Chapter 396 Generals' Pompeii Chat
City Guard Headquarters.
In the main building, there are two activity rooms. Generals, staff officers, and officers can come to the activity room to relax during their breaks.
Activities include reading, playing chess, chatting, and drinking tea.
There are two activity rooms, and the smaller one is for top personnel.
The existence of the City Guard is not to protect the capital. Instead, it controls the interior of the capital, and is more responsible for the security of the capital.
Because the capital is a magic city, it is very difficult to conquer from the outside. The tower spirit of the capital can mobilize the defense and offensive systems in the city. Even a large number of legends cannot break this magic city.
Therefore, with the complete closure of the magic city, entry and exit are prohibited. People in the city are more low-key and cautious, and the Royal City Guard is more relaxed.
During afternoon tea time, the generals gathered in the activity room, drinking tea, chatting, and playing chess together. No one reads books.
Although the generals usually read some military books, they forget it now.
"I didn't expect the king to reach an agreement with the White Eagle." Ma Bu, Marquis Jones put down the coffee in his hand and sighed.
As the only general present at the time. Ma Bu, Jones was also shocked by the strength of the Pompeii family, especially the bellicosity and bravery of Old Sol, which impressed him even more.
He was even called a bloodthirsty monster.
The artifact was broken, but it was still an artifact. The bloodthirsty monster was at least not comparable to the legendary weapon such as the Black God Spear.
But he was still surprised that the king reached a political agreement with the other party.
At this time, the Chief of Staff, Grand Duke Lipton, came in and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. It seems that increasing the number of nobles on the ground, especially the ambitious Pompey and his son, is indeed disadvantageous to the king. But the biggest enemy of the kingdom right now is the New Party. Compared with the New Party, Pompey and his son are nothing. Besides, the king is considering the issue of the Orange Balance. White Eagle, Libya, and Ferger form a triangle. You are all generals, you should know the distribution of power, and the triangle is the most solid."
While speaking, Grand Duke Lipton picked up a bottle of wine from the buffet table and blew it, then took some biscuits, cakes, and of course meat.
Knights are not little girls, their favorite food is always meat.
"Your Excellency, please do not underestimate our military quality. We certainly understand the triangle. But the problem is that although the White Eagle is powerful, their foundation is too shallow. Whether it is the number of strong men in the family or the vassal, such as the Great Knight. Or the management of the territory, such as the strong cities and strongholds, they are far inferior to Libya and Ferg. Do you think that with such a White Eagle, it can really form a solid triangle with Ferg and Libya?"
One of the eight nobles, the general, the Earth Knight, Doron, Marquis Smith, was somewhat dissatisfied with the words of the Chief of Staff and expressed his doubts.
The king and the old prime minister are very confident in the Earl of White Eagle. This is their keen sense of smell, which they have detected from the intelligence, and they value Luther Pompey.
Others may not have such a sense of smell.
Marquis Smith is a warmonger, brave and good at fighting, but he does not have the sense of smell of the king and the old prime minister.
Grand Duke Lipton is different. He is the chief of staff and has the vision to coordinate the overall situation. There is another important reason.
Grand Duke Lipton trusted the king and the old prime minister very much.
"Since the king and the prime minister have reached an agreement with the White Eagle, it proves that the king believes that the White Eagle can stabilize the triangle. We don't need to worry about this, General."
Grand Duke Lipton picked up his favorite sausage with a fork, ate it in two or three bites, and raised the wine to blow it, saying.
These words made the generals unable to refute.
Whether it is King Odin III or Prime Minister Grand Duke Buffett, they are all very prestigious people. Although the generals are outstanding in military force and can beat Prime Minister Grand Duke Buffett.
But in politics, it is impossible to be compared with the prime minister.
"I also believe in the judgment of the king and the prime minister, but there is one person who makes me very doubt whether the White Eagle can stabilize the triangle." Ma Bu, Marquis Jones was silent for a while, and said solemnly.
"Who?" As a fighter, Marquis Doron Smith took over the words without thinking too much and asked.
"Duke Ferger? This Grand Duke is indeed a dangerous person." Grand Duke Lipton had finished the food on the plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then stood up to pick up some more.
Knights always have big appetites.
"Duke Ferger? Isn't there only Libya in Orange? Isn't Duke Ferger the perennial second? And compared with Libya, Ferger is not even a normal second. Because the traditional second has the strength to challenge the boss. But Duke Ferger doesn't have that. This second can only be described in one sentence. Apart from Libya, Duke Ferger is the strongest, so he is the second."
Doron, Marquis Smith's words are a bit complicated, but it can be summed up in one word, the second is not worthy of the name.
He does not have the ability and strength to provoke the boss.
Doron, Marquis Smith is a warmonger. His intelligence and analysis skills are too poor.
But Grand Duke Lipton is the chief of staff, and Marquis Jones is also a wise general.
"It's not like before. In the past, the Earl of Libya united many traditional nobles around him, such as Marquis Parker, forming a situation of dominance. Now it's Duke Ferger and the Earl of Libya fighting alone. The traditional lion king may not be the opponent of the ambitious young lion. What's more, the White Eagle is so weak that it can only be regarded as a cub."
Marquis Jones said. He watched Grand Duke Lipton eating crazily, and he couldn't help it. He went to the buffet table to get food, but there was basically nothing left.
The knights' appetites were too big. He walked out of the activity room, called an ordinary servant who was serving outside the door, and said, "Go get more food, mainly Warcraft meat sausages. We don't like cakes and can't eat enough."
"Get more cakes, I like them." A general immediately interrupted.
"Ovdo, are you a woman? Cakes are for women." Marquis Jones teased.
"Women can eat meat, so why can't men eat cake?" General Ovdo retorted.
After the episode, the topic returned to the main topic.
"Duke Ferger is indeed extremely dangerous. Whether White Eagle can stabilize the triangle depends on whether it can deal with Ferger, otherwise the kindergarten teacher will be torn into pieces. The king's triangle arrangement will be ruined. At that time, the ambitious young lion will bite the traditional lion king. No matter who wins, it will be disadvantageous to the king."
For the analysis of the wise general Ma Bu, Marquis Jones, Chief of Staff Grand Duke Lipton still agrees very much. This is a big hurdle.
For the newly rising White Eagle.
"For us, these are actually too complicated. As long as the king tells us to go to fight, we will go. I still care more about the military strength of the White Eagle family. Earl White Eagle is a very powerful character. I want to compete with him if I have the chance."
General Ovdo admitted that his IQ in this area is not good, and he cares more about fighting.
"Earl White Eagle is indeed very powerful. I heard that he is only in his early forties. He is really young." Ma Bu, Marquis Jones had to admit this.
As long as White Eagle is given time to develop, it will be very powerful.
But this hurdle.
It is hard to judge whether White Eagle can overcome it.
Young lion, Duke Ferger.
His Excellency the Grand Duke.
