"Major Phoenix, I must warn you that it will be difficult for us to keep Caesar's record as 'missing' instead of 'dead'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A sergeant looked at the phoenix with a blank expression.

He pushed his glasses and continued in a stern and indifferent tone: "According to the custom, the state of disappearance can be declared a state of death if it lasts until three days ago, and for your sake of your face, it has been extended for three days, do you think this is appropriate?"

"How is it not appropriate?" replied in a cold voice, not the phoenix, but Cassadine.

Cassadine's left arm was still bandaged, and it seemed that the wounds he had suffered from fighting the leader of the rebel party of the Forest Clan had not yet healed, and he looked at the sergeant with disgust in his eyes, "Caesar has an unusual meaning to the Empire, as long as his body is not found for a day, we will not give up for a day, and if he is still alive, wouldn't we give up an important future talent if we take the initiative to give him up?"

The sergeant still looked calm and cold, neither angry nor anxious, and said: "Major Cassadine's words can be said to other adults who are higher than me, I am just a clerk, and what you say has nothing to do with me. ”

Cassadine's eyes suddenly revealed a strong evil spirit, and his temper had not been very good lately.

"Alright, Cassadine, you don't have to worry about it. Phoenix, who had been silent, finally spoke, she motioned Cassadine to step away, and then said to the sergeant, "Ten days, ten more days of disappearance, continue the search." After 10 days, if there is no result, it is not too late to change to a state of death. ”

The sergeant frowned, and was about to say something more, when the phoenix snorted, and a strong wind and thunder suddenly surged on his body, forcibly blocking the sergeant's words.

The sergeant's face changed, he stared at the phoenix for a long time, and when he saw the power of the wind and thunder that was gently bouncing on the phoenix's fingertips, his eyelids jumped sharply, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay, ten days." Farewell. ”

Waiting for the sergeant to leave, Cassadine said angrily: "Phoenix, why did you stop me just now, this kind of bullying bastard, I directly tore his mouth! You really don't know what the situation is now? This is clearly the one who is targeting you, and it is also targeting the blue general behind you." ”

"The hunting season of the food island, as well as this unified examination, are all led by General Lan and cooperated by General Long, and you don't know that person's temperament, the hunting season and the unified examination have been disrupted by the battle mage, especially this time the loss is so huge, that one is about to take this opportunity to criticize and suppress the various strategies formulated by General Lan!"

The more Cassadine spoke, the more excited she became, and Phoenix couldn't help but sigh secretly, of course she knew what the situation was now.

This involves the relationship between the three major generals of the empire, among the three major generals, General Lan is the strongest, full of decision-making power, and has a tough style; General Long is the oldest and steady, and has the same power as General Lan, but in general is not as offensive as General Lan; and the third general, and the only female general among the three generals, for some reason, is very disgusted with General Lan, so she always opposes everything that General Lan decides.

Even about the various important strategies for the opening of the Dragon Road next year, the female general kept singing the opposite tune, until General Long came out to speak and supported General Lan's strategy, and she gave up.

But the hunting season was frustrated, and the unified examination was seriously disrupted by a tsunami, so that the female general instantly found enough excuses to strongly question General Lan's decision-making.

You must know that now the Marshal and the Lord Wu are in the third floor of the real hall of the Dream City all the year round, and they can't go out of retreat, and the three generals are the three heads of the empire.

The trouble between these three people is much more serious than the trouble of the Twelve Round Table, Earth Street, or the Forest Clan a while ago!

Seeing that the phoenix didn't speak, Cassadine said again: "You also know the phoenix, that adult hates you even more than he hates General Blue. I even think that one of the important reasons why that old woman hates General Lan so much is that she is jealous that you are too good......"

"Well, let's not say anything about that. "The phoenix stopped Cassadine, and in this long time, there are some things that cannot be said casually.

Phoenix looked out the window, the city's recovery and reconstruction was underway, and the scars from the previous tsunami were barely visible on the surface.

Looking at the busy people in the outside world, Phoenix said softly: "I know how much pressure I need to bear if I insist on looking for Caesar now, and I also know that after ten days, if Caesar still can't be found, I'm afraid that the lord will use this as an excuse to punish me directly." After all, at such a critical time, it seems unreasonable to insist on allocating a large number of military personnel to find my students. But it doesn't matter. Ten days later, if Caesar really can't be found......"

Speaking of this, the phoenix stopped.

Cassadine frowned and asked, "What if I can't find it yet?"

Phoenix smiled and said calmly, "Then I'll use my personal connections to continue looking." Don't use the resources of the military department to find it, that person has nothing to say. As for relegation penalties and stuff, you should know I don't care about that at all. ”

Cassadine was silent.

