General Bolognik adopted Claude's suggestion and quietly left Lanhu Town with the Guards Division, embarking on a journey to capture Vibato Port. This can be regarded as a road to self-rescue, General Skerry.
You are right. In the current predicament, it is better to get more credit than to sit and wait for death. At least the merits and demerits cancel each other out and it is much better than the ending of being disarmed and returning to the field.
Claude's analysis made General Bolognik make up his final determination. In a way, these generals in the theater were all disciples of Marshal Michelch, and they followed Marshal Michelch to serve General Hansback.
Prince. But the problem is that Prince Hansback values Marshal Michelch and does not care about these generals who are far away in the war zone of the overseas direct jurisdiction of Nubisia continent.
This can be seen from the fact that after Marshal Michelic left the royal capital to rest behind closed doors, the eldest prince never inquired about or cared about matters in the colonial theater. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Kingdom's Army Ministry to send General Alges here.
Serve as the supreme commander of the war zone and gain the military exploits of capturing Vibato Port. If Marshal Michelich is still in the Kingdom's Army Ministry, he will directly order the troops in the war zone to send troops immediately as soon as he gets information about the civil strife in the Hicks Kingdom.
Capture the port of Vibato without delaying for half a year waiting for the arrival of the Guards Division.
To put it bluntly, the Overseas Territory War Area General Claude, General Skerry and other generals from the Kingdom said they were loyal to the Great Prince Hansback, but in fact they were just too eager to shave their heads. The First Prince didn't think highly of anyone in his camp at all.
Perhaps in the eyes of the eldest prince, these few little shrimps at the bottom of the queue are the disciples of Marshal Michelqi who are far away in the continent of Nubisia and will not be of any help to his great cause of fighting for the throne. They are not worth it at all.
to take care of.
Another point is that Claude has been wondering whether General Alges came to Nubicia to take up a post in order to capture the Port of Vibato and gain promotion to the Kingdom's Marshal. Could this be a compromise made by the eldest prince to those old noble families?
.Because the eldest prince’s foundation is in the Kingdom Army, and the foundation of the old aristocratic family is also in the kingdom’s army. The two sides are originally in a competitive relationship, just like the eldest prince established the Ranger Corps and vigorously promoted officers with civilian backgrounds to exclude aristocratic officers.
But now General Alges has successfully led the Guards Division to the overseas territorial war zone, but the eldest prince has shown no movement or objection. Claude led the Thunder Division to annihilate the three main armies of the Kingdom of Hicks.
Won victory in the Third Colonial War. He made great contributions to the kingdom but was dismissed from the post of supreme commander of the war zone and was only promoted to the first level of military rank and the first level of honorary title. Such an unfair prince did not say a word. It was obvious that he gave up.
Of course, it can be believed that the eldest prince regards these generals in the war zone as his direct confidants, and thinks that it is okay to be aggrieved...
This is also the main reason why Claude thought twice after getting the information about the royal capital from Mr. Veblen and decided to fully cooperate with General Alges. Although General Alges is the leader of the old noble families in the kingdom, Claude is
Coming from civilian backgrounds, the two sides are not in the same class camp. But this does not mean that Claude must fight to the death with General Alges. Moreover, Claude is also a lieutenant general of the kingdom now. With the qualifications to be attracted, the eldest prince does not
Taking generals like Claude seriously does not mean that other people have no discernment either.
Therefore, General Alges took a fancy to the grenade invented by Claude and wanted to obtain an exclusive production license in the kingdom. Claude immediately agreed without any sign of unwillingness. General Alges was so pleased with him that he
After the banquet, the two chatted for nearly two hours. General Alges also revealed more inside information about the royal capital to Claude, allowing Claude to have a clearer understanding of the current situation of the two princes competing for the throne.
respective serious situations they are facing.
Claude still remembers General Alges's comments about Prince Hansback. General Alges believed that although Prince Hansback had a reputation for knowledge and talent, his ability to understand people was only concentrated in the Kingdom's Army.
He is a middle- and lower-level officer in the army. He can reduce outstanding soldiers to junior officers. This is indeed the great prince's strength, and it is unmatched by anyone in the royal army.
But it is a pity that these outstanding soldiers became junior officers because of the eldest prince's discerning talent, and then relied on their own talents to obtain promotions. When they were promoted to the level of colonel, the eldest prince could not make use of these soldiers he had promoted personally.
Officers, or in other words, he does not value these senior officers at all. This is because the eldest prince still regards these senior officers of the kingdom as the soldiers he promoted when he was originally promoted. He will scold and punish them when they deserve it, and will not save face for others.
