As the setting sun slanted, the 700,000-horse-colored army emerged from the rolling dust and began to set up camp.
Here, it is only a stone's throw away from the Zuovia Valley, the choke point of the Eastern Region.
The valley with rugged rocks is gradually shrouded in the mist of dusk. The birds there are silent and the animals are silent. It is so quiet that it makes people feel frightened.
Marshal Hassan, who had been awake all night, looked at the entrance with a temporary curtain with blood-red eyes, his face uncertain.
He was still in shock from the horse-colored urgent report.
Capricorn Tong would actually abdicate and hand over Su Lier's power to Templeton.
Oh my gosh! It happened so suddenly! It was completely beyond Hassan's expectations.
The most important thing is that if this information is true, then what is the point of fighting Ruers to the death?
On the surface, he supported the lords of the Eastern Territory in returning to Maser to seize power, but secretly colluded with the Macken people, and then helped to bring down Capricorn Tong, and then killed Sigton... Everything Hassan did, including the promise he made to the Macken people After the event is completed, he is willing to serve as a pawn to attack Ruhr. In the final analysis, isn't it for power? Isn’t it Suriel’s throne? !
So now that the royal power has been obtained, how valuable is it to go to the Eastern Region?
However, if they stagnate or return to fighting, can Wilson and his gang give up?
This question has been bothering him, and Hassan is faced with a difficult choice.
Therefore, after the army set off today, the Marshal remained silent and followed in a confused manner.
It was only just now that he seemed to suddenly wake up and give the order to stop advancing.
Now we are very close to the Eastern Region, but there is still no news. This situation has been going on for several days.
The scouts who were released were just a bunch of losers, most of them had no achievements at all, and some of them would disappear as soon as they got even slightly close to the target.
This phenomenon can only explain one problem. The people from the Eastern Region are ready and they have made their position clear.
A stand that will never yield.
"You can't take the initiative to start a war, otherwise there will be endless troubles!" This sentence was the conclusion Hassan just came to.
Of course, if everyone in the Eastern Territory is prepared to fight to the end and refuse to submit, the Marshal would not mind helping his son eradicate this cancer.
After all, a complete Suriel will be the best coronation gift for the new king!
However, even if we want to fight, we have to wait for Dongyu to take action first!
Otherwise, if the first thing his son does after he takes the throne is to start a civil war and attack the Eastern Region, then regardless of the victory or defeat in this battle, it will be a stain on his life.
This was Hassan's final decision.
As for sending troops to the Holy Castle, he has temporarily excluded it from the plan.
Since Capricorn Tong voluntarily abdicates, the theory that the Queen and Luers colluded to seize Suriel will be self-defeating.
Without excuses and without a name, how can we fight this battle?
In this regard, Wilson and the others have nothing to say!
"Hmph! After all the fighting, I, Hassan, am the final winner!" The marshal thought he had figured out all the joints, and his mood suddenly brightened, and he laughed heartily.
"Marshal, Mr. Wilson, Ms. Delbora, and a gentleman named Philip want to see you!" An attendant came in and reported.
"Well! I think it's time to come! Let them come in!" Hassan ordered calmly.
"Yes! Oh, and there are also the deputy commander-in-chief and his cronies, and General Farouk is also with them!" The attendant looked embarrassed and stuttered.
The quarrel between the two bosses in front of the McCann Mission Inn was well known to everyone... And Farouk had one of his arms chopped off by the marshal.
"Humph! Let them come in too!" Hassan said angrily.
Lord Marshal's voice was now rising, and his tone became arrogant without realizing it.
He already doesn't even pay attention to Homulus, let alone Farooq?
Isn't it the lightest punishment to not be able to see the situation clearly, follow the wrong person, and only lose one arm?
