"...Learning is your only way out, and Keos Military Academy provides the common people with the possibility of going up without compensation. You could have crossed the gap of birth, and learned the same knowledge as the noble children here, until you surpass them and defeat them, and then personally correct the injustices one by one.”

A moment later, the black-haired young man sat in a corner of the classroom with coffee in both hands.

Several stone-like boys and girls stood in front of him with different expressions, either with their faces curled, their heads bowed, or their mouths pouting.

"But you have lost the opportunity to fight, crying like children who can't get sugar, asking the military academy to optimize all the rules for you to an ideal state."

Jiang Jianming took a sip of his coffee and said, "This is wrong. Your cries are worthless and no one will hear you."

Kevin turned his face away, staring at the floor unwillingly, his fists clenched tightly.

The top of the boy's head was suddenly patted, it was a pale and slender palm.

Jiang Jianming: "If you want to eat candy, please learn to make money by yourself first."

Kevin raised his head abruptly, glared at him viciously, and cursed, "Money-greedy."

"You kind of guy, even if you have learned knowledge in the military school, so what, the nobleman throws you a few copper coins, and you will go to lick other people's shoes."

Just after the end of the first round, he was in a daze, knowing that the gap between the two was huge, so he shook his head and said no more.

In an instant, the black-haired youth showed undisguised regret on his face.

This made Kevin realize two things with a deadpan:

The guy in front of him really wanted to drink coffee.

But he really didn't want to spend his own money to buy it.

In the end, Luo Hai couldn't stand it anymore, or felt it was too embarrassing——finally bought him coffee.

I also specially ordered a transport drone, which was delivered directly from the coffee shop next to the Aslan library.

Jiang Jianming drank the sweet milk coffee he hadn't seen for a long time, and now he was in a good mood. He didn't care about Kevin's bad words, and waved the children away.

As soon as Kevin and the students left, Jiang Jianming and Luo Hai were left in the huge tactical classroom.

The sky has long since darkened, and the moonlight is extraordinarily bright tonight. The shadows of the leaves are dotted on the metal casing of the simulated fighter plane, like a delicate stick figure.

Luo Hai said hello: "Let's go, the meal time is over. If you go to the cafeteria to eat, dinner will be counted as my treat, but you need to agree in advance that there are only vegetables and porridge."

"Teacher Luo."

Jiang Jianming shook his head.He didn't move, and stood there with his back straight, holding the coffee in both hands: "Now the kid has left, it's time for you to explain what's going on."

The black-haired young man looked serious, "I have been in the Keos Military Academy for five years, and I have never heard of any incidents of noble children oppressing civilians."

"Are you angry? For Kevin?" Teacher Luo Hai's serious and rigid face showed a trace of surprise, which soon turned into a subtle smile, "Isn't it beautiful to scare the students just now?"?”

Jiang Jianming didn't change his face: "It's just paying the accommodation fee."

He can't let these naive boys and girls fight against the noble forces, and he can't watch them threaten the military academy with such a stupid strike.

But after the beating on that end, the problems that should exist on this end still need to be solved.

Keos Military Academy is considered a half-royal force, and it stands to reason that no one dares to make trouble here.The aristocrat's reputation may seem powerful, but in fact he also has a lot of scruples, just like Brandon, who didn't dare to release the crystal bone in the street after being stepped on by him, precisely because he was afraid of being caught.

But now, there is actually bullying among students in the military academy?

Jiang Jianming walked up to Luo Hai and said in a low voice, "Teacher, it's the empire... Will there be any changes? I feel that the atmosphere in Aslan's entire Star City is a little abnormal."

Luo Hai took a deep look at him.

"Go to dinner first, and then go back to the staff dormitory and talk about it in detail."

...

At nine o'clock in the evening, the staff dormitory of the Keos Military Academy.

"Li Chu."

Luo Hai suddenly said this without thinking, and then took a sip of porridge.

"What?" Jiang Jianming was stunned.

They didn't eat in the cafeteria in the end, but bought two meals and went back to the room, closed the doors and windows, and talked while eating dinner.

Luo Hai picked up another chopstick of vegetables, with a serious face: "Half a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor publicly promised that at her birthday ceremony, he would elect the next monarch for our empire."

"Now the nerves of the entire empire are tense because of this matter, especially Aslan, who is the capital of the empire..."

Luo Hai said: "You should have some understanding of the current situation of the nobles and commoners in the empire."

Jiang Jianming came back to his senses after a while, holding his chopsticks: "... yes. I know... some."

He remembered that night in the small starship.

