Blood Dragon

The second white tenth festival is in place

"Robin, it looks like you've finally gotten the hang of it... No, it should be said that you're finally starting to prepare for your last lesson as a general." Belleur replied with a smile. "This lesson is called: Coordinating the internal forces of the army. Haha... Actually, that's not the case. It's just a simple sentence: internal fighting. Or it's called fighting for power. Of course, it can also be called intrigue... In short, it's good to understand the meaning."

"Master General, I don't know much about..."

"Let's be clear first, how much do you know?"

"I think that under the current circumstances, Parry's behavior is extremely unwise. It is not good for the country or for himself. You told me before..."

"He's making a dangerous attempt," Baylor interrupted Robin. "Tell me, why did he come so far out of the city to meet me?"

"Of course you want to have a good relationship with you, General?"

"What's the purpose of having a good relationship?" Belleur laughed. "Isn't it to repay my old friendship with his father? Speaking of which, there is no special friendship between me and Rafa."

"For..." Robin had a vague feeling, but couldn't express it.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken," Baylor said. "He wants to win me over, to try to evade and fight against Aishuruffat...or to evade against the people sent from Falcon City."

"It won't do him any good!" cried Robin. "Only Chaos can benefit from our internal struggle. There should be no such fool in the world! Unless he is a Chaos believer..."

"Hahaha... Robin, you're thinking too directly." Belle laughed out loud. "Yes, this is a very stupid act. Doing this kind of thing in the current situation of the enemy may have the tragic consequences of annihilating the entire army. However," he emphasized the last two words. "If he succeeds, do you know what will happen? What I mean is that on the one hand, he defeated Chaos, and on the other hand, he emptied the general, and took all the credit for himself... If that's the case..."

"But the possibility of success is too low! No reasonable person would do this."

"One risk, one benefit. This is a very favorable statement. You are right, Parry does this, the possibility of success is really low, but there are benefits along with the risks. This benefit— —Or he thinks this benefit is worth taking such a risk.” Belle shook his head. "From this point of view, he is not a good general, at least he is not a pure general."

"what should we do?"

"What should I do? Of course I'm standing on the sidelines to watch the excitement." Belleer replied. "I'm more worried about what I saw today. Robin, if we had seen those two corpses earlier today, the corpses hadn't decayed to that point... What do you think would happen? You can assume that a group of people lack experience in fighting chaos What happens to recruits when they see a dead body."

"If ordinary soldiers see the dead, they should try to bring the body back to the camp and report it to their superiors," Robin replied.This was also his first thought when he saw the corpse.

"Well, if the corpse was found earlier...and then brought back to the camp by ignorant recruits...the matter might be difficult." Belleer replied. "It's an old trick of Nurgle disciples, but... after all, it's been almost ten years. You can't expect every team to have experienced veterans."

"My lord general, what you said before...is it true?"

"It's not necessarily true or false, it's just a speculation." Baylor replied. "However, these two deserters who have become like this... Actually, I don't think it's necessarily a wizard lurking nearby, maybe they just used some kind of filthy magic item to achieve this effect... In short, everything must be careful. If that chaotic sorcery is really as powerful as the church fears, maybe... things will get out of hand."

……

Ellynn paced up and down the room that belonged to the Prime Minister.

To be honest, after moving back to the palace, the office conditions almost jumped a notch immediately.His original office (that is, the one in the temporary palace) was so small that even a horse could not turn around.But here is enough to accommodate a four-wheeled carriage to maneuver freely.Not only that, there is also a lounge dedicated to the prime minister next door to this office, which is very suitable for taking a break after being tired.

Beside him, to be more specific, the person sitting on the sofa in the office is the chief executive of the palace, Skadra.As usual, Skadra was wearing his black tuxedo, his face expressionless, only a pair of glasses watching Alyn walking around.

"Lord Skadra," finally, Ailin finally stopped. "Excuse me, but I think... your idea... is a bit inappropriate."

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"In any case, that Ashurfat was just...before he came to Falcon City, he was just a squire and noble. You understand, the so-called 'squire and noble' is just a euphemism, which means he is just a commoner! "

"Master Prime Minister, I think you may have made a mistake. Ashulfat is indeed of noble origin, and he is one of the knights. His father is a knight of Ryan, a man with a fief, a real card knight."

