My name is Ren

Chapter 154 Chapter [-] What you see may not be true, and what you question may not be false.
Imperial Capital
It was about to enter May, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and the imperial capital was becoming more and more lively.As the political center of this country, all the best resources of the entire empire, talents from major families and various industries are constantly gathered here.These people are looking for their own future and chasing their dreams here, which also embellishes the prosperity of this city.

In the Golden Ring area, a little behind the manors of the golden nobles, there is a huge manor with a white background and red edges on the tower, and a red knight's banner printed and dyed is fluttering in the wind.This banner is much larger than the banners of other families. When every nobleman looks at this banner, there is always something strange—either in awe or disgust.Because this banner represents one of the leaders of the most powerful aristocratic group in the entire empire, and it is a very powerful force in the empire's ruling class.

"Why don't you stop Bowen from messing around?" The person who spoke was wearing a dark black formal suit, with some mysterious and mysterious patterns outlined with gold thread on the clothes. He looked in his 40s, and his black hair was passed by professionals. Taking care of it, it is shiny and black, and it is meticulously carried behind its head.With some light makeup on his face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a slightly black and blue chin hidden behind a floral collar, he gave people a sense of righteousness and dignity, not angry but powerful.

He raised his hand and put the teacup aside, looking at the other person opposite.

The man smiled, "Don't you think Bowen chose the right time?" The man before him showed a look of listening attentively, tilted his head slightly, looked at him with piercing eyes, and said with a slow smile: " Our Majesty Pals has become uneasy. If it drags on, that guy Grian will be dispatched. Bowen happened to be stuck at this critical time, so that His Majesty Pals would not be so anxious. .At least Bell Province has taken action, proving that there is no problem with the attitude and position of the ruling class in Bell Province.”

He took a sip of black tea and shook his head with a smile, "Actually, Her Majesty Pals may not be aware of our actions in this matter, but she doesn't need to say it if she can't say it, just like all political events. It is not because they have the country or justice in mind, but because their interests have been harmed. Xiao En's rebellion did bring some troubles to the situation in the empire, but it was just troubles, not to mention Good or bad. Everyone knows that for such a small problem as Sean, he can be crushed to death in those rural places by random people."

"She did this because she wanted to take this opportunity to tell you and others." He laughed as he said, "As the ruler of this country, Her Majesty Pars, she must behave regardless of her personal preferences. He expressed his hatred for the resistance forces and his determination to eradicate all rebels. If His Majesty Pars did not express these emotions, and ignored or even held an indifferent attitude towards the rebellion at the grassroots level, then this country would be over, people. People will rise up."

"So you don't have to worry too much, at least not now, and all this has nothing to do with us."

"And..." he laughed loudly, "Bowen can't win, this will be a protracted battle!"

……

Bowen certainly didn't know that the big shots in the imperial capital were discussing his gathering of seven forces to suppress Venere's rebellion. If he knew, he might feel very honored, and the next thing would be fear.In the countryside like Bell Province, where even the big shots are unwilling to stay, no matter how powerful Bowen is, he is just a country bumpkin like a nouveau riche. In the eyes of the big shots in the imperial capital, a noble like him is actually slightly better than a pariah. That's all.

At this time, Bowen was full of vigor and fighting spirit, completely different from what the big man said he couldn't win. When he led the army to set off, he felt that he had already won.When he left, he ordered the steward of the lord's mansion to prepare the celebration banquet and the supplies for the army, ready to welcome his victory.

why?
An army of more than 1 people is attacking a city led by untouchables. It has an absolute advantage in military strength, and it also occupies the commanding heights in morality. Is it possible to lose with two points?Bowen thinks that it is absolutely impossible to lose, and only Sean loses, not himself.

In this way, more than 1 people finally saw the city wall of Venier after eight days, which made everyone excited.

Whether it is the civilian class or the privileged class, except for the high-achieving students who graduated from the Imperial Higher Academy and directly entered the center, everyone else can't do without military exploits if they want to climb up.It is difficult to obtain military exploits. After all, wars do not break out every day. Orlando’s 300-year rule has only seen two large-scale civil wars and one battle against invasion.Other than that, there are almost no other places to get combat exploits.

