Chapter 505: The Sheep Dies, the Fox Sorrows
"Now, the 507 Guards are in our hands. Can we do something about it? β
Looking at the speedship in the distance, which was undergoing the handover procedure, a strange expression appeared on Chu Ming's face.
"No! Absolutely not, we are loyal to the Clan, and any resistance we make will become an excuse for those people, and then we will have a hard time arguing. Miss Fillier categorically denied Chu Ming's idea, and she stared at Chu Ming tightly, meaning not to let Chu Ming do anything out of line.
"No wonder!" Chu Ming smiled, he remembered the words of Marquis Lebei, and Marquis Lebei reminded him not to believe this daughter of his. Now it seems that the Marquis de l'Γbey's suggestion was right, that Mademoiselle Fillier was an absolute patriot, a person who believed in patriotism, and that such a person could hardly be changed.
"I think we should do something." Chief of Staff Cenarius, who had always been conservative, unexpectedly stood on Chu Ming's side, and he said slowly: "We handed over the information, but the loot was not handed over. General Pross has secured supplies, is he hinting at us something? β
"Impossible!" Miss Fillier said firmly: "I don't believe that there is no justice, we are innocent, and time will tell." β
"Time, cut-" Chu Ming said disdainfully: "A hundred years is still ten thousand years, history is history, and history books are history books." The innocent ashes are not something I want, and I don't want to be the one lying down when I sweep the tomb on Qingming Festival. β
"You!" Miss Fillier glared at Chu Ming angrily, and then muttered to herself, "Are you really a 'Seal Sect'?" β
"'Cultist'? I don't understand. β
Chu Ming didn't understand. However, he didn't have time to ask what was going on. Suddenly, a flame flashed in the distance, so sudden, so faint, like someone striking a match at dusk.
"This, this, this !!" Miss Fillier was stunned, she didn't know what to say.
"Confirm immediately, the general has something!" The chief of staff of Cenarius still kept his senses. He must know what this is for, and what happened to General Pross.
"Fool." Chu Ming sighed dejectedly, he tried to dissuade him, but General Pros still took this path. General Pross was a good soldier who would rather sacrifice himself than preserve his troops. Chu Ming always felt that this was not the only choice. So, he was equally surprised and regretful.
The restless 507 Guards calmed down much later. The restlessness of the 507 Guards unnerved the allies in the distance. Fortunately, at nightfall, the situation was under control. According to various confirmations, the speed ship that transferred power had a mechanical failure. One of the reactor's control panels conveyed incorrect instructions. Caused the reactor to overheat and explode. In the explosion, General Prolos and Co-Chairman Murphylin died at the same time. This news has been confirmed countless times. It has been reported to the top of the clan alliance. General Pross, who had been prominent for a time and was both wise and brave, died like this, and there was no sense of grandeur except for the explosion. This is difficult for many to accept.
Miss Filler, who was overly grieved, was sent for treatment. Chu Ming and Chief of Staff Cenarius stayed, they are now the commanders of the 507 Guards, and they have to clean up the mess.
"Actually, I guessed it."
"Actually, I guessed it."
Two people who had been tired from the day sat across from each other. Said the same thing.
"What a situation!" Chief of Staff Cenarius sighed: "The general had to do this, and Speaker Sylvanas of the House of Lords has been impeached and removed from office in order to protect him." The stakes were too great, including threats to the general's friends and family, and he had no choice. β
"Character issues." Chu Ming shook his head: "General Pros is too rational, so rational that even his own life can be measured. He believed that his life was lighter than that of the entire 507 Guards, so, he made a choice. β
"It's a pity I didn't try to persuade him. I persuaded him, thinking he agreed. Chief of Staff Cenarius said. For a while, old tears were rampant.
"If you can't persuade it, I've tried it too." Chu Ming remained motionless. The expression is the same calm. He respected General Pros, a strong man with a great personality. But Chu Ming didn't agree with this way, out of respect for the deceased, Chu Ming didn't care about the good or bad of this behavior.
Chief of Staff Cenarius gently wiped away his tears and said slowly: "I will go and convince Filler, she has been with the general for a long time, and it was the general who saved her life." So, it's up to us here. β
"Yes, we all know what General Dopros thinks, and now we should do something, what do you think?" Chu Ming threw the sadness behind him, but he was even more excited, he promised that he had to do it. Otherwise, the death of General Pross would have been a joke.
"You're too radical, not at all like a 'Seal Cultist.'" Chief of Staff Cenarius is also controlling his emotions, he is very old and has experienced more things, so, he can't be emotional for too long, he must understand Chu Ming, because Chu Ming, he and Miss Filier will be the commanders of the 507 Guards, and if the three of them can't reach a trust, the 507 Guards will be scattered.
"'Cultist'? What is that? Chu Ming asked rhetorically.
