Chapter 21: Interest
"Jeremia Goldbard, come on orders from His Highness."
From head to toe, this man named Jeremia exudes the temperament of a traditional Breton soldier, with a burly figure, a cold appearance, meticulous attire, and absolute respect for the royal family.
As a man who advocated that the Breton blood was the noblest in the world, he believed that the Breton army, as the sword of the Empire, should be made up entirely of people of pure holy British blood, and thus established the "Purebloods".
Whether it is the title of Earl of the Frontier that he himself has, or the abilities he possesses as an officer, it is enough to keep this Bretanian tough guy calm in any situation.
But in fact, when he received the order to receive the interview, Jeremiah was a little uneasy and panicked in his heart, although he was proud of his origin and ability, he also clearly understood that he was not taken much seriously by the third prince.
What's more, in this operation to suppress the riots, he was also calculated by the terrorists and had to abandon Kightmare and leave the battlefield, which is not unforgivable, but if it is to be investigated, a hat of dereliction of duty can also be denied.
Is Your Highness dissatisfied with me? As some outrageous thoughts appeared in Jeremia's mind, the uneasiness in his heart began to spread rapidly like ink dripping from water.
Fortunately, Takeya, the pseudo-prince, did not tease his bad taste: "Jeremia...... Get up. β
"Yes." Standing up from the ground, Jeremiah stood upright, waiting for Takeya's next words.
Judging by the first impression, this man named Jeremia is indeed much stronger than the group of staff officers just now, including his henchman Bartrey.
"I heard you're the initiator of the pureblood faction?" Wu also looked at the other party and said casually.
"Yes," Jeremiah's expression became a little excited, as if he had received some kind of recognition: "The subordinates think that the numbers are not qualified to touch this noble honor!" β
Jeremia's pure-bloods were not simply wishing to build up their armies with pure-blooded Bretanians, but rather to the exclusion of outsiders, such as the numbers he called them, a contempt for the soldiers recruited in the colony, the honorary Bretanians.
"......" didn't have any feelings about Jeremia's declaration, rather, he really didn't have much sense of belonging to this world that distorted history.
He was also asked if he would be angry, after knowing the origin of the so-called 11 districts, after all, he was also half an aborigine.
It's just that the witch seems to have gotten one thing wrong, not to mention the more terrifying worlds that Wu Ye has experienced, just one thing-
He's not human anymore.
Since even the concept of race is different, there is naturally no righteous indignation with empathy, which is cold-blooded, but it is true.
"I know what you think."
Wu Ye did not express his agreement, if he wanted to say, the idea of the pure-blood faction was unrealistic, after all, if it was really all the people of the empire to form the army, such casualties were not at all what the current empire could afford.
However, he was not interested in discussing this issue too deeply with the other party, he was just agreeing. After giving him the recommended talents, simply hand over the army to him.
"Jeremia, it's up to you to take over Bartlet's work."
"Your Highness, Your Highness! This is......? Jeremiah's eyes widened, and a voice in his throat that changed tone in surprise came out.
"I hope you can upgrade this chaotic colony to a safe zone, can you?"
As the leader of the pure-bloods, Jeremiah already has a certain prestige in the army, and it is not unacceptable for him to lead the army.
βyes your highnessοΌβ
The heavy boots made a short, powerful sound on the ground, and Jeremia straightened up and loudly swore loyalty to the prince: "Fearful! The subordinates must live up to His Highness's trust! β
The people around looked at this iron-blooded officer, and they all saw excitement and pride on his face, and they couldn't help but show a look of envy, no matter how His Highness noticed him, it was already a sure thing that this guy named Jeremia would take the throne.
Bartlet, on the other hand, was a little gloomy and ashamed, he never blamed the prince, he was loyal and only reflected on his own incompetence.
However, he didn't know that Takeya had only handed over the command of the army to Jeremia and did not pursue Bartlet's intentions.
Besides, since and . After agreeing not to use the means of over-the-line, then in the face of a war that does not have a big chance of winning, change to a more reliable commander, even if you lose, you will not lose so badly.
Over the next few days, Jeremia showed his strength as a front-line commander, and the resistance was being suppressed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Or rather, the situation has returned to the one-sided suppression it once had, only this time it was the Imperial Army that easily defeated the terrorists, although this was also a matter of course.
Looking at the report submitted by Jeremia in the past few days, Wu Ye only saw one piece of information from it, that is, Lelouch really and. Saying the same, there is no action.
With Lelouch still in place, the Empire was replaced by a commander with outstanding tactical and strategic talents, and one can imagine what will happen to those who resist.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
In the Governor's Palace, Takeya and. Passing the time on the chessboard, waiting for news from Bartlet, another reason for Jeremia to take over the army was that he needed this subordinate who had studied the mysterious Code to find clues about the Instrument of Mortal Sin.
And the waiting time is always boring and long, thanks to the gift of the original prince, Wu Ye, who originally knew nothing about chess, can now play with . Play a few rounds.
After borrowing the identity of Clovis, Takeya did not linger at various balls like the original owner, nor did he continue his artistic creations, which are now available in the Doge's Palace. It was the news that his lover came out.
Although he read the prince's memory, he still couldn't get interested in things that he wasn't interested in.
"Why didn't you say that emperor did it directly to me, wasn't he looking for you?"
After dismissing his subordinates, there was only Takeya and . in the room, and at this time he could not shy away from talking about these dangerous topics.
"The 'incompetence' of the third prince is well known, so although he knew about 'me' when I was in your hands, he was not in a hurry, because he was not ready at that time."
Put the chariot in front of the king, and soon win another game: "And now that 'I' have fled from you, he has no reason to deal with you." β
"Speaking of which, the emperor's idea is very interesting, a world without lies, the common human consciousness? Or a collection? "From. Even he was surprised when he learned what the emperor of this world was thinking.
"People who live in the ordinary world really think like this? Or is that emperor beyond humanity? β
"Charles is just not bound by the existing human common sense."
"Huh, yes."
The chess pieces that he picked up did not fall for a long time, and Wu also suddenly lost the chess pieces, right. said: "Let's try it, anyway, there will be no clues from Bartley for a while, just see what the ending will be." β
He said lightly: "I won't say anything, playing online, relying on that 'orange' alone, you may not even be able to survive for a month." β
"Hey, that's fun, isn't it?"
