If an outsider knows Lieutenant General Luo Ning's attitude towards the Yanlong Legion now, he will definitely scoff at it, and even laugh at Lieutenant General Luo Ning, thinking that Lieutenant General Luo Ning must be so timid because he is old, so he doesn't have the domineering spirit he had many years ago.

And Lieutenant General Luo Ning knew that if he told others what he was thinking now, others would definitely underestimate him and misunderstand him, so Lieutenant General Luo Ning never talked about himself and discussed with others about the strength of the Yanlong Legion.

But just because you don't talk about it doesn't mean you don't have to think about it. Lieutenant General Luo Ning, as the supreme commander of the Yanlong Legion this time, the burden on his shoulders now is not ordinarily heavy.

First of all, Lieutenant General Luo Ning has to consider the issue of military salary, once the war is delayed for too long, then how to solve the problem of military salary in the Tianlan Empire after that.

Another problem is that although the area of the southern Sayi Empire cannot be compared with the current Tianlan Empire, after all, the entire southern Sayin territory includes the territories of the five provinces. Once the war starts, where should the focus of the attack of the Tianlan Empire's army be.

In addition, there are many unexpected problems plaguing Lieutenant General Ronin. And after Lieutenant General Luo Ning saw the current appearance of Commander Kane, he also knew that these things could not be counted on this old friend who had begun to degenerate. So in desperation, Lieutenant General Luo Ning had no choice but to put all the burden on himself.

Suddenly, there was a lot more gray hair on Lieutenant General Luo Ning's head. Many people have forgotten that Lieutenant General Luo Ning, as the supreme commander of the empire, had led the expeditionary army of the Tianlan Empire as early as twenty years ago and defeated the Say Empire. People think that this veteran general with outstanding military achievements not only has an impressive record, but also has a good strength. The strength of the fivefold pinnacle, even if it is placed in the cultivation world of the mainland, can be regarded as a leader.

So people ignore a problem, that is, no matter how good Lieutenant General Luo Ning is, he is now an old man over seventy years old. Don't look at Lieutenant General Luo Ning in front of people, he always looks high-spirited and does not lose to those young officers beside him. But in fact, as a human being, at Lieutenant General Luo Ning's current age, his bodily functions have begun to decay beyond his control.

is such an old man who should have been living for a long time, but now he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of conquering the Yanlong Legion again. Although this is the importance that the Tianlan Empire attaches to this veteran, from another aspect, it can also be seen that there is a problem, that is, the military of the Tianlan Empire is facing the embarrassing situation of having no successor.

You must know that Lieutenant General Luo Ning was already the commander of the Central Army when he was forty years old. But on the other hand, looking at the current army of the Tianlan Empire, those generals who are around forty years old are either mediocre in strength or mediocre in intelligence, and there is no one who can take on great responsibilities. And those who are older have lost the value of training.

Considering the total factors, the task of this expedition fell on Lieutenant General Luo Ning again.

At this time, the veteran general, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, was staring at the battle map with a serious face, thinking hard about how to solve the battle quickly.

I saw that Lieutenant General Luo Ning had been staring at the combat map since he entered the war hall, and even if he occasionally raised his head and said a few words, he always looked in a trance. Seeing this situation, Captain Kane, who originally looked at ease, also had to look serious, and said to Lieutenant General Luo Ning: "Old man, why do you always frown, as if someone owes you 10,000 gold coins. Why are you worried, is it because of this conquest of the Yanlong Legion? ”

Hearing Captain Kane's question, Lieutenant General Luo Ning woke up from his contemplation again, looking at Captain Kane's serious appearance, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally put down the long whip in his hand, and stared at Captain Kane for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Kane, if you say something that shouldn't be said, shouldn't you be more restrained." If you continue to let it go like this, the prestige that you have accumulated with great difficulty in the early years will sooner or later be ruined by yourself. Alas, you ask me what I'm worried about, as the deputy commander of this expeditionary force, can't you see what I'm worried about? ”

Originally, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also thought about persuading after seeing the change in the commander of the Kane Army, but because of the relationship and identity between the two, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also put away this idea. But when Commander Kane repeatedly showed ignorance, Lieutenant General Ronin finally couldn't stand it. Even if he didn't mention the status of his superiors and subordinates, just looking at the friendship between the two for nearly fifty years, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't hold back and bluntly criticized Kane.

