Lord of War

"Snapped!"

A loud slap slapped Gesun hard on the face.

With just one slap, Gesun's face was completely red and swollen, and a trace of blood even overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

With Gesen's strength, he wouldn't have been slapped like this, but the person who slapped him was his father. Under such circumstances, how could he use his fighting spirit to protect his face? You must know that the family education of the Nugus family is extremely strict. If he does not bear this slap from his father, then he believes that the next situation will be even worse, because when the old housekeeper told him to come to the study immediately, he would The seriousness of the problem has been realized.

"Do you know why I beat you?" Getson's father, Duke Nugus, had a gloomy face, obviously really angry.

Gesun lowered his head, quickly thinking about the reason for his father's anger this time.

But after a few minutes, Gesun still couldn't figure out the reason, because he didn't know how much information his father had on him. If he had to say something wrong, there were indeed several problems, but he knew that if he said something wrong, the end would be very miserable, so he couldn't figure out which mistakes could be said and which ones could not be said.

At this moment, Gesun felt that it would be great if Eagle was here. With her intelligence analysis ability, she would be able to draw a conclusion quickly.

Seeing that Gesun remained silent, Duke Nugus finally sighed.

But after this sigh, Gesun could feel his father's extreme disappointment in him, which made his face turn pale.

The Nugus family is not that kind of dictatorial family. Anyone with ability can compete for the heir position. This is why Gesun's uncle is also one of the heir candidates. In the Nugus family, Gesun knew that he was not the most gifted genius child, and even he only knew that there were a few people who were better than him, but these people were unlucky. He is not as tall as himself, so his succession is higher.

In the Nugus family, the heir is not determined by the talent of the family's children, but by a ranking list, which is done once a year.

This is not only a test of talent and talent, but also a comprehensive evaluation of many aspects such as eyesight, command and luck.

Those who are more gifted than Geson don't have Geson's communication skills; and those who know more about communication than Geson don't have Geson's eyesight; ; Those who have strong men under their command are not as good at judging the situation as Gesun.

So over time, Gessen, who was not ranked high in the standings, was surpassed one by one by Gesun, especially after Geshen recruited the silver, eagle, and wolf, he became the leader of the standings in just two years. He was the second in line heir, and there were more than a dozen successor candidates on the original list, but now there are only five left—three of them are his brothers and sisters. If it weren't for this incident in the wild land, Gesun would have become the first heir by the end of this year, because his father had clearly told him that his uncle withdrew from the election for the successor of the Nugus family. As for his For the other three brothers and sisters, apart from his elder sister Anqi Nugusi being officially announced that she is no longer a member of the Nugusi family and thus losing her status as an heir, his elder brother is also confirmed to be nominated in this year's year-end assessment. delisted.

So Gesun knew very well that if his uncle quit, even if he did lose in the wild land and would be deducted a lot of points, he would still be sure to occupy the position of the first heir.

But once he is disliked by his father, or even disappointed, then he is very likely to be removed from the evaluation at the end of the year. This is not the result Gesun wants!

So after hearing his father's sigh, Gesun finally spoke: "I shouldn't have disobeyed your instructions and still ordered to assassinate Xiao En, which resulted in the annihilation of the Heroic Sword Mercenary Corps in Panda."

"Hmph." Yashan Nugus snorted coldly, "Do you feel that you are about to be formally confirmed as the heir of the Nugus family, so you can ignore my order?"

"No." Gesun lowered his head even lower.

"I have already told you that the assassination plan must not be carried out unless necessary, but why did you not listen?" Yashan Nugus said in a deep voice, "You thought that after the negotiation failed, you secretly ordered the Domingo carried out the assassination plan in advance, would I not know?"

Hearing this, Gesun knew that his father had indeed grasped his criminal evidence.

At that time, he didn't think that much at all, he just thought about revenge no matter what, and he must kill Sean, so when the negotiation failed, he didn't think about other things and let Domingo do it directly. It's just that he didn't expect that the assassination plan would end in a complete failure, and he didn't expect that Lord Xiao En would use this as an excuse to directly declare war on Ting Qiyin, and he didn't expect that he would be so merciless They fought in the Void City, beheading Aiwen and his heroic sword, leaving no one alive.

This is simply a cold massacre!

But by the time I knew this, it was already too late.

