King's Landing

King's Landing Second Element Volume 8, Chapter 44, Esther's Paranoia

"Needless to say, Asides, I won't agree with you."

General Billy rejected Esders’ proposal. Although he valued this young and promising younger generation very much, he, as the general of the empire, as the commander of the suppression army, would never let the entire army out of his personal feelings. Ten thousand soldiers are in deep danger.

"Why not? Isn't this the fastest way to suppress foreign nations? Or does the general doubt my abilities?"

Asides has always respected General Billy, who was kind to her, but this time, she couldn't help but get angry. This was due to her paranoid character, and she made a bet with the little guy Ye. Of course she won't let it go.

"It's not a question of ability, Asides."

General Billy frowned and explained earnestly.

"I believe that you can freeze the river with Teigu's ability, and I also believe that you can kill the super dangerous species with your personal strength. I even believe that you alone can cause heavy damage to the foreign tribes. But now It was the battle between the two armies. Since I have taken 50,000 soldiers from the empire by the emperor's grace, then my commander-in-chief will be responsible to 50,000 of them."

Having said this, General Billy stood up from the main seat, walked to the entrance of the camp, and looked at the soldiers patrolling outside.

"Esdes, you must remember that soldiers are the foundation of the empire, and we as commanders must not risk their lives easily. Unless we are forced into desperation, we must think twice as commanders. Then, try to trade the least losses for the greatest victory. This is the way to succeed."

"I don't agree with you, General."

If anyone other than Esdes listened to General Billy’s words, he would definitely be humbly taught. You know, General Billy is the veteran of the two dynasties, who has made countless contributions and has been invincible so far. general.Every word of his is precious experience accumulated over the years on the battlefield. Which young man would refute his teachings?

Probably, the only one in the entire imperial capital would do this.

"I think that as a general, you should take the lead. Leading the soldiers to victory is the most correct. Delaying the battle will bring burdens and pressures to the soldiers. The sooner the battle is resolved, the better for us."

"what did you say!?"

General Billy suddenly turned around and glared at Esders.

But Esders didn't realize it, still talking about his own ideas.

"As for the lives of the soldiers, I also think I must be responsible, but since they were called into the army, they have proved that they are ready to dedicate themselves to the empire. We are responsible to them, not how to save their lives, but how Use their lives effectively and live up to their spirit and courage to dedicate themselves to the empire."

"Shut up! Esdes! How could you have such an idea!? What do you think of soldiers? They are not tools, nor war horse armaments, they are all living lives!"

General Billy, with upside-down sword eyebrows, yelled at Esthers with hatred for iron and steel.

"Every soldier here has his own family and friends in the empire. They are indeed ready to join the army, but do you think anyone is willing to die? If it is not for the safety of the empire and for the stability of their families, they will How could you be willing to leave your hometown and go into a dangerous situation, as a general, how can you say such irresponsible things! Asides!"

"I feel very responsible for them. Since they are going to fight for the empire and their families, it means that they have put their lives in our hands. What's wrong with us using their determination to win the battle for the empire and their families?"

"What!? Esther, you--"

General Billy rushed into the crown. By his age, there were few things that would really make him angry, but now, these words of Asides really made him angry. He always regarded Asdes as As his most proud disciple, he cultivated vigorously. For this reason, he even went to the military department with a shy old face to fight for Esders, and only then did he have the youngest brigadier general in the empire.

Originally, he thought that after taking Esthers out this time, he would be able to help her promote her to the position of general. Then he would be able to retire and enjoy the blessings of the imperial capital and his family without regrets, but what he did not expect was, Esdes's mind is so paranoid and twisted, how can this make him retreat safely?Put the soldier under her hand in her hand?

"You disappointed me too much! Asides! I think you are young and energetic, so you won't be held accountable this time. But you need to reflect on it now, so you temporarily dismiss the military affairs and stay calm in the rear for a while. The battle cannot be over in a short time, so you can calm down and think slowly. I hope you can think clearly about what I said, and go."

Suppressing the anger and disappointment in his heart, General Billy sighed and issued an order to evict Esters.

Esdes flashed his eyes when he heard the words, saluted a standard imperial military salute, turned around and stepped out of the camp without any muddle.

In the camp, Jiujiu sighed again.

"how is it?"

When Esther came out, he saw Ye waiting there at first glance.

Facing Ye Sixiao's non-smiling expression, Esters lowered his eyes a little dull and walked to his side.

"It's obvious from your appearance, the general won't agree?"

Esther did not speak, she was in a bad mood.

"So, you lost?"

"Yes, you won, little guy."

Esdes, who took the initiative to confess, suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Ye, and then directly carried him up regardless of the strange eyes of the surrounding soldiers.

"Hello!? What are you doing!? Let go!"

Ye, who was caught off guard, didn't react at all. After being picked up by Esders, he began to struggle.

"I lost, so I want to give you a reward. Now go to my camp."

"What? When did I say that I would be rewarded? Didn't you promise me a request if you lost?"

"I only promise to give you rewards, little guy, okay, I'm in a bad mood now, obediently follow me."

The low-faced Esders carried Ye strode towards the camp.
