stunner

Michael, the capital star of the Aslante Empire, is 500 light-years away from the main star of Cepheus.

It takes about four days to travel from Immortal King 47 to Michael by shuttle ship or spaceship, but it only takes half an hour by military warship. This is why the Senate insists on sending letters.

Essentially, the Senate is not a legislative body, and the legislative power of the Aslante Empire has been delegated to the Citizens Assembly, but the voting results of the Citizens Assembly need to follow the recommendations of the Senate.

From this point alone, it can be seen that the Senate still holds considerable power in the imperial regime.

Therefore, after the arrogant Senate did not receive a reply from the Immortal King Legion, they were outraged.

This is not the first time that the Immortal King Legion has led troops to fight without authorization. Ludwig never handed in an action report every time he acted without authorization.

Emperor Louis XVIII Bonaparte, who was only 16 years old, didn't want to care about it at all. As long as Ludwig didn't rebel, Louis XVIII would turn a blind eye.Anyway, Ludwig has never done anything heinous. Compared with other warlords, Ludwig is the most reliable.

But the Senate didn't think so. They thought that Ludwig's repeated defiance of the imperial power was going to heaven!

So early in the morning, Louis XVIII was pulled from the bed by the cabinet minister Simo and went to the Senate, yawning and listening to a group of seniors headed by Thomas Schattach all morning.

It's a pity that these veterans don't become negotiators. Such a good eloquence, Louis XVIII complained sleepily.

"...Your Majesty, Ludwig has ignored the law for the third time. According to the law, you can organize a citizens' meeting to re-vote for an overseer..." Thomas was eloquent, his voice was so loud that even the guards outside could hear him Clearly.He deliberately wanted to be heard by people outside, so that everyone would know what kind of son Jacan Robert had raised.

"Who to choose? Who wants to go to Cepheus to be the Overseer, Speaker Thomas?" Louis XVIII interrupted Thomas who was talking endlessly. He didn't understand why the old foxes in the Senate insisted on arresting Ludwig. In the barracks, Ludwig was not only strict with himself, but also had a good reputation. Even the military commander was full of praise for Ludwig.

"No no, Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. The empire is full of talents, so why worry about not being able to choose a suitable candidate? Taking a step back, Vice Governor Lu Qi is also a very suitable candidate," said the man in a white robe trimmed with purple red Thomas stood up from the seat, put his right hand on the half-moon-shaped buckle, and was about to explain the reason, "Your Majesty must have heard of it, Lu Qi..."

"Oh, what Chairman Thomas means is that besides Ludwig, anyone who can be dragged on the street can be qualified for the position of Overseer of the Immortal King's Legion, right?" The young emperor held the baby's fat face in his hands and smiled empathetically. Renyi, "President, don't forget that Vichy is a dark sentinel. Don't you all forget that Marshal William Stewart of the military department voluntarily abdicated in favor of the virtuous? If Vichy hadn't been modest, what you are discussing here is Marshal of the Army."

The elders of the Senate fell silent collectively, their aura was wiped out, and each of them had a sad face, like eggplants beaten by frost.

After the Battle of Mara, in order to strengthen the military power, Louis XVII finally established the military as a political force to carry out activities, that is, the General Staff Command.

The Staff Command is in charge of the Imperial Royal Guard and the Four Legions, so the Staff Command is also referred to as the "Military Department" for short.

The military department does not need to consult with the Senate and the various organs of the empire. It only needs to obtain the consent of the emperor to determine the strength and method of military use.

Since the active-duty officer system of the army, navy and air force is clearly stipulated, the upper-level officers can influence the military and foreign policy of the empire.Moreover, it is stipulated that the military order is a matter of amnesty and is not subject to interference by the cabinet and the Senate.

The senate and the military have not seen each other for a long time. In the final analysis, it is the fuse of the guide.

Louis XVIII was more inclined to the military, so he defended Ludwig everywhere.To Louis XVIII, these elders were just a group of vases who could not write or use martial arts. Apart from shouting about the supremacy of imperial power and the legacy of the nobility all day long, they would only eat, drink and sleep.Obviously they can use video conferencing, but they insist on communicating face-to-face, which is really terribly stubborn.

