Chapter 343 The Twin Cities (8)
"What is conspiracy?" Danica said with a blank look at Philis and said, "I am considerate, do you know? Don't think that my mind is so dark."
Seeing that Philis was still very disbelief, Danica had to say, "Okay, I really admire you, I have to tell the truth. We should guide this trend. Everything in the entire Gemini Kingdom is for the queen's service." After pausing, Danica continued, "But what you said makes sense. Their task is to complete this plan. It is a dereliction of duty to transfer the army back privately. Aishi punished Catherine for three months' salary."
"I knew you were not kind." Phyllis said with a look of your finally trick, "But where did you learn this method?"
"This is talent, do you understand? I naturally understand it." Danica said proudly.
However, there is one thing Phileas misunderstood. She thought that the so-called three-month penalty was just a gesture. Even if it was a real penalty, Catherine still lacked the so-called salary for several months? In fact, Catherine really cared. The punishment Danica casually gave cannot be said to be too heavy, but it is definitely not light.
The reason why Danica said this to Ai Xue is that the current Gemini Kingdom army from Catherine, the supreme commander, to the reserve recruits below, all the salaries were paid by the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce. Apart from salary, no income in the army, no officials or soldiers, and the army itself has no industry. Now there is no foreign war, there is no spoils, so in theory, Katherine's life expects monthly salary. Moreover, the salary of the general level of Katherine is still very high, one thousand gold coins a month, and even many nobles in the Twin Cities may not have a thousand gold coins a month. Danica's words are gone for three thousand gold coins, which is still very distressing. The punishment given by Danica is actually to make Catherine feel sorry for these three thousand gold coins. After all, she was a mercenary before, and it was not easy to make money, so she still cared about her salary.
But Danica a little underestimated her bad impression in the hearts of Catherine and others.
Maybe he wanted to do a favor, but after receiving this order, Aishi asked someone to pass the news to Catherine to let her know what the master thought of her transfer of troops. At that time, Catherine, Feimer, and some senior officers were still discussing the progress of the operation. While everyone was discussing the heat, Catherine came back with a dark face and waved her hand to ask them to retreat first, ending the discussion abruptly.
Femeer held a glass of red wine and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?" As she was discussing just now, Catherine was suddenly called out, and her expression turned like this after she came back a few minutes. Femeer's tone was still relaxed, at least it wasn't a problem with this action, otherwise Catherine wouldn't let the officers leave. As long as there was no problem with this action, she would do her duty as Phileas told.
Catherine took out a small note and handed it to Fei Miller. Philis was also present. If Fei Miller wanted to know, she could easily know it. She didn't even need to deliberately chat with Philis, so there was nothing worth keeping it secret.
Fei Miller looked at it casually and said with a smile: "Just for this matter? Do you have a big change in your face, as if you were so frightened?" Isn't this just a stick to give candy, and Phyllis is more familiar with this method than Phyllis.
This is actually a very interesting phenomenon. Those who are in high positions in this world have strong personal strength, which is impossible to cause civilian rebellion. In fact, it is not just civilians. It is extremely difficult for ordinary little nobles to create a rebellion of the great nobles. Because of this kind of guarantee, top nobles like Philees are not very good at the art of ruling the inferior. In comparison, middle nobles like Fei Miller are more accustomed to guessing the superior meaning and understanding these subtle things.
Catherine said with a wry smile: "The fine is a trivial matter. I don't have much money to spend. I still have some savings so I won't be able to survive without paying money for three months. But the key is that Your Majesty's approach is actually..." Halfway through Katherine, she couldn't speak, just shook her head and said: "I can't explain clearly. The people I serve are different from the people you serve..."
Feimier sat at the table with a glass of wine, and said, "What's the matter that can't be explained clearly? Isn't it just that Danica is suspicious by nature? Especially in your seat."
Katherine looked up and looked at Fei Miller in surprise.
"Why do you think of me like this?" Fei Miller smiled and said, "Do you think the elves have no power dispute? Do you think the political atmosphere of the elves' court is very sunny? This world is the same. No matter what force, the general with military power is always a sensitive seat. In this world, the army is really too important. In many cases, it can determine the life and death of a country. In this case, the kings will of course have special requirements for the general. For example, this time, according to the note,
As mentioned above, Danica is still very satisfied with your behavior of transferring troops back, but this time you can transfer troops back to protect without her consent, next time you may be surrounded by Aishi Villa without her consent. Not to mention a suspicious person like Danica, even if it were Phyllis, you would be a little scared. So you'd better be more at peace during this period, probably there will be many people staring at you. But you don't have to worry too much, as if the sky is about to fall, your situation is not that bad."
Catherine found a chair to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "How do you know that my situation is not that bad?" In Catherine's opinion, it was already bad for her to meet Her Majesty like this.
Fei Miller shook his glass and took a sip of red wine. His face was full of comfort. The fruit wine brewed by the elves always brought her a pleasant mood. Fei Miller's face turned slightly red and said, "Because you have no political ambitions, this is extremely important. Believe me, our Ye Li family has great experience in this regard. It is absolutely dangerous for a general to want or show that he wants to have political rights. You are doing well in this regard, and you are still a pure soldier."
