Blood Dragon

Chapter 260 Lumbago

Of course, in order to complete such an action, it is impossible to simply turn over old scores.Because among other things, when Essien was appointed as the general, the little queen already knew everything about Essien's past.Maybe Her Majesty has left a knot in her heart, but at least she has accepted Essien's behavior.

Some new themes are needed.Ailin rummaged through the pile of documents by himself, and found a document that was given to him before.The document was an anonymous whistle-blowing letter - against General Essien.In this report, the anonymous writer used a large space to describe Essien's crimes in detail.Among them, there is actually only one that can be used as a weapon to attack-that is, Essien did not attack those rebels without compromise.According to the letter, in most cases, Essien used another more tactful method-he reached an agreement with those rebel lords, and the lords handed over their castles, troops and land, and Essien Allow them to take away family property.

An investigative report was attached to the back of the anonymous letter.This is because Eileen took a little time to investigate this matter.The results of the investigation confirmed the correctness of the contents of the report letter.Of course, the accusation of Essien "colluding with the rebel party and plotting wrongdoing" in the report letter can only be laughed off.To put it bluntly, Essien chose a smarter and flexible approach to this matter. To put it worse, he failed to carry out the Queen's will well.

The letter and the related investigative report...well, it was an attacking weapon, but Eileen was sure it wouldn't do much damage.The most likely outcome would be to make the Queen laugh.What's worse, in order to boost the morale of the palace and dispel the doubts of other forces, Essien's victory has repeatedly become a part of Elynn's report materials, and even an important part.

Ailin thought for a while, and put the document back in its original place.

Someone knocked on the door outside.Then the footman appeared in Ellynn's office.

"Your Excellency, there is an urgent matter." The servant reported. "A front-line emergency report from General Essien."

"Oh." Alyn reached out and took the document handed over by the footman.Magical communication was restored as relations between church and court improved.Through the message sent by the magician, the battle situation in the distance can be seen soon.

"This is Essien's report? Well, he defeated Earl Lamas?"

Alyn had received a report before, knowing that Earl Lamas, one of the "rebels", was determined to fight to the end.Of course, Eileen also knew that Earl Lamas had less than a thousand people, no matter what kind of strong city he occupied, he would not be able to hold on for too long.However, Essien did a pretty good job of crushing the resistance of Earl Lamas in such a short period of time.

Essien's letter was very detailed, but Eileen read it very briefly.In short, it was almost the same thing: a few "Queen's loyal subjects" appeared among Earl Lamas's subordinates. They opened the city gate at night and let Essien's troops in.The next thing can be imagined - Essien captured the castle of Earl Lamas without bloodshed.Including Earl Lamas himself, all the people in the castle became captives in their sleep.

However, in a sense, Earl Lamas did not "raise his troops against each other" (because the battle had not yet started), so according to Her Majesty's will, Earl Lamas did not have the death penalty.Based on this, Essien collected his troops and occupied his castle, but released Earl Lamas and his family.

Of course, there is still a part of the letter.That was about the merits of Cleo (Eileen already knew that this guy and Essien were good friends, even close friends).It seems that this Cleo's eloquence is quite good, and he is expected to be a diplomat.

Eileen was about to put this document into the pile of documents on the table, along with a large pile of other reports, but he stopped suddenly.He picked up the letter and flipped through it again, with a smile on his face.

He now has a lethal assault weapon.

He put the letter in the drawer of his desk.There was a lot more to come, because before he could even catch his breath, a bunch of financial reports came in with a spout of footmen.Although Shirley is a commoner woman, she does have some financial talents.Yesterday, the little queen just signed an agreement with Baylor, and Shirley has already produced the relevant preliminary financial budget report today.

Alyn began to look at the materials carefully.Maybe the prime ministers of other countries would avoid such drudgery, but Eileen was not such a person.Military affairs, diplomacy, and finance are the three most critical elements of a country, and Ailin has always had to personally intervene.Especially in terms of finances, due to Her Majesty's capriciousness, she appointed an inexplicable interim finance minister, which made Ailin pay close attention to this, for fear of problems.

It takes about a dozen professionals to work overnight to compile and calculate these financial forms and documents.Ailin wants to understand it alone, and seeing through these things is not an easy task.Fortunately, nothing disturbed him, and after dinner, he finally finished the work.

