Chapter Fifty-Three Dark Tides (Part 1)

"Where is this?" Cons looked around in confusion. The sky was gloomy, the clouds were pressing very low, and the rain couldn't fall, giving people a feeling of depression.

At this moment, I was standing in a stream with unknown area. Cons was a little surprised. He was not assassinated, so how could he be in such a strange place?

Are you dead?

Cons smiled indifferently. Is this hell? It's such a weird place.

Just as Cons was about to bend down to look at the slightly sticky stream, what was going on, a rush of horse hooves came from a distance.

Cons knew that it was the sound of the cavalry charging, and immediately prepared to dodge to the side, but suddenly realized that his feet could not move!

Just when Cons was surprised, there was a sudden shout of killing behind him. Countless light infantrymen who could not see their faces clearly, wearing simple clothes, holding broken swords and swords, rushed towards the cavalry emerging from the darkness without hesitation.

The broken limbs and broken arms, the flying head, the sprinkled blood, and the hissing shouts were displayed beside Cons. He could not move, but the figures were fighting beside him, but did not cause any harm to him. Cons then realized that this was an hallucination.

"The first time I have dreamed in the years since I joined the army, it was like this. Why didn't I have a dream of eating and drinking when I was a child?" Cons looked at everything in front of me and smiled helplessly.

Just as Cons was thinking about it, a light infantryman suddenly stuffed a broken knife to Cons and shouted to Cons: "Little guy, come with me!"

Cons saw clearly the face of the light infantry. It was the captain of the squad when he first joined the army. While taking the broken knife, Cons found that he could move, and immediately followed his first commander and rushed towards the enemy without thinking.

In this battle, I will not be injured or breathless. I can kill an elite cavalry with just one knife. Everything is so false.

It’s not that dreaming makes people unable to tell the truth about the false, so why can I make such accurate conclusion that I am in a dream?

Cons exhaled, no longer thinking about these problems that he would never understand, and looked up at the heavy sky.

At this time, the gloomy and dim sky suddenly cracked a crack, and a dazzling but warm sunlight shone on Cons.

Maybe it's time to wake up...

"Sir, are you awake? That's great!"

As soon as Cons opened his eyes, he heard Ida's voice coming from his ears, and then he saw Ida's red eyes.

The personal soldiers guarding the neighborhood of Cons immediately reported to the outside world happily.

Is this the city lord's mansion? Cons's bed is by the window, so when he saw the scenery outside the window, he immediately understood where he was.

While looking around, Cons also checked his body as soon as possible. In addition to the pain in his chest when he inhaled and his weakness in his whole body, his limbs were normal. He was lucky and survived again.

"How long have I been lying?" Cons sat up with Ida's help and asked.

"Sir, you have been lying for more than a month." Ida hurriedly said after receiving the water brought by his personal soldiers.

"More than a month? How is the bandit suppression mission going now?" Cons thought of his mission and couldn't help asking immediately.

"It's not going well. Except for Lord Carlo's killing a group of robbers more than a month ago, there was no trace of robbers again." Ida said while serving Cons to drink water.

"Is there enough food?" Cons asked again.

"Mr. Carlo robbed a batch of food and returned, which was enough for the army and the people to eat for the first half of the year. With the developed fields, the food was temporarily worry-free." Ida replied.

When Cons wanted to ask something, an urgent footstep came from outside the door. After the door opened, more than a dozen officers rushed in immediately.

"Sir, finally, wake up! Is it okay?" Carlo looked at Cons happily.

For more than a month after Cons fell into a coma, Carlo was always frowning because he didn't know how to write the letter to the princess.

Writing truthfully, I'm afraid the princess will come, and writing fake ones will be deceived... In the end, he had no choice but to give it back accordingly, and of course he also emphasized that Cons was just in a coma. He believed that with the wisdom of the princess, he would not have done the move to visit Cons here.

"Thank you all for a while, how are the army?"

After some refusal and modest, the officers said, "Sir, our army has selected strong and strong among the refugees. Now it has more than 30,000 people. After discussion, the Xiaguan and others have organized 10,000 of the strong farmers into left-behind troops, stationed in various places, and the remaining 20,000 people are organized into combat troops."

Cons was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he had become the commander of the 30,000 troops in just over a month. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Seeing Cons' headache, Carlo couldn't help but smile and continued, "The organization has not changed, and there is no problem with the officers. It's just that due to too many soldiers, it's because of the fact that the current officers are not easy to manage soldiers. You need a large number of appointments. After all, each team leader now has 6,000 people, which is very inconvenient to manage."

