Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 1219: Frozen Green (Part 1)

The imperial capital racecourse with a century-old history is as lively today as ever. However, it is no longer the roars and sounds of gamblers and spectators because of excitement and loss, and the huge clearing in the center is no longer a picture of riders driving horses across one obstacle after another—it can hold thousands of people. In the spectator's auditorium, hundreds of imperial gendarmes were solemnly lined up in a row, looking around the inside and outside of the arena; while in the huge open space below, there were hundreds of additional seats.

Located at the northern end, the neatly trimmed lawn is a high platform that is usually used to commend the champion of the season championship or the player who broke the record in a single game; under the huge coat of arms of the golden horse, it is meticulous Of men are listening to something on the walkie-talkie, holding their breath, for fear of something wrong.

Just now, he received the news that His Majesty the Emperor has delivered a brief speech in Drekers Square and is currently driving to the racecourse. As the head of the Imperial City Hall, he is the leader in charge of all this at the moment when Prime Minister Osborne is temporarily absent. Although the civil war has just ended, the Republic seems to have no obvious actions, and things like the one four months ago shouldn't happen, but it still makes his nerves extremely nervous. Before the emperor really stepped into this grassland with a century of history, he couldn't really relax.

However, what is different from the toiled man is that at this moment in the top box of the racecourse, a group of people are talking and laughing, and the atmosphere looks quite relaxed. Under the guidance of Marshal Van Dijk, Heliga briefly met here with the senior officers of the regular army who participated in the ceremony. Due to the element of Marshal Van Dijk’s return to the army, in addition to the young soldiers who should have been commended, there are also many high-ranking generals in the regular army; it’s just that they are here, apparently for other reasons. What is the purpose of it.

Lien refused Marshal Van Dijk’s invitation because he still wanted to refuse to meet with Prime Minister Osborne’s former colleagues and subordinates. In this regard, Marshal Van Dyke, who seemed to see through, didn't force it, but told Li En that if he changed his mind, he could come over at any time. As for Heliga, he didn't react that much; after all, he wasn't even ashamed of the boss of this group.

Of course, it wasn't just Prime Minister Osborne's faction who were there. At this moment, the two regular division commanders who are talking with Heliga are Major General John Morrow, and Major General Jarrett Knox, who previously served as the highest commanders of the 6th and 7th Mech Divisions. After they learned of Heliga's identity, they all came up to talk in a polite manner. After all, it was Heliga's command that saved the main force of the two of them from the annihilation of General Alleria.

"So that's the case... So, I can't completely blame you." Heliga said, he was listening to the two men explaining why they did not appear to command the troops in the civil war. It turned out that when the war just broke out, the two of them were hit hard by the elites of General Alleria. After many breakthroughs to no avail, they had to turn to the mountains to take advantage of the terrain and Alleria’s mecha units. deal with. However, because Alleria's offensive was so swift and violent, these two independent units were quickly beaten to shame. The two commanders were also sick and wounded, and temporarily lost their ability to command.

Fortunately, Major General Knox, the commander of the 7th Mech Division, knew that his trump card Mulla Vandel was a close friend of Prince Oribat, and the prince must also be able to get the news quickly and make the right decision. decision. The fact is indeed the case. After learning the news, Olibate took the "Red Wing" to the west and took over the command of the two units. Then the "Red Wing" coordinated and guided the two units to reconcile. At the same time, they continued to fight with Alleria by focusing their superior firepower. Seeing that Olibat was so courageous, and the conditions of the two of them really no longer allowed them to command the army, they handed over the command of the army directly to Olibat, and then passed the "Railway Gendarmerie" The channel was transferred to the post-war hospital for recuperation.

Except for the Seventh Mech Division, which was originally close to Oribart, after this incident, the Sixth Mech Division also had the meaning of being closer to Oribart. As Oribat's ally and the person who personally directed them to complete the miraculous strategic transfer, Heliga naturally got the two of them to look at each other in a different light.

Of course, this was not because Heliga defeated Alleria in strategy and tactics, but because he had special abilities that no one else had. But in any case, this is indeed a real result of Heilijia; after seeing Heilijia in, one of the people who surrounded him one after another commented this way.

Heliga looked at the elderly middle-aged man-after he spoke, the soldiers who had been chatting happily just now closed their mouths almost instantly and quietly looked here. As for the reason... Heliga glanced at his left shoulder: Four shining golden stars, plus a Phoenix medal with a silver frame, understood.

"This is General Gaspar Oak." Marshal Van Dijk introduced for Heliga. "Former commander of the Fifth Mech Division, commander of the Northern Army, and currently the general staff of the Ereponia Empire. long."

"Served under Marshal Van Dijk, and Prime Minister Osborne is also considered a colleague. In addition, the Lieutenant General Valta you already know is my adjutant when I was in the Fifth Mech Division." The soldier had a solemn expression. The way of speaking is meticulous, and the way of speaking is always revealing majesty, "If the old marshal had not announced my return, the prime minister would probably have promoted me to the new field marshal." There is no pity or threat in this statement, but it is purely truthful. That's it.

"So, is the former Marshal going to be squeezed directly by Marshal Van Dijk?" Heliga asked casually.

"No... Since Marshal Van Dijk retired, there have been no more marshals in the army." The other party replied, "That's why...Before the beginning of the civil war, the military had been uncertain about how to deploy the leader. Vigilance, and thus suffered a big loss."

"So that's it." Helija nodded, "But... the days of the army without a leader are coming to an end. You came here to tell me this, is there any deep meaning in it? I don't want to go around, just say it if you have something. Bar."

Admiral Gaspar looked at Heliga with a careful look. His gaze flicked over the Brigadier General star on Heliga's shoulder; then he had some murderous eyes on the pair of Shanghai Lijia.

Gaspar, who had been a soldier all his life, suddenly felt a sense of crisis that his prey was being targeted by hunters. For some reason, the words that had already reached his lips, representing the hostility of the military's conservatives, were swallowed abruptly by him.

It's a pity that there are always some people who don't understand the truth about accepting as soon as they see it.
