Chapter 347 Prohibitions
smoothly.

It went so well.

Tosh looked at the thunderous applause from the audience, with uncontrollable pride in his eyes.

As a staff officer, what could be more fulfilling than having everything go as he expected?

This is just showing off his ability as a staff officer and indirectly tricking Vega.

Just thinking about it, as a major staff officer, he actually tricked Brigadier General Vega. A sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously. Moreover, escaping from this hellhole meant that he would have a great chance to return to the empire.

Going back alive, this is what Tosh has always dreamed of.

And now, this thing is only one step away from him.

He took a step forward and raised his hand again, signaling everyone present to be quiet.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice in a pretentious manner, Major Tosh slowly said, "Thank you all for your kindness again. Since everyone wants me to take control of the command, I will not refuse. I, Tosh, swear to you all here that I will lead you to victory and survive the attack of the Kingdom Army together."

clap clap-

There was thunderous applause, and Tosh was about to swear to temporarily take command of the two armies, but at this moment, adjutant Ilo appeared.

"Coach Tosh, bullying your superiors is a serious crime!"

Iroh said with a mocking look on his face: "General Vega is still alive, and you have done such a thing to seize power. Even if you return to the empire, do you think the judicial system will let you go? You are a staff officer, don't you use your brain before doing anything?"

"You are just an adjutant, and you dare to teach me a lesson?"

Tosh said disdainfully: "Of course I know that General Vega is still alive, but unfortunately he has betrayed the Empire and abandoned us and Princess Shia of the Dynasty and fled to the West Coast. As the second-in-command of the army, why can't I, Tosh, replace the commander who betrayed the Empire?"

Yiluo is fearless.

He looked down at Tosh and said, "Don't say anything careless. It is also a serious crime to slander a superior officer. Do you have evidence to prove that General Vega has fled to the west coast with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"bluff."

Tosh looked at Iroh with more disdain: "Evidence? What other evidence do you need? General Vega and Princess Xia are not in the city. This is irrefutable evidence. They abandoned us and it is an indisputable fact."

"It's you, Lord Iroh."

Tosh glanced at Iroh and said, "You and the kingdom's traitor Menno bribed all kinds of people to spread rumors that General Vega and Princess Xia are still in the city. You played the whole city's soldiers and civilians in the palm of your hands. Have you ever thought about how to bear our anger?"

boom!
Tosh smashed the podium to pieces. "Everyone here, please open your eyes. This is the traitor's lackey, trying to blind you and make you an accomplice of the sacrifice."

"Kill him, kill him, kill him."

Tosh's navy stood up again to set the pace, and the whole audience erupted in angry roars.

If it were under normal circumstances, let alone the roar of 20 people, even a few thousand people would scare Yiluo to the point of making a fool of himself on the spot. But today, facing the roar that made the mountains and rivers change color, Yiluo did not panic.

Because he knew that his backbone was here.

So he easily suppressed the roar of 20 people with his magical voice, which echoed clearly in the sky above the entire Royal Square: "Who said I spread rumors, who said I was distorting the facts. General Vega and Princess Xia are in the city. As subjects, do you want to question the royal family and your superiors? You question your own beliefs, but choose to believe the words of a stranger. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

There was silence in the square.

Yes, why don’t you choose to believe in faith, but instead believe in a stranger?

Tosh saw that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, so he immediately made amends: "Adjutant, after all that has been said, it is true that Princess Xia and General Vega are not in the city. It is not that we do not believe in faith, but that faith has betrayed us."

"I'll say it again."

Adjutant Iroh's voice drowned out everything else: "General Vega and Her Highness Shia have not abandoned us. They are in the city."

"Since they are in the city, you can just let them out..."

Tosh's words came to an abrupt halt, and his fearless expression suddenly changed.

Although Vega and Shia had not yet appeared, as a well-known advisor, Tosh saw that Iroh had changed his sluggish attitude in the past few days and became aggressive, and suddenly understood something -

Vega and the princess have returned.

