Chapter 40 Hall of Wind and Thunder
A bloody battle on a rainy night in the Alcana war zone was originally full of gloomy and solemn atmosphere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but as a piece of news spread among the top echelons of the empire, many people were surprised and stunned, and then couldn't laugh or cry.
- Caesar was killed and did not want to accept the identity protection plan anymore.
Yes, on the way back to the imperial capital, he even had a conflict with the non-commissioned officer in charge of escorting at this time, and his temper was surprisingly stubborn.
After all, it was a young man's nature, and Caesar felt too aggrieved, especially after Jing Zhan's death, Caesar, who had tried the taste of loss for the first time, out of some pride, out of some anger, resolutely refused to accept the identity protection plan again.
"Who does this kid think he is?" more than one of the Empire's top brass was annoyed by this.
After all, not everyone can realize that Caesar is extraordinary, and when Phoenix insisted on applying for Caesar's identity protection plan, even General Lan was a little confused. And in the eyes of more people, there is no essential difference between Caesar and the proud, gifted and best young people of the empire in the three courtyards.
In short, such a thing becomes quite out of place in such a tense atmosphere.
In this situation, Caesar and his party arrived at the imperial capital, the largest city of the empire, not too far from the Alcana war zone.
It's a good day.
And compared with the barren and desolate Arcana, the environment of the imperial capital is much better, and before the official entry into the city, you can already see patches of fields and villages and towns, as well as hard-working people, these are all people who do logistics and food supplies for the front-line soldiers all year round behind the barrier of the imperial capital.
"You should know that you're actually causing trouble for your teacher, right?"
Looking at the gate of the imperial capital that had entered the field of vision, the non-commissioned officer snorted heavily, and said to Caesar in the carriage, "I have read your resume, you are indeed very good, but it may not be said that you are more powerful than the best students of the three major academies. If it weren't for Major Phoenix's repeated emphasis that you were the best candidate for this year's Dragon Dao opening, the Empire would have prepared an identity protection plan specifically for you?
Caesar was silent. His meaning was already made clear, because there was no way to express it, and it was clearer than to directly resist in the form of a fight.
So Caesar didn't feel like he needed anything more.
An extremely annoyed look flashed on the non-commissioned officer's face, and he coldly dropped a sentence: "You kid can do it." I can't do anything to you, but it's different when you get to the imperial capital, and there are people who come to clean you up? Do you think everything will work as you want? And you......" He looked at Hughes viciously, and continued, "What medicine did you take wrong again, and you want to go crazy with this Caesar kid and don't want to participate in the Identity Protection Program?"
Yes, after Caesar refused, Hughes made the same statement.
As for the reason, he didn't give it.
This is what makes the escort non-commissioned officers especially angry, and now these imperial boys are so annoying!
Caesar didn't pay much attention to it, closed his eyes and continued to cultivate, the injuries he had suffered before were barely healed until now, which was still a pleasant news.
The non-commissioned officer quickly walked to the front of the line, and he was now annoyed by the sight of Caesar and Hughes.
Caesar stared at the end of the distant horizon, the gate of the imperial capital, which was far away but still had a solemn and majestic aura on his face, and spoke: "Hughes, I have my reason for refusing the identity protection plan, and what are you for?"
"You're not the only one with a temper and a character. Hughes replied lightly.
Caesar smiled strangely and whispered, "Although we have carried it down along the way, you should know that once you arrive in the imperial capital, it will be different, and you may be forced to continue to participate in identity protection." ”
Hughes also smiled and said, "Believe me, I know the rules of the upper echelons of the empire better than you, and it would be strange that we did not be taught a hard lesson in such a behavior, especially in such a period." ”
Caesar fell silent.
In fact, if you really want to talk about this matter, it is very serious. The Imperial Military Department attaches the most importance to military discipline, and Caesar's current status as an official Imperial soldier is no different from disobedience when he refuses to accept the protection plan that he has already accepted!
Although along the way, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the escort had nothing to do with Caesar and the others because of authority issues, Caesar did not feel relaxed because of this.
Caesar didn't expect that this would cause trouble for Teacher Lan, but he really couldn't do it and hid like a shrunken turtle again.
It's not that Caesar can't endure this kind of thing, but for the sake of safety, he becomes another person, and then the mask is ruthlessly torn by the battle mage, such a humiliation, Caesar doesn't want to try it a second time.
"So we'll see. Caesar shrugged his shoulders and didn't think much about it, "Anyway, I'm not going to take part in this damn plan anyway." Never!"
Because of the matter of disobedience, Caesar's question to Hughes was also put on hold for the time being.
And Hughes, who was originally going to answer, seemed to have forgotten about the matter and did not take the initiative to mention it.
Seeing that the imperial capital is getting closer and closer, even with Caesar's psychological quality, it is inevitable that he will be a little worried.
But he still underestimated the rapidity and heaviness of the pressure from the military department.
"After entering the city, you don't need to go anywhere, just go to the Wind Thunder Hall. ”
It was when Caesar entered the city that Caesar heard what an ordinary-looking soldier at the gate of the city said to the non-commissioned officer who was escorting the procession.
Storm Thunder Hall......
After hearing this name, the non-commissioned officer's eyelids also jumped violently a few times, and his eyes became very surprised, and then became very solemn.
He put down his cruel words before, saying that Caesar would definitely be unlucky and suffer after arriving in the imperial capital, but he actually had to go directly to the Wind and Thunder Hall, which still greatly exceeded the non-commissioned officer's expectations.
He took a deep breath and nodded in a deep voice, "Got it." ”
This team, which seemed inconspicuous on the surface, slowly drove into the gate of the imperial capital with a height of 100 meters and a total of silver-gray stone.
Behind Caesar and Hughes's carriage was the carriage in which Gigi Long and Shiloh were riding.
Although Long Qiqi and Caesar were in the same team, they had not been allowed to communicate with Caesar these days, and the girl looked at the direction of the convoy and asked with some surprise, "What's going on?"
At the same time, Shiloh in the carriage behind him asked the same question.
They were more familiar with the imperial capital and knew very well that this was not the way back to their respective homes, but ...... All the way to the core area of the imperial capital?
"General Long has an order to let Caesar and Hughes go to the Wind and Thunder Hall as soon as possible. As for Miss Kiki and the head of the Shiloh family, General Long said that you can observe this deliberation. The escort non-commissioned officer whispered.
Long Qiqi froze.
Shiloh also fell silent, silent for a long time.
Both of them were long-time residents of the imperial capital, and they knew very well what the Hall of Wind and Thunder represented, and they also vaguely knew about Caesar and Hughes's refusal to participate in the identity protection plan for the past two days.
"Is it going to be a deliberative meeting in the Wind and Thunder Hall......? Is that a bit too exaggerated?" Long Qiqi thought a little dazedly, "This is the only place where people at the level of colonels and generals are qualified to participate in the deliberations, and this is almost the highest level of deliberation in the empire!!"
No one thought that Caesar, who had rejected the identity protection plan, would immediately face the Wind and Thunder Deliberation, which only the highest decision-makers of the Wind and Thunder Empire were qualified to participate in.
