Therefore, it is unfortunate that Nicholas, who actually made no mistakes in tactical command, had to be pulled down for a reason that could not be called obscure and became the person responsible for this incident.
Although he was not immediately stripped of his military rank, nor was he transferred to a military court for trial, there is no doubt that Nicholas's military career has come to an end. Not only is there no hope of reinstatement, he is even an idler and is not allowed to step out of the northern military camp.
Step, you have to stay here at all times and wait for orders.
As for what it meant to stay in the northern military camp and wait for orders, colleagues who supported and sympathized with Nicholas did not want to think about it. The enemies who wished that he would be completely defeated immediately started to have wild imaginations as soon as the news spread. Or maybe he would be completely deprived of officers.
If you have a high-level status, you will be rushed back to your hometown and will not enjoy any treatment as an officer, or you will be transferred to a military court and prosecuted for crimes such as dereliction of duty and incompetence in combat. You will eventually be imprisoned and spend the rest of your life in a cage.
Anyway, the one who made the decision, His Majesty Jason of the Empire, left easily after inspecting Neo City and secretly returned to Nochi City under the escort of a group of elite soldiers and generals, leaving only numerous discussions among the officers and soldiers.
When Lin Xi heard the news at first, he could hardly believe his ears. But the facts were there. The decision was personally promulgated by the king of the country. It could no longer be faked. He complained about his uncle, and then his heart became full of anger.
, couldn't stop kicking off the ground, and wanted to rush out of the legion to catch up with Jason and his party, and ask Jason face to face why he did this.
He didn't believe that he would be wrong about Jason, even though Jason was the biggest king, and he had practiced the black science to the extreme, and the city was as deep as Li Manghai. He was a mature politician with strong governance ability.
, a good king who cares about his people, would use a flimsy and even despicable excuse to make the best general of the empire take the blame because of an irreversible defeat?
But the hard facts were before his eyes, which made him believe that he had indeed made a mistake. It also made him no longer have the slightest fondness for Jason, but instead he felt a bit more disgust and hatred.
Almost everyone in the army was talking about this matter openly or covertly. There was only one topic, but the derivatives seemed to be endless, causing these soldiers who had no combat missions to talk about it.
The person involved in the incident, Nicholas, was the calmest. He stopped intervening in the reconstruction work of Neo City and did not complain. He only went into his room and came out only after a long time. Occasionally he also talked with his old superiors and new subordinates who came to visit.
Ichiban seemed to have accepted this decision and was willing to be an idler.
Lin Xi did not go to his uncle. He believed that his uncle, who knew the matter best, would find an opportunity to tell him the truth.
Naya didn't pick on Lin Xi in person these days, nor did he use a knife on Lin Xi behind his back, but he was very proud because he saw Nicholas' downfall and witnessed another display of the family's super power.
A few days ago, Thomas, the head of the Lane family and the secretary of the interior, who had been in contact with him, suddenly told him that in addition to the commander of the Western Army O'Wymans, Linxi actually had a closer relationship in the army. The former regiment of the Heavy Cavalry Regiment
Sir, Nicholas, the current top official of Neo City, is actually Lin Xi’s uncle!
Naya immediately expanded the scope of hostility and aimed the fight at the two of them. In his opinion, it would take more effort to bring down Linxi Fei. If Nicholas was not brought down first, Linxi would be killed because of his protection.
Continue to stay in the military, continue to be prestigious, and continue to be promoted.
Therefore, he immediately reported to Thomas his plan to make a fuss about the Battle of Neo City. The patriarch had obviously had this idea for a long time and simply told him to wait for the news and prepare to concentrate on dealing with Lin Xi.
Unexpectedly, Nicholas, who once commanded thousands of troops and fought with great strength, would be pulled off his horse so quickly. If Thomas was not involved in this, Naya was the first to not believe it.
While Naya was in the office thinking about how to further attack Linxi who was alone, Nicholas approached Linxi.
"Uncle, have things really reached a point of no return?" Lin Xi wanted to ask this question the most.
The calm expression on Nicholas's face remained unchanged. He said nothing and just nodded to extinguish the remaining hope in Lin Xi's heart.
Then, Nicholas said: "Don't worry about me, and don't resent His Majesty Jason. Linxi, you have to know that going against the head of a country means going against the entire state machine. This must be kept in mind. As for me, at best
That is to say, he was deprived of his official position. As a soldier, everything is about the country, and honor is the number of enemies you killed and the best you could do to defend your home and country. Don’t let this be a false reputation!"
After Lin Xi was tempered outside, he was no longer as ignorant as before, and he no longer saw things only on the surface. He still said with concern: "But I heard that the empire will have follow-up actions to deal with you, uncle.
I heard that you may be transferred to a military court for trial. Needless to say, the driving force behind this must be Thomas of the Lane family. In order to deal with me, you, uncle, were humiliated for no reason."
"Just take it as such!" Nicholas chuckled instead, "One honor and one disgrace can't mean anything. This is just a temporary testimony, not a final decision. Lin Xi, no matter what happens to your uncle in the future, you must be as strong as ever.
You know how to survive and become a truly top warrior?"
Lin Xi suddenly felt a sense of sadness for no reason. Are his uncle's words considered a farewell message? It seems to be more than that. But when he looked up and found that his uncle's face full of grooves was still calm and calm, he felt that he had an illusion.
, or simply worry too much.
"There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, and the same goes for uncle. Linxi, you don't have to worry about me on this matter. Okay, that's all. Remember, continue to be yourself, work hard towards your goals, and don't worry about it.
If you are troubled by the outside world, you should not let the outside world influence you." Nicholas stood up, then smiled at Lin Xi, turned around and left.
Lin Xi was left with a tall and firm figure that will never be forgotten and one that is not lonely at all.
In the following week, Lin Xi didn't see her uncle coming to Wuwei City to look for her again. During this period, the discussion about Nicholas also gradually subsided, and everything seemed to be the same as before, except that there was one less outstanding general to continue leading the troops in battle.
But then, the Northern Legion, which had just calmed down, heard a thunderbolt in the clear sky, shaking the entire legion, even as much as a super earthquake, and this time, it was still related to Nicholas!
No one could have guessed that General Nicholas, who had been fighting for most of his life, would defect!