Humans are a very complex advanced animal with unique psychological activities. They were promoted from the ranks of the army by the eldest prince and became junior officers. This was the main reason why the soldiers were grateful for their loyalty to the eldest prince. But their promotion later
After spending more than ten years and their own efforts, some of them received the care of the eldest prince, and some did not. When they became senior officers of the kingdom, they also had their own demands, whether it was political rights.
Whether it is family property, it needs to be matched according to their status.
The eldest prince did not care about this, and still regarded these senior officers as the original soldiers, shouting and joking around. Maybe the eldest prince thought this meant that they were close to each other, but to many senior officers, it was just a sign of their relationship.
This is a humiliation, because the eldest prince did not save them any face in front of his subordinates. In addition, those who can be promoted to senior officers of the kingdom are not simple things, they can even be said to be human spirits. Even if they are civilians, they will become senior officers of the kingdom.
At this stage, his thoughts are not so radical, and sometimes he is willing to have a good relationship with noble officers and live in harmony.
But in the eyes of the eldest prince, all this was a betrayal of him. He would not consider the difficulties of these senior officers. Instead, he would blame and scold those senior officers. In the end, most of these senior officers were alienated from the eldest prince. Therefore, Alger
General Si commented on the eldest prince, believing that his ability to gain military morale mainly relies on the prestige in the minds of the vast number of middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers in the royal army, but few senior officers are completely devoted to him.
Prince Hansback is a commander who can generals, but cannot generals. General Alges's comment was indeed a bit shocking to Claude at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it very reasonable. At that time, the knight
When the division was stationed near the royal capital, the eldest prince would go to the Ranger Division every two days, and would joke when he saw Claude and others. But now that the five reinforced divisions are in overseas war zones under direct jurisdiction, the eldest prince is
He was indifferent, as if he didn't know that the officers and soldiers here were actually the backbone of the Rangers.
Claude didn't want to care about what kind of agreement was reached between the eldest prince and the established aristocratic families. He just wanted to get this matter settled safely and make all the big bosses in the royal capital happy.
When General Alges led the division to capture the port city of Vibato, gained the meritorious service of being promoted to marshal of the kingdom, and ended this colonial war, then Claude would send back these great men from the royal capital.
You can rest assured and wait for the results to be given to you and other generals in the war zone.
When Claude thought about it, the Kingdom's Ministry of War would simply give him and several generals in the war zone a garrison order to prevent the Kingdom of Hicks from jumping over the wall and making a comeback. This task is very simple. In the future, you only need to guard the few deep-water harbors on the coastline to prevent attacks.
The attack and landing of the Hicks Kingdom Navy is enough. Then it is about developing people's livelihood, colluding with money, and getting more capital for the future of themselves and their families. They stay on the mainland of Nubisia and watch the turmoil in the kingdom. No matter who of the two princes comes to power,
It has nothing to do with myself.
This was Claude's plan. The problem was that General Alges was assassinated, and all the plans were thrown into chaos. After Claude woke up, he encouraged General Bolognik to lead the Guards Division to attack Vibato Port, which was indeed a way to save himself.
Lu. Now that he knew the character of the eldest prince, Hansback, Claude did not expect that the eldest prince would speak up for him and others for the sake of Marshal Michelchi. Perhaps the greater possibility was that the eldest prince would do more.
Punish Claude, General Bolognik, and General Skerry, the generals in charge of the original war zone, in order to calm the anger of the established aristocratic families over the loss of their leader, General Alges...
If you follow General Bolognik's idea and wait for the royal capital to deal with this assassination incident, then the lightest result is that these generals in the theater will be demoted. Claude is a lieutenant general, and if he is demoted one level, he will still be a major general of the kingdom.
As for General Bolognik, General Skerry, the seriously injured General Beachlin, and General Albert Lundt who was far away at Wickham Castle, they were in misfortune. They were originally major generals of the kingdom, and if they were lowered one level to the rank of colonel, they would like to return to the rank of colonel in the future.
It is very difficult to be promoted to general. As for General Xazolak, dismissal and investigation are light. The most feared thing is to be convicted of dereliction of duty and have to serve more than ten years of hard labor.
Therefore, capturing the Port of Vibato became a life-saving straw for the surviving generals in the war zone. Claude made it very clear that General Bolognik led the Guards Division on this expedition, not only to capture the Port City of Vibato as quickly as possible
The better, and we must also ensure that the casualty rate of the Guards Division is low in battle, and at least ensure that the noble officers of the Guards Division do not die on the battlefield. This will not only increase their military exploits, but also make them
After returning home, ask the families behind them to say something nice for the generals in the war zone. If the merits and demerits can be balanced, everyone will be happy.
Even with the grenade, and with enough confidence to capture the port city of Vibato, Claude sent Mai Jack to accompany him on the expedition. Let him lead two light cavalry field brigades from the 131st Thunder Battalion to follow General Bolognik.
