Chapter 331: Costume Change (2)
Joe changed into a brand new military uniform.
He stood in Sallian's office with open arms.
Salian touched his chin with one hand and slowly circled around Joe. Several palace affairs officials looked at Qiao with extremely appreciative eyes, and whispered admiration for Qiao's uniform on his body, which was indeed very majestic and domineering.
A group of little maids from Hydrala Palace had little red faces, watery eyes in blue, green, gray, and amber, and their small mouths were slightly open, looking like they were eager to swallow Joe.
It's true that Joe was a little too obese.
But in many parts of the Delenian Empire, the body is tall enough, the shoulders are broad enough, and the body is big enough, which is very much in line with the traditional local aesthetic - the tall, burly body represents strength and is full of male hormones. is very man, and it is very attractive to these petite and pretty little maids.
Joe's brows twitched, and he looked at himself in the dressing mirror supported by the two maids, and his heart was quite happy and excited.
This major uniform, worn on him, is really powerful.
Hey, I've been a cop these days, but Joe has always envied the Army uniform on Gorkin. This time, he finally took off his black police uniform and changed into an iron-gray military uniform.
Joe's heart is really beautiful.
A large-brimmed hat, large lapels, bloomers, high riding boots, and a large-caliber six-shot revolver hand-forged by Jules Silverhammer hung from the belt. There's also the Royal Hydra badge pinned to the neckline, and the row of shiny medals of merit on the left chest!
Oh, by the way, above this row of shiny medals of merit is a black medal with a blood-colored stripe on the edges of the Order of the Defender of the Black Forestβin the center of this five-pointed star medal is the same blood-colored silhouette of a soldier with a sword and a hat on his head.
Order of the Defender of the Black Forest!
He has a special position in the Delen Imperial Medal of Merit, like the Royal Hydra badge on Joe's neckline, and on any occasion, the Order of the Defender of the Black Forest will be above all other meritorious medals.
If the Everglades were the heart of the Deren Empire, then the Black Forest was the liver of the Deren Empire, and before the establishment of the Deren Empire, the vast and abundant Black Forest provided a steady stream of survival resources for the powerful tribal alliance that was the predecessor of the Deren Empire.
Historically, when powerful enemies from all sides attacked and wanted to wipe the Deren Tribal Alliance off the map, it was also the vast Black Forest that gave the Delen Tribal Alliance a natural fortress and sheltered their safety.
If it weren't for the existence of the Black Forest, the Deren Tribal Alliance would have been wiped out by the enemy hundreds of times, and it would not have been his turn to establish a country and gradually grow stronger.
The Duke of the Black Forest has a special meaning within the royal family of the Delen Empire.
The Order of the Defender of the Black Forest has a very special meaning.
The Duke of the Black Forest of this generation is Salian.
Compared to the Royal Hydra badge that Joe now has, the Order of the Black Forest Defender means that Joe is a confidant of Salian.
The message of the Royal Hydra coat of arms is sometimes too vague and ambiguous β the person who bears the badge is favored by the royal family, and this is the meaning of the Royal Hydra coat of arms.
But this person, how much favor has he received from the royal family? If something happens to him, how much power and influence will the royal family use to help him? It is vague how much he contributed to the royal family, whether it was military merit or financial assistance.
Sometimes, perhaps some lucky people just inadvertently help an idle royal family member with little real power, get his gratitude, and then get the favor of the royal family...... Sometimes, these lucky ones also receive a Royal Hydra badge.
This kind of lucky person can only get a certain sense of protection from the royal family, but it is impossible to get strong support from the royal family.
And the Order of the Defender of the Black Forest is extremely direct, extremely naked, and unusually simple to reveal a powerful signal - the person who bears this medal is the henchman of the Duke of the Black Forest, and whoever dares to offend is the enemy of the Duke of the Black Forest!
As mentioned before, the Duke of the Black Forest of this generation is Salian.
The emperor's grandson, Salian, who was supported by almost ninety percent of the Imperial Army.
"Very good, very majestic, very magnificent!"
Salian circled Joe twice, and finally nodded in satisfaction, and then he slapped Joe's belly hard: "Damn, if you can lose a little bit of belly, with your size, you are an example of an imperial soldier." β
Shaking his head, Salian sighed, "The way you are now, if you join the front-line troops...... I'm afraid you're going to be shot! β
Joe's face twitched violently, "Am I so bad?" β
Salian shrugged his shoulders: "Imperial soldiers have an incomparably strong sense of honor...... Your belly, disgrace them...... No one wants their boss to be called 'that wild boar out of the woods' or 'that wild bear out of the black forest'! β
Joe's face was pitch black for a while, why didn't he notice that Salion, who was as cold as a granite statue in the past, still had such a poisonous tongue?
