Chapter 235: The Death of the Holy Light (3) The Soul of the Kingdom Army

Today's recommended song is it's-a-mans-mans-world. There are many versions of this song, and in my personal opinion, in addition to the old original, it should be Christina. Aguilera's version on the Grammys is the most brilliant. Classic soul music, not to be missed-

The scene changed again, this time in ghost mode.

The king and the nobles were having a round table meeting, and Lothar III sat at the very end of the round table, wearing a red robe with a ruffled collar, a three-foot jade sword at his waist, a goose feather pointed hat, and plain floral combat boots. With a smug smile on his face, the young king said, "When we get together, we must all know what we are going to discuss. I just want to get answers from you right now, no need for a reason. Duke Bauhinia is arrogant and arrogant, has no one in his eyes, and must be punished. Since no one has punished him, then this king will do the right thing for heaven, what is your opinion? ”

Blake scoffed, "For the sake of heaven, this king is really ...... I'm not afraid to say big things and flash my tongue. ”

Yang Hai shook his head and said, "The king has been blinded by evil spirits at this moment. ”

Cakuluchia, who was at the helm of an oligarchy, was best able to appreciate the feeling of being in a high place, and when he saw the king's cousin, he commented: "The leader is blind and arrogant, and his subordinates are only echo worms, and such a country is doomed." ”

Kalkuluchia's comments were bloody, and Yang Hai suddenly remembered Carlyle's evaluation of the kingdom of Lakhta, which was self-defeating, and sighed lightly.

The nobles did not know for a moment how to answer the king's answer.

Lothar III was very dissatisfied, and his tone became serious: "Prime Minister, starting with you, what is your opinion?" ”

A flash of melancholy flashed in Prime Minister Moretti's eyes, and he was about to say something, but saw the king's terrible eyes. He lowered his head and said softly: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister seconded it." ”

The king smiled with satisfaction, turned his head and continued the roll call: "Viscount Magda, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Viscount Magda stood up and said loudly with a smile on his face: "A person like Duke Bauhinia, who lives under the protection of the kingdom but cannot see the form clearly, must be taught a lesson, otherwise he will have it as an example." Everyone should despise you! ”

"That's a good point." The young king nodded with satisfaction: "Marshal Lucas, you are the leader of the military department, what do you think?" ”

Marshal Lucas opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said, "The minister seconded it." ”

Yang Hai and the others all followed the king's eyes and saw Marshal Lucas when he was alive. Lucas was ordinary-looking, but heroic, only under the king's questioning. His face was a little ashamed, so he had to lower his head to hide his feelings.

The king looked around at the nobles and saw a man, his eyes narrowed.

"General Faroua. What do you think? ”

The king's gaze fell on a short-haired general at the back of the round table. Yang Hai and the others immediately concentrated their minds, because this General Faroua, who was known as the soul of the kingdom's army, was their NPC thigh in this memory world. The five of them are the sons of the Lynch family in this scene battle, and they are all the personal guards of General Faroua.

General Faroua looked up at the king. Half-squinted eyes and an overgrown beard that looked like it hadn't been repaired for at least a year made him look scruffy and cynical.

"I'm against it." Faroua looked away from the king's gaze and said nonchalantly.

The nobles bowed their heads in horror, and no one dared to look at Rua and the king, who knew that the storm was coming.

The king's face was gloomy, and an astonishing momentum emanated from him. In a low, dangerous tone, the king asked, "Why opposition?" ”

Faroua's courage was also surprisingly great, and he replied without raising his head: "Didn't you just say, you don't need to say the reason, just listen to the opinion?" Why are you so interested in the cause again? ”

"Look into my eyes, why are you hiding!" Lothar III asked in annoyance.

"Ever since Severon was put to death, you have become moody." General Faroua, however, was not at all afraid of the king, and he even began to cross-examine: "Why should I look into your eyes? In case you make an excuse that I look at you directly, disrespect you, and fine my salary, where will I have the money to support my wife and children? I'm not like them, I take other people's money with a clear conscience, and it doesn't matter how I punish them. ”

Yang Hai and the others laughed, thinking that this boss was really a wonderful person.

The king's chest was heaving, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Everyone else agrees, why are you alone? If you don't give a reasonβ€”"

"As long as you don't pay a penalty, you can do whatever you want." Faroua leaned lazily back in his chair and said contemptuously.

"How can it be!" The king was furious, and the prime minister hurriedly said: "Faroua, don't be rude, we are discussing political affairs, this is a solemn occasion-"

"Okay, I'll give you a face." Faroua chuckled at the prime minister and looked at the king: "You are far worse than your father, and no one has ever sued you?" ”

Anger rose in the king's eyes, and the prime minister hurriedly coughed twice and said, "Faroua, tell me your reasons, why are you opposed?" ”

"Why am I saying the reason? It should be up to you to explain the reasons for agreeing. Faroua asked disdainfully: "This is winter, we have not had a bumper harvest this year, and the grain reserves in previous years are not very much, the Bauhinia Principality has elite soldiers, and it has a favorable location, and their capital is a famous dangerous pass, this time the expedition, even if it is fought beautifully, the loss of the soldiers is at least more than thirty percent." Do you want me to tell you such a simple truth at the round table? The king is a fool, he doesn't understand me, but what about you? Don't you all understand? ”

