Chapter 498 [Politician]

Chapter 498 [Politician]

"You really think this is wise?"

Ruhr looked at Adrick with a look of almost despair, with deep helplessness in his eyes.

There were only two people in the room, so Ruhr spoke without any concealment in his tone of questioning.

Adrick stood there quietly, facing the wall - on the wall was a huge map with countless military symbols marked on it. He stood there with his hands behind his back, as if he was judging by the fat man, and he had no intention of responding to the fat man's question.

"Adric!" Ruhr was a little anxious and strided around Adric, staring at his face, his eyes full of haze.

"Ruer." Adrick sighed, with a very reluctant smile on his face: "I happen to have a plan. I plan to hand over the Eastern Front troops to Butler, but to be honest, when Butler fights, sometimes he doesn't like to use his brain. I need a guy who can stay awake at critical moments to sit on the Eastern Front, and this candidate must be able to suppress Butler and make that guy obey willingly. So I thought of you... You must know that in our counterattack plan, once my main force starts counterattack, the Eastern Front troops will be under tremendous pressure... so I want to invite you..."

"Okay! Don't tell me any hell of a counterattack plan!" Ruhr almost roared at Adrick in anger. He was too excited and almost spit on the scar on Adrick's face: "Don't let me hang on these! You know what I want to say! Adrick! You're killing yourself again! Do you understand?! You're destroying yourself step by step!! I can't just watch you do these stupid things!!"

"It's not as bad as you said." Adrick smiled relaxedly.

"Not that bad?!" The fat man screamed and stared at Adrick's eyes: "You said it was not that bad! Hell! You ran to the palace to quarrel with the emperor, being domineering, making the little emperor almost scared to death by you! Then he insisted on his own, regardless of the emperor's wishes... Adrick, you are not the kind of brainless person! You are not the kind of ambitious guy! I know you! Others say you are a domineering general, but I know that you are a guy who is loyal to the empire than anyone else... Why do you do this! Why do you do this kind of thing that angers the emperor?!"

"I……"

Adrick was about to explain, and Rule was already angry and said, "Shut up! I know what you want to do! Hell! Adrick, if you really have... If you really have further thoughts, then Rule will stand by you and support you without hesitation! If you want to be a powerful minister, then I will applaud you! This empire needs a real powerful person to lead it! If you are willing to be that person, I will only agree! But, but you are not! Damn it! I know you guys too much! You don't have that kind of mind, why do you deliberately make such a domineering and arrogant attitude in the palace?!"

Adrick smiled bitterly: "You question me, I want to explain, you told me to shut up, do you want me to say it or not?"

"Don't think I don't know what you think!" The fat man gritted his teeth: "Minas is also my teacher! Even if you want to help him make a comeback, using this method to anger the emperor is simply the stupidest way!"

"But it is indeed very effective, isn't it?" Adrick smiled faintly: "Your Majesty's order is faster and more efficient this time than any other time. The Duke's appointment has come down, and I didn't even expect it to be so fast."

Ruer suddenly felt aroused in his heart and looked at Adrick suspiciously: "... Has anyone ever told you something? With your character, you wouldn't suddenly think of such intense and extreme methods! Someone must have given you such a dizzy idea! Tell me, who is it! I chopped that bastard!!"

Adrick took a deep breath and looked at Ruhr. His tone was very serious and serious: "Ruhr! Please remember your identity! We are soldiers, soldiers who defend this country! I don't have the kind of thought you said! I just want to revive this empire, I just want everything to improve now. Everything I do has my own considerations, as long as it is correct! No one wants me to do this, I am willing to do it. You should understand that with my temper, no one can force me to do it if it is something I refuse to do."

"But you are like this..."

"Is it suicide, is it burying the root of disaster for myself?" Adrick smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is suspicious of me, Your Majesty hates me, this is destined from the beginning. Even if I don't do this, do you think Your Majesty will eliminate all misunderstandings with me? No, Ruhr! As long as I am still in the army for a day, Your Majesty's hatred for me will not be eliminated. He is the king and I am the minister, and this identity is destined, unless I am willing to hand over all power, otherwise..."