"Speaking of which, where is the progress of the project at the research institute?" Louis XVIII cheered up when he saw the dejected looks of these veterans.

"The reason has not yet been found out. The improved version of the guideline pills has been mass-produced and will be distributed to the army soon." Thomas answered vigorously.

"I heard that a new batch of registered guides has arrived. I think the Aslow guide base can't accommodate these guides. Why don't we build a new guide base and let Vichyduo worry about it? Maybe he doesn't have so much energy. I acted on my own. What do you elders think of this arrangement?" Louis XVIII pretended to throw out these two sentences inadvertently.

The eight elders sitting in the front row all stood up excitedly. Thomas took two steps forward and said with a straight neck: "Your Majesty, the code clearly stipulates that guides and military departments should be managed separately. You..."

"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, I think you are in a hurry. I think this year's guide matching day should be brought forward, Seamo, please help me convey it." Louis XVIII revealed Tiger teeth on both sides.

Seamus, the cabinet minister, responded respectfully.

Having said all that needed to be said, Louis XVIII returned to the palace under the watchful eyes of a group of elders.

The efficiency of the cabinet minister, Seamo, is so high that it can be regarded as a model for all agencies and units of the empire.

Soon, the four major armies received the latest decree from Emperor Louis XVIII: this year's guide matching day will be advanced, and all soldiers will be arranged to meet the guides at the Aslow guide base in turn. The specific list will be drawn up by the military department first. Then it will be handed over to the cabinet for arrangement.

Immortal King 47's seaside villa.

After soldier Pete saw the news, his drowsiness disappeared. He felt that every cell in his body was screaming excitedly. This kind of excitement made him feel short of breath for no reason, and his heartbeat was so fast that it was about to pop out of his throat. up.

"This is really great. Maybe we can meet a compatible guide this time. No matter how much compatibility there is, I plan to try with each other." Pete's volume involuntarily increased a few decibels.

"Yes, this is indeed a very good opportunity." Soldier A and Soldier B can understand Pete's mood very well.

"I didn't expect His Majesty to be so considerate. Fortunately, he is a sub-human, so he doesn't have to worry like us, but I am grateful to him from the bottom of my heart. If I find my own guide, I will definitely write him a thank you letter." Pete The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he changed the topic to Louis XVIII.

"Peter, why are you blushing?" Soldier A immediately changed the subject. The army stipulates that soldiers are not allowed to discuss the emperor in private. Peter suddenly mentioned Louis XVIII, which is a bit abnormal. He must be overjoyed.

Pete touched his face: "Ah, maybe I'm too excited. You don't know that on the matching day last year, I met a compatible guide, but because the compatibility was too low, I gave up on my own initiative. Thinking about it now is really stupid. So I must seize the opportunity this time, I heard that 500 new guides have been added this time, a third more than last year, our chances are still great..." Pete said It's hard to hold once you open it.

"Yes, if you have an opportunity this time, you should seize it and don't give up easily." Soldier B could only nod in agreement.

"I really hope that it will come soon. According to the usual practice, it's our legion's turn to go to the guide base first. Aren't you excited? When I think of 500 new guides waiting for me, I'm so excited..."

Pete had already fallen into boundless fantasies, and soldiers A and B couldn't talk at all.

"Peter, it's duty time now, let's discuss it when you are resting." Seeing that Pete had been talking to himself for several minutes without stopping, soldier A couldn't help reminding him.

Unexpectedly, Pete didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he said to Soldier A in a rough voice: "What's wrong, I just said a few more words if I was happy, so don't listen if you are not happy. Be jealous that I'm about to find a compatible guide, and even then I won't pity you."

"Peter, what are you talking about?" Soldier B was very surprised. Is this still the quiet and introverted Pete?Why does he look so weird today?

"I know what I'm talking about, but I don't know that your hearts are so dark. You just hope that I will never find a compatible guide, but you will definitely be disappointed."

