    Chapter 516 [Lip as spear, tongue if sword]

    “General, where are you going?”

    As soon as this was said, Green's eyes suddenly became cold, and the pupil suddenly shrank, staring at Sophie's eyes, and the eyes seemed to penetrate people!

    However, this look faded in an instant, Green quickly calmed down, and the baleful aura on his face also dissipated. He looked at Sufi's eyes and gradually became more peaceful. Finally, he actually pulled his lips and showed a hint of ridicule. Smile.

    The young girl looked up and looked at the bright moon, suddenly sighed and whispered: "General Green, I actually admire you."

    "Admire me?"Green frowned.

    "Yes."

    Sophie looked sincere and looked at Green's eyes and said slowly: "You are from the Imperial Capital Military Academy. Once the oldest and most promising military junta of the empire, even Duke Minas praised you, saying that you may be His most outstanding disciple! Fourteen years ago, you had been at the Rhodelia Army and had participated in two wars against Odin, starting with a Platonon Leader, but after two years of hard work, he was promoted to Flag Battalion. If I didn't remember the information, when you were the flag officer in the Rhodelia cavalry Army, General Adrick was still far from famous. The two wars you have participated in against Odin. For the first time, you are a garrison officer. With three hundred savage surprises, Odin’s logistics base burned the Odin’s weight. In the first battle, you were injured six. With three hundred and six elite deaths and injuries, but successfully broke the Odin's supply, so that the enemy had to retreat.

    The second time you went through the war against Odin, when you were already the flag officer of Flag Battalion, the battle was against me. The main force of the empire was defeated, and the Rhodelia cavalry Army was ordered to intercept Odin's chasing troops and cover the army's retreat. It is you, the pro-rate more than a thousand cavalry, with almost suicidal harassment, blocking the Odin people's army chasing troops, smashing blood for three hundred miles! However, he finally won the time for the army to withdraw, forcibly delaying the pursuit of a legion of the Odin people for fifteen days.

    After that war, you were already the outstanding general of the younger generation of the emperor. Almost everyone has decided that you will be promoted to become the new General of the Rhodelia cavalry Army General!

    Throughout the history of the Emperor's squad, the Empire has been the empire of Marshal for nearly two hundred years, with a total of 37 people, of whom thirty-three have served as General of Rhodelia cavalry. Anyone who has served Rhodelia cavalry Army General will be promoted to the top of the military without exception. The lowest is the senior official of the chief rank. It can be said that once the General of the Rhodelia cavalry Army is appointed, it is equivalent to a plan. The avenue leading to the high-rise position of the Emperor! For example, General Adrick, the current Minister of the Emperor, such as Duke Minas, has been the Rhodelia cavalry Army General.

    If not…If you didn't later cause the wariness of the warlord party, you will be forced to transfer you away from Rhodelia cavalry. I am afraid that today you are already the minister of the emperor. If you say that, if that's the case, I'm afraid General Adrick won't have a chance today…"

    Green heard this and frowned and said, "What do you mean by admiring me?" HumThere is nothing to say. ”

    "I admire your nature is not this."Sophie shook his head, and his eyes became softer and softer: "Fourteen years ago, when you were the flag governor of Flag Battalion at the Rhodelia cavalry Army, you were involved in the second war against Odin, and finally In the battle of the pro-rate of more than a thousand fine rides, ordered to intercept Odin, the father used to play in the army, is in the Rhodelia cavalry Army, under your command."

    Green glanced, and some unexpectedly looked at Sophie.

    Sophie took a deep breath and solemnly said: "My father's name is Ferik, who was a garrison officer…"

    "Ferick?"Green was a little bit sullen, nodded, frowning at Sophie: "Ferick? I remember him, he is my third garrison officer, a brave warrior, a very good officer, I remember that he is a southern accent, we all like to call him a southern cricket. Didn't you think that he was actually his daughter? ”

    "Yes, my father is Firik."Sophie sighed and whispered, "he told me about the tragedy of the war, you thousands of cavalry and Odin pursuers bleed 300 miles, finally received the news can be evacuated, the personnel have been killed more than half, and then you were the Odin people's Caribou Cavalry Brigade to the dead, My father once urged to take small people left after the break, cover the evacuation of others, but you as the chief officer, but insisted on staying in the broken army, and my father to fight alongside. In that battle, the two hundred warriors after the break, only lived back to the seventeen ride. My father was seriously injured, but on the battlefield, you did not abandon him, but personally bloody blood, will be forced out of the siege, the end of the war, you and my father two people ride a horse horse siege, and finally run back, you two are covered with bruises, the weather is cold, all the way down, The bodies of the two of you are put together, the wounds and blood are solidified together, and the doctors who save you will not be able to separate the two of you, or you will have to cut your flesh open with a knife before you finally separate the two of you. In that battle, my father was rewarded with a life, and he earned a life. He told me that you are the best Sir he has ever seen in his life. ”

