Eagle’s Glory

After dealing with the departure of Edgar de Treville and his party, Aigron continued to expand his team as planned, and just a few days later, his ally Panos Chlocotronis arrived. visit.

On the one hand, Panos-Colokotelonis is here to thank the young man for his generous help - not long ago, Aigron transferred millions of francs through Edmond Dantès The money was given to his father, so that his father could breathe and stabilize the morale of the army, and he must thank him personally.

On the other hand, he also tried to find out the specific action plan of the young man next.

According to the consensus reached by him and Theodoros Kolokotronis at the Spartan Conference, he paid to help the Kolokotronis father and son stabilize their finances and let him find a way to restore the precarious financial situation of the Greek government. On the other hand, in return, he enjoys the freedom to act and fight independently, and the Kolokotronis and his sons will not interfere in any of his actions.

However, "non-intervention" means non-intervention, but Kolokotronis and his son still hope to be able to communicate with him and find out his specific intentions.

Panos' request was quickly met with enthusiasm, and Aegron received him immediately.

"Panos, long time no see." As soon as they met, Aigron greeted him kindly.

"Long time no see, Captain." Panos also immediately saluted him respectfully. "I'm here today to thank you for your generosity. Your contribution to us and to the Greek nation will never be forgotten."

"We signed an agreement before, and I will abide by the agreement." Aigron replied, "I hope that the next cooperation, we will be as happy as before."

"I firmly believe so-" Panos replied immediately, "Our father and son will swear to keep our promise to the death. You are our best friend now. No matter what happens, we will never betray."

To this kind of words, Aigron just laughed it off.

Anyone can say nice things, but the actual actions are another matter - he is not looking down on the integrity of the other party, but as the leader of a group, he is naturally obliged to be responsible for the life and death of his subordinates, and no one can guarantee that I will never change my position based on the situation.

What's more, he himself is still keeping in touch with the opponent's opponents... I think the father and son also have their own concerns.

"Okay, let's fight side by side and create brilliance together!" He just replied with a smile.

Then, he changed the subject again, "I think I probably know what else you want to ask me, in order to save you the trouble of thinking about the wording, I will tell you directly, I think I am ready to start my action. now-"

"What?" Panos was stunned for a moment, then immediately exclaimed in surprise. "Really?"

"Of course it's true, do you think I'll lie to you about this kind of issue, or entertain you?" Agron asked back.

Panos could hear the other party's hidden sarcasm, but he was not angry, because the young man gave him the best news at this moment-at this time, although their father and son had managed to maintain the stability of the situation, they were not Under the circumstance of the Turkish and Egyptian coalition forces pressing on the territory, it is still very difficult. Since he is willing to attack from other places to attract the attention of the enemy, it would be better.

Of course, in order to maintain the friendship between allies, he had to say a few scenes.

"Master, I am very grateful for your chivalrous spirit for our nation, but you have done enough for us so far, more than anyone else, and we will never shamelessly urge you, Let you take the risk. You are free to choose the time of your actions, and if I do anything that makes you feel like our father and son are urging you, then I must tell you that I have no intention of doing so, I just want to communicate with you."

"Don't worry, Panos, this is my own decision, I won't blame you." Aigron smiled and shook his head, "Calculate the time, it's been almost a month since I came to Greece, if I come here If there is still no action, I myself will feel guilty for my big words - so, I must meet the fate of the challenge."

Since he came to Greece, Aigron has been gathering supporters from all over the world and recruiting local Greek soldiers. Although a month is not enough for him to put everyone together, he already has an army.

In theory, he could make himself stronger by waiting, but he didn't want to wait any longer - the news of his arrival in Greece has now spread widely, not only in European countries, but now the Turkish sultan and Egyptian pasha must have been Knowing the news of their arrival, they will definitely make targeted decisions for it.

Because of this, Aegron decided to act first and create momentum before they changed their deployment.

As long as the momentum created is big enough, he can prove that he is dedicated to the cause of justice, no matter if he succeeds or not; on the contrary, if he can't catch the tail, then he can only waste time in vain and sigh in the face of the enemies. .

Therefore, Aegron did not wait for the urging of Kolokotronis and his son, and decided to act immediately to fulfill the agreement.

Sure enough, his words also moved Panos very much. This is the result he wants most now, but he didn't expect to get it so easily.

He saluted Aegron again, and looked at the boy with sincere eyes.

"Master, since you have made up your mind, I can only watch you on your journey with gratitude. I wish you and your subordinates all the best!"

"I also wish you all the best." Aegron stretched out his hand to the other side.

"Take care, Your Majesty!"

Panos also held the young man's hand tightly, and under the excitement, Panos called the young man this name. "I will pray to God for your peace."

After sending Panos away, Aegron gathered his confidants together.

"Michelle, is everything ready?" he first asked the commander-in-chief of his army, Michel Ney, Duke of Erchingen. "How's everyone's morale?"

"All preparations have been made, Your Majesty." Michel Ney replied immediately, "both officers and soldiers have high morale, they all want to be enthusiastic and want to win for you, even if they give their lives. No matter what."

"Very good!" Agron nodded. "I can rest assured that……"

Then, he looked at the sea and the sky in the distance, and let out a long sigh, "We have already done the things that we can control ourselves, so let's see the verdict of fate."