After seeing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's fierce expression, Legion Commander Kane was immediately stunned. Obviously, Commander Kane didn't expect that he was just an ordinary question, but it caused so many complaints from Lieutenant General Ronin. Not only did he not get the answer to his question, but he was counted down by Lieutenant General Luo Ning.

Faced with this situation, Legion Commander Kane smiled bitterly, first pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while, and when he was sure that no one around could be listening, Legion Commander Kane lowered his voice and said to Lieutenant General Luo Ning mysteriously: "Old man, I know that what you said is for my good. I, Kane, am not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, but I can still tell the difference. If nothing else, just with the current identity of you and me, you can not be afraid of offending me, and say such a thing bitterly, I know that you are a friend, and I Kane have not made a mistake. Yes, after so many years, my body has become rich, my strength has declined, and even my prestige in the army has long since disappeared. But you know, the more this happens, the more I feel at ease. ”

Although Commander Kane's voice was very low when he spoke, the sincerity in his tone made Lieutenant General Luo Ning believe that his old friend had no hypocrisy when he said this.

But it was because of this that Lieutenant General Luo Ning was even more confused. What happened to this old friend of his, could it be that he became the way he is now, all on his own intention? But this doesn't make sense at all, he doesn't cherish the great future, but he deliberately ruined his reputation, what's the point of doing this.

Driven by curiosity, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also lowered his voice and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by this, do you have any hardships that make you have to self-destruct your image and make such a sacrifice?" ”

Hearing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's question, Legion Commander Kane smiled bitterly again, and after laughing, Legion Commander Kane said lightly: "Luo Ning, among those old brothers back then, you were the most suitable to be a general." When it comes to marching battles, none of our old brothers are your opponents. But when it comes to intrigue, figuring out the minds of those in charge, you are not as good as a few of us. Luo Ning, let me ask you, as the commander-in-chief of the army, what is the most important concern. ”

"This, naturally, is concerned about how to train the troops well, and how to defend the country when the empire needs it. What's wrong, why are you asking this? Although he didn't understand Commander Kane's question, Lieutenant General Luo Ning thought for a moment and still said what was in his heart.

But after hearing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's righteous words, Commander Kane not only did not praise Lieutenant General Luo Ning, but let out a sneer, and then Commander Kane said again: "Hehe, say you are stupid, you can really be stupid to show me." Your idea is good, but it's a fatal wound. Yes, as commanders-in-chief, we naturally need to establish prestige in the army, so that all the soldiers in the army are brave and good at fighting, so that they can stand up when the empire needs it. But there is a problem that you have overlooked, that is, old guys like us, who have been in the army for most of their lives, although they have outstanding military achievements and extremely high prestige. But at the same time, it is precisely because of our incomparable prestige in the army that it is enough to make the superiors feel guilty. His Old Majesty has abdicated, and now Emperor Kevin the Great has just ascended the throne. If you think about it carefully, when Xinjun first came to power, what was his biggest concern. ”

"What is it? It should be to think about how to make the empire develop better. After listening to Commander Kane's words, Lieutenant General Ronin said indifferently.

After listening to Lieutenant General Ronin's statement, Commander Kane sneered again. "Hehe, you're thinking it's simple. Let me tell you, the new monarch has just ascended the throne, and his biggest concern is not outside, but at home. Let's put it bluntly, his biggest concern is whether we, the old ministers of the Empire, will be loyal to his new monarch. If we are against it, it will not be difficult to do this with our prestige in the military. So, at such times, the most important thing we should do is to be confused. How can we make that kid Kevin less wary of us, let's do it. You say, I'm not right to think so? ”

"This ...... It's complicated. How could this be, how could we have had different intentions after so many years of loyal conquest and war for the empire. Kane, are you overthinking? Hearing Commander Kane's concern, Lieutenant General Ronin still asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, I don't feel like I'm too careful. Don't look at the fact that Emperor Kevin hasn't made any cold moves against us now, but that's because he needs us to help him take charge of the overall situation. Once the turmoil of the Yanlong Legion has passed, it should be time for him to make a move. Seeing that Lieutenant General Luo Ning was still obsessed, Captain Kane said with a very ironclad expression.

