Chapter 370 The Persistence of the Grand Duke of Troy

Bolivia, the capital of the Principality of Hales.

The Grand Duke of Troy convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the castle, and his face was quite ugly: "General Owen of Sea Dragon City rebelled and cooperated with the army of Holy Dragon City, causing the city to fall. Now Duke Ferman is imprisoned by Holy Dragon City, and his life and death are uncertain! Sea Dragon City is The door of our country must never fall into the hands of others. I want to raise troops to take back Hailong City, do you have any objections?"

"Grand Duke!" General Homer walked out of the crowd, "I would like to lead the army to take back Sea Dragon City!"

"Very good!" The Grand Duke of Troy nodded, "General Homer is courageous and resourceful, I am very relieved. Then you will mobilize the army..."

"Wait!" A grey-haired old man walked out of the crowd and said with a hunched waist, "Grand Duke, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run! I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rush to send troops."

Seeing the white-bearded old man stand up, Grand Duke Troy couldn't help frowning: "General Mark, what's your opinion?"

"Grand Duke, I have been in the army since I was eighteen years old, and I have served the Principality of Hales for sixty years." General Mark coughed a few times and looked up at the Grand Duke of Troy. From the very beginning, he was known for being cautious. The Duke of Hales's current strength is also thanks to the previous Grand Duke!"

When the Grand Duke of Troy heard this, he felt a little displeased. Although he knew that this was the truth, he hadn't made any great achievements since he came to power, and all the achievements of the Principality of Hales were due to his father. But many years after his father passed away, these old guys under his subordinates still couldn't forget him, as if they didn't take this new Grand Duke seriously. This was very unbearable for him and felt like a challenge to his authority.

General Mark didn't look at Grand Duke Troy's face, and continued to say earnestly: "The fall of Hailong City is indeed a great threat to our country. But without knowing the enemy's intelligence, it may be difficult to attack rashly. Now the mainland human kingdom coalition forces

The matter is being worked hard to achieve, the consequences of acting impulsively will be unimaginable! I also hope that the Grand Duke will learn from your father's prudence, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, first send people to find out the details of the enemy, wait for the coalition troops to arrive, and then launch the sea dragon city recovery battle, it will surely succeed in one fell swoop! "

"General Mark was brave and good at fighting when he was young, and his heroic deeds are well known in the country!" General Homer looked at the white-bearded old man next to him contemptuously, "All the subjects in the country say that with General Mark, the country is as stable as Mount Tai. , can't resist the ruthlessness of the years. General Mark is old, and he is no longer the original hero! Hailong City is the most important gateway city of our country, and it is an indispensable territory for our country! Now it is occupied by a group of rebels, don't you Agreeing to take it back but persuading the Grand Duke not to send troops, it is ridiculous! Grand Duke, I am willing to lead the army and promise to easily recover Sea Dragon City!"

The Grand Duke of Troy was delighted when he heard the words, and it would be better to be a general of the younger generation.

Those old men only miss their dead fathers and have no respect for themselves!

General Homer is a 7th-level great swordsman with outstanding strength and excellent record. He has also led troops to conquer thieves countless times. It is the most reassuring to have him lead troops! As for General Mark, although he used to be an eighth-level great swordsman, as he got older, his courage became smaller and weaker, and his strength became weaker and weaker. Now it is estimated that he can't even beat General Homer!

Even, the Grand Duke of Troy doubted whether General Mark, who was always sick, could still fight now!

"Grand Duke, I am willing to follow General Homer to recover Sea Dragon City!" Among the crowd, a young general stood up.

"General David," the Grand Duke of Troy looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "With your strength, you are very suitable!"

"Thank you Grand Duke!" David is a level 5 archer, and his strength is quite good.

"Grand Duke, General Mark is right! Now that the situation between the enemy and us is unclear, it is very inappropriate to rush to send troops! Please think carefully and be cautious, Grand Duke!" Another old man came out of the crowd and tried his best to persuade him.

"The land is occupied, how can we just sit back and ignore it?" Someone among the young generals stood up again, "If you don't even have the courage to send troops, why are you talking about slaying dragons with the coalition forces? Please Grand Duke send troops immediately, I am willing to be the vanguard!"

"Ridiculous!" The veteran stood up without a hair on his head. "War is not a child's play. Without accurate information and strategies, rashly attacking will only lead to losses!"

"With the military strength of my Principality of Hales, what's so scary about a mere gang of rebels?"

"That's right! We haven't even heard of that traitor called Owen. What should we worry about? General Homer will go out in person, not to mention Sea Dragon City, even Sacred Dragon City!"

"Nonsense! The war can actually be won by just talking about it?"

"Hmph! I suggest that General Homer recover Sea Dragon City first, and then attack Sacred Dragon City. If you destroy the enemy directly, you don't need to send out the coalition forces! What kind of dragon is strong, and General Homer's strength is enough to defeat all enemies!"

The young generals and the old generals were divided into two factions, and they immediately began to quarrel with each other.

Young Advocate attacked directly and established the victory in one fell swoop with overwhelming force. In the face of absolute power, intelligence and strategy are meaningless!

The old man advocates that it is best to be cautious, and you must first ascertain all the enemy's intelligence and formulate a perfect strategy, so that you can truly win.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the fight was a mess.

The Grand Duke of Troy became angrier the more he heard it, and finally couldn't help but yelled, "Okay!"

His roar made all the generals quiet down, and no one dared to say another word.

"General Homer," the Grand Duke of Troy looked at the old generals who only knew his father, and turned to the younger generation, "I order you to lead the army, the most elite army in our country. General David , General Jerry, as the deputy general, must defeat the rebels in the shortest possible time and recover Sea Dragon City!"

"Yes!!" The young generals Homer, David, and Jerry who received the order all accepted the order excitedly.

"Grand Duke..." General Mark wanted to persuade him.

"General Mark," the Grand Duke of Troy interrupted him, "you are not young anymore, you are almost eighty years old and still working for the country, I am really sorry! From today, you will retire and go home to enjoy your old age .After retirement, all the benefits and salaries given to you by the state will remain unchanged. Moreover, I will recruit your young grandchildren to serve as officials and reuse them!"

Hearing this, there was a trace of sadness in General Mark's eyes. Although he also knew that he was too old and had to retire sooner or later. But I never thought it would be like this! And what the Grand Duke of Troy said about recruiting his grandchildren to be officials is actually a means of appeasement. In the Principality of Hales, the Grand Duke's words are equivalent to the imperial decree. He can't refuse, but he doesn't want his descendants to be officials. "My Grand Duke, I only have one granddaughter Lewis, and she is not suitable for joining the army!"

"It doesn't matter!" said the Grand Duke of Troy, "I will appoint her as Minister of Foreign Affairs."
