Now that the words have been spoken, Caterina took a deep breath and decided to say what she wanted to say: "My lord, the division of factions is not what I said at the beginning, and it is not many people on General Lan's side who think that General Lan's opinion is always correct, and even ...... I even have a lot of discussions about you in private, generals, and you don't speak cleanly!"

"So what?" General Long didn't look back, and asked softly, "Think it's the other party who did the wrong thing first, so we can do the same thing with confidence?"

"Uh......" Caterina was momentarily speechless, her pretty face flushed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

General Long still didn't look back, and said slowly: "Do you know? Next year, when Long Dao opens this matter in the Hengduan Mountain Range, our military department thinks that it is a big deal, and has decided to take this matter alone and avoid all possible risks. The Twelve Round Table, Earth Street, and the Forest Clan were dissatisfied with this, believing that they were also eligible to participate, so there was a troublesome matter of the tripartite joining forces and speaking out to the military department. ”

"But do you think this incident was caused only because they were dissatisfied?"

Caterina muttered, "Otherwise, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't understand the hard work of the military department, they had to get involved, where would there be so much trouble!"

General Long said: "Dissatisfaction, incomprehension, disagreement, this is something that can never be eliminated. The real reason why the three parties have the courage to join forces to express their protest is because the control of the military department is far less than it was a hundred years ago. Because the marshal and the non-lord rarely appear in front of people anymore. And General Lan and I have been repeatedly rumored to be at odds......"

Speaking of this, General Long finally turned around, looked at Katarina, and asked, "Do you think that the strength of the military department divided into two is greater than that of the three parties?"

Caterina opened her mouth, and suddenly her whole body shook, and her face gradually turned pale.

The strength of the Imperial Military Department is undeniable, even if it is split in two, it seems to be nothing, it is still stronger than any of the Twelve Round Tables, Earth Street, or the Forest Clan. Especially the forest clan, if the forest king is still alive, then the natural strength is strong, but now that the forest king is dead, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is very capable, but after all, she is still relatively young, not as good as the forest king in his heyday.

But now, there is a tendency for the three parties to join forces.

At such a time, if there are signs of division and disintegration of the military department, the result may be a great turmoil within the empire, and who can guarantee that the three forces will not take advantage of the situation to advance? Even if it is not possible to overthrow the military department, it is still very possible to greatly weaken the military department's control over the empire.

Thinking of this, Caterina couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

General Long smiled, patted Caterina on the shoulder, and said warmly, "Now do you understand? I use Caesar, who many people think is 'General Blue', to deal with this matter. ”

"Understood. "I'm so sorry. ”

Caterina had always been General Dragon's aide-de-camp, General Dragon's closest subordinate, and she felt guilty because even she had failed to appreciate the General's good intentions.

Caterina thought that with Caesar, a person from the Blue General's lineage, there would be a loss of face as General Dragon.

What General Long thought was that he had to use Caesar, a person from the Blue General family in the eyes of everyone, not to show face, but to express an attitude: General Lan and I are in the same group.

"Okay, just get it. This time, the matter of the joint voice of the three parties will be completely dealt with in the unified examination stage, and there is no need to delay this kind of troublesome matter. ”

General Long sat back at his desk and continued, "Within the scope of the rules of the unified examination, give Caesar the greatest convenience and support, and let those three parties shut up honestly." Didn't they question the fact that the military department would monopolize next year's dragon road? Let them see that the people selected by our military department are much better than theirs. ”

"Yes!" replied Katarina.

This is the end of the matter about the unified examination. There are too many things that are more important to the Imperial generals than the unified examination, such as the ongoing skirmishes and friction in the Hengduan Mountains.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the empire has been peaceful and free of war for a hundred years, but in fact, the war in the Hengduan Mountains has continued to be contaminated, only a hundred years ago to the present, and it has never stopped. It's just that the scale of the war is not large. The main reason is that the North and the South need to rely on small-scale wars to constantly update their understanding of each other, so that they can prepare for victory in the next major war that will really determine the outcome of the war.

“...... On the Battlemage side, we've been under a lot of pressure in the Hengduan Mountains lately. ”

General Long frowned and said, "This makes me feel a little bad. What's more, they are expected to be eyeing Caesar's child, after all, Caesar's performance on the Food Island has already aroused great vigilance from the Battle Dynasty. They won't allow someone with that kind of cross-level explosiveness to participate in next year's Dragon Dao Trial. ”

Katerina said: "The military department has sent two school officers to secretly protect him. ”

General Long thought for a moment and said, "Remove those two guards." ”

Caterina was taken aback and wondered, "Why?"

General Long touched his gray beard, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Because there is a more suitable candidate for the guard, who is already by Caesar's side." ”

"You mean...... Phoenix?" Caterina shook her head, "As far as I know, she's been tracking down the Grey Armor right now, and she's spent very little time with Caesar. This is also in line with General Lan's style of cultivating people, the phoenix was cultivated like this back then, and it was placed in that terrible place......"