Bedside lamp, quilt, pillow... Garcia lay beside him, staring deeply at his side face, hooking his leg with his feet intentionally or unintentionally.

The prince's curly hair was slightly messed up, like an elegant and lazy big cat.

"The current imperial nobles are roughly divided into three categories."

Jiang Jianming stroked his back with his hands, and said whatever he thought: "One category is the so-called recruiting nobles, also known as the old nobles. When the emperor overthrew the old empire, he promised to reserve a certain status for the nobles who surrendered.This has attracted a large number of forces."

"The second category is meritorious nobles. Those who followed the emperor to build a new empire naturally received the rewards they deserved. Among them, those who made outstanding achievements received additional honorary titles."

"The last category is the honorary nobles that our current majesty began to entrust. The emperor bestowed noble titles on civilians who have made great contributions. These people are also called new nobles."

On this night at his alma mater, Jiang Jianming fell into deep thought in front of his former teachers, and said to himself: "The new aristocrats... and the old aristocrats."

The meritorious nobles have made real achievements and are relatively small in number. They belong to the group that "generally do not cause trouble" and "generally no one dares to provoke".

So for many years, the main contradiction in the empire has been the confrontation between the old nobles and the new nobles. To put it bluntly, it is the confrontation between the nobles and the common people.

And the formation of this confrontation is related to the current emperor.

It was the first year of the New Emperor Calendar. After personally burying the dark and chaotic old empire, Emperor Kaios did something that no one had thought of, nor could he even imagine.

Without any warning, at his coronation ceremony, he adopted a female general under his command as a righteous daughter, and then made him the next crown prince.

What's funny is that the great emperor's young talent was too young when he was crowned, only twenty-five years old.This nominal "righteous daughter" general was actually two years older than the emperor.

The female general's name is Lin Song, the song of the ballad.Born in the abandoned old blue mother planet, I don't know my biological father and mother, and I am still blind in one eye.Even before meeting His Majesty, the teenage girl didn't know a few big characters.

Later, under the command of Commander Aslan, he fought with the Great Emperor. General Lin had a rebellious temper, his words and deeds were vulgar and casual, and he was so informal that he sometimes looked like a rascal.

In truth, they are the untouchables among the untouchables.

The emperor abruptly placed such a pariah in the most honorable position in the empire.

With this move, the old nobles were all dumbfounded.

They are still waiting to rely on the promise of the new emperor and continue to dominate.As a result, the young emperor fulfilled his promise, but at the same time put a woman of humble origin on the throne.

At the coronation ceremony, the female general walked in front of the emperor, her red robe and iron armor were extremely beautiful, like a blood-stained peony.

She smiled at the emperor and said, "It's fine to be His Majesty's adopted daughter, but don't want to change name and surname. Your Majesty forgives me. Your surname is too unlucky."

Keos, meaning chaos.

To say it's unlucky, it does have a bit of an unlucky taste.

The audience was silent, so scared that no one dared to take a breath.

Until the emperor nodded and said with a smile, yes.

With such a crazed prince on his head, the old aristocrats did not dare to act presumptuously, and they had to wait and see for a few years.

Unexpectedly, the great emperor passed away in a young age, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Instead of putting the guillotine on the heads of the old nobles, he changed his strategy and enfeoffed a large number of new nobles who were born as commoners.

The old and new factions of nobles restrained each other, and the emperor exerted pressure from high places. The empire has maintained stability for decades.

Stable until this winter.

Luo Hai: "Although His Majesty the Emperor is ninety years old, he doesn't even have a spouse, not to mention heirs. No one can predict who the next crown prince will be and what his identity will be."

The winter night is bleak, the moon is as bright as jade, and the staff dormitory is so quiet that you can hear the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves outside the window.

Jiang Jianming shook his head to express his disbelief, and he said softly, "If it's completely unpredictable, how could it be the way it is now?"

Luo Hai looked at him: "... so what if you know? This is not a level we can touch."

Jiang Jianming: "Teacher, at least I want to know."

Luo Hai then smiled wryly: "No one dares to speculate on His Majesty's royal intentions, but looking at the situation in many ways, there are indeed two candidates who may become the crown prince."

"Prime Minister, Your Excellency Lauren."

"The young head of the Lance family, Audrey Lance."

"..."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips, thoughtful.

Luo Hai: "Both of them are from the old aristocracy, but the factions they represent are opposite."

"Prime Minister Laurent was the first group of old aristocrats to take refuge in the Great Emperor. He is a populist. He has repeatedly shouted in public that the aristocratic system should be completely abolished and everyone should be truly equal."

