Chapter 347 Pressure From the Capital
"It's really too much. How can he do this? The breath of the forest is not enough and it is going to be reduced now. Does he think he can control us through the breath of the forest?" A noble was furious.
An elderly noble next to him waved his hand gently: "Anyway, this is the only way for us to delay aging. I drank some breath of the forest these days and I feel much better. So, we must not stop."
"If you can't stop, can we?" A female noble said with dissatisfaction. Gently stroking her smooth skin, if it weren't for the breath of the forest, her skin would be similar to old tree bark now.
"But he's going too far. He obviously wants to use our people to suppress those people on the front line."
"The people on the front line are too much. They let a hundred people guard a huge canyon and provide nothing. Earl Chi Nan is not a person with super combat power. Even if he has strong combat power, does he still need so few people to guard the original Sky Arrow Canyon? Is there no one in the kingdom?"
This is true. They all know that the people on the front line want to deal with Chi Nan, but it cannot be denied that Chi Nan directly uses them.
"Not only the breath of the forest, but many other things are also decreasing. Now the people in the capital are complaining. Earl Chi Nan even reduced the number of springs needed by the military."
Springs are very important things. The more they are used, the more places they find that springs can be used. This thing is simply a universal tool. Originally, the number needed to be continuously increased, but Chi Nan unilaterally reduced it. Even the military and the royal family now have some complaints about Chi Nan.
"Well, anyway, Earl Chi Nan just needs a fair environment. As an imperial noble, we can't let a noble be targeted on the front line. I think we should suppress this evil trend."
Soon, everyone raised their hands to pass, and then orders and various letters flew to the front line.
At this time, it had been several days since Chi Nan came to the front line. After receiving these orders, the people on the front line looked at each other.
"Everyone, what do you think of this matter? Should we follow the requirements above?" At this time, the senior nobles in the command center were sitting together. It was strange that Chi Nan, the earl, was not here.
"No, absolutely not. Have you forgotten that the half-elf didn't give face to the princess. If the princess blames you, you can't afford it." "Marquis Demore, please calm down. We can't afford the princess's blame, but we can't suppress so many of us. The problem now is that the king is very dissatisfied with us because of your personal reasons. If the whole war fails because of this incident, then your position will not be saved." An old man next to him also nodded gently: "That's right. Besides, we don't know whether this matter is the princess's intention or your personal intention." Now, many people looked at Demore with different eyes. "Yes, you said it was the princess's intention, then do you have any evidence? We still know a little about the princess, and it is unlikely that she would do such a thing." Demore's face changed suddenly, which was a bit bad. "Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess has given me full authority to take charge of the affairs here, so what I said is what Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess meant."
"I see, it's really your personal idea. So, when this war is over, how are you going to explain to the Grand Princess?" Demore felt a little depressed, how did he let it slip.
"Hmph, anyway, this matter was originally agreed upon by everyone. If you are fickle, then your reputation will also be hit. Anyway, I am just a person who does things, you can do whatever you want." No one expected that Demore would suddenly start to cheat. Demore didn't say anything, but this matter had to be resolved.
"Commander, what do you think should be done about this matter? Should we let Earl Chi Nan return to our side?"
They also disliked Chi Nan very much. How could a half-elf be on an equal footing with them? Even if he was capable, they didn't like him, not to mention that he might compete with them for military merit.
If he didn't have plant weapons and natural breath in his hands, they would have wanted Chi Nan to die here. However, thinking of the breath of the forest, those nobles who were not young could not make the move.
"We originally wanted to let Earl Chi Nan be under our control, but now it seems that it is not possible." The commander was also a little depressed. If he had not acquiesced to this matter, it would not have turned out like this.
After thinking for a while, the commander finally made a decision. "Tell them that this is after our careful consideration. That river valley is most suitable for Earl Chi Nan to guard. We will not change the order."
The commander stared at the people below: "Although this matter is a bit troublesome, please remember that we are now a whole. As a member of the command center, we must give confidence to our subordinates, otherwise how can we command. If we go back on our words, will there be such things waiting for us in the future?"
"Moreover, we can't compromise with the nobles of the capital, otherwise they will continue to point fingers. You should also know what the results of the wars intervened by the nobles of the capital are."
Not all the people present were from the capital, most of them were nobles or military nobles who were originally nearby.
They certainly knew that in some battles, the nobles of the capital intervened remotely, and the result was that the laymen commanded the experts, or the remote control command, and they did not understand the situation at all, and such wars ended up failing.
Not only did they fail, but they also shamelessly said that the people on the front line did not follow their command, and finally threw the blame on the people on the front line. Therefore, this kind of thing is very rejected and taboo by the army.
"We understand that this order must not be changed. However, if we continue, we will be under great pressure."
The commander sighed: "Now it depends on whether we can't stand the pressure first, or Earl Chi Nan gives up first. Once he gives up, it will be his personal business and has nothing to do with us. We can still hold on for a month."
Hearing this, everyone had different thoughts, and the happiest one was Demore, the initiator.
