Chapter 306 Qiao Shiquan
Chapter 306: Clever release of military power
Almost everyone in the hall showed a surprised expression.
"Your Majesty, I object!" An old man from the military spoke first: "Count Rody... Well, he is the Marquis. Although he has made extraordinary contributions to the empire, he is still young after all, and his qualifications in the army are too shallow. The Thunder Whip is the elite of the imperial army and an invincible hero! The Marquis Rody's prestige is far from enough to take on such an important task!"
This military old man is about fifty years old. Roddy originally knew him. When he pretended to be Duke of Tulip, these old men from the military helped him in the hall many times, but now the situation is reversed.
His words were immediately echoed by many people.
Zieg unexpectedly didn't speak.
First of all, he still appreciated Roddy, a young man. In the battle of sneak attack on Thunder City, Zieg had fought side by side with Roddy, and admired the young man's force, courage, and judgment.
Secondly... Anyway, he is almost the son-in-law of the Tulip Family. The Thunder Whip is enough to be in the hands of the Tulip Family, and nothing else is a big deal.
Third... Before attending today's meeting, Zieg had visited Miss Nicole at the Duke of Tulips's Mansion. Miss Nicole hinted that Zieg would never object to any decision His Majesty's decision today!
Although His Majesty's decision is too amazing now, considering these three reasons - Zieg is also a smart person after all. Such a change is just to transfer the military power from the Duke of Tulip to his brother-in-law... Anyway, it is all in the hands of the Tulip family, so it doesn't matter much. Moreover, the Duke has not appeared for too long, and the affairs of the Legion have been wasted for too long.
Besides, he is still supporting himself. Those troops were trained by himself. If Roddy had any unpleasant intentions and had himself there, he would not be able to cause any big waves!
Sieger also had a vaguely strange thought in his heart. Looking at the young man standing there, Sieger always felt an inexplicable feeling of intimacy in his heart, as if he was his old friend of many years, a comrade who had experienced the test of life and death in the rain of bullets and rain... This strange feeling really puzzled Sieger.
Seeing the people in the army oppose it, Andy narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Everyone, my decision is actually Seit's decision. Everyone knows that Seit, Duke of Tulip, has been recuperating from the war and is unable to care about military affairs in the army..."
"But General Zige is still there in the army. If Your Majesty is worried about military affairs, it is better to temporarily let General Zige command the Thunder Whip and wait until the Duke recovers before he regaining his health!"
An old man from the military refuted again.
The Marquis of Carolin next to him couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty is determined to push his illegitimate son down to the center of the stage! And he is determined to train Roddy into his heir... Well, he first married the Tulip family, firmly tied to the most powerful pillar of the empire, and then took charge of military power... Hehe, His Majesty is such a good method.
Thinking of this, Marquis Carolin suddenly saw His Majesty looking at him with a faint smile. He was stunned and knew that His Majesty was signaling him to speak.
The Marquis of Carolin smiled bitterly in secret, and it seemed that he had to come forward to be a bad guy again. He coughed softly, which immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the hall.
The old guys in the army frowned. They all knew that this old fox was not a good person. In the past, he helped the emperor speak against the military and the Tulip family.
"Your Majesty, I think your decision is correct!" Marquis Carolin smiled and said, "Although Marquis Rody, although he has experienced the just-concluded holy war and the mission of the Roland Continent, it fully shows that his ability is extremely excellent. Moreover, Marquis Rody has always served under the Duke's command and must be very familiar with military affairs. Finally, when it comes to status and identity... the title of Marquis of the Empire, plus the brother-in-law of the Duke of the Tulip Family, isn't such an identity competent as the commander of a legion of the Empire?"
"But... that's not an ordinary legion after all! It's the most powerful Thunder God Whip in the Empire! It's the pillar of the imperial military!" A veteran general of the military immediately retorted.
"Okay." Andy spoke in time and said in a deep voice: "This decision is actually what Duke of Tulips means."
What does the Duke mean?
The old men from the military looked at each other a few times, and although there was a little suspicion in their eyes, their voices fell.
"Your Majesty!" Finally, another deadly hard-core spoke: "I still feel inappropriate..."
"Oh? Then what do you mean?" Andy asked with a smile, without any anger.
"I think that Marquis Rody is certainly young and promising, but the commander of Thunder Whip is the top priority after all, and cannot be easily changed. Now the Duke of Tulip commander Central Cavalry is supported by millions of soldiers. Such prestige is incomparable to Marquis Rody. If the replacing the commander without authorization may cause unstable morale in the military! If His Majesty must cultivate Marquis Rody, you might as well find another suitable military position for the Marquis first."
Andy had a cunning look in his eyes and looked at the others: "Do you think so?"
"Yes!"
"So, what about Marquis of Carolin?" Andy glanced at the old fox again and spoke.
The old Marquis thought about it and felt that it was difficult to rashly raise Roddy so high, so he smiled and said, "I have no objection. Please let Your Majesty take charge."
Andy smiled slightly, and the smile made Roddy feel a little cold when she saw it - every time Andy smiled like this, someone was going to be in trouble.
"Since that's the case, then I'll take back my life..." When he said this, the old men of the military breathed a sigh of relief, and then Andy changed the subject and said, "But Marquis Roddy is no longer suitable for him to continue to stay in the Royal Guards. I decided to send him to the local legion... He just returned from the Rodland Continent, so he is most familiar with the situation in the Rodland Continent... Let's do this, Miro has stayed in the Northern Legion for a long time, so let him return to the Imperial Capital Command to report his duties, and then stay in the Command... The position of commander of the Northern Legion will be taken over by Marquis Roddy! That's it!"