The woman's reports and forms... were correct, and seemed quite reasonable.To be honest, Ailin would like to find some excuses, because in this way, he might just let that woman go.

Well, perhaps it was because of this talent that Her Majesty chose that person.However, in any case, a commoner woman of humble birth is not suitable for such an important position. This is not just a difference between men and women, but also because of her own size.Eileen has seen many such things in his decades of experience.If it is not a well-educated noble with a noble sense of honor, then it cannot be truly trusted and relied on.Erin was sure of that.

Alyn pulled his thoughts away from these scattered thoughts, and turned to thinking about more realistic and practical issues.That Belleel is indeed a cunning guy... The conditions he proposed were quite harsh, but they were barely accepted.

However, presumably after defeating the invading Chaos Legion this time, the financial problem will become a big problem.In any case, Byron's residual poison has not been completely cleaned up.Those indecent means such as "pre-collection" that he adopted before have become very disgusting things now, and have had a bad effect on the country's finances.It's a pity that Byron was not captured alive, otherwise that daring traitor should have been hanged in public in the square of Falcon City.

And of course that Ashurfat...and Ah Jin!These two guys were corrupt and broke the law, causing millions of dollars in losses to the national treasury in a year.It's a pity that the Queen always misses the grace of saving her life, and now she is obsessed with Ashuruffat because of the chaos magic. This matter can only be put aside for the time being... Fortunately, that guy Ashuruffat is also interested, Knowing that this was the effect of sorcery, he didn't take the opportunity to play any tricks...but he couldn't do any tricks either...he was about to go to the front line...should come back after the influence of sorcery ended.According to the opinions of the priests of the church, this effect can generally last for a few months, but it will never exceed half a year...

However, what happened to the previous financial surplus of tens of millions of Caioli?According to folk rumors, it is the secret treasure of Garunas, the sage of the wilderness...

A knock on the door interrupted Alyn's train of thought.Then, someone walked in.Aileen recognized without any surprise that the other party was the current Governor of Falcon City.

"Your Excellency," the governor said while wiping his sweat. "I understand clearly. General Beler's day... is in that 'Red Rose'."

"Is that the shop on Flower Street?"

"Yes, it looks like a tavern on the surface, but it's actually a whore-gathering... whore's tavern!"

"Flower Street is full of that kind of shop. I want to know what Belle is doing there? Don't tell me he went there to find women! He is famous for his cleanliness!"

"Well, Mr. Prime Minister, according to my detailed investigation...General Beler...he seems to have a hot fight with the shop owner...Miss Rodia..."

"Rodia? Is that Rodia?" Alyn almost jumped up. "What's going on? Are you sure? Tell me the details! I need to know everything!"

……

Robin didn't see Bellel again until after dark.

Speaking of which, Baylor may have made relevant preparations long ago, because five of his guards are extremely similar to him in terms of size.Coupled with Robin's cooperation, it's not too difficult to play Jin Chan's trick of escaping its shell.Of course, this was also because of Baylor's special status, and the other party couldn't use those direct methods to confirm it.

"Master General, you are finally back." Robin heaved a sigh of relief.Although he didn't know where Baylor was going, he at least knew what Baylor was going for.

It's kind of messy and inexplicable, but it doesn't seem like that's a bad thing.At least from Robin's point of view, he has no objection to having a woman beside Belleur.

Baylor looked a little listless and exhausted. "Robin, I'm going to get a good night's sleep...I'm leaving tomorrow morning, have you contacted the army yet?"

"I have communicated with the people in the church, and all the troops are marching as planned... Besides, I got the battle report from the front, Gaohua City reported that Chaos is attacking..." Robin was about to tell the general the news he just got, but Unexpectedly, Baylor patted his shoulder with his hand and walked over.

"I really don't have the strength to listen now... I'll tell you in detail when I'm on the road tomorrow."

Robin was dumbfounded for a while, he had never seen his general like this.In the past, when he got the military information on the front line, no matter what Beryl was doing, or whether the military situation was urgent or important, Beryl would always listen to all the reports quietly, and maybe he could ask a few questions.

"By the way, let the church arrange our route... remember to ask for that kind of free arrangement." Baylor stopped suddenly and turned around.

"Yes, General... are you... alright?"

"...a bit of back pain..." Belle shook his head, walked into the residence, and disappeared soon after.
