The 101th chapter

"Next," Beller said in a casual tone. "The little queen issued an order to defeat Byron and his gang of subordinates as rebellious, and deprive him of his territory, official position, title and property." He smiled, with three points of praise and three points of regret in this smile.

"This... General, you don't seem to be very dissatisfied? But in this way, Eagle City belongs to that little queen." Robin said.

"No, I don't think it's disapproving. I think that little queen is amazing... Well, it's really underestimated by everyone. Think about it, no matter how she calculates, she is not thirteen years old this year, or eleven years old? When you were thirteen years old, I guess you'd blush when you came to your house to say hello to a guest?"

"But why are you..."

"It should be said that our little queen performed very well. When her subordinates launched a mutiny, she could still escape in that chaos... This alone deserves praise. Not only that, she could also think correctly in this crisis situation, especially after escaping from Eagle Falcon City, she also correctly judged the situation and judged that Byron's confidant arrangement in the Guards Legion was still short and was not enough to truly control the entire legion... In the end, she not only did not take the opportunity to escape, but instead launched a sudden counterattack, seizing military power in one fell swoop with the identity of the queen, and in turn forced Byron to escape in a panic... Legend has it that King Mark Remiz, who established Groone in the past, was brave and strong by nature, and brave and decisive... It seems that after so many generations, the bloodline of the Mark Remiz family has not deteriorated at all, and even a mere little girl can do this level."

"You can't escape by relying on her. You should have a few loyal guards protecting her. General, you are too proud of that little queen. This action may not be her idea at all, but the idea of ​​those loyal guards."

"Robin, this is just like a general. Good ideas don't have to be thought of by the general - if so, what do you need so many staff members to do? The key is not to come up with an idea, but to determine whether it is a good idea or a bad idea and put it into practice. The tactics proposed by the subordinates are the tactics that the subordinates think of, and the military achievements achieved by the subordinates are the military achievements of the general!"

Berel smiled again. "If our little queen was not just eleven or twelve years old at this time, but had grown up. She was not ambitious and rebellious like Byron, but had a little loyalty. I would take the lead in persuading our king that we must never have territorial ambitions for Groney...at least the time has not come."

"Wait, General, what you mean..." Robin was puzzled. "But now Duke Byron has escaped... No matter what happens to him in the future, at least he has completely lost his influence on the Queen and the Royal City. In other words, the Queen has become a chess piece and a chess player..."

"Ah, from this perspective, it's true. Unfortunately, this chess player is destined to disappear immediately."

"Why? Theoretically, Byron should be the one who will disappear, right? The Queen did not declare him a traitor and deprive him of everything..."

"Robin, how much do you know about Groney?" Beller interrupted Robin. "In particular, how much do you know about Byron?"

"Not many... I heard that he is not a qualified regent... not very competent. I think his abilities are also limited. If he was really a smart person, he would not have been a regent for so many years, and he carefully planned a coup and ended up with such a result."

"I've seen him. But that time you happened to be not by my side. I remember you went home..." Berel said. "To be honest... well, since the last meeting, I have been very concerned about his affairs. Byron is by no means a fool. In fact, from the perspective of a politician, he is a very outstanding politician. He is a master of power... quite visionary and ambitious."

"But why did I hear that Grooney became bad under his governance?" Robin replied. "It's still this person... well, his talent is actually not suitable for an important position as the Regent?"

"No, he is very suitable." Berel replied. "I was ordered to become the commander of the coalition and drive the barbarians out of Groney's territory (of course it is all up to the back of the charlatans of the church)... It was when I knew him. At that time, the position of the Regent of Byron was still very unstable. Several people tried to contact me and wanted to use my strength to drive him out of the Regent. Of course, Byron also... made many promises to me and gave me a lot of gifts. In my opinion, he was definitely a smart person, a very capable and smart person. The only disadvantage that he could talk about was... he was very ambitious. It is precisely because of this that I tried hard to support him to continue working in the position of the Regent."

"What's the meaning?"

"Man's desires are endless. Ambitions are like grass, and they will die in the absence of external conditions. But when the conditions are right, they will continue to grow and grow. Byron's ambition back then was probably just to become the Regent, but now... it is not now, but quite a long time ago, he has regarded the acquisition of the throne as his goal. Such a person is the best candidate for us."

Robin never expected the plan to be so deep. Well, he knew that Berel was a long time ago, but he really didn't expect that he had a far-sighted approach to this level.

"Robin, whether he has the ability or not is one thing, or whether he has the will is another thing. This Byron is like this. With his intelligence and talent, he could have ruled Groone well, at least not worse, but for his ambition, he would put this intelligence and talent in another aspect..."

"Sir General, do you mean...he is doing sabotage in a planned manner?"

"That's what it means. In fact, it is not appropriate to use 'destruction', but it should be more appropriate to use 'poaching'. He wants to create an environment suitable for him to seize the royal power."

"But... doesn't he have a more suitable way? He can let his son marry that little queen..."

"From my perspective on people, I am sure that his ambition will never allow him to make such a safe but long choice. For example, this coup will definitely not be a temporary intention, but it has been brewing for a long time."

"But...but...he failed after all..." Robin said in confusion. "The long-planned action ended in failure. This is a proof of incompetence, right?"

"Greed will deceive human intelligence," replied Beller. "In addition, a wise man will have a mistake, and this failure will not be a heavy blow to him."

"General, he has been deprived of territory, official position, title and property!" Robin shouted.

"Has he really lost this?" Berel asked back.

"this……"

"If he loses these, then he is an ordinary person. Any sheriff can summon several subordinates to take him down, or even kill him directly. At this moment, he has either escaped from the border or his head has been sent to the Queen of the Falcon City. But none of these happened. The Queen's orders were ignored... Byron's subordinates still followed him and were loyal to him. His territory was still under his control... No one in Groney dared to fight against him. On the contrary, his orders were quickly followed. He took thousands of troops back to his territory and could always get enough supplies along the way. Dear governors, the lords all came out to greet him, and provided supplies, a comfortable residence, and were more obedient than a domestic dog."

"Ah...but, why..."

"That's why I say that the amazing little queen will soon disappear from the position of chess player," said Beller. "She has no influence on the whole country. Her orders are ignored."

"Why...why is this happening?"

"This is Byron's ability. I said that he is a smart and talented person. A smart and talented person who has been carefully planned for many years must have made preparations in all aspects. In fact, things like the Guards are just a few exceptions... This is easy to understand. In any case, Mark Remiz is also a royal family of Groone. It is normal for a century-old worm to die without being stiff. It is normal to have a few remaining loyalty forces."

"But..." Robin thought. Beller was a good mentor. Although he was a shameless and liaring person (Robin still doesn't understand whether this was Beller's nature or his disguise), he could explain the whole thing in detail. "Even if Byron installed a close confidant loyal to him in the local area, why would the little queen disappear soon? Groney's Guards Corps is the most powerful force in the entire country, and Byron has few troops in his hands. If Byron cannot quickly reach a compromise with General Rafa, he will definitely have no strength to defeat the Guards Corps, let alone counterattack the Royal City."

"That's great, Robin, you're getting better and better, and you know how to think about problems with your own mind." Berel appreciated.

"Sir General, you wouldn't tell me that the struggle between Byron and Rafah in the past was all disguised."

"Of course not. What's the point of pretending to be this? Who will show him? If he had done that Rafa, then the Guards would have long become his loyal unit. The reason why I said the little queen would leave is because she was facing a bad situation without any hope."

"A bad situation?"
