Congratulations on taking a step forward, tonight's old time and old place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After Rupert read the note, it turned into powder. It's a little bit of magic that magicians who convey information often do, and Rupert doesn't think it's a surprise.
That night, Rupert played a slightly dirty joke with a few captains in a dormitory as usual. Not long after, he found an excuse to sneak out of the dormitory, and ran out of the palace to a desolate hillside on the edge of the city.
Blue light armor, a majestic orange cloak on the back, and a huge sapphire on the sword around his waist, which should have been a high-spirited appearance, but Rupert was heavy at the moment.
"Why aren't you happy to be the youngest deputy captain since the peacetime?"
On the opposite side of Rupert, a rickety black shadow suddenly appeared under a black shadow, silent, if it weren't for Rupert's Sky Warrior-level strength to feel the surroundings very strongly, he would definitely mistakenly think that he had been here all along.
"It's just the deputy captain, what is there to be happy about?"
Rupert said coldly, but his body subconsciously made a knightly salute to the rickety black shadow.
"I almost forgot, but you're the man who wants to be the commander of the human race, ...... you."
The laughter of the black shadow was as eerie and terrifying as if a crow had been choked by the throat.
"It's not funny. ”
"Didn't you look grateful when Alexander was going to promote you? I thought it was something to be happy about, don't get me wrong. The dark shadow shook his hand and said hurriedly.
Rupert chuckled in his heart, there were only two people in the palace, he and the king, how did he know about the situation inside?
At that time, when Alexander promoted himself, he did have a feeling of gratitude in his heart, and even a feeling of enthusiasm boiling, and he planned to die for allegiance.
This blood filled his head before he saw the small note, which was the pride of the Imperial Janissaries of the Gnosway Empire.
So, is he here to wake himself up, so that he doesn't get carried away by the blood?
Rupert suddenly remembered his past with these guys.
That was when Rupert was still a warrior of the earth in his thirties, and he had only been a squadron leader for a short time.
But he couldn't feel the joy of the new official taking office at all, and the discussions around him were all about him, the second generation of officials, relying on his father's relationship, and being promoted again.
Rupert wanted to refute, but couldn't.
His resume is without merit and fault.
Rupert admits that he is not a second-generation waste officer, but he has the noble blood of the Kofi clan in his body! The Kofi family, whether old or young, are all members of the Royal Praetorian Guard, his grandfather is the head of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, and his father is the first captain of the Royal Praetorian Guard, so it can be said that the Kofi family is King Alexander's henchmen!
The bloodline of the Coffey family is definitely not a waste of firewood! It is not a second-generation official who is dependent!
So Rupert works harder than anyone else, he is more diligent than anyone else, he wants to prove to others, he can also be independent!
The rickety black shadow came to the door just as he was regaining his spirits.
It was the same as tonight, on a dark night, this rickety black shadow appeared silently in his dormitory. It was only when he was about to draw his sword to attack that he spoke in his deep voice.
"You can't surpass your grandfather or your father in your lifetime. At most, they can only reach the same status as them. Even then, you can only be overshadowed by their glow. Can you remember your name? Jokes, people will only say that this is the successor of the Coffey giants. ”
Rupert's fragility was hit hard by the words of the dark shadow, and what he was most worried about was this.
The head of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, the chief captain of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, his own achievements are no more than that.
They are the pioneers of the current achievements of the Coffey family, and people will remember their names, but they are just inheritances.
"I don't! I'm going to do something more brilliant than theirs!" Rupert shouted frantically.
"Absolutely, for example...... Terran Grand Commander, what do you think?"
"Terran Grand Commander?" Rupert asked, confused.
"After the three countries were united into one country, the commander-in-chief of all the soldiers. Of course, it's not your turn to be the king, but it's still good to be above 10,000 people under one person, pay attention, it's one person under 10,000 people in the entire human race. It's more majestic than old Coffey's head of the Praetorian Guard, isn't it?"
The tone of the dark shadow was extremely gentle, as if it was tempting Rupert's heart.
"Hmph, die, I won't betray my country. Rupert snorted.
"Oh no! No one has called you to betray your country! You are so naïve and lovely! Isn't the person who wants to unify the three countries the most is none other than Alexander, the king of the Grenosvian Empire, whom you respect the most?
"Nonsense! Even if the Terran is unified, when will the Terran Grand Commander get my turn?"
"If you're willing to help us, of course it's your turn for the Terran Grand Commander......"
The dark shadow suddenly took off his cloak and hat, revealing his wrinkled and horribly pale face.
Rupert was suddenly taken a few steps back, covering his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from shouting, his pupils fluttering violently.
"Old ...... Your Majesty ......the Old King! Didn't you die?"
The rickety black shadow grinned when he heard this name, revealing his mutilated black teeth, which looked even more eerie. Then he quickly put the cloak back on, covering his whole body in an airtight air.
"I'm just tired, let you young people come to inject fresh blood into the Northway Empire, but unfortunately, I don't think it will work very well. Alexander is capable, but his character is not decisive enough to kill, he needs some external stimulation, ignite the fuse, and then, boom! The Terrans are one! With me, do you think that when the Greasway Empire rules the entire Terrans, I can't make you the Terran Grand Commander?"
"Of course not!"
Rupert finally came to his senses from the shock and quickly got down on one knee and made a knightly salute to the rickety black shadow.
Although the old king is no longer a king, if he comes out and gives any decree, Alexander must carry it out.
It is not that the current king respects the old king and is willing to obey the old king's will, but because of his strength! The old king has strength that the current king can resist!
Some retired officers of the army and above will choose to live in a secret valley of the Northway Empire, where they will try to break through the level of the god of war or the saint of law, cut through the void and go to the heavenly realm to become gods. Although they no longer bother with the affairs of the Gnosway Empire, they will be subordinate to the abdicated kings of the past generations, and once the Gnosway Empire encounters the crisis of annihilation, they will break through.
As a result, the Gnosway royal family gave them the title - the Shield of Gnosway.
Although the retired veteran officers are not young, at least they are all at the level of Sky Samurai or above, and there may even be some characters such as Sword Masters or Grand Magisters who are not known to the outside world, and their strength cannot be estimated.
With the shield of Nosway as the backing, the old king let Rupert be the commander of the Terrans, or let Alexander abdicate and make way for Xian, it is just a matter of one sentence.
"Of course, you are only one of the candidates, and whether you can become the Great Commander of the Terran depends on your contribution. Are you willing to abandon worldly kindness and serve the unification of the human race in the Gnosway Empire? What you do will be extremely dirty and dark, and my forces will protect you. ”
"I do! for the Northway!" Rupert exclaimed.
The rickety black shadow laughed a few times in satisfaction, and left silently as he had come.
From that time to the present, Rupert was ordered to secretly do a lot of things that could not be seen in the light, and at this time, he was called out by the rickety black shadow again, and Rupert even resisted a little.
He wavered a little from the decision he had made, but there was no turning back.
