Queo did not conceal the anger in his heart because Charles II had been too incompetent these days.
"I … To be honest, Efta's attack is too strange."
Being questioned so aggressively, Charles II understood that if he didn't explain himself well today, he wouldn't be able to fool them. He explained everything he knew in a low voice. Queil had left to gather the Fledgling Dragon Legion on the third day of Eiffel's attack. He had thought that it would be good enough if Eiffel could take down Dunkirk at most. In the end, after a week, Eiffel had almost pushed to the front of the Royal City.
This matter was too outrageous, and Charles II's explanation made him frown even tighter. Finally, Queil interrupted him, "It's not like I haven't studied the way humans fight. Which one of the things you said is the same as a normal war? The reason why Rayena City was taken down has not been found yet? Did the enemy fall from the sky? "
Charles II had been guessing for a long time. Rayena City had been closed for a long time, and the only news came in the morning after the city was occupied. But the letters only said that Viscount Cartland and the nobles in the city were captured at a banquet, and there was no other information … He really could not figure out what was going on!
"Their advance is frighteningly fast. Even our army can't match it. I don't know what kind of changes their army has gone through, but the current situation is … I have to personally lead the army to fight them to the death. "
Charles II's words were impassioned, but in fact, he felt very guilty. Everything he was doing now was to leave an impression on Queo. He knew what position he held in Queo's eyes, so this gesture was necessary.
Queo did not have the time to pay attention to his performance at the moment. The other lords knew that he had gathered the Young Dragon Legion, and the purpose of this was actually to express an attitude of "I'm serious." But in fact, he really did not intend to throw the Young Dragon Legion into this war …
As the Red Dragon Lord, Queo was not a war maniac. Of course, he understood the result of throwing the Dragons into a human war. "Breaking the balance" always meant a reshuffling of the power structure. Although helping the royal family to win this war could strengthen the Red Dragons' position in the future, the problem was: would the other Dragons sit back and do nothing?
The Fledgling Dragons were a deterrent force, and the other dragons had their own trump cards as well. The games and contests between the Dragons were actually reflected in various aspects. This time, Roland was able to suppress Victor by relying on the space-time rift, which was like a pie falling from the sky. Queio was ambitious, and at the same time, he had enough courage. Hence, he used this opportunity to play this game of chess.
But what about Roddy? He almost flipped the chessboard.
Queo stood there and pondered for a moment before saying, "I will intervene in this battle."
Charles II was overjoyed, but before he could express his gratitude, the Red Dragon Lord continued, "If you continue to rely on your current organizational abilities, I don't think you will be able to win this battle. If I want to win, I need control. "
"It's my honor! It's my honor! "
"It's all control."
His red pupils stared at Charles II. The latter bowed and said, "No problem … If you are willing, anything is fine!"
*****
When Charles II completely handed over his sovereignty, Sally, who was in Hollier, had a completely different mentality from him.
The nominal Duke of Eiffta was now sitting in the Magic Tower every day, reading the news from the frontlines, and at the same time monitoring the food transportation projects of the various nobles in Eiffta.
War? The entire Eiffta did not mobilize any army outside of Elson's system. When the group of nobles found out that Roddy had almost beaten the royal family to the ground, they all felt an indescribable panic. They all came to Hollier to inquire about the news, or through certain channels to "kindly" warn Sally: Roddy's power was too great, and Duke had to be restrained as soon as possible!
In response, Sally just smiled. Restrained? Of course, she understood the tricks of power. Many people secretly mocked her, the Duke, for "existing in name only" — but in reality? If she specifically created another force to restrain Roddy, although she had the power to control others in name, when the time came, it would probably be Charles II who came knocking!
Many people coveted power unabashedly, but these guys did not realize that … they did not have the ability to lead an army and flatten the frontlines for 300 kilometers in ten days.
Although Sally was not old, she had experienced difficult battles in Rose Cross, and her understanding of military operations was much clearer than those armchair strategists. Therefore, when she saw that Roddy had dealt with a total of more than 20,000 enemies through airborne and blitzkrieg, she understood that the entire kingdom was about to enter an unprecedented new era.
