Chapter 245 The Prince's Worries

Unlike the wailing of the Riga Imperial Palace, the news that the Huaishui Pass guards attacked the camp on a rainy night, and the army under General Dino’s command was wiped out, made the Imperial Palace of the Glorious Empire rejoice, and everyone was smiling, just like New Year’s Eve.

King Beckenbauer sat high on the dragon chair, his face glowing red, as if he was ten years younger, which was quite different from his old and sad appearance a few months ago.

Inside the main hall, the important officials of the empire lined up in two rows, and everyone was full of joy and excitement.

"When the general arrived at Huaishui Pass, he endured it for more than a month without any movement. But if he didn't move, it was like a thunderbolt. It was like a thunderbolt. It was powerful and wiped out the Riga army in front of Huaishui Pass. What is General Dino? , the six famous generals are just adding honor to the general."

A minister was excited, and his admiration was beyond words, which did not seem to be fake.

"Yes, the Riga Empire is arrogant and domineering. It invades and attacks our country at will. It is used to being arrogant. The victory of the general is like a blow to the head. It has stunned and awakened the Riga Empire. From then on, let's see if they dare to despise us. ?”

"The talent of the general is like the god of war, so it is naturally amazing. But our king has the insight to recognize talents, and promoted the young general who had never been heard of before to a high position and was able to take on important tasks. This vision , This courage is also not comparable to that of ordinary people."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers suddenly changed the direction of singing as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"That's right, the general is a rare horse with a thousand li horse in the world, and His Majesty the King is a Bole with unparalleled vision."

"Although His Majesty the King did not come to the battlefield in person, it is already a highlight to send the General to command the battle with full authority. Moreover, the reason why Dino was negligent and easily fell for it was because he thought that the General must report to His Majesty the King. , Waiting for His Majesty's reply to the peace talks. How could he have thought that His Majesty the King boldly delegated power and gave the General the greatest authority. The reason why Dino's army was defeated is also related to His Majesty's boldness."

"..."

King Beckenbauer sat on the dragon chair, just listening with a smile, without speaking.

As the lord of a country, he also heard a lot of flattery.But it was the first time in history that it was as fun as it is today.

The ministers were right. The promotion and assignment of Anthony was the craziest thing he had ever done in his life, and it was also the gamble with the highest stakes.

Throughout the history of the countries in Osland, is there any king like him who entrusted all the army of the whole country to an unknown young man, and gave him the greatest discretionary power, as well as the greatest trust and support.

Very fortunately, His Majesty the King won the bet.

With similar sentiments to His Majesty the King, there is also the Grand Duke of Hannover Province, Smolwa, standing in front of the ministers.

It was the first time in Hannover that I saw Anthony and the others rushing over. Despite the travel and dust, they looked quite tired and exhausted.But the young man's calm face and deep, bottomless eyes have already left a deep impression on the Grand Duke.

After a short contact and Anthony's planning actions, the discerning Grand Duke deeply realized that under the gentle appearance of this young man, there was a huge energy like a volcanic eruption hidden.

You must not be your enemy!

This was the conclusion reached by the Grand Duke of Smois at that time, and based on this he made his decision: to entrust the provincial army to Antony, to be led by him, and to command the battle.

Looking back now, his decision at that time was so wise and correct.

Prince Andre was also in the hall, laughing and applauding with everyone.But if you don't observe carefully, there is a little bit of reluctance in his smile.

"Excuse me, father, after the general defeated the Riga army outside the Huaishui Pass, what actions will he take now?"

At this time, the praises and praises from the ministers gradually faded away. Seeing His Royal Highness asking questions, they all attracted their attention and listened quietly.

King Beckenbauer laughed and said: "The army led by Dino has been defeated, and there is no barrier in front of the Huaishui Pass. General Anthony took advantage of the victory and marched eastward, and captured the small town of Mourning in the Riga Empire one after another. And Yunyan County. When the messenger came, the general had led his army to rest in Yunyan County."

Knowing that many ministers do not know the geographical situation of the Riga Empire, let alone where the town of Mourning and Yunyan County are, His Majesty the King simply asked someone to bring a huge map of the Riga Empire.

Looking at the two places marked on the map, Prince Andre frowned slightly.

"The Riga Empire has become aggressive. He has always attacked others, and few other countries have attacked them. Therefore, there are very few fortresses and other fortifications in other countries. The town of Mourning and Yunyan County were taken by us. , There is already a flat river in front of you, you can march quickly, and occupy more counties and lands before the enemy reacts and gather the army. But the general stopped, and missed... it is really puzzling."

He obviously wanted to say that Anthony missed the opportunity. Although he stopped in time, everyone knew what he wanted to say.

It has to be said that what His Royal Highness said has some truth.At the very least, the ministers looked at the big map in front of them and felt that the large territory in front of Anthony seemed undefended and could be picked at will.

The minister who was the first to praise Anthony just now looked around, and finally couldn't help but stand up.