"I was wrong, my lord father." Gesun bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"If the Sword of Heroism hadn't been slaughtered in that assassination conflict, it would naturally play a very important role in assisting the subsequent war situation led by Ting Qiyin. At least the Hastings family would not be helpless. Escape." Ashan's voice was still very low, but Gesen could hear that the anger was stronger than before, "Do you know what your second mistake was?"

Gesun was slightly taken aback: The second mistake?

"You actually made the Hastings family a victim!" This time, before Gesen could react, Ashan slapped the table and stood up, "Don't tell me, don't you know that the army led by Tinky was lured by the enemy?" Go, thus creating a gap to be driven straight in by Alfred's lion... At that time, people with you nearby could provide support and make an emergency evacuation. As long as you take action at that time, the Hastings family will not Destroyed, even if the entire Tinky fell due to this, as long as the Hastings are still there, then that territory will be recovered sooner or later.... But look at what you have done!?"

Gesen didn't dare to refute Ashan's words at all.

Of course, he couldn't say that he had actually taken a fancy to the hidden wealth of the Hastings family, so he deliberately let the Hastings family die. Because if the members of the Hastings family are not extinct, then he must not touch those wealth, even if he touches it, it will be a shameful thing. It is very difficult to sell, and it may even be damaged by more than half the price.

Gesun didn't want to do this loss-making business, so of course he could only let the Hastings die. He couldn't refuse the temptation of that wealth!

Afterwards, when the members of the Hastings family managed to abscond and returned to the secret stronghold, he actually planned to kill all the members of the Hastings at that time, so he secretly sent a team of 100 people to enter. In the end, he didn't expect that someone was one step faster than him, not only killing everyone, but also evacuating all the treasures, which made his loss extremely heavy all of a sudden.

If he had those wealth, he could accept the loss of a Hastings family, but without those wealth and losing the Hastings family, the loss would be great.

Of course, the fact is also as Gessen expected, Ashan really does not know that the Hastings family has a hidden secret stronghold. But even if he knew, he would definitely choose to save the Hastings family instead of peeking at those treasures. This is why Ashan was able to make the Nugus family strong, and even in his generation he was not afraid of the Boulder family at all.

Unexpectedly, if the Nugus family were handed over to Gesun, it would definitely not be a good thing.

Of course, Ashan didn't know about these things. If he knew that the son he thought he was most satisfied with made such a choice before, then he would be the first to kill Gesen. Ashan Nugus. Because no one knows better than Shan that an ally who will never leave even when Nugus goes into a trough is a precious asset.

But now, the name of the Hastings family no longer exists in the aristocratic circle of the Darbion Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Ashan's anger became even stronger, and he rushed out and punched his son again.

At this moment, Gesun in front of him didn't seem to be his son, that punch with almost unreserved strength seriously injured Gesun, knocked him flying, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot.

"Master!" The old housekeeper was really anxious now, and immediately yelled.

"If you know what your third mistake is, I won't abolish your heir status."

Hearing this, Gesun's mind finally went into a "boom" and was a little dazed.

After a while, Gesun still failed to realize what his father said about the third mistake.

"Trash, get out!" Ashan roared angrily.

The old butler sighed, he knew that Ashan was really angry, but the demise of the Hastings family did have an extremely important impact on the Nugus family, not just because of the Hastings family's long-standing Unswerving, more is that the overall strategic situation laid down by Nugus will be completely rewritten, at least the second cavalry regiment of Dabiang will no longer be remotely controlled by the Nugus family, and it is finally in the Dabiang army. The firm heels also began to shake.

Of course, the deeper meaning is that since the Nugus family knew that if Gessen chose to act at that time, at least half of the members of the Hastings family could be rescued and the Hastings family could make a comeback. The family will definitely know. In this way, in the eyes of other nobles, even the Hastings family, who are so loyal to the Nugus family, can be abandoned as soon as they are abandoned, so what will happen to the other families and nobles who are attached to the Nugus family? What do you think?

The result is completely predictable.

The old butler knew that Master Gesun not only made a mistake this time, but also made a very outrageous mistake.

After the old butler took Gesun away, the study fell into silence.

After a long time, Yashan seemed to have finally calmed down, so he said, "Tell me, what is the biggest mistake this time?"

At this time, a woman finally came out from the shadow in the corner.

This is a very ordinary woman in terms of appearance and temperament, and there is nothing outstanding at all, but she is the second daughter of Ashan Nugus, that is, Gesun's third sister. Before Gesen found Eagle, Silver, and Wolf, this seemingly ordinary woman had been firmly occupying the first place in the Nugus family standings, and even her uncle Zigsen Nugus Sidu has always been placed in second place by her, and even Zigsen sent his private soldiers to the third garrison, which can be said to be thanks to her.

