Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 1071 Strong momentum, new general
The return flight took another four and a half days.

When the warship arrived at the Red Earth Continent, there were only a few days left before the World Conference.

There were no accidents on the road, the pirates in the first half of the great route were too weak, not to mention Ren, Ain could easily sweep a large area, and encountered a few pirate ships along the way, but he didn't make a move, let the girl enjoy it alone gained experience...

It is estimated that after finishing this wave of mobs, she will be able to successfully upgrade from platinum to diamond rank (commodore → major general).

After safely escorting Cobra and Princess Vivi to Marie Gioia, Ren declined all invitations and did not stay in the holy land.

There are a lot of people fawning over him recently, including senior government officials and senior navy generals.

Whether it is the potential of his strength shown in the battle with the Green Bull, or his connection with the Goddess, he can become a hot figure in the navy in just a few weeks, and even the five old stars are quite concerned.

But Ren didn't bother wasting time to intrigue with these people and ignored them all.

This caused many people to privately criticize him for being rebellious, surly, a second-generation ancestor, a playboy, but he never paid attention to it.

As soon as they returned to the headquarters, Ren and Ain learned a big piece of news.

General Election Results!
"The world conscription is over, Huang Mu defeated all competitors and reached the top!"

"Have you heard that in the internal selection, Kate won about three-quarters of the votes, defeating Gion and Jiaji by an overwhelming advantage!"

"No way, the total number of votes of Gion and Jiaji is less than a quarter?"

"Tsk, it's really horrible."

"Indeed, it's too miserable."

From the docklands to the fortress buildings, from offices to public toilets, discussions of the election results abounded.

In the streets and alleys, whether it is the navy soldiers, the families of the soldiers, or the residents who have settled in the small town of the headquarters, they are all gossip about this matter in full swing.

"Great, Kate won!"

When Ai En heard the news that Bailong had won the internal election, as her staunch supporter, he was overjoyed and laughed like a flower.

"Wow, General Bailong." Ren also whistled a few times, smiling.

It may be the butterfly effect. The selection method of generals this time is different from the original one.

Of the two vacant general positions, one is contested externally and the other is selected internally.

External selection is "world conscription", and the strongest among them can get the position of general.

The internal selection is a traditional normal election, and the general candidate with the most support can get the position of general.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, even if Tao Tu and Cha Dolphin are far less powerful than Bai Long, they still have a chance to defeat Bai Long and become the admiral of the navy, as long as they can get enough votes.

Unfortunately, theories are just theories.

Strength, record, meritorious service, popularity... No matter how you look at it, Artoria is better than the two of them.

Even in terms of seniority, Bailong's "resume" is an old navy who has been in the navy for more than ten years, so there is no problem of junior seniority.

So Bailong won, and the number of votes almost crushed Taotu and Chafu.

On the way to the fortress of the headquarters, Ain asked a few of his colleagues and confirmed that the news was true. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"The dust has settled."

Although the possibility of peach rabbit and tea dolphin's upset counterattack is very small, only the results can make people completely relieved.

Ren shrugged: "There is no suspense at all."

The advantages are too great, and the flying dragon riding on the face is not enough to describe.

As long as my sister hasn't lost her mind during this time, it is almost a certainty that she will offend all the senior navy officials by doing something outrageous.

"I'm just worried about accidents."

Ai En deliberately explained something with a sullen face, but soon he couldn't maintain the aloof personality, and smiled happily, saying:

"Arthur, maybe we can have a little celebration tonight and call Zina, Smoker."

"Okay, I'll take this meal."

Ren did not refuse, and even offered a generous treat.

The position of general itself is really nothing, but this is one of the side tasks that Artoria has to complete.

After becoming an admiral, it means that only the last link of her four system missions is left - becoming a "naval hero".

How to complete this link is actually quite simple. It is almost done once at the World Conference.

After leaving the dock area, Ren and Ain first rushed to the headquarters building, went to the marshal's office to report to Mr. Sakaski, confirmed that the escort task had been completed, and then returned to the town.

Back in the assigned room, Ren took a shower, watched "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for a while, and night fell.

The dark velvet curtain covers the sky, the moonlight is seductive, and the stars are inlaid in the night sky like precious diamonds. The refreshing wind blows through the small town that is just lit up, giving people a sense of comfort and warmth.

On the east side of the town, on the lawn of a courtyard, a barbecue party is being held.

There is an iron barbecue grill in the middle of the lawn, the charcoal is glowing red, and the iron grill above it is filled with skewers made of beef, chicken wings, bacon, mushrooms, potato chips and other ingredients.

Grilled skewers are grilled by charcoal fire, with oil juice and hot steam, and the fragrance is overflowing.

On the small table next to it, there are drinks such as ice wine, cola and orange juice.

