Arad's crooked savior

Pedra's heart was filled with raging anger. Although he had just been dealt a blow, the most important thing was that Jackett's attitude was extremely tough.

Today, I'm afraid I can't do anything good.

"General, as Commander Eaton, I know very well that we are confident that we can defend the front line of Siman Base. Just ask the Royal Capital Guards to guard the front line. Your first line of defense is very important."

As long as Anton's siege beast wave is over, the Ghent army, which has been depleted of supplies, will be in great need of supplies from the industrial base, and she remains confident.

"Commander Pedra, what you said makes sense." Jackett actually followed her words and agreed, which immediately made Pedra's hair stand on end and she felt a sense of danger.

"Then please ask the Eton Military Department to guard the industrial base and make sure nothing goes wrong. The people of the imperial capital are still waiting for the results of victory."

His eyelids twitched suddenly, and the usually stiff and cold face now had a slightly undetectable twitch.

Must something go wrong?

That being said, what if something goes wrong?

Most of the reason for fighting on the front line is to protect the safety of the rear base.

If an "accident" that was not an accident suddenly occurred at the rear base, that would be the perfect excuse, and he would definitely die.

Already on the edge of a tiger, dancing on the edge of a knife, Pedra could only nod his head and agreed, and decided to send people to surround the power station later, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

"That's very good, Commander Pedra. Her Majesty Alijie once said that she misses you very much. After the war, I will go back and see you when I have time."

Jacket smiled slightly and said something that shocked the soldiers around him.

The emperor wants the commander of Iton to return to the imperial capital?

Hongmen Banquet, once you go, can you come back again?

The atmosphere that had just calmed down suddenly became tense again, and a smell of gunpowder gradually filled the air. The soldiers loyal to Pedra unconsciously clenched their guns.

Pedra's forehead jumped with anger. This sentence almost made it clear that the imperial capital did not want to let him go.

Miss yourself a lot?

ridiculous!

However, her aristocratic cultivation still forced her to calm down, but her tone was extremely cold, and she said: "The reconstruction of Siman Base needs someone to take charge of the overall situation. I am busy with work, so I will go when I have free time. I heard that His Majesty has been staying in the palace for two months. , I wonder what the situation is?"

She was hinting to the soldiers slowly gathering around her that it had been more than two months and your emperor had not come to comfort the scarred soldiers once. Instead, he was particularly concerned about the lawless zone.

People who come from lawless areas will be looked down upon in other places. Even though Elizee and Beilean have made many policies to make up for it, this kind of discrimination is deeply ingrained and cannot be changed in just a few years.

Sure enough, all the Eton soldiers had complicated expressions in their eyes.

"I'm fine, but I'm a little heavier. Pedra, you've lost a little weight."

The soft and ethereal voice instantly made Pedra, who was full of anger, freeze up. He snorted a few words in his throat, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Standing at the door of the "Glasses" cabin is a girl in black and gold palace clothes. She is also the emperor of heaven, the Dragon Emperor!

She came to Eton herself.

"When I was young, you still held the position of high priest in the imperial capital, and you cared a lot about me. I will always remember it in my heart."

It was only then that Pedra suddenly realized that the little girl who was once wearing ill-fitting palace clothes and studying silently in the room had now grown taller and looked like a grown-up girl.

With eyebrows and eyes as bright as the moon, she looked like a pretty girl.

"I have been busy with matters in Ghent and the Lawless Zone. I am really ashamed that I could not come to Eton to express my condolences."

Pedra's face changed slightly, she was completely confused and did not dare to speak. She did not expect that Alijie would dare to come to the Eaton headquarters with only Jacket and Kelly, not even Princess Marin.

"However, I am very pleased. I sent you to take charge of Eton. You have worked hard."

"I'm not..." She suddenly covered her mouth mid-sentence. Pedra made a gaffe for the first time, causing the surrounding subordinate soldiers to look strangely and whisper.

Commander Pedra was actually sent by Alijie?

Although Pedra didn't know much about military affairs, he worked hard and was respected by the soldiers.

But there are several different versions of her origins and why she came to Eton.

