"Laminad, come in too!”
Tangning raised her hand to stop Neon, who was about to speak," From today onwards, you are also a Captain of the City Defense Army of the Republic of Ghana. Lord Neon and Lord Nassail, before you came here, Lord Parton had already handed in his resignation due to health issues. This is going to be difficult."”
Tangning looked troubled," Outside the city, there's a ferocious bandit gang eyeing us like a tiger eyeing its prey. Inside the city, I've just taken over and received a letter of resignation. It's really difficult, so..."
"So you made Laminad the chiliarch of the Eighth Brigade?”Neon did not wait for Tangning to finish her sentence. He quickly interrupted," What you're doing is against the rules. In the entire Olivier Province, there has never been a commoner who became a Captain."”
Tangning noticed that after hearing that Ramina had become the 8th Brigade's Captain, Nassar, who had been silent all this while, did not seem to be disgusted. Instead, he looked pleased. Moreover, Nassar's personal relationship with Ramina was quite good. When he glanced at Ramina, the look in his eyes was one of joy and encouragement, but there was no sign of objection.
It was obvious that Lord Nassar was very supportive of Tangning's decision to promote Raminad.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Tangning observed Nassar's every move and had a plan in mind. So, in the face of Neon's question, she appeared calm." A war is about to break out, but my 8th Battalion has lost its commander. Find another noble. Which noble can lead the 8th Battalion in such a short amount of time?" Who could integrate into this army in such a short period of time and truly be able to command it freely? No one could do that, right? Changing generals on the battlefield is a big taboo in the army."
" But," Neon once again interrupted Tangning," you can leave the position of Captain vacant and wait until the war is over..."
"Lord Neon, Neon. " Lord York, please pay attention to your status. This is the second time you've interrupted me," Tangning reprimanded sternly." You're facing a Lord, a Viscount of the Molt Empire. Whether it's your position or your title, you must respect and respect him. This is the duty of a noble and the basic discipline of a noble..."
Neon hurriedly defended himself,"I-"
" The third time, this is the third time you've interrupted my conversation," Tangning lamented." It seems, Lord Neon, you should return to the Noble Academy to learn some noble etiquette. Before that, you're no longer suitable for any position. I'll report everything you've done today to the Elder Council and the Empire's Noble Association. You can leave now."”
The tent was silent. Everyone held their breaths as they tried their best to digest the information contained in Tangning's words. Among everyone, the one who felt the most relaxed was Neon, who was at the edge of the storm. York, yes, everything was over. How could he not feel relaxed? At this moment, he felt his mind go blank.
" Before you go to the Noble Academy, please hand over your military badge and command badge," Tangning glanced at Nassar and noticed he was gloating.
"Lord Neon, we can't just leave the Xiongnu alone just because you've left. The bandits outside the city won't retreat just because you've left.
After you leave, your sixth brigade will be led by Sai Wen. Don't worry, Baron Lancaster is a noble recognized by the Empire, not a commoner. He is fully qualified to lead the sixth brigade.”
Was it over just like that?
Neon mechanically handed over the badge and the power stick, and then walked out of the tent. His mind was still blank.
It was only when he walked out of the tent and was blown by the cold wind outside that Neon woke up a little.
As soon as he woke up, he felt unwillingness and reluctance.
He was an ambitious man. After discovering that Tangning was using the war as an excuse to raise funds from the nobles in the city and then using the same excuse to ask for funds from his family, he felt like his chance had arrived.
In his opinion, Tangning's actions were not something the family would tolerate. It was a fraud and a betrayal. To put it more seriously, the family might even take back Tangning's territory. At that time, as the whistle-teller, he would be the hero of the family.
He never expected that after he revealed his secret, the family would not take back the Xiongmian family. Instead, he was met with Tangning's immediate revenge.
Everything was over. Just because he was not a viscount, just because he was not a direct descendant of the family, for the first time, he began to hate the damn aristocratic hierarchy.
He hated his family, hated Tangning, hated his background, hated everything.
I can't let this go! He looked back at the tightly shut tent and sighed as he left the place he remembered.
Tangning handed the badge and the staff to Sai Wen," From now on, you are the commander of the 6th Brigade of the City Defense Army of the Xiongmian Republic. You will take on the responsibility of protecting the Xiongmian Republic and its citizens. Do you understand?"”
"I understand, my lord." Sai Wen bowed deeply.”
After resolving the problem of Neon, Tangning finally felt relieved. The highest-ranking officers of the City Defense Force were the only three Captains left. Currently, he had control over two of them, Raminad and Sai Wen. As for Nassar, he was also a pro-civilian person. At least, he would support his pro-civilian policies in the future.
After nodding at Savon, Tangning turned to Naser and said," Lord Naser, the 7th Battalion will still be under your control. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"”
Perhaps it was because Tangning had just reprimanded Neon, but Nassar, who usually didn't care much about his appearance, adjusted his appearance and replied," I'm willing, my lord."”
" Very good, very good." No one understood the importance of the military more than Tangning. As the saying went,'political power comes from the barrel of a gun.' After gaining the loyalty of the military, Tangning's voice became louder," Now, let's go to the city and take a look. We are all soldiers, so we must not forget our duty to protect the city. Let's go to the frontline and take a look."”
"However, before we go to the front line, there's still one more thing to settle!”
Tangning thought for a moment before she continued," Raminad, please gather all the commanders of the 6th Battalion who are above the rank of centurion. The main focus is to announce the appointment of the 6th Battalion's centurion in front of them."”
