“HMM… the taste of this noodle is really wonderful, Rox!”In the Courier Station, in Marshal Rox’s exclusive room, no one expected that the king who should be sitting firmly in the imperial capital, Garvin, would appear here.
Rox, who was at the side, smiled slightly, while the two generals, who were played by the players, had strange expressions on their faces.
“Forget about the delicious taste. The key is that the composition is too simple. A piece of bread, a few packets of sauce, and a little hot water can form such a delicious taste. The inventor of this is really an amazing gourmet!”Garvin finished the last bit of the noodle soup, he took a long breath. “The inventor of this thing has the surname of Kang? HMM… “…”. What a simple and short surname. How about this, I will ask the quartermaster to talk to him. As long as he is willing to give his skills to the military, I will give him a noble surname!”
“Your Highness is really merciful!”Old Rox bowed and said.
The two players behind him rolled their eyes when they heard that. Merciful? Changing someone’s surname and you want to take my top-notch pasta skills over? ‘as expected of an imperial civilization, it’s much darker than our official system!’!
“I really want to eat another bowl…”Gavin smiled.
“Then, shall I make another bowl for Your Highness?”
“No…”Gavin waved his hand. “Let’s get down to business…”
Rox nodded when he heard that.
“I never doubted that teacher could win this battle, but I didn’t expect the price to be so heavy…”Gavin sighed slightly. “Even the daybreak sword and Master Megan didn’t come back…”
Rox knelt on one knee and said seriously, “It was my mistake to misestimate the battle strength of the place. I’m willing to take full responsibility!”
“How can you blame me?”The emperor quickly helped him up and sighed, “How many years has it been since we fought with the south? This is the lack of information. I Can’t blame you entirely!”
Rox trembled when he heard that, and a bitter smile flashed in his eyes. I can’t be entirely blamed. Obviously, this sentence has already indicated the intention of his disciple…
As expected… ! He had guessed correctly along the way, but he hadn’t expected him to be so anxious. Even before his own people had arrived at the imperial capital, he had already wanted to take back his military authority!
Since ancient times, emperors had been ruthless. Rox, who had served three generations of emperors, was well aware of this principle. Every Emperor had relied on him and trusted him from the start until they became fearful of him and even took back their authority step by step, he was already used to it, but to be honest, this generation of emperors was the one he was most worried about handing over power to!
Jiawen seemed to be a warrior, but in reality, his talent was mediocre. However, he himself could not recognize this reality and always thought that he was the one who hindered his performance…
To be honest, he was not as good as some emperors who relied on mage clans. Although such emperors did not have any ambition, they were at least more than capable of defending the city. However, Jiawen this guy… …
Rox Sighed in his heart. He had a bad premonition in his heart…
However, the current situation made it difficult for him to continue staying in this position. To be honest, he did not think that the losses this time would be so huge. Even if he managed to recover Molundo, his reputation would definitely drop to the freezing point. If he were to hand over power now, perhaps in the history of the Empire, there would still be a decent way for him to write. If he did not hand it over… …
If he did not hand it over, how many people would support him?
Rox thought to himself. The two generals behind him were his old buddies who had followed him for many years. However, these days, they had been avoiding him. Even when the Emperor had said those words, they had not opened their mouths, they were clearly dissatisfied with him, right?
Even they were like this, not to mention the new generation of generals and Mage Clans… …
Looks like the tide has turned…
Seeing that the two generals behind him didn’t object to his words, Jiawen was delighted. He thought to himself, ‘as expected, Old Rox’s reputation is really lost this time. Even these two old generals who have followed him for many years have this attitude…’ ‘looks like this old guy won’t be able to refuse to hand over power in the future.’.
He originally wanted to beat these two old generals into the cold palace, but now it seemed that these two guys weren’t unapproachable…
Thinking of this, Garvin smiled at the two generals behind him as he helped rox up, “It’s been hard on you this time…”
“AH… It’s not hard at all!”The two Green Titan players who played the role of generals did not understand the twists and turns in these two guys’hearts. They only wanted to see if the two of them could hurry up and finish up. They still had to go out to eat meat… …
“Your Highness, this old man is incompetent. This time, the Empire has suffered a great loss. I have really let down your trust. Please take back the Empire’s commander seal and choose another virtuous person…”
“Teacher, what are you saying?”Seeing that the other party was actually so tactful and was prepared to hand over the commander seal so easily, a trace of wild joy flashed across the Emperor’s eyes. However, he still suppressed his excitement and said politely, “The Empire still needs your support!”
