Chapter 782 Coalition Army Meeting
The war in the Sambiya region has lasted for more than a month. The coalition forces on the second battlefield were wiped out and the news that the three big cities were completely occupied had already spread throughout the Sambiya region.
Less than 3,000 troops ran back, and the rest were either killed or turned into prisoners. One of the priests of the Rima Sect counted one, and all of them became the military merits of the other party. A fully-organized giant brigade, no one died, and the potions were probably taken to study by them...
"This is simply a shame! Van Lunding, this... this... idiot! He actually caused such heavy losses to our family. How can he raise his head in front of the other two families in the future!"
Elvi Prudence, the head of the Proudence family, slapped the table in the study. Who would have the biggest blow to the defeat in the second battlefield? That is, his family, if the other one was the commander, he would definitely have to cut off the other party. The one who led the army was his son or the one he liked the most. He really couldn't bear to say a few words of ruthlessness. Compared to those soldiers who had lost supplies, the death of the heir was the biggest blow to Elvi.
"The death of Master Fan Lunding is really sad, but now is not the time for us to remember. The recent battle situation is anxious, with reinforcements from the Qingshu Alliance continuously emerging, and the army on the second battlefield re-emerges. The goal is likely to be our back. The worst situation is likely to be the enemy from both sides. The Ottoman family sent an invitation last night, hoping that we would participate in this round of pre-war meetings, and it is said that they have found a helping hand."
High nobles will more or less be dependent on small families that survive in their own families. People with some abilities that are occasionally cultivated in these families may hold important positions in higher families. This is the case with the steward of the Proudence family. Relying on the relationship foundation laid with the current head of the family Elvie Proudence since childhood, and with his own talent in management, although he is not from the Proudence family, he controls the family's external communication.
"I know, alas... Think about it now, the decision to betray the Empire was a bit hasty. Some time ago, the Rima Sect was placed on the stage, and most of its cathedrals were destroyed, and it was said that it was not a big deal... We are not fools, and our families were demolished. How could it be fine? What if the Rima Sect lost to the Empire Government? Gail, what do you think?"
Elvi, who was self-pitying, changed his tone and looked at the second heir standing at the table. He couldn't say he liked his son. Some things were proved in the information collected from the family, but Van Lunding's death forced Elvi to look at him. No matter how unloved he was, the blood of the Proudence family flowed in his body. He would die one day. If he didn't want others to fall behind in the family business, Gale must be able to shoulder this responsibility.
"I think it's not the time when we were thinking about what happened. Whether it was the Sect of the Naojima or the Imperial Government, since we have embarked on this path, we must go to the dark. The situation is not really clear yet. Didn't the Ottoman family say that they have found a helper? Maybe it's a helper to determine the situation of the battle. The failure of the second battlefield cannot be reversed. Then, it will completely defeat the opponent's Qingshu Alliance between its bad influence and the third battlefield!"
Speaking is a skill, Gael is not good. As a diplomatic envoy of the Prudens family over the years, he has certainly practiced this aspect. Elvi's question just now seems to complain that he should not betray the empire, but it is actually just a temptation. You must know that betrayal of the empire has become a certain fact. Will the government agree to it when he said he wanted to return to the empire's empire at this time?
What Elvi really wants to know is Gael's attitude. If he really lacks consideration for betraying the Empire, it proves that he is dissatisfied with his current head of the family and has other strange thoughts. How could Elvi dare to hand over the family to him with such a person?
"What I said makes sense. We should do this in the future like now. Think more and see more. The judgment of the situation is very important. Do you know? Fan Lunding is dead, and you are the only heir in the family. When I am not here, the family will bother you to watch."
Elvi slowly stood up from the chair. He is now in his sixties. His years of cultivation cannot withstand the passage of time and his energy is no longer as good as before. He came to Gale's side and patted his shoulder, left the room, and prepared to go to the Ottoman family to participate in the meeting. The old housekeeper naturally followed behind him.
"Chengkov, thank you for taking care of your family affairs over the years. I will trouble you in the future. Gael's child has many unfamiliarities. Don't let him go on a wrong path. In addition, do you still remember the child I often mentioned to you before? I have been training outside for a while. Thank you for your hard work. Find a chance to ask him if he wants to come back."
Elvi Prudens was also young, even though he was a flower bush, it was not very strange that accidents occasionally occurred. The first half of the sentence was a kind father, but the second half was that the old housekeeper's back felt cold.
At this time, what the illegitimate child from outside returned to the family was self-evident. Although he had some understanding of what happened back then, the old housekeeper still felt inappropriate about the behavior of the head of the family. Gail was not the child who knew nothing back then.
But a servant is a servant. He has to listen to some things, but he cannot have any ideas. He just needs to do it. Over the years, he has climbed up from below step by step, and he has relied on more than that seemingly solid relationship.
"I see."
"It's good to understand. I'll go out to eat first. You can prepare it and don't be late."
Elvi walked in the middle of the corridor, which was his habit. He had been like this in the Proudens family. The old housekeeper watched him leave, turned back to the room just now to get some of Elvi's personal belongings, and opened the door. The scene in front of him seemed to be choked with something, and he couldn't say a word.
"Chinkov, is my father gone?"
Gale sat on the only gold and gem chair in the study, leaning against the back of the chair, holding a glass of wine in his hand. When he saw the old butler coming in, he had no intention of getting up.
"The master is leaving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little confused, but he did not make any remedies, as if he had also determined a fact in his heart.