As soon as these words were said, the officers were filled with joy. They never expected that their origins would become the commander of the brigade in just a few months.

Ida hurriedly reminded: "Sir, although our army is treated as a division, it is still a brigade organization in the military department archives. If it is adapted without any arrangement, the military department may cause trouble."

Hearing this, the officers' faces darkened. They all knew that the big bosses in the military headquarters looked down on the young Lord Cons.

If the establishment is expanded, the military headquarters will not be afraid, but will definitely cause trouble for adults. Even if they successfully recover part of their territory, they will be able to offset their merits and demerits.

Seeing everyone frowning, Carlo smiled and said, "We only need to add a few deputy positions to each unit to solve the problem. In the past, when the army was carrying out tasks alone and the leadership level was insufficient, this method was adopted."

"Haha, this trick is good. On the surface, it is the team leader, but in fact I also command five deputy team leaders with thousands of subordinates!" Ma Duo, the third team leader, immediately clapped his hands and smiled.

Cons, who was very distressed about the appointment of the officer, certainly immediately accepted Carlo's proposal.

"Okay, the adults just woke up and needed rest. Let's act according to their orders." Ida began to fulfill his duties as a captain of his personal soldiers.

Just as everyone woke up and looked embarrassed to take back to Cons, a personal soldier suddenly broke in and shouted, "Sir! The great priest came to express his condolences on behalf of His Highness the Princess. It is reported that it is only ten kilometers away from the city at present!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked. The great priest actually ran to this chaotic place? Carlo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

I haven't received a reply from the capital these days, so I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal. I hope the princess won't come with me secretly, otherwise if there is a situation, it will be troublesome.

"Hurry, Ida, help me up." Cons respected the great master, the real master, very much.

Sitting in a military carriage, Isna, wearing a veil, was closing her eyes to rest, while her lively maid Xiaoqin looked at the surrounding scenery through the curtains curiously.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any scenery in the distance, because the eyes were filled with dense and majestic cavalrymen.

Xiaoqin, who was deeply impressed, turned her head and asked, "Miss, this time we came to the front line to express our condolences, isn't your princess a little too nervous? She actually sent more than 10,000 cavalry as escorts. She didn't see any dangerous things along the way. Do you need such a strong force?"

Isna opened her eyes and smiled, "The way we set out from the capital was passed by Lord Cons. The bandits and robbers along the way have been wiped out, so you will feel calm all the way."

Xiaoqin blinked and asked in confusion: "Since this is the case, why do we have to bring so many guards?"

"Most of these guards will be left to Lord Cons for command."

When Isna said this, she closed her eyes again, and couldn't help but think of Princess Alice's anxious and regretful expression when she heard Cons was assassinated.

But I was like this at that time, right? Anyway, I couldn't think of anything except the idea of ​​coming to Cons immediately.

I thought Princess Alice would go to the front line to visit Cons in person, but unexpectedly, before she could even dissuade her, Princess Alice gave up and instead entrusts herself to come on her behalf.

Seeing Alice's expression, Isna understood that this is the tolerance that the superiors must make. If she is in Alice's position, she will definitely not be able to do such tolerance. In other words, Alice already has the thinking logic of the superiors.

I just hope she won't give up Cons, otherwise...

Alice, who was far away in the royal capital, sighed helplessly at the sunset.

She was very eager to visit Cons, but her reason stopped herself.

Not to mention what kind of crisis will Cons fall into when he is on the front line, even if his heir leaves the capital, he doesn't know whether he can come back...

After all, the capital was calm on the surface, but the waves were surging below. The people from the Queen's faction had no intention of giving up on the counterattack.

The army is controlled by itself on the surface, but in fact it is controlled by the heads of each army.

These guys stand on their own side in the battle for heirs of the throne, but in order not to lose power after they ascend to the throne, they actually agreed with the queen's proposal to postpone the throne, and now they can only be the heir to the throne, not the king.

Originally, I thought Gula was his confidant, but I didn't expect that even if I wanted to mobilize the army to escort Isna, I was rejected by making excuses.

In the end, he had to use the name of forming the Imperial Guards to draw cavalry corps from various units, and then he organized more than 10,000 troops to escort Isna into the front line.

