Chapter Eighty-Seven: Change
ββ¦β¦ That's how it happened. β
In the conference room of the garrison, Jolly was recounting the resolution of the day to Javier, who frowned and pondered, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.
"I don't know why, but I always have a sense of foreboding in my heart." Jolly recalled the strange expression of the courtier, and said cautiously, "The origin of these new dangerous species is unknown, no matter what, you must be careful." β
"I will." Javier nodded slightly, "Although this is just my intuition, I think this incident should have a lot to do with the minister...... However, there is no point in simply guessing, and if you want to find out the whole thing, you still have to go to the scene to investigate. β
Javier has always been a resolute character, and what he decides will inevitably be completed as quickly as possible. So as soon as the news from this side was delivered, he already had plans to leave.
After sorting out the known information in his mind, he speculated that he would probably fight against a large number of new dangerous species, and he didn't plan to go reckless with a person who was full of food, so after thinking about it, he decided to bring a few subordinates.
"Arowen, Marika, Seleuc, and Spia, you come with me, Will and Lan are in charge of staying in the imperial capital." Javier selected a few people, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened, "The long-lost crusade mission, the enemy is an unknown new dangerous species, all prepare me for battle!" β
"Yes!" Several people whose names were read said in unison.
Unlike rumors from the outside world, Xavier is not a strict boss, and the communication between him and his subordinates has always been quite casual, but once he enters the working state, the awe-inspiring momentum will naturally emanate, and the few people who were swept by his gaze subconsciously straightened their backs, like pacesetters standing at the front of the parade.
Looking at Javier's solid back, Jolly's old face showed a look of relief, he had seen Javier's most depressed period, when the blow of Rect's killing almost made him collapse, but fortunately this kid survived, and then completely surpassed them with a momentum.
"Rector ......," he muttered in a low voice, "you can rest assured in Heaven, and see how much this child looks like you once were...... Confident and courageous, move forward bravely, what you didn't do back then, I believe he will do it for you. β
The dead are gone, but only faith will be passed on, and this is what the survivors should do.
"Then Captain, I wish you a smooth journey." Lan said with a smile.
"What a pity." Will looked regretful, "I was originally interested in this new group of dangerous species......"
"There is also a need to leave a certain garrison force in the imperial capital." Javier said, "I'm not very relieved by Lan alone. β
"What about me, what about me?" Chelsea pointed to herself, "What should I do?" β
"Huh? So you're here. Javier glanced at her, "A war scumbag like you can stay in the imperial capital and play soy sauce as usual." β
"Goo...... Angry! β
A big cross suddenly appeared on Chelsea's forehead, and her plain white palm clenched into a fist, wanting to go crazy, but considering the absolute difference in combat power between the two, she could only swallow this breath unwillingly.
"Chelsea, why don't you help me with the copywriting work of the garrison." Lan smiled and rounded, "You seem to be very experienced in this area. β
"Uh-huh, no problem, leave it to me!"
Chelsea nodded repeatedly, and quietly gave him a middle finger in a place where Javier couldn't see, and Lan couldn't help but laugh.
"Unlike a bad-hearted Captain S, Lan, you're really a good person." Chelsea said.
"Uh...... Thank you. β
Unexpectedly received a good person card, Lan's mood was suddenly a little delicate, but he was also a winner in life with a lover, and he adjusted his mood after a while.
"If there are no other problems, then dissolve on the spot." Javier said, "Assemble your gear for the mission and assemble at Alfred in thirty minutes!" β
After nodding to the old gentleman Jolly, Javier took the lead and left, followed by the other named members.
"Then Father, I'll go and go back." Sibia said.
"Be careful." Jolly said.
"Hmm."
-
Outside the imperial capital, a wide moat runs around the city, and on top of the tall granite walls, soldiers stand here every other distance.
They were all armoured, all equipped with large swords and round shields, and their expressions were resolute between their eyebrows, frozen there like stubborn nailsβthey were the guardians, and they existed here as the first line of defense of the imperial capital.
At the four corners of the city wall, there are four more towering watchtowers, standing on which the line of sight is open, and the radius of ten miles is unobstructed.
Suddenly, a wind rose and whirled by, as if it had come to the highest heavens.
The soldiers searched for prestige, only to see a black shadow rising into the sky, carrying a gale and disturbing the atmosphere, speeding through the sky at an extremely terrifying speed, and then disappearing.
From the appearance of the black shadow to its disappearance in the sky, the whole process took only a few seconds, but there were still many sharp-eyed soldiers who could see the general outline of the black shadow - black scales, hideous claws, arrogant bat wings, and huge body, it was a monster that could give people great terror!
"The ...... that just flew over It's a dragon, right? β
One soldier said uncertainly, thinking he was hallucinating.
"yes." The soldier next to him responded, "You are new here, I don't know, it's General Javier's mount, I heard it's a super dangerous species...... The general will sometimes fly out on it like this when he is on official duty, and it is not a difficult thing to meet, and you will get used to it slowly. β
"Shhh What do you say? That dragon is super ......," the soldier gasped.
He was frightened by the name of the super dangerous species, and for ordinary soldiers, that level of existence was a calamity that walked on the earth, and the only thing that could be associated with it was death, destruction, and nightmares.
At the thought of such a dangerous thing flying over his head just now, he suddenly felt a chill rush from the center of his feet to the heavenly inspiration, and his whole heart was cold.
"Isn't it super dangerous? Fuss. β
Seeing his colleague's performance like this, the soldier who replied suddenly had a sense of superiority, and his words were a little more pretentious.
"Let me tell you, another young general of the Empire, General Estes, is also a super dangerous species, I remember it is a red dragon with silver horns, and it breathes fire......"
When he said this, his voice suddenly stopped, as if someone had choked his throat with his hand, and he couldn't spit out a word.
The previous soldier looked at him suspiciously, and saw that his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were staring in a certain direction in a daze, with a hellish expression.
Looking at his gaze, a dazzling ice blue immediately appeared in front of the soldier's eyes, and a beautiful woman in military uniform stood on the city wall not far from them, and the long wind blew her hair, adding a bit of charm and charm to this woman full of magical beauty.
"Ai ...... General Estes! β
With a casual wave of his hand, ignoring the two soldiers who had lost their temper at her arrival, Estes just looked up at the distant sky, where Javier had disappeared.
"Already gone? Really, I wanted to remind him. β
A hint of annoyance flashed in Estes's eyes, as if he was complaining that Javier left without even saying hello to her, which made her have no time to say anything when she just got the news.
"The minister wants to play real this time, if you are not careful, even you may capsize in the gutter." She muttered in a low voice, "But you are the man I fancie, this predicament should not be difficult for you, and you are not allowed to lose to the minister." β
Having said such a thing, however, there was still some worry in my heart.
This is not an emotion that should be present to her.
What she believes in is the law of the jungle of "the strong survive and the weak die", and the dead guy is just because of his own lack of strength, that's all.
If Javier had died under the Chancellor's plot, it would only prove that he was nothing more than a man of this level.
That's how it should be.
But how to explain the burning passion of "I don't want him to die" burning in my chest?
Estes placed his hand on the demon pattern on his chest, and the expression on his face was somewhat intriguing.
"It's all your fault, Javier." She whispered, "It's all because of you that I'm so weird...... When you get back, you'll have to listen to my complaints. β