“Old… indeed, I can’t do it anymore…”Old Rox smiled bitterly and said, “I can’t compare to some sharp young people. This time, when I met that tribal chief of the Gale tribe, this old man finally understood that this person has no choice but to accept his old age…”
Hearing Old Rox praise a tribal chief like this, Jiawen’s eyes revealed a trace of disapproval, he sneered and said, “This king has seen the battle report. This time, that Wolf child tribal chief was lucky and let him escape. Next time, this king will personally tear him into ten thousand pieces to take revenge for seizing the Earth!”
You?
Old Rox secretly rolled his eyes. It would be pretty good if he didn’t chop off your head!
In this battle, his greatest regret was that he wasn’t able to get rid of the Gale Division’s Hotell. In his opinion, this person’s threat was probably even greater than the northern Warhammer family’s leader. With time, he would definitely grow into a legend, in addition to this decisive and wise military talent, he was truly worried about the future of the Empire!
Especially when such a fellow was in power…
Old Rox looked at the fluttering Jiawen and sighed in his heart. Logically speaking, with such a huge loss, as an emperor, even if he was just putting on an act, he should still have a pained expression on his face. However, when this fellow heard that he could take back his power.., he had long forgotten about these things.
Perhaps to him, this battle result was the most perfect one?
Not only had he recovered Molendon and stabilized the rear, but he had also weakened his own forces, allowing the military power to be completely returned to his hands…
“This old man has the audacity to request to become the Chief Officer of the Knight Academy selection this time.”The more Rox thought about it, the more he could not see the future of the Empire. He decided to place his hopes on the next generation, so he took the opportunity to request.
Hearing this, Gavin was stunned for a moment, and his heart became slightly vigilant. This fellow’s support for the old general had been depleted. Did he want to go to the birthplace of knights to cultivate his new forces?
Looking at the other party’s vigilant look, Old Rox sighed slightly, he said in a low voice, “This old man doesn’t have much time left. I Can’t waste this skill, right? This old man wants to find a few young people with good qualifications to pass down the skill. This time, because of this old man’s mistake in decision-making, the Empire lost so many generals. For the rest of my life, this old man wants to compensate a little bit by little…”. “…”
“Teacher plans to take in disciples from outside?”Jiawen was slightly taken aback. As the emperor’s teacher of two generations, Jiawen was very clear about his ability to teach. His legendary strength father.., as well as his brothers and sisters, including himself, were all taught by the other party. If he could nurture a few more generals for the Empire before his death, it would indeed not be a bad thing.
He thought to himself that his teacher was already so old. Even if he had the strength of a legend, he would definitely not be able to live for long. By the time he nurtured a true general, it would be at least thirty years later. At that time, whether he was still around or not would be the same thing, even if he was around, he was already on the verge of death. With his own talent, could he not suppress such an old man. Thinking of this, the wariness in Jiawen’s eyes slowly faded away…
“The Empire has suffered a great loss this time. This old man has come all the way here and discovered that the number of students provided by the south is getting worse with each generation. In the long run, we might face a crisis where the strength of the higher-ups will be cut off. This old man wants to take advantage of the few decades that we can still move and try to nurture as little as possible.”
“Alright, since it is teacher’s wish, I will allow it. The south is indeed too extravagant now and needs to be cleaned up. How about this, teacher, write a detailed plan for me. When I return, I will immediately convene a meeting to discuss this matter. What do you think?”
“Your Majesty is Wise!”Old Rox heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, I have finally obtained some things. I only hope that this fellow will not destroy all the things left behind by the older generation before the new generation grows up.
Thinking of this, although he felt that it was extremely unreliable, he still handed over the handsome seal with a trembling hand in the end… …