Of course, it is impossible to calculate military exploits in conflicts between nobles, after all, it is of no benefit to the country.

This makes it difficult for the nobles to find a reliable upward channel. Things like Baratan rarely appear, and even if they do appear, they will be extinguished soon.Xiao En's rebellion this time gave everyone a chance. As long as they can make enough contributions, it will be difficult to become a marquis or minister, but it is still possible to improve their social status.

Unlike the people outside the city who were eager to try, Sean was extraordinarily serious at this time. This was the biggest crisis since his rebellion.As long as we can survive this crisis... In fact, it will be very dangerous in the future.The current situation will not make people happy whether he wins or loses.If he loses, he will naturally lose his own life. No matter what ideals and pursuits he once had, they will become meaningless together with his death. People will soon be tortured by real life and forget that they once had If such a person forgets that he stood up to resist and overthrow the ruling class, people will continue to live under the ruled society.

If he wins, things will be more troublesome. Victory is like a knife, constantly stimulating the tense nerves of the empire.He wasn't sure if he would live longer after he won than if he lost. Before he won, he was just a bug, and he had such self-knowledge.For some small bugs, people don't want to walk a few steps to step on them even if they see them, because people think it's meaningless to do so.But if this little bug swallows another little bug and becomes a big bug, then the real problem is big.

People's attitudes when they see big bugs are different from those of small bugs. They are full of disgust and killing intent. They are willing to take a few more steps, just to step on the bugs and let the juice splash. land.

"Are you worried about those people outside the city?" Philip had become Sean's chief of staff and his only staff.A person of insight will not follow someone like Xiao En. He has no future. He fights against the entire country with his own strength. He can laugh to death when he speaks out. His defeat is only a matter of time. Why should he take his own life? What about being associated with such a person?So Philip became the decision maker other than Sean. Many things seemed to be decided by Sean, but it was Philip who made the plan.

This second-level manager is smarter than expected, and understands people's hearts better.

Sean nodded. He touched his broken calf bone. The fracture had healed long ago, but when it was rainy, the calf would be sore and painful, and he dared not use force when walking, "You said we could win ?"

Philip nodded affirmatively, "If you don't plan to pull everyone out to fight the opponent directly, in terms of defending the city alone, our strength is enough for us to sustain it."

[-] infantry and [-] cavalry are definitely enough to defend the city, but Sean is still worried about another thing, "What if the opponents encircle and don't attack? Once they cut off our supply line, we won't be able to defend for long." Yes. The food in the city is only enough for more than two months, and I am very worried about it." After the famine just happened, Sean has an instinctive pursuit and fear of food. Once food is in short supply, there is no need for external pressure The city itself would be chaotic.

Philip comforted: "Lord Sean, I have to remind you that your worries are completely unnecessary. I dare say that they will be defeated and become your captives in just half a month instead of two more months. Those nobles It will live or die according to your will." Philip hung down, took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, and handed it over.

Sean looked at Philip in amazement, "Why don't I know about this letter? Whose letter is this? What else have you done behind my back?" He quickly turned his attention to the envelope again, The seal on the envelope was intact, which relieved Sean a little, at least Philip didn't peek.He smashed the mud seal and opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and spread it on the back of his hand, and looked at each line, the expression on his face changed one after another.

From shock, to bewilderment, followed by surprise, and finally turned into slight anger, until calm down.He shook the letter paper and sneered a few times, he really couldn't understand the world more and more.When he was still the head of the mercenary regiment, he felt that the world was nothing more than His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor had the final say.But until now, he really discovered that the emperor obviously couldn't truly achieve the unity of will.In a place like Bell Province, the will of the nobility is obviously more important.

He threw the letter into the brazier and burned it, and looked at Philip blankly, "Then, the job of defending the city will be left to you." He looked at Philip, and there was something special hidden in the depths of his eyes , There are expectations and suspicions.

"It's my honor, my lord." Philip bowed and saluted like Sean's real staff.
