"Quiet and quiet" Salvador slammed the table in front of him with great force, but there still didn't seem to be many people in the tent who had stopped making noise.
This is the sixth meeting in three days.
At this moment, there were forty-four representatives from different military regions present in the tent, some of whom were personally present by the governors of the military districts, and some of whom were generals of the army sent in.
More than forty powerful men crowded into such a place, and the whole tent seemed to be turned into a vegetable market, filled with complaints and noisy voices in various accents.
In six meetings over the past three days, as the current Speaker of the Red Round Table, El Salvador has increasingly felt a chill in his heart: out of control Yes, he felt like he was losing control of the organization.
He was once the Speaker of the House and one of the most powerful warlords in the entire Red Roundtable Alliance, he had a strong group of supporters and allies, and his clique was the most powerful in this organization, and it was with these forces that he was able to secure the position of Speaker and become the leader of the Red Roundtable.
But now, or rather in recent days, El Salvador is powerless to watch as the organization is collapsing It was already six days ago when the news of the landing of the Landis came, just in the port of Catania in the south, the third largest trading port in the empire, a full fleet of Landis royals had occupied that port, and Landis's army, which had more than a corps, had landed, with an almost overwhelming force at sea, and this Landis's dispatch army completed a beautiful landing operation in less than half a day, The 1,000 troops stationed in the port of Catania were unable to stop the landing of the Landis by relying on the towers of the coast and a small number of crossbows, and after the fall of the harbor, the defenders of Catania surrendered within an hour, giving up the entire city.
The Landis got access to Catania, an important seaport in the southern part of the empire, which was a central point with excellent transportation around it, and the city fell into the hands of the Landisians, as well as a large number of ordnance and supplies that had been prepared to be transported by sea to the front line of Osgilia, including food for 30,000 troops for a month In the note, Lantis officially issued a credential affirming the status of the Byzantine royal family in the Byzantine Empire in a morally charged tone, while strongly condemning the treason of the Red Round Table group led by Salvador and Hughes.
The letter, signed by King Lantis, demanded that "the rebels led by the Red Round Table immediately cease their treason against the Byzantine Empire, withdraw their troops from Osgilia at once, return their ministries to their garrisons, and unconditionally accept the reorganization of the Byzantine royal family."
Ceases all military threats against Osgilia, and renounces all previous announcements. ” Such wording made Salvador so angry that he almost vomited blood that day Because just the day before receiving this official letter from Landis, he had two meetings with the secret envoy of Landis, and the secret envoy even patted his chest and assured him that as long as the Red Round Table could show enough sincerity, the Kingdom of Landis would firmly "support friends".
But apparently, in the end, the Kingdom of Lantis chose the Byzantine royal family as its "friend".
It was a naked betrayal, a naked deception, because in the midst of the lengthy negotiations that had preceded it, the secret envoy had made a long list of conditions on behalf of the Kingdom of Landis, which had allowed Salvador and his supporters to waste too much time analyzing and discussing.
But as a result, the warships of the Landis Kingdom have come to the bottom of their eyelids Although it was only a seaport city like Catania that was captured, although only 30,000 Landis troops landed, it could not pose much threat to the rebel alliance for the time being, but the strong naval transportation force of the Landis side, El Salvador is very clear that the Byzantine Kingdom has a long coastline, and with the maritime transportation power of the Landis Kingdom, it can quickly transport one regiment after another to any landing point at will The Landis entered the war, and joined the war as hostiles.
Immediately after Salvador's anger, a trace of regret came.
Before the start of the war, the woman from the Besta Military Region had written to herself, strongly suggesting that it was imperative to reach an agreement with the Landis at all costs, and even make huge concessions if necessary, to win the Landis to her side.
It's a pity that because he had already received the promise of the Odins at that time, after his confidence was inflated, he ignored that suggestion.
Now that he thinks about it, Salvador is so angry that he almost wants to slap himself.
The Odin people have already committed an act of betrayal, although they did not issue any notes or letters of state like the Landis, but the Odin people did not hesitate to directly annex a military region, after such an act, it is impossible for the Odin people to continue to exist as their allies.
And the entry of the Landis into the war, however, this is not the most fatal blow.
On the third day of the landing, the most fatal blow that Salvador did to Salvador's surprise came from the wife of the governor of the Besta Military Region, a woman whom he had neglected The Besta Military District announced its withdrawal from the Red Round Table, and it did so openly in a way that spread the word to the world The announcement was apparently made by the woman "We strongly condemn the Speaker of the El Salvador and other leaders of the Round Table, who have committed so many rebellious acts driven by private interests, and who have done a lot to deceive their allies in order to satisfy their own interests, the Besta Military Region has never had any treason intentions, and we have always supported the rule of the royal family over this empire and recognized the position of the royal family in this great empire.