If it wasn't for the failure of a war with those tribes in the wild land, which caused her to lose almost nothing, Zigson would not have become the first heir. Even after Gesun had the help of Eagle, Wolf, and Silver, and developed a complete set of forces of her own, she still regained the third place in the standings, only seven points away from Gesun .

It was this fearful feeling of approaching every step of the way that made Gesen take the risk and take the action of occupying the Panda Territory and later the wild land.

At this moment, after Zigsen withdrew from the heir election, and Gesen and the other two were officially abolished as heir candidates, this woman was already the well-deserved next heir of the Nugus family.

This woman is Hella Nugus.

However, at this moment, Hela didn't see the slightest joy on her face, and she still had that plain look.

"What is the reason for our failure this time?" Even though Yashan knew that she had heard his words, he had to read and repeat them again, but he changed the sentences slightly, so it was naturally the same as before. There is a significant difference in the meaning of what is said.

At least, this time Yashan Nugus admitted defeat.

Haila looked at her father, and after a while, she said, "Underestimate the enemy."

Yashan nodded and didn't say anything else. He knew his daughter's temperament, and once he spoke, he would definitely give a detailed analysis and reason.

"Underestimated three people." Sure enough, without waiting for Ashan to urge her, Hela said to herself, "The first one is Asuna G. Evans. We all underestimated her love for Sean G. Connery's attention actually made him an official baron when the public opinion just started. It was obvious that Sean Connery was not the pioneer knight recruited by Asuna from the very beginning. There should be some kind of trading behavior, but they hid it too well, if it wasn’t for this time, I wouldn’t be able to judge it at all.”

A strange expression appeared on Ashan's face. He didn't think of this at first, but now that Hela said that, he immediately thought of what Sean did before, and why Asuna's attitude was so strange. It turns out that the two of them have been in an equal relationship from the very beginning, not a superior-subordinate relationship. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Asuna to let Vivienne lead Thunderbolt to the Canyon Rift for support. Now the saint of their family The domain powerhouse is still recuperating.

"The second one is Sean Connery." Hila ignored her father's expression and continued, "This man completely ignores any noble rules, and the ancient noble rules are completely useless to him. It's ridiculous that we Everyone is trying to use the law of nobility to judge and restrict his actions. I'm sure that even if he doesn't have the status of a baron, he dares to send troops to Tinky, but his real target is not Tinky, but It's Jedbyling."

Hearing this, Ashan's face changed suddenly, obviously he realized how rich the territory of Jedbyland was.

And if Sean is looking for Yedbyling...

As if to formalize Ashan's guess, Hela continued: "The baron's next step should be to find an excuse to send troops to Berbice."

Ashan's face changed slightly, and he began to hesitate whether to tell the old guy Howard the news.

"If I were you, I would definitely join hands with Duke Howard." Hela glanced at her father and said lightly.

"Why?"

"Because of the third person we underestimated." When Hela said this, her tone finally changed a little, and she was no longer as flat as before, "William Yale.... This person is a genius military strategist. By the end, the whole process didn't even take a month, you know he has only 20,000 troops, but he was able to easily defeat the 60,000 troops led by Ting Qiyin, do you really think this is a miracle?"

Speaking of this, Hela's expression finally became serious: "War has never been a miracle. A truly outstanding general can easily make up for the gap in tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops. So if we really want to deal with that If it is a lord, even if our family can win, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory. This is not in the interests of our Nugus family. And most importantly, once the Berbice Territory is invaded, then the other party only needs to garrison troops. Berbice Land and Chirav Land, then the entire southeast of the Dabion Kingdom is completely shrouded in the shadow of that baron, so if there is no alliance, then there is no need to fight this battle."

This was the first time Yashan heard his daughter speak so seriously, and the expression on his face was very surprised.

"besides……"

"besides!?"

Hela glanced at her father, and then continued: "We joined hands with Duke Howard, only to meet the most basic conditions for war confrontation. If we really want to win a complete victory, then we must kill William, otherwise we Even if you win, you lose."

"Why?"

"Now that baron has annexed so many territories in the entire southern part of our Darbion, what do you think the nobles in the Principality of Ryan will think?" Hela asked rhetorically.

At this moment, Yashan's face finally became extremely firm, and he obviously made a decision: "Come on, contact Duke Howard immediately."
