Somra is also in his fifties or sixties. Although he has no talent for practicing magic, he is good at arguing, so he has been very successful in the political world. Until now, he has a position below one person and above ten thousand people.
Unfortunately, his wife accidentally miscarried when she was pregnant for the first time. As a result, she was never able to conceive again. Later, she got a secret recipe from somewhere, and after some recovery, she became pregnant again. At that time, Somla was already pregnant.
He is forty years old. It can be said that he has a son at an old age. He pays special attention to the child.
Frodo was the treasure in his hand, to the point where he would melt when he held it in his hand. Somra had loved him especially since he was a child. Frodo was also very impressive when he was a child. He was like a child prodigy. Not only was he very smart,
And he was still a peerless genius who could practice magic and fighting spirit at the same time. Unfortunately, due to some strange reasons, Frodo became like a fool, but Somla never gave up taking good care of him.
In fact, Somla didn't want Frodo to go out this time, but he thought that in the future, if he lost his power when he got old, then Frodo would have a very unhappy life if he did not have the power to fight with Ren.
If it weren't for these variables, it would definitely be easy to win, but now that so many variables have been added, Somra is very worried about his precious son.
Somla had not received news about his son for a long time. Now when he heard Bruni mention his son, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Bruni, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what happened to my son?"
Bruni knelt down on one knee and apologized: "Lord Somra, I am really sorry for hiding the truth from you all this time. Your son, Frodo..."
Somra felt so dizzy at that time that he almost couldn't stand: "My, my son, did he die in the battle?"
Bruni smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, what are you thinking? Frodo was captured by the enemy, and he is still alive and well now."
Somla was stunned for a moment, and then said depressedly: "Sent, you see your son has gone too far. He dares to lie to me all the time. If I am so worried, isn't it because he is being captured? Just give them more money."
Stern also felt that his son was a bit too much, so he blamed him: "Bruni, your uncle Somla only has one son. It is too much for you to lie to him like this. I will pay Frodo's ransom."
How about I apologize to Somla?"
Bruni's face was almost twitching now with a wry smile: "Father, it's not that I'm not willing to pay, it's that the other party won't let me go no matter what!"
King Roosevelt patted Bruni on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, just agree to whatever the other party asks for. The most they ask is for us to withdraw our troops. Anyway, the Holy See is going to make big moves, and we must reduce casualties in the future.
Just go and find a way to redeem Frodo."
Bruni thought about it and thought so, so he immediately accepted the king's suggestion, thinking that he must get this matter settled as soon as possible.
Roosevelt returned to his seat and said: "Okay, that's it. Although the benefits we will get in the future will be much less, we finally have some insights. Do any of you have anything to say?"
Somra and Stern both shook their heads, leaving Bruni still frowning, as if hesitating about something.
Roosevelt has been in a high position for so long, and he still has a good eye for judging people. At that time, he saw that Bruni seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and said: "Bruni, you should learn from your father, what does he say?"
Even if you dare to say it, don’t be afraid of offending me!”
Bruni suddenly handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is the first time I have actually led such a large-scale battle. To be honest, I did underestimate the opponent a little bit at the beginning, so the casualties of the soldiers were a bit heavy. I heard that in previous battles,
At that time, civilian soldiers had no chance to get the rewards they deserved, and a large part of the pensions paid to the families of fallen soldiers would be deprived by superior officers, and there were often cases of people pretending to receive military merit. So I thought, I
I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
After hearing this, Senter's expression also changed. In fact, he has led the army for so many years, how could he not know that such a situation exists in the army? It's just because this matter has existed for too long, and it will involve the interests of many high-ranking officials and nobles. For
The country was stable so he had to turn a blind eye to these things. He didn't expect that his son was so ignorant that he would actually tell all these things, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
As Prime Minister, Somra naturally knew that at this time, he had actually made Frodo the leader of the advance army, so he wanted to take advantage of this loophole. Now when he heard a junior say this, he also felt a little embarrassed,
His face also turned blue and red.