After much thought, this is the only possibility.

But since he's back, why let public opinion continue to ferment, instead of standing up immediately to rally people's hearts?
"Could it be..."

Tosh looked at Iroh with a sullen face, trying to read something from his expression. Iroh said confidently, "Everything is just as the staff officer imagined. General Vega came back early this morning. The reason why he hasn't shown up yet is that he wants to see who is holding us back."

"How can this be, this can't be true."

Tosh hoped for the best and managed to keep his composure. He said, "You must be bluffing. That's right."

Da da da--

It was not Iroh who answered Tosh, but the sound of footsteps.

Walking onto the stage from the side were Vega in a military uniform and Sia Saint Laurent in a gorgeous evening gown.

"Your Excellency, this farce should end."

When Vega and Shia passed by Tosh, they whispered something in a voice that could only be heard within a one-meter radius. It was these words that made Tosh unable to support himself and fell directly to the ground.

Vega didn't beat the man when he was down.

He stood in the center of the stage with Xia, looking down at the 20 people who were in deathly silence: "Subjects of the dynasty, soldiers of the empire, to be honest, I don't want to meet you here in this way."

"In my plan, there are only two situations where I need to meet you here."

Vega raised his first finger. “First, a victory ceremony to defeat the invading Kingdom Army and reclaim our homeland.”

Vega held up his second finger: "Second, the grand ceremony of Her Royal Highness the Princess' coronation as the Queen."

Vega withdrew his two fingers and said with a disappointed expression: "But your performance has disappointed Her Highness and I. When I was improving my strength, you were questioning me. When Her Highness and I were discussing the battle plan on how to defeat the Kingdom Army, you were still questioning me."

"Did you know?"

"You are questioning the dignity of a general. For a soldier, dignity is more important than life!"

"Did you know?"

"What you are questioning is the glory of the royal family of the dynasty. For the royal family, glory is more important than anything else."

"Everyone, I'm sorry to tell you."

Veigar said mercilessly: "You would rather trust a spy from a kingdom than the actions of the royal family of the dynasty. You have betrayed your faith, your honor, your beliefs... and your once unwavering commitment to victory."

After a while of silence.

Mennonite navy began to exert its strength.

A sage with high moral character stood up and said, "General and Princess, please calm down. It is not that we have betrayed our beliefs and oaths. It is just that the spies of the kingdom are too cunning and have blinded our eyes. Please forgive us once for all."

"I can forgive you."

"Your Highness the Princess can also forgive you."

Veigar pointed his sword at Tosh and said, "But forgiveness is not just a lip service. Whether you can get forgiveness from me and His Highness depends on your determination in the upcoming battle to defend the city. Beliefs and oaths never need to be expressed with cheap words. They need to be proven by everyone here with the determination to die!"

After saying that.

Vega still didn't even look at Tosh, and walked off the stage with Xia.

That's enough for today's show.

Vega had already taken advantage of the situation, not only killing Tosh without a burial place, but also successfully making the entire military and civilians of Saint Laurent owe him and Xia a huge debt of favor.

How to repay this debt of love?
There seemed to be no other choice but to fight for him in the ensuing war.

Now Vega sincerely thanks Tosh.

If Tosh hadn't caused such a scene, Vega would have had to find a way to rally the people and boost morale. Now that everything is over, the huge sense of guilt is enough to make the whole city fight to the death.

And such a thing happened.

The credibility of Vega and Shia has reached its peak. Even if Vega calls a horse a zebra now, no one would dare to refute him.

As for Tosh, the discordant factor?
It was a pity that Vega casually called them Kingdom spies, and now 20 angry people have rushed to the platform.

evidence?

Now Vega's words are evidence. He said Tosh is a spy, so Tosh is definitely a spy. In the land of Saint Laurent City, no one dares to question any of Vega's orders.
