Chapter 226: Leader
At the beginning of June, Javier, who had been in a coma for more than a month in the Eastern Theater, finally woke up from a long period of darkness.
The officers and men of the Southwest Army, who had been stationed in the White Horse Plain during this time, heard the news, and the morale of the army, which had been a little low due to long-term passive fighting, was restored in an instant, and Havel's name had such terrible magic in this army.
Only when Javier Salmondo himself is in charge, the Southwest Army is complete, the invincible and invincible tiger and wolf army of the Megatron Empire.
On June 3, the revolutionary army had already launched an all-out general attack on the imperial capital, but even if Havel got the news as soon as possible, he would not be able to provide any support to the imperial capital thousands of miles away in the short term.
On the one hand, although his injuries have improved, he has not recovered to the point where he can carry a gun into battle, and on the other hand, because the Anning Taoist army entrenched in Jerlock is particularly arrogant, and its threat cannot be ignored, if he forcibly leads a large army back to the imperial capital, it is foreseeable that the situation in the eastern region will be a mess, and Javier does not dare to take risks easily.
Moreover, in addition to General Bude, who is also the "strongest in the empire", there is also the legendary original emperor - the protector god machine Supreme Throne guard, even if he does not get support, he will not be so easily captured, and Javier, who has such an idea, finally decided to take it step by step and deal with the current dilemma first.
Javier's strategic vision has always been extremely accurate, but only this time, the situation of the Battle of the Imperial Capital was 108,000 miles away from his expectations.
On June 12, Havel finally got the news of the fall of the imperial capital through the intelligence network in his hand, and his entire brain went blank at that moment.
On June 15, the news that Emperor Rudolf Ashbern and his minister, Jolly Reginord, were beheaded by the revolutionary army and publicly executed, spread like a locust plague across the country as quickly as possible, and the whole world was shaken.
The Emperor conferred the head!
Naturally, such shocking news also reached the ears of the officers and men of the Southwest Army, which more or less caused some commotion, but fortunately, everything was still under control and did not affect the overall situation.
The Empire has always been a country with extremely serious geographical divisions, and for the soldiers of the Southwest Army, they are on the one hand the undisputed soldiers of the Empire, but on the other hand, they are branded with Salmondo in their bones, and the two are not contradictory to some extent.
The emperor was killed, of course, at a loss, and it was inevitable that he would be a little at a loss about his future fate, but as long as Javier Salmondo did not fall for a day, the Southwest Army would not be in chaos for a day, and these so-called problems would not be a problem.
Rather than worrying about the illusory future, more soldiers are more concerned about the current situation of their generals.
As a member of the Southwestern Army, who does not know General Javier's loyalty and importance to the Empire? And now that the imperial capital has fallen into the hands of the revolutionary army, and the emperor and ministers have also been beheaded for public display, it is difficult to imagine what kind of mood the general is in to look at all this.
As many soldiers feared, Javier's mood was extremely depressed now, and in the first few days of his awakening, he still went to the barracks from time to time to walk around, but after the accident in the imperial capital, he stayed in his camp tent, and obviously suffered a considerable blow.
At this moment, in the tent, Javier's body was half lying on the bed, and his slightly dim purple eyes looked upwards unconsciously, looking a little distracted, and he didn't even move for a long time, so he was in a daze.
Just woke up, only to find that everything in the world has been messed up, many of the things that were originally contained in the palm of his hand have lost control, and for the first time in his life, he felt powerless and dazed, he originally thought that he could overcome all the difficulties with his own strength, but after all, he was still too arrogant? Or did he underestimate the revolutionary army?
The Emperor and Mr. Jolly died, and their heads were cut off in front of countless subjects in the Imperial Capital Square.
General Bud is also dead, he was beheaded by Reinhardt's array, and that man does have the terrifying strength to kill the "strongest in the empire".
and Andrei and Enoch, who he relied on the most, as well as the major general Salef, who had several relationships, were all spared, and all died in the war in the imperial capital.
The only suspense left is Spiya and Ran, Javier did not get the news of their death, but at the same time did not get the news that they were safe and sound, the situation is unknown, life and death are unknown.
But even so, for Javier, who was afraid of getting the exact news at the moment, it gave him a little hope, even if it was so insignificant.