"Peter, we all hope that you can meet your guide soon, your mind is a bit confused now..."

"You're the one with a fucking mind. I'm really fed up with your hypocritical face." Pete roughly interrupted Soldier A's words, and not only that, he also punched Soldier A hard.

"Your uncle, Mr. Pete, provoked you..." Soldier A was completely enraged. He ignored Soldier B's dissuasion, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards Pete. The two rolled to the ground and wrestled together.

Soldier B wanted to pull Soldier A, but Pete accidentally kicked a certain important part. Pete used all his strength in that kick. Soldier B felt that his balls were about to burst in pain, and he rolled down. Howling on the side.

"Peter, I [beep——] your uncle!" Soldier B wailed and crawled into the villa.

Pete's strength was astonishing. Soldier A gradually couldn't resist Pete. Every time he fought back, he was beaten harder by Pete. Every punch and kick of Pete seemed to be desperate. Soldier A finally noticed that something was wrong with Pete.

"Peter, Pete, stop, stop! I apologize to you, stop!" Soldier A pushed Pete away with all his strength, and took two steps back.

Pete's eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and the surrounding scenery seemed bright red to him.He couldn't hear what Soldier A was saying to him, he just knew he was agitated, he needed to vent, he needed...

Pete's eyes stayed on Soldier A. He needed to tear up this chattering guy in front of him. It was so noisy!

"Ah—" Soldier A had no time to dodge, Peter grabbed him like an agile cheetah, and bit him on the shoulder.

"Peter, you are crazy, you are crazy, let me go, or I will shoot." Soldier A was firmly held by Pete, and he beat and scolded and even bit Pete's hand. Indifferent, like those sentinels in a manic episode...

Pete couldn't feel the pain, and couldn't understand what Soldier A was saying. Soldier A kicked and scratched him, which aroused Pete. He raised Soldier A angrily and fell to the ground!

Soldier A was stunned by this sudden action. He was thrown to the point where he vomited blood and stared at his eyes. Pete stepped on his stomach again, with a force that was far beyond the range of a normal sentinel.

It wasn't until this time that Soldier A was terrified that Pete was definitely having a mania attack... He backed up with hands and feet, Pete was like a beast, making a strange and unpleasant sound from his throat, and his eyes were fixed on Soldier A's body .

Soldier A's legs were weak, and his hands couldn't exert any strength. With difficulty, he took out the miniature laser gun and shot a shot at Pete's left leg.

Pete had a blood hole in his left leg, which completely angered Pete.In the next second, the laser gun in Soldier A's hand was snatched by Pete and snapped into two.

"Help, Overseer!!!" This was the last cry of Soldier A before Pete rushed over again.

When soldier B clutched his painful testicles and went to Ludwig for help, Ludwig was arranging the list of soldiers for the guide matching day.

Noise shielding equipment is installed inside the villa, so ordinary voices cannot come in.

"Overseer, the overseer is not good! Pete's mania is attacking, and we can't stop him!" Just as Soldier B finished speaking, Soldier A's terrific scream came from outside.

Ludwig's eyes sharpened in an instant: "Get the tranquilizer gun right away."

Soldier B stumbled and ran to the small single-family warehouse.

Ludwig jumped directly from the window on the second floor.

Soldier [-] was lying on the ground like a dilapidated puppet, Pete smelled Ludwig and slowly turned around.

Pete can no longer be described as a human being, he is now like a beast that has lost its reason.

Ludwig opened his mental barrier, like a lion transformed into an entity under the command of his master.

"Roar!!" The lion saw Pete's Quantum Beast, which was a black wild wolf, and it was dissatisfied with the aggressive aura emanating from the other party.

After isolating the possible disturbance from Pete, Ludwig ordered the lion to drag Soldier A into the villa while attracting Pete's attention.

Ludwig rushed towards Pete with lightning speed, and hit his abdomen hard before Pete could react at all!Then gave Pete a fatal blow to the neck!

