Chapter 684
Along with the heavy door pivot sound, the Imperial Family guard who was guarding the door slowly closed the door.
There are only two lone silhouettes left in the empty Imperial Cabinet, sitting at one end and one end of the long table, looking at each other at the other end of the table.
Brandon looked around on the chair, his eyes turned constantly, pretending to be relaxed and humming a small tune, pressing down the tension and anxiety in his heart, trying to calm his breathing.
Even after so long, Brandon, who was in the same room with father again, is still walking on thin ice, not daring to indulge in the slightest; the inexplicable pressure even surpassed the first time he was with the giant When the dragon Mirassis met.
Being swallowed by a giant dragon is just a moment’s pain, being watched by Eckhart Desalion...you will feel naked, thoroughly deprived of the secrets of your heart to the last trace of dignity .
Like a fish on a chopping board, it can be slaughtered.
Just sitting in this room, sitting ten steps away from father, Brandon can feel the bone-chilling chill and the strong smell of blood.
"Your judgment on Loren Torino is very accurate. He is really good at bringing surprises to us."
The heavy voice sounded, and Eckhardt II stared at himself The youngest son: "If it weren't for him, perhaps Gaspar could really take the Torino family completely-at least for us to get more chips to negotiate with the 13 leaders of Byrne."
" In this way, we will have time to mobilize the forces of Duchy throughout the South, completely resolve the war with the Centaur, and reproduce the second life'great conquest' of Eckhardt I, and now..."
Eckhart nodded, his sharp eyes gave Brandon the illusion of suffocation; he could only look at the table and listen quietly.
"As you said, the entire Celestial Vault discussing sanctions against Byrne is just arguing about an impossible thing-we need them, we don’t have a choice, it’s that simple ."
"I guess...you must regret it now?" took a deep breath, Brandon tried his best to show a relaxed smile: "If it weren't for the original agreement with me, maybe you still have a chance Completely wipe out the evil of Loren Torino."
"Regret?"
Eckhardt II’s face does not have any emotion:
"Let I will make up this lesson for you, Brandon, the most important lesson as a Desalion." Eckhardt II’s voice is extremely harsh:
"Just never think about it. If it could do, how would it happen at the beginning!"
Brandon was slightly surprised, but still managed to squeeze a smile: "Really? But just father, you still said, "If" there is no Loren · Torino , Maybe we can still reproduce the great conquest of the second life generation, how to barabara..."
Before he finished speaking, Eckhardt II suddenly laughed.
The sneer lasted for several seconds, making Brandon's heart numb, have one's hair stand on end.
Scarlet's pupils exude a substantive majesty, looking at another Desalion who has the same red pupils as him, without a trace of emotion:
"Connold...he wouldn't say such things; even if he has the same thoughts as you, he will hide this thought in his heart instead of saying it in person."
" No reward, extremely risky speculative behavior, you can get nothing except for a momentary addiction, and it will also cause the other person to feel bad...Your brother will never take such a risk."
" And I will never be someone like my elder brother... I’m Brandon Desalion." Brace oneself, Brandon shrugged self-deprecatingly:
"Be cautious and look at other people’s eyes. Stay alive and plan for risks and rewards...that’s not me. I will never follow anyone’s will and look at anyone’s eyes."
"More importantly, what else can I lose? "" Brandon’s voice never lacks self-deprecation:
"Father’s favor? My sister’s eyes? The nobles’ trust? The ministers’ support? The vassals and their own territories?"
>
"Look, I am a genuine prince of beggar; a person who has nothing, never afraid of losing anything!"
Eckhardt frowned slightly, showing a meaningful expression :
"Even after the person you trust the most abandoned you and snatched Byrne Duchy from you?"
"On the contrary, I think he is now It’s even cuter." His Royal Highness showed a childlike smile on his face: "The Loren Torino of the past is like...how should I describe it...like a holy saint, not at all. People like it."
"You know he will help you sincerely, you know he won’t let you down, but you don’t know what he wants, but he knows what you want What...This feeling is very uncomfortable."
"As for Byrne Duchy...yes, the governor system is completely bankrupt, but it does not mean that the situation is completely irretrievable; at least Loren Torino ruled. Byrne is still willing to show friendship to the empire; and a duke who has no territory wants to write about his position, he will need a lot of support from the Vault of Heaven."
"This is what we really are. Advantage is also the best situation my dear wizard advisor has won for the empire!"
Eckhardt II did not interrupt him and listened quietly.
"Even this Centaur war is far from irreversible." Brandon shrugged: "It is true that without the expansion of the army, we can't get Legion support right now, but The empire’s trump card will never be just the elite'black city wall'."
"Even now, we can still recruit archers, light cavalry and light infantry from Eilemand and Lothar. Eboden transferred Legion back, hiring two to three thousand mercenaries, plus half of the guard Legion, marching towards Boe in the name of the empire."
"Such a ten-twenty thousand People’s “hybrid Legion”...the great conquest is certainly not enough, but it’s enough to save the face of the empire."
"If this is the case, the Imperial Cabinet can’t agree, I think it’s too expensive..." Brandon spreads Hands: "We always have a giant dragon. When the dragon spreads its wings, I believe the centaur will remember how miserable the ancestors of hundreds of years ago were."
The cabinet echoed, and Eckhart suddenly showed a meaningful look:
"You want real power...to end this Centaur war?"
"Of course!"
Brandon didn’t mean to conceal it at all. He was nodded "of course": "Of course I think, but this is simply impossible, right? You won’t hand over the command of the guard Legion to me, the cabinet. And the House will not agree."
"Even if I were to go, at most it would be the same as Eboden's time-I came quietly, walked quietly, waved my sleeves, and said nothing. It’s just..."
"Why?" Eckhardt interrupted him suddenly.
"Uh?"
"Why impossible?" The Supreme Emperor looked at him intently, with sharp eyes:
"Yes, I'm impossible to guard the guard Leave it to you, Legion; but the three Legions guarding Jufeng Mountain are almost on their turn. I can give you their command to quell the Centaur War."
"Really?! "
Brandon was a shivered and stood directly on the long table:
"You, are you lying to me?!"
"Are you not yet It's worth it for me to do this, Brandon De Salion." Eckhart II's eyes became sharp again: "In this world, there is no one worthy of me to deceive."
Enduring the impulse and desire to refute again, Brandon obediently jumped off the table and sat back on the chair, trying to calm down the heartbeat in his chest that was about to break through, and a huge ugly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I guess...it's not without a price, right?"
"Of course, you have to prove that you are worthy if you want to get...loyalty is true, and so is power." His Majesty said solemnly: "You have to use your performance to win this rare opportunity."
"How... to win?"
In Brandon’s extremely nervous heartbeat, Eckhart The eyes of the second king became profound again:
"I remember, you are confident in your chess skills?"
"Uh, right?"
"Very good, then we will take three months." I saw His Majesty the Emperor raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers: "Within three months, if you win me, I will give you this opportunity."
"Otherwise...I will lead personally bringing troops into battle and flatten the green sea!"