"Is he about to leave? It seems like this... The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come. How can people be without mistakes in their entire lives? Just like my brother, I have been praised since childhood, with talent and wisdom, and I won a prize today and a commendation tomorrow. I am almost desperate, but some things are so coincidental. He died, and died neatly. Then I understood a truth. Some things are still the result. Are you right?"
Gail seemed to remember something, and found a printed photo from his pocket, held it in his hand, facing Chenkov. The content in the photo was very simple, a head on the lawn!
"You... are right, some things are the most important thing."
Who is the person who took the photo? How did Gail get this photo? Why could he get this photo? Why did he have this photo? Countless questions circling in Chenkov's mind, but as Gail said, the process is not important, what is important is that the photo is in Gail's hands, and he did get this photo.
"That's right. My father will attend the meeting of the three major families later, right? With your qualifications, you should be able to listen. There are some things you don't need to teach you, right?"
The photo appeared on his bedside table a week ago. It was a very terrifying photo, but in Gale's opinion, it was more attractive than any expensive landscape painting. Since what others promised, he certainly had to travel and promise. As the only future of the Prudens family, he was ready to change his family's way out.
"I understand, I will inform you as soon as possible if there is any news."
The old butler bowed and greeted. The future was in the hands of this young man. He was sure of this, so it would be better for the team to advance.
Outside the Ottoman family manor, several luxurious cars were parked here, and seven more important members of the three major families were present. The appearance of a duke, two marquises, four Counts, and Elvi Prudens showed a hint of a cold scene, which was not active.
The defeat in the battle and the recent situation of the Rima Sect are all things that everyone is worried about. They participated in this bet in order to gain huge benefits. They thought they were sure to win, but they did not get much benefits, but the losses were so great that they felt so painful.
So far, there are only a few government cities established by the aristocratic alliance led by the three major families. Not only are there no oil and water, but they are also restricted to the city to do anything illegal. After all, these are regular cities and may become their own territory in the future. If the army is allowed to burn, kill, loot, it will not only arouse public anger in this city.
Only by defeating another noble alliance can you gain the greatest benefit. Their territory and wealth can make anyone present reach the top in one step, but it is not easy to defeat the other party.
Not long after, the Ottoman family appeared, but behind him was a man covered in a black cloak. The eyes of the aristocrats on the conference table immediately appeared a little disdain. When is it time to pretend to be mysterious?
"Everyone, everyone should know the current situation of the battle. I won't say much nonsense. The crushing defeat on the second battlefield is irreversible. According to reliable news, all the troops of the Green Tree Alliance had arrived in Spandri yesterday, with 70,000 people!"
The battle on the second battlefield ended very quickly, no one expected this, and their strength after reorganizing the military power was an unexpected number, with 70,000 people, plus the current 80,000 people in the Qingshu Alliance in the third battlefield, that is 150,000. The gap with them will be greatly narrowed, and they are still attacked from both sides, which is a taboo in the war!
"What should we do? Our troops are currently gathering near the territory of the Abraham family, and the rear is empty! In such a short time, 70,000 people can be raised. If they can occupy several cities, relying on the equipment sent by the Prudents family, they may be able to raise a unit of 100,000 people. What will happen then?"
In addition to the head of the Ottoman family, the only one who can speak so sarcastically was Turin Loriel. When he decided who would lead the second battlefield army, Elvi Prudens strongly recommended his heir, and the same was Turin Loriel. Unfortunately, Elvi succeeded later. He snatched this great credit by him. Turin was so angry that he had no appetite for several days. Later, he learned that the second battlefield had suffered a crushing defeat and he never stopped sarcasm for Elvi.
"Turin, I have said many times that failure is not because of a mistake in our decision-making, but because the other party's strength is underestimated by us. They have many methods that we don't know, so put away your disgusting expression. If it were your useless son, you wouldn't be able to hold on for a few days!"
"Haha, my trash son? Your son is so smart, but unfortunately, God is jealous of talent!"
"You! Turin, I really think I don't know anything about the dirty things of your Loriel family? After fighting here for so long, the private troops of your family will stand at the end every time they go to the battlefield. They are the first ones when they run. Those who don't know think you are practicing back and running. It turns out that there are any cowardly heads of the family, and there are any kind of waste private troops."
The two giants started arguing at the conference table with one word and another. The other earls did not dare to respond casually, for fear of annoying one of them, so they had to look at the Ottoman head.
"Yingjing, if you two fight now, if the troops of the Qingshu Alliance can retreat, even if you have arguing for three days and three nights, I promise not to stop you. If you don't have this ability, sit there for me!"
When the real boss spoke, Elvi and Turin stopped talking. They all understood in their hearts that no matter how fierce the quarrel was, they would not fight, unless no one wanted to live.
"I'll introduce to you my new friend who joined the league, the current leader of the Black Chess organization, His Excellency Morpheus."
It was just over and the conversation was unsuccessful... This time it was really unsuccessful!
What kind of organization is the Black Chess Organization? Even though the major nobles present had never dealt with them, they had heard from various channels that there were a large number of demon contractors within the organization, and their daily tasks were to release demons in major areas within the Lorraine Empire.
Now I suddenly told them that this organization has become an allies... kidding? Don't forget that they are now dependent on the Sun Mai Sect. What's wrong with running to cooperate with the demons? A few demons suddenly appeared on the battlefield. That kind of scene was even more shocking than a few giants.
