Chapter 346 Oath and Promise?
Saint Laurent, Place Royale.

This is the largest square in Saint-Laurent City, where official ceremonies, announcements, speeches... and other large-scale ceremonies are held here. Tosh wants to be here to attract the attention of all the people and announce the news that Vega is not in the city.

That's right.

No need for evidence, no need for witnesses, as long as he directly tells the truth as his 'consultant', everyone will be able to believe it.As a real authority, those who are highly respected and respected, have no qualifications to deny his words.

Of course, it is not impossible to deny him.

That is to have Shia and Vega stand in front of him.

But is it possible?

Who in the entire army didn't know that this was Menno and Yiluo's bluffing method. If Vega and Siya were still in the city, they could just stand up and shout, and there was no need for some officers to spread rumors.

Saint Laurent City, no one can stop him.

On the way, he ordered his subordinates to issue announcements to attract the army and civilians of the dynasty, and at the same time ordered the navy in the imperial army to take the opportunity to support him and take control of the military when the overall situation was settled.

When everyone expects it, it is unstoppable.

As a consultant, he is very good at playing such small tricks.

----

City Lord's Mansion, Commander's Office.

Yi Luo, who had just learned about the movement in the city, came in immediately to report: "General, the fish has been hooked. Everything is as you expected. There are indeed some ghosts in the city who are hindering our plan."

"Has this inner ghost jumped back?"

"The general is wise."

Yiluo smiled: "You must not have guessed that this ghost is neither a civilian nor a soldier of the dynasty, but the most powerful person in our army besides you - Staff Officer Tosh."

Veigar didn't show a surprised expression.

He looked at Yi Luo and said, "Go and tell His Highness Shia to let her go to the Royal Plaza with us, let's give the lovely Adviser a surprise."

"Yes, General."

After Yi Luoying came, he asked with some doubts: "My lord, please forgive me for asking, you don't seem to be surprised that Staff Tosh is behind this incident?"

"Isn't that natural?"

The first copy of Vega said in a tone of voice: "Excluding the factor of the kingdom's spies, then this matter is not Tosh. He may have died in the hands of the mastermind. the best choice."

"Now that he is not dead, the result is obvious."

Vega paused and said: "It can be seen that he is an arrogant person. I have ignored his opinions several times and insisted on going my own way. I'm afraid he has a grudge. Now that I'm not in the city, if he doesn't catch me With this opportunity, he is not worthy of claiming to be a professional consultant with a professional background."

Yi Luo suddenly realized.

He glanced at Veigar in admiration, then left the room to meet Shia after saluting.

Vega waited for Yiluo to leave before showing a cruel smile.

In fact, Veigar had wanted to get rid of this staff officer a long time ago, but he never had the chance. Now that the opportunity was presented to him, Veigar certainly would not waste a precious opportunity.

As for why you want to get rid of this staff officer?
His delay at the critical moment is only a secondary reason, the real reason is——

From Veigar's point of view, there was no need for such creatures as 'staff officers' in his troops.

The so-called staff.

It's just a group of 'professionals' who are more than conservative and less aggressive. Their professional knowledge makes them not easy to fail, but it also limits them within the fence.

So Vega led Shia towards the Royal Plaza.

The square is huge and can accommodate at least 20 people to watch the ceremony.

When Vega accompanied Shia to the square under the secret protection of the guards, Tosh had already boarded the high platform, and with the blessing of the magic loudspeaker device, announced to the public that Vega and Shia were not in the city.

"Subjects of the dynasty, soldiers of the empire."

Tosh shouted loudly: "You heard me right, our supreme commander, Vega Carleni, and your spiritual leader, Sia Saint Laurent, have already used you as bait for the Royal Army, and have shamelessly abandoned us to return home. To the west bank of the kingdom."

"Now."

Tosh slapped the podium angrily, and the voice of teeth sour shook everyone's eardrums: "Our Supreme Commander Vega, Princess Sia Saint Laurent, has enjoyed a good day on the West Bank drinking wine and eating steak, And what about us?"

"We are for the dignity of the royal family."

"We are for the glory of the soldiers of the Empire."

"We are using our lives and blood to build an unbreakable wall of Saint Laurent."

Tosh's expression was extremely ferocious, and he shouted: "Excuse me!"

"What are we fighting for?"

"In order to abandon our royal family?"

"For a commander who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Or for a foolish order?"

After Tosh's voice fell, the noise in the square resounded through the sky.

"The royal family has abandoned us, why are we still fighting here?"

"Shameless traitors, the royal family of the dynasty are a group of cowards who betray the glory of their ancestors."

"I don't believe it, how could General Veigar abandon us?"

"He said that he would lead us to victory. He said that he would defeat the 20 Royal Army."

"Lies, those are all lies perfunctory to us by the shameless superiors."

"..."

The civilians of the dynasty and the soldiers of the empire began to agitate. This was a sign of a collapse of faith. Fortunately, the Royal Army did not launch an attack at this time, otherwise the city of Saint Laurent would be destroyed.

Tosh watched it all.

When everyone's faith had completely collapsed and their eyes were filled with confusion, Tosh continued to speak.

"Everyone."

Tosh's voice attracted everyone's attention again: "Please tell me why you are confused? I'll say it again, why do you lower your proud heads?!"

Tosh's voice echoed: "Since the royal family has abandoned the glory and the general has broken his oath, from now on we will no longer fight for the dignity of the royal family, nor will we fight for the general's orders, we will only fight for ourselves... Fight for your life."

"Alive!"

"That's right, it's alive!"

"We're going to fight to survive!"

When Tosh's speech ended, the pre-arranged sailors began to take the lead in booing.

"Master Staff, please lead us to live."

"My lord, please lead us to victory."

"Master Staff, we have to fight for ourselves."

"..."

Affected by the navy, more and more people joined in, and the whole situation has been controlled by Tosh.

Tosh pressed his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Thank you for your kindness, but I, Tosh, am only a small staff officer, and I really can't take on this big responsibility. I just can't bear to see you being deceived by these shameless betrayers. Only came out to expose the truth, please don’t mention this matter again.”

As soon as Tosh declined, the navy continued to exert its strength.

So after several performances, Tosh pretended to be reluctant to take over the coveted command.

Just follow the command.

Then he would immediately replace the city defense with recruits from the dynasty, and then he took the opportunity to leave Saint Laurent with the soldiers of the empire when the night was dark and the wind was high, and headed north to break through.

As for leading the dynasty to victory?

Don't talk about it, he is a soldier of the empire, not a self-sacrificing idiot like Veigar.

He obtained the command only to sell the army and civilians of the dynasty, using them as bait to attract the kingdom's army, and he took the opportunity to lead the imperial soldiers to successfully break through.

Vows and promises?
In the eyes of the superiors, it is just a convenient tool, and only a fool would choose to believe this ridiculous excuse.
