Almost everyone in the Taidian Palace showed surprised expressions.
"Your Majesty, I object!" An old man from the military spoke first: "Count Rody... Well, he is the Marquis. Although he has made extraordinary contributions to the empire, he is still young after all, and his seniority in the military is too high. Qian. The Thunder God’s Whip is the elite of the Imperial Army, an invincible force! Marquis Rody’s prestige is not enough to shoulder such an important task!”
This old man from the military was about fifty years old, and Rody knew him originally. When he pretended to be the Duke of Tulip, these old guys from the military had helped him many times in the hall. Unexpectedly, the situation was now reversed.
His words were immediately echoed by many people.
Qi Yu unexpectedly did not speak.
First of all, he quite appreciated the young man Rody. During the sneak attack on Thunder City, Sieg had fought side by side with Rody, and he admired the young man's strength, courage, and judgment.
Secondly... Anyway, he is about to become the son-in-law of the Tulip family. As long as the Thunder God's Whip is in the hands of the Tulip family, the rest is no big deal.
Third time... Before attending today's meeting, Sieg went to the Tulip Duke's Palace to visit Miss Nicole. Miss Nicole hinted to Sieg that no matter what decision His Majesty makes today, he must not object!
Although His Majesty's decision is too shocking now, considering these three reasons - Sieg is also a smart man after all. Such a change is just a transfer of military power from Duke Tulip to his brother-in-law... Anyway, it is all in the hands of the Tulip family, so it doesn't matter much. Moreover, the Duke has indeed not shown up for too long, and has been neglecting the legion's affairs for too long.
Besides, he is still supporting him. Those armies were all trained by him. If this guy Rody has any objections, he will not be able to defeat them. As long as he is here, he can't make any big waves!
And there was a vague and strange thought in Sieg's mind - looking at this young man standing there, Sieg always had an inexplicable feeling of closeness in his heart, as if he was an old friend of his who had gone through the life and death test of bullets and bullets together. Like his comrades... This strange feeling really puzzled Sieg.
Seeing the objections from the soldiers, Andy squinted his eyes and smiled: "Everyone, my decision is actually Seth's decision. Everyone knows that Seth, the Tulip Duke, has been recovering from his injuries after the war and has no ability to worry about the military. Military affairs in…”
"But there is still General Sieg in the army. If Your Majesty is worried about military affairs, it is better to let General Sieg command the Thunder God's Whip for the time being, and then resume control of the Thunder God's Whip after the Duke recovers!"
An old guy from the military retorted again.
Next to him, Marquis Caroline couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that His Majesty is determined to push his illegitimate son to the center of the stage! And he wanted to train Rody as the heir... Well, first he married the Tulip family and was firmly tied to the most powerful pillar of the empire. And then take over the military power... Hehe, your Majesty is really good at it.
Thinking of this, Marquis Caroline suddenly saw His Majesty looking at him with a faint smile, and was startled, knowing that His Majesty was signaling him to speak.
Marquis Caroline smiled bitterly secretly, it seemed that he had to be the bad guy again. He coughed slightly. It immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people in the hall.
The old guys in the army frowned. They all knew that this old fox was not a good person. In the past, he helped the emperor to deal with the military and the Tulip family.
"Your Majesty, I think your decision is correct!" Marquis Caroline smiled: "Although Marquis Rody is young, he has experienced the Holy War that just ended. And Roland.
After Lu's envoy went on a mission, it fully proved that his ability was extremely excellent. Moreover, Marquis Rody has been serving under the Duke and must be very familiar with military affairs. at last. Speaking of status and identity... With the title of Marquis of the Empire and the brother-in-law of the Duke of the Tulip family, isn't this status enough to serve as the commander of a legion of the Empire? "
"But... that's not an ordinary legion after all! It's the Empire's most powerful Thunder God's Whip! It's the backbone of the Empire!" An old military general immediately retorted.
"Okay." Andy spoke in time and said in a deep voice: "This decision is actually the intention of Duke Tulip."
What does the Duke mean
The old men in the military looked at each other a few times. Although there was some suspicion in their eyes, their voices lowered.
"Your Majesty!" Finally, a die-hard said: "I still feel it's inappropriate..."
"Oh? So what do you mean?" Andy asked with a smile, without any anger at all.
"I think that although Lord Rody is young and promising, the commander of Thunder God's Whip is a top priority after all and cannot be easily changed. Now Duke Tulip commands the Central Cavalry Corps and is supported by tens of millions of soldiers. With such prestige, The Marquis of Rody is incomparable. Changing the commander without authorization may cause instability in the military! If your Majesty must cultivate the Marquis of Rody, you might as well find another suitable military position for the Marquis. "
Andy's eyes showed a bit of cunning, and he looked at the other people: "Do you think so too?"
"Yes!"
"So, where is Marquis Caroline?" Andy looked at the old fox again and said.
The old Marquis thought about it and felt that it was indeed difficult to raise Roddy so high rashly, so he smiled and said: "I have no objection. Your Majesty, please make the decision."
Andy smiled slightly, and that smile made Roddy feel a chill in his heart - every time Andy showed such a smile, someone was going to be unlucky.
"In that case, then I will take back my life..." When he said this, the old men in the military breathed a sigh of relief, and then Andy changed the subject and said: "But Marquis Roddy continues to stay in the Royal Guards. It is no longer suitable. I decided to send him to the local army... He has just returned from Roland Continent and is naturally the most familiar with the situation in Roland Continent... Well, Milo has stayed in the Northern Army long enough. He should report back to the headquarters of the imperial capital and then stay at the headquarters... The post of commander of the Northern Army will be taken over by Marquis Rody! "
As soon as he said this, the old guys in the military all showed weird smiles, as if they were trying to suppress the urge to laugh wildly, and they all looked at Marquis Caroline with ill intentions.
