Chapter 008: The Storm is Coming

This small procession, which had traveled from the province of Odo, had crossed almost the entire eastern part of the empire, and on the afternoon of the seventh day, finally stood before the gates of Osvia.

"Let's go, let's go separately when we enter the city, Jesse and I will go see your lordship, you go buy some things you need, remember to wait for us at the door of Lord Baron Baird, that place is easy to find." ”

"Got it, sir. Gal responded.

Cillin and Jesse each rode a horse into the city gate, and then walked towards the Imperial Military Office.

Garr and the others waited a little longer before entering the city, but they did not swagger on their horses, not because they did not want to, but because the laws of the empire stipulated that only officers of the empire at the battalion level and above, as well as the troops stationed in the imperial capital, could ride in the city.

Garl led their horses, and after entering the city, they did as Sirin had instructed, and this small group soon disappeared into the streets of the imperial capital.

With an area of 450 square kilometers and a population of about three million people, Osvia is the largest city on the entire continent, and even the Demon Emperor's Castle is slightly inferior.

There are a lot of people in the central square, winter in Osvia has not yet arrived, this season is the most beautiful, there is no cold wind, there is no hot sun.

Cilin and Jesse first walked down the street from the east gate to the central square, which is the habit of every people of the empire, because this is the only place where the whole empire is the core.

The two tied their horses to a special place and walked for a while.

There are not only statues of Augsgro the Great, but also statues of many heroes of the empire, and you can see the Senate along the central street.

Yes, the Senate is in the middle, but it is also only suitable for the middle, the east side of the Senate is the Imperial Palace, and on the west side is the administrative district and the Imperial Military Office and the General Staff.

"Xilin, this is the first time you have come to the imperial capital. ”

"The third time, the first time was brought by the general, and the other time was when the students organized by the academy came to the imperial capital for inspection. Cillin said as he walked, "By the way, Jesse, you can be considered home, hehe......"

"My parents are in Ouluna, and only my uncle is here. Jesse said.

"Well, it's good that Baron Baird is in the Military Service. ”

The two walked and talked, and it didn't take long for them to reach the end of the street.

"Oh, the marble is still so shiny. Jesse looked up at the main entrance of the Senate, where there were six huge marble columns, the smooth surface of which was constantly reflecting the sun's light.

"The Senate, a good place, but the Empire probably doesn't need it. Xilin said as he looked at the closed door behind the stone pillar.

"Perhaps, but no one dares to move now, because our great people have awakened. ”

"Wake up, wait another hundred years. Cillin scoffed, obviously not believing anything like this.

The two of them only paused for a moment and walked towards the military office, because they were going to Wiesna, which was in charge of the military office.

"Please let me know, we are from Odo, and we are looking for Lord Angus. Sirin walked up to a sentry and spoke in an Imperial official with a slight Otto accent.

"Okay, please wait. "The sentry was clearly polite.

After a while, the sentry came out, "My lord, Lord Angus is inside, please follow me." With that, he led the two Xilin into the military affairs office.

Don't look at the military affairs department, there are more than a dozen sentries standing guard on the surface, but secretly there is a huge defense force, the Imperial Supervision Department is subordinate to the Military Affairs Department, but compared to the Central Army of the Imperial General Staff, the strength of the procuratorial office is obviously not worth mentioning.

The two of them followed the sentry in the military office for a while, turning an unknown number of corners, and then finally met the sentinel's polite voice: "Two adults, Lord Angus is inside." With that, he smiled politely again and left.

Jesse looked up at the door number, there were two rows of words on it, one row of small letters on the top read: Organization Department of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, and below: Executive Deputy Minister.

"Uh......" Jesse looked helpless, this military affairs office is really funny.

"Let's go, go and meet the Deputy Minister. ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Come in. A voice came from inside.

"Lord Angus!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Well, it's not slow to come, if it's a day or two late, you may not be in the imperial capital. Angus said with a smile.

Angus used to be a classmate of Sillin's father, the imperial elite created by the Imperial Military Academy, but he graduated and went to the military department, while Sillin's father has been promoted to the governor of Odo.

In fact, the positions of the two are similar, but one belongs to the Military Affairs Department, and the other is the Imperial General Staff, and the Governor of Odo Province is equivalent to such a minister's position, if it is the Governor of Odo, it will be much more powerful.

Angus was a talkative man, and Sirin had met him during his second visit to the imperial capital, and although his father and he did not belong to the same system, this did not affect the friendship between the two.

