Chapter 299 Confrontation by Sea (1)
Three cavalrymen wearing black uniforms that were different from imperial uniforms but somewhat similar were galloping on the road quickly. When the people on the road saw them, they immediately hid aside.
The three cavalry ignored these civilians who respectfully gave way, nor did they care about the teenagers who were obviously dressed in nobles and looked around on horseback, but they rushed straight past anyway.
The aristocratic boy who was shocked by the fast horse and cursed, saw the signs of the three cavalrymen and muttered to each other: "It is the spy cavalry directly under the Governor, something must have happened."
"Enemy invasion? Is it impossible? The governor of the Seaside Province has the largest force. Who dares to come to you if you are tired of life?"
"Who knows? But something big must have happened. Let's go quickly, and we will rush back and see for a long time!"
This proposal was immediately approved by all the noble boys, with several horses following behind the cavalrymen. The people on the road were even more distracted, calling their father and mother.
The former governor's office has been changed to the Haibin Governor's Office, and the original division commander also appointed himself as the Haibin Governor's Office.
Although the empire has fallen into an era of warlord separatism, no arrogant person has yet to be called king and emperor. He has claimed to be the marshal, general, provincial governor, prime minister and other imperial official ranks.
Although the position of governor, which governs the military and political affairs of a province, was abolished by the empire hundreds of years ago, since the governor's military strength is the largest in Haibin Province, and this position includes military power and regime, which is very consistent with the current status of the warlords, the warlords and powerful people in Haibin Province all recognized it, and everyone was very jealous of this position.
It is also said that there were already warlords from other provinces who followed the example of the governor of the self-reliant province.
Seeing three cavalry rushing straight to the Governor's Mansion, the guards were ready to intercept them. But when they saw the three cavalry's outfits, the guards not only retreated immediately, but also helped the cavalry dismount.
The former division commander and the current governor, the governor, had no sense of a soldier at all. Instead, it made people feel like an old nobleman who was pampered and elegant in every move. Seeing the three cavalrymen, he squinted his eyes and asked softly: "Which guys are fighting?"
"Governor General, the Khairus family sent troops of ten thousand people to attack the Third Fleet's headquarters." The Knights hurriedly reported.
"oh?"
The Governor General was just surprised and returned to peace and said, "One land and the other sea, why did the two sides fight? And aren't the Khairus family afraid of offending the wealthy navy?
Do you dare to take the initiative?"
"Sir, the reason why the Kairus family is like this is because the Third Fleet's garrison suddenly transported a group of imperial troops of tens of thousands from the sea. It is estimated that the Kairus family thought that the Third Fleet had ambitions for the land, so they would start the war first." The cavalry replied.
"So that's it, well, according to the third fleet's status in the navy, these imperial soldiers should have been hired from the Feidu Peninsula. Regardless of them, let them fight to death, anyway, the Khairus family dare not exterminate the Third Fleet.
"Well, pass this news to the little warlords, who have long been looking forward to the opportunity to take advantage of troubled waters. Also, send people to continue to monitor the battle between the Khairus family and the Third Fleet to see if there will be any accidents." The Governor waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" The cavalry immediately took the order and left.
Seeing the cavalry disappear, a young man immediately appeared behind His Governor. He asked His Governor carefully: "My father, will your indulge in the warlords below you so much? Will they spy on your position as the Governor?"
"Son, you have to know what it means to be the governor. I have taught you a lot these days. Do you think our family can rise up in this troubled times?" The Governor said with squinted eyes and kindness.
"Well, my father, although I know that our current strength is indeed impossible to compare with the imperial capital as a few princes and nobles, but no matter how we say that we are the number one in the territory of the coastal province, even if my father is willing to surrender to the final winner, we are stronger and we have a higher status in the past, right?" the young man said carefully.
The Governor shook his head: "You are still not ready to give up the current day of wind and rain. The great momentum can indeed exchange for a higher status in the future, but don't forget that once the first warlord to secede a province, especially if this warlord is not a royal noble, it will be dazzling enough to attract everyone's attention. At this time, such a prominent leader of a powerful force cannot easily surrender to others."
"You can't easily defect to others? My father, why is this so strange?"
The young man was puzzled.
"Don't say whether the subordinates are willing to surrender to others for their own glory and wealth, just talk about what would you think if you were the man from the imperial capital and the warlords who were separating the entire province suddenly surrendered?" asked the Governor General.
The young man was stunned, but he quickly said: "If you have nothing to do, you will be robbed. You must be welcomed on the surface and be wary behind your back. But we can resist and just surrender when we are evenly matched?"
The Governor nodded: "It's good, but you don't understand the mentality of the successor emperors, especially now that the princes are independent and the throne is fiercely competitive. Because they are not the founding kings, they need strict iron fist and lofty prestige. Once the war begins, they will never compromise, so they don't want to fight evenly and surrender. For the sake of face, they will not accept it."
