Reincarnation Paradise

A rubber rod as thick as a finger was placed on a candle and burned. Under the burning flame, the tip of the rubber rod softened and turned black. Finally, it was pressed against a piece of approval document. The high temperature caused the area near the soldering point to turn slightly yellow. A pure gold ring. Press it on the soft rubber to print a three-dimensional seal.

Elder Bloomer put the ring back on his hand and took one last look at the approval document on the table. This was the military transfer approval document he signed with Princess Pedela.

This batch of documents has no official significance. Bloomer has no right to transfer the 260,000 troops. But in fact, as long as there is this thing and Bloomer’s own approval, the 260,000 troops will be transferred to Princess Pedella. In the name, that is, in the hands of Su Xiao, with the current level of chaos in the empire, Bloomer's approval is more effective than the official one. It is already an empty shell, with nominal command power but no real power.

Pedela was sitting in front of the desk. It could be seen that she was a little nervous and her hands were clasped together.

After Bloomer glanced at Princess Pedela, he picked up the approval document on the table. Princess Pedela was about to pick it up, but Bloomer raised his hand and looked at Su Xiao. The meaning was obvious, he Bloomer can Lose a game, but not to this little white rabbit.

Su Xiao raised her hand to get the approval document, and this time Bloomer reached out his arm.

"There are 240,000 of these soldiers in the Western Frontier Fortress. Andoha may one day perish, but the empire cannot perish. No matter what happens, never recruit those 240,000 soldiers. Just let them guard the Western Frontier Fortress. Blue Lion Si Treach is overstepping his authority over the 240,000 soldiers, but that is not important. Without him and the 240,000 soldiers, the barbarians from the west would have invaded the empire long ago."

Bloomer held the approval document tightly, waiting for Su Xiao's reply. Obviously, this senator had not been corrupted by the royal power and knew that internal fighting in the empire was okay, but it could not be invaded by foreign nations.

"Can."

Of course, Su Xiao would not mobilize the 240,000 soldiers. This would have little significance in seizing power. If he could seize the kingship by force alone, he would not come to the Senate openly, but would sneak in and assassinate Bloomer.

After receiving Su Xiao's reply, Bloomer let go of the approval document in his hand, closed his eyes and leaned on the wolfskin seat.

"The turmoil in the Sea Clan, I will give you a reply at five o'clock at the latest, but..."

Bloom opened one eye slightly. There were some things that must not be revealed, otherwise the fish would be defeated.

Su Xiao put the folded approval document into her arms and signaled to Pedela that she could leave. Pedela was a little angry after being ignored just now, but at most she just pouted and did not dare to say anything to Bloomer.

When Su Xiao took Pedela out of the Senate Mansion, the old magic stick, Bu Bu Wang, and Da Mao Wang were already waiting at the door.

"went well?"

The old magic stick still looked kind.

"It went very well. Queen Moon will be delivered before five o'clock in the evening. As for her current condition, don't hold out too much hope. If that old fox Bloomer is willing to hand her over, it means Queen Moon has no value."

Hearing this, the old magic stick sighed without any change in his expression. In fact, he did not want to ensure the safety of the Moon Queen, but out of loyalty to the Black King. He did not want the Moon Queen to be imprisoned like a pet. What he would most likely do The thing is to let the Moon Queen go to see the Black King.

"What to do next?"

The matter of seizing military power made the old magician convinced that Su Xiao was reliable, so he began to seek Su Xiao's opinion.

"How many regiment commanders are under the jurisdiction of these 260,000 soldiers?"

Su Xiao first needs to stabilize the military power he has obtained, but he is not prepared to go deep into management. It would be a waste of time, so he can just stabilize it.

"To be precise, there are a total of 560,000 soldiers, and 260,000 is just the number of regular troops established by the empire. Nowadays, civil wars continue on the borders of the empire, and the barbarians in the west have repeatedly invaded, resulting in a serious over-staffing of the number of soldiers in each legion. 56 Of the 320,000 soldiers, 240,000 are in the Western Frontier Fortress, and those 240,000 must not be moved. Of the remaining 320,000, 100,000 are in the Southern Fortress, responsible for defending against the possible appearance of the Hai Clan. The last 220,000 are at the Tieyang Military Camp outside the Holy City. They are all reserve soldiers and they need to be trained for at least three months before they can be sent to the south or north."

The old magic stick knows these divisions of 560,000 soldiers very well, and even clearly marked them on the empire's map.

"Are these frontier troops? Who owns the garrison of the Holy City?"

Su Xiao slowed down her pace and looked at the map in her hand.

"The command of the Holy City Guards is in the hands of Princess Sayato. She is... a woman who is more like a man than a man."

