Chapter 25 Bright Sword
The gates of the war zone were opened and closed, and most of the people in the war zone did not know what was happening, except for the soldiers stationed on the walls and the two hundred archers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Everything was calm, there was no conflict and no bloodshed. Caesar and his party entered the war zone in a low-key manner without attracting much attention.
Half an hour later, in the headquarters of the person in charge of the war zone, Elaine listened to the detailed description of the current situation in the south by the head of the war zone, her face turned pale, and she snorted coldly rarely.
According to the person in charge, the investigation of Earth Street is true, not the alarmist words of the young sergeant on the city wall before.
The actual situation was worse than Elaine thought, and almost all business activities in Earth Street were suspended or taken over by the military department.
Although Xu Wenjing actively tried to communicate with the military department, the military department seemed to have made up its mind, and the power of Xu Wenyuan's faction, which had previously failed in the power infighting on Earth Street, was revived and fought with the military department, as if it was already helping the military department weaken or embezzle the power of Earth Street.
Elaine now has a long list of high-ranking Earth Street personnel who have been placed under house arrest or directly arrested in this investigation.
And the most unacceptable thing for Elaine is the top score on the list, which is the name of her and Xu Ziling, the founder of Earth Street: Xu Keng's father!
"Damn! The military department can really do it this time, even my son dares to move!" Elaine, who has always been calm, is a mother after all, and her son's safety is at stake, and she can't remain absolutely calm as always.
The person in charge of the war zone was a man with a rather elaborate beard, in his fifties, his temples were gray, but his body and physique did not show any signs of age, and he sat there with a waist as straight as a gun.
He looked at Elaine calmly, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone unique to soldiers: "Personally, I still think that there should be some misunderstanding between the military department and your Earth Street, and everyone will be fine if they make it clear." However, the order of the military department is an order after all, I can't keep you for too long, my subordinates were too rude before, and I apologize here. But there is one thing I agree with him - I will arrange for an airship to send you to the imperial capital later, and if there is any misunderstanding and how to solve it, you can directly talk to the three generals of the military department. ”
Elaine listened but did not answer, but turned to Master Cole and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Master Cole almost didn't think about it, so he said resolutely: "The emperor will definitely not be able to go, and now you are the only one left in the entire Earth Street who has not been controlled by the military department. Talk to the military department, you can, and absolutely necessary, but you can't go to the imperial capital to talk. ”
When the person in charge heard this, his face changed, and he said unhappily: "What do you mean by this, don't you two believe in the justice and fairness of the military department?"
Elaine sneered: "I only know that when I went deep into the north to pick up the people who should have been rescued by the military headquarters, I swallowed my son, my subordinates, and all the inheritance left by my husband!"
The person in charge is also about a child, and he can understand Elaine's gaffe at the moment, he is not angry, but just sighs, lowers his voice and says, "I don't know much, but probably...... Or maybe it's because of Russell. I heard that the person who rescued Caesar was Russell, and Russell was suppressed by the marshal because of treason, and the generals decided to do something against you on Earth Street this time, I am afraid that the main reason is that you are involved with Russell, and Caesar is not the main reason......"
"You know a lot. Elaine looked at the person in charge coldly.
"Although I am only the person in charge of a small theater of operations, the connections and intelligence network in the military department are quite extensive. "The person in charge does not change his face.
"You just said that Russell was a traitor, and we had a relationship with him on Earth Street before being targeted by the military department?"
"Isn't it?" the person in charge stared into Elaine's eyes.
Elainha sneered, and said mockingly: "As far as I know, the traitor Russell in your mouth just fought in the Great Commander of the Black Wing Battle and Battle Dynasty not long ago, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, this is what you call treason?!"
The person in charge was obviously shocked, and it took a long time for him to react, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did this information come from? Is it reliable? What else?"
Elaine shook her head and said unceremoniously, "No comment!"
In fact, Elaine has basically guessed the truth of the matter in her heart, the person who used the knife on Earth Street is ostensibly the military department, but in fact he is definitely the blue general among the three generals.
"Hell, does that bastard have to take all the power into his own hands to be at ease?" thought Elaine.
There are some things that only a very few people can understand.
At the beginning, General Lan took advantage of the conflict between Caesar and the Twelve Round Tables to dissolve the huge Twelve Round Table family by thunderous means, and declared Caesar the designated heir.
In the eyes of many, the focus is on dissolving a super family alliance in the empire and making the empire's power more centralized.
Elaine knew that after that, General Lan had actually secretly taken most of the power of the Twelve Families into his own hands.
So on the surface, the factional battle between the two generals of the military department, Long and Lan, is still evenly matched, but in fact, after General Lan swallowed the Twelve Round Table, his potential strength has completely surpassed that of General Long.
In the eyes of an understanding person like Elaine, General Long belongs to the kind of person who is very simple for the empire, and has no desire for power, and when it comes to power struggles, Long is too far behind Blue.
