Chapter 71: Revocation of Posts (Part 1)

Hearing the news from the cavalry, the 20,000 infantry were suspicious and discussed in groups of three or three.

"No way? Is Lord Carlo such a person?"

"I think it's a rumor. When I first joined the army, Lord Carlo was a recruit like us, or was it that we recommended him to become an officer under the order of Lord Cons. It can be said that Lord Cons promoted him. How could he be so ungrateful?"

"Don't be so sure, this matter may be true. Don't forget the 100,000 gold coins tributed to the princess last time. Didn't he just deceive us into thinking that he had been embezzled by Lord Cons and then paid tribute in his own name?"

"How do you know he paid tribute in his own name?"

"Oh, I am the one who escorted gold coins to pay tribute last time. How could I not know? On the tribute form, there were 100,000 gold coins written on the tribute letter, which was written in black and white with His Royal Highness Carlo's tribute 100,000 gold coins!"

With the help of some people who are interested, these rumors quickly spread throughout the army. Not only the infantry, but also the cavalry were also confused. Lord Carlo was the leader of the first infantry team. How could a commander above ten thousand people betray Lord Cons?

However, since the cavalry were not in a unified organization with Carlo, they were just confused and did not discuss as fiercely as the infantrymen.

However, these discussions were all intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Carlo's personal soldiers. The soldiers who followed Carlo into and out of the palace military headquarters had already been regarded as Carlo's group by the soldiers. Although there was no accurate evidence, everyone excluded them and did not go to them to confirm, so Carlo had no idea about the following rumors.

The two cavalry team leaders did not care about the situation below. Without conclusive evidence, it was normal for these soldiers to not believe it. Once there was conclusive evidence, they would believe it.

The conclusive evidence that the two cavalry team leaders were waiting for was soon presented to the world, which was to stamp Princess Alice's private seal and issue a nationwide reward order to Carlo.

Seeing the reward order posted on the city gate, all the soldiers of the Cons army were shocked. After finally digesting the shocking news, almost all the officers and soldiers of the Cons army immediately followed the orders of the two cavalry team leaders to pack up the guys, transported 200,000 dan of grain that had not been sent to the grain warehouse, and quickly left the royal city.

Carlo, who was handling military affairs at the military headquarters with his personal soldiers, met an officer of the Imperial Guard who rushed in. The officer said to Carlo anxiously: "Sir, your army suddenly gathered outside the city. It seemed as if it was about to leave the capital. Your Highness asked the officials to come and ask if you issued an order to set off?"

"What? I haven't given any orders? Are you from the cavalry unit?" Carlo said as he walked out.

He would ask this because when he thought, the only two cavalry division commanders were dared to do this. It is understandable that everyone was at the same level a few days ago and suddenly became subordinates. So Carlo was not nervous and decided in his heart that he should beat them up. After all, he was their chief officer, and this would be better for the princess.

"There are cavalry and infantry. Judging from the number of people, it seems that all the troops brought by the adults have left the city." The officer of the Imperial Guard said.

Carlo didn't react at once, and was stunned for a moment, "What's going on? You guys go to the military camp to see, and the others go to the city gate with me!"

After he gave orders to his personal soldiers, he accelerated his pace and ran out.

When he arrived on the city tower, Carlo was surprised to find that countless soldiers were stationed in an orderly queue outside the city, and it seemed that they were about to set off! What's going on? Why do these guys dare to act without permission? He originally wanted to scold the guards who guarded the city gate for letting people out, but when he saw the imperial guards standing at the closed gate, he remembered that the soldiers guarding the city gate were already outside the city.

Alice and others who heard the news also rushed to the city tower.

Alice asked Carlo dissatisfiedly: "Carlo, what's going on? Why did you suddenly launch a military operation? Why don't you report to me first?"

Alice was indeed dissatisfied. She didn't expect that Carlo had just taken power and threw herself, the monarch, aside.

"Please forgive me for your crime, I don't know what's going on." Carlo hurriedly knelt down and apologized.

"You don't know what's going on?" Alice was stunned for a moment, then scolded: "How did you become the commander of the legion? You can't even control your subordinates!"

While Carlo was timid, he was preparing to send his personal soldiers out of the city to find out what was going on.

