Chapter 146 Selection Loss
Lampari XIII was silent for a while, sighed softly: "Eric is my son, why should I watch him die?" Viscount Leslie slowly shook his head: "I don't know. But Your Majesty, you now In my opinion, this is what I want to do. Eric is a friend I grew up with, and as his friend, I must come to ask you this question." Lampari XIII laughed He smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile. "I know you were invited by Eric to stay with him for a period of time after you retired from the Zhenbei Army, but I'm afraid Eric didn't ask you to ask this question, did you?" Viscount Leslie raised his mouth With a bitter smile, he sighed softly: "It's true that he didn't ask me to ask, it's my own decision." "So have you told Eric your judgment? Have you ever dissuaded him from attacking?" What about the Kingdom of Sark?" Lampari XIII asked. Viscount Leslie was silent, and after a while, he sighed and shook his head again. "No, Eric is now confident in attacking the Kingdom of Sark, and he will not be able to enter any objections, so I hope that your majesty will personally order to stop him." Lampari XIII knocked on the stool deputy, looked at Leslie, the sarcasm in her smile deepened a little. "Then do you know that Eric can have such a strong confidence, in fact, it was given to him by those who supported him in the kingdom? Among them, your father is also included." Viscount Leslie was even more silent Of course, he knew what role the Stark family represented by his father played in this. He's even clear about it. In order to support His Royal Highness to lead the Zhenbei Army to launch a counterattack against the Sark Kingdom this time, the Stark family has already invested a minimum of five million gold coins in capital and material resources. As for the human resources of the Stark family used in this, it is even more immeasurable. And except for the Stark family. The other major nobles in the kingdom who supported Prince Eric also supported the Zhenbei Army in all aspects, making the current Zhenbei Army have sufficient logistics supplies and equipment personnel, and it can even be said that the Zhenbei Army The most abundant time since its establishment. It is precisely because of this that Prince Eric is full of confidence in this counterattack against the Sark Kingdom. He feels that he has the support of so many nobles in the kingdom, and he will be able to easily defeat the Sark Kingdom, creating the most powerful state since the founding of the Lampari Kingdom. Brilliant military exploits. Possess this military merit. Naturally, he could easily defeat Seweni and another Prince Mifam who was not favored by others, and become the only heir to the throne. Seeing Viscount Leslie was speechless. Lampari XIII put away the smile on his face, snorted softly, and said in a deep voice: "Leslie, do you know? Even I can't directly order to stop Eric from attacking Sark now." Kingdom?" Viscount Leslie thought for a while, sighed, and nodded. At this time, Prince Eric led the Zhenbei Army to attack the Kingdom of Sark, and the arrow is on the string, so it has to be launched. Even if Prince Eric suddenly changed his mind, the big families who supported him behind him would never allow him to do so. Otherwise, the large amount of manpower and material resources that the major families have invested in him and the Zhenbei Army is equivalent to wasting their efforts in vain. It is not even an exaggeration to say. Whether it is Prince Eric, the Zhenbei Army, or even the major nobles in the kingdom who support Prince Eric, they have all been tied to the same chariot. This chariot must drive towards the Kingdom of Sark. No one can stop it. Even His Majesty the King, who has the strongest power in the kingdom, couldn't forcefully stop the chariot from starting. After all, even the most honorable His Majesty the King cannot stop the will of a large number of noble families represented by the Stark family in the kingdom. Thinking of this, Viscount Leslie couldn't help sighing again, glanced at Lampari XIII, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, I don't believe you didn't foresee this in advance, but why did you Didn't you stop it in advance? If you give the order at the first time, I think it can be redeemed." Lampari XIII was silent for a moment, and replied: "Sending the three of them out was originally a test for them. This is Eric's own choice, of course I will not interfere at will." Viscount Leslie suddenly became angry, and said loudly: "But this is not only related to Eric, but also to the tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army Wan’s soldiers are involved! Do you want to watch the innocent soldiers of the Zhenbei Army go to their deaths?” King Lampari XIII glanced at Leslie and suddenly laughed. "It seems that you have served in the Zhenbei Army for two years, and you already have feelings for the Zhenbei Army. Not bad, not bad..." Seeing that Lampari XIII avoided answering his own questions, Viscount Leslie thought He was even more annoyed, but his rationality told him that it was absolutely impossible for him to really question His Majesty the King, so he could only suppress his anger, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. Staring at Lampari XIII for a while, Viscount Leslie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are thinking, but... please forgive me for being disrespectful to you, I think what you are doing now is very Wrong. If you continue to do this, our Lampari Kingdom will most likely suffer a huge loss, and this loss may not even be borne by you." Lampari XIII turned his head slightly and looked northwest With a glance, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. "Yeah, I may really not be able to bear the possible loss. But I have no other choice than the more terrible loss imaginable.
