Lampuri Thirteenth was silent for a bit before saying with a sigh, "Eric is my son, why would I watch him die?"
Viscount Leslie slowly shook his head, "I don't know.
But your majesty, what you're doing now seems to me like you want to do this.
Eric is my friend who grew up with me and as his friend, I have to ask you this question. "
Lampuri Thirteenth revealed a smile that had a trace of ridicule to it.
"I know that after you retired from the northern army, Eric invited you to stay with him for a while, but this question isn't something Eric had you ask, right?"
Viscount Leslie's lips curled into a bitter smile as he said with a sigh, "Indeed it wasn't him who had me ask, this is my own decision."
"Then, did you tell Eric what you thought about it?
Did you try to persuade him not to attack the Sack Kingdom? "Lampuri Thirteenth asked.
Viscount Leslie was silent. After a while, he gave a long sigh and shook his head again.
"No, Eric is filled with confidence in attacking the Sack Kingdom, so he doesn't have any objections. So I hope that your majesty can give the order to stop him."
Lampuri Thirteenth tapped the armrest of his chair and looked at Leslie, as the ridicule in his smile deepened.
"Then do you know that the reason Eric is so confident is because of the people in the kingdom who support him?
Your father is one of them. "
Viscount Leslie was even more silent. Of course he knew what role his father's Stagg Family played in this.
He was even clear that in order to support his highness in leading the northern army to attack the Sack Kingdom, the Stagg Family had already invested at least five million gold coins in terms of funds and resources.
As for the manpower of the Stagg Family, it was impossible to calculate.
Other than the Stagg Family, the other large nobles of the kingdom that supported his highness Eric also supported the northern army in various aspects, so the northern army had enough supplies and equipment. It could even be said that this was the most abundant the northern army had ever been.
It was because of this that his highness Eric was filled with confidence in attacking the Sack Kingdom. He felt that with the support of so many large nobles, he could easily defeat the Sack Kingdom and create the most glorious military merit since the Lampari Kingdom was founded.
With this military merit, naturally he could easily defeat Seveni and the other prince Mifam who no one thought highly of, becoming the only successor to the throne.
Seeing that Viscount Leslie was speechless, Lampuri Thirteenth's smile disappeared. He gave a soft snort and said in a deep voice, "Leslie, do you know that even if it is me, I can't give the order to stop Eric from attacking the Sack Kingdom?"
Viscount Leslie thought about it before giving a sigh and nodding.
At this time, his highness Eric leading the northern army to attack the Sack Kingdom was already an arrow on the bow, it had to be fired.
Even if his highness Eric suddenly changed his mind, the large families behind him wouldn't allow him to do this.
Otherwise, the large amounts of manpower and resources that the large families had invested in him and the northern army would be wasted.
It wasn't exaggerated to say that whether it was his highness Eric, the northern army, or even the large nobles that supported his highness Eric, they were all tied to the same war chariot.
This war chariot had to head to the Sack Kingdom, no one could stop it.
Even the King, who held the most power in the kingdom, could not stop the chariot from moving.
After all, even the most honourable king couldn't stop the will of the large noble families represented by the Stagg Family.
Thinking of this, Viscount Leslie couldn't help giving another sigh. He looked at Lampuri Thirteenth and couldn't help asking, "Your majesty, I don't believe that you didn't foresee this ahead of time, but why didn't you stop it ahead of time?
If you gave the order as soon as possible, I think it could have been saved. "
Lampuri Thirteenth was silent for a bit before replying, "Sending the three of them out was a test for them.
This was Eric's choice, of course I wouldn't interfere. "
Viscount Leslie suddenly flew into a rage and loudly said, "But this isn't just related to Eric alone, it's also related to the tens of thousands of soldiers of the northern army!
Do you want to see those innocent soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army die as well? "
Lampuri Thirteenth looked at Leslie and suddenly revealed a smile.
"It seems like you've been in the northern army for two years and you've already developed feelings for it.
Not bad, not bad … … "
Seeing that Lampuri Thirteenth avoided answering his question, Viscount Leslie was even more angry. But his rationality told him that he definitely couldn't force the king to answer, so he could only suppress his anger. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Looking at Lampuri Thirteenth for a while, Viscount Leslie said in a deep voice, "Your majesty, I don't know what you're thinking, but ….. please forgive me for being disrespectful to you, I feel that your current actions are very wrong.
If you keep doing this, our Lampari Kingdom will suffer a large loss and this loss is something that even you can't take. "
Lampuri Thirteenth turned his head and looked to the northwest as a dim look appeared in his eyes.
"That's right, I might not be able to take the losses.
But compared to the terrifying losses, I don't have any other choice.
Leslie, in the face of two serious losses, but one of them can still be salvaged, which one will you choose to accept? "
Viscount Leslie was silent for a bit before saying in a deep voice, "I only know that people can't come back from the dead. I hope that your majesty can seriously consider this."
Lampuri Thirteenth revealed a faint smile, "Dead people are only a small loss.
Leslie, you're still young, you don't understand. "
Viscount Leslie took a deep breath and shook his head. He gave Lampuri Thirteenth a bow before turning to leave.