This sudden move by the military headquarters to Earth Street must have been General Lan's idea, and General Long may have acquiesced to General Lan's dismemberment of Earth Street to expand the military department - or General Lan's own power in order to gain more chances for the empire in the fierce Second Civil War.
Elaine even thought that maybe General Lan had learned about the fact that he had reached a private agreement with the female general and left the empire temporarily, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that during the time when he was not in the south, he made a lightning attack on Earth Street, which had no one to preside over the overall situation?
According to Elaine's original plan, after bringing Caesar back to the south secretly, she will implement her previous strategy, participate in the war in a relatively low-key manner, not lazy, but not too presumptuous, and communicate with Caesar more to see what is so good about this young man who is highly praised by her husband and what she can bring to Earth Street.
But now it's all messed up.
The investigation of Earth Street was unexpected by Elaine, although General Lan's scheming is annoying, but I have to say that when he is facing the army of battle mages head-on, he can still be distracted to make such a big move in the rear, this ability, and courage, is indeed remarkable.
You must know that at the time of the Great War, the slightest internal turmoil may collapse completely, and General Lan actually dared to do the opposite to do it when the Earth Street could not be touched the most.
"The emperor will definitely not be able to go back, if I go back, it will really be mermaid meat. Elaine bit her lip and thought, "No matter what, I have to ensure that I am outside the imperial capital, and with my deterrent, he will be fine." But what else can I do? I don't have any power right now!"
Command became quiet for a moment.
Elaine and Cole were worried, pondering how to deal with the sudden change.
The person in charge was thinking about the information about Russell that Elaine had revealed earlier, and if this information was true, it would be too important and must be uploaded to the military headquarters.
Cassadine and Greeneye didn't have a chance to interject, and Cassadine didn't even listen to the conversation between the person in charge and Elaine, he kept looking at the young sergeant who was also present with cold eyes.
The young sergeant had another question on his mind: "That young man said he was Caesar? But I've read Caesar's information, and I'm not a person at all." And after he said he was Caesar, he immediately said that he was making a joke, damn it, is this person playing with me?"
In the dead silence, everyone had their own thoughts.
Then a voice was heard, breaking the silence: "I'll say two words, is it okay?"
It was Caesar who spoke naturally.
He had been listening to it since now, not interjecting at all, and at this moment he opened his mouth to say to Elaine: "If I remember correctly, we are fighting the battle mage right now, right?"
Elaine looked at the past, she still attached more importance to Caesar's words, after the turmoil when she entered the war zone before, Elaine no longer regarded Caesar as the impulsive imp she used to be.
Caesar continued steadily: "I don't think this matter needs to be too complicated, the military department will investigate the Earth Street, I don't know much about it, but as long as the Earth Street has not done anything wrong, and you have always promised that you are outside the imperial capital and do not go back, it is not a big problem." ”
Elaine nodded, Caesar was in line with her.
"So what do you think should be?" asked Elaine.
"I said that I went back to the South to do something, and although there are still many memories that I haven't recovered, since I am now in the Second Civil War, I will fight. Caesar shrugged his shoulders and said very easily, "I don't think you need to continue to hide, stand up directly on behalf of Earth Street, and lead the troops to the nearest Surha war zone, which is currently the second battlefield in the Plains of Despair after the imperial capital, we will spend three days to clean up the situation there, and then go to the imperial capital with enough chips in our hands, things will be much easier." ”
After Elaine took over Earth Street, she has always implemented a low-key route, whether it is arranging for Russell and Caesar to go to the North to investigate, or this secret agreement with the female general, it is all done in private.
Caesar's advice, in a nutshell, is: don't hide, stand up, and go to the fight!
It sounded simple and rough and even a little brainless, but Elaine listened to it, thought about it carefully, and gradually felt that it made sense.
Didn't the reason for the military department's investigation of Earth Street say that "there is a possibility of treason"? Well, I will defeat the battle mage troops in the Surha War Zone in front of the world, and you have nothing to say, right? Do you still have an excuse to continue to make things difficult for Earth Street? At least it is impossible to do anything to the cheating father and those high-ranking people of Earth Street who are under house arrest!
"What about you?" Elaine pondered for a moment, then looked up at Caesar again.
She simply asked, "What about you?", but the actual meaning was only understood by Caesar and her, Caesar had said that he was going to come to the South, but he had not said what he was going to do after coming to the South, and Elaine asked about this.
"I need more strength, both personally and in a secular sense. Caesar replied calmly, "And I think war is a good way to strengthen the power of both sides, so I will go to war with all my might." ”
"Don't you hide it?" Elaine asked solemnly.
"Well, don't hide it. Caesar laughed.
The dialogue between the two is very serious, and at the same time it is also very bland and not exaggerated, so it is very real.
But the person in charge of the war zone who was listening was already frowning, and the young sergeant wondered if there was something wrong with his ears!
No more hiding......
In three days, the Surha theater of operations was pacified......
Do these two know what is coming out of their mouths? )