First, Pedra herself said that she was appointed Commander Eaton because of her outstanding abilities.

Secondly, rumors spread that she was actually forced to flee by the great noble Jurgen.

Now something suddenly appeared. It turned out that the commander was personally appointed by Alijie.

Could it be that she is so ambitious that she doesn't want to repay the favor to the princess, but she still wants to bite her back?

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Alijie seemed unaware and asked in a caring tone:

"The heaven was once divided into the highest priest and the high priest. You are the only one among the high priests to serve as commander. My vision is indeed correct. You have done a good job."

quiet……

Suddenly, Pedra's face was full of decay and dullness, and his whole aura fell from the clouds into the pit. He nodded slightly and said hoarsely: "Thanks to His Majesty's love, I am fortunate to live up to my mission."

Alijie is giving her a step down, and it is also the only step she can take to save herself.

It is known that Jurgen wanted to weaken the power of the nobility and create a society where everyone was equal under the emperor.

It seemed that he had struck a knife against the House of Nobles, but in fact, the knife had also cut into the priestly factions invisibly.

The highest priest, Beilean, has high priest members under her, such as Pedra Neumann, Terrassa Shuze and so on.

The "deified" priests were also ruthlessly targeted by Jurgen.

Especially during the period when Beilean died from overwork and Elizee had not yet grown up, the situation of the high priests was extremely miserable.

Some priests with good family backgrounds chose to go back to their families to escape, some simply resigned from their positions, and some, such as Pedra, relied on an aunt who was a general to enter the military headquarters and go to Eton.

Just as Eaton was in chaos due to Anton, she became one of the three commanders by virtue of her strong connections and the remaining power of being a high priest.

Of course, any official position is appointed by a superior, and Commander Eaton's appointment letter was indeed issued by Alijie personally.

Alijie was still just a princess at that time and had not been abducted by Kallet. She just felt that Pedra was a good and capable person, and Eton could not be without a leader for a long time, so she issued the appointment letter.

Jackett was actually unhappy at the time that a man with no military experience was the commander, but the little girl was stubborn, so he didn't persuade her.

Pedra had done a good job as commander in the past, but once the position was secured and he held an important bargaining chip, his thoughts began to be inexplicable.

But now Alicia suddenly appeared in Eaton and pointed her finger at the key point. You, Pedra, used to be a priest who did not interfere in military affairs. What is the reason for your current status?

The emperor appoints me!

If not, then you were forced by Jurgen to flee.

If the latter was the case, Pedra's status in the Eaton Army would plummet in an instant.

A loser, what qualifications do you have to lead Eaton!

Jackett, who can talk nonsense with Jurgen without falling behind, is the best example.

And no matter which way it is said, she, Pedra, has been tied to Alijie's ship and has been used cleverly.

It's not that the emperor didn't take care of Eaton, but he had already foresighted and sent Pedra, a pretty good commander.

Of course, Pedra can now choose to rebel and become the next Kallet, the next Anzu Seifer.

But the consequence may be that she was grenadeed by the Skyhawk organization ten minutes later.

Jackett once said to his subordinate Nibel half-tauntingly, if there is really no other way, why not try pulling a grenade?

If Pedra really wants to die in one way, then give her an energy grenade.

"I will change the situation in the Eaton Industrial Zone, and everyone will get the treatment they deserve."

Alicia nodded slightly to greet the soldiers around her, then turned and walked back to the cabin.

Pedra closed her eyes unconsciously. She knew that with the words of the princess, her plan was completely finished.

It makes no difference whether the commander's military power is taken away or not.

The most well-known thing is that people from different regions will be looked down upon by other regions.

But few people have noticed that people living in Eton have always been dissatisfied with the imperial capital.

Eton and Ghent are both important places in the Seventh Reich. Why is the latter known as the economic, cultural and political center, but Eton is the industrial center?

The different political status of the two places gradually gave rise to a feeling of indignation.

But fortunately, this situation is not too extreme, and there is no Callett organization in Eaton for the time being.

Part of Pedra's previous methods of winning over people's hearts and climbing to the position of commander was because she noticed this hidden contradiction and made good use of it.
