Eagle’s Glory

"Andre!"

After hearing Aigron's greeting, Andre Davout, who was guarding the door, immediately walked in.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?" He asked in a low voice after confirming that nothing unexpected happened inside.

"Just now, Colonel Henchy made a suggestion to me. I think it is very reasonable, so I want to ask your opinion." Aigron replied.

Then, he told his personal guard captain exactly what he had just discussed with Major Henchy.

"In other words, Your Majesty, have you decided to divide your troops to defeat the incoming enemies?" André Davout immediately understood what Aegron meant.

"That's right—" Aegron nodded, "We must try our best to seize the initiative at any time, instead of watching the enemy troops converge in front of us, we have to take advantage of the opportunity for them to disperse, Defeat them in one fell swoop - and only then can we continue to move freely."

"I agree with you." Andre Davout nodded immediately.

"This view itself is very good, but it will inevitably bring about problems that cannot be ignored - we have a small number of people, and once we divide our troops, it will inevitably make the strength in our hands even weaker. Moreover, in order to increase the odds of winning, I will Take away our most elite strength, there will be very few people left here, which also means that the danger here will become very serious, once Nafpaktos falls, it means that we will face the rear cut off In this situation, even if my side wins, it will become meaningless."

Having said this, he looked at Andre Davout with piercing eyes, "That is to say, Andre, where we are now, Nafpaktos, must always be under our control, absolutely not allowed Lost."

"You are absolutely right." Andre Davout thought for a while, then nodded in approval of Aegron's words.

"So, I must leave the most reliable and bravest person to stick to the post here and defend our victory-" After Aigron said this, he stopped and just kept staring at Andrei.

Andre Davout is not a fool, he immediately understood the meaning of Aigron's gaze - both hope and encouragement.

Immediately, a raging fire burned in his heart.

"You are...you mean..." He unconsciously, his voice suddenly trembled, "You want me to stay here?"

"This is a daunting task, and we must complete it." Aegron did not answer directly, but sighed softly, "If it wasn't for someone who has been tested in my mind, I would never have entrusted this important task. "Andre, are you confident?"

Seeing that his conjecture came true, a burst of ecstasy made Andre's face instantly hot.

"I'm confident!" He clenched his fists and waved them heavily. "Your Majesty, I swore long ago that I would be unswervingly loyal to you, regardless of personal gain or loss, even life and death. Now that you are willing to give me a chance to prove myself, how could I escape?! I will definitely guard this place for you. , hold on to victory!"

Since he went to Monte Cristo Island and joined Aegron's subordinates, he was favored by His Majesty and was directly promoted to Captain of the Guard. Although he was very grateful to His Majesty for his trust and use of himself, he also felt a little regret- - After all, being the captain of the personal guard means that he can only be responsible for the communication and coordination between His Majesty and other officers in many cases, and cannot personally charge for His Majesty and win the battlefield.

He didn't expect that this regret would be made up so quickly. After His Majesty's calculations, he planned to hand over the heavy responsibility of staying in Nafpaktos to himself - and this also proved that, in His Majesty's heart, he was indeed the most worthy one of the trusted ones.

Being so recognized by His Majesty, how could he not be excited and excited? How could he possibly escape from the battle, escaping the responsibilities that he should shoulder?

Seeing Andre Davout so excited, Aigron was also very relieved, and he did not see the wrong person.

"I am very moved by your loyalty, but if you want to win, it is not enough to rely on blood." He gestured to Andre to calm down first, "Andre, although it is impossible for me There are too many people left for you, but I will allow you to choose some from the guard to assist you, and I intend to leave all the Greeks in our army who have taken refuge with us here under your command - and the Count of Monte Cristo will also stay here. Here, as your second-in-command, assist you in commanding those Greeks, we still have a little time left, and you will communicate with the Count of Monte Cristo and the others to familiarize them with your command, and by the way, urge them to hurry up and build fortifications.”

"Yes!" Andre Davout immediately stood up straight and accepted Aigron's order.

Aigron himself knew that the weakest in his army were the Greeks. They were chaotic and depended on themselves only because of the temptation of money. The will to fight was really uncomplimentable.

Precisely because he had to win quickly, he handed over the weakest part of his army to Andre Davout, and let him take them with them and stick to it with fortifications everywhere, trying to delay as long as he could. There is victory until the division.

"I don't need to stress that, you should also know the difficulties at hand, and the reality makes me unable to allow you to fail, so Andrei, I hope you must show all your intelligence and courage, and resist no matter what. ." Aegron continued to instruct the other party, "Remember, there is no extra reinforcement for you, you can only count on everything going well on my side, and then come back as soon as possible to solve the trouble on your side."

Andre Davout knew the weight on his shoulders, his heart was pounding, but even so he did not flinch, but looked at Aigron with high spirits. "I will do it, Your Majesty."

After getting along for so long, Aigron of course already understands Andre's personality. He knows that since Andre has made such a promise, he will definitely use 120,000 strength to execute it, and he will never Hit any discount.

That being the case, there is nothing to worry about anymore.

It is impossible for him to appear in every place at any time, relying on his own charisma to solve problems, and sooner or later he will face a situation where he can be alone - and now, Andre is already the best candidate he can choose, if not even him That only means that his small group can't stand the test, and it is destined to fail the great cause.

