Magic Underachiever

Admiral Priestley opened his eyes and looked at a corner of the auditorium, where the officers' seats of the Royal Musketeers were. More than a dozen officers occupied only a very small area in such a large military auditorium. However, unlike the loose discipline shown by the Azure Corps, the officers of the Royal Musketeers Cavalry Regiment all sat upright, motionless, like sculptures carved out of a mold.

Looking at the Azure Corps again, each of them leaned limply on the back of the chair, and some even had their discipline buttons open, ignoring military discipline and talking nonsense.

Alas... The luxurious urban life in the East has corrupted the Azure Corps, which once beat the Eastern countries and fled, into this state.

Comparing the two armies, Admiral Priestley felt infinite emotion in his heart. He shouted angrily: "Silence! Look at you, do you still look like an imperial soldier? Do you still have the honor of the Azure Corps in your heart!"

The admiral was angry, and everyone in the auditorium immediately fell silent. All the officers of the Azure Corps immediately sat up straight, but some people hurriedly tidied their appearance, and it took some time for the officers in the entire auditorium to look like soldiers.

"I'm sorry, Governor!" Admiral Priestley apologized to Marquis Whitehead: "The Royal Musketeer Cavalry Regiment is the most elite corps in the empire, there is no doubt about that, and the Azure Corps has absolutely no intention of challenging His Majesty's personal army.

The Governor can now give a speech. All officers and soldiers of the Azure Corps are willing to cooperate with the Governor's orders."

Admiral Priestley only said "cooperation" instead of "obeying orders", obviously not wanting to hand over the military power.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Azure Corps is far less than that of the Hundred Years' War, it has 100,000 soldiers after all, and is the only corps in the Empire with three arms: navy, army, and air force.

Its overall strength cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, the Azure Corps is the leader of the Empire's armies stationed in Marseilles. If Marquis Whitehead cannot control the Azure Corps, he will not be able to concentrate the entire Marseilles army in his hands.

The Marquis nodded to the admiral in respect, and then said to the loudspeaker in front of him: "The Azure Corps is an honorable corps. When I was young, I heard a lot of stories about the Azure Corps. Its contributions to the Empire are far greater than those of the Royal Musketeers.

Now, in the Empire itself. The glorious deeds of the Azure Corps are still being sung, and graduates of the Imperial Military Academy cheer for being assigned to the Azure Corps.

This time, on the train to Saroyang, I was full of excitement to see this honorable corps.

I imagined a lot of what you look like.

But there is only one thing I didn't It's like this now...Since I sat here, I have been watching you and thinking about you. You were once the best teenagers in the empire, studying in the best royal military academy in the empire, and graduated with excellent grades to qualify to join the Azure Corps.

What is the reason that made you become like this?

Can the Azure Corps still defend the land it swore to defend and continue the honor and respect it won in the Hundred Years War? "

Marquis Whitehead's words reminded most of the officers of the Azure Corps of their lives in the Royal Military Academy.

At that time, they were all passionate young people, and they really only had the passion to devote themselves to the empire. Even when they were sitting on the train to Saroyang, they looked at the Death Desert and thought about how their ancestors would walk across this desert full of undead souls to fight in Marsellus.

Even in the early days of joining the Azure Corps, they were thinking about the honor they were responsible for and how to defend the easternmost land of the empire.

But at some point, that sense of mission slowly faded away. They saw a city that was more prosperous than the imperial capital. The life here overturned their definition of the word "life". They began to try to learn from their superiors and colleagues who had served for many years, and accepted the gold pounds stuffed by various people.

After listening to the Marquis' words, many officers felt guilty.

Marquis Whitehead asked Major Reed to move a large cardboard box in front of him and continued, "I believe many of you know what happened in the Azure City of Saroyang last night. Some soldiers of the Azure Corps left the designated retreat route to help the enemies of the empire transfer weapons that endanger the empire.

I am very curious about what these people think.

You know who these weapons belong to, and you must know what these weapons will be used for. Haven't you ever considered... this batch of weapons will definitely be in the hands of your enemies and aimed at you. At that time, can you still tell your comrades around you that the bullet that was fired was carried by you yourself!

That is enough munitions to arm two elite divisions and two infantry divisions, including battle fortresses, silver wings, and heavy artillery.

Once a war for Saroyang breaks out, you are the army closest to Saroyang and the first army to be involved in the battle. It can be said that most of you will die in this batch of munitions.

And this batch of munitions is exactly what you or your comrades around you transported to the enemy."

The amount of this batch of munitions is beyond everyone's imagination. After all, only a small number of troops were involved in the transportation of this batch of weapons, and most officers and soldiers only knew that there was a batch of arms. Many officers and soldiers had participated in the smuggling of arms, and in front of the gold pound, no one would consider that a small amount of arms would hit their heads one day.

But the weapons of the two elite divisions and the two infantry divisions are really too scary. The army armed with this batch of weapons is enough to fight an evenly matched encounter with the Azure Corps camp.

The governor is right, most of the people here will die under the attack of this batch of weapons.

In an instant, all those who participated in the transportation of weapons last night became the target of public criticism. Taking black money, everyone is not laughing at fifty steps, and those who can help cover it up will help cover it up, after all, who knows who will use it in the future.

But sending so many weapons to the enemy to attack me, the nature is different.

The whole auditorium immediately became a mess again, and some people were obviously isolated. They just needed an order to arrest these traitors who betrayed their comrades.

Admiral Priestley's face was also very bad. He looked at the cardboard box next to the Marquis and knew that it must contain the list and evidence of the Azure Corps traitors colluding with the parliament. This kind of scandal appeared in the Azure Corps, which was definitely a serious dereliction of duty by the commander of the Corps.

I guess in the eyes of this governor, I am also a traitor to the empire.

The admiral whispered to Marquis Whitehead: "I really don't know about this matter. Please let me handle this matter, and I will shoot all the traitors."

"Shoot?" Marquis Whitehead's voice came from the loudspeaker: "After shooting these, there must be another batch of traitors who will be bribed. The problem of the Azure Corps is definitely not these traitors...

In this box of mine, there is not only a list of people who helped the enemy transport weapons last night, but also evidence of violations of discipline within the Azure Corps found by the Imperial Garrison General Administration and the Marcellus Special Security Bureau.

It's a whole box, full of it.

I came here today not to judge anyone...because that huge batch of arms has been destroyed by my people, and you don't have to worry about shells falling on your heads.

Then, whoever has done what, knows it best.

From now on, I will approve all retirement applications from the Azure Corps. Regardless of whether the conditions for retirement are met, you can leave the army with your personal belongings and property.

I swear on the honor of the Whitehead family that I will never pursue anything you have done during your service."
