Chapter 1029: Hereditary Temptation (Part II)


An emperor and a courtier, not to mention that Lorne was not from the Habsburg family.

When he takes office, he will either move closer to the Habs family.

Otherwise, he would have to suppress some of the more influential members of the Habs family to consolidate his position.

Obviously, Bank knew about Lorne's choice from Edgar's mouth.

But it was exactly as Edgar said.

Lorne only let him step down in order to consolidate his position.

Bank suspected, but he had no evidence.

He didn't even know that Keira was actually threatening Lorne with Otto.

All the legion commander could see was his son's expectant expression.

Bank, who has a son at an old age, has very high expectations for Edgar, and even on the surface, he takes good care of his son.

In order to give Edgar a good future, he put the young viscount in command.

Later, some concessions were made because of Lorne's needs, but judging from the results, Edgar not only got exercise but also successfully got close to Lorne.

Edgar's success has been proven since Lorne was willing to let Edgar inherit the Habs Legion.

It must be a good thing for Edgar that he quits now.

But I don't know why, Bankdu always feels a little flustered in his heart.

Is it because I am unwilling to give up power?

After finding a reason for himself, and facing Edgar's expectant eyes, Bank finally failed to express his rejection.

But before giving way, he had one more thing to do.

What Edgar is talking about now has a major premise.

If Lorne doesn't marry Anna and join his Habs family, of course everything will be out of the question.

In this matter, Lorne himself is actually more anxious than Bank.

The sooner he captures the North, the smaller the threat Otto will pose to him.

If he waits to kick out all the people like Bank, then even Otto's return will not help the current situation.

Anxious to take all the power in the North into his own hands, he agreed to all Bank's requests as long as they did not involve Lorne's established goals.

For example, when Bank asked him to announce his marriage to Anna in public after returning to the city, and to merge the Fast family into the Habsburg family, Lorne agreed in one sentence.

But how to merge must be according to Lorne's wishes.

It can be regarded as wanting to take over part of the power of the North first, Lorne said so.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, after Anna and I get married, I have decided to keep the Habsburg Army as it is.

Viscount Edgar Habs has proven his ability, and I am relieved to have him in the Habsburg Army.

But a lot of things have happened to the Northern Army recently, and it has not had an official army commander for almost two years.

It has suffered a lot of losses in the past few days.

In order to restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, I think part of the Guardian Legion can be merged into the Northern Army. " The reason why the Northern Legion suffered heavy losses was not due to Lorne, but Bank himself had also taken action to clean up some disobedient people, so the commander of the Legion did not raise any objections in this regard.

But he knew that the most elite force under Lorne was a force called the Forbidden Army by the Baron, and it was said that even the trolls were counted as one of them.

Now that Lorne is only willing to hand over the Guardian Legion, Bank naturally has objections.

"The Northern Legion does need to be replenished, but the Guardian Legion also needs to guard the grassland border.

If their manpower is excessively deployed, what should be done if there is a problem with the Guardian Grassland?

I heard that Earl Hayden Harrison had not yet recovered, and it did not seem appropriate for the Baron to do so. " Lorn regards the Guardian Legion as his own, but in fact, Lorn does not have the final say over the Guardian Legion.

Now that Bank has moved Hayden out, of course Lorne can't directly tell him that Hayden is already his.

But when Bank rejected his proposal, Lorne, who had always obeyed the legion commander's kindness and allowed him to escape unscathed, suddenly showed an unhappy expression.

But before he could say anything that would affect the relationship, Celine, who was sitting next to Lorne, asked.

"What the baron means is that the orcs have been seriously injured, and the Guardian Grassland does not need so many warriors.

We can use the soldiers of the Fast family to supplement the Northern Army.

The Baron was originally the commander of the Guardian Legion, so it would be much more convenient when he took over the Northern Legion. " Lorne is going to take over the Northern Army, which is something that has not been mentioned before.

But since he is going to marry Anna, according to the Habbs family's practice, someone close to Anna should indeed serve as the commander of the Northern Army.

Bank had no problem with Lorne taking over, but since he had to draw out the power belonging to the Fast family in the Guardian Legion.

So what should we do with the Forbidden Army, which is composed entirely of Fast family warriors?

Bank always believes that the existence of such an army is too outstanding, and with the addition of a giant monster, it can be said that the entire northern army is the most attractive.

Attention-grabbing force.

It belongs, and Bank can't relax a little.

I simply asked the legion commander directly because he didn’t want to waste time.

"I agree that the Baron will serve as the commander of the Northern Army after marrying Anna.

I will also help where I can.

But I heard that you also have a force called the Forbidden Army.

I don't know how the Baron is going to deal with it."

They are all a forbidden army composed of modified people, plus the existence of meat balls.

This is Lorn's most powerful power.

Originally, Lorn planned to split them up and send them to all corners of the North to help him monitor the entire North.

But now that the threat from the Li family is very close, of course Lorne has to keep a force full of combat effectiveness by his side.

That's why he finally chose to split up the Guardian Army and add it to the Northern Army.

As for the Forbidden Army, Lorne's answer was very interesting.

"In the past, the enemies in the north were mainly orcs, and guarding the border was our responsibility.

But now the empire is threatened by more than just orcs.

Don't you, the Legion Commander, think that we need to add some strength and change the existing military jurisdiction of the north?

"?"

According to Lorne, he is ready to take action against the chaos in the empire.

This was not beyond Bank's expectation.

When he first met Anna and had a brief conversation with Princess Habs, Bank already knew that Lorne and Anna would attack the Imperial Capital after they came to power.

But he didn't expect that Lorne's appetite was so big.

In order to intervene in the chaos of the empire, he actually wanted to change the military structure that had been maintained in the north for so many years.

Being conservative, it can also be said that Bank subconsciously sensed something was wrong, but he just didn't wait for him to object.

His son, under Lorne's instruction, explained to his father: "Father, the orcs are no longer a force.

In the future, when we treat grasslands, we will not focus on defense.

But the heresy is getting stronger and stronger, and we need to prepare in advance
