Upon seeing this news, Meg's first reaction was indeed a little shock.
The grand marshal of the military was the head of the Roth Empire's military. A person who controlled the empire's military was only second to the king in the Roth Empire. His real power and prestige far exceeded the two princes.
It was precisely because of this that the position of the Roth Empire's grand marshal had been vacant for many years. The military was directly controlled by the king, who directly commanded the eight marshals.
But now, the king had given such a powerful position to Alex. His actions were extremely strange.
However, Meg was not a newbie who had just arrived in this world, after all. He quickly guessed the Roth King's sinister intentions.
Even if Andre gave the king to him and allowed him to return to Rodu, he wouldn't take a second look.
Although it was basically confirmed that Josh had colluded with the demons, orcs, and elves in the rainy night assassination more than three years ago, that was Rodu, after all. So many 10th-tier powerhouses had been mobilized to cut off all contact with the military. Meg would be ashamed of his own intelligence if he said that Andre knew nothing about it.
And the last time in Rodu, Sean had colluded with the demons to kill Irina, there was also the shadow of the royal palace behind it.
Sean and Josh were fighting to the death in front of the stage, but what really caught Meg's attention was that king who didn't show his emotions on his face.
This old man was very evil.
As for why he suddenly announced that he would make him the grand marshal of the military at this juncture, it was not difficult to figure out the reason after thinking about it carefully.
In order to save Irina previously, he had killed the Ancestor of the Void, Benson, and announced his return in a high-profile manner. It could be said that he had become famous again.
The title of the number one knight of the Norland Continent was not for nothing. It represented absolute power and absolute appeal in the military.
And two months later, the Norland Continent would be negotiating a peace agreement.
If the negotiations could be carried out at the negotiating table, he would become an important bargaining chip for the Roth Empire.
And once the negotiations broke down and the various races resumed war, his existence would also make the various races more wary.
He didn't even have to do anything. It was enough to just hang his name there.
With Sean's and Josh's hatred for him, they would definitely not make such a suggestion to the king.
This gave Meg a deeper understanding of that old fox's cunning.
Compared to his two impatient sons, Andre, who had been sitting quietly on the throne for decades, was more like a wolf that hid its fangs.
That was a good plan. Given Alex's character, he would most likely agree to it because of his relationship with the Roth Empire.
But he wasn't Alex. He was Meg.
Whoever made him unhappy, he had to get back at them.
"Gina, Phyllis, Anna, I'm going out." Meg threw the newspaper into the trash can and said something to the kitchen before pushing his bicycle out.
…
The lights were dim in a completely sealed meeting room within the City Lord Mansion. Three figures were seated in front of a round table. They were relatively far away and their expressions were somewhat grave.
"It seems like King Andre doesn't intend to maintain the original peace agreement. Even if he doesn't start a war, he will most likely request for the current territory to be reset," Michael said with a grave expression.
"It's not just Andre. The demons, orcs, forest trolls, elves, and all the other races that had improved greatly in the past 100 years want to reset the territory. The demons were the ones who made the most noise back then. However, after Benson and six 10th-tier powerhouses were killed by Alex and Irina, they lost a lot of power, so they restrained themselves a lot. "The Gray Temple's lord, Rolan, who was wearing a gray robe, shook his head slightly, and spoke in a low voice.
"We had already expected this, but we didn't expect him to push Alex to the front. Initially, all the races were still guessing if Alex would return to the Roth Empire. After all, the royal family couldn't wash their hands clean of what happened back then," Novan said with a frown with a hint of worry.
Michael also frowned. "This will depend on Alex's attitude. Whether he will return to the Roth Empire or not. Once he returns, the cracks in the Roth Empire's military that were caused by his mysterious death back then will be wiped away. The Roth Empire's military will be completely united and have a terrifying cohesion. This is not a good thing for the other races. "
"Given Alex's character, he most likely won't say anything about this. Once he agrees, all the other races will have to include him in the Roth Empire's camp. In this way, the Roth Empire's power will surpass all the other races except the giant dragons. The peace agreement in two months' time will be led by them. To us, the situation will become very disadvantageous, "Rolan said.
"Yes. Although Alex is just one person, he has become a person who can affect the balance of all the races in the current situation of the Norland Continent." Novan's voice was filled with emotions.
"The goblins and dwarves have already formed an underground alliance with us. The two of them are currently the two weakest races on the Norland Continent. If the peace agreement doesn't go smoothly this time, the two races will be forced to hand over their territories, or even face the danger of being attacked. With the combined efforts of us and the two races, the steam locomotive tracks are being laid very quickly. However, we still don't know how many bargaining chips we can get in the negotiations, "Michael said.
Rolan nodded, and said in a low voice, "Chaos City's position is to try our best to keep all parties on the negotiating table. Once the negotiations break down and we enter the stage of war, Chaos City will most likely become the first target."
Novan smiled, and said, "Then, what we have to wait for now is Alex's response. I hope he won't disappoint us this time."
…
The response that the entire Norland Continent was waiting for came much faster than anyone expected.
"Howl!!!"
A loud cry spread throughout the Dragon Islands, attracting the attention of all the giant dragons on the various Dragon Islands.
"Who is this familiar voice?"
"It's Alex's mount! Alex has appeared! "
Very soon, the Dragon Islands were in an uproar.
The entire Norland Continent was waiting for Alex's response to the Roth Empire's king's command. In the end, he appeared on the Dragon Islands.
The purple-striped gryphon glided over the dragon islands arrogantly and finally landed on the Glass Dragon Island in the center.
Alex, who was sitting on the griffin's back, held his sword with one hand, and left two lines of words on the Glass Dragon Pillar:
I'm not going to be the grand marshal!
I want this world to be peaceful!
— Alex
It wasn't until the purple figure disappeared into the horizon that the Great Elder of the Glass Dragon Tribe ran out in exasperation. He pointed to the sky and cursed, "Alex, you f * cking carved words on our tribe's sacred object again! Don't run if you dare!!! "
"Great Elder, why didn't you stop him when he was still here? He's already far away now."
"Idiot, if he's not far away, do you dare to force him?"
"I've always listened to my heart …"
