What is this woman talking about? To let the main force retreat safely?
Who doesn’t know that Marquis Champignon saw through the flaws of the barbarians and the emptiness of the rear at a glance, and that’s why he led his troops to attack!
Not only that, listen to what this person is saying, “breakthrough,” as if the Marquis was besieged from the beginning. Does she really think everyone is trash from the Blue Lion family!
And, listen to her address to Marquis Champignon, “squad leader”! And the dense blue ornaments on this person, isn’t she probably from the Blue Lion family!
Damn, it’s true. I knew something sounded strange.
It turns out that someone from the Blue Lion family is secretly belittling our imperial hero!
And what “attracting attention,” I spit on it, she is even whitewashing that trash Ligian who only knows how to bully his own people, disgusting!
The people of the Blue Lion family are like this, and now they need to be reused twice… Tsk tsk, amazing.
After laughing loudly, people started the group mocking mode.
How dare they speak so loudly in class?
At other times they wouldn’t dare, but when it comes to the glory of the empire Marquis Champignon, this is allowed.
Even the teacher can only wait for them to get tired of talking and calm down!
But some people completely disregard this atmosphere.
“Shut up!”
Ryan shouted angrily, quickly releasing his killing intent.
The students had never seen such momentum, and were suppressed to the point of being unable to speak.
“Your Highness, please stop!”
Flora said anxiously.
But seeing the sadness still hard to hide on Flora’s face, Ryan was even more angry.
He knew that these people were not wrong in their evaluation of the Blue Lion family, but if his family felt sad, then nothing was acceptable!
“All of you, be restrained!”
Professor Yamache shouted with a voice amplified by magic.
Most of the people present were still students, and the teachers were famous scholars in the royal family, even their fathers respected them…
So they restrained themselves a little.
But some people still couldn’t help but whisper:
“Really thinks he is amazing… Isn’t it just related to the Blue Fox family?”
Ryan was not more angry because of this.
In fact, in terms of merit, he thought he was not as good as the former Blue Fox, but if the teacher on the stage was planning to personally take action and make the situation worse… then he would never care about what school or what classroom this was.
“Answer me, Flora Haggia, why did you say that just now? Could it be that you haven’t read how it is written in the textbook?”
Professor Yamache’s gaze was still unkind, “Or are you preparing to excuse the shame of the Blue Fox family!”
“I’m just stating the facts.” For some reason, Flora also started to argue,
“At that time, Ryanardo Champignon was indeed just a squad leader, and he was still borrowing the power of the Blue Fox Knights!”
“Tsk, who doesn’t know that the evil Blue Fox family was suppressing Ryanardo-sama…”
“Lilian Aross specially arranged him at the rear of the army and equipped him with a group of weak soldiers!” Flora said angrily.
But Ryan could feel that Flora was not doing this for him, but for someone in the Blue Fox family who was being slandered.
Others were about to have opinions again.
“This is the fact, all you ignorant guys shut up!” Professor Yamache shouted, “Continue, even if what you said is right, I didn’t
say anything else randomly.” Flora said firmly,
Champignon later felt that he was able to lead a squadron to fight with the main force because he was suppressed and not valued.
His positioning was to hold the line at the rear, a desperate last stand, and he might not have been able to participate in the army’s decisions without the main force, let alone leave the main force without any special circumstances!
Many people were angry again, but were interrupted by sudden applause.
“Well said.”
Ryan clapped his hands brightly, “Even in such a difficult and involuntary situation, the Marquis still made unparalleled achievements… Truly amazing, worthy of being my empire’s hero.”
Everyone was stunned.
Indeed, Flora’s words didn’t sound pleasing at first glance, but the more this was the case, the more it showed Marquis Champignon’s outstanding military talent, and the more it showed that the commander at the time, Ligian Aross, was a waste…
The main force was defeated badly, and eventually it was up to a small squad leader who was on his first battle and came to gain experience to save the day, that was simply a zero breakthrough, and even more embarrassing.
Many people thought that Flora was shooting herself in the foot.
But Ryan didn’t think so… From beginning to end, Flora was just stating the facts, but these facts were just so cruel.
“Then why do you think that Count Ligian Aross, who had made many contributions in the country and was famous, made such a big mistake in that battle?”
Sure enough, Professor Yamache began to pour salt on the wound.
“Because of underestimating the enemy, insufficient preparation, and the low combat power of the army caused by long-term lax military management.”
Flora answered truthfully.
“Although our country has not won against the barbarians in active attacks for nearly a hundred years, Count Ligian Aross made amazing achievements in the ‘Seven Kingdoms Rebellion’.
He also repeatedly repelled the Snow Clan’s invasions when he guarded the north, so that the Snow Clan would deliberately choose to bypass his defense zone when they raided later… so that it was rumored on the border at that time that as long as the Flying General Ligian Aross was there, the Snow Clan would definitely not dare to invade.”
Hearing the title “Flying General,” many people couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is this ‘flying’ the ‘flying’ as in running away quickly?”
Ryan paused and asked again.
“Of course… There was a time when he led the army to total annihilation, and he was the only one who ran back.”
“Wow, that’s amazing, worthy of being the Flying General.”
Flora ignored these sarcasms, Because they were all facts.
“Under such circumstances, His Majesty appointed Count Ligian Aross as the commander, but he did not think that the barbarian army was anything special, and because he was too careless, he was negligent, so that he did not make corresponding preparations for the barbarian’s specialty in fighting on the vast grasslands…”
She continued, “As for military construction, there is no need to talk about armchair strategy… You have basically said the previous and this reply correctly, but there is one point you did not point out,” Professor Yamache continued to nitpick,
“Is it the number of troops?” Flora said immediately, Yamache was slightly stunned, but with her cunning, continued to ask:
“That’s right, tell me, how many people did Champignon lead to break through to the north
at that time?”
“A total of 807 riders.”
Flora recalled those names and faces that she would never forget, “Among them, 389 from the Blue Wolf Knights, 124 from the Royal Knights, 38 from the Watch Knights, and 256 from the Anthem Knights…In the end, only 316 returned.”
“I know this. Lord Ryanardo built the famous Azure Sky Knights on the basis of these three hundred people!”
Someone said excitedly, “How glorious would it be if I were among those three hundred people.”
“I will enter the Azure Sky Knights sooner or later, make contributions, and open up new territories!”
Many people nodded, with expressions of pride, arrogance, and longing on their faces.
But Ryan noticed that on the golden-haired girl’s face, there was only deep sorrow, regret… and self-blame.