    Green heard this and nodded silently: "Thank you for his praise…Well, how is your father doing now? Still alive? ”

    And pity.Sufi slowly said: "My father returned from the battlefield at that time, but because the injury was too heavy, he had to intercept the calves of his right arm and left leg and he could only leave the army. Later, because the body was too weak, the old wounds were difficult to heal, and they went away in less than a year. At that time, I was still young, and my teacher was pity, and I was adopted at home, and I was accepted as a disciple. ”

    Green listened and sighed for a long time: "Feirik, is he dead?" Pity……It is a pity that a good man. I remember that he was the most brave officer of my majesty. Otherwise, I would not hand over such a dangerous task to his troops. After that war, I came down from the battlefield, also seriously injured, was sent to imperial Capital treatment, unfortunately, some people in the military field do not want me to continue to stay in Rhodelia cavalry, my injury is not good, was those bastards planted a headstrong, delayed fighter charges, I got me into a court-martial, and in the end my teacher came forward to save me, so I made an emergency transfer from the north and got to the local troops in the eastern part of the Empire. I was too anxious. Afterwards, I wrote to my colleagues and comrades in front of me. I also asked your father about the news. Unfortunately, I have never heard back. Eh…What happened in the past…This has been for the past fourteen years. ”

    "Yes."Sophie nodded and looked at Green, solemnly saying: "Because of this, I said, I am deeply impressed by you."

    "Mm."Green seemed to smile with a bitter smile: "The chief of the sergeant does not have to be too polite, so that Zun is my underarm officer. On the battlefield, I and he are the robes of life and death. If you change it, he will definitely try to save me." Moreover, your first teacher from Carvesylver Lord, who is now the chief of the general Shaar in the north, is also worthy of the prestige. ”

    Talking about the past events, unconsciously, the originally stiff atmosphere seems to have eased a lot.

    Sophie smiled a little: "General Green, because I respect you, I have to chase you tonight."

    "The chief of staff is really not sure where I am going?"Green said faintly: "Since you can catch up here, naturally everything I have been guessed by you, why bother to ask such a sentence." HumIf you really think that my Green is going south…I am afraid that it is not two of you who are chasing here, but a team of armored horses. Hey, I know, this Junker General used to be the Chief of the Royal Family Nightfall Guardian. Since he was attached to Shaar, I am afraid I also trained a good soldier. ”

    Sophie seemed to smile: "General is laughing."

    The two looked at each other and chose to close their mouths at the same time.

    Sophie is definitely smart, and Green is a stupid person?

    Both of them know very well: If Green really chooses to go south, and wants to go down to Imperial Capital to go to Duke Minas, then Sophie is now, just afraid to bring a team of elite soldiers to come!

    If Green really fled south from the Northern Army, if he really returned Green to Imperial Capital and went to Duke Minas, it would be a fatal blow to the emerging group in the northern defending area!

    It can be said that when Green made a public appearance under Imperial Capital Duke Minas, I am afraid that the group of the Northern Army will fall apart!

    Green is prestigious among the Northern Army, second only to Shaar, and for those senior military officers who are from the Central Army, I am afraid that the prestige is even worse than Shaar! After all, among the Northern Army, Shaar's prestige was built more in the Cavalry.

    And if Green, the leader of the Northern Army, quietly left, and finally appeared at the side of Imperial Capital Duke Minas, I am afraid that most of the military officers in the Northern Army who were born in the Central Army will be the most Shake and swing! Even the core of one of the founders of the Northern Army, such as Green, has gone to Duke Minas. The other people are afraid of the same kind of learning.

    Therefore, even Green himself can't help but believe that if he really wants to leave, then he must not let himself live to the side of Imperial Capital Duke Minas! Even if you kill yourself halfway, it is better to let yourself appear in Imperial Capital! After all, killing yourself, big deal, giving yourself a crime of defection, although it will make the military shake, but there is always room for things to be cleaned up. If you let yourself live to Imperial Capital, will you erect a living for later generations? "example"? !

    So, a dead "Mad Dog" is better than a Green who appears alive at Imperial Capital.