"Fortunately, though, until you have completed four years of military university coursework, I will not let you go to the front to lead the soldiers, which is simply irresponsible to the soldiers...... In the imperial capital, you have to have a good experience. β
Shaking his head, Salian pulled the corners of his mouth very strangely and smiled: "Well, according to grandfather's advice, your value is definitely not on the battlefield, Joe...... You are in the imperial capital, you can help me do more things, perhaps, it will give me greater and more unexpected gains. β
Joe coughed heavily, "I feel like you're trying something against me. β
Salian pouted: "Shut up, bastard, do you know how many people in the entire Deren Empire want to cry and cry and beg me to plot against them?" β
From head to toe, after carefully examining Joe, who had changed his clothes, Salian sincerely admired: "I completely agree with my opinion, you are more suitable for the army uniform...... Well, now, follow me. β
"Joe, from the moment you put on this uniform, you are a true Imperial Army officer. I will follow the standards of a real Imperial Army officer, strictly demand you, and harshly train you, so that you can become a real, qualified, and even beyond the standard soldier! β
"When you were a police officer in the past, I forgot all the bad things you developed."
"From now on, you start to get into character...... Now, follow me! Salian snapped his fingers and strode out of the office.
Jo shrugged his shoulders, tugged at the corners of his coat hard, winked at a group of watery-eyed little maids, and strode after Salian.
Underground of Hydra Palace, the claustrophobic hall.
Joe's eyes widened, looking around curiously. He had been to the claustrophobic place under the Vigral Mansion in Port Tulun, and he really didn't expect that there would be a claustrophobic hall of such an astonishing scale under the Hydra Palace.
Moreover, every trace of air, every inch of land, and even every speck of dust here made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
A faint sense of danger filled the void.
A strange sense of distortion came over us.
Chaos, depravity, wickedness, filth...... Everything negative is everywhere here...... In the midst of it, it is as if you are buried in a deep swamp, among countless decomposing corpses, and there is an illusion of complete suffocation.
In the dark hall of light, the clumsy Mediga walked out of the darkness with a scepter in her hand.
He raised his head with difficulty, glanced deeply at the medal of the Defender of the Black Forest on Joe's chest, and nodded towards Salian: "Your Highness...... That little one, over here...... Ho ho ho, I must admit that the gray cattle of the Lucia Empire, their vitality is really tenacious. β
The moment he saw Mediga, Joe's hairs suddenly exploded.
His pupils turned crimson for a moment, he took a deep breath, and his hands subconsciously clenched into fists.
"Yo, this little guy is good...... Not bad. Mediga giggled, and the scepter in her hand lightly touched the ground: "Such a dangerous prediction is on the battlefield...... At least it will allow you to live longer. β
Mediga chuckled softly and led Joe and Salian to a portal in the Claustrophobic Temple, then gently pushed the door open.
Salian led Joe into the small hall.
Here, dozens of arm-thick crystal pipes have been drilled out of the wall, connecting a huge, oval-shaped, silkworm-like crystal sink in the center.
More than twenty feet high, the thickest diameter of seven or eight feet in the crystal trough, in the faint, shining green fluorescent liquid, a burly man with no veil all over his body, like a gorilla, is quietly suspended in it.
The man wore a triangular crystal mask on his face, and as he breathed, bubbles continued to erupt from the mask.
Dozens of transparent hoses the thickness of little fingers pierced deep into his body.
The back of the neck, spine, joints of the limbs, and even the heart, liver, and other vital points are pierced with transparent hoses. The hose was filled with red, viscous liquid, which was constantly being injected into the man's body.
This man ...... Kind of familiar.
After the spiritual sea was opened, Joe, whose memory also soared, quickly remembered who this person was.
When the royal train from the port of Tulum to the Ruhr was attacked, this burly man and a large army raided the special train, and Lieutenant General Otto fought a great battle, and finally he was defeated by Lieutenant General Otto, who broke his limbs and captured him alive.
This guy's name...... It seems to be called 'Big Ivan', Joe still learned the name of this guy from the blood axe Marcos, he is a traitor of the Lucia Empire, he killed his own lord, and then defected to the Ruhr City of the Deren Empire with a group of subordinates, and formed a blizzard war group, specializing in collecting money to do errands and helping those gentlemen in the Ruhr City region to do dirty work.
This guy also has sixth-order combat power.
In addition, the people of the Lucian Empire are fierce, barbaric and warlike, Big Ivan is ruthless, and a group of subordinates are also fierce and aggressive, so the Blizzard War Group is thriving in the Ruhr region......
Even the royal train of the Delun Empire, he dared to lead people to attack.
It can be seen how bold and reckless this guy is, how unscrupulous.
