Chapter 173: Rivalry (2)
I was worried that I didn't have a chance to embarrass Carl, but Carl was so bold! Seeing that Emperor Caesar didn't have the consciousness to bow and salute!
Suddenly, the eldest prince sneered, and when everyone had not yet spoken, he directly took the lead and scolded:
"Bold! Why didn't you salute Emperor Caesar? ”
Hearing the eldest prince's scolding, Arthur on the side frowned directly, and at this time, he also found that Karl was standing in place in a daze, without the slightest intention of saluting Julius Caesar!
"Oh no, I forgot to remind Carl that you must salute when you see Emperor Caesar......" Arthur stood in place with an ugly face, he never thought that he would ignore such an extremely crucial detail!
The four old men sitting on the throne did not react at all, especially Emperor Caesar, who did not show any angry expression at this time, but looked at Karl with interest.
At this time, he was also very curious about what choice Karl would make after being so scolded by the eldest prince.
Will he obediently apologize and bow again, or will he continue to maintain his high posture?
I don't know why, I am used to seeing those respectful people, and now Emperor Caesar suddenly feels that people like Karl who are unwilling to salute seem even more valuable!
Even now, Emperor Caesar suddenly hoped that Karl would not give up his insistence and just keep it like this......
Karl didn't know what Emperor Caesar was thinking, but he resisted the reprimand of the eldest prince from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately, he was completely prepared before he came.
With a hint of a sneer, he said without squinting: "The laws of the empire stipulate that the War Spirit Warrior belongs to a privileged class, and the War Spirit Warrior is not restricted by any other requirements except for the position and mission requirements. ”
Speaking of this, Karl turned his head to look at the eldest prince with great disdain, and said with a sympathetic expression: "This is something that every 'War Spirit Warrior' knows, so ...... Even if I see Emperor Caesar and do not bow and salute, according to the laws of the Empire, I am completely innocent! ”
After finishing speaking, Karl gave a solemn military salute to Emperor Caesar, and then lowered his arm very hard to express his dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, the eldest prince, after Carl said that, he was even more angry, his face was flushed, if it weren't for the presence of so many people at the scene, he would definitely not let Carl go easily!
The reason why he was so excited was because Carl's words deeply pierced the pain point in his heart.
In particular, Carl also said the four words "War Spirit Warrior" extremely loudly, which pointed to the eternal pain in the heart of the eldest prince.
The reason for all this is that his biological father, Emperor Caesar, is a warrior with a sword of war, but his own son, the eldest prince, is an ordinary person without a spirit of war!
That's right, although with the power of the royal family, it is not difficult to find a war spirit to inherit for the eldest prince.
But for Emperor Caesar, as the strongest phantom god-level war spirit warrior in the entire Gamma Empire, his son turned out to be an ordinary person!
At this point, Emperor Caesar couldn't accept it in his heart! As for searching for other war spirits to inherit, it was just a means of not entering the stream, and he would not accept it.
So the eldest prince is now nearly 30 years old, and he can only maintain the identity of an ordinary person. However, he is an orthodox heir to the royal family, even if he is an ordinary person, he can rightfully inherit the throne of Emperor Caesar.
However, until the day Arthur appeared, the world of the Great Prince changed completely.
Arthur's golden greatsword, whether it is the spirit attribute or the weapon of the spirit of war, is infinitely close to the sword of the king of Emperor Caesar.
And Arthur's Golden Sword Spirit has an even louder title of War Spirit: the Dawn Sword!
In this way, because the eldest prince is an ordinary person, even if Arthur's background is not very orthodox, he is still deeply loved by Emperor Caesar.
This is the War Spirit Warrior, even in the royal family, it is the War Spirit Warrior who is even more favored by Emperor Caesar!
So what Karl said just now was not only looking for a basis for himself according to the laws of the empire, but also satirizing the eldest prince, an ordinary person.
Because of these things, only the Battle Spirit Warrior knows, and the eldest prince doesn't know, just because he is an ordinary person......
Looking at the angry prince, Arthur showed a wanton smile, Carl, this guy, really won my heart!
Just when the scene was about to slowly get out of control, Emperor Caesar suddenly laughed.
Although his voice was old enough, it still made everyone at the scene hear it clearly.
The crowd, which had been a little commotion just now, quickly quieted down at this time, leaving only Emperor Caesar, who had been laughing.
After laughing a few times, Emperor Caesar said with a smile: "Sergeant Karl, you are right, those words just now are the words written on the Battle Spirit Warrior Handbook. ”
After finishing speaking, Emperor Caesar swept his gaze downwards and calmly ordered: "Pass my order, and when the warriors of the war spirit meet me in the future, they can all be without saluting!" ”
"Roger!"
The crowd replied in unison. At this time, they all looked at Karl's back curiously.
This kid, how long has he been here, and he has directly changed the rules of the Imperial Palace for so many years!
And can it make Emperor Caesar change so easily? What an amazing boy......
The eldest prince could only echo helplessly at this time, he wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Carl, how could he have thought of it, but he lifted a stone to hit himself in the foot, which was really bitter......