However, a group of careerists led by El Salvador made a move to seize power, not only harming the country, but also deceitful means to make many members become their pawns, the Besta Military Region announced its complete withdrawal from the Red Round Table group, and at the same time called on other friends who were deceived by El Salvador and others and tied to the chariot to get lost, long live the Byzantine Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor" If this announcement was not enough to make El Salvador angry, then the next rumor was a stab in his heart A rumor soon spread among the many members: the leaders of the Red Round Table headed by El Salvador did not provide assistance and support to the exiled political axes of the Corsican military district that were attacked by the Odins, but on the contrary, in order to curry favor with the damned Odin, they actually instigated the Besta military district, which took in the Corsican political axe, to harm the remnants of the Corsican military district, but the governor's wife finally had a merciful heart and finally put down the butcher's knife at the last moment, At the same time, the Besta side was also frightened by the cruelty shown by the leaders of the alliance towards their allies, which was the real reason for the withdrawal of the Besta Military District.
And the reason why this rumor can spread and win the trust of many people is precisely because of the rumor that the wife of the governor of the Besta military region is even willing to personally testify that Salvador had instigated her to kill the prince of Gaia in Corsica, and that she has a secret letter written by Salvador himself El Salvador's prestige in the league fell to its lowest point in just two days In the alliance, cracks began to appear, first of all, the governors of the northern military districts, many people openly expressed their distrust of the alliance, especially the leaders led by Salvador, because their territory was in the north, close to the Odin When the Corsicans suffered a miserable fate, Salvador did not hesitate to betray them, so if this happened to me, it was the strongest thought in the hearts of many of the governors of the northern military districts In addition, even many of those who supported El Salvador before have begun to defect.
The reason is simple: this matter is so disgraceful that it is intolerable at any time to make such a murderous attack on an insider member who has fallen into trouble, even if this decision was not made by El Salvador alone But now that all the spearheads are pointed at El Salvador, and it seems that the speaker is obviously about to finish, at this time, many people, even those who were previously El Salvador's comrades, can't wait to jump out and draw a line with El Salvador.
What annoys Salvador is that many of these guys who jumped out to draw a line with themselves were once his henchmen, and the idea of getting rid of the Corsican political axe in exile was also somewhat due to these guys.
And now, it seems that he has become the best scapegoat and the person who bears the blame for this matter.
Everyone knows that the fall of El Salvador is only a matter of time, and it is a chain reaction that he will no longer be able to continue to hold the position of Speaker, and after losing the position of Speaker because he can no longer lead this coalition, El Salvador is not qualified to continue to be the leader of his small group.
Therefore, the emergency meeting held in the past few days has not come to a conclusion in order to discuss a countermeasure to deal with the entry of the Lantis into the war, and at the same time how to react to the betrayal of the Besta Military District, which has already announced its withdrawal from the alliance.
Several or six meetings, almost every time, ended up being an endless internal bickering and blame-shifting and name-calling.
Some people complained about why the Salvadoran chief had not done a good job of liaising with Lantis.
Some people complain that forming an alliance with the Odin is simply a foolish act, and now the betrayal of the Odin is the best proof of this.
Some people complained that the league had too much trust in the Besta people before.
Some complained about the shortage of supplies that their army should have been allocated.
Some people complain that their defense zone is too far forward and takes on too much responsibility.
Some people believe that negotiations with the Landis should continue.
Others believe that Landis's 30,000 troops are not worth worrying about, and that they should concentrate on the Besta Military Region to prevent this betrayal from happening again.
Others insisted that efforts should be concentrated on the capture of Osgilia before the onset of winter, and once Osgilia had been conquered and the Byzantine royal family had been eliminated, neither the Landis nor the Besta Military Region would be a problem.
In short, all kinds of arguments filled the meeting, everyone is a hero, holding military power, you don't obey me, I don't obey you.
In the past, El Salvador, as the Speaker, could have used his prestige and extensive connections in the alliance to mediate and integrate the alliance into a whole.
But now he has become the object of everyone's attention.
Salvador slapped the table so hard that his slap hurt, and the noise below still didn't stop at all.
In the past, as long as he Salvador coughed heavily and swept over with a majestic gaze, these guys would have shut up, but now the only result he got from slapping the table was a few unfriendly glances thrown around.