At this moment, the personal soldiers sent to the military camp came back. As soon as they saw Carlo, they reported: "Sir, except for those from the royal city, all the others left the camp, and they also took away all the military rations!"

"What? Why is this happening?" Carlo was shocked. In the troops he brought, there were not enough people from the royal city, which means that he suddenly became the team leader.

"The left-behind people didn't talk to us at all, and ignored us, so we didn't know why the army left the camp, so we had to bring a few of them over and ask the adults to ask questions."

The personal soldiers were indignant and pointed at several soldiers who were brought by their personal soldiers.

"Carlo, what's going on?" Alice was confused when she heard it and couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness, my minister?"

Before Carlo finished speaking, a deafening voice sounded outside the city: "Carlo's ungrateful wolf! Carlo's ungrateful wolf! Carlo's ungrateful wolf!"

"White-eyed wolf? Carlo, why do your soldiers call you a ungrateful wolf? White-eyed wolf refers to an ungrateful guy, Commander of the Carlo Legion, what did you do to make the soldiers blame you like this?"

Alice asked with a bad face. Although she didn't know what was going on, she also understood that Carlo had lost the trust of the soldiers and could no longer command these soldiers.

The officials present also looked at Carlo with a strange look on their faces, and even secretly discussed whether Carlo embezzled military pay. However, even so, it is impossible for the soldiers to describe Carlo as a jealous wolf.

Carlo's face turned white as soon as he heard the soldiers' names he called him.

He couldn't understand what he had done, and asked the soldiers to use the title of this ungrateful person to blame himself. He never blamed the soldiers for no reason, and it was even more impossible to embezzle military pay, nor did he betray the soldiers. Why did they scold him like this?

Carlo responded to the princess's questioning for a while, but he couldn't explain it, because he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he could only shake his head in pain at Alice's expression.

Isna, who was not as nervous as Alice, said to the soldiers who had been bowing their heads: "Soldier, please tell me why your companions left the capital and treated Lord Carlo like this?"

A soldier looked up and saw that Isna was asking, so he couldn't help but perform religious etiquette. Then he heard him say, "The soldiers will leave the capital because they think that the capital is not in danger and have to rush back to participate in the war to regain the territory."

Alice was so angry that she wanted to jump off her feet when she heard this. These guys were really speaking vernacularly. Is the king safe? Without the troops of 40,000 people, the king would be safe! Before Alice wanted to speak, Isna said to the soldiers first: "You know you are a believer by looking at your etiquette. I believe you also know that the doctrine prohibits believers from lying, but this time I forgive you, please tell the truth."

The soldier bit his teeth and nodded and said, "The soldiers were dissatisfied with Lord Carlo, thinking that he was an ungrateful wolf and were unwilling to obey his orders anymore, so they were ready to return to Lord Cons to fight."

Carlo, who was so angry that his orifices were smoked by the name of the ungrateful wolf, shouted in grief: "Why do I say I am a ungrateful wolf? Why am I sorry for you?"

The soldier glanced at Carlo disdainfully: "You are not an ungrateful wolf, so why did you hand over everyone's spoils in your own name as soon as you came here? You did not make any contribution, but became the commander of the legion. Lord Cons, who made great contributions to the kingdom, was still the commander of the brigade?

"You have not been sorry for us. Without our recommendation, can you become an officer? Without Lord Cons' order, can you lead the troops to support the capital?

"You ungrateful wolf, but you naturally regard all your contributions as your own. The blind kings and the kings who have named you as the commander of the legion, they dare to be proud. Bah! If I had known that you were such an ungrateful wolf, I would not vote for you at the beginning!"

The soldier didn't know what was going on, but he became more and more angry as he spoke. Finally, he cursed and implicated Alice in.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked, and no one thought it was because of this.

Carlo's eyes were ignited and defended himself: "I am the princess's minister. Is it wrong to hand over these spoils to the princess? Since it is the princess' appointment, what's wrong with me being the commander of the legion?"