"Haha! Congratulations, big brother! Congratulations, big brother! I received an urgent report from Maserai, saying that General Templeton has become the regent of Suriel! This is really in line with the old saying of 'a tiger in a general's door'. It is really shocking. Little brother, I am happy, envious, and hey, a little bit jealous!" The Homulus man's voice had already come in before he arrived.
Immediately, the deputy commander walked in with a happy face, followed closely by Farooq, Wilson and other three people.
"Old fox!" Hassan shouted in his heart.
He looked at the old brother in front of him who had known him for many years, and suddenly had an idea. If the other person could recognize the reality, return to his banner, and do his best to assist the new king, then he might as well let him go.
After all, the struggle for power has achieved results. Next, maintaining stability is the most important thing.
But if Homulus is still unwilling to give in and stubborn, hum! Then don’t blame the eldest brother for not caring about brotherhood!
The marshal thought about it, showed a reserved smile, and said slowly: "I just received the news, but I didn't expect that the queen would hide herself in peace, but she would put such a heavy burden on my boy! Alas! Templeton. Although he can be considered a leader of the younger generation, he is indeed a bit green when it comes to managing a country!"
"Hmm...?!" Homulus quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "This is called bringing out the old and bringing out the new! I think that Templeton's nephew is the one everyone expects. Besides, who hasn't returned from youth? Back then? When Capricorn Tong succeeded to the throne, she was still younger, wasn't she? Moreover, with you as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces sitting here to give guidance, how could it be any worse?!"
Every word of these words touched the Marshal's heart, especially the word "succession", which made Hassan even more happy.
He suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, and said with an expression: "How can I do it alone?! I heard that the old guy Balk also contributed a lot this time. If you are added to it, our iron triangle will work together to assist the new King, can we ensure stability and peace for Suriel!"
Seeing the olive branch offered by his elder brother, Homulus immediately saluted solemnly and said: "As long as the elder brother does not give up, the younger brother will naturally follow you as always!"
After hearing this, the resentment in Faruk's eyes flashed away from the eyes of the deputy commander, but he followed behind his boss and bent down to salute respectfully.
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Hassan laughed loudly and looked at Wilson from the corner of his eye.
The meaning is obvious. My son has now taken control of the political power, and the Suriel military has become a tightrope again. In this land, the person standing in front of you is the boss!
Moreover, after some pleasantries with Homulus, Hassan had further plans.
He wanted to take advantage of Wilson and others' eagerness to enter the Eastern Territory and put pressure on Rus to get McCann's support for the new king of Suriel, or even a peace guarantee.
If this can be accomplished, then Templeton's throne will be completely secure.
As for the price that needs to be paid in order to obtain these promises, the best that Marshal thinks about is to continue to alienate the relationship with Ruhr and maintain a certain military threat.
Wilson tried his best to hold back the contempt in his heart and prevent it from showing.
At this time, he deeply admired his plan for a rainy day. If Homulus had not buried the chess-in-chess move a long time ago, how could he have succeeded with only Hassan's scheming and the city's government?
The real killer move is always the one struck when the enemy relaxes his vigilance.
The old guy has been a marshal for so many years, doesn't he even understand this truth? snort!
There was still a trace of pity in Wilson's eyes unconsciously, and he said calmly: "You two still have a long time to slowly discuss how Su Lier should go in the future! But now, let's resolve the current matter first. Come on. The Zuovia Valley is very close at hand. After passing here, you can reach Zudai in half a day. Marshal, do you have any ideas about what may happen after officially entering the Eastern Territory tomorrow?"
As soon as Wilson said this, Delbora, Philip, and Homulus all showed expressions of concern.
Hassan was very unhappy when he saw that Wilson had no comment on Templeton becoming the regent and was only concerned about the progress in the East.
You don't even have a word of support and you still want to join the army? Pooh! It’s just a daydream!
He smiled slightly and said slowly: "Who said that we will enter the Eastern Region tomorrow? The army has traveled a long distance and the soldiers are exhausted. How can we continue to move forward if we don't take a few days to rest?"
