As soon as he mentioned Dawn City, the past was vivid, and Luo Wei also found that he hadn't been back there for a long, long time, so he subconsciously asked, "How is Dawn City doing?" ”

"Huh? Haven't you heard? The three Grand Dukes transferred from North America settled in the condominium area, and one of them, the Grand Duke of Invid, went to Dawn City. John ate the rest of the hamburger, took a sip of Coke, and said slowly, "It's been like that lately, expanding, reforming, training the cube team, that... What's it called, the 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' of the Dawn Defense... Oh yes, Arnold, didn't he captain the Dawn team two years ago? ”

"Yes, I know." This was all information that Luo Wei already knew, and he hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "What kind of person is Grand Duke Invid?" ”

"It's a typical iron-fisted character, strict punishment, but also clear rewards and punishments, not necessarily a good person, but a good ruler." John remembered something, leaned in front of Luo Wei, and said in a low voice, "But his son is disgusting, this guy..."

Before John could finish his sentence, the door of the dining room opened, and a man with long hair and a bearded beard entered, dressed in a brigadier general's uniform, but with an additional robe emblazoned with the family emblem.

The political ecology of the Federation is different from that of the old era, when the consortium controlled politics, and after entering the Honkai Era, the commander-in-chief Agronso took sole power, but for the sake of political stability, he used the title system to canonize a series of families and stabilize the power established from the ruins.

The largest of these is undoubtedly the three Grand Dukes, who have independent domains, armies, and are in principle subject to the leadership of Agronso, but enjoy a high degree of freedom in political power.

A brigadier general from a grand ducal family is definitely not the same concept as a brigadier general from a commoner family, just like Agoronso's only daughter, Novena, although she is a brigadier general, her actual status is no less than that of the three grand dukes.

The man who walked into the restaurant at this time, judging from the robe with the family logo, should belong to the Inved family, one of the three princes.

As soon as John saw this man, he immediately cursed: "Damn it! As he spoke, the man came. ”

In the cafeteria, the Federation soldiers who were eating stood up one after another, facing the man who walked in, and saluted the standard Union military salute.

John grabbed Claudia's hand and said, "Claudia, help me up." ”

Claudia put her arm around John's shoulders and tried to pull him out of his wheelchair, but before John could fully stand still, the man came up behind John, touched his long beard, and said slowly, "Put him down, Claudia, I won't force a disabled person to salute me." ”

Before Claudia could react, John propped himself up on the table, propped himself up, gave the man a military salute with a blank face, and said lightly, "Brigadier General Patch." ”

"Don't turn your palms too far out, and raise your arms a little higher." John's salute was inevitably deformed because his legs were unchanged, and Patch tossed John's arm like a toy, and it took him a long time before he said, "Well, it looks much more comfortable this way." ”

John stood for too long, his legs were a little unbearable, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still asked calmly, "Brigadier General Patch, may I sit down?" ”

"No, you stand, the standard military salute is the most basic requirement, this is not good, how can you be the assistant to the commander-in-chief?" Patch took a step back, looked up and down at John, who was shivering, and said casually, "Stand for half an hour, just train hard, you can even break through the Arctic Crisis, this will definitely not be difficult for you." ”

Seeing that John was sweating more and more on his forehead and couldn't hold it anymore, Claudia walked over silently and put her arms around his shoulders, wanting him to lean on himself and share a little pressure.

But who knows, Patch walked over slowly, took Claudia's arm, and said lightly: "John is a man, just let him do this little thing himself." Miss Claudia, is the training hard? I know Brigadier General Brünnhilde, commander of the First Valkyrie Brigade, so let's go for a walk with me and talk about your promotion? ”

Although Claudia and John shined in the Far North crisis, there is still a big gap in status with the heirs of such big families, and they dare not and cannot contradict Patch, otherwise they may face some bad consequences.

In addition, Claudia is more introverted, and she doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so she can only lean close to John and not say a word.

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to go, but I'm afraid of the amount of training you're going to do next..."Patch suddenly froze halfway through speaking, looked at the figure sitting and eating on the other side of the table, and squinted and asked, "Wait, why didn't you stand up and salute me?" ”

Now in the entire cafeteria, all the Union soldiers, including the cook, and even the disabled John, stood to salute Patche, and only Locho was still sitting there eating, treating Patch as if he were nothing.

Luo Wei finished the hamburger in his hand, drank the coke again, wiped his hands with wet wipes, and asked casually, "What are you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly stiffened, and one of the guards even wanted to come up to teach Luo Wei a lesson, but Patch stopped him, raised his head and smiled briefly, and said in a condescending tone: "The Grand Duke of Invid family of North America, the chief graduate master of the military academy, the son of the ruler of Dawn City, and the brigadier general of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps, Patch." ”

"Got it, your name is Patch." Luo Wei directly ignored the litany of titles.

"My father participated in the suppression of rebels in North America, won more than 20 victories, and became the commander-in-chief of the Songjiang Battle in the third year of Honkai, annihilating more than 400,000 Republican Hui troops, and his achievements are innumerable." Patch kept telling his father, Archduke Invid, about his exploits, as if all had happened to him, and finally leaned over to look at Luo Wei and said lightly, "What about your father?" ”

Luo Wei said silently: "My father was an ordinary person, and in order to protect me, he died in the first year of the collapse. ”

Patch smiled contemptuously, "This is often the end of the common family. ”

Luo Wei glanced up at Patch, his eyes fell on his beautiful beard, Luo Wei pointed to his beard, and said lightly, "Your beard reminds me of one of the Oathbreakers, Blackbeard Richard." ”

Patch said nonchalantly, "Oh? What's going on with you? ”

Luo Wei said calmly: "Richard has the same beard as you, and I look very uncomfortable, so I broke the bridge of his nose." ”

One of Patch's guards drew his slinger from his waist and said viciously, "No one can threaten the brigadier." ”

"Bang!" Without warning, Rocco grabbed Patch's beard and pressed his head into the pile of leftover hamburgers on the table, pulling out the black flare with his other hand and pressing it against his head.

Ignoring Patch's struggles and the stunned eyes of the guards, Luo Wei pulled Hei Yao's clasp, put his finger on the trigger, and said with a sneer: "To answer my question, how much is your brigadier general's life worth?" ”
