Yunzhou Empire[ABO]

Hermes regained his solemn face, and His Majesty the Empire couldn't see anything from his face, so the two exchanged greetings with a half-smile, and Marshal Hermes stood up: "Your Majesty The hospitality, the general accepts it, please let the general leave."

His Majesty wanted to keep him enthusiastically, but Marshal Hermes took off his hat to bid him farewell. After the cumbersome and majestic marshal hat was slowly taken off, everyone was surprised, even His Majesty They were all stunned for a moment, the handsome and invincible God of War recorded in the history of the battle command turned out to be bald, His Majesty the Empire thought to himself, now he is really an old bald donkey, could it be that he scolded him for showing sincerity all these years Yes, even God heard it?

Hermes didn't care about other people's eyes. He put on his hat and went down. He walked vigorously, and the ceremony officer who wanted to send him out trotted to catch up with his footsteps. This pace is vigorous, and there is no way to die first. His Majesty the Empire secretly ground his teeth, old bald donkey.

Marshal Hermes walked so fast that no one had time to stand up to see him off. Since they didn't stand up, they simply sat down. His Majesty didn't smile and say to everyone until he saw him walk out of the palace: "Today I am very happy that all the officers and men can come to the banquet, Marshal Hermes is busy with important duties, so the generals don’t have to be restrained, so feel free to use some family banquets.”

His Majesty's family banquet was also very grand, with delicious food, wine, singing and dancing, as if Hermes left the stagnant atmosphere in the palace, and the whole palace immediately restored his resplendent appearance. Zhou Shichao watched This palace, which is said to be built with the gold and amber of the planet Hainar, is indeed well-deserved, and wherever the eyes go, it is golden.

Diamond-studded murals, thick velvet curtains, layers of glazed palace lanterns, and bright red carpets embroidered with golden roses have covered the entire palace. There are dancing beauties floating on the carpets. , the arm is tender enough to pinch water, Zhou Shichao looked at the beauty intently, he didn't even notice when the female officer poured wine into his glass, when he reached out to touch the wine glass, he knocked over the female officer's jug, and the female officer was almost stabbed by his elbow On the ground, without knowing where he got his strength, Zhou Shichao quickly pulled her back: "Girl, this... are you okay?"

There was still a forced smile on the female officer's face, Zhou Shichao quickly let her go, he also knew that he was strong, the female officer stood up straight and bowed to him to apologize: "I'm sorry, Admiral." She has never seen such... A country bumpkin can lose his mind while watching the dance. The female officer wanted to laugh at him, but she felt terrible when she saw the scar on his face. She hurriedly wiped the wine on his body with a silk scarf. It's quite unappetizing to be like this, he waved his hand: "I'm fine, you go down."

The female officer nodded respectfully and stepped back. Zhou Shichao looked at the wine spilled on him and cursed: "Fuck."He took the silk scarf on the table and wiped it scribbled a few times, and saw Admiral George opposite him snorting from his nose, Zhou Shichao glanced at him, the old man George gave him a disapproving look, and his face turned serious I don’t want to go to see him again, probably because he felt ashamed of him, Zhou Shichao smiled, this old man is really interesting, everything is written on his face, Zhou Shichao smiled at him, the old man was angry turned his head away.

The family banquet ended grandly under the warm hospitality of His Majesty the Empire. Hughes, George, Werson and others bowed politely to His Majesty the Empire and then retreated. Zhou Jichao also wanted to go back with them, but His Majesty the Empire did not left him alone.

Zhou Shichao was not surprised by this accident. Ever since he was promoted by His Majesty the Empire at an unbelievable speed, it is not difficult to understand His Majesty's love for him.

Zhou Shichao stood in the middle of the palace very knowledgeable about current affairs. If it weren't for the scar on his face, he would not be worse than Marshal Hermes. He was also tall, with wide hands and feet. His Majesty the Empire felt It's not very comfortable, this lump is too much like Hermes.His Majesty coughed lightly: "General Zhou, how are you doing in the Imperial City these days?"

Zhou Jichao smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have a good life here." Hearing him say "I", His Majesty the Empire was happy instead, Zhou Jichao's smiling appearance at this moment was finally different from Hermes, Zhou Shichao He laughed with a bit of a naughty face, although he tried his best to be serious, but the scar was an eyesore. Fortunately, His Majesty the Empire had changed his temper at the moment, and he even felt that his uneducated words were comfortable to listen to. His Majesty the Empire is very Nodding his head in relief: "That's good, Admiral Zhou is coming to the Imperial City for the first time, you can tell me what you want."

