Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Glorious Legend
Captain Cao really wanted to test the identity of this old man, just now he didn't ask the old man's honorable name, but the old man changed the topic after a haha, but let the head Cao punch the cotton.
Now his name is known, but Captain Cao himself is stunned. It's like you just want to hang a grass carp in the river, which is a very normal way of thinking. A fish has been hooked, and you pull the line hard, only to find a shark emerging out of the water!
Captain Cao had been speculating about Pierce's identity for a long time before, and he had almost finalized that Pierce had an unknown relationship with the famous green-armored male division of the Celtic Empire. Now, Captain Cao's guess has been confirmed. Whether it's Pierce or Auerbach, both names were read by Captain Cao when he was reading biographies of famous people in the Celtic Empire.
The impression of Pierce is a little vague, and that's because Pierce is only placed at the back of the military figure in that thick biography, which shows that his status in the Celtic Empire is not so high. Even if Commander Cao wants to study the history of other countries, there is no need to understand that country clearly, from the emperor to ordinary military officials.
In fact, Pierce did not appear in the prominent position of that biography because he was just a military upstart in the modern era of the Celtic Empire, and his debut was not long, and his natural fame would not be too long. But being able to appear in that biography in just a few years is enough to show that Pierce is not ordinary. His nickname for "truth". In addition to his personal attainments in martial arts, it is also a compliment to his ever-changing offensive methods in commanding the army on the battlefield.
Whether it was becoming a sub-saint-level master like the Eighth-Order Sword Sect in his early thirties, or his superb military mastership. Pierce's future achievements are definitely not in the biography that can be revealed.
If Pierce's identity is like a pig hiding in a rat's nest, then Auerbach is also in this place, and it is completely an elephant hidden in a rat's nest! It is much more than a pig in terms of weight and significance.
In Sri Lanka, Captain Cao has a not-so-worthy nickname, "the godfather of the national economy." Captain Cao's axes were all moved, not his own credit, and at most he could only be regarded as a plagiarist. And Auerbach also has the nickname of a godfather. "The Godfather of the Celtic Nation", this nickname is still worthy of the name. There is no moisture at all.
They are also godfathers, but in the literal sense of the word, they are no longer a level of comparison. Even if Commander Cao deserves his name, he is only the godfather of a certain field of the Beamon Empire, a second-rate empire. Auerbach, on the other hand, is one of the two most powerful empires in Pan-America today. The dynastic godfather of the prestigious Celtic Empire!
When it comes to the name Auerbach, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as being known to everyone in the pan-continent. Commander Cao liked to call himself the cornerstone of the empire when he was deceived in the past, but that was also false, and Auerbach was the cornerstone of the real Celtic. Not only that, but even the description in the biography that Commander Cao read called him the minister of the humerus of the Celtic Empire and one of the soul of the real Celtic.
Without Auerbach, there would be no Celtic Empire, which is now so powerful. Without Auerbach, there would be no famous Green Armor Heroes. It's a well-known quote from Celtic, and it's just right to highlight the saga.
Originally, the Celtic Empire was located in the northwest corner of the Pan-American continent. Resources, minerals, and so on are hardly comparable to the Rex Empire, which occupies half of the northeastern part of the continent. To be able to stand side by side with the Rex Empire at the top of the Pan-American continent almost all depends on a figure like Auerbach. At that time, the Seltic Empire launched a foreign war to plunder resources, and in front of them was the kingdom of Atlanta, which was at its peak at that time.
Although only in the name of the kingdom. But Atlanta was already no slouch for the Celtic Empire, and its rise even threatened the status of the Celtic Empire. There were five earth-shattering wars between the two countries, the first of which was even a big soldier at Auerbach. The Celtic Empire was defeated by its opponents and retreated for thousands of miles. In the face of such defeats, Auerbach gradually rose to prominence. And quickly achieved absolute leadership in the military of the empire. The speed of his rise is still touching today.
The next four battles. Auerbach led the brave and ruthless Celtic to win four battles and four victories, all of which won decisive victories. Such an impressive achievement not only established the fact that he was the godfather of the dynasty, but also ruined the kingdom of Atlanta and incorporated the territory of the kingdom of Atlanta into the territory of the Celtic Empire.
At the same time, the Rex Empire at that time was also expanding aggressively, relying on plunder to feed the war, and the already rich and powerful Rex Empire was extremely strong. Their next goal is to march westward and defeat the growing Celtic Empire to reach the top of the Pan-American continent.
Once the ambitions of the powerful are inflated, they are often unstoppable, and Auerbach then led his army eastward, defeating the army of the Rex Empire in two successive battles, also with a great victory. And it was at that time that the Green-Armored Heroic Division, which competed with the famous Purple and Gold Legion of the Rex Empire, appeared on the stage of history, and the leader of this Green-Armored Heroic Division was also Auerbach. To say that he is the founder of this ace powerhouse is not the slightest reputation.
However, in such a situation, Auerbach refused the king's offer at that time, and stopped his tracks, refusing to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the borders of the Rex Empire. This decision caused a huge sensation at the time, and to this day, countless historians believe that if it had not been for Auerbach's refusal to advance eastward, it would have been possible that the Celtic Empire would have been the era of dominance. After two successive battles of the century, the Celtic Empire at that time could be said to have reached the pinnacle of history.