    (I believe that you are not going to the South, so you did not bring troops to intercept.)

    This is the subtext of Sophie. How can Green not understand?

    At the moment the night wind gradually rising, Sophie all the way, the original body of the weak clothes early by sweat soaked, can not help shivering two, and then to the fire moved, picked up the floor of the wine bag, screwed open and drank two mouth, this just looked at Green: "General, you want to go, I do not want to force block, I know You will not really make sorry for the northern army, sorry Shaar, but, I came here tonight, always have a few words to say. ”

    "I know that the chief of staff, Lord, is coming here in the middle of the night and will never leave easily. Ok, if you have anything, just say it. ”Green frowned.

    Sophie nodded and stared at Green: "Dare to ask General, what about Duke Minas' comeback, do it and evaluate it?"

    Green snorted: "Lord Duke is the pillar of Senior Elder in the Emperor's ***. At this moment, the country is in a difficult position. There is a military squadron like him who comes to the town to turn the tide and naturally integrate the upper and lower arms and make our army…"

    "Hey, General, what do you believe in yourself?"Sophie interrupted Green's words unceremoniously.

    Green had a glimpse of his eyes and seemed to want to refute, but his lips were open, but he finally did not say a word.

    Because of these words, it is just a joke to deceive the unemployed officers in the middle and lower ranks of the army. For people like them, it is a joke.

    “Duke Minas is of course the Senior Elder in Emperor ***, and I originally respected Lord Duke.”Sophie sighed: "But Lord Duke, after all, is Lord Duke. His identity is not only the solider of the empire, but also a duke. He is carrying more than just a solider mission, but also a surname, a The responsibility of the family, therefore, many things, I am afraid it is not his own."

    Sophie said here, as if he smiled deliberately, faintly said: "Lord Duke's comeback this time will affect General Adrick's position in the military and not to say whether it is the balance of the Royal Family to seize power, I am not Make an evaluation. I only want to say one thing: If Lord Duke is really dedicated to the public, then when he took office, he sent a secret letter to the north, and he still handed it to your hand through some unspeakable channels. in……"Sophie deliberately paused again, faintly said: "General Green, you don't often say a word: 'If there is no ghost in the heart, nothing can be said to people'?"

    "you! presumptuous! ! ”Green suddenly angered, and jumped up, screaming at Sophie and shouting: "The little girl is arrogant!" Lord Duke has worked hard for the country for the rest of his life, so you can be smashed by this little woman! ”

    In the face of Green's anger, Sophie did not fear, facing his eyes, faintly said: "General, I am just talking about things, and did not have a bad word about Lord Duke."There is nothing to say to people. This is not what I said, but your motto. ”

“…………”Green suddenly stopped. To say the bickering argument, his straight solider, where is the opponent of the versatile disciple of Sophie, Carvesylver?

    "Lord Duke's work, which is a bit of a public mind, a few selfish, I do not evaluate, compared to your own mind."Sophie sighed: "I only regret one thing, but unfortunately…Unfortunately, my father is very respectful to you, and I respect you. I thought that a few years ago, when you played in the Eastern Army, you once angered the shady military money of the Emperor’s logistics department. Even once angered the then chief of the military’s logistics department, Moriac Count, it was almost necessary to draw a knife on the spot. Rush to kill this evil. In the past, Grand Duke's selfless tough guy, General Green, has become a coward who will be privately determined to be righteous. Isn't that sigh? ”

    "I …Green's face was blue and his fingers shivered slightly, and he took a deep breath, as if he couldn't stand Sophie's eyes and twisted his head elsewhere.

    "Byzantine Empire is gradually weakening, Osgiliath counterattacks a battle, but it is the beginning of the dawn, but the situation is gorgeous, in fact, nothing has improved. Local military regions governor the warlords still occupy more than half of the territory of the Empire, Odin people foreign enemies eyeing, and still in the west and east of the county does not retreat, the northern Army although there are general Shaar Shenwu, the Siltan County, but after all, the military exhaustion, the northern Army is only two years, Although the wind is strong, but after all, the start-up, can be described as a defunct, this time, you pull away, although the fight is two do not participate, stay out of the mind, but …This is the whole empire, you alone, can you really get out of it? ”

“……”Green is still speechless.