After finishing the order, Emperor Caesar looked at Karl with a little appreciation in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Sergeant Karl, if I'm not mistaken, you should be awakened at the title level at the moment, right?" ”
"Yes!" Karl replied in a voice.
"Very good, according to the previous information, after you inherited the war spirit of Corporal Dark, until now, a total of no more than 6 months. During this period of time, you have directly been promoted from the initial war spirit to the title level and awakened once, and this promotion speed is indeed the first person in the Gamma Empire! ”
After Emperor Caesar finished speaking, the people present all let out one exclamation after another, they were not ordinary people with no eyesight.
They are all clear about the difficulty of the promotion of the War Spirit Warrior! And Carl's direct completion of a promotion above a large level in less than half a year is no longer complete with the word genius.
Listening to the discussion of the crowd around him, Carl was neither humble nor arrogant and still stood in place. He has experienced many life-and-death struggles, and this kind of scene is really trivial.
I have even experienced life and death, how can I affect my mood swings because of ordinary things?
On this point, Arthur can't do it, the eldest prince can't do it, and only battle-hardened warriors can be as easy as Carl.
Emperor Caesar had been observing the change in Karl's expression, and his appreciation for Karl had become higher and higher.
With a calm personality, neither humble nor arrogant, full of talent, he is simply an impeccable young man!
At this time, Emperor Caesar began to continue: "After participating in the Imperial Sword, you have been active on the battlefield with the Zeg Zerg, and you have made countless achievements, ranging from saving the entire battlefield situation to solving the security risks of the fortress......"
"Sergeant Karl, you are the only non-commissioned officer-level warrior with such a good performance in so many years!"
Karl still looked at Emperor Caesar without squinting, but his heart was a little impatient.
What's the use of saying so much, hurry up and give me all the rewards that should be given, so I can go to the title recognition!
However, Emperor Caesar was unwilling to let go of Karl, and after listing Karl's exploits one by one, he began to call on the soldiers of the whole country to learn from Karl.
For this kind of fearless spirit of daring to sacrifice and bravely facing the Zeg Zerg, it is worth promoting to the whole country.
At the same time, the military mobilization of the entire Gamma Empire began to be arranged, and the readiness of the reserve was already in place.
At present, when a large number of soldiers are being lost on the front line, the recruitment and training of reserve forces must keep up with the steps perfectly.
None of this was what Carl was concerned about at the moment, and finally, just when Karl was about to fall asleep, Emperor Caesar changed his mind and returned to Carl again.
"So...... Sergeant Carl, what reward do you want me to give you? According to your current military exploits, whether it is the promotion of military rank or the reward of wealth, you can mention it! ”
Carl was stunned when he heard this, what kind of routine is this? The reward given to me was actually to be raised by myself? Then if I say, you give me the throne, do you really give it!
But of course, no matter how stupid Carl is, he will not say such a brain-like thing, he pondered for a while, but still there is no clear plan.
In desperation, he could only cast his eyes on Arthur on the side, but saw that Arthur's eyes swept in other directions at this time, but the hands on both sides of his body did not stop.
One hand makes an upward pose, and the other hand has 3 fingers up.
Karl raised his eyebrows, this is telling himself, choose the sergeant, and three hundred, or three thousand, thirty thousand gold coins?
The number on wealth is too difficult to choose, but the sergeant rank can be determined! Karl was in a heart, and simply wanted a little bigger, so it was a big deal to let Emperor Caesar bargain on the spot!
So Karl looked up at Emperor Caesar, and said, "I hope that my king can reward his subordinates with the rank of second lieutenant and three million gold coins!" ”
The audience was in an uproar, and Arthur's eyes widened in disbelief, he never thought that Carl would dare to open his mouth like this!
Three million gold coins, that's not three hundred, or three thousand!
In the entire Gamma Empire, there are very few families with an annual income of more than 3,000 gold coins. But Carl, this guy, is three million gold coins as soon as he opens his mouth!
Is this the rhythm of eating and drinking for the rest of your life? Not to mention eating and drinking, even if Carl has Jiuchi Meat Forest in the second half of his life, I'm afraid he can use it until the second half of his life!
As for the rank of second lieutenant, it is even more outrageous!
A second lieutenant who is only 19 years old? The entire Gamma Empire can't find a second one, okay?
The eldest prince suddenly scolded unhappily on the side: "Boy, don't be too presumptuous! Your father doesn't give you the right to make demands, but you don't want to open your mouth! ”
Karl smiled indifferently, and he didn't even have the mood to look at the eldest prince, he was looking at Emperor Caesar from beginning to end, and only he could decide whether he could fulfill Karl's wishes.
With a funny smile, Emperor Caesar looked at Karl and said, "Sergeant Karl, you should know what three million gold coins and the rank of second lieutenant represent......"
After a pause, Emperor Caesar continued to look at Karl and said, "So I want to know why you made these two choices!" ”
Arthur on the side took a deep breath and looked at Carl very seriously. If Carl's answer to this question is good, then the matter is done.
However, if Karl did not answer well, not only would his wish not be fulfilled, but it would even leave a very bad influence on Emperor Caesar.
At that time, Arthur's camp will also be seriously affected, and it will affect the whole body. It's all on Carl!