The old magic stick glanced at Pedela as he spoke. Just hearing the name Sayato, Pedela shrank in fear. For her, this was simply a shadow of her childhood. Because of her character as weak as a bunny, it made Pedela shrink in fear. The royal family, Sayato, felt that she was embarrassing the royal family, so he sent her to the military camp for training for a few days. Pedra almost died there. It was Sayato who caused Pedra to have such a soft and cute character.

Su Xiao began to sort out the currently known information. In addition to his side, there were four other parties vying for the royal power. They were two Dukes who had never met before, Princess Sayato and Elder Bloomer.

The old fox at the back, Su Xiao has already been in contact with, is difficult to deal with. Although he has seized military power from the opponent, the opponent's power has been deeply rooted in the Holy City. Losing military power will make the opponent heartbroken for a few days at most, but it will not be as painful as breaking the bones. degree.

"In other words, nearly one-fifth of the border guards are now nominally in our hands?"

"Yes, although most of the army cannot be mobilized due to the situation in the empire, military power is also an indispensable thing for us."

The old magic stick pointed at the southwest corner of the map, indicating that it was the Western Frontier Fortress.

"Gather the commanders of these legions together. They should all be in the Holy City, right?"

"There are four of them in the Holy City. The Blue Lion Strachey has been in the Western Frontier all his life. It is impossible for him to come back."

"Then gather these four people."

What Su Xiao has to do next is very simple, directly intervene in the struggle for royal power and look for violators among the forces participating in the struggle.

…

At seven o'clock that night, in a manor in the south of the Holy City, this was the real estate of the old magic stick, which was awarded to him by the King of Black. However, the old magic stick had no children and did not value money. He once pursued his own strength. But after the death of the Black King, the old magic stick gave up his pursuit and settled in a small church. The specific reason is unknown.

Although the old magic stick does not live in the manor, as a reward from the Black King, the place has been kept in an orderly manner over the years. Servants come to clean it regularly, and there are more than a dozen hounds kept in the courtyard.

There is a dome house in the courtyard, which is so large that it is possible to get lost. In the meeting hall on the second floor, five people are sitting at a long table, with two or three guards standing behind them.

Among these five people, four are the army commanders of the empire, and one is the commander-in-chief. This commander-in-chief is the highest commander of the 560,000 soldiers in the military, named Wulf. Going up further, there is the Senate and the royal family system.

The four legion commanders were all a little uneasy. They received the news that the Senate had handed them over to the jurisdiction of Princess Pedela. They all knew what a terrible person Elder Bloomer was, and Pedela took away the military power from him. Princess La is already equated with the female devil in their hearts.

At first, these army commanders were very confused. Princess Pedela and the others had heard about it. After learning that the other party had taken over the military power, their reactions were that this was definitely false news. But later, their commander-in-chief, Wolfe, confirmed this. A message.

When the legion commanders were filled with anxiety, the door was pushed open, and a man they had never seen before was sitting at the front seat. Behind the man was an old man and a blond girl. As for Princess Pedela, she did not show up at all.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

Su Xiao looked around at the people in the meeting hall. The auras of these people were not weak. Although the empire was in civil strife, there were basically no 'relations' in the military. After all, the Black King had just passed away less than twenty years ago. The empire is a big tree. It won't rot down to the trunk of the tree so quickly.

The legion commanders looked at each other and none of them took their seats, but Commander Wolf took his seat. He was a short and capable man wearing chain mail and a red cloak on his back.

"Lord Cuculin, I am Wufu."

"Well, I heard you."

"It's my pleasure."

This simple conversation made the four army commanders sit down obediently, with their backs straight. Their immediate superiors all respected the man. Of course, they did not dare to make mistakes. People who can climb to such a position are not simple. Role.

"Tell me, how do you and the Senate distribute the military funds allocated by the empire?"

Su Xiao's eyes turned to Wu Fu. Wu Fu was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Su Xiao would directly point out the matter, which made him feel a little thumped in his heart.

"Twenty-eight divisions."

Wulf looked calm, but in fact he couldn't control his heartbeat. The division between 28 and 28 was not eight for the military and two for the Senate, but the other way around. The military could only get 20% of the total military expenditure. What's even more exaggerated is that , Wulf lied for the sake of the garrison at the frontier fortress. The true distribution was 90% for the Senate and 10% for the military. Of that 10%, 70% was sent to the frontier fortress, so there could be no problems there.

Wu Fu also risked his life for military expenses. When he first saw Su Xiao, he knew that Su Xiao was a ruthless person who would kill without blinking an eye, but he still chose to deceive Su Xiao for the sake of the frontier army.
