Chapter 18 Internal and external troubles

Early the next morning, Randy and Cohen were picked up by a carriage sent by Ryan and headed to Orton Palace to be formally reviewed by the Odyssey's senior officials. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The venue of this meeting is the largest and most important meeting place in the Orton Palace, the Orton Conference Hall. The spacious seating on the upper and lower floors can accommodate nearly 200 people. Since it was just a meeting of newcomers, only dozens of officials and celebrities were present, although it seemed a little deserted, but these people were all high-ranking officials of the Odyssey.

Across from the seats was the main podium of tens of square meters, and Randy and Cohen stood on the podium a little nervously, and were reviewed by the marshal along with the warriors selected from other regions.

Today, Marshal Cedric is dressed in a particularly formal manner, and the neat military uniform full of medals sets off the majesty of the marshal.

Standing in the center of the podium, the marshal did not pretend like an ordinary opening statement, but expressed his dissatisfaction in a slightly serious voice: "Our greatest enemy, the Serra Federation, has begun a new round of actions, even invading the interior of Olivia, sabotaging our selection, I have done everything in my power to ensure that these ten warriors reach the Odyssey safely, and you high-ranking officials are not the slightest aware of the impending crisis, I am very disappointed!"

To Randy's great surprise, Field Marshal Cedric's opening remarks seemed to ridicule all the officials present, but none of the officials present dared to raise their voices in protest.

At this time, Ryan hurriedly walked up to the podium and whispered a few words in Cedric's ear. Landi, who was closer, seemed to hear the news of an emergency at the front. Cedric said a few more simple words, and hurried out of the conference hall. Awarded by the Mayor of the Odyssey, Casey, on behalf of the Badge of Honor.

What Randy couldn't have imagined was that the mayor of the Odyssey that Ryan was talking about, Marshal Cedric's biggest opponent in the Führer's race, was actually a plump fat man. The mayor struggled to get up to the podium with his round belly and hands behind his back, as if his greasy body was difficult to get up once he fell.

One by one, the mayor will wear the emblems of warriors engraved with doves of peace and olive branches, symbolizing hope, for warriors from different regions. The mayor's oily face, with his curly mustache, smiled more like a pig's head, contrasting with the brown-red hair.

The mayor came to Randy, put on a badge for Randy, patted Randy's shoulder solemnly, and smiled: "Young man, the future is limitless!"

Randy smiled awkwardly.

After that, the mayor spoke in place of Field Marshal Cedric, nothing more than some hope for peace, and Randy didn't listen seriously to the scenes like Olivia. It's just that the boy next to the mayor's seat has attracted Randy's attention, with striking brown-red hair, it can't be wrong, it's Kaiser!

Randy touched Cohen next to him with his elbow, and Cohen looked in the direction indicated by Randy, and was surprised that he was actually there on this occasion.

The mayor announced the end of the meeting, and the officials on the scene immediately rushed to the podium and surrounded Randy and them, they all wanted to draw Randy's potential new stars into their accounts as much as possible to increase their strength.

It's just that the two Randy, who had already received the marshal's summons in advance, followed Ryan early and left the conference hall.

Before leaving, Randy didn't forget to look back at the red-haired boy, only to see that he was talking to the mayor, and the smile on the mayor's face disappeared, and he looked up at Randy and them.

Randy whispered to Ryan about the identity of the red-haired boy, and what made Randy and the others feel bad was that the red-haired boy who was taught him a lesson last night was the son of the official mayor Casey.

While Cohen was hesitating to tell Councillor Ryan about the previous night, the group had already arrived at the marshal's office.

It's still the ornately decorated office, but it gives Randy a different feeling from yesterday. The marshal, who had always been majestic, looked particularly haggard at this time, leaning on the sofa casually, facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the west, quietly looking into the distance, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Marshal. Ryan whispered hello.

"Oh, here you are. Cedric rubbed his sleepy eyes, forced a smile, and said to Randy and the others, "I will arrange for you to be placed in a department closer to the officials, so that you can have a place in the Odyssey as soon as possible, so as to cooperate with Councilor Lane's work here." ”

The two hurriedly nodded in compliance.

"Does the situation at the front have a big impact?" Ryan heard Cedric's intentions.

"Alas~" Faced with the urgent report from the front, the marshal shook his head helplessly and handed the letter to Lane.

In his heart, due to the lack of powerful generals, Olivia has been defeated on the battlefield, and the war has even spread from neutral areas to Olivia's territory.

Ryan immediately understood what Cedric meant, and in the face of the tense front line, the marshal also had to go to the front line to direct the battle in person, so he solemnly promised: "I will try my best to stabilize the situation here in the capital, and if I find anything abnormal, I will report it to you as soon as possible." ”

Lane's so-called anomaly is Mayor Casey, who, unlike Cedric, who represents the interests of the common people, has always defended the interests of the upper classes, and to add insult to injury, only the upper classes have the right to vote in the election of the Führer.

It's just that Randy and the others don't understand what Ryan is referring to in the capital, in fact, because of their recklessness last night, they have offended the narrow-minded Casey family, and they are unknowingly involved in a terrible power struggle.

As soon as they came out of Orton Palace, Randy and Cohen met the warriors of the other regions who were attending the ceremony. Randy, who has always been friendly, wanted to step forward to say hello, but was mercilessly taunted by the other party, "You are the warriors selected from a small place?

"What are you talking about!" Randy, who had a hot face and a cold ass, naturally couldn't stand such contempt, and wanted to give the other party some color to see, but was pulled by Cohen on the side.

"They seem to have been recruited by Casey. Cohen whispered as he pointed to the black canopy carriage coming in the distance.

Sure enough, the three of them got into the carriage with the Casey family logo and left the square in front of Orton Palace laughing.

"I'm sure Kaiser won't rest on his laurels as to what happened last night. Cohen, who had dealt with Kaiser, seemed to sense that the other party was not the kind of person who would suffer.

"Then we'll beat him until he is served. Randy disagreed.

Cohen quickly dismissed Randy's idea: "I always have a bad feeling. ”

"You're still the Cohen I know!" Randy frantically ruffled with her hands, her silver hair glowing faintly in the sunlight.

"Alright, let's report to the Escort first. Cohen pulled Randy in the direction of the guardhouse.

The so-called escort is a defense team dedicated to the defense of high-ranking officials, also known as bodyguards, but at this time it is a more official and larger organization. The reason why the marshal arranged the two of them in this kind of place is because as a member of the guard, it is more convenient to contact officials of all levels and obtain favorable information.