After saying this, the old men from the military showed strange smiles, as if they were forcibly holding back the urge to laugh wildly, and they all looked at the Marquis of Carolin with malicious intentions.
The old fox was shocked and angry. The emperor's artificiality was obviously to remove the military power of his family!!
But... can we fight for it?
Let your nephew and the emperor's illegitimate son, or even the future imperial emperor, compete for military power? A joke! Unless your family doesn't want to mess around!
Those old men from the military did not expect that the emperor would change his subject and things had changed so much. The old marquis, who thought it was a thorn in their eyes, was very happy and they all deliberately agreed loudly.
The old marquis was angry, but he didn't dare to show any of them on his face. He could only nod and agree.
Sieger narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at the emperor. He suddenly remembered that after the war ended, His Majesty the Emperor ordered him not to let all the Thunder God Whip return to the imperial capital, but left 20,000 Thunder God Whip stationed in the Northern War Zone, nominally assisting the Northern Legion in guarding a large number of prisoners of war... Now it seems that the profound meaning is self-evident!
His Majesty the Emperor had long wanted to remove the military power of the Marquis of the Garolin family! Everything had been arranged long ago. If the Marquis of the Garolin family dared to disobey His Majesty's orders, if the Northern Legion dared...huhhh.
The 20,000 most elite Thunder Whip stationed in the Northern War Zone is enough to control the situation!
At the end of the hall meeting, Andy ordered Roddy to stay alone and talk later. The rest of the people left one after another.
The old men from the military finally brought up the old fox, the military minister, and their favor for Roddy increased greatly. Before saying goodbye, they all encouraged Roddy after hearing this. Finally, Sieg also walked to Roddy with a kind smile in his eyes and whispered: "His Excellency Roddy, congratulations."
Roddy looked at his old comrade who had been by his side since he joined the army, and felt warm. He couldn't help holding Zigg's hand and smiled: "General Zigg, I'll ask you to help you in the future in the north."
Zieg was held by Roddy, and felt a little strangely familiar in his heart. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You are about to become a part of the Tulip Family. I hope you can add glory to the Tulip Battle Flag!"
After saying that, the two shook hands and said goodbye.
"What are you trying to do?" Roddy followed Andy to a secret room in the palace and asked loudly immediately.
"Boy, don't be so chirping." Andy lay on the chair and smiled lazyly, "Are you not satisfied with the beauty of giving you a gift?"
Roddy's eyes showed a vigilant look: "Meiba? I think you have other plans? The civil war on Roland has begun. Go and send me to the north. Do you want to lead troops across the sea while they are fighting fiercely..."
"I don't have that intention." Andy shook his head: "It's just taking your opportunity to remove the military power of the Marquis of the Carolin family. The old man is a good at government affairs. Unfortunately, he has a little ambitions. Removing the military power of their family will also make him work more honestly in the future and don't always think about useless things."
Roddy nodded, believing it.
Tian Lie walked in through the flash door next to him. When he saw Roddy, he laughed and said, "Boy Roddy, you are back, there are not two parts on your body, right?"
Roddy glanced at the fat man angrily: "Thanks to your help, I have barely been killed by the original consciousness you have made!"
"Ahha!" the fat man laughed and scolded: "I have a kind heart, don't be ungrateful."
The three of them laughed and scolded for a while, and Roddy told some special things about the Roland Continent, such as the secrets of the temple, the secrets of the royal family of the Kingdom of Sauron, the identity of Promishu, etc. These things cannot be said in the hall meeting.
When the fat man was summoned, there was no time to say this in the hurry. At this moment, Roddy finally told the whole story.
Andy finally frowned: "Kara... the dragon clan... these things are tangled together, but they have some headaches."
Roddy sighed: "Although Kara is not dead, he has not obtained the original mind of the divine consciousness after all, and he was seriously injured and cannot recover in a short period of time. The paladins of the Dragon Clan have basically died. The guy who calls himself the Dragon God is just a son of the Demon Dragon, and I have also killed him. The remaining Dragon Clan must have nothing to worry about... Anyway, those are all things in the Roland Continent, and we can't control it for the time being..."
Andy smiled slightly and said, "That may not be." He smiled sly: "I think that Kara is not very simple, and the God Record you mentioned... Humph, it seems even more difficult."
Roddy sighed, "The matter of Shenlu has been confused in my heart for a long time, especially the memory fragments of the demon dragon son I saw. The humans and dragon clans in ancient times seem to be different from what we see in modern times... I always feel that it has a lot to do with Shenlu."
Andy shook his head: "I don't think about these things for the time being. Let's discuss them slowly if you have time."
Roddy nodded and said, "By the way, when I came back, I saw a lot of people from the Fire Warrior Order in the Imperial Capital. What's going on? Why did the God Cult suddenly mobilize so many Fire Warrior Orders to the Imperial Capital?"
Andy glanced at the fat man, and the fat man laughed and said, "Boy, do you remember that after we killed that big snake, I told you, will you give you a surprise when you come back?"
"What?"
Andy nodded and transformed into a magic barrier. All the aura and energy fluctuations in the isolated room were fluctuated. Then he walked to the back of the secret room and brought out a long and narrow box.
I don’t know what magic material the box was made of, it seemed to have a little brilliance.
"This box can block the aura emitted by the things inside. It is something from the Divine Church. You will know when you open it!"
Roddy was curious and slowly pulled the box away. He immediately felt an extremely strong dark aura emanating from it, and the cold murderous aura!
I saw black air filled the box, cold light flashing, and something that was exposed...
"Dracula's Spear!!!" Roddy exclaimed: "When did you steal it? How did you do it?"
