Chapter 44 Checkpoints

Sitting in his car, Rebalman looked out the window at the dark night where not even the snow-white earth could give back a glimmer of light, and repeatedly recalled what had happened at the Army Headquarters.

It was like a dream, even though fifty years earlier, the previous Emperor, Edward VII, had ordered the blockade of all information on the specific matters of the two wars, and continued to hide the mysteries of magic from the world and even from the bureaucracy.

But as the commander-in-chief of an important fleet of the Navy, he had long known that the Church had the right to control all the mysteries of the world, and that it had the ability to use magic.

Even because Rebaman's rank and the relationship between the royal family and his close relatives were close enough to the center of power, he had already been able to come into contact with the so-called magic.

For example, the secret project called "Star Cross", in which the Army, military and the Church that gave birth to the Crusaders, was a huge project to combine magic with science and technology in the laboratory to apply magic science to military purposes.

Before the Empire quantified the production of magic weapons, Rebalman had already visited the inscription process of magic concentrating at the Edinburgh Industrial Base, and to this day, the Edinburgh Industrial Base, which is managed by the Church, is still producing magic weapons day and night......

Rebalman even obtained through special channels a copy of the video that only the highest echelons of the Army and members of the royal family combined, Morgan, who had seen the video through special channels.

The video shows Archbishop Antonio demonstrating fire magic himself, unleashing balls of fire several times to hit and incinerate several humanoid targets in the military range, but it is clearly different from the holy flame released by Tiffany.

The red fire released by Antonio, and even the magicians in the war with the Celestial Empire sixty years ago in the record, used energy, whether it is stone, fire, electricity, ice, feng shui, etc., at least exist in nature, such as darkness, light and some mixed attributes, life attributes are extremely rare, but its extremely strong healing power and impact on things in the world are traceable in the real world after all, for example, many animals and insects have strong self-healing, not to mention night and light.

Looking at Tiffany, the haunting flame of silver-white light that burned stone walls and molten iron in an instant was incredible, and if there was one attribute that could name her abilities, Rebalman could only think of the word holy.

Recalling Shicai's seemingly unruly and wild appearance bathed in the white light of the Holy Flame, but in fact her rather natural, calm and calm posture, Rebalan absolutely believed that Tiffany's claim that the spread of the Holy Flame could cover the whole of Morlinsk, without him, because of that sword-like cold eyes and holy posture, it was enough to make Rebalman believe in this junior who he had questioned at the beginning.

He no longer saw her as a maiden, at least not as a human maiden.

The silvery-white glow of the flame in the center of the flame of terrifying power in Tiffany's hand was as beautiful and dangerous as she was, and she was really the messenger of God, the incarnation of the archangel Melgar?

All this strangeness has cast a layer of mystery on this Colonel Crowley, her powerful power is really given by the angels of holy war? if she is not controlled by the empire and the church, what will she do, will she become a demon or continue to be a messenger of heaven?

Rebaman thought about it so much that he didn't know whether to call the white blazing flame a holy flame or the karmic fire of hell, and the night was so unaware that he had wavered in his worldly pursuits...... The long-shelved, youthful Catholic teachings began to reappear in my mind......

He was not the only one who had the same thoughts, but the other twenty-two generals and colonels attending the meeting, and on their way back at this time, their thoughts entered a rather strange state of meditation...... Except for Morgan......

On the morning of November 18, 1914 in the imperial calendar, west of Mozik, the capital of the Northern Union, thirty-five kilometers east of the permafrost port - the Murlinsk industrial complex, at the industrial bridge in front of the industrial boulevard.

Before the Morlins City District, where the Army headquarters was located, there were no abandoned fortifications and frozen earth and gravel on the road, and a black military vehicle drove slowly and steadily on the road, and Tiffany was taking a nap in the back seat of the special car.

Suddenly, she noticed that the car seemed to stop, and immediately asked:

"Tasha, what's going on?"

Tasha, a driver with red hair and a shawl, also dressed in an army uniform, hurriedly turned around and replied:

"Report to the head of the group, yes...... It's a checkpoint!"

"Checkpoints? The headquarters meeting has already ended, and all the checkpoints along the road should have received a message as early as the early hours of the morning, and they should be allowed to pass directly when they see the vehicles going out, how can they still block it...... Let's go down and have a look. ”

General Tiffany lowered the brim of his hat and walked over to a soldier at the station's outpost, handing over his ID and signaling for clearance.

The soldier glanced at it, first saluted, then stretched out his palm, still making a gesture to stop:

"I'm sorry sir, our superiors haven't given an order yet, we don't dare to let it go privately!"

