Chapter 130 Transactions and Threats
Chapter 130 Transactions and Threats
At night, everything I saw was shaking under the reflection of pine torches.
Kate and Averre, who had been promoted to the position of commander of the second-tier legion legion through their military achievements, were recruited by Griffili in the late night, and Naren stood beside him, but in the back tent, he played a three-game chess with Vir, and the bet was a gold coin.
"Have there no news of Kangdo?" Griffili asked anxiously. For him, the primary purpose of coming to Doras was to see Kangdo. As for how to resist the attack of the Osusians, he retreated and was secondary.
"The other party must have strengthened the patrol efforts of the camp during this period, or they are guarding against anything, otherwise Kang Duo would not be unable to come out. At least she should leave a message at the location where we used to connect." Kate also looked worried.
"It's not because of you?" Avery thought for a moment, and then said, "You must know the little bit of trouble between you and Kang Duo. Almost everyone in the upper class of the Menid Empire knows. Will someone secretly communicate with the enemy and ask them to take some measures against Kang Duo?" Avery suddenly reached the point.
If anyone else wants Griffili to be defeated now, then only Speer and his family behind him, and it is no longer a secret that they collude with the Ossu Empire. Now Griffili has the power to the southern border. In order to prevent him from meeting Kang Duo, he is thus prepared to conceal the military secrets of the Ossu Empire to Griffili. Perhaps without the Arthur family's report, the commander of the Ossu army would know what to do.
"Except for Canglan Legion, how much do you know about other legions? I mean, will they immediately give up their support for Suman and obey my orders?" This is the most troublesome thing for Griffili now. In fact, he expected on the way. After all, Suman has been in power in the army of the Dollas Empire for more than five years. Whether it is popularity or prestige, it will be much fun if the generals are in a critical moment when they are in vain and falsely, but secretly see Suman's eyes acting.
"Su Man's authority is to command all the legions here. Except for Canglan, he does not have the authority to replace the legion commanders of other legions and the commanders of each column. The problem now is that as long as you master the Canglan legion and make Su Man lose power, as long as the other legion commanders are not fools, they know what to do." Avery is obviously better at strategy than Kate, and directly pointed out the key to the problem.
Griffili, who has absolute power, can replace the commander of any legion at will. This is also the reason why the old duke recalled almost half of the middle and senior generals of the Griffili army and sent them to Griffili. It was nothing more than asking him to take the opportunity to push his own people up so that he could do it easily.
But Griffili, who has absolute power, really has no choice but to deal with Suman. You must know that the other party is also an Imperial Knight. If you can't catch the other party's braid, Griffili has no right to replace him. The absolute power will only be valid for people other than the Imperial Knight.
"You two are prepared, I want you to move your seats." Griffili made up his mind to take the military power firmly in his hands before talking.
Carterha Averre was secretly delighted when he heard it. Although they were now the commander of the first army, the combat power of a mere 20,000-strong army could not be compared with a column of 5,000 people in the main army. Whether it was supplies or personnel supplements, they always gave priority to supplying the main army. Therefore, the generals who were dedicated to serving the country would rather go to the main army as a column commander than stay in the position of the commander of the second-line corps, because the role of these second-line corps on the battlefield was nothing more than two, one was to lure the enemy to die as cannon fodder, and the other was to clean the battlefield and dig trenches to build camps to carry out logistics. Moreover, as long as Griffili gave them a seat as the commander of the main army column, they could completely climb up with their military merits. As long as Griffili was also the governor of the southern Xinjiang, for Kate and Averre, whether it was the deputy commander or the commander of the main army, it was only a matter of time.
From time to time, Vill's sigh and cheers from Naihe came from behind. Since Vir won the first game, he never won Naihe again. At first he was not convinced, but touched the quickly held back, Vir, who could no longer care about face, had to raise his hand to surrender.
After sending Kate and Avery away, Griffili was about to take Nahe out for some breath. A black-armored guard came in to inform the visit of the Eighth Knight Suman. Griffili was not surprised. Recalling Suman's attitude during the day, he could guess what the purpose of the other party's visit was late at night.
"We should not pretend to be polite, let's talk straight to the point!" Suman, who entered the handsome account, explained his purpose directly after Griffili's gesture of whereabouts, "I'm here to make a deal with you."
Griffili was sitting high in the handsome chair and smiled without saying a word, turning his head and signaling Suman to continue.
"On behalf of the Arthur family, I hope to reach an agreement with you, and we can give up our support for the second prince." Su Manyu was not shockingly dead.
"What to exchange for?" Griffili suddenly felt a little interesting.
"For peace of the Arthur family, in other words, I hope that during your tenure as governor of southern Xinjiang, I will be treated the same as other nobles in the Daoras area!" Suman directly expressed his purpose.
