Chapter 61: Earl Sullivan
Among the several complexes in the outer city of the Lion City, the industrial area is the largest, the temple area is the most scattered, and the military area is the most special and solemn.
Occupy an area alone, far away from the surrounding buildings, with a high wall to isolate the inside and outside, there is a circle of trenches and bunkers outside the wall, several entrances and exits, are guarded by heavily armed soldiers, the bright leather armor is light and solid, the bright halberd points to the sky, and several strong men with strong weapons are fully equipped to guard the door, which is enough to bring great psychological pressure to the pedestrians around.
There are no pedestrians around at all, after all, no one wants to be stared at by a group of strong men all the way, so the military zone is empty, and compared to the outer city or even the entire Lion City, it seems to be a world of its own.
Follow the two leading soldiers into the towering wall, and inside the wall is another world.
The entire military zone is divided into different areas by several spacious school fields, each of which is the station of a different regiment. The headquarters of the three ace legions of the Jade Empire are all built here, and they don't need to know each other, and when you look at the three most magnificent stations, they must be the headquarters of the three major legions.
The weather was just right in the morning, and when I walked into the station of the Black Feather Legion, I could see groups of drill soldiers passing by from time to time, worthy of being the ace legion of the powerful empire, well-trained and well-behaved, even if I encountered the almost impossible strange thing of two little girls in the barracks, it could not attract their attention, and every soldier who passed by did not squint, as if they didn't see Lisa and Angela at all.
The body is strong and the momentum is strong, if it is an ordinary girl, seeing such a soldier passing by, I am afraid that she will be so shocked that she will not even dare to breathe, but it is a pity that these two little girls are not ordinary at all now.
Maybe gold-level powerhouses like Shuer and Lisa will still be suppressed by the number of these low-level soldiers and will be troubled by their momentum, but once their strength reaches the legendary level, except for the high-level powerhouses above the silver level, they will be a little more careful, and the rest of the creatures are just as weak as ants in their eyes, and they are not worth mentioning at all. Humans don't feel intimidated by the neatness of the ants' formation and physical strength, and the same goes for the legendary powerhouses, and no amount of ordinary soldiers and low-ranking officers disdain.
Just like Angela, although the clergy has the lowest attack ability among all professions, with Angela's strength, if she is fully firepowered, she can still leave leisurely after destroying half of the legion of thousands of people, and the number of soldiers in front of her is just a simple number, without any practical significance.
Of course, there are some gold-level and even legendary-level powerhouses within each country, and the more powerful the country, the more powerful the number is, like the Jade Empire, where Pavatiga can rank in the top five, and there are even four legendary powerhouses who belong to the royal family, and there are more than twenty gold-level powerhouses. These strong people, like the country's strategic reserves, will never be used lightly, but they are one of the fundamental reasons for the formation of today's strategic balance.
However, all nations, at least all human nations, have a similar rule, and almost no strong people above the gold rank serve in the army. This is not because strategic weapons cannot be easily used with such high-sounding rhetoric, the more powerful the weapons of war, the better, and the various forces are not idiots, such a powerful weapon, if there is no aftermath, of course, the more used the better.
However, those in power in various countries did not dare, whether it was an empire, a kingdom, a parliamentary state, or a state of the Order.
As long as you are an intelligent creature, you will inevitably have desires and desires, money, beautiful women, luxurious life, and ...... Power. The various forces recruit these powerful men to work for them, relying on their desires and desires, giving them most of what they want, however, military power is an absolute exception.
Having the top and super strong join the army is never a smart choice.
It is already clear what the consequences of holding the unquenchable power itself and then the military power that represents violence will be. Therefore, except for the group of orcs who believe in the god of war on the grassland, it is already a tacit rule that the top powerhouses do not grant military positions, not between countries, but between the regimes and the strong, they can assist and hire, but sorry, there is no military position and military power.
Therefore, no matter how imposing the military zone is, it is only for ordinary people, and there is no pressure on gold and legendary powerhouses, of course, it is impossible for the strong to make trouble in the military zone, otherwise once the strong men enshrined by the state are introduced, no one will be injured, but if anyone is injured, it may be a big melee involving half of Pavatiga, and that is the outcome that no one wants to see.
"Here we are, please go here. "Guarding the scene of the fire to spread the word, and taking the three people into the military area, are the two elite soldiers of the Black Feather Legion, the elite naturally has the arrogance of the elite, even in the face of the gold-level powerhouse, there is no stage fright at all, as for Angela, the legendary master, there is no legend in the Dark Moon Temple.
"Suddenly a little jealous. Shuer didn't seem to feel the faint hostility of the two soldiers at all, and looked at the building in front of him that was deliberately designed to create a majestic and oppressive momentum, "How about using such a luxurious building as a headquarters, there are no cracks in the walls, no rat passages in the corners, and no holes in the windows, tsk, how about our temple move to the Emerald Empire?"