This alliance is over.
Salvador lamented in his heart.
"I propose that we must immediately re-elect the Speaker, a real leader, in order to lead this group to a united decision, and I initiate the impeachment of Mr.
Salvador" In the midst of the crowd, a voice suddenly rang out, drowning out the voices of the others.

This proposal was immediately endorsed by many people, and many military regions reconsidered it one after another.
Salvatore sneered as he looked at the guy who spoke first was a supporter of his own who had betrayed him yesterday.
He can fully understand the mentality of these betrayers, after betraying themselves, these betrayers want to defeat themselves as quickly and completely as quickly as possible, because these betrayers are more afraid of their own retribution than others, so once they betray themselves, they will become those enemies who want their own death the most Facing the turmoil below, Salvatore sighed in his heart, he slapped the table hard again, and shouted loudly: "Quiet quiet" This time, the crowd finally calmed down a bit.
"I know, you all want me to remove my ass from this chair now," Salvatore shouted in a mocking tone, "But I want to remind you, gentlemen, that this is an extraordinary time, and we have spent several months, with ten times the superior forces, and still have not been able to conquer Oskiria, and now the Lantis are in the war and are on our side, the Odin stabbed us in the back, the Besta people have betrayed us, these things are piled up in front of our eyes, every single one, It is far more important than the re-election of a new speaker, and if we do not focus on the most important things, and continue to pursue these minor things, and compete for these small profits, then sooner or later we will be destroyed by our enemies."
El Salvador's puffed up breath made many people really quiet, and it seemed that for a while, some people were shaken.
But soon, "Is it Lord Salvador, it seems that we don't have to wait to be destroyed by the enemy, we will be destroyed by you first, on this issue, we can ask the prince of Gaia in Corsica or the Odin people, the allies you personally contacted, don't shirk the responsibility, Salvador, the result of all this is that you can no longer steer this big ship, a new helmsman, in order to steer this ship in the right direction" Salvador shook his body, and he looked up to see that the person who said these words was one of his former confidants.
But now, this guy is staring at himself with a look full of viciousness, Salvador understands in his heart: this guy has contacted some members of his previous small group, they have reached an agreement, put him in the position of speaker, hum, ridiculous, "I can move my ass" Salvador took a deep breath, suddenly stood up straight, straightened his back, he glared at the guy fiercely, and said coldly: "I don't need your reminder that this ship needs a new captain, but you, dear Sammy."
I don't think you're in a position to accuse me of these things oh, let me think about it, I seem to have left some interesting letters with your signature on them oh yes, yes, if you don't want me to take those things out now, just shut your mouth and put your little pathetic wisdom down on business."
The guy immediately looked a little short of breath, and cowered away from his eyes.
"But Salvador, I think he's right."
The governor of a military region spoke loudly: "Even if we want to deal with the Odinians, if we want to deal with the Lantis, if we want to continue to attack Osgilia, we must have a leader to do all these things, but obviously, this person will not be you, El Salvador, let me make it clear, I don't trust you, my military region is in the north, less than six hundred miles away from the Corsican Military Region" This guy was a northern governor, and his opening immediately triggered more sources of voice from the Northern Military District.
Salvador's old face was full of gloom, and he still tried to stand up straight, but his hands were already trembling slightly as he supported the table.
That's when the bang The door was kicked open Immediately a beautiful leather boot with a shiny polish came in, and the breeches were ironed without a single wrinkle, and there was a straight uniform, shining ribbons and medals, and meticulously combed hair.
Hughes, the Governor of Armenia, suddenly walked into the venue.
The appearance of the "noble governor" was in line with his usual style, and he did not dress like a military meeting at all, but more like a banquet.
When he walked in, he even covered his nose with a snow-white handkerchief.
"Gentlemen" Hughes let out a long shout, which immediately suppressed the sound of the audience.
He walked to the table in high spirits, then walked around the table and stood in front of Salvador.
Hughes held his head high, then glanced at Salvador faintly.
Salvatore smiled bitterly in his heart.
He knew very well that Hughes would not let go of such an opportunity.
All along, Hughes has been competing with himself for leadership within the Red Roundtable coalition.
In the past few days, he had sent someone to invite him to attend, but Hughes never showed up.
In fact, the Hughes governor had not attended a military meeting for many days.
The calculation of time begins with that "terrible night".
On the night of the raid of the entire Rhodrian cavalry, the Armenian army of Governor Hughes suffered huge losses, the cavalry was almost completely lost, the infantry suffered heavy losses, and the strength of the two corps was defeated by the Rhodrian cavalry.
