Werewolf hunting rules
Chapter 412: On the Price
After the Loren War, the Queen invited Clayton to the palace, but he refused on the pretext of illness.
Last year, he learned from a mysterious person that the purpose of the invitation was to hold a sword-granting ceremony for the nobles. However, when he was invited, he had already vaguely sensed the truth, so he refused.
Becoming a noble is certainly what many people dream of, but when Clayton received the invitation, he suddenly remembered the color of the blood flowing from his friend's wound.
So many young people lost their lives because of this inexplicable war, and their blood forever seeped into the land of a foreign country.
Many outstanding people should have shined in this world, but after the war, when they traced their names, they could only see large tracts of unattended cemeteries. Clayton could not enjoy the fame and fortune they exchanged for their lives with peace of mind anyway, and his personality did not allow him to compromise on this matter.
So in front of the gate of the palace, Clayton took back his steps.
Clayton had kept it in his heart and only revealed it to a mysterious existence. He never thought that this old story would appear in Norris's mouth.
This could not be leaked by ghosts, they can only reveal the secrets of the dead.
But Clayton still asked Norris.
"Did you bribe a ghost? If we think of the same thing - I haven't told anyone about that."
"Friend, since you are still alive, you shouldn't worry about ghosts leaking your secrets. And I never deal with these annoying things. Because of my special nature, they always come to pry into my secrets, and the noise they make affects my sleep." Norris knocked on the rim of the coffee cup with a spoon: "I know this because you retired immediately after the incident, and then actively looked for a job, leaving the court life without any nostalgia. This is not what a person who still has ambitions for fame and fortune would do."
"Should I go?" Clayton asked him back.
"If you had gone, you would be called 'Sir' now. Even if you feel that this honor also makes you morally condemned, you can use your power to speak for justice and make up for this uneasiness. Just giving up is a bit short-sighted."
"Short-sighted? Maybe. When the fire of hatred has burned to my feet, I can't have a long-term vision anyway."
Clayton's next words will be a crime of blasphemy, but he doesn't care. Some things must be made clear.
"Norris, I refused to attend the banquet because of those who died in obscurity, including you. In addition to you, I can't stand to kowtow to Heron IV. During the time I lived in Asia, my contempt for her reached an unprecedented level."
"A girl as a ruler cannot show the spirit of maternal love, but instead takes the initiative to provoke war, break the war chess agreement, and make the situation worse. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives overseas. Even if we only talk about domestic affairs, we have to mention the crimes that happened in Asia. In front of this female monarch-where she grew up, the number of registered prostitutes alone is far more than Over 100,000, the most in the country. "
"She has no mercy for all her people, regardless of gender."
"I can honestly say that I am not a good person, but I am far from true evil."
"A person who enjoys killing, even if he kills one person a day, can only kill 400 people a year. And a person in a high position only needs to be ignorant of himself, and her stupidity is enough to kill thousands of people a day."
"Just seeing her makes me feel sick, let alone kneeling for her."
After listening to Clayton's words, Norris did not look calm, his fingers pinched the handle of the coffee cup again, even though it was empty.
"Clayton, if I say that she is not as reckless as people say, and even achieved a great purpose through this war, and all sacrifices are necessary, will you feel better? "
"I didn't know there was such a thing." Clayton replied coldly, and at the same time put out the cigarette that he had not smoked on the table.
The pupils in the center of the wolf's eyes were obviously expanding and shrinking, emitting dangerous signals. The atmosphere was like the cigarette in the werewolf's hand. It was very warm just now, but now it suddenly became cold and quiet.
"Maybe you don't know that the army's military reform was promoted by Queen Heron." Norris' tone slowed down: "If you raise your perspective a little higher, you will know that the war chess agreement is not reliable at all. Sooner or later, the powers will go to war because of the distribution of colonial interests. The division of our northern friends is the fuse of this drama."
"The Nords of Milenti defeated the king and nobles, but did not abolish the warlords called parliamentarians. Without the rulers at the top, the gradual strengthening of the forces in these regions does not affect their overall control over the colonies. Many colonies that originally belonged to the Milenti Kingdom have actually become independent. In addition to the colonies abandoned by these northerners, the fragmented Milenti itself is also quite tempting."
"Some countries are still watching, but some people have already sat at the table. You should have seen that more and more northerners have come to our country to make a living in recent years. This is the result of these countries secretly encroaching on Milenti."
"Not only the Hisar Islands Empire and the Taunton people, in order to eat this meat, many nomadic tribes on the grassland are about to unify, and the Wekias on the snowfield are also trying to restore their country. They have not signed anything. War chess agreement. In the north, the real war is ready and everyone is preparing."