The old system was too backward. If one were to say that Charles II had done poorly … In fact, although he was stubborn, the troops under him were real. Her two Grand Knights had previously judged that if they were to command the battle, they could only rely on the Holy Cathedral to carry out passive defense. And to determine the winner, it might take more than half a year of tug-of-war. If there was a situation where the city was defended to the death, it was not uncommon to besiege the city for three or four years.
But now? In the past, the time it took for a letter to travel a thousand kilometers was almost over by then.
Roddy had carried out reforms in Efta, and this reform had already seen results in the war. The most important point was that Sally saw the ability of the enfeoffed "great nobles" to drag down the overall strength of the country.
Without centralization of power, the efficiency of the entire country's operations would be appallingly low. Sally used to think that this was normal, but now that there was a comparison, even a fool could see which was better.
And because of this, there were more and more nobles attacking Roddy, and even discordant voices began to appear in the cabinet.
"Rhys, oh Rhys … Even now, you still refuse to come to your senses, then no one can save you."
She threw the information about Earl Rhys on the table. The "CIA" had actually been watching this Earl for a long time, so to this day, every move of this great cabinet noble would be presented to Sally almost every day.
It was not that Sally did not give him a chance. After Roddy took down the city of Rayena, she carefully observed his reaction. The situation was already clear. If he could cut off contact with Charles II, then these things might be over.
But the other did not stop there. Instead, he worked harder to leak all kinds of information about Efta, and even began to make excuses about Roddy's requisition of food in Efta. He also secretly contacted other nobles to secretly tamper with the process of handing over the food.
At first, Sally did not understand why he was so stubborn, but now she understood: continuing to stay in the cabinet was far from the power and wealth he could have with Charles II.
The cake was only so big, and the system of centralization of power occupied most of the cake, giving less to others. And people like Charles II, who could not have more cake, could only give a large piece of power to people like Earl Rhys.
But from this, it could also be seen that the current nobles were short-sighted, which really made Sally feel pity … Because they did not realize the future after Roddy had this kind of war machine. Most people only saw the "Kingdom of Karen", but this continent was more than just the Kingdom of Karen.
These internal problems could be solved after the real end, because the current amount of food delivered had already exceeded the expected standard. Even if these people played tricks, it would not have much impact on the war on the front line. And the problem Sally was facing now was the news that she had just learned from Sally yesterday …
"Father, if you were standing here, what would you do?"
She thought about it and realized that her father could not make a judgment on this kind of thing. Because all the problems that followed were beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.
So, Sally had no one to refer to. She now had to stand in Duke's position independently and make a decision.
"Wider vision, higher … Don't make the same mistake as them."
She reminded herself, and her eyes also moved from the huge map of the Kingdom of Karen to the sky outside the window.
"Phew."
Slowly exhaling, Sally held the Viper's Kiss scepter leaning on the table and stood up.
*****
May 21st, Dragon Tower.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly changed in the past two days. The sorcerers in the Dragon Tower received a collective order to stop classes from today and start the "Magic Practice Course" — in other words, to go to the front line to participate in the battle.
The sorcerers were really not interested in fighting, but the nobles and the royal family that they were loyal to had reached the most critical moment. Now they could not wait for the servants in the palace to put on armor and join the army. How could they let this group of combat sorcerers stay idle?
Ignoring these sorcerers who were complaining but did not dare to show it, in the laboratory of the instructor of the Dragons, Kardashian finally waited for her father, Victor, who rushed to the scene after receiving the news.
The Ice Dragons actually did not intend to participate in the war with the humans. His attitude was similar to the Crystal Dragons, and they both planned to watch from afar. But after hearing his daughter's anxious message, he finally put down the unimportant things in his hands and specially rushed over.
But this father soon found that the things that Kardashian said were not true at all.
"Kardashian, I think you should have your own judgment. In order to achieve their own goals, humans can lie about anything. Do you think you will be fooled by his flowery words? "
