King Riyao Tuosai’s beautiful day was being overshadowed

In his original plan, he would have first sent in a decisive force to decide victory when the Court Attendants Arri’s army were in the heat of battle Then he would have worked with Captain Wucuo to divvy up the Court Attendants Arest fraction of it for his had started out more smoothly than he expected The Commandant had beewn assassinated With the excuse that he was returning the body, he was able to enter the camp and with that, he had a chance to take over the whole arroup of junior officers would be able to crucially harrand plan

Outside the tent, hundreds of officers were shouting to get revenge for the Commandant Inside the tent, ten captains and two deputy co to each other They all wore serious expressions, but they hadn’t thought of a single plan even after half a day had passed

As the only onlooker, Tuosai, with a sullen look on his face, could not help but smash the table with his fist and stand up “The Court Attendants Army is the most powerful force in all of Norland It has always been known for its loyalty Since ere a group of slaves allowed to be so arrogant?”

“They are not slaves,” corrected one of the captains, “but rather outstanding noble scions of various tribes They came to serve the Khan, and in the future…”

“In the future, they will be the backbone of their family and the basis for the unity of the Norland,” Tuosai coolly interrupted He had heard all this since he was little “Didn’t anyone teach them to obey orders in the Court Attendants Army? Or is today’s Court Attendants Army not the same as before? Can officers provoke their superiors now?”

“The officersthe with their desire to avenge the Commandant” The deputy coedface and a unique kind of courteousness in his speech He seemed to think that he was equal in status to Tuosai

Tuosai had expected Gulun to be his eneenerals, who could decide the fate of the Court Attendants Ared their attitudes and became perfunctory as soon as they heard the cries frolanced at his own spokesman Wucuo, who needed to show his stance and loyalty at a tie as Gulun with a broad, stout figure, a bushy beard, and a bold look His appearance was unbeco, as only those who knew him well knew that he was a very prudent man

Prudence, however, was a useless quality today It was all because of the King Riyao’s family’s support that he had become a captain in the first place, so he had no choice but to firmly stand on Tuosai’s side “Ahee the Coraced However, to avenge, we e as the army won’t be able to function is without a co task is to elect a new commandant With an order from the new commandant, the officers outside will naturally obey”

It sounded quite reasonable Tuosai nodded and defiantly looked at Gulun to see what else he could do

Gulun didn’t say a word and the other generals also reht that he was about to hen the noise outside suddenly rose as if the officers had lost control and were about to rush into the tent

The curtain was lifted and a guard entered, looking flustered and hurriedly saluting “The officers have asked to h “How many people are out there?”

“About… about five or six hundred”

“Tell them that the main tent is too small for them”

“The officers will send a few representatives…”

“Nonsense!” Wucuo scolded Then he remembered that he was still only a captain and there were still two deputy co out for a yard after taking an inch We have to put a stop to this Please make a decision now, lance and seemed to have the same idea Gulun now had some more confidence “This is a special period, so we can’t simply blindly stick to conventions Why not let the representatives of the officers coardless of who becomes the new coment and support of the officers are very ination He was the grandson of the Khan and the future Khan With his were already justified What Gulun said was tanta him

Just over a dozen tents away, Gu Shenas still sitting on a stool and listening cal on their tiptoes and peering into the distance “Will Azheba and his fellow officers succeed?”

“Yes”

The Dragon King’s ansas so firuan Ru and caused her to turn to look at hih to force his way through He can only accept the officers’ requests whether he likes it or not”

Just then, Shangguan Fei, who had been running around the camp, rushed in and nodded to his sister before excitedly speaking to the Dragon King “The officers are acting out It’s real this time The other officers also rushed to support thearded as cowards and traitors Hehe, I didn’t expect the assassination of the Couan Ru had had previous contact with the officers so she knew their thoughts better “In the Norland, the Court Attendants Army is a unique army All the other armies, from the commander-in-chief to the soldiers, come from the same tribe and are loyal to the same lord In the Court Attendants Army, however, only the source of the soldiers are stationary; more than half of the officers are from noble families from any of the tribes They will serve a maximum of ten years and then return to their own tribes’ armies By the standards of the Norland, they are not particularly ‘loyal’ to the Court Attendants Aruan Fei beca take this army? With a hundred thousand h to sweep across the prairie, let alone…”