"You two sit down, there's nothing to do, just a stamp, you can go to office, Wiesner is a little messy, but he can do more. Angus said without the slightest qualms.

"Then when can we go? Cillin asked.

"Departure, maybe very fast, maybe very slow, it depends on whether our Emperor Xià can survive tonight. ”

"Is Your Majesty really critically ill?" Jesse said.

"It seems that you have also heard that he is critically ill, who knows, maybe he has hung up. Angus was still in his original tone.

"Uh...... Let's get out of town. Jesse said to Cillin.

"Now, this is a letter of appointment, be careful on the road, the governor of the province is nothing, and it would not be good to talk about anything else. Angus looked at Cillin and said.

Hearing him say this, Jesse looked at Cillin strangely, but did not make a sound.

"You'd better leave early, it's too late. Angus continued.

"What about you?" said Cillin looked at Angus' smile.

"I, I'm from the Military Affairs Department, and whoever is the emperor will always use the Military Affairs Department. Angus said.

"Okay, let's go find them in Gal. Cillin did not give up, picked up the appointment letter on the table and put it in his arms.

"Be careful all the way!" Angus stood up.

"Take care, adults!"

"Take care, my lord!"

Coming out of the military office, the sun seemed to have turned red at this time.

"We've got to hurry, it would be bad if it was as the adults said. Xilin said that he was about to run

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the door of Viscount Baird, where they were already waiting.

"Uncle. ”

"Lord Baron!" said Cillin, saluting.

"No need to be polite, you and Jesse are friends, just call me uncle. ”

Although Baird's position in the empire is not high, he has the title of a baron, you know, the general of an infantry regiment is sometimes just a baron.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, this time Xilin and I have to hurry out of the city, and then reunite with my uncle later. Jesse said hurriedly.

"Why, why don't you go home and sit?" said Baird.

"Not this time, wait for next time. Jesse said.

"Well, since you are in a hurry, I won't force you to stay, be careful on the road, Jesse, if you can't go to Oluna, at least your father is there. Baird confessed.

"Well, I know, goodbye, uncle!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Byrd. ”

"My lord, is there something going on, why are we in such a hurry? Gal asked.

"Let's go out of the city first, and we won't go to the central square, just walk through here. Cillin said.

"My lord, the horses?"

"I don't want the horses. Cillin's heart kept pounding, and he always had a bad premonition.

"Damn, the gates are closed. Jesse scolded fiercely.

A few people stood under the city, but the gates were closed.

"It's still a step too late. Xilin also said indignantly.

"Xilin!"

A voice came through in the distance.

Hearing someone call him, Cillin followed the sound and looked over.

"It's Lord Angus!" Jesse said in surprise.

In the blink of an eye, Angus was in front of him, turned over and dismounted.

"I knew that you would not be able to leave the city so easily, and I got the news that the gates were closed, so I hurried here. Angus said.

"Open the gates!"

"Who?" asked one of the guards above.

"The military affairs department is on business, and the city gate is opened quickly. ”

"My lord, I have been ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city!" said the man above.

"Is this Alva? I'm Angus, open the gates. Angus shouted.

"Open the gates. ”

"My lord, didn't you say you can't open it?"

"Stupid, if I tell you to open it, you will open it. Alva reached out and slapped the subordinate.

"Yes, yes. ”

Thundered...... The gates slowly opened.

"My lord, the gates of the city are opened. Alva said to Angus.

"Let's go. Angus said to Sirin.

"Your ......, my lord"

"It's okay, Alva is one of my former subordinates, and he happens to be a battalion officer at this city gate. ”

"Yes, please come back quickly, sir. Cillin said.

"Okay, be careful!"

With that, Angus mounted his horse, "Ride!" and with a soft shout, he headed for the central square.

"Let's go too!"

"Let's go!"

At this time, a group of more than a dozen people can be regarded as a barrier to the imperial capital.

They all turned on their horses, and a soft cheer was heard, and a dozen people ran in the direction of Wiesna.

After galloping for more than ten minutes, Xilin stood on his horse, turned to look at the imperial capital in the distance, like a prone lion, bathed in the bloody sunset, and then turned to look at the sky, "The imperial capital, finally ushered in the wind and rain again, drive!"

Stepping on the horse fiercely, the figure of the imperial capital is getting farther and farther away.

"Imperial Capital, I'll be back. Xilin said softly.