Ren played with a few mutton skewers, sprinkled chili powder, cumin, and sesame oil smoothly and evenly, then handed them to his sister, saying:

"how is the taste?"

"Okay."

Arturia took a bite of the fragrant mutton skewers, her lips and teeth were fragrant, which made her eyes shine, but she muttered with some dissatisfaction, "But compared to eating barbecue, you should cook a French dinner." Meals are better."

Ren pouted, but said nothing.

She would be very content if she could eat such a full-fired barbecue with all the flavors and aromas.

Just like during the Fourth Holy Grail War, he, Kariya, and Emiya Kiritsugu held a bonfire party at Ryudo Temple, and she was full of food.

But now her appetite seems to have been tamed.

"Arthur, what is French cuisine?"

Ai En picked up a bunch of chicken wings, took a bite happily, and asked casually.

Ren said perfunctorily: "A local snack, not very famous."

The girl rolled her eyes when she heard the words, expressing her disbelief, what else can local snacks be called a big meal?
Fortunately, she didn't ask.

On the other hand, Hina has eliminated several strings of spicy potato chips in a row, and seems to have a soft spot for them.

While eating, she looked at Ren, who was handling all kinds of skewers in a smooth manner while picking up the ingredient jar, with admiration in her tone:

"Arthur, I didn't expect you to have this skill. You are good at grilling."

"Indeed, this is the best BBQ I've ever had."

Smoker put down the eaten beef skewers, picked up a glass of ice wine, moistened his throat, and praised without hesitation.

Ren was not humble at all, and said proudly: "Of course, I am a super chef, and playing with skewers does not reflect my proper level at all."

Hina: "Fart."

Ian: "Narcissism."

Ren: "..."

(one`one)
These two girls really can't talk.

Ai En looked at the somewhat deserted courtyard and said: "You can call some more people, that guy Huang Mu, but he booked a hotel in the commercial street of the town, and held a party to celebrate."

Although she successfully won the election, Artoria didn't mean to show off. This barbecue party was just a small private party, and no extra people were invited, except for herself, Arthur, Ian, Smoker And Hina four people.

Smoker looked calm: "It's good if there are few people, I don't like socializing."

Hina nodded.

Ren curled his lips and said, "Didn't that guy Huang Mu say that he hasn't eaten for several years? He still holds a party, does he know how to eat?"

Hina sneered and said, "He just doesn't need to eat with his mouth, he sucks it with vines."

Ren: "..."

It seems to have that picture.

He immediately thought of some kind of tentacle monster, and then the Sailor Moon in uniform, suffocation x bondage training, white turbid infinite hell の rational collapse...

Cough cough, it's too evil, a tentacle monster like a green bull can also be an admiral representing justice?
Forgive Lei for being dirty, Hina's unintentional words made him think that the green bull might be the real winner in life.

Sensen fruit is definitely the strongest natural type, there are too many usages and tricks, shaking fruit, magma fruit are not suitable for carrying shoes...

"It's not necessary to book a hotel, but to hold a party."

Ai En shook his head and explained: "The award ceremony will be in two days' time. At that time, the headquarters will hold a grand banquet to celebrate the two new generals."

Renn looked surprised: "The efficiency is so high this time? I remember correctly that the World Conference will be in five days."

As soon as the result came out, the honor was officially awarded two days later, which is extremely fast for a large and bloated naval organization.

In the past, when the navy did something, which time was it procrastinating?

Smoker explained: "Because of the United Kingdom, the government has been very embarrassed recently, and its authority and righteousness have been severely damaged. It is more or less powerful to honor the new general on the eve of the World Conference."

Hina shook her head: "It's unimaginable that one day, even the world government will slap their faces swollen to pretend to be fat."

The government needs to strengthen its momentum and cheer itself up, which she never dared to think about before.

Ren complained: "What's the matter, now there are even two navies."

Hina: "..."

Smoker: "..."

Ain: "..."

This kid, which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted.

It's cold.

There was no sound in the courtyard, only the slight crackling of the charcoal fire and the hissing of the barbecue being grilled.

Ren said [the navy has two], and gave Smoker, Hina and Ain tons of critical damage, and they killed the chatter.

The rise of the Kingdom's Navy has really dealt a huge blow to the Navy Headquarters.

Although it is rarely discussed in public, when it comes to this, many admirals feel difficult to understand, and it even impacts the beliefs and three views of many people.

.........

Two days later.

At the dawn of dawn, the sky turned pale, and many admirals got up early.

Today is the day to hold the award ceremony for the two new generals. The large auditorium on the west side of the fortress building has been cleaned and furnished, with lights and festoons inside, and the banquet is also being prepared.