As his thoughts swirled, Javier closed his eyes in pain, his two sword eyebrows tangled together like an inseparable knot, and his heart was in a mess.
The empire has become what it is now, and even the capital of the country has fallen to the enemy, even if he can defeat the revolutionary army and retake the imperial capital in the future...... But what about after that?
The emperor is dead, and even because of the incident of Earnest's troubles in the past, none of the rest of the royal family, whether direct or collateral, has managed to survive until now...... In other words, the royal family of Ashiburn has been wiped out.
The family can't be without an owner for a day, the country can't be without a king for a day, the emperor is gone, who should this country be handed over? Own Battles...... Does it really still make sense?
Havel asked himself this, and he was unusually hesitant about what he should do in the future, unable to make a firm choice.
At this moment, the sound of light footsteps outside the tent attracted Javier's attention, and then the curtain was lifted, and Javier turned his head to see Chelsea walking in with a food box in one hand, and estimated the time, and it was indeed time for dinner.
The girl is still the pretty one wearing a headset and a British uniform, giving people the impression of a beautiful girl next door, which is incompatible with the atmosphere on the front-line battlefield, but it gives people a strange feeling that it is not abrupt here.
"I've brought you dinner, but before you eat, let's change the dressing...... You take off your clothes, and I'll help you remove the bandages. ”
I saw Chelsea casually put the food box on the round table next to her, looking into Javier's eyes, and there was a little bit of-for-tat in the tone of her voice, a rare gentleness, probably worried about Javier's mood.
“…… Good. ”
Javier nodded, quickly withdrawing his expression, as if he didn't want Chelsea to see anything, and then he turned his back and undressed without pretension, revealing his sturdy body wrapped in bandages.
The medicine is just a trivial matter, but he has many wounds on his back, and it is not convenient to do it himself, and Chelsea is willing to help, so he naturally will not refuse.
And speaking of which, during the period from Javier's coma to his awakening, it was basically Chelsea who was responsible for taking care of him, and although Javier didn't say it, he kept the girl's kindness in mind.
I still remember that when I just woke up, Javier's brain was still in a state of chaos, and at first glance, I saw Chelsea sleeping next to her bed, and I didn't realize what was going on at that time, so I looked at her in a daze.
As if sensing Javier's gaze, Chelsea opened her eyes in a daze, and the moment she saw Javier, she suddenly lost control of her emotions, and directly rushed over and hugged his body and cried.
Seeing Chelsea crying like this, even Javier, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but feel at a loss, so he could only pat her on the back and try his best to comfort the girl in his arms with a soft voice.
had such an experience, although the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it afterwards, as if it had never happened at all, but the atmosphere of getting along with each other has quietly undergone some indescribable changes.
Later, I heard from Will that after Chelsea got the news that Javier was seriously injured and unconscious at Hukou Pass, she was too worried, so she rushed directly to the stationing place in the White Horse Plain by starry night, and then stayed by Javier's side day and night, taking care of him all the time.
Although Javier's body has not fully recovered now, he is also better, and as long as he is raised for another half a month, he will be able to become vigorous again, which is naturally largely due to Chelsea's careful care.
Chelsea sat on the bed, first helped Javier remove the bandage, and then took out the best wound medicine, carefully applying the ointment evenly to the wound, the whole process was quiet, only the slight breathing of a man and a woman in the tent, calm with a touch of warmth.
Busy with the things at hand, Chelsea's beautiful eyelashes blinked, the light in her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was enjoying the quiet atmosphere at the moment, the corners of her mouth imperceptibly outlined an arc, and her expression became softer and softer.
Javier notices the strange look of Chelsea behind him, but he is silent as if he has found nothing.
After seeing Chelsea's true feelings that day, Javier actually vaguely sensed the girl's thoughts, he is not wood, if he can still have no reaction in this way, he deserves to be labeled as "destined for orphans".
For Chelsea, Javier's senses have always been excellent, both in appearance and ability, even if he occasionally has a little temper, it is quite interesting to look at Javier.
It is impossible to say that such a girl does not have half a good impression in her heart, but from Javier's position, she really can't promise anything, but it's a pity that he met Chelsea a little later, otherwise, there would be no trouble for Narausch later.
The figure of Estes couldn't help but appear in his mind, and when he thought of this woman, Javier's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom, and his heart was actually full of doubts about Estes's inability to rescue the imperial capital.
