Marvel Book of Magical Events

Adjutant Nickerson took out the last magazine from the magnetic belt, skillfully inserted it into the bolt pistol on the other side of the magnetic belt, and completed the action of changing the magazine with one hand. The next second he raised his gun and fired. The mass blast shattered the head of a wild animal with an obviously corrupted appearance. The rancid blood and skull fragments splashed all the way to the upper of Aparisha's combat boots. When the chapter leader turned around, Adjutant Nickerson used his armor-covered mechanical arm to wave the chapter flag in his hand, suppressing Aparisha's anger.

"Why did I let you serve as adjutant in the first place?" Aparisha, the first chapter leader and first knight consul, couldn't help complaining in the communication. His newly polished armor was shiny, and the emblems of the emperor and knights on his pure white cloak made him look very heroic, but the adjutant's actions broke this impression again. He suspected that the adjutant had deliberately placed this animal in front of him. With the intensity of the war now easing, it would be strange to encounter a corrupted wild animal. "I never thought I would do something so humorous."

"You can't go to the court wearing such beautiful armor, you need to look dirty." Adjutant Nickerson said nonchalantly to excuse his behavior. The muffled gunshots of bolters and the piercing hum of recharging plasma weapon coils rang out all around them. Sounds representing death were common in this area, and bombs fell from the sky every once in a while, destroying rocks and trees. The battle is about to end, and the knights will soon return to Latvinia or Tianjian Space Station to rest. This is why Aparisha suddenly pays attention to appearance. The emperor will personally summon the leader of the first station to listen to the battle report with the War Council. . "The harder you behave in the emperor's court, the more the army commander and the emperor will value you, and the emperor will be able to increase our budget for us in front of the Ministry of Interior."

"When did you learn this bureaucratic skill? Do you think they won't read combat reports themselves?"

"That's another thing, Apalixia, first impression is very important." Adjutant Nickerson shrugged, and the giant layered curved shoulder armor engraved with a golden sky eagle dangled. "Before I became a knight, I He was an officer of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Navy and was also responsible for the on-the-spot command of the Marine Corps. Although I can no longer remember how I was caught by the Emperor or where it happened, He realized my value. You know this, don’t you? Then it’s not surprising that you asked me to serve as your adjutant, after all, we need someone with a brain here!”

All the Chapter Guards heard Adjutant Nickerson's words, and dry laughter echoed in the tactical team LAN communication channel. Although they have been stripped of most of their emotions and cannot feel the fear and other emotions that many humans should have, the knights still have their own unique cold sense of humor and emotional feedback, so the Apalixia Chapter Commander chose to move towards Nickerson The adjutant punched him in the head. Considering the past friendship, this fist is not heavy. The laughter stopped and no one spoke. "Don't speculate on the emperor's thoughts, don't play those little tricks. Those little political tricks between mortals are not applicable in the emperor's court." Aparisha said coldly, "What the emperor needs is the enemy's head, not the tattered ones. Armor.”

"Sooner or later you will suffer a big loss, Apalisia." Adjutant Nixon rubbed his swollen cheek, "I know you are very loyal to the emperor, but the courtiers around the emperor are different. Politics is everywhere, you Can’t escape.”

"I am not loyal to the emperor, I am loyal to the emperor's ideals." Aparisha said with a cold face, "The final battle will be over within two hours. The emperor hopes to see us at that time. Don't do unnecessary things, Nixon, the Emperor values ​​our swords not our mouths.”

Camilla took a deep breath. She and her team members were inspected back and forth by the Praetorian Guard Amon, while waiting for the emperor's summons. Entering the Vladimir Castle in Latvinia requires going through heavy security checks. Even with rich combat experience, Camilla still couldn't suppress her inner panic when facing the Praetorian Guards.

"Anthrax, negative. HIV, negative. Coronavirus, invisible..." Amon took the paper he had just printed and wrote in detail the health status of the guests who were about to meet the emperor. This step was to prevent anyone from carrying the deadly disease through themselves. Biochemical weapons assassinate the emperor. Although there are no biological and chemical weapons in this world that can threaten the emperor and the imperial guards, the courtiers around the emperor need this protection. The next piece of paper Amon looked at was a report from Kamal Taj's interrogation department, "Surface thoughts have no dangerous tendencies, and active nerve signals have no drug response. Pass, pass, pass. The Emperor is ready to see you, Major Camilla. , and by the way, let me tell you, the jungle battle left no health problems."

"Thank you, Amon." As a Guardsman who had met once in Paititi, Peru, Camilla tried every means to get close, "At the same time, thank you for arranging a vacation at the Tianjian Space Station. It's just a Martian technician in our team. Don’t really like it.”

"That must be because he remembered his experience of being forced to work on Mars. I have been there, and the working environment on Mars is terrible. No normal person would like it there." The Guardsman made a small joke, and then Pointing to the alloy blast-proof door disguised as an oak door behind him, "I'll go in with you."

"Where's Supiluliumas? He's also a Praetorian Guard. Shouldn't he be here too?"

"This is not something you should ask, Camilla." Amon nodded, "Don't keep the emperor waiting, he doesn't spend much time in Latovinia."

Camilla's team came this time to receive a medal from the emperor as a reward for the team's difficult adventure in the Peruvian jungle. Logically speaking, Lara Croft should also attend this internal ceremony, but because she is not a Latvian, nor is she a soldier in the special service army, the medal is not available to her. Of course, just conferring honors is not worthy of the emperor meeting Camilla in person. The main reason is that the emperor wanted to talk to Camilla about the problem of the resistance army called the Shining Path in Peru.

After the end of World War II, due to the defeat of the German Third Reich and the United States' Paperclip Project, Nazi-German families and American companies still controlled a large amount of wealth and jobs in South America, and even supported Japanese-Peruvians to become white gloves. The CIA A large number of opium poppies were also grown there or drug chemical plants were built. Adhering to a life-and-death competitive attitude, the emperor hoped to hold the agricultural products and mineral deposits of Peru and even South America in Latovinia's hands.

This required a huge plan and an agent familiar with South America.

There is no more suitable and perfect candidate than the Shining Path rebels who once worked undercover in the Peruvian government army and saw the practical effects of Latovinia's export of ideas and actions. As long as Camilla agrees to lead this project, a sum of arms worth US$500 million will be gradually transported to the team formed by Camilla, including ground attack aircraft, surface-to-air missiles, and anti-radiation cruise missiles. etc. However, they cannot use armaments from Latvinia. They can only use serialized weapons purchased by Latvinia’s agents from arms dealers around the world, or they can imitate them in their own arms factories and sell them to the African market (sold to Wakanda uses weapons and equipment to support the pro-Wakanda armed forces that are gradually attracted by its subordinates. This part is handled by the Queen Mother of Wakanda, Ramonda and the War Dog Organization).

That's right, Queen Mother Ramonda of Wakanda suddenly became closer to La Tovinia. Even Shuri and T'Challa were surprised why their mother had changed so quickly. She looked down on La Tovinia just a second ago. Tovinia, who thought it was a bunch of upstarts, now thinks La Tovinia is a good partner.

"This is politics, my dear." Although his son and daughter have taken on the responsibilities of Wakanda, Ramonda can still sit on the throne. "There are only interests, no favors."

"This is politics." The emperor sat on the baroque high-back chair throne of Grand Duke Vladimir and said to Camilla who was standing on the carpet below. "There are only interests, no favors. You have time to think about whether to accept it or not." , you know the secret line, no matter where you are in the world, as long as the phone has signal, we can receive it. Amon, let Apalisha come in, I don’t want the knights to wait too long."