General Long shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the phoenix, I'm talking about the Kasatine kid." ”

“...... Cassadine?!" Katerina's voice suddenly rose several degrees, "That little madman is in Aoki City?!, hell, after he went out of tune from the Imperial Capital Headquarters, I don't know how many people are looking for him!"

General Long said, "He is one of the candidates. ”

"......," Caterina was silent for a few moments, finally not knowing what to say, and scolded in annoyance, "this madman who has no military discipline. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, the little guy probably thinks we old guys don't know his whereabouts, and we're beaming with pride. General Long said with a smile, "Although Cassadine has a big brain, he is still very reliable in major matters. The Battle Dynasty has already set its sights on Caesar, and the three parties of the Twelve Round Table, Earth Street, and the Forest Clan cannot guarantee that they will not use some small means of damage to Caesar during the second round of assessment, and with Cassadine by Caesar's side, there should be no big problem. Don't forget that Cassadine's nickname. ”

Cassadine is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, but he looks relatively young.

He is also a wonder in the military department. First of all, he doesn't have the so-called faction in the eyes of everyone, he is a loner and very unorganized.

Originally, with his friendship with Blue Phoenix, it should have been in the same vein as General Lan. But as we all know, what General Lan hates the most is guys who have no rules and talk to themselves.

Among all the officers of the Empire, Cassadine earned the nickname "The First-Stirring Stick of the Imperial Army" for his youth, talent, and narcissistic and strange personality.

He often doesn't play cards according to common sense, but because of this, he can build miracles in many cases, because not only his own people can't figure him out, but his opponents can't figure out this guy's strange way of doing things.

It's a good thing that this guy is by Caesar's side now.

It's just that......

"General, you say, while Cassadine is helping Caesar block trouble and danger, will he himself become Caesar's biggest trouble and interference?"

Caterina asked, a little worried.

"Uh, this ......" General Long's face stiffened slightly, and he was speechless for a long time, and finally pulled his beard a little embarrassed, and said, "It should be...... No...... Right?"

......

......

It has to be said that Katerina's concerns are justified.

After the draw for the first round of the UEC, Caesar exited Dream City, returned to the real world, and began to think about his plans for the next three months.

Then Cassadine came to the door.

At this moment, Caesar stood on the beach, not far from his hut, staring dumbfounded at a small seaside cottage that seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and muttered, "Hell, what is the situation!"

Then he saw Cassadine come out of the villa leisurely, greeted Caesar, and said happily: "Yo, Caesar, don't you recognize me?

Caesar had read in a book that "a thousand grass and mud horses were rushing through their hearts", and now he realized it.

You kid, don't look like you've been living here in the first place, okay?

When was this villa built in a hurry?!

Seeing that Caesar's eyes were still staring at the villa behind him, Cassadine smiled confidently and said, "How is it, it's not bad, right? The head family in Aoki City is indeed quite good, and it is said that the city hall of Aoki City was built by their family." ”

The three major families of Aoki City, Earth Street, the Roy family, and the Head family.

Earth Street is actually a national family, and just the family branch in Aoki City is enough to override Roy and Hade. The Roy family had a deep relationship with the military department. The Hede family is the head of the land, and its sphere of influence is only in Aoki City, and it has a good relationship with the Aoki City Governing Body.

Caesar looked at the villa that seemed to have been uprooted out of thin air overnight, but he didn't have any jealousy or envy, but after being shocked, he felt more and more the mystery of this "Casa" in front of him.

Cassadine was waiting for Caesar to make a comment, but when he saw Caesar suddenly turn around and leave without looking back, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and only after a moment did he react and exclaimed: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Seeing me in such a chic abode, don't you even say a word of praise and compliment?

The little dragon squatted on Caesar's shoulder, tilting his head to look at all this, and he also looked a little puzzled.

Caesar shouted directly: "Either you immediately identify yourself and tell me who you are, or ...... I'm going to move right away, can't I hide if I can't afford to mess with me?"

Cassadine was stunned again, and when he saw that Caesar was about to run into his cabin, he hurriedly followed, grabbed Caesar's shoulder, and shouted: "What do you mean that you can't be provoked and can't hide? Am I a plague god? Isn't it your luck to have the opportunity to communicate with such an excellent person as me?"

Caesar tried to struggle, and found that the other party's palm was like an iron tong, and knew that he might meet someone far superior to him.

He couldn't help but look back a little helplessly and said, "Although I don't have an impression of my parents, I grew up alone, but I still heard a sentence. ”

Cassadine stared at Caesar with annoyance in his eyes, gritted his teeth and asked, "What words?"

Caesar said earnestly, "Did your mother tell you?" - Don't talk to strangers. ”
