Successors of all mankind

Since he was identified as an ally, it can only mean that the royal family is indeed declining.

Even such important figures have changed their location.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, General Hell. Please rest assured, I will definitely remember this kindness. After all, I came in a hurry, and supplies are indeed very scarce!"

These words made the two of them even happier and more at ease.

The fact that it happened so quickly means that the Earl's defection was sudden!

This is perfectly normal, after all, he was originally a core member of the Wang faction and must have been deep inside enemy territory.

At the same time, since we arrived in such a hurry, it shows that we are here to help those in need!

That's absolutely no problem!

"Shall I go in and check the situation?"

"Please go ahead!"

The commander immediately stepped aside.

Count Rhine bowed to Yu Le and said:

"Sir, I'll be right back. Please rest here for a bit."

Yu Le waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead, I just came down for some fresh air anyway."

This caused the commander to look at Yu Le with utter shock.

Who is this? Even the Count of Rhine calls him "Sir"?

With a quick glance, the commander immediately signaled to his adjutant, who promptly led Count Rhein to inspect the inventory.

The commander was left alone to keep Yu Le company.

"Sir, may I ask how you are addressed?"

Yu Le waved his hand and said:

"That's not important. What's important is that you might be in a bit of trouble, General Hel!"

The commander asked carefully:

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

"We came in a hurry because we have to deliver a message and a very important list to the Crown Prince."

"Sir, I don't quite understand, but is it not my place to listen?"

The commander immediately became cautious.

"There's nothing you can't hear; you'll find out soon enough."

Yu Le then beckoned to him, signaling him to come closer.

"The princess has planted many traitors among us. They feign allegiance to us so they can betray us at the crucial moment!"

The commander's eyes widened instantly, and he said urgently:

"How could this be? But please rest assured, sir, we are absolutely loyal! We will not hesitate to help you!"

Entertainment should strike while the iron is hot:

“But we have this list! We’ve announced that we haven’t deciphered the file yet, so we’re taking it to the Crown Prince.”

"But in reality, we have deciphered the entire list and handed it over to the Divine Strategist. Because too many people are involved, we cannot tell you who it is."

"After all, the problem is too serious. However, as long as the Divine Strategist doesn't tell you that they are friendly forces, you don't need to worry about whether you know them or not."

"Just open fire!"

At this point, Yu Le pointed to the top of his head, which was the fleet he had brought with him, and said:

“Otherwise, General Hell, they wouldn’t just sit idly by like us!”

The commander swallowed hard.

This was one of Yu Le's purposes in coming down; he wanted to use this fortress to give his plan a small test.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely stop them!"

Yu Le patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said:

"The Crown Prince will surely remember your contributions!"

Chapter 94 They've rebelled! They've rebelled! (4k)

Faced with the praise from this high-ranking official whose origins were unknown.

The commander nodded excitedly.

That's something the higher-ups will remember!

"Don't worry, sir. As long as I have a breath left, I will absolutely not let anyone pass!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stood at attention and saluted, facing the direction of the capital:

"I will surely die for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yu Le smiled with satisfaction.

"I'm so surprised that you think that way."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and soon the adjutant returned with Count Rhein.

Behind them, the barges used for propelling the ironclad chariots had already taken off.

Upon approaching Yu Le, Count Rhein bowed respectfully.

"My lord, we are ready and may depart."

Yu Le turned around, extended her hand to the commander, and gently shook his hand.

Neither too warm nor too distant, just like the attitude a high-ranking officer should have if he only needs to stop here temporarily.

"I'm leaving everything to you from now on. Please don't let me down, sir."

After saying this, Yu Le, who was standing on the airship's gangway, seemed to remember something and turned to look at the commander, asking:

"General Hell, what is your title now? Where is your fiefdom?"

The commander lowered his head somewhat awkwardly and said:

"My lord, I... I am merely a baron, and my fiefdom... well, it's nothing, just a small town."

Although he was a general, the rebels had no shortage of generals.

In an effort to win over the hearts of the people, Bourbon II appointed so many generals that these titles became worthless.

After gaining a general understanding of the rebels' organizational structure, he immediately made a meaningful remark:

"Then, General, after this is over, if you do a good job, I think you can become an earl!"

The commander's eyes lit up.

On the rebel side, military ranks have been so overused that even the rank of general is worthless, but less important noble titles have suddenly become valuable.

Because fiefdoms, which represent actual interests, have begun to be linked with titles of nobility.

For example, he was originally a viscount, but was registered as a baron.

And if one could become a count...

He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"My lord, I...I!"

Yu Le chuckled and waved his hand, then looked behind him and said:

"General, no need to rush, take your time. In short, it all depends on your performance. Once you successfully repel the enemy and the war is over, I will personally award you the medal!"

After saying this, Yu Le left with Count Rhine.

On the way back, Count Rhine couldn't help but say:

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous for you to come down here yourself!"

"There's no danger. I'm just coming down to conduct a small test. If everything goes well, our casualties will be minimized. And, it will also directly destroy them!"

This made Count Rhine even more curious: how could we minimize our casualties?

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

"Just wait and see. I won't say too much before everything is revealed."

I will participate, but I won't tell you too much, otherwise it will be too easy for people to guess my identity.

Count Rhein did not ask any further questions.

He knew the 'meaning' of Yule. This could very well be the trump card to completely end the fierce battle between the royal army and the rebels.

Only the most trusted person can know.

Otherwise, if word gets out, the already stable and improving situation could collapse uncontrollably.

Count Rhein understood the choice of pleasure, and even he himself would do the same.

There was no resentment in his expression; he simply nodded after listening, then looked down regretfully at his toes.

'It seems I am not yet worthy of the Prince's trust; I must work harder!'

Count Rhine had a premonition that after this battle, the princess would likely ascend the throne.

At that time, Daikon, who ended the rebellion, will also possess unimaginable power and prestige.

Moreover, even without this, as long as the rebellion ends and he approves of someone, they will undoubtedly rise to the top in one step!

Count Rhein wanted himself among these people.

"Your Highness!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Yu Le looked curiously at Count Rhine behind him, but the other looked at him seriously and said:

“Your Highness, I know that I have not yet produced results that can satisfy you, nor have I gained your trust. But please believe me, if needed, you can send me anywhere!”

"No matter how dangerous the place, even if it means certain death, I will go there and complete everything you have entrusted to me, Your Highness. I mean it!"

Count Rhine was serious about climbing the ranks quickly during the war and gaining the trust of important figures.

Then they would have no choice but to risk their lives for their future, just like the ordinary soldiers.

Wherever there is danger, that's where I'll go!

It's worth risking your life to gain the trust of such an important person!

Yu Le never expected that her words would elicit such a response.

He could only glance at Count Rhine with a puzzled expression, and amidst the other's unease, he casually remarked:

"Ah, I see."

Yu Le didn't know how to respond to such a statement.

Because he seemed to be serious.

Count Rhine, on the other hand, was frantically trying to figure out what exactly Yūlō was thinking.

Did the prince believe me, or treat it as a joke, or was he genuinely considering giving me a chance?

People always feel that those who are "in a higher position" than themselves have profound meaning in every action and careful thought in every thought.

But in reality, they are often just overthinking it.

We are all human beings, there's no difference between us.

Back in the command room, General Hell was happily dreaming of being made a count after the war.

It was at this moment that his adjutant looked at Radar and said:

"General, someone's here!"