    "I know that Duke Minas is your teacher and I am very kind to you, but you are certainly his student, and it is Empire General, the general of Byzantine! Whenever I want to remember, you are first a Byzantine, then a disciple! ”Sophie cold and cold: "When Osgiliath fell, I was at Imperial Capital. The former Xiongxiong of the mainland was burned by the rebels, and most of the cities became ruins! The rebels burned and looted in the city, no evil! There is an imperial priest, General Spence, who died, and died on the Imperial City! Such as General Adrick, with the remnants of the martyrdom of the Arc de Triomphe, the military number is endless! Such as General Ruhr, although retired, but still with the home of the family will be veterans, and the rebels bloody fight! But you know, how did your teacher, who is as good as a mountain, do it when the city breaks? ”

“……MeGreen closed his eyes.

    "You don't know, I can tell you."Sophie faintly said: "At that time, the rebels entered the city, the Duke ordered the closure of the government gate, outside the government, the rebels will be street ***, but do not invade the Duke's House, both sides have nothing to do, even the Duke's daily food for the food Degrees, there are rebel sent people to come in. Lord Duke is the pillar of the Senior Elder in the Emperor's ***, but it's a good time to stay out! Let the rebels do evil in the city, he is Lord Duke, who has been a senior empire for a lifetime, but he continues to close his door to be his tumbler! Even the Young Duke Lord Rhody Lord, when he was eager to go out with his family and the rebels, he was almost interrupted by the Duke and tied up! So empire Marshal! So the Duke of Empire! So the Imperial Pillar! ! Ridiculous! ”

    Sophie said here, the tone gradually became excited: "General Green…Just when General Spence died on the Imperial City! Just when General Adrick took the soldiers without clothes and food, and died in the snow during the Arc de Triomphe! Just when General Ruhr took home with fewer than a dozen people and the rebels were fighting in the city! The Duke Minas was in his own house, and a rebel army outside the door gave him a door to eat the food the rebels sent him! Sometimes, I can't help but think about a problem…"

    "What?ProblemsGreen's voice is a little weak.

    "I think: Atlantean didn't arrive in time on holiday, and the Imperial City fell on the day. Osgiliath was completely occupied by the rebels. If the Byzantine Empire really died in the battle of Osgiliath, then…How many people will die for this country? I think General Spence has given us the answer with his life! I think General Adrick will definitely be generous to death! I think General Ruhr will certainly be willing to shed the last drop of blood! But…What about Lord Duke? If at that time, Osgiliath really fell, the empire really died, you said the 'empire pillar stone', he…What will happen? ”

    "You, don't say it!!"

    Green suddenly screamed, then sighed and fell down and sat down.

    For a long time, Green didn't hear what Sophie said. He looked up and found that the little girl had handed over the wine bag quietly. Green grabbed it and looked up. He snorted into the mouth. He was too anxious to drink, and the wine flowed out from both sides of the mouth, dripping down and dampening the clothes.

    Most of the bag of wine was completely simmered by Green. Then he threw the bag away, widened his eyes, and stared at Sophie. After a while, Green's gasp gradually calmed down, whispering: "You, don't say it."

    "I just said the answer that you already have in your heart."Sophie said faintly: "In fact, you already know this in your heart! Otherwise, you will not go north, but go south to the empire 'empire pillar stone'! Just because you understand this in your heart, you didn't really betray the Northern Army. Instead, you chose to leave, that is, the Duke Minas Lord's kindness to you, and not to bear the Northern Army. In your heart, that's what you think. ”

    "Lord Duke, Lord…Even if it is wrong, but I…I can't ignore his kindness. Without a teacher, I have already become a bone in the grave today. ”Green shook his head, but the sound seemed to be ***: "I will not do anything sorry for the Northern Army. I, I can only help each other, and I left. I am alone, I am…"

    "General Green, these words, you can tell me."Sophie sneered: "But these words, in your own heart, really believe?"

    She had already stood up, patted the gray soil on her body, calmly walked to the side, turned over the horse, looked at Green, and said faintly: "I came to send it, and that is what I said, and finally I have to say There is only one sentence left: General, you are first a Byzantine person, and then other identities."

    After that, Sophie actually stopped for a moment, snoring, whipping the horse, and the horse returned to the road and went south.

    Junker also started, but in the end, he paused a little and looked at Green, who was still sitting on the ground. He sighed softly and whispered: "You can go, but the other soldiers in the army, too. Can you leave it? If everyone can leave this way, then who will do it? General, I don't quite know the truth, these words, you think about it. ”

    Junker shook his head and turned his head. He chased Sufi to the south, leaving Green alone, sitting in the same place, silently looking at the fire and breaking into the gods…
