Chapter 194: The General Defects
Therefore, it is unfortunate that Nicholas, who had not made any mistakes in tactical command, had to be pulled down for a reason that could not be called obscure, and became the person responsible for this incident.
Although he was not immediately stripped of his military post and was not transferred to a military court for trial, there is no doubt that Nicholas's military career has come to an end, and not only is there no hope of reinstatement, but even he, who is already an idler, is not allowed to take half a step out of the northern military camp, and has to stay here all the time to listen to orders.
As for what it meant to stay in the northern camp and listen to orders, the comrades who supported and sympathized with Nicholas did not want to think about it, and the enemy, who wished that he would be completely defeated, began to imagine it as soon as the news spread. Either they were completely deprived of their high-ranking status as officers and rushed back to their hometowns to enjoy the treatment of any officers, or they were handed over to military courts, prosecuted for dereliction of duty, ineffective combat and other crimes, and finally imprisoned, spending the rest of their lives in prison.
Anyway, the decision-maker of this decision, His Majesty of the Empire, Jason, left easily after inspecting Neo City, and secretly returned to Noqi City under the escort of a group of elite soldiers, leaving only many officers and soldiers to discuss.
When Lynsey heard the news at first glance, she could hardly believe her ears. But the facts were there, and the decision was promulgated by the king of a country himself, which could not be faked, and he was very upset for his uncle, and then he was so angry in his chest that he couldn't stop kicking the ground, and he wanted to rush out of the legion to catch up with Jason and his party, and ask Jason why he did this.
He didn't believe that he would be wrong about Jason, even if Jason was the biggest king, his cultivation of thick black science had reached the extreme, and the depth of the city was not inferior to that of Limanghai. A mature politician with strong governing ability, a good king who is sympathetic to his people, would blame the best generals of the empire for an irreversible defeat with an untenable or even somewhat despicable excuse?
But the iron-clad facts in front of him made him believe that he had indeed looked away, and it also made him no longer have a good impression of Jason, but a lot of disgust and hatred.
Almost everyone in the army was talking about this matter openly or secretly, and there was only one topic, but the things derived seemed to be endless, which made these soldiers who had no combat mission for a while talk about it.
The party to the incident, Nicholas was the calmest, no longer interfering in the reconstruction of Neo City, and did not complain, but just entered his room, and only came out once for a long time, and occasionally talked with the old superiors and new subordinates who came to visit, and seemed to accept this decision and was willing to be an idler.
Lynsey did not go to his uncle, believing that the uncle who knew the most about the matter would find an opportunity to tell him what had happened.
Naya didn't pick Lynsey's thorn in front of him for a while, nor did he use a knife on Lynsey behind his back, but he was very proud because he saw the downfall of Nicholas and witnessed another exertion of the family's super energy.
A few days ago, the patriarch of the Ryan family, the Minister of the Interior, Thomas, who had been in touch, suddenly told himself that in addition to the commander of the Western Army, Auhuimans, Lynsey had a closer relationship in the army, and the former head of the Heavy Knights Regiment, the current supreme governor of Neo City, Nicholas, was actually Lynsey's uncle!
Naya immediately expanded the scope of the hostility and aimed the spearhead of the struggle at the two of them. In his opinion, it is naturally more powerful to overthrow Linsey, and if he does not overthrow Nicholas first, Linsey will continue to stay in the army because of his protection, continue to be prestigious, and continue to be promoted.
Therefore, he immediately reported to Thomas that he was going to make a big fuss about the battle of Neo City, the patriarch obviously had this idea for a long time, and only easily told him to wait for the news, and then concentrate on dealing with Lynsey with all his strength, but he didn't expect that Nicholas, who had commanded thousands of troops and fought fiercely, was pulled off his horse so soon, to say that there was no participation in Thomas's super energy, Naya was the first to disbelieve it.
Just as Naya was in the office thinking about how to further defeat the lone Lynsey, Nicholas approached Lynsey.
"Uncle, has the matter really reached the point of no return?" Lynsey wanted to ask the question the most.
Nicholas's face remained calm, and he didn't speak, but nodded his head to extinguish the only hope left in Linsey's heart.
Afterwards, Nicholas said: "Don't worry about me, and don't resent Your Majesty Jason, Linsey, you must know that to oppose the lord of a country is to oppose the whole state apparatus, and this must be remembered. As for me, at best, I have been deprived of my official position, a soldier, everything is about the country, and I am honored by how many enemies I have killed and how much I have been able to defend my home and country.
After being tempered outside, Lin Xi was no longer as ignorant as he was at the beginning, and seeing that things were no longer just superficial, he still said worriedly: "But I heard that the empire will have follow-up actions against you, uncle, and I heard that you may be handed over to a military court for trial." Needless to say, the driving force behind this is definitely Thomas of the Lane family. In order to deal with me, you have been humiliated by your uncle for no reason. ”
"Treat it as such!" Nicholas smiled instead, "One honor and one disgrace cannot mean anything, this is only a temporary testimony, and it is not a final word." Lin Xi, no matter what happens to your uncle in the future, you will continue to live as strong as ever and become a real supreme martial artist, you know?"
Lynsey suddenly felt a wave of sadness for no apparent reason. Is my uncle's words a parting message? It seems that there is more to it than that. But when he looked up and found that his uncle's face was still full of ravines, he felt that he had a delusion, or that he was simply overly worried.
"There's nothing you can't overcome, and neither can my uncle. Lynsey, you don't have to worry about me about this. Okay, that's it, remember, keep being yourself, work towards your goals, don't be bothered by the outside world, and don't let the outside world control you. Nicholas stood up, smiled at Lindsey, and turned away.
Leaving Lin Xi with a tall and firm back that will never be forgotten at all.
For the next week, Lynsey never saw her uncle come to the city to look for her. During this period, the discussion about Nicholas gradually subsided, and everything looked like the same, except that there was one less excellent general to continue to lead the troops to fight.
But then, the Northern Legion, which had just calmed down, exploded in the clear sky, shaking the entire legion, even no less than a super earthquake erupted, and this time, it was still related to Nicholas!
No one could have guessed that General Nicholas, who had lived half his life on the Iron Horse, had defected!