"Brother!" Lisa rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Forget it, it is estimated that the Jade Empire is not willing to build a temple for us in vain, it's a pity. Smiling gently at the soldier, Shul led the two girls into the icy building.
Mechanization, this is the first impression of the three people after they come in, concise, efficient, all rooms are the same specifications, the same layout, even the distance between the doors, are accurate to the millimeter, if it is used as a barracks of course it is normal, but this is the office of the high-rises, but it also creates this effect, it will inevitably attract attention.
It wasn't until I reached the top floor that I had a little novelty, at least the room was much larger than the floors below, after all, this was the office of several high-ranking commanders of the Black Feather Legion, of course, it couldn't be the same as an ordinary officer.
"Dangdang dang", the knock on the door was short and rhythmic, and the soldier leading the way said loudly at the door, "Report to the regimental commander, the man has been brought." ”
"I see. The voice in the room was rough and powerful, and although each sentence was concise and short, it ended in an accentuated tone, giving people an unmistakable feeling, "Your mission is done, go back." ”
"Yes. The two soldiers didn't even look at the three of them, turned around with neat and powerful movements, and left the three of them outside the door.
"Heh,Since the hero is busy and doesn't have time to pay attention to us.,Then those of us who are guests should simply take the initiative.。 Shul winked strangely at Lisa, pushed open the door and walked in, "It can be regarded as saving a little time for the master, lest the master accuse us of being uninteresting, right, Earl Sullivan." ”
"Presumptuous. Suddenly there was a shout from the room, "Who allowed you to come in?" I don't know the rules at all, and trespassing without an order is regarded as disobedience. ”
Surprised, perhaps not unexpected, Lyman Sullivan was not alone in the room, except for the middle-aged man who was sitting at his desk and looking down at something, there were two young men under thirty standing on his left and right sides.
In front of the desk, of course, is Saf's father, Earl Sullivan, a middle-aged man in his fifties, his body is extremely strong, the muscles under his casual clothes are bulging and full of elasticity, the contours of his face are angular, and his thick eyebrows are tightly wrinkled together, although he just sits there casually, but it feels like a powerful monster, full of aggression and oppression, as if he will rush over in the next moment and tear all the creatures in front of him to pieces.
The other two are somewhat similar in appearance to Earl Sullivan, but they are much younger, and they seem to be able to see a little shadow of Saph, if nothing else, they should be her two older brothers.
"Heh, it seems that I didn't get permission from a few people. I'm four and a half years old, really, don't look older, but I'm less than five. Hehehe, when I was born five years ago, I didn't get permission from a few people, and I grew up healthy and healthy, and I didn't seem to get permission, so it seems that whether you allow it or not is not as important as you think. ”
"Trespassing in the barracks, disobedience and disrespect, you ......"
"Well, that's right, what's wrong?" said Shul with a smile on his face, "Earl Sullivan is so serious, even when he is meeting guests, you keep talking nonsense, aren't you afraid of delaying His Excellency Earl's time?"
"You're Shul?Shul Wright, the battle priest of the Darkmoon Church, and you really know how to argue with people, as mentioned above. ”
With a snap, the earl threw a stack of materials in his hand on the table and raised his head, in addition to the blood and domineering in his two eyes, he also revealed the temperament that can only be cultivated after many years in power, and he belonged to the superior, not angry and arrogant, there is no doubt, if the Duke of the Silver Fox is like a cunning fox, then the Earl of Sullivan is like a lion, but the majesty makes everyone fearful.
"If you have the courage to appear here, you haven't embarrassed the golden powerhouse. With his hands clasped, Earl Sullivan pointed to the three chairs across the desk and said indifferently, "Sit down." ”
"Huh. Shul looked at the chair, and then at the Earl opposite, and although he hesitated for a moment, he still sat down with the two girls, "Your Excellency the Earl has invited the three of us here, and I don't know if there is anything important to negotiate." ”
"Negotiation? Hehe, although you control a small church, you are not qualified to talk to me about negotiation. The Count sneered and said, "I command, you obey, this is what you have to do." ”
"Tsk, it turns out that I am not qualified to negotiate with His Excellency the Earl, and even His Majesty the Lionheart does not dare to say so, His Excellency the Earl seems to be more majestic than the Lionheart King. ”
"It was because I was concerned about the dignity of the gods in front of people, so I was polite to you, and if in private, your church, which only has a few people, does not even have the qualifications to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and wants to negotiate with you? Earl Sullivan's face was expressionless, just as Shure and Lisa's identities really didn't bother him in any way, "Now I say, listen. ”
