Chapter 106

All the noble local officials in the main hall were shocked. Seeing that Camus was furious and kicked over the wine bottle. However, due to Camus' identity, he did not dare to speak, and he just sneaked into the expressions of Governor Schill and the Duke.

The Governor of the Sil Province looked ugly, but after all, he was in front of him with the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Legion. Although he was a Governor, how could he dare to get angry at him? His muscles trembled on his face and he couldn't help but look at Roddy.

Roddy was excited, but her face was still calm. She couldn't help but remember the information about Camus that she had inquired from Zieg and Nicole before.

Camus, commander of the Imperial Southern Legion. He was fifty-three and eighteen, and was awarded the title of first-class warrior. After graduation, civilian cadets from the Imperial Academy entered the army.

He was once the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Regiment of the Northwest Legion and was later promoted to commander. When the previous generation of Duke Tulip was the commander of the Northwest Legion, he was promoted to the deputy commander of the Northwest Legion.

Later he was transferred to the Central Cavalry Legion and continued to serve as the deputy commander of the Duke of Tulip and as deputy commander of the Thunder Whip.

In twenty years, he, a man from a civilian background, became one of the top generals in the empire. Later, he was given the title of baron by the emperor and promoted to earl three years later.

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Empire, from a commoner to the end, he became the count, and the founding fathers of the founding country were the first. There were less than ten such people in hundreds of years.

Camus is a resolute, courageous, and resourceful person. However, his only disadvantage is that he is too extreme and arrogant. After serving as the close assistant of Duke Tulip for 20 years, he finally broke with the previous duke due to some unknown things. Originally, Camus could be said to be the second commander of the military outside Duke Tulip in the empire. However, for some unknown reason, Camus proposed to leave the "Thunder Whip" and eventually went to the south and transferred to the commander of the Southern Legion. After the previous Duke Tulip died of illness, he had not returned to the imperial capital once in five years.

The disagreement between the commander of the Camus and the Duke of Tulip was almost an open secret among the imperial nobles. This time the emperor did not send Roddy somewhere, but he sent Roddy to Camus, and there was probably some reason for deliberately making things difficult for Roddy.

A few years ago, the southern mountain tribe rebelled, and the three southeastern provinces were shocked. The Schill Province was closest to the mountainous areas and mixed local residents. After hundreds of years of intermarriage, many people had mountain blood, while many residents were simply mountain tribesmen. The rebellion almost swept across the entire Schill Province. With his superhuman military talent, Camus cleverly used various differentiation and separation methods to defeat the mountain rebel tribes one by one, and finally drove all the mountain barbarians back to the mountains.

But he was not a bloodthirsty person. After shattering the rebel forces in the military, he was good at using the hatred and disagreement between the mountain tribes and tribes to differentiate and govern. The technique of balance was fully utilized in his hands. Otherwise, in the three southeastern provinces, especially in the Schiller province, mountain bloodlines accounted for 30% of the local residents. In such a fierce environment of national hatred between the imperial people and the mountain people, the overall situation in the southeast was stabilized because of Camus's leadership.

In recent years, because the northwest grass carp alien kingdom of Dayue has separated from the empire and established the country, all tribes of the mountains have been greatly shocked. Many ambitious people are determined to imitate the northwest big moon kingdom and get rid of the empire's rule to establish the country. However, because of the existence of Camus in the southeast, those tribes of the mountains dare not act rashly!

It can be said that Roddy admired the commander of Camus. After all, he was not the real Duke of Tulips, and he had no idea about the grudges between the Tulips family and Camus. He was just a young soldier in his empire, and he had a kind of respect for this great predecessor.

Taking a deep breath, Roddy tried to say in a calm voice: "Sir Camus, please sit down. I just arrived at Ziye City today and was about to see you at the Southeast Camp when you were already here."

Camus just nodded, looked at Roddy indifferently, and said coldly: "Duke, I'm not here to drink. I just have important things to discuss with the Governor. I don't think I need to drink this wine anymore, everyone will be dispersed!"

The last sentence was turned around and said to the nobles in the main hall.

"Important things?" Roddy frowned.

Camus looked at Roddy calmly, then looked at the governor, and said coldly: "Please give orders from the Governor! From today on, the whole city of Ziye City is on guard! The whole province of Shire is on guard, and the defenders are in combat readiness. My southern army will also cooperate with the local defenders' operations... I received the latest news, and those mountain people seem to have new trends."