Which would you choose to accept, Leslie, given the serious loss of both but the possibility of recovering one of them? "Viscount Leslie was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I only know that people cannot be resurrected after death. I hope that your majesty can seriously consider it. Lampari XIII smiled slightly: "The dead are just a slight loss." Leslie. You are too young to understand. Viscount Leslie took a breath and shook his head. He saluted Lampari XIII and turned to leave. After walking out of the palace, Viscount Leslie looked up at the city of Anvilmar, which was cloudy today. Some gloomy sky, I just feel that my mood at the moment is as gloomy as this sky. The conversation with His Majesty the King did not get the result he wanted, but it made him more aware of some of His Majesty's thoughts. And what he detected Thoughts made him extremely chilled. If His Majesty the King knew the consequences, but still chose not to take any action, then it proved that he had already been mentally prepared for Prince Eric's actions this time. However, it was precisely because of this that he Viscount Leslie was very disappointed. Prince Eric said that he is also His Majesty's own son. Is he really planning to sit back and watch his son fall into danger? "If Eric is me, Your Majesty is his father If so, how would the father choose? "Viscount Leslie pondered for a moment, but found a fact that made him feel even more chilling. If he had a serious conflict with the overall interests of the Stark family, then he was sure that his father would definitely give up on him without hesitation, even He will be more straightforward and cruel than His Majesty the King. "Is this the fate of being born into a noble family? "Viscount Leslie shook his head with a wry smile. When he turned his head, he saw a store with all kinds of household magic machines in the window facing the street outside the palace. One of the magic air conditioners was running non-stop. Blowing out gusts of warm air, warming the frosted glass of the window until there was only a stream of water. Seeing these household magic machines, Viscount Leslie was as cold as the seasons His heart also instantly felt a little warm. Because seeing these household magic machines, Viscount Leslie thought of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. When he thought of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he naturally thought of Xu Yi. Although strictly speaking, he and Xu Yi The time we spent together is not particularly long. But he can see that Xu Yi is a person who has a long-term goal and is full of enthusiasm and passion because of this goal. And this goal in his heart is even more appreciated by Viscount Leslie , so every time he thinks of Xu Yi, he always feels comforted. "If everyone in the kingdom could be like Xu Yi. Working hard to improve everyone's life, how comfortable life in the kingdom should be now. "After thinking for a while, Viscount Leslie laughed at himself. He knew very well that even Xu Yi himself might not have such a naive idea. Looking around, Viscount Leslie sat in the carriage. , Came to Earl Summer's other courtyard in Anweimar City. Seeing Viscount Leslie's sudden arrival, Director Ram greeted him in astonishment. "Master Viscount, when did you come back? " "I just came back yesterday. Viscount Leslie replied with a smile, and glanced into the other courtyard. "Is Alex here, let him come out, I want to talk to him about something." Director Ram shook his head: "Alex returned to Banta City a month ago, don't you know?" Oh yes, you just came back yesterday, of course you don't know. Look at me stupid..." "Back to Bonta City? Viscount Leslie was taken aback. "Is he going back temporarily?" Did you say when to come again? "No, he is no longer the director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in Anweimar City. According to what he said before he left, after returning to Banta City this time, he might not have the chance to come to Anweimar again. ’ said Ram. “Not a supervisor anymore?” Why? Viscount Leslie was a little strange. "Didn't Xu Yi personally send him here? Could it be that he planned to give him a promotion when he returned this time?" ""I don't know, but it shouldn't be a promotion, it's more like...it's more like punishment..." Director Ram said uncertainly. "When President Xu came to Anweimar City before, I saw him a few times. When I faced Alex the first time, my face was not very good. I think it might be that Alex did something, President Xu was not happy. "Make Xu Yi look bad?" Viscount Leslie frowned. "If you can make this good-tempered guy look bad, then it seems that Alex really did something wrong." Well, he's gone, there must be someone to succeed him in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? Who will take over as supervisor? Where are you now? Do you know? "The person who took over is Director Farlane. He just... Huh?" Isn't this the carriage of Director Falan, he's back! "Viscount Leslie turned his head and saw a man in his thirties jumped out of the carriage. Before Viscount Leslie could speak, Supervisor Farlane greeted him with a big smile and greeted Viscount Leslie with a smile. He bowed and said: "Master Viscount, Mr. President will be very happy to know that you have returned to Anweimar City. I think when he returns from Sewell, he will definitely make a special trip to Anvilmar to see you. ""you know me? Viscount Leslie asked in astonishment. "I was fortunate enough to meet you a few times when I was in Bangta City. Of course, you will definitely not remember the villain, Mr. Viscount." Director Fallan said with a smile. Viscount Leslie nodded, not bothering about this issue, and asked again: "Are you the new director of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce here?" So have the power to represent the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? "Supervisor Falan pondered: "I can represent the chamber of commerce in general matters.
"Well, I am here this time to discuss cooperation with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and open a magic machinery factory. Can you make this decision?" Director Falan looked at Viscount Leslie in astonishment, thought for a while, and asked, "Master Viscount, are you here to discuss on behalf of yourself or the Stark family?" Viscount Leslie smiled and replied: "Only on behalf of myself." "Director Falan's face immediately became extremely strange. (To be continued)
