Chapter 33 Temporary Powers (1)
As soon as Cons left the palace, Ida and his personal soldiers immediately surrounded Cons and asked questions. Cons had to calmly tell what happened in the palace and the appointment he received.
Ida and the others couldn't help but jumped up happily when they heard this. Unexpectedly, they had just become team leader and were now promoted to brigade commander.
Although the princess said that the brigade commander was temporary, as long as the bandits were wiped out, wouldn’t they be immediately transferred to the regular? Then they recovered all the territory. When the troops returned to the court, they would definitely be able to obtain the position of division commander.
When he heard the beautiful future described by his personal soldiers, Cons could only shake his head with a wry smile.
He didn't understand. His Royal Highness, even though he knew that there were more than 100,000 bandits, he still sent him to lead 5,000 new soldiers to conquer?
Maybe the princess will send other troops to participate in the battle, right? It should be so, otherwise the generals would have opposed it long ago.
Cons quickly put down these questions and was surrounded by his personal soldiers and rushed to the barracks.
The princess successfully concealed her feelings for Cons, making everyone reuse Cons’s affairs for her and think about the monarch’s promotion of his favorite subordinates.
The people in the military headquarters thought about the same thoughts as the personal soldiers of Ida, and they all regarded Cons as the future star of the military headquarters.
A small captain was promoted to the commander of the brigade who commanded 5,000 troops in just a few months after he arrived in the imperial capital. This was a flying speed.
And this time he was appointed as the front line commander. For this person who is known as the God of War, isn’t it easy to destroy bandits and recover territory?
It seems that at that time, they will be promoted to division commander or legion commander because of these military achievements.
Although Gula, the leader of the army, was still the commander of the general army and did not become the marshal, now he is the first person in the Qihongguo army. However, he is old and weak, and secondly, his only son returned after failing the last battle, and he may have to stay in the position of team leader for a long time.
Cons is young and strong, not only has the title of God of War, but also has an amazing reputation and influence among the people.
In this way, the idiot also knows who will take power in the future.
Although the generals could not help but show their favor to Cons, who was lower than their status, the young officials under the charge of delivery, supply, transportation and other work have no problem of being shameless. They are used to going wherever the wind blows.
So, Cons and the others had just returned to the recruits and helped them build regular military camps, and then they rushed over.
Before they could stop, the last time the group of officials who managed equipment came in the carriage. They smiled and said that they forgot to send armor and other things to the last time, and this time they had to make up.
After saying that, they moved the armor down with all their might, and this time they drove away in the carriage without waiting for Cons to say anything.
After inspecting these armors, Ida was surprised to find that not only five high-quality armors used by the brigade commander, but also more than forty armors used by the team commander, and the others were leather armors used by 5,000 soldiers. Ida shouted happily because only heavy infantrymen were equipped with leather armor.
Ida understood that there were only five team leaders in the brigade, and now he gave forty team leaders armor. The extra ones must be on his own, who greatly improved the defense of Bai Ji and other soldiers! When I thought of this, Ida smiled from ear to ear.
The four thousand new recruits under the command of Cons cheered even more when they heard that they were under the command of the man who was accused of the man. The original one thousand soldiers had to whisper and say that they had made money. However, they quickly joined their cheers because they also knew that they had become heavy infantrymen.
Cons was alone in his room. Through the window, he looked silently at the carriages that were constantly appearing outside, the cheering soldiers, and the busy workers.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling and sighed.
Although his expression gave people the impression that he didn't care about the things in front of him, would not be happy to gain status, nor would he be nervous and afraid of being about to join the battle, he knew that he was panicking in his heart.
Because Cons is not a person who is so arrogant that he is very clear about his abilities. He can fight with the enemy without any concessions, and even die in battle.
But now it is not enough to just take care of yourself, but to lead 5,000 young and prosperous young people who are full of hope in the future to win. But I have no such ability at all.
Cons knew that although he had worked as a captain of 100 people and had also been a captain of 200 people. Today, he was still a team leader of 100 people, but he had never commanded them at all and had never led them to the battlefield to win victory.
When he was a captain at the border, he just took them to train their physical strength, and then he was separated from them forever when he performed a patrol mission.
When the princess was rescued and came to the second line of defense, although he became the captain of the two hundred people, he ended the battle without going to the battlefield and followed the princess to the royal city. He didn't know where the two hundred people were now.
When I came to the royal city, I became the team leader, but what else can I do besides accompanying these people to forge the chain?
On the battlefield, he does not have strong physical strength and skillful ability to kill enemies, and he can win. Although no one told him about this, he still understands it.
Cons stroked the hilt of the sword and shook his head with a wry smile. Why didn't he say he didn't want to accept the order?
Maybe it was because of the tone of the princess using an order and the meaning contained the reason that she had to agree to it herself?
I am just a person with brute force. How can I become a commander and lead them to victory?
Cons decided to resign from the princess.
Reputation and fame are nothing to him. Even if he is executed by the princess, it is better than watching the engineers outside lose their beautiful lives because of their incompetence?