"You know, it's just a theory. There's no evidence of his parentage..."

"Do you think that a man who is qualified to make a marriage contract with our Griffin family...and two sisters at the same time...will have an unknown origin?"

"I don't mean to, but...even if that's true, he's just a knight! And we're talking about a queen's marriage!"

"He's an earl now," Scaldera reminded. "An unquestionable nobleman. Maybe the earl and queen may not be enough, but isn't our marriage still a few years away? Maybe he will go further, won't he?"

Eileen sighed. "You know, although I am the prime minister, I don't have much say in this matter... so why ask for my opinion? You... or Her Majesty the Queen is in charge of the royal family's marriage."

"You are too modest. In any case, your opinion is very important to me."

This is what it means to hold a chicken feather as an arrow.Alyn doesn't have any reason to object to this decision now, even if there is, it's the kind that can't be put on the table.But if he doesn't object now, then in the future, Scadella will openly and aboveboard take out the hat of "Prime Minister Ellynn also expressed his approval" and deduce others.Alyn knew very well that once faced with this cap, most of the opponents would choose to shut up.

"I still don't feel right. You know, he's engaged to two of your nieces . . . "

"Hehe, if it's a 'marriage', your concerns are completely correct, and I totally agree. But if it's just a 'marriage contract'..." Skadra let out two "hehe" laughs. "I don't think you need to be particularly concerned at all."

"Her Majesty is still young after all..."

"So we're talking about a future thing, aren't we?"

Alyn did not expect that Skadra would suddenly bring up this matter at this juncture.Because of his lack of preparation, he found it difficult to resist Skadra's aggressiveness.

"The future is unpredictable, who knows what will happen?" Alyn replied. "With my liberty, I think, Lord Scaldera, we can discuss this matter later."

"It's true that there's no need to go into details, but if we talk about intentions, I don't think it's too early to talk about it now." Scaldera made it clear that he wanted to make things clear, which made Alyn feel very embarrassed.

"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Ai Linn had to resort to a magic weapon.

"Oh, it's just an intention, what's the need for careful consideration?" Skadra was still as calm as usual, but he was as tenacious as steel and refused to relax. "Do you think Earl Ashrufat... is suitable to be the queen's husband?"

"This..." Eileen wanted to push back, but it was very difficult for him to do so.

"Her Majesty has expressed a clear intention..."

"That's because she was affected by the chaos magic." Alyn blurted out.

"That's just a possibility. At least for now, Her Majesty the Queen may be very attached to Earl Ashuruffat. Now the question is, is Ashuruffat really suitable? If not, what should we do?"

This old thing is probably trying to get serious!Alyn groaned in her stomach.That Ashurfat is just your niece and son-in-law, not your illegitimate son, is it worth working so hard for him?And if he marries the Queen, he and you are not even related.I really don't know what's going on in your head!

I want to return to thinking, but I can't say it.Alyn could only continue to pace up and down, but couldn't speak.

"By the way, have you consulted other people's opinions? For example, our acting Chancellor of the Exchequer?" Alyn finally thought of a trick.

"Master Prime Minister, to be honest, I have already contacted many people." Scadella replied. "Everyone's attitude towards this matter... Well, there is not much opposition. As for Shirley, there is no need to worry."

"Oh why?"

"Miss Shirley explained her position to me. If the marriage contract between Ashuruffat and my two nieces fell through, then there is no need for her to get involved in this matter. And that marriage contract, as I just said Same, it's just a marriage contract, it's not a big problem."

This old guy... what on earth does he want?

Alyn thought for a while.But this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface-at least he can't see that Skadera has any interest in this matter.That's right, Ashurfat used to be his old subordinate—but it seems that the old subordinate became the queen's husband, and it didn't seem to be of any benefit to Skadra himself.Of course, Eileen also believed in Skadra's loyalty, but this matter... Well, it has nothing to do with loyalty.Because of loyalty or not, it doesn't mean that Skadra is working so hard on this matter.

In the end, Eileen decided to show the most correct attitude.

Skadra is not the type to ignore.Although everyone knows that the position of the chief executive of the palace does not participate in the imperial meeting, everyone also knows that this position is critical and subtle. In a sense, it has great power and is enough to influence the politics of a country.And Scadella is far less harmless than he appears.At least it is certain that Skadra has strong political allies.