However, because of this, I discovered that something was wrong with the heads of each unit.

When he ordered the formation of the Imperial Guards, the queen's army around the royal city, including the military factions, entered a state of vague alertness. When he sent the Imperial Guards to the front line, the alertness of these troops was lifted.

The princess understood that they had compromised, and in order to retain the power in her hands, the queen faction and the military faction had compromised, and that they were the only ones who were alone!

I originally thought that the military headquarters did not obey orders because they wanted to gain status with the help of military power. Now it seems that they have the intention to divide the kingdom.

But he was not a failure. Cons already had 30,000 troops, plus the Imperial Guards, so there were 40,000 people, which was also considered a legion, which was his own legion.

After the land was regained, this legion could be expanded to at least three legions after it was reclaimed. This was not a legion that was guarding the rear and had never seen the world, but an elite force who had experienced war.

With these troops, one can truly ascend the throne as king. Let’s see who else dares to disobey the throne at that time!

While Alice was gritting her teeth in the palace, Kane was asking her father in confusion: "My father, why do you want me to be a city defense force in Werth? You must know that the city defense force behind them is all in the unit. In this way, I have been demoted?"

Gula, who was looking at the book, heard this and couldn't help but fold the book and scolded, "You came in a hurry and just asked me about this? What a fool!"

Kane curled his lips and said nothing, but anyone who saw him knew he was not convinced.

Gula also saw his son's expression and snorted coldly and said slowly, "Don't you admit that you are a fool? I ask you, what is our family's status in Wilter City?"

"Who doesn't know that it was where our family became prosperous? All officials, including the nobles in the nearby fiefdom, were closely related to our family. We were in the city of Wirt, but we were the only one to say.

"However, what does this have to do with me being the commander of the city defense force? There is no war in the rear, and there is no mission to suppress bandits. Without merit, how can I make meritorious and promoted?" Kane still looked unhappy.

"Silly, what is meritorious? The above said that if you have made merit, you will have merit without merit. If you have made merit, you will have merit without merit! If you want to be promoted, isn't it just a matter of the big guys? Do you really think that the princess will do whatever she wants?"

Kane asked a little confused: "What's going on? You don't want me to control Wilter City, right? You can just send a family member to solve this problem?"

Gula said with a grudge: "Of course I know that I can just send a family member, and I can even control the city of Wilter by just saying something! But son, I only have you in my blood. Do you want to give the power of a city to your cousin?

"You know, Wilt City is the capital of mining. One-third of the iron ore in the kingdom is the city. If it weren't for the once-in-a-lifetime thing that happened last time, most of the nobles would die. We, the nobles with remote blood, wouldn't even think about this city!

"Owning this city is like owning a large number of weapons. Who knows if those relatives will throw us aside and revitalize their tribesmen after they control such a city?"

Kane frowned: "I know this, but now what I say, my father also occupies two-fifths of the military headquarters. Instead of expanding this share of the market, he stays away from the royal headquarters? We are not short of money."

"You... I'm so angry!" Gula was so angry that she walked back and forth for a few steps, pointing at Kane and scolded, "Aren't you very smart when you were a child? Why did the older you were, the more stupid you became?"

Kane curled his lips and said, "Of course I know that you are gradually controlling the lifeline city behind you, and then taking the opportunity to expand your strength and finally achieve the goal of controlling the kingdom. But I don't want to be the team leader. Why do I say I am also a team leader?"

"It seems that my son is not stupid either, but I want to tell you that the undercurrents are surging under the kingdom now, and a large whirlpool will appear at any time. If you are not careful, you will be swept into the bottom of the sea.

"I let you stay away from the capital. In addition to expanding your strength in the rear, I also leave blood for our family. Finally, I tell you that you are nominally the leader of the regiment, but the more troops you have under your command, the better, and it is better to become a legion!"

"So?" Kane's eyes immediately glowed, and he was very excited when he thought of commanding thousands of troops.

"But you have to be careful not to make big fuss. You can do whatever you want in private, but on the surface you must maintain obedience to the military." Gula reminded.

"I understand!" Kane nodded quickly, and he wanted to run to Wilter City immediately.

"Wait, take your wife with you, work harder, only if the bloodline continues, our efforts will be valuable!" Gula called out Kane, who was about to leave, and said seriously.

When Kane heard this, his face immediately became gloomy. Then he nodded helplessly and muttered: "Do you think I don't work hard? But I just don't."