"Our country is de-armed due to the long-term peace, and there are still a large number of people in high positions who rely on buying and selling military positions. Except for the navy, other forces can be said to be vulnerable. And the Hisar Islands Empire, Taunton, Mensis, Edom. These countries often had local conflicts with neighboring small countries, but retained a healthy military spirit. "
"At this critical juncture, she reawakened the soul of the army with a brief war to withstand the great tests that may come in the future of this continent. This is worth it to the entire country."
Peng!
Clayton stood up, and the cups and plates on the table jumped from the slap just now.
The flesh on his face tightened because of these words, making him look extremely ferocious.
"You mean she already knew everything?!" Clayton spoke heavily, his hand holding the table unconsciously exerting force, and his sharp black nails almost dug into the table.
"Most people don't know this, and it's not a secret for people like me." Norris also pressed his hands on the table to stabilize those shaky things. "We have reason to believe that the king of Taunton also knows this and has secretly reached some kind of agreement with our queen. The scale of this war has always been under control, and there is no element of surprise or pique. Once it is reached, The purpose is an immediate ceasefire, and in this regard, our Queen definitely deserves the title of 'The Wise One'."
Norris's words made Clayton feel dizzy. He raised his hand to hold his forehead. Suddenly there were chaotic sounds in the silence around his ears. It seemed that there were many people talking to him. The calm and peaceful cafe interior in front of him The scenery is also coated with a film of blood.
"Why do you say that?" To outsiders, his voice sounded extremely soft.
"Because the condemnation of our country's violation of the war chess agreement has been raging internationally, but as our opponent and victim itself, Taunton has not delved into this matter so far. Trade with us is also business as usual."
"Indeed, these things can be explained by coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence that the Taunton people are implementing the Supremacy Act at this time."
"Mirenti in the north is no longer able to do anything. As long as our neighbor remains silent and does not respond to the call of the Papal State Faliemas, the Knight King Balandel will only have to deal with the pressure of the church, which will have a negative impact on his The plan has great benefits.”
When Norris stopped, Albert laughed awkwardly.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"Sir, your conjecture is too exaggerated. She is already the king. She can directly issue decrees to promote military reform. Why do she need to promote war?"
"Because she doesn't have enough power." Clayton's mouth grinned, but his eyes didn't smile at all.
"In our country, the upper and lower houses have long divided the power of the king. When a considerable number of their members collude with the army for the benefit of the colony, the king's decrees cannot be passed unimpeded overseas."
In this situation, Heron IV had only one way to regain his army.
Secretly encourage those incompetent republican fools to regard Taunton as an enemy, declare war as a matter of course based on the voting results, and then let the kingdom's army lose the battle, and use legitimate methods to remove unqualified people from the army.
It may seem like a big gamble, but the stakes are actually not that high.
The Royalists also have considerable power and can maintain most of the domestic troops without letting the responsibility for starting the war fall on the shoulders of the Queen. As long as they use their mouthpieces well, they can even publicize this matter as a victory to the people. However, this makes it inconvenient to punish those senior officers who entered the army by buying and selling official positions.
The development of reality is completely consistent with this inference. Those people were not liquidated. The biggest punishment for them was to be dismissed from the army, but their dignity was still preserved, so that they did not have enough motivation to continue to entangle with the queen.
As the chosen whetstones, the Tauntons are unlikely to take drastic actions. Their armies are more deployed in the north and west to deal with the other two neighbors, even if Heron IV and Balandur The secret agreement broke down, and the King of Knights was unable to take action to start a real war.
"Thank you, I finally know the outcome of this battle." Clayton tasted the bitter taste in his mouth: "We were all sold."
"But a good price," Norris said.
Clayton staggered down and sat down. He was breathing heavily and saw blood oozing from the empty plate. The names on the menu turned into known names, each with a clear price.
Ulen's name is also in it, and the price is in line with the positioning of this cafe.
"You have also shed your blood for this country. Do you think it is worth it?" He asked the two people next to him with difficulty. The rich blood color made it difficult for him to see the faces of these two people clearly.
Norris looked at him with pity: "My feelings are not important, because things have already happened, and not accepting the results will only increase the pain."
"At least we know she is not an incompetent monarch." Albert seemed a lot more relaxed: "Although some people were sacrificed, the results were good. We maintained stability and..."
"roar--"
A roar burst from Clayton's thickened throat, interrupting his speech.
It was like a bomb exploded indoors, and many windows of the cafe shook violently at the same time, with dense white cracks climbing rapidly on the glass.