"I believe that fate will be on our side, and we will succeed." He changed the solemnity on his face just now, but smiled slightly, "Okay, I have already told you what I should tell you, Andrei , let's relax now, we have a lot of big things to do in the future, this little scene is really not worth worrying about."

In his laughter, the solemn atmosphere in the room was also slightly diluted.

Next, Aegron turned to look at Major Henchy and the others who had been silent next to him, "Sir, I have done exactly what you think, so please wish us good luck."

"Your Highness, you will definitely have good luck." Major Henchy smiled slightly, "The victory or defeat of the war is full of accidents, and sometimes no one can tell how the victory and defeat are divided, but only me I have seen from many years of experience that luck is always on the side of courage and quick action. You take my advice immediately after hearing it. It shows that you have the courage to make a decision. The next step is to implement your decision. I'm sure your followers will do it - as long as they are like the captain of the guard next to you."

"If all of them were as loyal and brave as Andrei, then I wouldn't have to worry about anything..." Aigron shrugged, then replied with a smile, "I have already made arrangements here, may I ask what you plan to do next? How to do it?"

"Since you have decided to divide your troops, then we can also divide your troops here - I will leave two people here to assist your captain of the guard; the rest will follow you." Major Henchy replied, "If you don't mind If so, I will continue to serve you by your side."

"Great." Aegron didn't raise any objections, but extended his hand to the other party, "Then I hope everything goes well--"

Without any hesitation, Major Henchy held the young man's hand, and then the two shook it vigorously a few times - which also meant that their short and close cooperation began.

Aegron was in a good mood, and the arrival of this group of advisors solved a problem for him.

He has always been making decisions by himself, even though his self-confidence is different from ordinary people, but sometimes he can't avoid doubts or worry about gains and losses. Now that they are by his side, at least he has a reference.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you-" When they ended their handshake, Major Hench suddenly remembered something, "We originally planned to return to the country as soon as your victory in the war is over, and we will never cause any trouble. No matter what you pay attention to, don’t cause trouble to His Royal Highness…”

Speaking of this, the corner of Major Henchy's mouth twitched slightly, and then looked at Aigron narrowly, "However, just before we came here, His Royal Highness Teresa invited us in person, at your and her wedding. As a guard of honor, I would like to ask, do you agree that we have such an honor?"

Since Princess Teresa gave this invitation, this has become the most concerned thing for Major Henchy.

Of course, to him, Her Royal Highness Teresa meant a lot more than the young man in front of him.

"Of course!" Aigron didn't think about it, and immediately agreed with a big smile, "When that day comes, Teresa and I will be very happy to see you bless us."

Teresa...that's what's on my mind. He was both amusing and touching.

"In my opinion, a wedding is not just a celebration, but a lifetime commitment. I sincerely hope that the two His Royal Highnesses can grow old together forever, and only in this way, our hard work is meaningful. "Major Henchy looked at Aegron pointedly, "Your Highness, now you are no longer a child, but a man. I don't know what your future will be, whether you will be on the throne or be unknown, or become an empire." A friend is still an enemy of the empire, but no matter what the outcome is, I hope that you can act with the courage of a man, worthy of the favor and praise you have received."

After saying a long paragraph of what he meant, he saluted Aigron directly, then followed Andre Davout out of the room and went to rest.

After sending these people away, Aigron continued to devote himself to his work - everything Major Henchy said just now, prompted him to make a decision on what to do next, but in addition to the broad decision, there were too many There were so many details that he needed to think about, so he kept taking notes and comparing on the map from time to time. It was not until late at night that he washed up hastily and closed his tired eyes.

===================================

Early the next morning, Aigron called Edmund Dantes directly in front of him.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?" Edmund Dantès asked respectfully after saluting.

"There is an important task for you, Edmund." Aegron didn't waste any time, and directly told the other party his ideas.

After he finished speaking, he made a conclusion, "All in all, the next place will be handed over to Andre and you. I hope the two of you will unite and cooperate, stick here for me, and then wait for me to come back——"

Edmund Dantès listened carefully to Aigron's words, and then he, like Andre, quickly weighed the weight of the task.

This is clearly an order that His Majesty should not allow any mistakes.

"Edmund, do you understand?" Just as he pondered, he heard the young man's question.

He raised his head subconsciously, and then met Aegron's aggressive gaze.

This gaze seems to be asking sternly - do you have confidence in yourself?

For a moment, Edmund Dantes subconsciously shuddered.

He has built up his self-confidence.

He knew even more that fate left him only an extremely narrow road, and he must muster the courage to go forward, even if there are any difficulties and obstacles in front of him, he must go through it until he reaches the end of victory.

Just like his master, he would never allow himself to back down or fail.

"I understand." Edmund Dantes responded to the young man's question with the shortest sentence.

Next, he shouted, "I will defend your trust in me to the death! I will let you know that you made the right choice."

Seeing Edmund Dantès' answer so full of energy, Aigron couldn't help laughing, and then patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"I knew you would answer me like that, so let's do it like that."

Then, Aigron made a gesture and let his personal guard captain Andre Davout come over.

"The two of you will communicate well next, and I wish you all the best."

"It's an honor to have your assistance, and I hope you can do your best like me in the future." Andre Davout took the initiative to extend his hand to the Count of Monte Cristo, "For victory."

"For victory." The Count of Monte Cristo also tightly held the hand of the young man opposite.