Zhou Jichao smiled naturally: "Then how can I bother you, Your Majesty, you have treated me very well. You have given me a village and a car, which is enough except for a few wives."

His Majesty the Empire laughed haha ​​because of his words: "Admiral Zhou's words are really funny, haha." It can be seen that the reserved and elegant His Majesty the Empire can laugh like this, it can be seen that it is a bit embarrassing. He has an Omega daughter, but this daughter He didn't fall in love with Zhou Shichao, and he was not very willing to marry his own daughter to him. It's not that he didn't despise Zhou Shichao's appearance, although he really didn't look good, and the scar was scary enough.

But he is a rare hero, brave and good at fighting. Just like this battle, the four major families refused to send troops. He was the only major who led a group of mobs to take down Planet Claire and took that area under his command. Regardless of the miracles he created, only his sincerity can be learned from the sun and the moon.

Hey, His Majesty the Empire sighed slightly, and he decided to persuade his daughter again. Although this person is not good-looking, he has a good heart.

His Majesty the Empire smiled at this thought: "Don't worry, although the number of Omega girls in the Empire is very rare, I believe that with Admiral Zhou's charm, he will definitely be able to marry one. You are not married."

Zhou Shichao also knew how to write modestly: "Then thank you for your kind words."

His Majesty the Empire was very satisfied with what he said. Zhou Shichao had a good temper. He had a bad background, was an orphan, and had no family background, so he didn't have the arrogance that is typical of those aristocratic families.His Majesty the Empire looked at him kindly, he is an orphan, well, Zhou Shichao is an orphan, then he can take it for his own use, he is very optimistic about this person.

Even in such harsh conditions in the Northwest, he was able to rise quickly, throwing away some of his bad conduct, but he can match the title of this general, thinking that His Majesty of the Empire personally arranged the general uniform for him here: " Admiral Zhou looks great in this military uniform."

Zhou Shichao smiled and nodded to him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His Majesty the Empire also looked at him with a smile, and he really liked him. He personally promoted the general this week, and he has nothing to do with the four major families. He really belongs to him, His Majesty the Empire. If he wins over well .

Over the years, the royal family and the four major armies have made it clear that the royal family has the supreme royal power, but these aristocratic families have military power. How wonderful it would be to have an army that only belonged to him.

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Empire looked at him earnestly: "Admiral Zhou is young and promising, I am very optimistic about you, I want you to follow Marshal Hermes, I hope you can follow him to practice, and one day you will be able to Be with him."

Hearing this, Zhou Shichao understood the meaning of His Majesty the Empire. The old marshal is a master of meritorious service. This seemingly amiable His Majesty the Empire wants to use him to contain the Marshal. He is the only one of the four major families who does not have a family. The background, that is the only one that is easy to manipulate, it is not difficult to guess, there is no free lunch in this world.

The corner of Zhou Shichao's mouth was half a smile, his face was full of kindness, and he scolded quickly in his heart: Babazi, you want to use him as a spear for giving him such a little favor, you old fox!Fuck, he is not as good as others in any way, he is also an Alpha, a famous general, although no one admits it, but it is true, he has a physiological reaction, he also likes Omega, although he has never met Omega in all these years of life Live an Omega.

Zhou Jichao thought about this even more imbalance. For so many years, he has guarded the northwest where there is not even an Omega. He did not ask for a penny of military pay from this imperial city. It is all because of his self-reliance. Your mother, look at him today. When he is successful, he puts it in his eyes, and he wants to use him as cannon fodder.

Zhou Shichao's anger was clear in his heart, but he didn't say anything. As long as His Majesty the Empire didn't make things clear, he would never meddle in other people's business. He had no grievances with the Marshal.He is an old man, he knows what he should do and what he should not do, and he can hold his breath in his heart, otherwise he would not have mixed up from a commoner to today's position.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Empire did not give him a chance to refuse, and simply said to him: "You have also seen the situation just now, Marshal Hermes has only one son under his knees, and he is still a BETA. Fear, the marshal has devoted himself to our empire for many years, his body is getting old day by day, and his energy is not as good as before. You know that he didn't participate in the previous battle. It was you who fought bloody to protect the planet Claire, so I want to find someone who can share it for him. , the foundation established by the marshal cannot fall into the hands of the three major families."