"What?" The Governor Teng stood up and hesitated: "No...No... Their tribal elders came to see me the day before yesterday...I..."

Camus sneered on his face, and a little mocking in his smile: "I also gave you a few beauties from the mountain tribe, right?"

"Nonsense! How could this happen?" The Governor blushed and immediately said solemnly: "Since Lord Camus has something important to do! Then let's come to today's banquet... Lord Duke, what do you think?"

Roddy stood up and shouted: "I am entrusted by Your Majesty. Since I have important military affairs, I naturally cannot slack off! Let's stop here today!"

The Governor and Duke both spoke, and the distinguished guests in the main hall immediately stood up to say goodbye. Some of them were very thoughtful and were shocked by what they said just now, afraid that something big happened this time. Some were also ready to escape from the southeast, thinking in their minds how to protect their property...

The women who were accompanying the drinks retreated one after another, and soon only Roddy, Camus, and three local governors from the southeastern province were left in the main hall.

Camus looked serious and had a cold expression. He said slowly: "Three Governors, the situation in front of him is probably a bit complicated. At present, I have received news that the nineteen tribes of the mountain had held a tribal meeting in the Fire Tribe in Jiuqu Mountain ten days ago, and the nineteen tribes have jointly elected Wuya of the Fire Tribe as the chief!"

"Chief!" Governor Schill immediately changed his color and shouted, "Are they crazy? The imperial decree, no tribe can establish chiefs! Do they want to rebel if they unite like this?" The governors of the other two provinces also changed their faces.

Camus glanced at Roddy who was silent and said slowly: "Rebellion? Didn't they do the rebellion once ten years ago? That's nothing! But this time they blatantly violated the imperial decree, formed an alliance privately, and established a chief... Humph, it seems that Wuya has some ambitions."

Governor Sil gritted his teeth and said, "Bad bastard! The imperial decree is that no tribe can support the chief. All mountain tribes must respect His Majesty the Emperor as the common chief. They dare to do this. Are they not afraid of beheading me? I... I will send someone to report to the imperial capital immediately!"

Camus looked at him with a little disdain, but said lightly: "Things have happened, but the message transmission in the mountains remains unchanged. I have been lagging behind in the news for ten days. Now the most important thing is to immediately restrain my subordinates and be prepared. If I guess correctly, they will erect a banner in less than a month! The southern part is complex, and there are many mountain tribes in the defenders. The most important thing now is to stabilize the army! Please ask the two governors to rush back to their jurisdiction immediately! I will immediately dispatch people from the Southern Legion to assist."

After pausing, Camus spoke and said slowly: "Now things are like fire. A little Mars will trigger a sensation! There are now 30,000 defenders in Ziye City, including 10,000 mountain local infantry regiments. Governor General, please send someone to speed up surveillance immediately and order the military camp to be closed and they are not allowed to contact the outside world!"

Governor Sil's face was trembling: "Does... do these guys dare to rebel openly? I... I will immediately mobilize the defenders and take them all down!"

Idiot! Camus cursed in his heart: Take it down? It is an infantry regiment of 10,000 people, with sufficient equipment. How to get it? It depends on your 20,000 local garrison troops with a weak military discipline. I am afraid that the two encounters will be defeated by the fierce mountain army!

Roddy showed a thoughtful expression on his face and slowly spoke: "Governor, I don't think we can do it rashly now! After those mountain tribes unite, the first thing we do is to contact the army of the mountain tribes in the southeast! Although those armies belong to the empire, they are alien races after all. If someone instigates them, they will inevitably make trouble! Now we suddenly take action first, I'm afraid that some people will be forced to rebel even if they don't rebel!"

Governor Sil immediately smiled and said, "Yes! What the Duke said is, what does the Duke mean?"

Roddy frowned secretly and said, "Just as Lord Camus's wishes, order the military camp to be confined first! Do not enter and exit at will! Do not contact the outside world! Then... then slowly mobilize the army to the side to show deterrence!" Then he looked at Camus and said seriously: "Mr Camus, how many troops can you draw out in your southeast camp now?"