"But Duke Minas's comeback will be beneficial to the situation?" Ruhr swallowed, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Our teacher..."

"Shut up! I don't want to hear any disrespectful words from your mouth." Adrick said coldly: "The teacher is respected, has high qualifications and a strong prestige in the military. This is the case with the national crisis. It is precisely because the military veterans like him need to come forward to intimidate the whole world and rectify the overall situation! He is willing to come back, but I can only welcome him with both hands and will never have any other ideas."

"But in the future, will the army listen to you or the teacher?" Ruer shook his head.

"If you are right, you will listen to whoever you are right." Adrick said firmly: "National affairs are not a joke! The teacher has been fighting all his life, and I believe in his wisdom and ability. With him coming forward, many things will be much easier."

"Adric, you're naive!"

Ruhr was almost like a ***. Looking at the pillar of the empire in front of him, the fat man suddenly felt like crying.

"Naughty! You are always like this! Nature that never repents! What do you think our teacher will bring about when he comes back? Don't you understand? You, Adrick, you are a real soldier! You are a pure soldier! But, our teacher, he is not!! He is not!! The teacher is already a politician!! Adrick, maybe you think you know the teacher very well! But... a person like you doesn't understand politicians at all! You don't understand what a politician will do at all!"

Adrick refuted something, but Ruhr was no longer willing to listen.

The fat man rushed out of the room angrily. Adric looked at the fat man's back, smiled helplessly, turned around, and continued to look at the military map on the wall, and he quickly saw that...

The fat man rushed out of the room, but he did not leave immediately.

Ruer immediately found Adrick's personal guard captain. Facing Adrick's personal guard captain, the fat man almost rudely dragged the other party aside, grabbed the other party's collar with both hands, his eyes red, and his face was murderous: "Tell me! Who has come to secretly meet your general these two days!"

The captain of the guard and Ruer are also old acquaintances. He was not angry about Ruer's actions, but just replied in a stern manner: "Sir, the general is busy with official duties, and there are many people coming to see him every day, so..."

"You understand what I mean! I mean, is there any special person who has come to see your general!"

The captain of the guard fell silent.

Ruhr was shocked, took a deep breath, looked at the guy in front of him, and whispered: "Listen, I know your loyalty to Adrick! But you should believe me! The question I asked is very important! It is related to your general's life and death! Your general is too straightforward, and I don't want him to be deceived by some bastard as a gun! Do you understand? Tell me, I want to save him!!"

The captain of the guard was still hesitating, and Ruer was already furious. He grabbed the other party's collar and tightened his hand a little more, and said viciously: "If you don't say it, it will only harm your general! Do you want to watch him die?!"

The captain of the guard's expression became ugly. He silently raised his hand, grabbed Ruer's wrist, pushed the fat man away, and whispered: "Sir... I understand your painstaking efforts and intentions. In fact, I am very grateful to you. I know very well that the general is in a very bad situation! In the imperial capital, I am afraid that only you are willing to sincerely help him and be good for him! But the general has an order, so we are not allowed to say it out, so the military order is like a mountain, and I dare not disobey!"

Ruhr's eyes showed deep disappointment. He looked at the loyal officer and sighed: "Okay, what kind of people bring what kind of soldiers! Adrick was stubborn and everyone he brought with him was also stubborn!"

"Sir, please forgive me..." The officer looked a little ashamed and lowered his head.

The fat man let go of his hands, stood there and took a few breaths, and his mind was swiftly rotating with various thoughts.

The situation is bad!

It's bad!

It’s not that the fat man was too fussy, but that the comeback of Duke Minas was a little worse for Adrick’s current situation!

Although on the surface, Duke Minas is Adrick's old boss and former teacher. The two should be intimate...

But the fat man is definitely not as naive as Adrick!

He knew very well what the outcome would be if a purely loyal soldier and a politician were together!

Politician! This word is used on Duke Minas, and the fat man thinks it is not an exaggeration at all!

Although he was once a disciple of Duke Minas! But the fat man had already seen it clearly!

Their teacher, the veteran of the army, Duke Minas, had long transformed from a soldier of the loyal empire to a naked politician!

He is also a famous general of the empire, and even Duke Minas is the master of his teacher.

