Chapter 20: The So-Called Truth

[[[CP|W:888|H:499|A:L]]] "Ah!!!!! ”

Without any doubts and scruples, he slashed with a knife full of anger.

Lieutenant General Raven's left shoulder was slashed by Estes' saber, and blood flew flying.

Raven, who was in pain, cried out in surprise and shock, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone in the venue was stunned by the scene that appeared in front of them.

Major General Estes Bradley, a highly decorated hard-liner general, the eldest daughter of the president, and a national hero, entered the Central Army Reform Work Conference with a knife, and without saying a word, he directly cut down Raven, the dove spiritual leader of the Central Army, and deeply stabbed him in the shoulder.

"What?! …… Cloth...... Major General Bradley ......"

Hearing Raven's screams in the room, the guards rushed in, but they were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Answer me! Third, the institute is where you're responsible, isn't it? You're doing that research there, aren't you?! ”

But he didn't care about Raven's screams and fear like killing pigs, and Estes lifted him up. Ask loudly

"What's the matter with those soldiers? What's going on with those studies?! You arranged that, right?! ”

"Your Excellency, please calm down."

The captain of the guard, a major who had returned from the north, admired Estes's heroic deeds very much, and was a little puzzled to see this scene today.

"Please let Lieutenant General Raven go first."

Lieutenant General Raven is a kind and good man, and Estes is a tough but very protective and caring general, and there should be no contradiction between the two people.

It should be a misunderstanding, right?

"There must be something wrong here"

"Go away."

Before the Major could pull Estes away, he was just glared at by Estes's cold and terrifying eyes, and when he heard the cold and deep sound like the bottom of the North Sea, the Major involuntarily retreated.

It's still his boldness.

The other officers of the Central Army, who had never seen blood, were just playing in the mud in the drill ground all day long, and they didn't dare to come close and dissuade them.

The knife in Estes' hand was no joke.

Even Lieutenant General Raven dares to cut it, who else doesn't dare to cut it?

As for shooting......

The daughter of the president, the first young hero of the national army, who would dare to shoot such a figure?

This is a national alchemist named after Annihilation.

She had done it in Sebei when she killed the Draguma Imperial Officer Corps alone.

If she is here, who knows what she will do?

Add to that the suffocating murderous aura and the notoriously murderous name......

No one dared to come up and provoke this murderous princess that people didn't dare to mess with.

This monster within a monster, a human weapon within a human weapon.

"Answer me, Raven. You arranged that, didn't you? You did it all alone, right? Did you plan it alone? ”

After a day of chopping, the anger in Estes's heart also disappeared a lot.

"Is it your own research that you did without the knowledge of the president and the upper echelons? Sue sΓΉ me. ”

You can't kill this guy here, not just because he's a lieutenant general, but because he must know a lot of things.

At the same time, Estes was worried about something, a fact she didn't want to know.

"Did you do it without the president?! Answer me! ”

She was afraid to give such an order, so that the soldiers who were loyal to the country, the wounded soldiers who were wounded to become the Chimera, were not Raven but her father.

That Estes was admired when he was a child, and when he grew up, he admired and understood his father, President Kim Bradley.

She was afraid that it was the president who gave such an order.

I'm afraid that the president ordered them to do it.

So she wanted to get an answer from Raven anyway, and she hoped, desperately wanted Raven to admit it, so ...... This time......

"What are you still watching?! Take off Your Excellency's knife! ”

After watching Estes stab, he calmed down a little.

Some of the officers began to go to La Esdes.

One of these two generals is a big man in the Central Army, and the other is the daughter of a big president, and neither of them wants to offend.

Bradley, in particular.

The meaning of this surname is not a joke.

"Answer me! Levin! ”

Estes was waiting for the answer she wanted to hear the most, waiting for Raven to take all the blame on herself, but ......

The Third Research Institute is an institution directly under the President, and the President does not know about it......

Is this possible?

"The research projects of the Third Research Institute are all approved by the president."

Because he was afraid of death, because he was scared of being slashed by Estes, and because he didn't know what Estes would do, Raven recruited.