Cons sorted out his clothes and pushed open the door. Ida immediately found him, hugged a beautiful armor in joy, and ran over as he shouted: "Sir, look, this is your armor, the armor used by the division commander. The guys in the military logistics department are really nice. You must be very handsome when you wear it..."
Cons walked to lead the horse while listening to Ida.
"Huh? Sir, where are you going?" Ida asked curiously.
Cons held the horse and watched the captain who was waiting for his answer.
Looking at his clear eyes, Cons knew that his decision was right; how could this wonderful young man in front of him die under his incompetence?
He showed a smile that he couldn't tell, and reached out to pat Ida's shoulder, and said casually: "I'll go out for a while, you don't have to follow me. Take care." After that, he turned over and rode his horse out of the military camp.
Ida hugged the armor blankly and looked at Cons's smaller and smaller back. He knew that Cons always didn't like his personal soldiers to follow him, so he could understand the previous sentence that Cons said to Cons.
However, it is a bit strange to say the word "take care" at this time, and it seems to have a sense of eternal separation...
Ida knocked on the head, probably because she was thinking too much.
I will go to the battlefield soon. Maybe the adults have to solve some private matters so that they don’t need to follow them. The words "take care" are just the polite words of the adults. So Ida still went to help allocate equipment with great interest, otherwise the five thousand robbers would definitely fight because of uneven distribution of spoils.
When Cons left the barracks, Princess Alice was anxiously saying to the Grand Priest Isna: "What should I do? I am determined to do something bad. In order to prevent other ministers from opposing Cons' promotion, she hurriedly decided on Cons' appointment.
"But I didn't expect that Cons only brought 5,000 people to suppress the bandits. What should I do? There are more than 100,000 bandits just there!"
Isna was listening to the princess's words with a calm expression, but when she heard this, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble. She suppressed her anxious mood and said slowly: "Is it enough that your highness will send more troops to participate in the siege?"
"Oh, I wanted to send more troops afterwards. After all, I didn't say that Cons was just a brigade to attack. But those generals were all concerned about him and refused to send troops. It was so annoying!" Alice said angrily.
Isna understood that Alice was very proud of her power on the surface. Although the generals had expressed allegiance to Alice, they still held the military power firmly in their hands and refused to hand it over. Although there was a suspicion of self-respecting, who said Alice had not ascended the throne yet!
As long as Alice does not ascend the throne for one day, she will not be able to truly hold power for one day.
The matter of ascension to the throne involves the dispute over power and throne. The people of the Queen's faction would not have allowed Alice to ascend the throne so easily.
Perhaps, this determines why Alice is desperately looking for an opportunity to regain the title of Conscar Palace.
Alice does not have an army that is truly in her hands. Even if she ascends to the throne, she is just someone else's puppet.
These thoughts flashed, and Isna began to do her duty as a great priest, and she spoke out: "If you forgive Lord Kane's crimes, maybe your Highness, you can dispatch several armies from General Gula."
Alice shook her head helplessly, "The problem is that we can't convict Kane at all. Although the information shows that Kane abandoned her subordinates and fled back, the evidence shows that Kane returned from the death battle; Gula is very smart and will not leave any handle."
Isna frowned. Although the military headquarters should have obeyed the king's orders, it has always been controlled by those generals. Without the permission of these generals, there is no way to recruit a soldier, let alone mobilize the troops.
Isna suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Highness, how about you, why don't you add a team of brigade and baggage teams to Cons?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Alice didn't understand Isna's statement.
"Although the army is in the hands of those generals, and without the orders of these direct commanders, you may not be able to mobilize even Your Highness, but the baggage teams of these troops are not noticed by these generals.
"You can recruit strong people and form Lord Cons' direct baggage team. As for the number of people, you can have a little more people. After all, Lord Cons wants to go deep into the war-torn area alone, logistics is very important, and it is reasonable to have a little more people." Isna smiled.
"Yes, if you equip these strong people with weapons, you will be light infantry after a little training, and you can participate in the battle!" Alice clapped her hands excitedly.
After saying that, Alice wanted to order immediately, but the maid suddenly reported: "Your Highness, Lord Gula asks for a meeting."
"It's not long since I went down, why is Gula back?" Alice was a little confused.
Isna guessed: "Maybe it was for Lord Kane to plead for him; although Lord Kane was not guilty on the surface, the annihilation of his entire army made it difficult for him to make a comeback."
"Hehe, this is a good time to trade. It depends on whether Gula is a human being." Alice smiled and gestured to the maid.
Isna smiled and immediately put on a veil. She was not used to showing her appearance in front of outsiders.
After Gula's greeting, Alice asked Gula to sit down and said with a smile: "Mr. Gula, don't worry too much about victory or defeat. Let Kane recuperate at home for a while. When the recruits are recruited, he is still a team leader who has made meritorious service for the country and has the opportunity to wash away his shame."
Alice deliberately stressed out the words "having a chance".
