Kapitel 189: it will work
A few days later, when the fat man heard that the emperor had issued a special warrant so that the Augustus family could directly sell the hoarded materials to the Bright Empire, he was immediately angry. In my heart, I scolded the queen who blew the wind to the emperor to death. You know, with the emperor's special warrant, it is equivalent to a special pass, and all the griffin kingdom cities along the way can no longer collect taxes. This alone has saved the Augustus family a large amount of money. If they were taking the opportunity to transport a little private goods, they would obviously be able to make another profit.
Of course, even so, their materials that are two or three quilts higher than the normal price will definitely lose money, but it is still much better than the total annihilation. In short, although the Augustus family will definitely be greatly hurt this time, it has not reached the point of bankruptcy in the end, and it can be regarded as a desperate birth.
The fat man was very sorry for this for a while, and he even thought about whether he sent someone to pretend to be a thief to rob and kill the Augustus family halfway and kill the other party completely. However, after a night of consideration, he reluctantly chose to give up. Because it is impossible to hide such a big thing from the royal spy, even if the emperor does not find him to settle the account, then the Franks of the Augustan family will definitely play with their lives. In contrast, the various workshops of the Stephen family are more vulnerable, and the fat man does not dare to force the other party to fight back madly. You know, the thugs of the Augustus family also have thousands of people, and when they make a fuss, the fat man does not dare to say that he wins without damage. After all, now that the fat man wears boots, he is really afraid of Frank, a barefoot poor bastard.
As for Frank, of course, he was ecstatic after getting the news, almost moved to cry, and quickly called his men to prepare, and at the same time planned to celebrate his escape from death this time, and by the way, he could also take this opportunity to thank his sister.
But right at this time. Worse news reached his ears, the man the Augustus family had planted at the border, the Baron Deforte. Unexpectedly, during the expedition to Fort Intrepid, the entire army was destroyed, even he himself became a headless corpse, and only a small half of his well-preserved head and his military uniform emblem were sent back by the dwarves.
The entire upper echelons of the Gryphon Kingdom were shocked by this news. To know. Since the kingdom defeated a small country that dared to rebel a few years ago, it has been almost ten years since it made a big move, more precisely, it has been ten years, and no one has dared to provoke the majesty of the griffin kingdom. But now, a regular army of 2,000 men, plus a viscount nobleman. But it was completely annihilated in the Great Gobi. This is definitely a naked provocation! Both soldiers, commoners, nobles and royalty were enraged by the news.
In this case, the emperor ordered the convening of an imperial council almost at the same time as he received the news. Summon a group of ministers of culture and military affairs. Let's discuss how to respond.
I divide
In the council hall of the imperial palace, the emperor and a dozen powerful ministers sat around a large round table. He first reported the news from the front line again, and then asked angrily: "The 200 army, and a nobleman, just died innocently!" You say, what should we do? "
"Your Majesty, obviously. We must avenge them! Frank immediately spoke impassionedly.
"According to the intelligence of the dwarves. This unit was attacked by mercenaries accompanying the army, which eventually led to the destruction of the entire army. Words to avenge them. Just want those mercenaries! The fat man said unhurriedly. He already knew from the old mage that the Fort of Intrepid was the territory of the old evil, and naturally it didn't seem to make trouble for the old evil, so he deliberately said it so lightly. But to be honest, he is actually very dissatisfied with the old evil man's hot hand action, I don't know why he can be so cruel, after all, there are more than 2,000 people, and there is also a nobleman.