Zhou Shichao just looked at him without saying a word. Once he stopped smiling, his scarred face became sharp and compelling. This is a soldier who stood up on the battlefield and in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. In the end, he couldn't hide the blood on his body.This kind of blood emanating from the depths of his body changed his whole temperament. Even though he was still standing respectfully, his brows were cold and his eyes were deep.

His Majesty the Empire couldn't help being a bit shorter under his gaze, and his words were finally sincere: "I am not targeting Marshal Hermes, nor am I afraid of his rights, but want to limit his rights. Hermes has been stationed at the Yunhaixing base for these years, and has a close relationship with the country of Sukland on the border. He conducts arms transactions through the normal exchange market. In order to strengthen his military power, he has increased his troops by tens of thousands in the past few years. I have to Be prepared, for the sake of the empire, I have to do this, I think Admiral Zhou should understand my difficulties."

In fact, the Yunhaixing base is already the base camp of Hermes. He does not need arms trading at all, because he has built a weapons factory himself. This is more serious than collaborating with the enemy and treason. His Majesty the Empire gritted his teeth and did not say anything. This is one of the reasons why he couldn't touch Hermes. Not only could he not touch Hermes, but he had to win him over. Fortunately, the heavens have eyes, and the Hermes family is finally coming to an end. 20 years ago , the Hermes family's vitality was severely damaged, and the only bloodline after 20 years was a beta, and as long as they let nature take its course, this lineage would gradually weaken.

His Majesty the Empire had a clear calculation in his mind, and his eyes became more sincere.Faced with the frankness of His Majesty the Empire, Zhou Shichao sighed helplessly. Sometimes it’s not a good thing to confess your heart. He pulls you into an accomplice, and treats you as the bottom when necessary, but he really wants to be loyal to the Casa Empire now. He doesn't have much knowledge, but it is the bounden duty of every soldier to be loyal to his country. No matter how much Marshal Hermes has contributed to the empire, as long as he has the heart of treason, he should stop it. Zhou Shichao nodded : "Your Majesty, I understand."

His Majesty the Empire patted him on the shoulder: "Don't do anything to harm the Marshal's family, just be on guard against him. As long as he doesn't do excessive things, I won't touch him. Countless contributions have been made, and I miss his well-being."

Since His Majesty is so nostalgic, Zhou Shichao also nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be comrades-in-arms with the Marshal to safeguard the Casa Empire together."

His Majesty the Empire also smiled: "Speaking of which, I, the Emperor, am sorry for you. I have not paid too much attention to the fact that you have been stationed on Planet Claire these years. If you hadn't recovered Planet Claire and kept the energy resources of our empire, and Without this important line of defense, I don’t even know about you.”

Zhou Shichao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what the last general should do." Having said that, using you also makes you feel that you have not suffered such a big loss.

His Majesty the Empire wholeheartedly planned for him: "You originally belonged to Admiral George's army, but now that you are at the same level as him, then this army belongs to you. Admiral George has never included your troops into his establishment. , that is to say, if you do not belong to these four major armies, you will inevitably be rejected by them."

Saying that rejection is already a good word under the discretion of His Majesty the Empire, in fact, the members of the four major families ignored him, and did not pay much attention to him when they met, so let alone invite him to be a guest, fortunately He is thick-skinned enough, they ignore him, he can say hello with a shy face, he is really envious of them, envious of their favorable conditions in the Imperial City, and advanced military equipment, if possible, he really wants to Discuss with them.

So Zhou Shichao said frankly: "I am indeed not as good as the four generals, so they should reject me." His Majesty looked at him and shook his head: "No, you are worse than them. In terms of military strength, you are not as good as them, but from In Claire's battle, your military command ability was far stronger than theirs, and it was the best thing to be able to fight a beautiful battle under such limited conditions." Zhou Shichao smiled and said nothing, he should be humble when he should be humble. Quite humble.

His Majesty the Empire liked his modesty very much, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You go to the Marshal's banner, you will be excluded even more under my side, it is better to be under the Marshal's than me, I ah, now I don't have military power , I made you laugh, I can’t protect you, I’m embarrassing you.” He felt a little helpless when he said this, Zhou Shichao looked at him and didn’t know what to say, so he saluted again: “Thank you, Your Majesty For my sake, Zhou Shichao will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

His Majesty the Empire looked at him with satisfaction: "Then, on behalf of the people of the Casa Empire, I would like to thank Admiral Zhou for his protection." Wearing such a high hat, Zhou Shichao felt a little smug when he came out of the palace.