"I think with the general's leadership ability and strategic vision, he must be aware of what we saw. Although I don't know why he stopped moving forward, I think the general must have his reasons."

Everyone will of course have his reasons for doing anything, this is an absolutely correct nonsense.But when the minister said it, he expressed his unreserved trust in Anthony.

Some ministers stood quietly in thought, and many people nodded in agreement.

Prince Andrew looked at him coldly, and suddenly stood up, speaking loudly like King Beckenbauer.

"Father, the great general fought north and south and made countless contributions. As the prince of the empire, I am ashamed and blamed for my mediocrity. Therefore, I implore my father to let me rush to the Riga Empire On the front line, join the general's army, share the worries of the general, and do your part for the father and the empire."

His Royal Highness's voice was loud and full of aura, and immediately suppressed all other voices in the hall.A group of important officials of the empire stood back to their original positions silently, either looking up at the sky or looking down at the ground, with complicated and inexplicable expressions on their faces.

The smile on His Majesty's face slowly faded, and his former majesty was restored.He looked down at his son below, a trace of disappointment and pain flashed in his eyes.

"No!"

"The general has won consecutive battles and used his troops like a god. He even lost two of the so-called six famous generals in Riga. With such a skill, how can you, a brat who doesn't understand military affairs, help share it. Don't be kind at that time If you do bad things, the more you help, the more you help. Besides, you are the future king of the empire, and the generals will do it for you to lead the battle. You don’t need to worry about it. If you really want to contribute to the country, you might as well follow your father I'm going to learn how to govern the country."

Prince Andre froze where he was, probably not expecting his request to be rejected.It took a long time before I bowed my hands and saluted, unwilling to accept the order.

"Yes, Father!"

Grand Duke Smolwa watched from the side, his eyes narrowed slowly, and an inexplicable light flickered in his eyes.

At the end of the morning, everyone dispersed.Prince Andre walked out, his figure looked somewhat lonely.

King Beckenbauer watched with a sigh in his heart.

Of course, His Majesty the King is clear about the purpose of Prince Andrew's request to go to the front line of the Riga Empire.The situation in the Brilliant Empire has just improved. How could Prince Andre not get angry when he was so thoughtful.

But in any case, Andre is his son, and King Beckenbauer can only remind him that sooner or later his position will be his, and there is no need to compete with his courtiers for credit.

It's a pity that seeing his disappointed look, he obviously didn't understand the deep meaning of His Majesty the King.

When King Beckenbauer secretly lamented that his son did not understand his own thoughts, Prince Andre also sighed in his heart that his father did not understand his worries.

As soon as His Royal Highness, who was full of worries, turned back to his palace, a tall and thin old man greeted him.

The old man was about to ask, but seeing Prince Andre's expression, he already knew that something was not going well.

"Your Highness, did His Majesty not agree to your request?"

Prince Andre nodded with a gloomy face.

The old man's heart sank and he sighed.

"Well, what should I do? Although Anthony is young, his ability to lead an army and fight is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. After several victories, his reputation in the country is unmatched. The supreme authority bestowed by His Majesty the King is not to do whatever he wants. If he is against his will, who else can stop him, who can restrain him?"

The old man spoke generously and was very excited.After hearing this, Prince Andre was only disturbed for a while.

"I know what you said, but my father trusts him so much that he doesn't even allow me to ask to go to the front line to contain the supervision, so what can I do!"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to react so violently, and he was silent for a while.

Seeing him silent, Prince Andre couldn't help feeling a little regretful.He doesn't have much power in his hands now, and this old man can't lose it easily.

"I'm sorry, teacher. I was distracted and excited at the moment, and my tone was too strong. Please don't take offense."

This tall and thin old man is Prince Andre's teacher and a gold-level top martial arts master.

His Royal Highness knew that what he said was true.His father was so focused on rejoicing at the streak of victories that he didn't see the potential danger in Anthony's power.It's just that Anthony has no objection. If he rebels wholeheartedly, with the sharpness and swiftness of his soldiers, I'm afraid that if the imperial capital knows the news, the royal family members will become prisoners.

What Prince Andre didn't say was that even if Anthony had no objection, it would not be a peace of mind for him.You must know that his elder sister, Princess Yalena, has long fallen in love with this young hero, and his father is also happy to see his success.If the two get married, Antony will become a member of the royal family.In this way, there is no need to raise troops to rebel, and it is not necessarily impossible for the throne to fall on his head.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, Prince Andre cannot allow Anthony to continue to sit down.But his father didn't agree with his thoughts. He had a lot of thoughts, but what could he change?
The old man looked better when he heard his gentle apology, and waved his hand, not minding.

"Your Highness does not need to be like this. I also know that you have been under a lot of pressure and irritable recently. Now His Majesty the King does not support us. It seems that we can only think of other ways."

Prince Andrew raised his head in surprise.

"Teacher, what else can I do?"

The old man smiled slightly, with a mysterious look on his face.

"Of course I can't help it, but I recently met some great friends who should be able to help His Royal Highness solve his troubles."