The king forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "If this is the case, why don't they say it?" ”

"The prime minister doesn't say it, because he is entrusted by your father to blindly pamper you, and even if many people die, he will give you the inexplicable evil breath in his heart; Viscount Magda doesn't say it, because his two daughters gave you the day, and he himself is making money every day by virtue of his relationship with the royal family, so he wants to compliment you according to your words. Faroua said contemptuously: "Marshal Lucas does not say. It is because he swore to defend the country, lest he provoke you to lose your position and let the position of marshal of the kingdom fall into the hands of your incompetent cronies; The others don't say it because they are afraid of you, and they are afraid that you, a moody and stupid tyrant, will not know the truth of your advice, and will be angry and punished. As for me, I have neither to pamper you, nor to scorn you, nor to be afraid of angering you, nor to be afraid of you. So I told the truth. ”

The whole round table fell silent, and the king trembled with anger, but could not say a word.

Seeing this, Yang Hai remembered a few words in Evans's teachings: In this world, the most powerful thing is the truth, and a word of truth can make the world tremble. When he was reading before, he didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but looking at the situation in front of him, he suddenly felt. Perhaps the meaning of this sentence is best interpreted in the scene in front of you.

"Faroua, because of disrespect to the royal family, you have been removed from the military department!" Lothar III was furious, got up and said loudly.

"Finally free!" Faroua shook his fist excitedly.

"Your Majesty is not possible!" "Your Majesty thinks twice!" Moretti and Lucas were shocked.

"You two old guys don't have to be persuaded." Faroua laughed: "I'm tired of life in the army, it's time to make my dream come true." ”

"What are your dreams?" Lothar III raised an eyebrow.

"Be a farmer." Faroua blinked.

Lothar III sneered: "This kind of insignificant dream, you can say it? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? Faroua, people like you. is destined to be only a farmer in this life. All great beings zΓ i, all begin with a great dream. ”

"What's so bad about being a farmer, and what's there to laugh at?" Faroua looked at Lothar III with interest: "Then you such a waste. What are the great dreams? ”

"From now on, you are nothing more than an inferior pariah." Lothar III looked at Faroua haughtily, "I will magnanimously forgive you for your offense to me. This king is destined to reign over the world, so why bother to see you like an ant. ”

With a poof, Faroua couldn't help but laugh. He cracked his mouth, laughed silently, shook his head, stopped looking at Lothar III, and left in style.

Yang Hai and the others were dumbfounded-this ...... Director, I got the wrong script! If General Faroua goes back to farming now, will our own soldiers still be furious?

AS A HALF-AMERICAN, EGGPAIN, WHO HAS RECEIVED A CHINESE EDUCATION SINCE CHILDHOOD, CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTER OF FAROUA, HE COMPLAINED: "SINCE THE TIME OF THE GRECO-ROMAN REBEL LEADER, EPIC STORIES LIKE TO SCRIBBLE, THOSE BIG HEROES AND HEROES, EVERYONE'S DREAM IS TO GO HOME AND FARM, ISN'T THIS A CHEAT?" ”

"Isn't it normal to want to be a farmer?" Cakuluchia retorted, "Isn't it strange that Chinese culture is not as you say?" You ancient Chinese emperors, everyone has strange things happening, either winter thunder and summer snow when you were born, or a white fox calling the name at night, or digging out a rag from the belly of the fish, what is written on it Chen Shengwang or something, isn't this much stranger than farming? ”

"But that's the Emperor!" EGGPAIN BLUSHED AND ARGUED: "OF COURSE THE EMPEROR MUST BE DIFFERENT FROM ORDINARY PEOPLE. ”

"Why is the emperor different from ordinary people?" Kakulucia glared: "I'm also one of the most powerful people in the world, do I have one more nose or two eyes?" AT THE BEGINNING, WHEN HE MADE LOW-LEVEL MISTAKES IN THE FIELD, HE DIDN'T LET POSEIDON TRAIN HIM LIKE A GRANDSON. ”

EGGPAIN OPENED HIS MOUTH, WANTING TO SAY THAT KAKULUCHIA WAS UNREASONABLE TO COMPARE HIMSELF TO THE EMPEROR, BUT ON SECOND THOUGHT, THIS GUY DID SEEM TO BE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE EMPEROR......

Yang Hai ended the debate, and Kakulucia was right, in Western culture, although commoners also envy the power of the royal family, no one really thinks that the emperor is more noble than himself. Yang Hai also felt that Faroua's setting of wanting to be a farmer had a lot of slots, but looking at the expressions of Cakulucia, Blake and Visconti without any sense of disobedience, you can see that Westerners still buy this kind of plot very much, and this issue is not worth arguing.

It's just that Yang Hai was very curious, and looked at General Ruya's expression, which was really desperate, but in the first scene, they were recruited at the most urgent time of the war, and they were recruited as General Faroua's own soldiers, which means that this kingdom military spirit still did not leave after all.

What happened in between? (To be continued......)
