Chapter 27 Changing attitudes
In the conference hall, the crowd was excited, and everyone shouted that after Caesar was captured and brought back, the military law would deal with it and punish him severely!
The phoenix heard all this in his ears, his face couldn't help but change, and his heart was even more surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she originally thought that Caesar would always repel the four great disciples no matter what he said, and he would have a great contribution to the empire, why is it that now everyone only mentions the guilt and not the merits?
At this time, the phoenix felt the palm of her hand tighten, and when she turned her head to look, she saw that Jasmine's cheeks were pale, and her hands were tightly gripping the palm of the phoenix.
Phoenix's heart moved, thinking that this girl had such a big reaction when she heard everyone denouncing Caesar, could it be that she married the general, and she still had no feelings for Caesar in her heart?
In the midst of the crusade, suddenly a person slowly stood up and raised his hand high, indicating that he had something to say. From the marshal downwards, everyone looked over and saw that the man who stood up was none other than Cassadine.
Cassadine's prickly style was known to everyone present, and it was no secret that he had a good personal relationship with Caesar. At this time, he stood up, as if he was going to defend Caesar.
The female general frowned slightly, and before Cassadine could speak, she was about to speak.
However, before the female general could speak, she heard a voice ask loudly: "Without Caesar, the empire is gone, and the military headquarters has long been destroyed, and we are now sitting in the conference hall of the imperial capital that was protected by Caesar, discussing how to punish Caesar, don't we blush?"
Not only was the audience surprised, but even Cassadine himself opened his mouth wide and his face was full of incredulity.
He was going to say two fair words, but he hadn't said it yet, and it wasn't Cassadine's words that he had just said.
Everyone's eyes looked in one direction, and they saw that in the area where the newly promoted majors were at the edge of the conference hall, there stood a young man, who looked no more than twenty or so in appearance, but his figure was almost comparable to that of a forest warrior.
Phoenix felt Jasmine's hand tighten again, and couldn't help but sigh, her face a little complicated. Because the young man who stood up to speak for Caesar was Watar. If I'm not mistaken, Jasmine and Wataru have always been a couple when they were studying at Aoki Academy, but later, for some reason, Jasmine left Wataru and married General Lan as a concubine.
Wataru was watched by the audience, but his eyes were on Jasmine, and there was an indescribable look on his face, including anger, sourness, and longing...... Du has just turned 20 this year, but there are already a lot of weather.
He took a breath, forced himself to withdraw his gaze, turned to look at the audience, and said, "Caesar single-handedly repelled the four great disciples of the Northern Kingdom, which everyone saw with their own eyes, and I don't need to say more. I just want to mention one point, on the frontal battlefield that day, when our army was gradually exhausted, the grain and grass camp behind the battle mage camp caught fire, and this incident was actually done by Caesar. ”
Long Jun asked coldly: "Oh, where did this information come from, and how reliable is it?"
Du looked at the past and said without backing down: "The person who went to burn grain and grass with Caesar is me!"
Long Jun couldn't help but be silent.
Although Wataru is young and has little qualifications, he is a member of the Imperial Officers after all. Blatantly questioning his words is not only disrespectful to Du himself, but also distrust of the military department's system for reviewing the qualifications of school officers.
Long Jun was extremely annoyed in his heart, but his face was not good, his impression of Caesar was never good, at the beginning, in order to resist the marriage contract arranged by the family for himself, Long Qiqi publicly announced that he would not marry if he was not Caesar, which caused countless troubles to Long Jun as a father. Although the Twelve Round Table family was later broken up by General Lan and the marriage contract was abandoned, Long Jun's impression of Caesar still did not improve in the slightest. And this time, General Long almost died at the hands of Caesar, which made Long Jun hate this kid deeply.
"This ferry doesn't know what it has to do with Caesar, and in this case he dares to stand up and speak for a traitor. Long Jun squinted and pondered silently.
How did he know that Wataru and Caesar had no friendship, but because of Jasmine's relationship, the relationship was not harmonious. On the one hand, Wataru is grateful to Caesar for saving him from the battle mage's cell, and on the other hand, and more importantly, after he suddenly sees Jasmine, who is already pregnant, his heart aches and deliberately wants to torture himself in front of Jasmine, so he goes out to defend Caesar against the current.
You know, if you defend a person who is guilty of treason, you are likely to pay yourself in.
Du thought in his heart: Anyway, after Jasmine followed the old man of General Lan, she was unhappy every day, and now she is actually going to give birth to a child for that old man, and her death may be a relief, at least she will not be able to forget it for the rest of her life.
Sure enough, not long after Du finished speaking, everyone present finally woke up from their surprise, and scolded for a while:
"Do you know what you're talking about? Caesar has a lot of credit, can he mess around? When the marshal established the empire, he personally said that no matter how great the credit is, you can't run amok with merit!"
