Chapter 45 The Priest General Vulture

After enjoying a sumptuous but not lavish dinner, Kadir went to bed in the temple. However, the environment inside the temple was certainly luxurious and unimaginable to the common people, but it was far from the royal palace of Kadir, and Kadir felt uncomfortable living here, and there were no female officials to sleep here, and he had no intention of sleeping after taking a bath, so Kadir looked for books on the shelves to relieve his boredom. Unfortunately, it was full of theological books, and Kadir searched for a long time and didn't have a single one he wanted to read, so he had to take a random copy and flip through it.

After reading a few pages, a wave of tiredness swept over, Kadir let out a long yawn, and was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside, Kadir suddenly woke up and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"Tell Your Majesty, High Priest Figol asks to see you." The guard replied softly.

Kadir ordered him to invite Figor in, but in his heart he was thinking about the purpose of Figor's trip, and he had promised the priests great benefits during the day today, and Figor gladly accepted it, what was the purpose of his visit at this moment?

While he was thinking, the guard had already led Figol into the bedroom. Figor's attire made Kadir even more puzzled, he was wearing a gray-black linen robe, which was completely inconsistent with the status of the high priest, and he obviously did not want more people to know about his trip. Immediately, he invited Figor to sit down, then handed over a glass of ale, and said with a smile: "Lord Figor is visiting late at night, so there must be something important to discuss with the widow, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise and wise, and you really have important things to discuss when you come this time." Figol didn't drink the wine, just replied lightly.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"Since we have promised Your Majesty to send troops to help, I would like to ask Your Majesty in the future. Who should command these priestly armies? ”

Kadir looked at Figor's yin and yang strange face, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The priests and generals of the priest army are all excellent. However, from the eyes of the widow, General Vultures seems to be an excellent talent. ”

Figol chuckled, "Your Majesty Shengming." I also feel that it is most suitable for General Vultures to lead the troops. ”

Kadir was silent and watched what Figol could say. I saw Figor stop laughing and said: "It's a pity that the priest general is not the only one who is Vulture, and the last person to lead the troops is not necessarily General Vulture." ”

Only then did Kadir realize that the purpose of Figor's trip was to hope that he would reach an agreement with him on the issue of selecting generals, so that Vulture had become his subordinate, and if Vulture made military achievements, Figor's position would naturally be strengthened, in that case. After Barnadus retreated, he was able to surpass Ankadirmo and become the chief high priest. Figol is indeed a man of scheming as rumored, and if he is made the chief high priest, he may want to take this opportunity to reach out to his court affairs. Thinking of this, Kadir coughed dryly and said, "That's true, I heard that the priests and generals of the priest army are all excellent, and Lord Banadus may have a better candidate." ”

Figol hurriedly said, "No, Your Majesty. Vultures is the best general, and if anyone else is in command of the priest army, they will not be able to exert the power of the priest army. This is not good for His Majesty's crusade against the thief army. ”

Seeing Figor's expression, Kadir became more and more sure of his judgment, and said, "How can you see it?" As far as the widow knows. Vultures was not the most prestigious general in the priestly army, and his martial arts were ??????."

Figol shook his head and said, "If Vulture is about martial arts prestige. Naturally, there are generals who surpass him, but when it comes to his commanding ability. No one else can do it. ”

"However, the widow is afraid that General Vulture has already established considerable merit and prestige in the last battle against Arubania, and if he is appointed as commander again, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among his colleagues, and Lord Banadus will probably have reservations in order to appease the anger of the people."

Figor said: "That's why you need your Majesty's advice, so that Barnadus can choose the general of Vulture." ”

"Oh? So, Lord Barnadus also likes General Vultures? ”

"Exactly, Lord Barnadus is only hesitant because of Ankadirmo's hindrance, and it would be much easier if His Majesty had suggested it."

"It's strange, if General Vulture's abilities are obvious to all, why did Lord Ankadirmo intervene to stand in the way?"

Figor snorted coldly and said, "That's because General Vulture is a commoner, and his views on serving the god of Ra are different from Ankadirmo, Your Majesty, you also know how stubborn Ankadirmo is, and his dislike for Vultures has nothing to do with Vulture's ability." ”

Joke, Ankadirmo's reason for opposing the Vultures is probably because he is afraid of your head. A sneer welled in Kadir's heart.

Seeing that Kadir was silent, Figol said: "If General Vulture is able to lead the army because of His Majesty's suggestion, then he must be grateful to His Majesty, and I guess Your Majesty also hopes that such a general can be used by Your Majesty, right?" ”

Kadir nodded slightly, thinking to himself: I'm afraid that it is you who are grateful to Vulture, so that you can hopefully use Vultures to control the military power of the priest army and become your biggest bargaining chip. But a man with a strong thirst for power like Figol is at least much easier to grasp than a man like Ankadirmo who is completely immersed in the world of God, and if he succeeds the chief priest, he will certainly be a headache, but it is still to be expected, and he will compromise if the conditions are right; If someone like Ankadirmo were in power, the game with the priests would be completely non-negotiable. Thinking of this, Kadir smiled and said, "The meaning of Lord Barnadus and Lord Figor has already been understood. Tomorrow the widow will definitely suggest to Lord Barnadus that the army be led by General Vulture, and besides, the widow feels that a shrewd and capable man like Lord Figor really deserves more authority. ”

"Your Majesty, you are laughing, and you are panicking." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Figor not only agreed to his request, but also promised the position of chief high priest, which was a real surprise, and immediately drank the ale and hurriedly retired.

Kadir was able to sleep soundly for the night. Early the next morning, Kadir received two pieces of news, the first of which was that Viscount Libera had returned to the capital, awaiting the arrival of His Majesty. Kadir didn't mean to punish him on this point, but in order to keep everyone's mouths shut, I'm afraid he had to hide Libera for a while.

Another piece of news that surprised Kadir was that Tulayan had been released by the Dils bandits. (To be continued......)
