Chapter 535: [1st Strongest]

"I have no objection to killing him. \ '\'! A mention for a reading After listening to Tegel's killing of his wife, Sophie's expression was very cold:" Your decision is correct. If you really plan to recruit this guy, I will also try to persuade you to dispel the thought and kill this guy. There is nothing wrong with your judgment. For such a rich future, there is no value in soliciting and killing a guy like a loved one. Such a person will never understand loyalty. He would not hesitate to sell anyone before interest. "
Speaking of which, Sophie's tone changed slightly: "" But! What I want to say is that killing him is right, the wrong way is. You can do this more skillfully. Now you kill him, but others may not really know why, especially when we are occupying, as soon as we occupy Notting, we will kill Tegel, which will easily cause panic among the people. "
"So wrong?"
"I said, your decision is correct, this guy is a disaster, you can't stay. But before you kill him, you can do more tricks." Sophie smiled slightly: "Well, now that I'm here, this Let me take over something, and I will do good aftercare. Well, I need some manpower. Some of the servants in Tegel's house let people control it and give it to me ... "
Xia didn't have much interest in these things, but just handed them over to others, and then immediately concerned about the most important issue.
"Where Hastings ..." How is it now? "
Sophie glanced at Xia, hesitated a little, and said, "To be honest, I ..." "
"Oh?" Xia smiled. "What else are you not sure about?"
"Of course." Sophie replied quickly: "My responsibility is to assist you in handling the problem, but I am not responsible for the decision. I just tell you my analysis and judgment, and you can refer to it."
After a pause, Sophie's expression became serious: "I have to see him, Hastings."
Xia didn't show much doubt: "It's normal, the family is up ..." If it can be easily seen through, it won't become Odin Valkyrie. "
Charya stood up, and after taking a few steps in the room, frowned, "What is his request?"
Sophie told Xia ’s experience at Hastings, including the content of the conversation. After listening, Xia ’s expression did not relax, but she looked more dignified.
"He said ..." You should understand what he wants. "Sophie smiled bitterly, and then took a deep look at Xia:" Obviously, my lord, you and this Valkyrie Odin seem to have some unknown relationship? "
"This is not what you should know." Charlie shook her head.
"Well, I will stick to the position of a subordinate." Sophie said lightly: "You are the boss, you have the final say. Since there are some things you don't want others to know, then I won't ask more. The problem I worry about is actually It's simple: Do you think he can be trusted? "
Charlie thought for a moment with her eyes closed, then he opened her eyes and smiled: "for now" believable. "
What does Hastings want?
Others don't know, but Xia understands.
That guy, his own "brother", all he wants is to kill the Byzantine royal family! Come for a complete revenge!
But is his own philosophy the same as him?
of course not.
Kill the Byzantine royal family ... "Well, if it was the Emperor of Zizi, his life or death, Xia Ya, would not care.
However, don't forget, Tu Yuan is preparing to marry a poor worm, but that is the princess of the Byzantine royal family. Bloodly speaking, they are also people of the Byzantine royal family.
Hastings' ideal is to annihilate the Byzantine royal family, then Hastings will stand on the opposite side of the guardianship of the entire Byzantine Empire, including Adrik and others ... "
"It's really difficult." Xia Ya smiled bitterly.
Hastings, Black Flag Army, this will be a hot potato in his hands.
"Soothing it for the time being, isn't the result of your negotiations a mercenary way? Let's do it first." Xia also couldn't think of a better way for the time being.
However, it can be determined that, in any case, the Black Flag Army is a very powerful force, and there will always be some benefits in its own hands.
Sophie looked at Charya: "I have an idea."
"what?"
... "Rhoderia, El Salvador." The chief of staff smiled slightly, exposing white teeth.
Charlie immediately began to think.
How Salva ... "
After the four military regions in the north were calmed down, then, the area expanded, the army under control, and the population became larger and larger, and at the same time, more and more enemies faced.
The four military districts that bordered on me have all been calmed down. Then, the Tema military district that borders on myself will grow more and more ... "
The most powerful of them is undoubtedly the guy from El Salvador.
The Rodria Military District, bordering Notting, settled Notting, and then directly collided with the front of El Salvador. The 10,000 reinforcements sent by El Salvador solved Rheinhardt, so what next?
The second war? Seeking El Salvador?
From a military perspective, war is not a problem. After pacifying the four northern military regions, Xia ’s strength is unprecedentedly strong. If war starts, he is absolutely confident of solving El Salvador.
But politically, this is unclear.
He did not have the ability to eat El Salvador.
Winning a war is one thing, but completely eating the other is another.
The four military regions in the north were settled. Large tracts of new land, population, and territory need to be controlled. They need to promote trusted people to control these places. They need to soothe the mind, calm down the place, and after the war ... " Wait.
After all, Xia ’s Northern Army Group is a freshman group. The number of people that Xia can really trust is not enough and there are not enough people to use it. Laying down the four military regions is temporarily his limit. If he is too greedy, Even if he hit a new place, he didn't have the right person to take over.