In fact, Spel did pass Griffili's threat to him to Doras without saying a word and sent it to the hands of the Arthur family and Suman. Perhaps to outsiders, Griffili's threat is a bit childish and ridiculous, but the heads of the Imperial Knights Suman and the Arthur family do not see it like this. They believe that Griffili, who has absolute rights in Doras, may not have the ability to erase the Arthur family from Doras.
"You don't have enough chips. You know I don't care whether you support Spel. Not to mention that he is an inappropriate emperor. Even now His Majesty has made him the crown prince, I have the ability to unite with other imperial knights to depose him. Therefore, if you want to trade with me, take out the chips that make me moved." Griffili pushed back mercilessly.
"What do you want?" Suman admitted that the Ninth Knight in front of him had a cunning that was not consistent with his age.
"Two things, first, you hand over Canglan's military power and get out of the way, second, let the Ossu Empire relax the restrictions on Condo." Griffili pointed to the key point.
When Su Man heard this, the pair of hawk-eyed eagles on his face were covered with viciousness and looked directly at Griffili, "You are insulting me!"
Griffili spread his hands, meaning that you can see it no matter how you look at it. Griffili knew very well that the Arthur family would not give up their support for Spelle anyway. Now, as long as one of the north and the south was defeated, the Menid Empire might restart peace talks. With the support of the Holy See, after Spelle ascended the throne, he would undoubtedly make great contributions to reward the Arthur family in terms of merit. Although the family now under Griffili's rule, the family has to take some risks, but are there any risks in this world?
Suman is undoubtedly playing tricks on his child now.
"The first thing, I can't do it." Suman calmly breathed. If the military power was handed over, the Arthur family now would undoubtedly be the flesh that was placed by Griffili's mouth. "The second thing, I can't do it!" Even if it could be done, Suman could not agree, because this would undoubtedly confirm Suman's charge of secretly colluding with the enemy country.
"The fourth knight Ursa before I came once told me: The Imperial Knight is the armor of the Empire, not the thug of that family. So, I have given you a chance. In fact, to put it bluntly, we are all betting whether this war can be won, which will determine whether Spel has the opportunity to become emperor."
Griffili said, looking at Suman and continued, "I believe that before your family exposes Kangdo's life experience and reaches some shameful agreement with the Ossu Empire, you are willing to be the armor of the empire, but after this... in fact, you already know in your heart that you will never stand aside with me."
Suman has to admit that Griffili is good at scheming people.
"So, do you think you can kill the Ossu people without the full support of Canglan Legion? Can you still have the chance to meet Kang Duo?" Since the deal was not successful, Su Man simply threatened directly.
"Haha..." Seeing that the other party ignored the point in his words, Griffili smiled gloomy: "I don't accept your threat. I am not a mediocre person with no power. I will fight for military power by myself. As for Kang Duo, will I not look for my lover?"
"I'm afraid you don't have much time, and the empire can't last that long!" Su Man, who had no more talks, stood up and left and threatened again.
"Since you can reach an agreement with the Oshu Empire, why can't I? I can fight and talk with the Oshu people. I heard that they have always coveted the ports and fiefs of the Arthur family. What will happen if this chip is sent out?"
Before leaving the account, Suman looked at Griffili with a fishy smile for the last time. He was simply a demon.
Griffili and Suman are just like two believers with completely opposite religious beliefs. There is no possibility of reconciliation from the beginning, either you die or I live. What Griffili has to do is to continue to force Suman and let him show his trump card to declare war with him, so that Griffili can seize the handle and gain a foothold in justice. Now, he cannot stand firm in Dollas by being unreasonable. He must use "morality" to disguise himself.
Griffili, who could not fall asleep and had no intention of practicing, walked in the military camp with his help, looked up at the sky, and no longer had the brown night in his memory, the blood-red sky, and the Daolas who had been fighting for several months, nor did he have the rich blood energy to summon the blood moon.
The shadow wings behind him flew up to the tower, and while the two sentries on the night were kneeling in surprise, they looked out from the railing.
The wind of Dollas is still so humid and warm, just like Kang Duo's lips in my memory.
He closed his eyes and listened quietly.
The wind blowing from the south brought a faint sound of harp, with the melody being so sad and exciting, as if it were countless lovesickness.
"I can, go find her, I can." But he stuck behind Griffili, as if he was experiencing what he thought with him, and a hint of melancholy appeared on Qingchun's face.
"Don't even think about it!" Griffili refused flatly. If he encounters a powerful and pure soul like a dry soul, his current actions are completely a dish to deliver. For Griffili, any woman who enters his heart is generally important, and no one is more important.
Naohe turned his eyes sly, obviously Griffili had forgotten, Naohe... has never been an obedient master.