But in Ruer's heart, he will no longer trust this teacher!

When they were in conflict with the emperor, Adrick, a pure soldier, chose to stick to his beliefs, even if he could offend the emperor! But Duke Minas retreated and chose to protect himself.

Also in the crisis of the empire, Adrick was willing to take a big risk and defend the imperial capital with his remaining soldiers! He and the rebels were killed by life and death, and almost died many times!

However, Duke Minas still chose to retreat and protect himself. Even when the rebels entered the city, the empire elder chose to stay in the door. Although he had never betrayed, he did not stand up to resist the rebels!

A truly pure soldier would never do this!

Everything that Duke Minas did was not for this empire! But for himself and for the benefit of his family!

In the fat man's heart, this teacher who was once very respected is no longer the old coach who was respected for the empire for his whole life.

Once such a Duke of Minas relocates to the military headquarters, can he still count on the intimacy between him and Adrick?!

joke!

Duke Minas naturally understood that the reason why the emperor appointed him was to suppress Adrick! The only bargaining chip he could be appreciated by the emperor was to suppress Adrick! If the old man wanted to continue to gain the support of the emperor, he would have to suppress Adrick in the future! This is his only way to protect himself on the ***!!

At the same time, Adrick's approach this time...the approach of angering the emperor is simply stupid and indescribable in words!

What is Adrick’s greatest capital now? It’s not military achievements!

Speaking of military merits, the Shaya, who ate Odin and the Red Snow Legion, was even stronger than Adrick in terms of merit! But no one in the empire would regard Shaya as the pillar of the empire! And the only candidate who everyone expected was Adrick!

why is that?!

Prestige! Great reputation has long since gained Adrick's current status!

Adrick led his remnants to defend the imperial capital, and was born and died. He never gave up even when he fell into a desperate situation several times. His loyalty to the empire moved and admired countless people. Moreover, he was selfless and honest and loyal to the emperor. All of this created his great prestige! His noble character was admired by countless people!

However, Adrick's actions this time undoubtedly caused great harm to his own prestige!

Even if he was tougher in the past, everyone would think that he was just sticking to his own opinions. But if Adrick really treated the emperor with a domineering attitude and acted like bullying the emperor, it would be completely different!

Although the empire was in decline, people still did not completely despair about the royal family. People still had expectations for this empire. Although the emperor was young and had losses in his personal morality, in general, many people still had expectations, hoping that the empire would improve under his leadership.

But if Adrick showed his posture as a powerful minister at this time, he would disappoint many people who supported him in the past! He is a famous general in people's hearts, a patriotic general with noble character! And he must not be the domineering powerful minister who relies on his power to oppress the young and weak kings! Such actions will undoubtedly make many people go from supporting him to disgust.

At this time, a Duke of Minas, who was unconscious, stepped back onto the stage...

The fat man stood there, his face suddenly clear and dark, as if he was thinking for a long time, and suddenly a trace of exclusivity flashed in his eyes.

He stared at the captain of the personal guard in front of him and said coldly: "I don't ask you anything else, I just ask you one thing, are you loyal to your general?"

"Above all!" The officer replied without hesitation.

Ruer looked at the other person with his eyes slanted, and suddenly said coldly: "I'm even willing to die for him?"

"I will never refuse!" The officer's answer was firm.

"Okay!" Ruer rubbed his hands and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to die! But I need you to do one thing! Remember, this matter is related to your general's life and death!"

“Are you ready?”

Defini stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

The gorgeous clothes show their identity, and the glittering crown above their heads...

The woman looked at the beautiful figure in the mirror and said lightly: "Be ready, let's go."

There was no maid's answer behind him.

With a gentle cough, Defini immediately turned around when he heard the sound and saw his brother standing at the door. The maid in the room had retreated at any time.

"Brother, brother..." Defini forced a smile.

Roddy walked into the room, closed the door with his backhand, then stood at the door, staring quietly at his sister.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you." Defini smiled a little tiredly: "I heard about His Majesty's appointment. Brother, you are already a general of the Guards. It is rare to sit at the position of General of the Guards at the age of thirty..."

"Defini..." Roddy's voice was a little hoarse.
