Vol 8 Chapter 854: Justice and sacred

"Magic journals don't need to clarify anything, they are still published the way we did before."
Roddy ordered Camilla: "Throw a few more bombs on the subject of elemental cycle changes to maintain popularity. Professional journals are not gossip newspapers. Doing their job is the most important thing."
Roddy originally thought that the Red Dragons were just making a stand, but never thought that the other party would support the royal family headed by Charles II with such strength.
"Why do they support a waste like this?"
Holding the information in his hand, Roddy couldn't help asking and said in the final analysis, there was indeed some imbalance in his heart: the agreements signed by the Frost Dragons and themselves seemed to be quite a lot, but there were very few really useful contents. Superficial article. At the moment, the five dragons send magic to others, but they also built a magic tower for the royal family and gave some financial support. Victor's actions were compared with Queo's, and it seemed a bit stingy.
If it weren't for Kardashian standing firmly on his side, Roddy would almost think he had been played by Victor from the beginning. However, Kardashian was also a lot of sullen for this ... The Dragons are also good-faced anyway. At first, she could not see the "Ice Dragon Wings" given by Barsta to Roddy. Roddy a personal necklace. But now Kuo's behavior is obviously playing Victor's face, so the young lady is upset about this. If it is not enough, she will definitely choose to make trouble in the palace.
"You can see the essence of Charles II, then the Dragons should be clearer. But to put it another way, because they are waste, they can better control it ..."
Camilla sat beside and whispered to Rody, who has been eating and eating all day long with these days. The details of preparing for a war are tedious and maddening. This is not the small-scale wars that Roddy has fought before, but the real "war" is just the gold coin budget consumed. If you take the fiscal revenue of last year, three years will add up to fill this hole.
When the cannon rang, the gold was in danger. In the past, hundreds of people's wars gave Rodi a deep understanding of this. However, when the order of magnitude rose to "thousands of people", this number began to increase exponentially.
All of a sudden, Roddy faced various problems: the support of the Dragons made Elson's reputation plummet, the morale of the people was frustrated, and various war mobilizations were negatively treated by many nobles below; and the magician who was temporarily blocked from the news Once we know this, no one can guarantee that there will be evil things such as mutiny; not to mention the financial tension, not to mention the shortcomings of Roddy's inexperience in the war: he thought that one million gold coins was enough to support this. After three months of fighting in the war, Cocamilla accurately calculated that the actual amount needed may be more than five million ...
Of course, this can't be blamed on Roddy. If there were no Red Dragons suddenly supporting the royal family, the cost would be reduced by half. But the reality is always more complicated than planned. After seeing today's news, Roddy involuntarily thought of shrinking for the first time ...
Perhaps this war should not be waged?
As soon as this idea appeared, it made Roddy spread as if he had found a retreat in his heart. Even though Roddy once had become a deity moment, but all that happened was that he did n’t have the experience of truly holding power and deciding the lives and deaths of people in the sky, and he had never experienced such severe moral torture in his heart ... Therefore, he now Feeling tormented.
All kinds of ideas kept tumbling, and Roddy rubbed his cheeks twice, tired, "Camilla, give up now"
He didn't finish talking, and a square spar in the room suddenly began to flash, a reminder of the Helsinki Magic Tower in Hollier City for long-distance communication.
Although Roddy's words were interrupted, Camilla heard what he meant. The guardian got up to start the communication and said, "You stop, but they won't stop."
Reaching out to hold the spar, Camilla stopped her body, although she wanted to share the trouble for Roddy, but in this case, she did not have the right to make a decision on his behalf, because in Elson and even Everta, Roddy was Absolutely the backbone. This must not be shaken.
"Om ..."
The spar was connected to the energy of the magic tower after a short signal correction, and a polished smooth crystal wall next to the obelisk showed the beauty of Edith. The high elf saw Camilla and smiled: "The energy matrix here is stable and should not be cut off halfway like last time."
"Tough work for you, Lord Arcanist."
Camilla is very respectful to Edith, because this spell that is thousands of miles away and can display the picture in real time makes her admire from the heart, and she has a sense of awe every time she uses it.
But Roddy is obviously used to this kind of "video chat". He sorted out his sorrowful expression, worked hard to adjust his state, and got up and said, "Is there a new situation?"
"Duke Sally has something to discuss with the Prime Minister."
As a "subordinate", Edith is commensurate with his positions on both Roddy and Sally, and everyone here is used to it. Edith disappeared from the picture, and Sally in a long white dress changed from blur to clear. Her face was not good-looking. She held a stack of parchment paper in her hand and did not shiver. You intend to unify the country while you are in the situation, what are you going to do? "
At the previous Cabinet meeting, three of the other five members expressed support for the war, and two expressed concern about the outcome. But now if we reconvene, it is estimated that everyone will not be optimistic.
Thinking of this, Roddy hesitated for a moment, and still expressed his thoughts: "To be honest, I am considering whether to continue to take the initiative to attack ... Is it better to defend with the terrain ..."
He kept his eyes down as he talked, and to this day, Roddy understood that this was not realistic. When the military order was issued, it was not withdrawn, otherwise it would not be a child's play? Tossing like this is bound to have a huge impact on cohesion, so what he said is not so much a matter of consultation, but of waiting for enlightenment.
Sally naturally understood Rody's character. This guy used to do everything decisively tightly, but now suddenly it's repeated, apparently because of "gains and losses." Every time you deposit 1 gold coin, there will be no fluctuations in your heart. It is natural to feel nervous and excited to bet all the gold coins, and to borrow a thousand usury to place a thousand ... the average person cannot bear this pressure at all.
"Every war will die, Roddy."
Although Sally was young, she was eventually the daughter of the Duke. The Duke of Angmar has never avoided his attitude towards war, so Sally understands the indescribable ... fear of Roddy's heart now.
"After all ... this involves the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. If it was killing orcs or undead, I wouldn't hesitate, but ..." Roddy raised his gaze and looked a little hesitant: "Why the of Queo to intervene ... and still coerce All other dragons are involved. This is no longer a normal war. At this step, I even suspect that he will directly send dragons to the battlefield! "
Thinking of this, Roddy couldn't help but use a fist hammer on the table. "I still took it for granted. I thought they would never take part in human wars in person. But I am not a dragon, after all, I do n’t know what they really want what."
Sally watched Roddy deny herself like never before and couldn't help but clenched her fingers, but she bit her lip ~ EbookFREE.me ~ continued: "But you know now ... they want to be obedient! We have no one Willing to do it, isn't it? The nature of this war has been changed by the Dragons, but this is the reason we must continue to fight! "
"Why did my father die? He did it for the land and the people he loved ... whether he wins or loses, he has to do it. And there has never been a hundred-percent war in this world. Roddy, this sentence is for Charles II It works. "
Sally reached out and held the crystal wall, seeing that she wanted to hold Roddy's hand. The latter tried to take a few deep breaths, and after restoring, he also put his hands on the crystal wall. The two hands seemed to be stuck together. Although he could not feel the temperature, Rody's mood improved significantly.
"Rody, when he was very young, my father used to take the Titus Knights out to fight. At that time I was afraid he would not come back, crying and begging him to stay, but he still left ..."
Through the crystal wall, Sally stared at Roddy's eyes: "When he left, he and I said this sentence: 'No one wants to solve the problem through war, but when the war has to be waged, the war It is just, and when weapons are our only hope, weapons are sacred. '"
"War has never been a beast. Talent is."
