Chapter 72 Boring Banquet

These two chapters are quite depressing, so let's take a look at them, and we'll get to the topic tomorrow

A war that excludes and suppresses internal forces, a war that could have been easily won... Or for them, superficial articles can make them live happily without considering the complicated internal factors and living the day of intrigue. And how should I face it after coming to this vortex center...

Before I knew it, I was taken to the military camp with the army. But when I tried to find someone to ask about the situation, I was shocked to find that the only division commander in the entire military camp was left, leaving me as the leader of the division, either ordinary soldiers or deputy staff from various departments. And they were also busy arranging various affairs of the soldiers, including taking leave.

"Sir, our soldiers have been arranged. Since the First and Second Battalions are coming to the imperial capital for the first time, I have not arranged them to leave the military camp for the time being. When the atmosphere has passed during this period, I will arrange for the entire army to be disbanded, and then let the soldiers from other places integrate into the imperial capital soldiers before further consideration." Just when I was at a loss, Matthew had already arranged everything and came to report to me.

"Matthew, the other division commanders have all gone there? Why does it seem like I'm the only one left?" I didn't care about being embarrassed, so I could only ask him. Although Matthew was only promoted recently, he was just an ordinary team leader before.

"Sir, don't you know? Everyone ran home, and other division commanders had residences in the imperial capital. They all went back, and even those soldiers who were in the imperial capital had asked for leave. Most of the people who stayed were near the imperial capital. If they went back now, they would not have time to come back to attend the celebration banquet. In fact, like the adults, you can go shopping in the city now and purchase some things you need so as not to use the short-term supplies provided by the army in the future."

Damn it, it turns out that's the case! It made me feel like I was abandoned. But now I don't know the specific situation of the imperial capital. I ran to the streets recklessly, and it would be difficult to deal with if something happened. After all, it's the imperial capital. Don't say that I haven't officially promoted to any bullshit nobles yet, even if I become a noble, I'm also a garbage person. I guess any person who just runs out here may be a master or a master, just like Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty. I don't want to cause trouble.

"That... sir, in addition to reporting to you, I also... I also have a little unhappy request... I just want to ask for a half-day leave and go back to see my family..." Or my face and relationship, Matthew was a little embarrassed to ask for leave. His direct chief was annoyed and had no acquaintances, but he still asked for leave at this time, and he was really unable to speak.

"What's there to hesitate about this? Go! But you have to come back before the celebration banquet, so as not to find someone if you have something to do." They are raised by their parents in life, and they are their own direct subordinates, so you still have to give this favor. Since you want to give it, then... "Matthew, do you still have those elders and brothers in your family?"

"Sir, in addition to his parents, he also has a younger brother who studies in the Magic and Martial Arts Academy. He is a junior swordsman, but he is very happy to have such a score at the age of 16." Speaking of his younger brother, Matthew's face was full of pride.

"Wait..." As I said that, I immediately ran back to the barracks and took out a sword seized in the battle to destroy the berserkers outside the desert stone city.

This sword is much longer and thicker than an ordinary long sword, but it is sharper than the swords made by the dwarf I saw in Custer City. In addition, the steel and forging are also better, so in my spare time, I let my soldiers run to the dwarf and asked him to add two blood grooves to the front of the sword's edge.

"Sir, this is..." Matthew was full of surprise when he held the sword I stuffed it to him. You know, many division commanders were fighting for this sword at that time, but in the end, he was the commander of the division who did not understand martial arts at all. At that time, everyone was sorry that this good sword was about to be covered with dust, but unexpectedly, it suddenly came to his own hands, which felt like a dream.

"It's not for you, but for your brother. I hope he can come to me to help me after graduation. This can be regarded as my pre-select investment in him!" Whether it's kidding, it's my win over him, anyway.

"Sir, it's his luck that you think of him, but this is really too expensive, and he's still young. I don't want him to waste his martial arts process because of his good weapons..."

"Do you look down on me? A good sword should only work in the hands of the right person, and for me, it can only rust and dust. If you are worried about your brother's martial arts process, then you can wait for the right time before handing it to him. Anyway, I don't want to take back the things I gave. Go, go..." Seeing your gratitude, I just need you to move your heart to me, hehe!

At the celebration dinner, the low-level officers and soldiers were arranged in the barracks. In addition to receiving royal banquets in the palace, all officers with division commanders and above will also receive congratulations from the ministers and rewards from the emperor.