The Armenian army was badly wounded Everyone knows that in this world, having soldiers in hand is king, and after the heavy losses of the army, Hughes's position in the alliance is also threatened, at least, for the time being, he no longer has a position that poses a threat to El Salvador.
With more than half of his army gone, Hughes was no longer qualified to continue competing with El Salvador for the position of leader.
Since then, the arrogant Hughes has never attended a military meeting, and each time he has sent his generals to meet the scene.
He even returned to the city of Merika of the Armenian Military District to recuperate for half a month.
So, at this meeting, Salvador didn't think that this guy would appear, but he did Obviously, this guy is here to fall into the well Salvatore sighed inwardly.
At least, it would be much more glorious for this guy to make the last knife than to be bitten to death by those despicable little characters.
If his position is snatched by him, it can be regarded as his own decent stepping down, he tried his best to look at Hughes with a calm look, usually his biggest political enemy.
Just as Salvador looked at Hughes with such almost tragic eyes, the "noble governor" suddenly smiled.
Hughes smiled as if he was sly.
Then he turned, took a step aside, and sat down in his own seat in a position below Salvador's left.
"Gentlemen, didn't you say that we were going to discuss some important matters, why did I come in and see not a group of noble governors and future kings, but a group of bereaved dogs who seemed to be a little frightened and uneasy" Hughes sneered and said lightly in a deliberately casual tone: "Okay, let's pay more attention to some important things, the spirit of unity is the most important thing in the current enemy."
Oh yes, Lord El Salvador, please go ahead and preside over the meeting. ” As he spoke, Hughes closed his mouth and looked like he was ready to listen.
As Hughes finished speaking, many of the representatives of the military regions below seemed to be a little caught off guard.
Then, under the eyes of Hughes, many people closed their mouths, quietly turned around and sat back in their seats.
These people are all representatives of those military districts that originally supported Hughes.
With such a powerful figure as Hughes in charge, the scene suddenly returned to order.
In the following meetings, El Salvador continued to preside over as speaker, although there were still objections, but each time El Salvador put forward a proposal, Hughes gave his full support, and the meeting lasted for an hour, but the effect was even better than the previous five meetings combined By the end of the meeting, everyone had left, but Hughes remained unmoved, still sitting in his seat.
Salvatore waited quietly for everyone else to leave before he walked up to Hughes.
"Why" Faced with this question, Hughes raised his eyelids and glanced at Salvador, then smiled: "I don't think a gentleman who has served the League for twenty years should not be treated like this. ” Salvatore smiled: "Okay, you and I both know that we are not good people why, Hughes, I have thought of many possibilities, but none of them expected you to stand up and support me."

Even you and I are well aware that after all these years, now is the best time for you to take me down. ” Hughes smiled, he stood up, turned and walked to the door, his boots making a thudding sound, and the footsteps did not stop until the doorway.
The guy turned around and looked at Salvador, his gaze blaring: "I'd gladly replace you as the leader of this alliance, but only if this alliance continues to exist."
Now in the situation, we have to come together to get through this, I don't want to end up with you, El Salvador.
And I'm sure that if you and I change positions, you will also make these moves that I have today because in this group, there are too many fools and too few smart people hahaha" With that, he strode out the door.
Char lived in the city of Haske for half a month.
The governor's wife invited him to lunch almost every day, and sometimes in the afternoon they went hunting or hiking outside the city.
And then, in the evenings, he would go to the tavern with General Lear, the nephew of the Governor's wife, and drink with a group of officers while playing the organ, and gambling a few times when the surname was high.
It's so comfortable.
So comfortable that Char almost forgot the time, at least on the surface, he did.
Finally, at noon that day, after having lunch with the Governor's wife, Char returned to his lodgings, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a familiar figure standing there waiting.
A delicate and handsome face, a cynical smile, and a somewhat mocking look at the corners of his mouth.
The uniform was crumpled and the neckline was crooked.
Dax stood there and appeared in front of Char in a very "Dax-esque" signature look.
Char sighed, he looked at this guy and said with a wry smile: "There are so many candidates, they just sent you" "Stop complaining, my boss."
Dax sighed, "Everyone else is busy, and whoever made me free was sent to do this chore."
Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes at Char: "When I received your handwritten letter from someone from the Besta Military Region, Green was so angry that he flipped the table.
Oh yes, before I came, Green said that when I saw you, I must help him slap you a few times, you irresponsible fellow.
His exact words were: You have been our boss for less than half a year, and you have been playing and disappearing for three months. ” `` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