"Don't say it, it seems that the Caesar Empire is about to end without it, now that the marshal is in charge, even if the battle commander personally leads the army, we can meet the head-on attack!"
"What is the relationship between you boy and Caesar? ”
In the noise, Cassadine laughed and said sarcastically: "Lord Marshal is now in charge of the empire, we are indeed not afraid of anyone, but if I remember correctly, during the big war a week ago, Lord Marshal was not out of the customs, at that time an Ani beat us to the head and bleed, you are so capable, why didn't you stand up at that time?
What a solemn place in the conference hall of the military headquarters, Cassadine actually scolded the street on the spot, and everyone was stunned, almost unable to believe their ears.
Phoenix shouted, "Cassadine, sit down!
Cassadine shrugged his shoulders and said: "Phoenix, you let me sit down, I will definitely not fight against you in normal times, you are for my good, I know, but I just can't see the shameless appearance of these dogs! Yesterday in the Holy Miracle Square, why did Caesar make such a drastic move that defied common sense, no one has mentioned it yet, and the matter has not been investigated clearly, so he just shouted and shouted and killed, interesting? I think it's not interesting!"
Levi, who had been silent, stood up at this time.
Levi once led the team to participate in the last Dragon Road mission with Phoenix, and his status in the military department was naturally not comparable to Cassadine, and when he got up, many people quieted down.
Levi didn't say much, and said succinctly: "Caesar has merit and fault. I think we should investigate it first and then make a final conclusion. After a pause, he added, "Caesar's strength is second only to the marshal in the empire, let's not blindly persecute him, in case he is forced to hate, it will not necessarily be a good thing to go to the opposite side of us." ”
This last sentence is very effective, and many people who shouted and killed before were shocked in their hearts and stopped talking.
Watar, Cassadine, and Levi spoke for Caesar one after another, and the arrogance of the others decreased slightly, and they all looked at the marshal and the two generals of the dragon and the woman, who had not expressed their position, and how this matter was finally decided still depends on their meaning.
The female general said softly: "I will listen to the orders of the marshal. General Lan, what about you?"
General Lan coughed and said, "I also obey the marshal's arrangement. ”
Phoenix raised the spirit of the twelve, looked at the marshal, and knew how the military department would treat Caesar next, mainly depending on the marshal's words.
I saw the marshal smile, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, calm down for a while, and then slowly spoke: "That day in the Holy Miracle Square, I said to Lady Elaine of Earth Street that I would kill Caesar. However, over the past day, listening carefully to what had happened during the years of my retreat, including what Caesar had done before and after the Second Civil War, I felt more and more that although he was a little rebellious and radical, his heart for the empire was always warm. Are you right, Officer Phoenix?"
The phoenix got up and said loudly: "Caesar has smashed the conspiracy of the battle mage many times, saved many imperial compatriots, and also saved me; these are all small achievements; but in the Dragon Road, he won the 'homecoming' and 'integrity' from the hands of his disciple Flame Mouse, although he gained and lost, he infiltrated the Black Wing War alone and recaptured the 'integrity' again, which was all strategically for the empire to win the initiative in the north; He has made so many contributions, struggled on the edge of life and death countless times without the slightest wavering, and without a heart that is enthusiastic enough for the empire, he will never be able to do it. ”
This is the first time that Phoenix has spoken since entering the hall.
After all, she is Caesar's teacher, and she rashly opened her mouth to express her position, which inevitably led to the suspicion of covering up, and now she has spoken with reason, neither humble nor arrogant, although the words obviously help Caesar, but it is irrefutable.
Because that's what Caesar did, and it's all hard facts!
After hearing this, the marshal nodded and said: "That's right, especially the fact that Caesar went deep into the north and won the 'complete' for the second time, I'm afraid not many people present know about it." ”
Long Jun asked in a deep voice, "Lord Marshal, are you ...... Are you going to spare Caesar?"
The marshal asked lightly: "Now that the post-war reconstruction work is heavy, and the battle mages in the north are still eyeing each other, is Colonel Long Jun planning to cling to Caesar and forget his duty?"
When the marshal was away, Long Jun, as the son of the imperial colonel and General Long, would not say anything serious about him even if General Lan and the female general were not there.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the marshal's obviously dissatisfied words, and he was stunned for a moment, his face flushed, and he stammered: "No...... Can't...... I...... I'm not ......."
The marshal took a breath and said loudly: "Regarding Caesar, we will send people as soon as possible to find a way to get him back, find out the cause and effect, reward and punishment, and deal with everything fairly." Actually, there are a lot of questions about my identity, why do I say that I am a marshal, the specific reason has not been explained to you, since you are willing to believe me, you should also be more tolerant and give Caesar a little more trust, right?"
The whole hall was silent, and the people who shouted to kill Caesar before were a little embarrassed, and no one expected that the marshal would stand up and speak for Caesar.
In fact, Phoenix himself did not expect that the marshal's attitude would change so much.
