Seeing that the three-day agreement was coming up in a blink of an eye, the various factions in Mase City became even more nervous.
Hassan began to use various reasons to delay the dispatch of troops to the Eastern Region. Since McCann might be secretly colluding with Homulus except for himself, it would be better to stay in Maser at this time and figure out the situation first.
If you lead an army on an expedition and are stabbed in the back, wouldn't all your efforts be in vain?
At this time, the marshal felt quite anxious.
It is never easy for a pure soldier to suddenly take over the power of a country.
The only thing that made him feel gratified was the relaxation and change of Temple's attitude.
This kid seems to have temporarily put aside his "foolish loyalty" to Capricorn Tong and started to worry about planning for the future of his family.
"It will be three days soon. Do you think Capricorn Tong will really come back to Masak?" Hassan asked worriedly in the main hall of the handsome manor.
"With the queen's temper, she will definitely return here as soon as she recovers her health. She kills even veterans of Ganmir's level at will, so how can she let other opponents go?!" Chen Yuxuan Xu said.
After staying in the Commander's Mansion for a few days, he was already very familiar with the environment here. He could imitate Dempla's movements, posture, expressions and tone of voice, and he became more comfortable with it.
"Since we have agreed to meet at Lufang, should we arrange our manpower in advance and capture Capricorn Tong in one fell swoop?" Hassan said fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes.
A pained expression appeared on Chen Yu's face. He pondered for a long time before whispering: "No matter what the reason is, I will never take action against Tongtong. Moreover, I also want you to promise that no matter what, you must ensure that she safety."
Hassan was not surprised at all by his son's words. He sighed softly and said: "I also watched Capricorn Tong grow up, and I have served her with all my heart for so long. How could I deal with her unless I had no choice?! But, as of now, we have no other choice!"
"I understand your difficulties, which is why I no longer oppose this matter. But do we really have no choice?" Chen Yu asked with a gloomy face.
But he was thinking in his heart: "If Templera knows that I deceived his father like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to work with him in the future! Mr. Mai, this move of yours is too damaging."
"Son! What do you mean..." Hassan heard that there was something wrong in Chen Yu's words and hurriedly asked.
"Commander Father, think about it, since Homulus can fight both sides, why do we have to have a quarrel with the Queen?" Chen Yu said softly.
After hearing the words, Hassan pondered for a long time before saying helplessly: "My child! There is no turning back. After all, it was me who ordered the suspension of Capricorn Tong's exercise of power. Now, even if I show my kindness to her, I'm afraid she already hates me. There will be no room for maneuver!"
"That's not what I meant. I just don't want to be used as a weapon by Stephen's people anymore. They are not as worried about the Queen's return as we are. At this time, if we stand still and stabilize our position, then they must directly solve it This question." Chen Yu explained.
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, he continued to confuse: "Wouldn't it be better to let Stephen and the others take action and let us reap the benefits? Moreover, in this way, we can also force Homulus to express his position. Save time. We charged forward, but we made wedding clothes for others! The initiative is best if I have it in my own hands."
After hearing this, Hassan felt moved in his heart.
He felt that his son had matured.
The young man in front of him is no longer just a straightforward and straightforward person. Instead, he truly became a foresighted and wise general.
Hassan smiled with relief. He seemed to have seen the shocked and panic expressions on the faces of Wilson and Homulus when they saw that he refused to take action.
"Humph! Let's do it! I want them to know who has the final say in Suril right now!" Marshal Hassan growled fiercely.
At this moment, the attendant reported that Wilson, the deputy leader of the McCann mission, asked for an audience.
Hassan and Chen Yu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
The purpose of visiting at this juncture is self-evident.
Hassan ordered Chen Yu to avoid it, and then personally welcomed Wilson into the room.
"How are the preparations for sending troops to the Eastern Region? When will we set off? With your warrant, my people should be able to successfully promote the ancestors to launch an attack on the Holy Castle. Once fighting breaks out over there, your reinforcements will be delayed. If you are late, it will affect the implementation of the entire plan!" Wilson asked unceremoniously as soon as he sat down.
He was used to Hassan's obedience in front of him, so when there were no outsiders, he no longer had any scruples in speaking.
But now, Hassan's mentality has changed. It is a kind of anger after being betrayed by his master.
Therefore, Wilson's arrogant tone made the marshal feel particularly harsh at this time.
"Yes! I understand! I am also anxious! However, the city of Maser is not yet stable, and there was another murderous case in which the Telji mission was intercepted and killed. I have to deal with these things first, and then discuss sending troops!" Hassan There was resentment in his heart, but he didn't dare to turn his face directly, so he said patiently.
Wilson had not yet noticed the change in Hassan, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you tell Homulus to investigate the matter of the Telji mission?! We will not turn a blind eye to this. So, you There is no need to worry about this matter. As for the security of the city of Maser, it is not your responsibility as a marshal to take care of it. "
Wilson's words were full of lessons, and he obviously didn't take Marshal Hassan seriously at all.
Seeing the opponent's attitude, Hassan calmed down. He rolled his eyes and said tentatively: "I will lead the troops on an expedition, and Homulus will naturally follow me. How can he do it if he doesn't finish what he is doing? Besides, , I heard some news recently, this guy seems to be colluding with the remaining forces of Capricorn Tong, I'm afraid it's not reliable! If that's the case, I have to take him with me to feel relieved."
"Homulus is your old subordinate. He has a share in deposing the queen. How can he collude with Capricorn Tong again! Don't worry about these gossipy things! You should focus on sending troops now. Right! Moreover, when you go out to send troops, there must always be trustworthy people guarding Marseille, so why not let Homulus stay for safety!" Wilson said in a gloomy tone.
When Hassan heard these words, his heart became cold.
It's such a good plan to lead the troops out to fight with the Ruhrs, but let Homulus stay behind!
Originally, this arrangement was normal when there was no doubt about the deputy commander. But now, these words have come out of Wilson's mouth, so it is almost a definite fact that Homulus and McCann colluded in private!
Hurrah! It turns out that you really did have some skills!
Hassan was furious, but he nodded calmly and said, "What you said makes sense. Maybe I'm worrying too much! However, I'm still a little worried about Capricorn Tong's movements. If she takes advantage of me to lead the army to go out, she will suddenly What should we do if we return to Maser to seize power? I’m afraid we can’t just rely on that old guy from Homulus!”
"This is the real reason why you hesitate to send troops!" Wilson thought to himself.
He immediately realized that Temple had informed Hassan of the queen's imminent return to Masak.
"That's right! We have also received information that Capricorn Tong will most likely sneak back to Mase tomorrow. Another purpose of why I came to you today is to ask you to cooperate in getting rid of this trouble!" Wilson said bluntly.
When Hassan heard this, he did not pretend to be surprised. He pondered for a moment and said decisively: "It is inconvenient for the Suril military to participate in this matter. Because Capricorn Tong has a high prestige in the army, if we treat her Take action, once the news is leaked, there is likely to be a mutiny!"
