July 15th, Saturday, 1206th year of Qiyao Calendar.
The time is 5 o'clock in the morning, the departure time of the last special drill.
Different from the previous three times, I didn’t set out at night this time because there was no need.
The first three internship locations, Sasarante, Crossbell, and Lamar, are all quite far away from the Imperial City. Starting at night can minimize the time on the road, and you can greet the new internship as soon as you wake up.
This internship is in the imperial capital, the center of the empire. Even if you run with both feet, it only takes three hours. If you don't need to carry all kinds of supplies and equipment, Ou, who is famous for his "hard (hard) drills (training)"
Lelia really planned to let her students use their legs to measure the area around the Imperial Capital.
This is also one of the traditions of the guerrillas. Since you want to learn, it is better to learn more thoroughly, learn the essence directly, completely integrate it into yourself, and push it to a higher level. This is Alleria's martial arts.
This time she also went to the imperial capital with him, and specially brought her exclusive mecha onto the Derflinger.
Dr. Schmidt was also chosen to accompany him. The apparent reason was that the two famous bosses of the empire had received invitations to the Midsummer Festival celebration party.
It’s hard to say much if you understand, this matter involves too much...
Not to mention that Alleria also delivered a mobilization speech that seemed impassioned but was actually full of flaws before departure.
"Everyone should be used to this fourth special exercise. However, habits will make people duller and rust the souls that are prepared for danger in times of peace. This time, the reason why the doctor and I are traveling together is to keep you nervous.
Feeling, just think of it as parents caring for their children."
——Which parent cares about their children like this? Why do you bring a special machine if you just care? It must be to torture us, it must be.
"If you think about it carefully, there was a terrorist incident in the imperial capital on the Midsummer Festival two years ago. Although it is true that there was support from the great nobles behind the scenes. But now, it seems that there are people who are more troublesome than terrorists infiltrating it. It is not an association, but it is
Not Jaegers——but agents sent by the 'big country' that rivals the empire!"
——These are things that cannot be said. Although the terrorist attack two years ago was the result of Rean's old vii class, it was a family scandal for the empire and the royal family, and a family scandal should not be raised outside. As for the infiltration of Republic agents, it was only
The confidential information only known to the instructor team is not the scope of the students' business at all. Even if it increases the tension, it is too much. Don't you see that Mihai has "abandoned treatment"?
"However, there is no need to be too vigilant. You have solved the crisis in Ordis and Lamar. Even if extraordinary weapons like train guns appeared in front of you, you still did not take a step back and showed courage like a lion.
.”
——Although this is a good morale booster, when you say this, does it mean that the danger this time is comparable to that of a train gun?
"Then, the Imperial Capital exercise has only one purpose, to prove to everyone that your glory is not accidental."
"yes
ma’am”
…
In short, with the teachers and students headed by Michael dumbfounded, the students embarked on their journey to the Derflinger, known as the "Silver Bullet".
Along with the crisp sound of the whistle, the entire Rivers heard the young lion's horn to go to war.
No, it is not only a horn to go to war, but also a signal. The undercurrent surrounding the empire is surging towards the imperial capital, waiting for the moment to surface.
The half-hour drive passed by in a flash, and soon the Derfflinger arrived at the largest station in the empire and even the world - the Imperial Central Railway Station.
Whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, the Derflinger, which was exclusive to the second branch, and the Ark Royal, which was exclusive to the main school, arrived at almost the same time. There was only one platform between the two trains.
The station was empty in the early morning. There was no obstruction between the two sister trains, one red and one silver. You could clearly see the faces on the trains.
The most eye-catching among them is the elite trio of the main school, Crown Prince Cedric and his two followers Ada and Fritz.
Sensing Rean's gaze, Cedric raised the corners of his mouth, then raised his right hand, extending his thumb and index finger respectively, while the other three were drawn inward and raised far away towards the opposite side.
The students in the second branch all changed their faces.
Because what the crown prince was making was the gesture of shooting, this was an undoubted provocation.
Just when the students who were not willing to be outdone were about to do something in return, the whistle sounded again. The Derflinger had completed inspection and supplies, and was about to head to the camp located on the supply line on the outskirts of the city.
Damn it, did you plan this?
In an instant, the crowd was excited.
Rean's expression remained normal, even though he was the center of the "pistol" pointed at him.
Not only did his face remain calm, but he also raised his hand and lowered his hand to signal the students to calm down and not be impatient.
But students are in the most passionate and rebellious age. Wherever they can calm down, the more you suppress them, the more angry they will become.
The leader is none other than Ash, the number one thorn in Rean's class: "Hey, the other side is bullying you, and you just swallow it like this. Where's the glory of the knight? Where's the face of the sword master? You don't want either of them?"
Rean was still not angry, and put down his hand with a smile: "The title of knight was imposed on me by the outside world. It is not what I want. As for the face of 'Sword Master'... you will understand when you have the opportunity to meet other sword masters."
,and--"
"And what?"
"——Even if I really lose face this time, I can only rely on you to help me pick it up. I can't go to His Highness the Prince myself."
"ah--"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Yes, there is an obvious identity asymmetry between the two parties.
Rean is the instructor and Cedric is the student.
Rean was a sword master, and it had only been a year since Cedric started learning the sword seriously.
Rean is an adult and Cedric is a minor.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Rean's trouble with Cedric over such a trivial matter was a sign of bullying.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, everyone knows that the reason why Cedric provoked Rean so much was because he was not convinced. Otherwise, you, who is the top in the main school and the whole school year, would be in trouble with the newly established branch.
Get angry?
You must know that provocation itself means a kind of recognition. Real contempt is never a slap back, but indifference.
For no apparent reason, Rean remembered something Olibat had said to him.
That was several years ago, when the Libel mutation had just ended. After Osborne "broke into the Grancel King's City alone", he returned home on a flying ship.
Coincidentally, Oribat was also about to leave Libel by boat, and the two met in the air on different flying ships.
When they faced each other in the air, Oribat also fired a shot at Osborne.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Of course, there are differences. What Oribat uses is not a gesture or a real gun, but a special prop that can shoot a bouquet of roses.
Olibat was quite proud of this move, but he didn't know what the expression and mood of Osborne opposite him would be.
Will it be the same as myself? With some scrutiny, some relief, some worry, a trace of inexplicable emotions, and more confidence?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are indeed brothers and father and son. Whether they admit it or not, many of the things in their bones are the same.
From then on, Oribat began to formally integrate his forces to confront Osborne, step by step to get to where he is today.
If... I can play a similar role, then will Cedric embark on a different path? At least no longer be a lost dog?
An idea popped up in Li En's mind, like a thread, gradually taking shape under the guidance of "reason".
In this case, the identity of this last servant... can basically be determined.
ps: No matter how you say it, this is Rean, not the time traveler Rean. He has been taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic since he was a child. Shu Huaze and the old emperor have such a relationship. There is no way that Li En will depose the crown prince.
The thought of replacing his sister or Olibat as emperor makes it even more impossible for him to seek the country and ascend the throne by himself.