Mr. Jolly and General Bud may really think that Estes is a battle maniac, and he is too obsessed with fighting against foreign peoples in the West, so that he can't get out of it later.
But Javier is one of the few people in the world who can truly see Estes's character.
He knew that this woman was not so narrow-minded, and while she was proficient in battle formation, her ability to see the overall situation was not weak at all, how could she make such a low-level mistake?
Unless Estes did it on purpose, she was happy to see the fall of the imperial capital, so she deliberately chose to watch from the sidelines.
This time bomb, which he couldn't fully control, was finally the last thing he wanted to see...... Exploded!
This bombing will blow up the mountains and rivers of the empire, and there will be no recovery!
Javier smiled self-deprecatingly.
If all this turned out to be his own expectation, he should probably put all his guilt and anger on Estes...... But is it really appropriate to do so?
Not to mention that even killing Estes now will not help, but will make the situation worse, Javier originally accepted Estes on the premise of knowing how dangerous Estes is, and Estes himself has never hidden this...... If you really want to count it, all of this is just Javier's self-inflicted evil.
Xavier originally thought that as long as he was there, he would definitely be able to restrain Estes and never let the situation get out of control.
But it turns out that he looked down on himself and underestimated Estes, he was not as strong as he imagined, otherwise he would not have been hit hard by the black knight, and Estes would not have suddenly changed her character and became obedient because she became her own woman, she has always hidden demons in her heart, bloodthirsty and crazy.
Now, there is no point in blaming Estes again, and Javier actually wants to laugh at the incompetent but incompetent self more than this...... In the final analysis, it was he who single-handedly contributed to all this, and what position does he have to blame? To be angry?
Thinking of this, Javier couldn't help but smile wryly.
Estes, you love-hate woman...... The next time we meet, what kind of attitude should I use towards you?
Not to mention the myriad things in Javier's mind, Chelsea had already quickly finished taking the medicine and began to help Javier rewind the bandage.
When did it start? That seed of love sprouted in the heart and thrives to this day? Chelsea doesn't remember anymore.
Maybe it's just because I've been watching from the side, watching the man in front of me be reckless in a clumsy way, constantly pushing myself, I feel at ease, and then I don't know it...... I couldn't take my eyes off him, for such a simple reason.
She didn't intend to fight for anything, nor did she intend to confess recklessly, after all, Seleuc's experience was there, and she didn't dare to gamble on the consequences of failure.
Just being able to stay by Javier's side like this was enough for Chelsea, who was never greedy.
The tent was still quiet, and time was ticking in their respective thoughts.
Chelsea wrapped the bandage, and then tied a thin knot at the end of the end, which was the final finishing touch.
Just then, the sound of footsteps outside the tent was clearly audible again, and in a few moments Najeta was seen open and entered.
The scene in the camp made Najeta obviously stunned, and her first reaction was that these two people should have something, and she subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Javier's eyes had already looked over, and he stretched out his hand to signal Najeta to sit down on the chair next to her.
Seeing that Javier didn't seem to care much, Najeta suppressed her gossip and sat down on the chair next to her.
Chelsea handed Javier a coat and saw him draped over before she stood up, then nodded politely to her former boss, and Najeta returned the salute.
Knowing that they would probably need to discuss something alone, Chelsea didn't plan to stay longer, but just told Javier to "come back later and clean up the dishes", and left the camp directly.
At this time, only Javier and Najeta were left in the tent, and after the two looked at each other calmly for a while, Javier took the lead and said, "Is there anything to find me, cousin?" ”
Najeta lowered her head and muttered for a while, as if sorting out her words, before she raised her head again, stared into Javier's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I'll get straight to the point...... The current situation in the empire is extremely bad, and the threat is far more than the revolutionary army, and you must know this better than me. ”
Javier nodded, agreeing with Najeta's statement, and waited for her to continue.
"And if you want to defeat the revolutionary army now entrenched in the imperial capital, you must have someone who can gather the remaining forces scattered throughout the empire and unify the maximum living forces...... Only by doing so can we have the strength to fight against the growing revolutionary army! ”
"What do you mean......"
Javier frowned slightly, and a vague thought rose in his heart.
Najeta's expression was resolute, and she said loudly: "I want you to become the new leader of the empire, to become a ...... Emperor! ”