Set off, this is a safety guarantee for General Bolognik during his expedition, lest he be assassinated again by those gray-robed magicians who escaped.
The current Veblen Manor is heavily guarded. Two large groups of troops left behind by the 131st Battalion of Thunder guarded the entire manor and villa so that not even a fly could fly in. This made the lives of mother, Kaifni and the children more difficult.
It caused a lot of inconvenience. Finally, Claude thought about it and sent a brigade to Anna Ranch to serve as guards, leaving only one brigade at Veblen Manor. It finally didn't look like a military location.
After waking up, Claude's body was still unable to move and he needed to stay in bed for a long time. Dr. Perente said that Claude's two feet were completely fractured. Just to heal these two leg bones, he would have to lie in bed for about half a year.
Severe burns on the back and shock injuries to the internal organs are estimated to take three months to recover. As for the stab wound on the left arm and the penetrating injury on the right abdomen, they are the simplest and can be treated in ten and a half days.
General Xia Zolak came to Veblen Manor again. He had the hardest time in the past half month. He had stayed up for countless nights. His eyes were red and his spirit was very exhausted. Even if he knew that it was because of this assassination incident.
His end was unlikely to be good, but General Xazolak still braced himself to draw a conclusion for this assassination incident, that is, based on Claude's guess, he would find the Gray Tower commanded by King Mechid III of the Hicks Kingdom.
Evidence that the mage came to assassinate.
At present, there are only two pieces of evidence that are relatively reliable. One is that General Xia Zolak commanded the officers and soldiers of the Third Panshi Division to turn the entire Lanhu Town upside down and captured two spies from the Hicks Kingdom. According to these two pieces of evidence,
The spies were identified by their neighbors. A few days before the assassination, the two spies had several relatives in their homes. Then among the corpses of the gray-robed magicians who were killed, the spies' neighbors recognized them.
Two of them are the so-called relatives of the spy.
This is one piece of evidence that shows that the gathering place of those gray-robed magician killers in Lanhu Town is the home of the secret agent of the Hicks Kingdom. The second piece of evidence is that the two assassinations did not happen at the same time, but the murder of Ke first.
Lord, made too much noise, forcing the gray-robed magician killer in the square to hurriedly launch an assassination operation against General Alges and others. This shows that the main target of this assassination is not General Alges alone, but
Claude and General Alges indirectly proved that the assassination was not caused by General Alges' personal grudge.
Compared with General Alges, Claude's military career and personal experience are very simple and clear. There is no personal grudge that requires seven magicians to assassinate him. The only one he offended was the Hicks Kingdom, and Claude led the Thunder Division.
The regiment won the third colonial war and annihilated the three main armies of the Hicks Kingdom. It almost single-handedly changed the strategic situation faced by the two kingdoms, and indirectly caused the Hicks Kingdom to fall into civil strife.
.It can be said that the person who hates Claude the most is no one except the King of the Kingdom of Hicks, Melchid III.
The purpose of General Xazolak's visit this time was to make up a record for Claude. After all, seven magicians went to assassinate Claude, but were killed by Claude. This was almost more shocking than the assassination itself.
Even though Claude couldn't afford to be seriously injured, it didn't mean that he could stay out of it. He had to explain clearly how he killed the seven gray-robed magician assassins.
Fortunately for Claude, he didn't use any other spells during the counterattack except an energy shield. The energy shield can be replaced by magic scrolls and talismans. So he happily recounted the whole process.
Once, he asked his brother Blovik to present two items at the same time, one was a broken silver necklace, and the other was a revolver.
"This silver necklace was bought on the black market after the war in the eastern region when I passed through Afenasburg on my way home to visit relatives. It cost me twelve gold crowns. The vendor selling the necklace told me
It is said that this silver necklace was made by the magician who was the original Archduke Sidings and gave it to his lover's brother. There is a magic shield inside. When an attacking spell reaches the body, this magic shield will be activated, causing
The person wearing this silver necklace will not be harmed by attacking spells."
Claude was a little excited when he said this: "Now I realize that I have been fooled. This silver necklace does have a magic shield, but it only withstood three attacks and then disappeared. It still looks like this. If I
If it weren't for this repeating revolver beside me, I would have died in the hands of those gray-robed magicians..."
General Xazolak took out some other documents from the folder. These were testimonials from the people who saw Claude kill the seven gray-robed magicians in the distance, confirming that the confessions of both parties were correct.
After going up, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the revolver and played with it in his hand: "Claude, I believe you will have a very headache after this assassination incident is over, because there will be many dignitaries who want to get more than one from you.
This revolver is used as a self-defense weapon..."