After saying that, Captain Kane stopped talking. Of course, now there are only Luo Ning and him in the house, and he doesn't put on that idiot anymore.

And Ronin, because of the words of Captain Kane, fell into his contemplation. Although Captain Kane's words are a bit alarmist, if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable.

Whenever there is a change of power in the empire, it is not uncommon for the new monarch to eliminate some old ministers and arrange some of his henchmen, and it has basically become a tradition. Now his status in the army of the Tianlan Empire is actually even higher than that of the king of the Tianlan Empire. In this case, no monarch wants to see it.

Therefore, as Captain Kane said, once the turmoil in the Yanlong Legion has stopped, maybe Emperor Kevin will really do something to these old guys with outstanding military achievements. After all, if the military power of an empire falls into the hands of one person for a long time, it will always make the monarch worried.

After thinking about this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning sighed heavily, and then said helplessly: "Alas, this is also a matter of no way. Things have come to this point, and it's too late for us to remedy it. Now that that's the case, don't think about what will happen in the future. What we need to do now is to think about how to fight this last battle for the Empire. After all, no matter how Emperor Kevin the Great will deal with our problems after the war, at least the Tianlan Empire is still our motherland, and as the commander of the legion, I will never be able to watch the empire lose the battle. ”

I saw that my old friend was only confused for a while after listening to his advice, but he immediately became normal again. Just with Ronin's mentality, it is enough to make Kane admire.

After also sighing heavily, Captain Kane walked up to Lieutenant General Ronin and patted his old friend on the shoulder, Kane said firmly: "Okay, how many storms and waves our brothers have broken through, this time we will fight side by side for the last time." I just hope that after this conquest is over, what the Empire can do will not be too ruthless. At the very least, leave us a life. ”

Hearing the words of Commander Kane, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help frowning and said, "Kane, you are really a bit alarmist. Even if Emperor Kevin had concerns about us, he would definitely not do such a ruthless thing. If they want to take away our military power, we will hand it over, how can they kill us completely? ”

"Hehe, Luo Ning, the art of the emperor is never something that we courtiers can speculate. Everything they can't control, they'll do anything to destroy. Isn't the boy named Li Yi a good example? Back then, but you personally sent him into that mortal situation. And you, who have always loved talents, made such abnormal behaviors, who instructed you, you won't forget it. Looking at Lieutenant General Luo Ning with a complicated expression, Captain Kane said faintly.

When Luo Ning heard Captain Kane's words, the relaxed expression that had always been on his face finally changed, and it was replaced by a very complicated look.

looked at Kane with an abnormal expression for a long time, and Lieutenant General Luo Ning was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Kane, in fact, to be honest, that incident back then is the one thing I regret the most in my life. In good conscience, from the bottom of my heart, I am also haunted by His Majesty's decision. Although Li Yi's kid seems to be deviant, if our Tianlan Empire really wants to keep Li Yi, Li Yi's kid doesn't necessarily have to go against us. At the very least, I feel that if it weren't for what happened back then, Li Yi wouldn't be like this, blatantly supporting the Yanlong Legion against our Tianlan Empire. ”

"Hehe, it's been so many years, what are you still talking about. When I talk about Li Yi, I just want to give you an example, no matter how much Li Yi was wronged back then, but since he chose to leave the Tianlan Empire, and now he is clearly on the opposite side of us. That proves that he wants to be on a par with us, so you don't have to blame yourself too much. I mention him just to remind you that the old majesty of the year was just because of some subjective thoughts, he was able to ruthlessly push a promising young man into the fire pit. Now that we all have the power in our hands that is enough to subvert the power of the Tianlan Empire, do you say that their father and son will still be merciful to us. Looking at Luo Ning with a wry smile, Captain Kane said helplessly.