"Uh, then, we really have to get a handful of people away?" the young man frowned. He was really reluctant to be in such a high-ranking and do whatever he wanted.
The Governor sighed: "Ah, in fact, when the emperor died and his military status was destroyed, we reported military information as soon as possible, and at the same time, we did not rely on the warlords who would either flee to another country or be destroyed, and we had no other choice."
"Relying on the future emperor? How can we know which prince will win in this period? Isn't this a forceful way?" the young man said angrily.
"This is also impossible. Those who compete for the throne like this can only pray that they will stand in the right position, otherwise they can only wait for destruction. And we little bastards can only be small characters that will be shown at the beginning, and the protagonist is not something we can do." The governor said helplessly.
The boy was speechless and said a little unwillingly: "My father, as he said, we can only go abroad to be rich? But when we leave, what should we do if the soldiers under our command do? Disband?"
"Haha, the rich man is also very good, especially in the Wilt Free Alliance, where money is the most important. As for those soldiers, we can spend some money before leaving." The Governor smiled.
"Sell it to the most powerful province in the future?" the young man asked wisely.
The governor said: "It is not necessarily the biggest one. Anyway, whoever gives more money will give it to whom. Of course, you don't need to consider these things at this time. After all, we are the most powerful now, and it will take a long time to appear a warlord that can threaten us. We can still make a fortune for a while. Do you know why we don't leave immediately, but have to wait for such a warlord to appear?"
The young man pondered for a moment and nodded and said, "I understand that we can only leave safely when a warlord who can attract the attention of the world appears."
"Well, it's very good. Since we don't have that ability or ambition, we must learn to be low-key. Family inheritance is more important than anything else." The governor nodded with satisfaction.
Although the young man was not very happy to admit that he did not have that ability, he still recognized the family heritage his father said, so he nodded obediently and said yes.
In a forest, several men dressed in tight black were quickly passing through the forest.
It is said that scouts are the smartest and most powerful soldiers in the army. This is true. They are the elite scouts in the Kailush army. Their mission is to investigate the deployment of the Third Fleet. As long as you pass through this forest, you can appear on the side of the Third Fleet.
You can already see the exit of the forest. Several scouts subconsciously slowed down and became alert. No one can guarantee whether there are people guarding the forest outside, be careful not to make a big mistake.
But just as they stopped and were about to discuss something, the sword flashed and the scouts fell down without saying a word.
Next to their bodies, two men in black clothes, covered their heads and faces only showed a pair of cold eyes. One of them silently took a narrow weapon that was only the length of his arms and retracted the knife cover of his arm, while the other kicked the body and said disdainfully: "What is not a life or death dares to spy on the information of the Lord's army? Do our secret guards do not exist?"
The secret guard, who was like nothing, frowned and said coldly: "So much nonsense, no wonder you have been in the eighth-class secret guard for so long. As you do, if you want to speak at the level, just change your career as an inner guard." As he said that, he squatted down to search the body.
The secret guard who was talking too much seemed to have suffered a big blow, and he squatted down, whispering in a low voice while checking the body: "It's unreasonable, you and I go out to the secret camp at the same time, and my ability can fight with the fifth-class secret guard. Why can only stay at the eighth-class secret guard level because of my long-term remarks? But you jumped to the fifth-class secret guard level? I'm not convinced!"
"If you don't accept it, go to the chief and talk to him, or show your ability directly in front of the master. It is not impossible to reach the sky in one step." Another secret guard said without raising his head.
"Oh, who doesn't want to show his abilities before the Lord? But there is no chance. The Lord has occupied the secret guards who are waiting for a while. Where can we be the turn of the little shrimps?"
The Secret Guard said helplessly.
At this moment, the two petite figures and women's secret guards appeared in front of them, and they saluted the fifth-class secret guard: "Team leader, there are no other enemies around."
The fifth-class secret guard stood up and nodded, and a whistle, and the sound of quick and slight footsteps immediately came from the forest. The eighth-class secret guard was close to the two female secret guards: "How about it? Is it okay to perform a mission for the first time? If you have any trouble, just tell me, why am I also a senior, and it is necessary to help the juniors."
Those two female secret guards were so tricky that they didn't know what to do. Being taciturn and listening more and speaking less is the foundation of the secret guards. Why is this senior talking so much?
The fifth-class secret guard sneered: "Don't underestimate them. They have already been the ninth-class secret guards as soon as they left the secret camp. I believe you will salute them soon. Okay, now the whole group sneaks into this forest in a fan shape. Once the enemy scout is found, kill them without any hesitation!"
"As for orders." Dozens of very light sounds came from all over the forest.
