healthy boy for His Majesty, and was subsequently established as the heir, and Countess Margaret's daughter was also canonized as a princess..
Neither the queen nor the countess had any complaints about this.
This can only be said that the talent of the majesty in front of him in matters of love between men and women is really no less than his expertise in manipulating power..
“Ah, you have that sly dwarf smile again, it’s really annoying, Loren！”
King Louis no longer called the general by his formal surname, but changed it to a more intimate title between the two. He snorted, took a sip of the tea cup again, and said：
“With your personality, you definitely didn’t come all the way to see me just to bring you this nice travelogue. Is there anything else that you think is important enough for me to know? Say it.”
“Please finish your tea first, Your Majesty.”
General Loren took out the second document and whispered：
“I guess you won't be in the mood for tea after reading this..”
“Then wait a minute, I don’t want to ruin my good mood today because of some sudden and insignificant bad things..”
King Louis nodded, and then spent almost ten minutes chatting with General Loren about interesting things about the battlefield, while finishing his tea and eating a few rose cookies..
After the beautiful and leisurely afternoon tea time was over, he wiped his hands and took the second document..
This document is very short, only a few pages.
After all, it was just a confirmed disaster and a few irresponsible conjectures without evidence..
But the king took it very seriously.
After several minutes, he closed the document, stretched out his hand to rub his brow, and said：
“Capet's report has no evidence, but my mind tells me that it should be true. I believe in my reason, but I also need to ask the opinion of my most trusted general..”
King Louis opens his eyes.
In the depths of those tender, lover-like dark blue pupils shine a touch of coldness and determination..
He turned to look at General Loren. Under the gaze of this lion-like gaze, the half-dwarf general immediately stood up straight and waited for orders..
The king spoke.
But instead of asking General Loren for his opinion on this matter, he asked quite directly.：
“If a conflict breaks out, how much military power would you need to uproot the Ring Tower? I don’t want the worst outcome of this matter to affect the upcoming national reforms..”
“It depends on how long you want the dispute to end.”
The general very carefully told the draft he had prepared along the way, and he reported it in a very organized manner.：
“If you need thunderous means, then I can immediately return to Silver Castle to contact my relative. With the help of the Silver Dwarf Earth Priest and the Gaia Guards, plus the dispatch of all the Old Guards, I can kill him within half a month. The white cliff burned to a white ground！
But I'm afraid you have to be prepared for the majority of the Old Guards to suffer casualties or even be disbanded..
If you can tolerate the end of the war in six months, then I will mobilize the Greene Legion and the Pioneer Legion, plus the assistance of the newly surrendered Wolfsbane Clan.
A three-party attack can erase the Ring Tower from the kingdom without affecting your reforms. At the same time, it will consume the strength of the Wolfsbane Clan and complete the final military reform of the Pioneer Legion..”
“What if I want to go faster?？”
The king touched his beard and said coldly in the sun：
“What if I wanted to end the fight within three days of my scolding reaching White Cliffs? You know, Sir Frederick, the most intolerable thing for me is betrayal. It is like a fire burning my heart, and like a cup of acid burning my stomach, making it difficult for me to sleep or eat..
I want to see the traitors suffer as much as they burden me.”
“Three days.”
General Loren thought about it carefully, and he finally gave the plan and said：
“Then while contacting Silver Castle and using the Wolfsbane Clan, you may need to use your dignity as a king to invite the Winter Wolf Church in the Kingdom of Nordtov to intervene. After all, the only thing that can quickly defeat a group of psionicists is another group of psionicists. After the collapse of the Church of Avalon, we lack the spiritual power of the Kingdom..
But this also means that you need to open the realm of faith in the Plantagenet Kingdom to those Yankees and let their Borean wolves roam freely on the land that belongs to us..
You also know that after the destruction of the Church of Avalon, the spiritual level of the people was like a wasteland, and their poor souls longed for the nourishment of rain and dew..
However, this opening cannot be opened！
Once the Church of the Winter Wolf enters the kingdom, Nordtov will have a stranglehold on us..
After all, there will be a war between the two countries in the future, and that wolf girl. With all due respect, Your Majesty, if you expect the queen who inherited the blood and domineering power of the hero King Boris to surrender on the battlefield, it is better to expect you to conquer with your own male prowess. That young girl who is only 25 years old.
This is much cheaper for you than a war.”
“I'm very happy that you praised my charm, but you want me to regard a 25-year-old girl as a target, which makes me feel that you are mocking me as an old gangster..
Just prepare according to the first plan.”
King Louis dropped the documents in his hand on the table, closed his eyes and whispered：
“I will hand over the command of the Old Guards to you. If the Ring Tower does not give me a satisfactory explanation, then we will leave White Cliff.！
I can totally understand their importance to the kingdom.
But if those psionicists think that their importance allows them to act recklessly, then there is no need for such a stupid force to exist..
If you can’t tell whose owner’s dog is, it’s better to kill it as soon as possible.
Ah, what an unappetizing thing！
I was hoping to be in a good mood this afternoon to listen to noble members of Parliament bickering over petty gains. It would be so much fun, but forget it now..”
The king stood up, and a royal housekeeper immediately came forward to fetch something that had been prepared for his majesty..
A luxuriously decorated and very practical command sword, a national hero medal with the national emblem of the Kingdom of Plantagenet, and a marshal's ceremonial uniform decorated with blue ribbons.
“I wanted to announce this good news to you in a good mood, Sir Frederick, but now I must give you the highest honor as a soldier while sending you into another dangerous battlefield..
I hope you don't blame me for this.”
King Louis handed the command sword to the most trusted general in front of him with both hands, and he said in a deep voice：
“Please continue to fulfill your duties as the King's disciplinary blade, my Marshal Loren..”
“Your Majesty, I am deeply honored by this! Of course, it would be even more perfect if this was a marshal's battle ax that matched the dwarven style..”
General Loren, uh, no, Marshal Loren took the command sword and made a small complaint. Then he saw two royal maids struggling to carry a golden dwarf-style lord's battle ax. The ax is also decorated with blue ribbons.
This made the marshal realize that his Majesty had already arranged everything. He smiled, but then he still said worriedly.：
“Your Majesty, I am not afraid of the war with psionic masters. However, now that the black disaster is coming, maybe”
“It's time for the great enemy to eradicate internal dangers. I need to teach those psionicists a lesson as unforgettable as breaking a bone..”
King Louis waved his hand and said decisively：
“Besides, wouldn't it be possible to fight a war without a psionicist? The fact that the Shardor halflings do not have large-scale psionicists does not prevent those unbelievers from standing on the continent. Their steam technology has become a force that can keep pace with psionic energy, and that power is being grasped by us little by little. in hand.
The Ring Tower must be aware of this fact！
It is they who need the country！
Rather than the country needing them！”
“Yes, Your Majesty！”
Seeing that King Louis had made up his mind, Marshal Loren simply gave a military salute and watched his majesty leave the garden..
He stroked the handle of the marshal's knife, determination flashed in his eyes.
Ha, psionicist.
If you dare to take advantage of dwarves, you will really have to pay the price..