Camus glanced at Roddy with a complicated expression, pondered for a while, and said, "At most, 50,000! No more! The Southeast Camp must leave enough troops. Once the tribes of the mountains join forces to rebel openly, the Southeast Camp is at the forefront and will immediately be put into quelling the rebellion!"

Roddy nodded and said, "Before I came, I heard that there were two mountain infantry regiments in the province of Schill, one stationed in Ziye City, and the other infantry regiment was disbanded and divided into five thousand-man teams stationed in various parts of Schill, right?"

"Yes!" Governor Schill immediately nodded and bowed, "The Duke is very clear!"

Roddy nodded lightly, thinking that I came to the south to do this. If I didn’t get some information in advance, would I be waiting to be fooled by you local corrupt officials?

After looking at the governors of the other two provinces, the governors immediately understood and said, "My local garrison army has four thousand mountain tribes."

"I have five thousand people there, but they are all reserve troops."

Roddy sighed secretly in her heart, and couldn't help but curse: These damn local guards, knowing that the mountain barbarians are ready to move, they dare to set up so many mountain clan defenders! Didn't he know that they were going to rebel and still give them weapons? It's so damn!

However, he didn't know that there had been no war in the south for ten years, and the military discipline of the local defenders was abolished. Officers from all over the country embezzled military pay, but at the moment of Camus, they dared not be too arrogant, so they could only set up as many troops as possible in the mountain clan. The military pay of soldiers of the mountain clan was lower than that of the imperial soldiers, and there was a lot of work to do in the middle. In order to fill their personal pockets, these officers did not care so much. They always thought that the mountain clan had surrendered for many years and thought they would not rebel again. Some people called the bullshit slogan "using barbarians to govern the barbarians". Little did they know that the method of using barbarians to govern the barbarians was certainly feasible, but it must be based on the leadership of a highly powerful central government. With powerful forces as a backing to deter the other party, and with the means of comfort, they could use barbarians to govern the barbarians.

Now that the empire's national strength is weak, the local defenders are evacuated. The knife in their hands is already dull, so why are you calling for the barbarians to use barbarians to control the barbarians? He took the initiative to give the knife to the enemy, but wouldn't he stab him?

Roddy roughly calculated that there were about 100,000 local defenders in the three southeastern provinces, and the Shanyue tribes in the imperial guards occupied 30,000 people. This proportion was basically the same as the population - but when the imperial guards were deficit and falsely reported the number of military pay, it was probably not the case...

Roddy didn't care about that much and put on the airs of a duke, asking the governors of the other two provinces to leave Ziye City and return to his jurisdiction immediately.

On the way to come, Camus had already brought 10,000 cavalry regiments from the Southern Legion had arrived outside the city. He had already made his own decision and had already sent 20,000 people to two other provinces in the southeast to assist the local governor.

After Camus finished his explanation, he immediately said goodbye and left the city. When he left, he just nodded casually to Roddy, and even didn't even look at Governor Schill.

After Camus left, Governor Schill was resentful and couldn't help but snorted coldly, saying fiercely: "This Camus doesn't take the Duke seriously at all!"

Roddy smiled faintly, thinking that if he didn't take me seriously, he would be so angry that he wouldn't take you seriously. But he said lightly: "It's urgent now, and Lord Camus is also busy with big things."

Governor Sil slapped the horse's legs with a embarrassed smile on his face.

In the afternoon of the same day, an order was sent from the Governor's Mansion and strict vigilance began in Ziye City.

Roddy took Rand to the street to take a look. The chaotic defenders of Ziye City were running around in a mess, with no order at all, and they bumped around like headless flies. The city was also full of chaos, and many defenders took the opportunity to blackmail merchants and extort money. Roddy felt as if such an army was not allowed to rebel. As long as the defenders of the mountain tribe mutinied, they would probably be able to capture the purple-leaf city immediately!

Looking at the turbulent city gate and the iron walls, Roddy sighed in his heart: What's the use of building a city wall? If people are not used properly, they are all decorations in the tall city walls! Seeing the three governors who I saw today and the appearance of these local noble officials, it would be a joke to say that they can manage the place well! I'm afraid that if Camus hadn't watched it in the southeast, most of the money for the construction of the city wall would have been greedy. Just like the Watt Fortress, the twelve-meter city wall was actually less than ten meters...