Tiffany frowned slightly when she heard this, and Tasha behind her rushed forward, crossed her waist, and asked angrily:

"Didn't you receive the herald, this is a holy woman, how dare you stop it!"

The sentry soldier still held his chest high and said:

"I'm sorry! A soldier sent a letter in the early morning, but our superior is not here now, we dare not dismantle it privately, and our superior has ordered us to do business as usual before he comes out, and we dare not make a decision privately! Please forgive me, sir!"

"Hey~ I said who are your chiefs? It's really forbidden, this is Colonel Crowley, the head of our Crusader Holy Magic Knights, is your chief guilty of the crime!"

"Then I don't know, I'm a soldier, I will only obey the orders of my superiors! And I only accept orders from the commander of the navy, and the certificate just now is clearly written as a lieutenant colonel......"

When Tasha heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth angrily, jumped up and grabbed the collar of the soldier, and wanted to pull it, but she didn't pull it...... The soldier didn't even move a step.

"Hey, you kid is still a snob! If you dare to raise the bar, the lieutenant colonel won't be able to control you? Normally, you have to mess around when you see a lieutenant, right? What's more, our regiment commander is now a colonel! As soon as the letter of appointment arrives, the certificate will not be changed immediately!"

"Tasha, forget it. ”

Tiffany stepped forward to interrupt their argument, and she gave a military salute, and the GI first marveled at Tiffany's immaculate appearance at close range, and then hurriedly returned the salute.

"Hello, soldier, I'm the head of the Crusader Magic Knights, Apocalypse Tiffany Crowley, my unit is now part of the Imperial Army, and Marshal Harris gave me the supreme command of wartime except for the marshal and commander-in-chief last night.

Since you belong to the Navy, as far as I know, the icebreaker fleet is also under the jurisdiction of the Army, including Vice Admiral Rebaman, the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

Although there is no official paperwork yet, I have the authority to make any transfers and instructions to your department, and we are indeed entangled in official business, and we are in a hurry to rush back to the barracks, so please let us go. ”

"This ......"

When the soldier heard this, he immediately didn't know the truth, and immediately wanted to let him go, but when he thought of the vicious fat face of his superior, he had to say:

"Please also ask the commander to wait for me to go to the camp and report to my superiors......"

"Since there is no confirmation of the summons, why is your superior not in the station? What is he doing? Or should I go with you. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's inconvenient......"

Tiffany was a little impatient by the repeated obstructions, and immediately her face turned much colder, and she said solemnly:

"It's an order. ”

"Yes, sir!"

So Tasha said triumphantly:

"Hey, kid, lead the way!"

........................

In this way, the three of them came to a temporary military camp in an abandoned small village located 500 meters behind the bridge.

When the soldier dared to approach the barracks, his companions met him and asked him where they had come from.

After the GI gave a detailed explanation, his companion turned pale, pulled him aside and said:

"You are crazy, how dare you bring the head of the Knights here? Don't you know that the lieutenant just arrested the two of them this afternoon, and is still in the interrogation room!

"I don't know, I changed shifts directly after patrolling in the evening, I only heard that two spies were arrested, how do I know who was arrested?"

"Let them go, those two boys have been tortured and can't get into a human form, I don't know if they will be killed at this time, the two people who disappeared casually can't rely on us, now it's good, you invited the head of the group, quickly find a way to send them away." ”

The soldier had no choice but to go back and inform the two men who were waiting in front of the camp gate, signaling that their superiors had given the order to let them go, and they could leave.

But Tiffany's face was extremely gloomy than before, and her face was very ugly, and she said coldly:

"Yes, I'd like to see how your lieutenant tortures my two men. ”

The GI was shocked when he heard this:

"You...... How do you know?"

Of course, this soldier will not understand, just leave more than ten meters away and whisper, this level of whispering, in front of the magical Tiffany's hearing, really cover his ears and don't want to hear it, Tiffany doesn't know who the two subordinates he was arrested are at the moment, but to come to the industrial road close to Morlinsk, he must come by car, indicating that there must be something important.

"I don't care what crimes my two subordinates have committed, or whether they have been slandered as spies, your lieutenant's abuse of lynching and desertion of duty without permission are unruly, and the violation of military law is a certainty.

Besides, even if my subordinates really do something wrong, they should be tried by a military court, and it will not be your navy's turn to deal with it anyway! No matter what my subordinates have done wrong, I will personally confirm it and take me to the interrogation room!

I'm going to see what kind of man your chief is, how dare he be so presumptuous and lead the way!"

Tiffany's tone was cold and slightly angry, she had a feeling that her things had been usurped by someone else, and immediately ordered the GI to take her to the interrogation room......