"Is that so? Why don't I feel like this?" Catherine complained casually. After Femiller's guidance, she felt much more relaxed now. She even felt that her reaction just now was a bit too intense. Maybe Danica was not really angry.
"Of course." Fei Miller finished the remaining red wine in one breath and said, "In my opinion, the hardest one among you guys is Sermier."
Catherine is responsible for military affairs, and she only needs to remain purer and simply be loyal to Danica. Don’t always think about expanding your political influence, or add some industry to your army or something. It’s great to stay in the military camp honestly.
In contrast, Ai Xue chose a very smart method. She was in charge of a huge chamber of commerce and was absolutely busy. But as long as it was not something she had to do, she would push it to her subordinates. She kept following Danica to concentrate on acting as a maid. As far as Femiller knows, Ai Xue did the meals, teas she drank, and the hygiene of the bedroom. It was just from the perspective of efficiency that people like Ai Xue did the maid's work, which was a great waste of talent. But Ai Xue actually wanted to give Danica a feeling that the master would always do.
You can control yourself. As long as Danica feels that she can control Ai Xue, then Ai Xue can gain Danica's trust. This is extremely important. It is even higher in importance than doing things well. Some minor mistakes can be forgiven. As long as you make timely remedies and deal with them properly, it is enough. But if you cannot gain Danica's trust, it is useless even if everything is done well, and the better you do the easier it is to be suspected - what do you want to do so well? Once Danica's suspicion reaches a certain threshold, no matter whether you make a mistake or not, your life may be lost.
Control and suspicion are two complementary mentalities. If Danica's desire for control is satisfied, she will naturally relax her suspicion of you. This is obvious in Emily. It can be said that among these people, Danica trusts the most is Emily. One very important reason is that Emily is simple by nature and is easy to "control". In addition, if no special tasks are arranged, Emily will always turn into a crow or a cat and follow Danica, acting as a pet, and is "controlled" by Danica. It is precisely because Danica can completely control Emily anytime and anywhere that she has gained this trust.
This makes Lemil very embarrassed. First of all, the political affairs of the Twin Cities are very complicated, and he just took over, so he can't be a hand-off manager like Ai Xue. On the other hand, Danica will never like a man to follow him closely. In this way, it makes Lemil difficult for him to "control" him, and he can't completely control him. Danica's suspicious mentality appears.
As the two were talking, a messenger came in and reported: "General, the enemy has fallen into the siege."
Fei Miller nodded and said to Catherine: "Okay, our plan has been successful."
Catherine stood up, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I regret it a little now, the risk is too great."
Because there was a messenger next to him, Catherine's words were a bit vague. She refers to the plan she had formulated with Felix. A fact that even Danica and Philis did not realize was that those awakened people really realized that they could only capture the thief and capture the king if they wanted to escape, so they gathered at the Aishi Chamber of Commerce villa? There was actually a contradiction. If they really thought so, they would not slowly gather. With the powerful strength of the mid-level awakened people, they could fully enter the position and directly attack the villa. In fact, they were consciously driven to the vicinity of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce villa by Catherine and Philis. According to Felix, this could bring Danica and Philis a little bit of a critical feeling. At this time, they were leading troops to solve the wild beasts, which was also a sign of being considered.
Catherine and Fililler were actually calculating Danica and Philis. It was because they were a little guilty that Catherine's face changed drastically when she received the news from Aishi.
Walking out of this small bar used as a temporary command post, Catherine and Fillier began to mobilize troops and surrounded the wild beasts, without rushing to kill them. Catherine wanted to use this opportunity to test the military crossbows that were latest equipment in the army. According to Ai Xue, the power of machinery can completely fight against the power of magic. I don’t know where she heard the sentence, it sounds like it was said by a dwarf craftsman. But whether it can be fought or not depends on practice. Usually, there are no intermediate professionals who are targeting Catherine, and this is a rare opportunity.
The encirclement and suppression work went smoothly. Under the deterrence of two hundred intermediate professionals, Catherine used three thousand heavy military crossbows to shoot the guys who harmed the Twin Cities into sieves.
After standing outside for a while, feeling nothing was wrong, Danica and Phyllis returned to the villa to rest.
They can rest, but for Catherine, Lemil and Aishue, this is destined to be a sleepless night. The first night was the guys who were plaguing the city, Lemil began to mobilize manpower to clean up the traces of war overnight. First of all, the corpses all over the streets, the bodies of those awakened, the bodies of soldiers from several sides, and many innocent civilian corpses that were innocently affected. The houses damaged in the war were not repaired at this time, so they simply demolished them directly, which would be a little better. The blood on the street was first washed with water. If it could not be washed away, the lime would be basically not visible after sweeping it off... The people launched by Lemil, the people of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce, and even the soldiers led by Catherine, worked together to smooth out the war trauma suffered by the city before dawn - of course, it was just smoothed out, not recovered.
After getting up early in the morning, Danica wore a luxurious dress under the service of Aishi. Danica rarely wore this kind of clothes, but today is the first time she appeared as the Queen of the Gemini Kingdom, so of course it needs to be more grand.
Phyllis often had to attend important dances, conferences, etc. held by the Elf King Court, so she quickly packed up.