Although Phoenix said that he didn't care about punishment, Cassadine knew the situation of the empire very well, because to fight against the battle mages in the north, the resources of the empire would never be enough, so in terms of resource allocation, it needed to be formulated strictly according to the rank of the army. If the phoenix is demoted, then it will not only be a reduction in status and authority, but it will also directly affect the cultivation resources she can obtain!

The atmosphere in the ward was somewhat oppressive.

This is Cassadine's ward, his injuries are really serious, he was almost beaten to the fall level, although he has retained his cultivation, he should not leave sequelae, but it will take time to recover his strength in his heyday.

"Alright, I'll go next door and take a look at Green Eyes. Phoenix got up, smiled and motioned to Cassadine not to think too much, then turned and quietly left the room.

Before the door closed, Cassadine suddenly asked, "Phoenix, do you think that boy Caesar is dead or alive now?"

This is a question that the two have never discussed before, or deliberately avoided, and the previous discussion was whether they should be found, not whether Caesar was still alive.

"What do you think?" asked Phoenix.

Cassadine hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "Although I agree with continuing to search for Caesar, I don't think the chances of him surviving are really small. ”

"That's right. Phoenix nodded and closed the door with his hand, "Caesar is still alive, that's for sure." ”

Phoenix knew that Caesar was still alive, which was the reason why she insisted that the military department send someone to find her, even though she was under tremendous pressure from the female general.

But the fact that Caesar is still alive, or such a positive judgment, was not made by the phoenix himself, but by another person who didn't even expect the phoenix, took the initiative to find the phoenix and tell the phoenix.

That man was Hughes.

Phoenix remembers that the day after the tsunami, Hughes, who was under house arrest because of his status as a member of the Roy family, managed to pass a message to himself, saying bluntly: "I see Caesar on the missing list, but he is still alive, please help find him." ”

To be honest, Phoenix couldn't easily believe Hughes's unfounded words, but she really wanted to believe it, so she chose to believe it.

As the days passed, Caesar was still not heard from.

On the tenth day, Caesar still could not be found, and the record of Caesar was finally changed from missing to dead. Faced with this result, Phoenix was silent for a long time. And the next day, Phoenix received a demote notice from the military headquarters, her military rank was reduced from major to non-commissioned officer, and the resource authority was reduced by three whole levels, only comparable to ordinary soldiers.

It is said that that that night, Cassadine made a big fuss in the military hospital, but it turned out that there was only one more penalty notice, and Cassadine was directly suspended, and the period of reinstatement was postponed indefinitely.

After the tsunami, the Twelve Round Table, Earth Street, and the Forest Clan all stopped, and the three generals of the military department were more stiff than ever.

In the midst of all kinds of turmoil, the date of the final round of the unified examination has arrived.

Yes, the UEC is still ongoing.

After such a huge disaster, he insisted on holding the unified examination, which is what General Lan meant. It is precisely because of this that a large number of military personnel and the imperial people are dissatisfied, and the female general just took advantage of the topic to play, accusing General Lan of being too tough and not knowing how to be flexible, not understanding that the most important thing at this time is to appease the wounds of the people, rather than continuing to hold a high-profile unified examination. General Long chose to remain silent.

In the unified examination, Phoenix originally had a task, that is, to have a showdown with Caesar. She was the last of the three opponents assigned to Caesar.

But now that Caesar has disappeared, Hughes, who could have replaced Caesar in the order of ranking, has his freedom restricted and is under investigation.

What's more, Phoenix herself has been demoted, and she is no longer qualified to test the strength of the seeded players in the unified examination as a representative of senior school officers in the military department.

The UEC will continue to be held on the same day.

City of Dreams.

"You're a phoenix, aren't you?"

After generating the virtual body, a slightly smiling voice sounded behind the phoenix, but this smile made the phoenix hear a faint mockery and ridicule.

Turning around, Phoenix frowned and looked at the other party: "May I ask who you are?"

"The one who replaced you. The other party showed an innocent smile, although this smile appeared on the face of a woman in her forties and not beautiful, which was quite disobedient.

"I'll take your place and compete with Kiki, the granddaughter of General Long, for a high honor. The man was still smiling politely, but then he suddenly showed a look of surprise and surprise, looked at the epaulettes on the phoenix's shoulders and said, "This is ...... Epaulettes for non-commissioned officers, Phoenix, aren't you the youngest major in the Empire?"

The phoenix was silent, didn't say anything, turned around and walked away silently.

The woman smiled, didn't care, and said behind the phoenix, "I'm the Imperial Major, codename Lore. You'd better remember my name, Sergeant Phoenix. ”