The three of them looked at Roosevelt, waiting for his answer, a very important answer.
Roosevelt clicked his fingers on the desk a few times, and then whispered: "A country relies on its own people and army. If the people become disengaged and the army becomes corrupt, then the rule of this country is not far from destruction."
The Castro Empire has existed for many years. There have been many riots caused by such things in history, but each time they used violence to suppress the people and then appease the people. I think this will never completely solve this problem.
The question is, Bruni, the nobles will not allow their own interests to be infringed upon, if you are given the power, what will you do?"
Bruni thought for a moment and then replied: "Your Majesty, you will always be the one in charge, not me. You should be the one to make the decision, not me."
After hearing this, Roosevelt laughed and said: "Good boy, you are testing my determination, right? Well, I will tell you, I would rather let the country be in turmoil for a few years than let the country go to destruction. This answer, you
Are you satisfied?"
Bruni immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Castro has a wise king like Your Majesty, which is really a blessing to the people!"
Roosevelt smiled and said: "Stern, I see you have raised a good son. If I don't agree, I will definitely be a fool, haha!"
The corners of Senter's mouth twitched a few times, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, how can you be a foolish king? I don't think you should be too anxious at this time. You have to wait until the war is over before you can implement it."
Somra also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I will prepare this matter with the Generalissimo, but when it can be implemented depends on Bruni's performance on the front line."
Roosevelt looked at the time, then smiled and said: "Okay, it's getting late. I think you guys should go back to your homes quickly. Bruni won't be here for long when he comes back. Stern, you two, father and son, go back and have a good time. Remember,
Rescue the son of our imperial prime minister as soon as possible, otherwise our prime minister will go on strike!"
After the three of them saluted, Somra left the king's study, walked out of the palace gate together, and then said goodbye.
Stern and his son got into the carriage, the driver whipped his whip, and the carriage sped away in the direction of the Generalissimo's Mansion.
In the carriage, the Generalissimo and his son were sitting face to face. Stern looked at his son carefully. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he took a good look at his son. The corners of Bruni's mouth were slightly drooped, making it appear that his
His face is more resolute, and his broad forehead and bright eyes also look particularly wise. He has been busy with military matters and fighting for the country. Only now did he realize that his son has grown up and is already a man with his own ideas.
Stern patted Bruni on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Son, you did a great job. You are much better than my father. I am proud of you!"
Bruni suddenly became a little excited. Everything he did was probably to get his father's approval. Now that he had his father's approval, all the previous efforts were worth it.
"Father, mother has prepared a meal for us when we go back. Today our family will have a good gathering," Bruni said excitedly.
Stern nodded, and then began his first equal conversation with his son.
The carriage continued to speed forward, and the magic lamps on both sides of the road emitted warm light. Everything seemed so peaceful and warm.
The space flew around, and the sight turned to the Dustwallow Swamp in the west of Rennes. The life of a father and son here was not very good. Not only was it not good, but it was also very, very bad.
The battle with the Sea Tribe has been going on for almost a month in the blink of an eye. The supplies that I brought with me have long been exhausted. Although the temperature in Dustwallow Swamp is not too low in the cold winter, there is not much to eat these days.
Except for the occasional capture of a few small animals, the soldiers spent most of their time drinking water and eating some plant stems.
Taro held a low-level monster, Moon Hare, in his hand and quickly ran towards a big tree. After making sure that no one was around, he got into the hole of the tree.
"Father, please eat the rabbit I just caught!" Taylor said happily
Soragon smiled and said: "Divide this rabbit into several portions and give some to everyone. Everyone is tired enough."
Although he was very reluctant, Taylor still obediently made a pot of soup with rabbit and wild vegetables and shared it with everyone.
The two men were squatting in a tree hole, drinking broth and studying the next battle plan. Although the conditions were very difficult, they both felt it was worth it.
The aroma of the broth filled the air, and then slowly dispersed into the distance with the wind. A "gurgle" sound came from the bushes, and then several ugly fishmen were seen holding forks in their hands and following the