After walking out of the royal palace, Viscount Leslie looked up at Anvilmar City's sky that was a bit gloomy because of the dark clouds and he felt that his mood was as gloomy as the sky.
He didn't get the result he wanted from talking to the king, but it allowed him to understand some of the king's thoughts.
However, the thoughts that he discovered caused him to feel extremely cold.
If the king knew the consequences and chose not to do anything, it meant that he was already prepared for his highness Eric's actions.
However, it was because of this that Viscount Leslie's heart turned cold.
His highness Eric was still the king's son, was he really planning on watching his son fall into danger?
"If Eric was me and his majesty was my father, what would my father do?"
Viscount Leslie thought for a bit and found a fact that made his heart turn cold.
If there was a serious conflict between him and the Stagg Family, he was certain that his father would give up on him without any hesitation. He would even be more ruthless than the king.
"Is this the fate of being born into a large noble family?" Viscount Leslie shook his head with a bitter smile.
Turning around, he saw that on the street outside the royal palace, there was a shop that had all kinds of household magic machines in the window.
There was a Magic Air Conditioner that kept running, blowing out warm air. It warmed the window that was covered in a layer of frost because of the cold winter until there was only water left.
Seeing these household magic machines, Viscount Leslie's heart that was as cold as the season was filled with a bit of warmth.
Because seeing these household magic machines, Viscount Leslie thought of the New Flyer. Thinking of the New Flyer, naturally he thought of Xu Yi.
Although strictly speaking, he hadn't been with Xu Yi that long, he could see that Xu Yi was someone who had a long term goal and was filled with passion and passion because of this goal.
Moreover, this goal in his heart was something that Viscount Leslie appreciated very much. So whenever he thought of Xu Yi, he would feel a bit comforted.
"If everyone in the kingdom could be like Xu Yi, working hard to improve everyone's lives, how much better life would be in the kingdom right now."
After thinking for a bit, Viscount Leslie gave a self deprecating laugh.
He was very clear that even if it was Xu Yi himself, it was impossible for him to have this kind of naive idea.
Looking around, Viscount Leslie sat in a horse carriage and came to Count Samo's yard in Anvilmar City.
Seeing Viscount Leslie suddenly arrive, Manager Ram came forward in a daze.
"Lord Viscount, when did you come back?"
"I just came back yesterday." Viscount Leslie replied with a smile before looking into the yard.
"Is Alex here? Have him come out, I want to discuss something with him."
Manager Ram shook his head, "Alex already came back to Banta City a month ago, don't you know?
Oh, right, you just came back yesterday, so of course you don't know.
Look at how dumb I am … … "
"Back in Banta City?" Viscount Leslie was surprised.
Viscount Leslie was surprised, "Did he go back last minute?
Did he say when he would come back? "
"No, he is no longer the New Flyer's manager in Anvilmar City.
According to what he said before he left, after returning to Banta City this time, he might not have a chance to come back to Anvilmar City. "Manager Ram said.
"No longer a manager?
Why? "Viscount Leslie was a bit curious.
Viscount Leslie was a bit surprised, "Wasn't he personally sent by Xu Yi? Could it be that he's planning on giving him a promotion this time?"
"I'm not clear, but it shouldn't be a promotion. It should be ….. It should be a punishment … …" Manager Ram said in an uncertain voice.
"When Chairman Xu came to Anvilmar City, I saw that his expression wasn't that good when he saw Alex. I think that Alex must have done something to make Chairman Xu unhappy."
"Make Xu Yi's expression look bad?" Viscount Leslie knit his brows.
Viscount Leslie knit his brows, "To make that good tempered fellow look bad, it seems like Alex really did something wrong.
Alright, since he's no longer here, the New Flyer should have someone to take over, right?
Who is the manager taking over?
Do you know where he is now? "
"The one taking over is manager Flaime, he just ….. Yi?
Isn't that manager Flaime's horse carriage, he's back! "
Viscount Leslie turned around and saw a man around thirty years old jump out of the horse carriage.
Without waiting for Viscount Leslie to speak, manager Flaime came over with a wide smile. He gave Viscount Leslie a bow and said, "Lord Viscount, if sir chairman knows that you're back in Anvilmar City, he will definitely be very happy.
I think that when he comes back from Sowell City, he will definitely make a special trip to Anvilmar City to see you. "
"You recognize me?" Viscount Leslie asked in a surprised voice.
"I've seen the Lord Viscount several times in Banta City before, but of course, the Lord Viscount definitely won't remember this little one." Manager Flaime said with a smile.
Viscount Leslie nodded and didn't pursue this topic. He then asked, "You are the New Flyer's new manager here?
Then you have the authority to represent the New Flyer? "
Manager Flaime said in a thoughtful voice, "For normal matters, I can represent our company."
"Alright, I came this time to discuss cooperating with the New Flyer, opening a magic machine factory. Can you make this decision?"
Manager Flaime looked at Viscount Leslie in surprise. After thinking about it, he asked, "Lord Viscount, are you representing yourself or the Stagg Family?"
Viscount Leslie replied with a faint smile, "I'm only representing myself."
Manager Flaime's expression became very strange.