"Although Patriarch Lance's character is upright, he attaches great importance to the honor and tradition of the family. He is an out-and-out supporter of the aristocratic faction."

"Now, both the old and the new factions feel that the situation has reached a 'match point'. His majesty's will and the future direction of the empire depend on who the next crown prince will be."

"It's a coincidence that the Wujing Human Race Protection Association is also planning to take advantage of the chaos and raise the rights of Can...cough, Wujing people. The above is probably the reason why you feel that the atmosphere is abnormal."

Luo Hai let out a long sigh.

"Trouble, big trouble. Regardless of whether the next crown prince is His Excellency Lauren or His Excellency Lance, their prestige cannot overwhelm the other faction. Someone must make trouble. According to His Majesty's temper, most of the methods will be adopted, bloodshed cannot be avoidedgone."

"unless……"

Snapped.

Luo Hai's voice paused for a moment, the teacher lowered his head and looked at the chopsticks that fell on the ground in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Jianming bent down to pick it up, black hair covered his face: "Sorry, my hand slipped a bit. Please continue."

"..."

Luo Hai was silent for a second, and continued what he just said:

"——unless our former astonishingly talented crown prince, His Highness Leankeos, can come back from the dead."

Inside the starship of Black Shark Base.

The figure of the leader sank in the darkness, and the silver-haired, blue-eyed elderly man slowly raised his hands in a welcoming gesture.

"Please go to the empire and return to the crown prince in the name of Leankaios."

With her movements, the black long robe made the unique soft sound of cloth rubbing against each other, which was engulfed in dead silence together with the leader's final sound.

Behind her is the bridge, and the black universe flows on the glass porthole, like a huge, huge and desolate vortex.

Prince Garcia stood in front of the leader, with his head held up slightly, the vortex that mixed the starry sky and darkness sank deeper and deeper at the bottom of those emerald pupils.

Boom... Boom, it was so quiet that he vaguely heard the beating of the organs in his chest cavity.

"I'm curious..." Garcia suddenly chuckled.

"Even if I agree here, do you really dare to let me stand in front of the public?"

The prince took two steps forward, he stared at the leader closely, his right hand clenched the clothes around his heart.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'm at the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, at the emperor's birthday banquet, in the hall of the White Emerald Palace or anywhere—"

His gaze was violent and sinister, and he said slowly, almost maliciously: "Tell me what your Black Shark base is, and what is the me that you 'created'?"

"It doesn't matter."

The leader was unmoved, and she repeated: "Please go to the empire and return to the position of prince in the name of Leankais."

"If this is really unacceptable to you, then please take the first step - go to the empire and meet His Majesty."

Garcia: "What if I say no?"

The leader bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture: "Black Shark Base will never, nor have the ability to force you."

"Three years ago, you were able to leave us and go to the first fortress of the Silver Beidou. It is the same now. If you refuse, Mecha Slash Comet is on your body, and you can go anywhere at any time."

Garcia turned his head and walked away, the cloak on his shoulders raised an arc.

He didn't look back, and didn't look at the leader any more.

Boom... Boom, the blood seems to be boiling through the eardrum.

The devil's minions climbed up quietly, making bewitching ravings.

In the name of Lyankeos...

He strode down the bridge and walked through the passage inside the starship. There was no one around, and the sensor lights above his head and under his feet were emitting a soft white light.

Garcia's face remained motionless, but the corners of his lips were tense, as if he was tightly suppressing his emotions.In the depths of his pupils, the flames of rage burned more and more intensely.

In the name of Lyankais...!

He didn't stop walking, he bent his fingers suddenly, and the crystal bones suddenly protruded from his shoulders, sweeping and smashing, crackling and shattering the sensor lights along the way.

Woohoo... The siren buzzed, the aisle flickered, and it was completely dark.

Only the sparks of the flames after the explosion were shining, and the faint black smoke was blowing from the back to the front.

Garcia closed his eyes, he listened to his own footsteps, and stroked the small machine on his wrist in the chaotic darkness.

……No.

The prince opened his eyes, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

He moved his fingers away from the wrist phone.

Why do you think of ginger at this time?

No, it is not allowed to call the communication at this time.

He can urge the other party to reply countless times during the day, he can apologize to coax others, and he can watch the disabled human beings step on the ground with his own eyes in the communication before giving up.

In the final analysis, it was nothing more than his obligation to ensure the safety of his subordinate officials.

But he must not contact Jiang Jianming when he loses control of his emotions.

Because if so, wouldn't it be very similar to——

A subtle look flashed across Garcia's face.

It's like I'm missing him, feeling attached to him.

Even looking to him vulnerablely for solace?