Originally thought that this blow could at least stun Pete, who was in a manic state, but he didn't expect Pete to be too resistant. His movements just stopped for a while, and he quickly hugged Ludwig's waist, resisting Ludwig in one breath. Xi ran towards the wall of the villa.

Ludwig's back hit the wall hard, and there was a crack in the hard wall.

Pete roared excitedly. He wanted to throw Ludwig out, but Ludwig turned over and hugged him instead.

"Overseer, here comes the tranquilizing gun!" Soldier B watched in horror as Ludwig and Pete wrestled together. It was said that Ludwig could fight ten against one, and it was really too embarrassing for Pete to make Ludwig so embarrassed. Terrible!

"Leave me alone, shoot Pete! Immediately!" Ludwig restrained Pete tightly, and gave an order calmly.

Without any hesitation, soldier B immediately put the tranquilizer gun on his shoulder, aimed at the manic Pete and fired a burst!The densely packed tiny silver needles pierced Pete into a sieve, and even Ludwig had several needles on his body.

Normally speaking, with so many powerful sedative injections on Pete's body, he should have fallen to the ground and unconscious.

"Overseer, the tranquilizer didn't work on Pete!" Soldier B was about to cry.

Pete became even more manic after being stabbed. He shook off Ludwig and turned to look at Soldier B.

Soldier B deeply understood how frightening the frenzied sentinel was. He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he couldn't lift his feet.

"Overseer, save me..."

Soldier B suspected that Pete was not simply manic but suffering from fugue.

Once the sentinels have no guides to sort out their minds for a long time, they will easily fall into perception and lose themselves.The onset time is uncertain, and the sentinel who suffers from fugue and cannot combine with the guide is basically useless.

If Pete was just purely manic, those sedative needles couldn't possibly have no effect on Pete!

Ludwig pulled out his laser gun, his blue eyes were terrifyingly calm.

In the current situation, apart from shooting, even a guide cannot save Pete.

"Overseer, let's lock him up first. David has already contacted the military doctor. Just wait until the military doctor arrives." Seeing Ludwig's movements, Soldier B quickly understood what Ludwig was going to do.Pete is his comrade in arms, and they have stayed here for three years. It is absolutely impossible to say that they have no feelings at all.

Soldier B seemed to see his future self from Pete, and he was unwilling to give up Pete just like this. If Pete was shot, would he have such a day?

Pete walked up to Soldier B and grinned. This smile was so weird that Soldier B was terrified.

"Peter, wake up, it's me!" Soldier B got some strength from somewhere, he rushed forward and hugged Pete's legs, and fell backwards, "Overseer, come and hold Pete down!"

Pete fell forward and pressed Soldier B under him. Ludwig rushed over and handcuffed Pete from behind.

Soldier B looked in shock at Pete who kept struggling and screaming. Fortunately, this kind of handcuffs were specially used to suppress manic soldiers, even if they had infinite strength, they couldn't break free.

"Overseer, the military doctor is here!" David dragged the military doctor and ran over from a distance.

Ludwig wiped the blood from his mouth, patted the dust off his body, and pulled Soldier B up from under Pete.

Pete roared like a beast, struggling on the ground, his expression extremely painful.

"Overseer, I heard that your soldiers have developed mania..." the military doctor was panting.

"Show him." There was no emotion in Ludwig's voice.

The military doctor glanced at Peter, who looked like a hedgehog, and his face changed drastically: "So many sedatives can't make him unconscious, so... I'm afraid he is not only manic, but also suffering from fugue."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

According to military regulations, sentries suffering from fugue are almost sentenced to death. It is better to let them indulge in the mental picture and never come out...

"Shoot." Ludwig said calmly.

Soldier B and David closed their eyes in despair after hearing these words.

This is the worst fate for a sentinel without a guide.

After Ludwig issued the "shoot and kill" order, soldier B aimed at Pete with a laser gun, and the dazzling beam shot at Pete at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, but stopped in the air the moment it was about to penetrate Pete's head .

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost condensed on the ground.