The truth was revealed.

Don't dare not recruit the truth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it...... I slashed you...... I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Raven. ”

You should have guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?

It should have been understood a long time ago, shouldn't it?

How can the research mission of the institution directly under the president have nothing to do with the president?

How technically difficult it is to make and study the Chimera's synthetics, Estes, who has studied alchemy and medicine, understands.

This is simply not possible without a lot of financial and technical support.

Without strong state financial support.

"Major General, please call out your sword."

Although they didn't know what Estes and Raven were talking about, they couldn't care about it.

But at least the officers present knew that it had something to do with the president, and it had something to do with the Third Research Institute, so ......

Assume you didn't hear it. ’

This is what most officers think.

It must not be a simple problem to make two powerful generals so entangled to produce such contradictions, and in order to survive, it is better to protect oneself.

At least for now......

"Lieutenant General Raven is injured and needs medical attention."

Let's pull the two apart first, and let Raven heal the injury.

"Wait a minute!"

The officers who surrounded him were about to take Raven down and take Estes' saber.

Estes suddenly had another seizure and pushed the people around him away. Hold Raven down.

"Yikes!! Don't! Major General Bradley! What I'm saying is true! It's true!! ”

Seeing Estes suddenly raise his blade again, Raven was so frightened that his soul was gone.

"Lieutenant General Raven! I slashed you just now! ”

Without any hesitation, the sharp saber slashed down.

"Poofβ€”"

"Ah!!!!!!h

Blood splattered, and Lieutenant General Raven screamed like a pig again.

But the expected pain did not come.

"Major General...... You ......"

The surrounding officers were again shocked by Estes's actions.

The sharp blade swung down, piercing not Raven's body but Estes's own thigh.

The sharp blade stabs from one thigh to the other.

Blood flies.

But Estes didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't even say a word.

"I'm sorry, you just carried out your own mission, I was impulsive."

"Poofβ€”"

Pull out the knife and lift it up.

"I slashed you."

Then the saber fell again

"Poofβ€”"

Piercing Estes himself in the shoulder.

"I'll give you back two cuts." "Whew-"

The knife was drawn again, and the blood from the wound on the shoulder flew out.

The wound was deeper and frightening than the one on Raven's shoulder.

"Major General!"

Seeing that the blood flow was more terrifying than Raven's, and it was two piercing wounds, Estes still did not fall, and the officers around her were a little moved and wanted to help her, just now when she was slashing herself, several officers who were close to her saw it, and Estes's brows did not wrinkle, as if a knife had slashed at someone else.

was messed up like this by Estes, and the people who originally complained about Estes didn't complain anymore.

They returned two knives, two knives, much worse than Raven's injuries.

"I'm sorry."

Even though his thighs and shoulders were still bleeding, Estes stood upright and bowed deeply to Raven.

"I'm wrong about you."

What Estes knew, he should have known from the beginning.

In the central government, in the organs directly under the president, who would have the audacity to do such a thing without the president.

Raven is just an errandist, the president, and his father is the main messenger of YiqiΔ“.

"I'm sorry."

Estes was a little disappointed, and she felt that she sometimes seemed to think too perfectly of her father.

Selectively forgetting what kind of place the central government is.

…………

"The battlefield is a more dangerous battlefield than the frontier."

"Struggle is a matter of life and death, and it has always been."

…………

Estes suddenly remembered what his father had said.

Yes, it can't be clean for a long time.

in the heart of the country.

The center of power, the father who is the president has long been not a clean person.

In the center, Ai, who has seen those darknesses, does not understand some of the darkness, and Estes knows the meaning and darkness of the political struggle.

And Father, who rules the country as the leader of the country, how could he not take advantage of the darkness? Don't use these powers?

Think about it, when I was the head of an archive, I had to do so many things to maintain my own survival, but what about my father?

Because he needs to protect this country, he needs strength.

…………

For the first time, Estes justified his father's actions.

But I don't know if it's to convince others, or to convince myself.

It was only from this time that Estes knew that something had changed in his heart.

It's not the same as before.