"Do you deny it?"
"No, I just want to know what you're talking about?" Chu Ming felt that this matter was a bit weird, so he didn't deny it immediately.
"I know that people like you will not admit it, and ascetics should abandon all titles and titles, including the term 'Seal Sect'."
"Well, tell me what you think of that 'Seal Cultist'."
"Of course, I should also say that at least I want you to understand that I respect your faith, but I don't want you to use this as a place for you to expand your followers."
"Okay, I understand, please tell me."
ββ¦β¦β
Cenarius's inquiry solved many of Chu Ming's doubts. Chu Ming was satisfied with this identity, however, he was full of interest in the Shen Lan Divine Sect, he didn't know if there were any cultivation methods in this religion that were beneficial to him, he had made a big leap in the spiritual level, but his physical condition had not been able to improve. Therefore, Chu Ming was looking forward to having some contact with this religion.
"Well, I promise you. However, I need power. After the Chief of Staff of Cenarius finished speaking, Chu Ming made a request.
"Power?! You 'Cultists' need power. β
"Yes, because I promised General Pross that I want to fulfill my promise, I must have power."
"Oh. yes, I see, there's no problem at all. Today I am exhausted, and Miss Fillier has not recovered, so tomorrow the troops will be in your command. β
Chief of Staff Cenarius said generously. He affirmed Chu Ming's identity, and then he needed to understand Chu Ming's ability again, and it didn't matter if he handed over the command for a day. If Chu Ming is too much. It can also be stopped in time. Will Chief of Staff of Cenarius regret or be relieved by his decision? β¦β¦
The status of the 507 Guards is a bit awkward now. Saying that they are heroes, there are those who oppose them; Saying that they were traitors, the accidental death of General Pross made it impossible for the military to investigate deeply. The death of a scapegoat who has not yet been convicted is a headache for many. Because there could be no more suitable scapegoat.
General Prows was too sane to do enough foreshadowing before he died. The military promised at the time of the transfer of power. The 507 Guards Staff was in charge of the troops, and this equity did not allow the military to change its tune immediately. The forces behind General Pross have not fallen, nor will they tolerate the pressure of their opponents, and now the moderates, led by Speaker Sylvanas of the House of Lords, are moving around, and the idea of the death of the fox has united this party. They must fight back, and they cannot let the fate of General Pros fall on them.
The Phyrexian Archons of the Borgeti League are all big, and the insect tide is still raging. The New Kane Ethnic League is pressing forward step by step, and the political struggle within the Ethnic League is in full swing again. In the end, he had to solve the problem with a quick knife. -- Maintain the status quo and not blame the past.
What is the status quo of maintaining the status quo and not blaming the military for what to do? The status quo was that the 507 Guards were on their own, and they left without hesitation. Heading in the direction of the New Kane League. No one knows if they are going to defect or not, and perhaps some people want them to defect. In this way, everyone will be able to speak.
No one dared to refuse them, the 507 Guards applied for a large number of supplies, this request almost stripped off a layer of skin from the nearby 772 Group Army, the 772 Group Army's General Nessa still remembers it vividly, the weak little old man Tian shamelessly made this request, and threatened that "if there is no supply, the 507 Guards who have lost their supplies can only merge with you." My men have brought them all, without any weapons, you take them. β
Merge! Reception! - What are you kidding, General Nessa didn't dare to touch this hot potato. When he saw the 507 Guards disappear into the sky, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the 507 Guards were no one's troops, and he didn't know when the high-level leaders of the Dao Clan Alliance would think of them again.
"What are we going to do without provisions?"
The seventh day, the seventh day when Chu Ming was authorized. Chief of Staff Cenarius couldn't help but ask. Although Chu Ming's method was very scoundrel, it won benefits for the 507 Guards, so Chu Ming's authorization was not withdrawn for a long time. Miss Fillier has not yet recovered, and the only person who can restrain Chu Ming here is Chief of Staff Cenarius.
"How long is Channel 314?" Chu Ming asked another question rhetorically.
"Not long, about 16 light years."
"How many administrative stars are there?"
"Well, thisβabout 900." The chief of staff of Cenarius recalled, and the answer was vague. Passage 314 is indeed a remote passageway.
"Then how many warships do we have in the 507 Guards?"
"Now - 297 capital ships, including 21 aircraft carriers, 388 auxiliary ships, and 623 other ships." The Chief of Staff of Cenarius answered with precision, and he could even name the number of people and combat effectiveness of each battleship.
"yes, that's not much. With so many administrative stars, can't they still support our troops? Chu Ming said, his eyes flashing with confidence.
"What do you mean?"
"That's right! We must gain a foothold in Passage 314 and survive until the Clan remembers us. Rely on our own strength! β
"What are you going to do?" Chief of Staff Cenarius asked substantive questions.
"Fighting."
"War?"