The old fox was shocked and angry at the emperor's affectation. Obviously, his family's military power has been lifted! !
But... can you win the fight
Let his nephew compete with the emperor's illegitimate son, maybe even the future emperor, for military power? joke! Unless your family doesn’t want to be mixed up!
The old guys in the military didn't expect that things would change so much when the emperor changed the topic. Seeing that the old Marquis who was supposed to be a thorn in his side was being teased by the emperor, they were very happy in their hearts and they all deliberately loudly agreed.
The old Marquis was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. I could only nod in agreement.
Sieg narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but glance at the emperor. Suddenly I remembered that after the war, His Majesty the Emperor ordered himself not to allow all the Thunder God's Whips to return to the imperial capital. Instead, he left 20,000 Thunder God's Whips to be stationed in the northern theater, nominally to assist the Northern Army in guarding the huge number of troops. Prisoners of war... Now it seems that there is a profound meaning in it. It goes without saying!
His Majesty the Emperor has long wanted to remove the military power of the Caroline Marquis family! Everything has already been arranged. If the Caroline Marquis family dares to disobey His Majesty's orders, if the Northern Army dares... hum.
Twenty thousand of the most elite Thunder God's Whips stationed in the northern theater are enough to control the situation!
After the meeting in the main hall, Andy ordered Roddy to be left alone to talk in the back. The rest of the people left one after another.
Because Ling Tian finally got along with Old Fox, the Minister of Military Affairs, the old guys in the military had a great impression of Rody. Before leaving, they all encouraged Roddy after hearing the words. Finally, Sieg also walked up to Roddy, with a kind smile in his eyes. He whispered: "Your Excellency Rody. Congratulations."
Rody looked at this old comrade who had been by his side since he joined the army, and felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but hold Siege's hand, and said with a smile: "General Siege, I need your help in the future in the north." ”
Sieg's hand was held by Rody, and he felt a bit strangely familiar in his heart. He couldn't help but smile: "You are about to become a member of the Tulip family. I hope you can add glory to the Tulip flag!"
After that, the two shook hands and said goodbye.
"What on earth are you planning?" Roddy followed Andy to a secret room in the palace and immediately asked loudly.
"Boy, don't be so chattering." Andy lay down on the chair and smiled lazily: "I'll give you a good job, are you still not satisfied?"
Roddy's eyes showed a vigilant look: "Good job? I think you have other plans? The civil war in Roland Continent has already begun, but you sent me to the north. Do you want to take advantage of them while they are fighting fiercely? , led troops across the sea..."
"I don't have that intention." Andy shook his head: "I just want to use you as an opportunity to remove the military power of the Marquis Caroline family. That old man is a good hand in government affairs, but it's a pity that he is a little too ambitious to remove them. The family's military power also allows him to work more honestly in the future and stop thinking about useless things. "
Rody nodded, believing it.
Next to him, Tian Lie walked in through the flash door. When he saw Rody, he laughed and said, "Boy Rody, you are back. You don't have two parts missing from your body, right?"
Rody glanced at Fatty angrily: "Thanks to your help, I barely managed to avoid being killed by the spiritual consciousness you created!"
"Aha!" The fat man laughed and scolded: "I mean well, don't be ungrateful."
The three of them laughed and scolded each other for a while before Rody told some special things about Roland, such as the secrets about the temple, the secrets of the Sauron royal family, the identity of Prometheus, etc., etc. These cannot be said in the main hall meeting.
When Fatty was summoned, there was no time to talk about this in such a hurry. At this moment, Roddy finally told the whole story.
Andy frowned in the end: "Kara... the Dragon Clan... things in this life are all intertwined, but it's a bit of a headache."
Rody sighed: "Although Kara is not dead, after all, he did not get the true consciousness of the soul, and he was seriously injured, and he could not recover in a short time. Basically all the holy knights of the Dragon Clan are dead, and the guy who calls himself the Dragon God , is just a son of the demon dragon, and I killed him. The remaining dragons must have nothing to worry about... Anyway, those are the affairs of Roland Continent, and we can't control them for the time being... "
Andy smiled slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case." He smiled slyly: "I think that Kara is not simple, and the divine record you mentioned... humph, seems to be even more not simple."
Rody sighed: "I have been wondering about Shenlu for a long time, especially the memory fragments of the son of the demon dragon that I saw. Humans and dragons in ancient times seem to be different from what we see in modern times... I always feel that it has a lot to do with Shenlu.”
Andy shook his head: "I don't want to think about these things for now. Let's discuss it slowly when we have time."
Rody nodded and said: "By the way, when I came back, I saw a lot of people from the Flame Warriors in the Imperial Capital. What's going on? Why did the Divine Religion suddenly mobilize so many Flame Warriors to come to the Imperial Capital?"
Andy glanced at Fatty, who laughed and said, "Boy, do you remember that after we killed that big snake, I told you that I have a surprise for you when you come back?"
"What?"
Andy nodded and casually created a magic barrier to isolate all the breath and energy fluctuations in the room. He then walked to the back of the secret room and took out a long and narrow box.
I don’t know what magic material the box is made of, but it seems to have a faint brilliance.
"This box can block the breath emitted by the things inside. It is something from the divine religion. You will know it when you open it!"
Rody was curious, so he slowly opened the box, and immediately felt an extremely strong dark aura emanating from it, as well as that cold murderous aura!
I saw that the box was filled with black air, and the cold light flickered, revealing something...
"Dracula's Spear!!!" Roddy exclaimed: "When did you steal it? How did you do it?"
The fat man smiled slightly: "Well, I'm afraid I have to thank those vampires..."