The soldier curled his lips at Carlo and sneered, "Swish, don't put gifts on your face. We didn't say that you shouldn't pay tribute. We think you shouldn't pay tribute in your own name. It's really shameless. These spoils belong to our entire army. Only Lord Cons is qualified to pay tribute in his name!" The 100,000 gold coins tributed to the princess last time was originally an open and honest thing. Lord Cons agreed, but you made us think that these gold coins were embezzled by Lord Cons so that you can pay the gold coins to the princess in your own name. Look at your behavior, and you dare to say that it's not an ungrateful wolf!"

As soon as these words were said, all the officials and nobles who knew the situation at that time looked at Carlo with strange eyes.

Carlo's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but say in a daze: "What's going on? I forgot to mention Cons' name, so the people below misunderstood that I want to compete for me? I brought gold coins to pay tribute, and I actually said that these gold coins were tributed by Cons? If it weren't for my reminder, Cons wouldn't remember to pay tribute, so it's not wrong to pay tribute in my name. Why do they think I was wrong?"

The officials and nobles on the side immediately understood what was going on when they saw Carlo's confused expression and heard Carlo's murmuring.

The commander of the legion, Carlo, may have a trick in fighting, but he is completely idiot in life! Even if you remind Cons to pay tribute, then when paying tribute, you should pay tribute in Cons’ name. How could you throw your boss aside and pay tribute in your own name?

And what I can't stand the most is that I became the commander of the legion through my superior's power, but I didn't even help my superiors ask for me, but instead took it as that wasn't the case?

No wonder the soldiers would say he was an ungrateful wolf, no wonder he was almost cut by his boss when he was young.

Alice ignored these things at all. She shouted angrily to the soldier: "Who taught you these words!"

She didn't care about whether to compete for merit or not. She cared about the prestige of the royal power. The commander of the legion she appointed was not recognized by the soldiers. This was a contempt for her prestige! So she thought that someone was inciting the soldiers, and the target of doubt was the first to be put on Cons, because this matter was only beneficial to Cons.

She was so sad and angry about her thoughts, and her mind became confused.

"Your Highness, no one teaches me these words. As long as you ask someone from the Cons Legion, I believe they will say almost the same as me." The soldier said without being arrogant or humble.

Alice was stunned when she heard this. She confirmed that the soldier was not an ordinary person. When she was about to order the soldier to be arrested, the soldiers on the city tower were in an uproar. Everyone turned their heads and found that the Cons army outside the city began to travel far.

Alice immediately became anxious and told them to leave. Wouldn't the royal city become an empty city? She hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Get them back! Tell their officers that this palace will enthrone two more cavalry commanders!"

She now understands that the biggest incitement of this incident was the two guys who were enthroned as division commanders. They must have been dissatisfied with seeing Carlo, who was at the same level, and they suddenly became their bosses. They believed that as long as they satisfy their desires, the matter could be calmed down.

Dozens of imperial guards ran wildly, and the people on the city tower saw that these imperial guards suddenly squeezed into the sea of ​​people and disappeared.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the formation of the army paused for a moment. Everyone thought it had succeeded, and a smile immediately appeared on their faces. However, the smile had not yet fully unfolded, and the army resumed its normal march, which immediately made everyone lose their faces.

As dozens of cavalry guards came back, Alice asked: "What's going on? Did they reject the enthronement of this palace?"

"Your Highness, the two division commanders said that the situation had been out of control and they could do nothing. If they accepted the canonization, they would be abandoned by these soldiers, just like Lord Carlo."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the Captain Carlo Legion who was still in a daze.

The words of the Imperial Guard made Alice's face extremely difficult. The Imperial Guard was so scared that he swallowed his saliva before saying carefully: "One of the division commanders also said that if His Highness had conferred Lord Cons as the marshal and ruled the entire army, even if Lord Carlo was conferred as the commander of the legion, nothing would have happened."

Hearing this, the old nobles present thought that the division commander was not in good intentions. Once he said this, wouldn’t it be that they would have resisted the orders because they were dissatisfied with their own submission to Carlo and refused to obey Lord Cons?

Those who don’t know the truth think that Lord Cons was dissatisfied with not being named Marshal and threatened with military command! And Isna did not understand this way. She sighed secretly, just as the commander of the division said, if Cons had been placed on Carlo’s head, I believe these things would not have happened. It would be a mistake, every step is wrong.