His group, which has just established preliminary cohesion, is not suitable for swallowing too much cake immediately.
"El Salvador will not sit and wait for death, he will find a way to trouble us." Xia Ya muttered to himself: "Then let's get him some trouble first, don't let him sit idle."
"Same as I thought." Sophie smiled happily: "So ..." Let the Black Banner ... "Go down."
※※※
In the early morning, it was hazy.
Winter is approaching. The cloudy day in Osgiriya has been going on for several days. On days without sunshine, the weather is too humid and cold. Some people who are not in good health have begun to wear thick leather jackets to protect themselves from the cold.
The square in front of the palace is empty, and the nearby streets have been martialized. No more pedestrians will pass by here. The gate of the palace is closed and the Royal Army still maintains the city defense of the palace. It still looks solemn, but in fact it has already shown some decadence.
Everyone knows that the core of Oswego's power is no longer here. At the heart of the new power is the military.
The Ministry of Military Affairs has now completely taken over all city defense, army, logistics, internal affairs, etc.
Everything, all power, has now been transferred to that person.
Adrik, the marshal of the empire, commanded all military and political powers at home and abroad-such a position that has never had a courtier who has such great power throughout the establishment of the Byzantine Empire!
Nowadays, although the emperor emperor is still the supreme existence of the empire, such "superior" only exists in name.
The city defense of Osgilia is firmly in the hands of the city guards. The Central Army has entered the city and is stationed near the military headquarters, and some are stationed in the port area.
It turned out that the private army of the nobles of the imperial capital had been disarmed by the club and concentrated next to the large camp of the Central Army-a nominal defense, but everyone knows that the private army of these nobles was actually If there were any changes, the Central Army would completely kill them without hesitation.
The Emperor seems to have finally entered the "military control," "Adriatic, the guardian of Oswego, has control of all power, but in fact ..."
The situation in Osgilia is not moving in a good direction.
"What about the Southern News?"
Adrik raised his head, the scars on his face were scarred, his eyes were anxious, and his eyes were covered with red blood.
"What more can you say, keep talking about it." Ruhr was grinning bitterly: "Our teacher won't be alone."
"He knows the situation better than we do. And ..." From the point of view, he even has an advantage over us. "Adriatic shook his head.
Indeed, the situation is not good.
Oscarian mutiny, Adrik won the highest power, but the South is still under the control of the Duke of Minas, and even the situation is worse than a few months ago.
After the mutiny, the Duke of Minas in the South had completely cut off his relationship with the Imperial City, and his Southern Poetry Army had defeated the largest of the Southern rebels.
The biggest rebel leader in the south, called "Terror Ivan", has been wiped out, and Minas has calmed the South at an alarming rate-this can confirm the previous Ruhr's present situation. The southern rebellion has Mina at all. Shadow of Duke of Wales.
This old and spicy teacher walked in front of his disciples at every step.
Adrik was appointed Marshal of the Empire, commanded all military and political affairs both inside and outside, and issued an order in the name of the emperor to recall the Duke of Minas ... "
However, the Duke of Minas in the south ignored it. The southern conquest he controlled was able to calm down the last rebellion in the south as quickly as possible, but for the order passed by the imperial capital, he put on a pair of words The "do not suffer" position, for the imperial capital to recall his imperial order, he just wrote "the battle situation is urgent and has to resign."
Of course, this kind of writing is just a matter of doing things.
What made Adrik even more uncomfortable was that the Duke of Minas quickly calmed down the rebellion in the south, annihilated the last rebellion, and captured the rebel leader, the "terrorist Ivan", and cut off his head. Then he sent someone back to the emperor to ask for credit.
The credit is strictly in accordance with the statutes of the empire. There are official documents submitted to the military, and there is a reply to the emperor ... "
However, the imperial capital, Adrik, had to hold his nose to recognize it, and then awarded the Duke of Minas with a commendation in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Adrik couldn't help it ... "He had to do it.
The Duke of Minas also wrote the book again with great interest, thanking the Ministry of Military Affairs for his awards, meanwhile, said that the South had just settled the place and the rebellion's sins were in chaos. In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, he will continue to stay in the south In order to completely wipe out the remnants of the rebels ... "
Both sides are tacitly keeping the peace in face.
Everyone knows that this is not the time to tear your face.
However, the situation began to show in the direction of the Duke of Minas.
Adrik was in a bad situation, and he knew it very well, and Ruhr was very distressed.
The Duke of Minas posed a group of leaders outside, holding himself to protect himself, occupying the site in the south, and fighting against the Imperial Court. And Adrik didn't have much to do with him.
If you use strong force to break the face with the south, then ... "Only sending troops to the south to conquer Minas, all the way, but this road must not go!
Hughes in the Armenian military area stood by and watched coldly. If the Emperor sent troops south, the poisonous snake would show his tusks without hesitation.
