Power and Empire Chapter 515: The undercurrent in the south (2)

515 Undercurrent in the South (2)

"Does the vice-chief think so?" Olar's pale face was full of unwillingness and anger, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists, and said in a concentrated voice

"The city of Sagos is not far from the car in the south of Vikia. As for the strength of Vikia people, I believe that the Lord, known as the defensive master, should know better than me. The reason why it is so peaceful is because The eagle’s gaze has not yet shifted from the north. Once the opponent is ready, with our defense on the southwest border, there is no power at all."

Olar paused, and eagerly said, "My lord, don’t forget, this is the Vikinga, who has only 100,000 troops, and just defeated the Swadians several times his own in the north. It is the steppe eagle. The Kurgits were also suppressed in front of the Vickia's soldiers out of breath."

"From Master Olar's point of view, how do you think we should deal with this restless neighbor?" Salton twisted his eyebrows together, his eyes flashed brightly, changing his indifference, his tone of voice became more intense. It’s a bit hot,

As a member of the many lords in the southwestern frontier, he certainly knows why Olaf is so eager. His territory Ruda Fort is known as the first outpost in the southwest of the Kingdom of Ruud, because it is located in the towering Ochenko In the depths of the mountains, the Ruda region has always been a self-defense system.

If the Vicky’s army wants to step into the territory of the Rudd Kingdom, the remote Ruda Fort is undoubtedly the best place to avoid the main defense of the Rudd Kingdom. If it is better before, it can be carried by the strong castle. For a while, I stayed and waited for reinforcements. It was the same before, but now who doesn’t know that the Vijaya army is best at attacking cities, and even with the strength of Fort Ruda, it can’t withstand the Vijaya army’s strong attack.

"This..." Olar looked at Salton hesitantly and stopped. In fact, when he came this time, he was just trying to give it a try, but he didn't expect it to be cunning. Salton will kick the ball back

Olar smiled bitterly and said, "Master Salton, there are no outsiders here, and I am not one of those people who provoke right and wrong in Kyoto. Besides, I believe Master Salton knows these words very well... Do you think, Are we still safe in the Southwest?"

"Are you talking about the southwest border, or your Ruda Castle?" Salton said indifferently, "What do you think?"

Olav hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to say, "Since the lord wants me to speak directly, then I will not hesitate to say it. This time, I hope that the second elder can advise His Majesty to stabilize the occupied area. During this period of time, I took advantage of the excellent opportunity of gathering forces to eradicate the threat to the southwest in one fell swoop,

Olav gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Vikia cannot be destroyed, we must at least force the other party to sign an agreement that is beneficial to us, otherwise, once the Vikia conquer the northern grasslands, then it will not be a Van Vikia infantry. I'm afraid that there will be a large number of Kujit cavalry participating in the battle. Before the sharp edge of such a powerful army, we have only a small number of infantry regiments. The southwest defense line is almost defenseless. Don't say attacking at that time, just sticking to it is a luxury. , I believe no one wants to see such a situation"

"You have some truth, but I can't directly submit your suggestions to your majesty. It's not that I don't want to help you, but because I can't do it." God Salton sighed sadly, sad. The expression on his face was undoubtedly clear, and he said solemnly, "Do you know why I became the deputy commander of the military department? You don't really think it is because of this **** military exploit, do you?"

"Hundreds of thousands of blood dripped from under my deputy's hat." Salton's voice stopped, and suddenly a very emotional sentence came out. "This time I won, but you know the whole thing." How great is the loss of the Kingdom of Germany?

Except for a few areas in the south, almost all northern cities and towns have been destroyed by the Swadians. The lush areas such as Fort Ettle and Fort Vincent have been turned into ruins, with hundreds of thousands of displaced people Refugees need supplies for the winter, and large armies of lords are still wandering outside the city waiting for the king’s reward,

This battle almost emptied the entire treasury. Now, the adults in Kyoto need to come out to clean up the mess. The Minister of Military Affairs is the brother-in-law of His Majesty the King, and he must not move.

I am the new Deputy Chief of the Military Department. He has no roots and no roots. Although he has defended Sargos, so many civilians have died. As long as one person comes forward to testify, I am the best scapegoat.

"This... how could this happen"

Olar sighed in surprise, he knew that Salton was not playing him,

"In front of all kinds of cross-examinations, Your Majesty only needs to hang my head out. A crime of greed for money is enough to appease the refugees who lack food and clothing and the lords who have not been rewarded." Sol He suddenly chuckled and said bitterly

"With a cheap head, you can exchange the stability of the kingdom and save the kingdom’s economy that has gone bankrupt. Such a cost-effective business, I am afraid that what is missing in the minds of those adults has long been turned over. It’s me. A person who can walk, do you think I still have a chance to suggest your request to your majesty?"

In fact, these are Salton's words. Although the Kingdom of Ruud seems to be in the limelight right now, all senior officials know it,

The initiative in the Southwest is not in the hands of the seemingly powerful Rudds. The Vikings are the overlords of the Southwest. What they do and what they will do is not predictable, nor can one or two Rudds. If you are obstructing, you are not polite. If this war is not fought, once it starts, the exhausted Ruud Kingdom will be defeated.

"It’s no wonder that the Secretary of Military Affairs reprimanded himself like this. It turns out that this is something he knew." Suddenly, Olar seemed to have realized something. The love just now was like a flood that was vented, leaving only A tired, helpless, pale face compared to Salton~IndoMTL.com~ I am lucky, as long as Rudabao is not attacked, I will not make myself a scapegoat

"Don't worry, before leaving, I will let the Fifth Corps pay more attention to Fort Rudda. As long as there is a chance, I still hope Lord Olar can contribute to the kingdom's southwest defense"

Salton calmed the hesitant local lord with a few words before he waved his hand to let him go down.

After a while, Salton got up from his rocking chair, walked quickly to the desk, picked up a quill in the ink bottle and wrote something on a parchment roll, and there was a burst of crispness. Rustling

Pocket the letter, a to the old butler who called, Salton said with a solemn expression

"You give this letter a to the Fifth Corps outside the city, so that they will pay more attention to the situation in Fort Ruda in the southwestern mountain range in the near future. If necessary, the Fifth Corps can send troops to take over Fort Ruda because I doubt Ruda. The Marquis of Olar of Fort has taken refuge in the Vikya people. I came tonight to test whether we will use force against Vikya in the near future."F