Frank had long seen that the fat man was extremely unpleasant, and when he heard him say this, he immediately sneered: "Is it enough just to want those mercenaries?" Are we going to let go of the culprits of this incident, those bandits entrenched in Fort Intrepid? You know, at that time, the army went to recruit them, and those mercenaries obviously couldn't have rebelled against the water for no reason, they must have been bought by the bandits of Fort Intrepid, so if you really want to avenge the soldiers who died, you must kill those bastards! "
"Ha, that's a nice thing to say, the vast Gobi, you think that's your backyard?" The fat man immediately said disdainfully: "Last time, you had to send someone in to eliminate some bandits, right?" More than 2,000 people were sent in at once. You don't talk about learning a lesson this time, and you are even ashamed to take revenge? Well, you kind of go by yourself, don't toss the poor border army below? "
"You?" When Frank heard this, his face turned green with anger, and he was just about to speak, but he was immediately stopped by the emperor with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, don't argue!" The emperor frowned and said, "Duke Frank is right, we must repay the revenge of these more than 2,000 warriors, otherwise, how can our griffin kingdom gain a foothold on the mainland?" But Duke Stephen is also right, the broken place of the Great Gobi is really not suitable for large-scale use of troops, not only is it difficult to supply, the most important thing is that we can't make too much fanfare, which will stimulate the surrounding orc kingdoms and dwarf kingdoms. Guys, can you think of a way to pull out the nail of Fort Intrepid with a small elite force? "
"Your Majesty, we can dispatch the Kingdom's most elite Champion Knights!" As soon as Frank heard this, he immediately proposed.
"What? Tell me where to go? No talk! When the Perfect Sword Saint Calia heard this, he jumped up directly and said angrily: "My troops are the most elite and noble troops in the empire, and they are the model and symbol of all the troops in the Gryphon Kingdom, and you actually mean to ask this legendary knight order to go to the Great Gobi to suppress bandits?" Are you kidding me? This is simply blasphemy against the reputation of the Great Knights! I categorically oppose it! "
You know, the Champion Knights of the Gryphon Kingdom is a glorious force that predates the history of the Gryphon Kingdom, and his predecessor even dates back more than 2,000 years. The number of this force will never exceed 3,000, and those who enter must have at least the strength of a level 3 warrior, but also be handsome, have high moral character, and be proficient in riding, and must go through a series of knight training before they can finally become official members.
All the people of the Champion Knights, all of them have elegant manners, strong strength, and even have no moral defects, which can be called knightly models. Therefore, this force is very famous in the Gryphon Kingdom and even the whole continent. It can be said that it is a banner of the army of the Gryphon Kingdom, so the perfect sword saint, who is the leader of the Champion Knights, Kalia, dares to say the arrogant words just now.
And in fact, the Perfect Sword Saint Calia is also not bad at all, this kind of thing of suppressing bandits, even ordinary regular troops should not be dispatched, originally it was the work of the local garrison force, why did he call this such a brilliant troop dispatch? You know, even when the kingdom fights a war with the outside world, they will not act rashly until the critical moment. What's more, this time is to go to the Great Gobi, the kind of place where birds don't, who would want to go?
Listening to Kalia's complaints, both the Franks and the emperor couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Frank could only say helplessly: "Respected Duke Kalia, you must understand that in addition to your troops, if other troops want to destroy each other, they must send a large number of teams. But marching in the Great Gobi, the cost of every 2,000 people walking is close to 10,000 gold coins, and the empire can't afford to spend it! "
"yes!" The emperor couldn't help but persuade, "For the sake of the 2,000 dead soldiers, for the honor of the kingdom, can't you be wronged once?" "
"Your Majesty!" Perfect Sword Saint Calia said almost with a crying voice: "The Champion Knights have been established for more than 2,000 years, we have fought bloody battles with the terrifying knights of the undead, and the abyss demons of the Burning Legion, under the leadership of successive commanders, we have fought almost all the powerful armies on the continent, even if all of them die in battle, they have never given up the pursuit of honor!" But, Your Majesty, you told us to go and kill the bandits this time? Oh my God, do we do this kind of work? If it gets out, then how can I have the face to meet the successive regiment leaders after I die? "
When this emperor heard this, he suddenly felt that his requirements were a little excessive, after all, the Champion Knights were already the strongest troops in the Gryphon Kingdom, such an honorary army, it was really not suitable to do such a trivial thing as bandits, how to say, it was simply killing chickens with a cow knife! It is no wonder that the Perfect Sword Santa Calia is wronged.
"Or else!" Frank suddenly said on the side: "You can ask your subordinates to dress up as other people and do this as another unit, so that it has nothing to do with the Champion Knights?" "
"You?" When the Perfect Sword Santa Calia heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he immediately stood up, intending to scold Frank. But at this moment, the emperor immediately said, "Good idea!" I'll see! "
"..."Perfect Sword Saint Calia didn't expect the emperor to say this, directly speechless, almost angry to death!