Auerbach's reasons for refusing were also mixed. He refused to fight any more because the nature of the war had changed. At the beginning, he rose to prominence and became the leading figure of the Celtic Empire. It was because the Kingdom of Atlanta threatened the empire. In order to help the empire become rich and strong, and to protect itself, he led his army to conquer this stubborn enemy and laid a solid foundation for the empire. It is said to be a war of aggression, and even more so a forced war of patriotism.
And the Celtic Empire at that time continued to march, and it was not just a simple patriotic war, but a war of aggression. At that time, there were many weak countries in the gap between the two empires, if the war between the two empires was in full flames. The first to suffer were the innocents who survived in the cracks. They will be crushed by the feud between the two empires, and their people will suffer a great catastrophe. Auerbach couldn't bear it, so he refused.
At that time, the king of the Celtic Empire was equally ambitious, insisting on going his own way, believing that the empire was strong enough. Even without Auerbach, the battle could have been won. The result was clear, the Celtic Empire was defeated. Defeated by the alliance of the Rex Empire and the many human kingdoms and principalities that had been instigated and united by the Rex Empire, as Auerbach said, when the nature of the war changed, it was difficult to achieve victory against the will of the people.
Under the advantages of the other, the two empires finally entered a stage of relative peace. Those small countries in the gap between the two empires have also continued to this day, not only as a strategic buffer zone between the two countries, but also as pawns in their open and secret rivalries. As the scales of power swing between the two empires.
Appreciators think that Auerbach's vision is extremely long-term, and it is rare to be able to see the situation clearly on the cusp of the storm. Opponents argue that if a big man like Auerbach could change the times, he threw himself into the forces of the Celtic Empire for hegemony. Even if the Rex Empire united many small and medium-sized countries at that time, it may not be able to withstand the iron hooves of the Celtics.
Auerbach is a substantial quantified figure who uses soldiers like gods, and the biography read by Commander Cao even has this description when talking about Auerbach's military methods: Auerbach can first let a group of old ladies plough all the land of the Celtic Empire, and then send them to the battlefield, and then fight the opponent so that they can't find the north.
Auerbach's level of command seems to be a height unmatched by any other intelligent creature in this world. This sentence is also widely circulated among many people who are familiar with the history of the mainland. It never stops.
If Auerbach had participated, the sacrifice would have been even greater. But there is no victory without sacrifice. This is a truth that all military personnel know. In the end, no one can say clearly whether his decision is right or wrong, the times are always striding forward, and they will not stay forever because of someone or something.
What is even more ironic is that after the struggle for hegemony between the two empires entered the Cold War, the Holy See, which had great influence in the Rex Empire and many small and medium-sized countries, vigorously promoted Auerbach as an anti-war hero, claiming that it was this hero who saved countless innocent lives. The Holy See even canonized Auerbach as the Cardinal of the Holy See for the first time in history, which made countless people feel emotional.
Everyone knows that the Rex Empire is a national belief in the teachings of the Holy See, and even Staples, the imperial capital of the Rex Empire, is called a holy city and a city of angels, because there have been angels who show miracles. However, there are many beliefs in the Celtic Empire, and the influence of the Holy See has never been able to reach the vast majority of the people in the Celtic Empire. If you want to really count it, it makes sense that Auerbach is a pagan who has prevented the Holy See from expanding its influence, after all, without him, the Rex Empire would have broken this formidable opponent.
And the Holy See can forcibly canonize the godfather of the enemy country as a cardinal for such a reason, even if it is just an honorary title with no real power, it seems so abrupt. And in the end, Auerbach gladly accepted it, because Auerbach was also a cultivator with the talent of the Holy Light system, and he could be regarded as a qualified believer of the Holy See.
This led many skeptics of Auerbach at the time to speculate and hype up his refusal to allow the empire to dominate the world, and to collude with the Holy See. It's just that Auerbach, as a client, has never stood up to explain anything, only his honorary title of "cardinal" that was slandered has become a loud nickname for him.
Without even explaining a word, Auerbach is a legendary hero of the Celtic dynasty, and indeed of the entire Pan-American continent. No one can shake such a position, not even those who question him. There may be many strange things in the world, but there is no such thing as a group of eggs joining together to break a steel wall.
Even in the Beamon Empire, Auerbach had a certain influence. Many Beamon historians also believe that Auerbach saved the entire Pan-American continent in disguise, including the Beamon Empire and other intelligent races hiding south of the snowy mountains of Michael Jordan. The human world is the only one, and this is a situation that makes other intelligent races tremble at the thought of it.
Captain Cao was not only stunned, but almost scared to pee. Such a glorious legend appeared in the realm of exile, and it can be explained that he traveled on a whim to wander around the mountains and rivers and wander in seclusion or something, which can be said.
The key thing is that no matter which historical book records the legendary figure of Auerbach, the label for this big man is that he has died! Could this appear in front of Commander Cao as a ghost?
