Chapter 625 Suggestions


Chapter 625 Suggestion

Antonio rode a white horse and patrolled the Gabella camp.

The groans of wounded soldiers continued to reach his ears. Although the army had been in great service for so many years, he still felt very uncomfortable after hearing these painful sounds.

He knew that many people would not be able to withstand the fever behind them and leave this world forever.

At this time, Antonio will be extremely eager for the heaven preached by the church to be real, although he also hates the church at the same time.

Those who were uninjured or less seriously injured saluted and cheered when they saw the commander passing nearby.

Antonio greeted them with a stern expression, carefully hiding his sorrow without revealing it at all.

Gabera's culture left his soldiers longing for a commander who was ruthless rather than benevolent.

Antonio and his army are located in the Kingdom of Creel, a tributary country located in the north of the Gabela Empire, confronting the orc army heading south.

Although he successfully gained power in the coup, the threat from the northern orcs is also real. Antonio, who has already controlled the center of the empire, cannot let it go, otherwise his legitimacy will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after the situation in the imperial capital initially stabilized, Antonio left the old Marshal MacDonald to sit in the rear and personally led the army to deal with the orcs.

The spear going south and the shield going north collided head-on. The two sides fought several battles in succession on the land of Creel, with each winning or losing.

Generally speaking, the orc cavalry is dominant and has more troops. Its headquarters plus the conquered human servant army totals as many as 100,000 people.

Gabella's army was more elite, but smaller in scale - Antonio needed to leave some of the elite to guard the still unstable rear.

A man approaching on horseback was Antonio's deputy on this expedition, Siegfried.

He smiled and didn't have to hold it in front of Siegfried.

“Have you finished inspecting the area you were responsible for?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“How is the morale?”

“Very high. , Your Highness! Everyone is eager to beat the prairie barbarians again tomorrow.”

"That's okay!"

Ziege flew over and walked with Antonio.

"Your Highness, I seem to see a worried look on your eyebrows! This is not like your previous style."

His tone was very brisk, as if he was deliberately trying to enliven his friends. mood.

“Oh, my dear Siegfried!”

Antonio confides in him.

"I have never fought such a battle - not in terms of military disadvantage, but... in the case of having an unstable rear, far away from Gabela to fight the enemy desperately."

This is what Antonio is not used to. Although there were guys like Felix and the Dias family against him in the past, his father Battery led the overall situation, and his rear area was generally stable.

But it is different now. His authority has not yet been established. Lords from all over the country are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the situation in the imperial capital, and they are even... ambitious.

A warm touch came from my shoulder. It was my friend who put his hand on his shoulder.

He felt a force transmitted to him.

“All difficulties will be overcome.”

Siegfried said in a sincere voice: “Antonio, we are all by your side.”

“Me too. I always think so!”

Antonio responded to him, feeling much less upset.

The two of them returned to the big tent in the center of the camp to have a drink, but unexpectedly found that someone was already waiting inside. Master Aldrich, the famous maester of the Maester's Tower, saw Antonio and Sieg fly in and stood to greet them.

Antonio asked doubtfully: "Dear mentor, is there anything important so late?"

Aldrich frowned slightly and said solemnly Said to Antonio: "Your Highness, I am here to give you some suggestions."

"Oh? Please sit down and elaborate."

Antonio held out his hand to him.

After the three of them sat down, Aldrich said softly: "Maybe my suggestion is not popular, but the development of the situation cannot allow me to say it."

" Have you received any latest news?" Antonio motioned for him to continue.

Aldrich nodded, "Several students sent me secret news that several lords in the southeast are conspiring against you, Your Highness!"

Antonio's face turned cold. Come down.

The bachelors who came out of the bachelor's tower in the imperial capital have always been highly sought-after talents by the lords of Gabela. They spent a lot of money to recruit the bachelors under their command, either to take care of their territory, to make suggestions for themselves, or to educate themselves. The next generation.

These bachelors who roam the major territories of the empire are an important part of Gabela's ruling class, and each hold important positions.

Therefore, the information obtained by Aldrich should be very reliable.

“These guys don’t know how to live or die!”

Siegfried, who was sitting next to him, commented disdainfully.

But he also frowned. Is the instability in the empire so bold that some people would openly confront the imperial capital?

Antonio looked at Aldrich, "Mentor, I remember you said you were here to give advice."

"Yes." Aldrich nodded and said, "In fact, , I suggest you make some concessions to the orcs!”

“Absolutely not!” Antonio refused without thinking.

“You want me to give up Creel? How will others see me, a person who has just gained the power to rule the empire, and the first thing I do when I come up is to betray the interests of the empire?”


Aldrich shook his head, "It's not Creel."

"It's not Creel?"

"It's not Creel! The strongest desire of the orcs for thousands of years is to obtain a piece of It doesn’t matter whether the cultivated plain is Creel.”

Antonio was a little confused: “Where should it be? I don’t think it will work as long as it is involved with the empire, whether it is our own territory or ours. The territory of the allies."

Aldrich looked at him and said slowly: "Nairodan!"

Antonio and Siegfried were surprised together.

“That’s Aldo’s land!”

“Yes, Aldo’s land.” Aldrich said with emphasis, “Isn’t this just right? We keep it safe The orcs also gained benefits."

"That won't work either!"

Antonio still shook his head, "We have already weakened Aldo with Giles. The orcs have occupied Nairodan, and the hinterland of Aldo will be directly exposed to these barbarians. It is too dangerous, and it will make the entire western continent lose its balance."

"It takes time to break the balance! Moreover, the defense of the northeast cost Aldo countless money and food. If Nairodan is lost, maybe Aldo can accumulate more power."

Aldrich Stick to your point of view.

“It’s time to move the secret chess pieces we arranged in Nairodan.”
