The letter he left behind was placed in a conspicuous place in his room, making people sigh after reading it. There were many people who felt sorry.
"Leaving the Nochi Empire and going to Appomato" written in the letter was Nicholas's decision. It was considered the most direct evidence of his defection, but it was also his most direct refutation of this unfair decision. He directly pointed the finger at
Jason, the controller of the empire, claimed that he felt the harshness of the world, and because he did not want to be framed and imprisoned again, he had no choice but to retreat to Appomato.
At the end, the letter did not forget to express gratitude to the Northern Army for its continued care.
Such a man who is usually upright and selfless, with outstanding military exploits, and who never forgets to send his best wishes to the Northern Army before defecting, actually defected right away!
The officers and soldiers of the Northern Army did not believe it, Lin Xi did not believe it, and even Appomato's side would not believe it. But the facts were irrefutable. The scouts responsible for monitoring the enemy country saw Nicholas leaving the country alone in broad daylight.
He talked and laughed with some people on the enemy's territory, and then disappeared together into Appomato territory. Moreover, there was more than one person who saw this scene!
No one noticed the strangeness of Nicholas in advance, and no one knew when and how Nicholas got involved with Appomato. Everything seemed like a mystery that could never be known.
But everything seems unimportant. What is important is that the iron-blooded general who led the troops to fight bravely against the enemy not long ago turned into a traitor that everyone despised overnight, just like Hilario who defected before.
Sinner of the empire, enemy of the people, scum of the army!
The action of denunciation was quickly launched in the Northern Army, and the trend became more and more intense. Of course, all this was inseparable from the encouragement of the Lane family.
The empire also responded immediately: it purged Nicholas from the imperial military, regarded Nicholas as an enemy of the Nok Empire, and called on every Nok citizen to have the obligation to use various methods to bring the traitor to justice. At the same time,
Nicholas's residence in the city of Nochi was taken over by the empire and dismissed all servants and family members, but did not hold them jointly and severally liable.
Lin Xi didn't know very well what was happening in the General's Mansion in Noqi City, nor did he know what happened to Grandpa Monroe, Xiaobai and Manu. Now, he had also become the target of attacks by people with ulterior motives.
After the defection incident occurred and the decision to punish Nicholas was made, Naya couldn't wait to strongly recommend to the Northern Army that Lin Xi be expelled from the army on the grounds that Lin Xi was the nephew of the traitor Nicholas!
As soon as the news came out, the entire heavy cavalry regiment was in an uproar. No one knew that Lin Xi, who had always been low-key, actually had such a deep family background. Even Fatty Wiseau was surprised, but his expression soon changed.
Extremely ugly.
Although the sitting method has been banned for a long time, it can never disappear, especially at this moment of uproar, and the identity of the person who stood up to attack Lin Xi is not trivial after all.
"Lin Xi, I'm afraid something bad happened this time. That Naya who works in the military political department is from the Lane family." Wiseau looked anxious. He really didn't want his friend to be implicated.
"Is he from the Lane family?" Lin Xi couldn't help frowning, "No wonder he moves so fast."
At this time, the fat man did not notice the strangeness in Lin Xi's words. Instead, he said in a slightly surprised tone: "You don't know? I thought you knew it already. This Naya is not a good person. Anyone who goes against him or his
Anyone he dislikes will definitely be framed by him. This guy knows how to trick others all day long and has no other abilities at all."
Lin Xi nodded. Fatty didn't know about the conflict with Naya last time, and others didn't treat it as news. After all, there were many people who had been persecuted by Naya, so it was not surprising that Lin Xi didn't know Naya's true identity.
.
Fatty Weisuo saw that Lin Xi was deep in thought and did not dare to disturb him. He shook his head gently and sighed, then turned and left.
"The Lane family is really a pushover. It wants to kill me time and time again, and it's doing the same thing again this time. Well, it's a mortal feud that can't be resolved anyway. The old and new grudges will be remembered together.
Well, as long as you can’t kill me, I will definitely compensate you twice as much.”
Lin Xi still looked very calm, but his hands were quietly clenched into fists, and his blue eyes were full of blazing light.
With the full push of Naya and his family, even though many generals in the army spoke for Lin Xi, they could not extinguish His Majesty Jason's anger. Even the family in Noqi City was brought to a boil. Lin Xi's
Naturally, his status as a soldier was not guaranteed. After receiving the order, the top commander of the Northern Army had to cancel Lin Xi's military membership. Lin Xi was expelled from the army and will never be accepted by the army in the future.
The orders were issued at all levels and soon reached Lin Xi's ears. Just when Lin Xi was about to pack up and say goodbye to his comrades, the leader of the heavy cavalry regiment, a man of short and medium build, Ma Dun, suddenly arrived at his dormitory and said:
I need to take him somewhere.
Arriving at the top floor of the army exhibition building, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous small room. Marton pointed and said, "This is it. Your uncle said that in half a year, when you become a scout,
, let me take you to this reconnaissance elite showroom, he said you should take a good look at the things inside. But I didn't expect things to change so quickly, you have to leave the army early and go in, Lin Xi."
As he spoke, Marton took out a bunch of keys, turned his back to Lin Xi and struggled to open the small door that was not eye-catching at all. After Lin Xi entered, he shook his head and stood guard outside.
Lin Xi was puzzled. He had no idea what his uncle said that he would become a scout in six months, let alone what was waiting for him in this showroom. But since it was his uncle's explanation, he must have his own reasons.
.
After entering, Lin Xi found that the small room was full of portraits on the walls. Other than that, the surroundings of the room were empty. Only a few pots of flowers were placed in the four corners to give the long-silent room some life.
A little angry.
The light in the room was quite bright, so it was not difficult to look at it. After Lin Xi looked around, his eyes naturally fell on the yellowed portrait on the wall.
The portraits are all human heads, each one lifelike. Some portraits are obviously old, not only have they turned yellow, but the edges have also begun to curl up and wrinkles have appeared. Lin Xi looked carefully from the outside to the inside.
The portraits are arranged in chronological order, the closer to the present the closer they are to the inside.
The Scout Exhibition Room displays the most famous reconnaissance soldiers in the history of the Northern Army. Although some of the figures in the portraits look very ordinary, and some even look a little silly, making it difficult to tell the true identities of these people.
But after learning their identities, Lin Xi was still in awe. After all, those who can display their portraits here are definitely not ordinary people.
Stopping and walking, touching and touching, suddenly, his eyes became moist.