But if the Duke of Minas is allowed to leave the south and continue to send troops north to attack Hughes ... "
Adrik can be sure that once his army is pulled out of the capital, the Duke of Minas will not stay in the south! He will definitely return to the capital with the rebels in the south, and then take over all power!
Ruhr once made a fierce move: "Let's go north to rebel! With the Emperor Garcia on the expedition, even if the Duke of Minas took the opportunity to make troubles behind him, even if he returned to Osgilia, he would only get an empty city. We have the Emperor in our hands ... "
The idea was fierce enough, but Adrik immediately dispelled Ruhr's illusions.
It's not Adric's pedantic, but at this time, Adrik showed a more sober observation than Ruhr!
"The teacher has betrayed the empire." Adrik calmly analyzed: "Even if we take the Emperor's Highness to the north together, then the teacher will immediately take the opportunity to take Osgilia behind us ..." Then ... "He will probably Go further and do even more! For example, after occupying the capital and taking away our base camp, we will do something in the rear to trap us at the front .... "If we accidentally lose the battle at the front, the army will fall ... "Even if we die on the front line, or go ..." Her Majesty the Emperor himself died on the front line, and the teacher was afraid that he would be happier. At that time, if the emperor died outside, the teacher might be in the capital, and he would be embraced by his subordinates and immediately crowned as the new emperor! "
This is definitely not ridiculous!
The Duke of Minas has absolute prestige, decades of connections in the Empire's Erhai Lake, prestige, and a wide range of doors in the army ... "
If the emperor died on the front line and the royal family did not have an heir, he would be able to direct a scene of being "supported and crowned" by his subordinates.
No North Expedition or South Expedition, the situation seems to be so stalemate here.
However, the stalemate in this situation is still bad for Adrik!
Don't forget ... "One of the important reasons why Osgiriya can continue to adhere to the rebels in the north: the central empire also controls several counties in the southern part of the empire.
The land in the south was the source of the last wealth tax in the central empire and the last place of the army.
But now, the South was smitten by the Duke of Minas. His Southern Rebel Army took over several counties in the South under the name of the Rebellion, and the old Duke's decades of prestige quickly established his authority in the South The local military and political affairs are under his control, and he has enough prestige and connections.
And Oskey to Asia, has completely become a lone city!
Really lonely city!
Although there are still many troops, go to ... "Such a large city, so many troops-" To maintain, the amount of money and food needed is huge!
Oscaria is just a city, and the surrounding area is not large. For a long time, where does the money and food come from?
Leaning by the aid of the sea? After all, it won't last long. The South can no longer count on taxes and money for the rich.
Then every additional day of stalemate, Osgilia's hoarding of supplies and food will consume a little, waiting for the day when the money and food are depleted will be the same!
Adrik and Ruhr are not unaware of their situation.
They just think about how to decide.
They only have one step to go, and once this step is taken, they are gambling on everything, and they have no chance to go back!
Or go south, or go north ... "They're just still making decisions.
But at this time, the news of the north finally reached the capital!
The general of the Imperial Northern Guards District, Grand Duke Nozia Xia Leiming, reported to the Imperial Ministry, and the soldiers in the Guards Districts fought bloodily. They have officially defeated the Northern Rebel Party Bekerp Military District, Newcastle Military District, Boluo Military District, Notting Military District. The four military regions have been completely restored! "
Calm the four Tema military areas in one fell swoop and conquer the land of the four military areas!
The most important thing is that this result comes so quickly! !!
In less than a month, the throne of the Seal of God was eaten by the four military regions in the north! !!
This news immediately caused a shock and uproar in Didu! !!
The new upstart in the north this year, his rise has been unstoppable! !!
Everyone was stunned by the news from the north! Either the Empire camp or the Warlord Party camp!
The new upstart in the north this year, he and his northern army group, from the official birth to today, less than two years before the throne of the seal of God!
Now, this group of the Northern Army has become a behemoth that must be looked up to for any side of the empire!
The Army of the Northern Army has the largest of all forces: the Army-controlled territory has reached an area equivalent to seven counties: Moore ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ Siltan, Corsica, Beckerp Bolo, Newcastle ... "Of course, and Chardonnay's fiefdom, Notts County!
No military region has such a large area! Then there is no southern land controlled by the Duke of Minas in the south!
At the same time, the Northern Army has the strongest and most combative army in the entire Byzantine Empire! The army of the Northern Army broke down the Odin Chixue Army and broke down four military areas within a month! With such a fighting power, no army in the empire can do it!
With the largest territory, the strongest army, Xia Lei Ming in the north, has suddenly become the Byzantine Empire in the current powerful forest ... "The first powerful!
"This Charya ..." gave us a big surprise! "
Holding the report from the Northern Army in his hand, Ruhr smiled strangely.
And Adrik, sitting quietly, stroking his forehead, didn't know what he was thinking about ... "