Although his tone was very flat, other people present could taste the meaning, and their hearts were mixed, excited and nervous.

"Your Majesty, why don't you stay here, and I'll lead you to the expedition." After a long silence, his cousin Charlie spoke up, "Although I never doubt your victory, things are impermanent, and once a battle is fought, there will always be There are many unanticipated risks...your safety is too important to us, and it's best not to risk any."

"No, no!" Agron shook his head and categorically rejected the other party's proposal. "All their expectations are on me, and that's why I have to be there, otherwise what are they giving their lives for? If I'm not there, and I don't witness their bloodshed, then everything will fall apart, who It can't replace me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Michelle Ney, who admitted silently.

This is indeed a fact. At present, this small army has various sources, and the only reason to maintain the cohesion of the team is to "follow His Majesty Napoleon II and make achievements." His Majesty Napoleon II is a bloodless coward, so team cohesion will quickly collapse.

Therefore, Aigron had to stand by himself.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Charlie couldn't say anything more, "Okay, I didn't think it through, Your Majesty."

"Charlie, don't be discouraged, I can appreciate your painstaking care for the interests of your family... Next, you will go out with me. I hope you will show your courage and add luster to the glory of our family." Aegron said, While looking at his two cousins, "As for Louis, you stay here, communicate with my allies on my behalf, and notify me of all parties' information at any time, understand?"

In the current atmosphere, of course his order would not be questioned, and the two cousins ​​agreed immediately.

"After I set off, Teresa will stay here and take full charge of all matters here, and all the property and materials I have here are also under her control." For today, Aegron has already thought about it many times, so he Take it easy and continue talking. "By the way, I would also like to remind the people who stayed - you must obey Teresa's orders no matter what. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to her, or deliberately delay or even ignore her orders, I will definitely Inflict the most severe punishment on him!"

As he spoke, Aigron looked around at the people present. "Remember?!"

"Yes!" He got a neat response.

"Very good." Agron nodded.

He could see that when Teresa first came to Monte Cristo Island, everyone still had some grudges against the Austrian princess, or at least some doubted whether she had enough willpower to start a business with His Majesty; but in this paragraph After time has passed, Teresa's character and way of doing things have gradually been accepted by everyone, no matter what prejudice they have about Austria, but at least they have accepted the girl's "future mistress" status in their hearts.

After Aegron set off on the expedition, the fleet and treasures he left in Methoni must be entrusted to the most trusted people to manage, and his connections with other places also need to be managed by the most reliable people - this candidate, obviously only special. Lisa is alone.

"Okay, I have finished what I have to say. What we need next is no longer words, but actions." After the explanation, Aigron made his final statement, "All along, you have been acting with actions. To prove your loyalty, I hope you will make persistent efforts... After all, our day has come, and may fate protect us!"

"God bless!" His words were answered neatly.

After the final meeting, everyone left to prepare for the next expedition.

After everyone disbanded, Edgar stayed where he was and cautiously approached Aegron's side.

"Edgar, do you have anything else to say?" Aegron asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, you have not assigned me a specific task, which makes me very worried." Edgar replied in a low voice, "I request to accompany you on the expedition."

"Well, since you are so ambitious, then I agree to your request." Aegron nodded and agreed. "However, I'm sorry, because you just came here, you are not familiar with the people under your command, and you have no previous experience in the army, I can't give you a command task, you can follow me, you can be my secretary, for the sake of I record paperwork, or use your expertise to draw."

Aigron knew in his heart that Edgar was not a person who likes to endure hardships and take risks, but... since he had such a request, he directly agreed.

Although he didn't think much of Edgar's ability, he was reluctant to give him command responsibility - but he also knew that the Treville family was and will be very helpful to his career if he did not allow him to If Degas followed around, it would be tantamount to humiliating the family, and it would wear down the loyalty of the other party in vain.

Of course, if Edgar had an accident, General Treville and Alice would also suffer an unbearable blow, so he prepared to have Edgar by his side, which would at least make him much safer.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will serve you wholeheartedly." Edgar smiled and immediately agreed.

Then he looked a little hesitant.

"Anything else to ask for? Go ahead." Agron asked impatiently.

"Can Agnes be with us, if possible?" Edgar asked cautiously. "She wants to keep me safe."

"This can't be done." Agron shook his head and rejected the other party, "Agnes is a girl, how could she be allowed to suffer like this? Besides, it won't affect other people well."

"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of death, but Agnes was entrusted by her sister to protect my safety. If I leave her here alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it, and I don't know what will happen in the end... ..." Edgar continued to persuade the young man, "Don't worry, she is not someone who can't bear hardships, and she will never have any complaints in order to complete the task explained by her sister!"

After a pause, he leaned closer, and then added in a low voice, "If you are concerned about influence, I can make her dress up as an orderly by my side, I don't think anyone will care about that..."

Agron frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, please grant Agnes and Alice's wishes..." Edgar continued to plead, "I assure you that we will never cause you any trouble."

It doesn't matter to Edgar, but if you can get the loyalty of the sisters, it will be a huge gain... Aegron thought.

"Okay, I promise you, but you must remember that everything is low-key and must not cause trouble." He told Edgar.

"Absolutely! I promise you with our family honor!" Edgar swore at once relieved.