"Mr. Mori, do I think this is congratulations and rewards? Those ministers didn't take us seriously at all, and even the senior officials of our faction didn't take us seriously. Look at a few badges and two hundred gold coins. Is this the reward given to us by the noble emperor?" Constrained my dissatisfaction, I raised the badges to Mori, who was huddling in a corner of the royal banquet hall.

"Idiot, don't you know that almost all the national property has been in the pockets of the Finance Minister's family? Not to mention this kind of unexpected expense, the money that maintains the expenses of the army and the royal family was calculated carefully and accurately to the point of every copper coin. Now in our hands, His Majesty the Emperor is subsidizing the royal family's money... Don't say it, someone is coming."

"You are Shen Hanlong? If so, follow me, Your Majesty the Emperor will summon you!" The visitor was wearing the eunuch's clothes, and walked over and raised his head and asked loudly. He didn't care whether there were two nobles or generals in front of him, as if facing his grandson. Damn, I wonder if he had lost his work like the eunuch...

I didn't answer him and was reluctant to talk to such a guy. I followed him directly to the inner lounge of the banquet hall. On the way, I took out 10 gold coins and stuffed them into the hand of the eunuch, and the guy's face showed a look of disdain. Damn, he was such a vampire, but I had no choice but to take out 40 gold coins and stuffed them into his hand again.

"Boy, you have a future! I'll remind you for your honesty. I heard that you are very smart and have made a lot of contributions. But don't be too smart in it, there are people watching both sides..."

After walking through a place with fewer guests, the eunuch said something confused about not being close to the front and not the shop. However, after a brief look, I understood what happened. The eunuch should be reminding me that it is time to hide my inferiority. The actions I had in the eastern part of the world have probably been heard by the major forces in the imperial capital, and now they have turned their attention to me. Damn, I fell into this vortex as soon as I came back. It seems that there will definitely be no less trouble in the future.

Before entering that room, I stuffed a handful of gold coins into the hand of the eunuch, which made him smile, and even knocked on the door with a smile, and kept saying that if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to the side door of the backyard of the palace to find him. Although I knew that the money was worth it, I still miserable. Half of the reward went into that guy's pocket, which was worth my 3-month salary!

Walking inside, he saluted the emperor first as the eunuch ordered, and then was introduced to several high-ranking officials, but they all seemed to be from Sach and the others. In addition to the emperor, there were also the Minister of Government and the Commander of the Royal God of War Legion who commanded the defense of the inner city, and in addition, Sach and Bavel were standing aside.

Because I didn't know the rules of the game, I didn't dare to turn my eyes or speak randomly, so I could only stand there in a daze. Fortunately, the emperor spoke not long after.

"I heard from Sach that in the battle with the Federation of Sengk, you made great contributions and created an army that is good at siege and defending the city of the military camp. So I want to ask you what plans do you have in the future, or what are your requirements?"

"If you say goodbye to Your Majesty, it is the greatest honor for the villain to be promoted by Lord Monsac and to do his part in the stability of the empire. The villain only hopes to work hard to do what he should do in this position, and the rest of the villain have not thought much about it. What requirements the emperor said about is not something that the villain can bear." Mom, I plan to tell you if there is any request. If I mention what you don't want to give, I won't be missing a copper coin you want. I don't have the qualification to bargain with you...

"This is not what an enterprising imperial officer should say. It's too negative. But I don't blame you for joining the imperial army because you have just joined the imperial army. You are not allowed to do this in the future. In addition, I heard that you want to go to the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy to study magic? I wonder what I can do for you?"

"A villain is ignorant. He will definitely work hard to make progress in the future and will never lose face of the imperial army. Thank you for your forgiveness. In addition, the villain hopes to be admitted to the Magic Martial Arts Academy with his own abilities, so the villain can only understand his kindness." Damn, if you are sent to the Magic Martial Arts Academy with your mouth, then I will not be the first to stand out? I will definitely be killed by someone.

"It seems that you are very strong-willed, so I won't force you. This way, I will give you a magic war, and I hope you can use it as soon as possible." As he said that, an eunuch came over with a long wooden box, and took out the magic war and sent it to the emperor's hand.

"This magical battle was created by the Imperial Royal Alchemist. His magic source is from the Fire Demon-Cancel Crystal produced from the Senke Federation. It can store 5 large fireballs or a giant flame explosion magic..."

After introducing the magic battle that was only inlaid with a medium-sized magic crystal, the emperor said a lot of unnutritional words to encourage me to make progress, and asked me to come out with the box.