Early in the morning, the dock area of ​​the Navy Headquarters is crowded with cruise ships and passenger ships.

Senior officials from the government, celebrities from all walks of life, members of the royal family and powerful ministers from some franchise countries all flocked here.

There are a lot of visitors, because it coincides with the World Conference. At this time, princes and nobles from various countries and a large number of celebrities from all walks of life have gathered on the Red Earth Continent. They seem to be very interested in such things as the general's award ceremony, and there are many people who come to join in the fun.

In addition to these guests, a group of reporters who looked like sharks smelling blood also flooded into the Navy headquarters happily.

With so many visitors, the headquarters is also a bit of a headache.

These people's identities are not ordinary, so it's not easy to shut them out, so the high-level navy arranged a lot of people to receive them.

Not surprisingly, Hina, Ain, and Ren, the elite generals of the new generation, were arranged to receive these guests again.

In the name of exercising more young people, in fact...

"God's training the ability to deal with people is to squeeze the labor force of young people."

Ren stood at the pier area to greet the guests from all walks of life, smiling all the time, and finally his face froze from the smile, and couldn't help but curse.

This kind of tedious and troublesome drudgery is something that old people don't want to do, and it is naturally left to the young people. Anyway, they have a share of the credit for doing it well, and if something goes wrong, the young people will take the blame.

Because Major General Arthur is handsome and has a good image, he was assigned the task of "receiving guests" by his superiors.

In the same way, there are also two beautiful girls, Hina and Ain, who were forced to wear dresses as welcome ladies today to receive this group of distinguished guests.

Smoker, however, escaped.

He is a well-known assassin, and his superiors were afraid of bad things from him, so they didn't arrange for him to receive guests.

It made Ren a little regretful, why it is not easy to put on Mr. Jin's surly and surly appearance, but chose the face of a warm-hearted gentleman with the old sword.

"Good morning, Arthur."

Another cruise ship came. Princess Weiwei wore a white dress and her blue hair fluttered like a fairy among flowers. After disembarking, she walked towards Ren with graceful steps and greeted him with a sweet smile.

Ren was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"My father and I want to see the beauty of the daughter of God." Princess Weiwei replied.

Ren turned his head and saw Cobra.

Cobra came over and looked Arthur up and down for a while, as if he knew him again, he said meaningfully:
"Unexpectedly, you turned out to be the cousin of that Highness."

He only found out when he was in the Red Earth Continent that this kid not only has a close relationship with the Goddess's Daughter, but also is very strong in his own right, and can fight the new general Lu Niu on a tie.

Ren smiled faintly, exchanged some pleasantries, and arranged for a team of sailors to take the two of them to the town to stay.

This busy, is a day, too many people come.

In the evening, Ren walked towards the auditorium, looked at the bustling guests at the gate, suddenly realized something, and said:

"It turns out that this is indeed a good opportunity to build momentum and give the allies a reassurance."

"Well, most of the people who come to award honors are journalists. If it's not on the eve of the World Conference, how could there be princes and nobles from so many countries to join us?"

Hina, who was wearing a fiery red cheongsam-like evening dress, nodded.

Ai En was wearing a blue dress, and when he heard the discussion between the two, he sighed a little:
"The government has also started to change."

After the absolute world hegemony was shaken, the government began to lower its stance, knowingly win over its allies, and launched some propaganda campaigns to boost the confidence of allies.

This was simply impossible before.

Don't look at the countries called alliances, the world government that claims to be a god has never looked at its allies seriously, but treats them as chickens, ducks, and watchdogs.

Do you care about the feelings of poultry?

Now that the government is willing to lower its stance a little, it can only be said that it is also pushed by the United Kingdom.

It's a pity that as long as those noble Tianlong people are still there, it is impossible for the world government to carry out a top-down reform.

It is like a huge ship that is about to sink after hitting a rock. Someone is holding a basin on it and pouring water out, hoping to save themselves...

After all, it is a bamboo basket to fetch water, all in vain.

The award ceremony has begun.

Singing military songs, raising the military flag, saluting the military flag, announcing the order of conferring...

Accompanied by impassioned music, Marshal Sakalski took sonorous and forceful steps and came to the stage to award honors to a group of promoted officers.

It is not to award honors to the two generals directly, but to deal with the generals who need to be promoted after the top war is over.

Ren was also among them, receiving the certificate, brooch and Major General Medal from Akainu. He had a serious expression, but his eyes were a little weird.

It's the day of the dog, and Mr. Sakalski presented him with a certificate of honor and a medal...

The reporters pressed the shutter, and under the incandescent flashlight, Marshal Sakalski personally ran for the desert, and Kate, the two new generals, put on epaulettes, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

"Crack, clap...!!"

The audience stood up, thunderous applause, accompanied by cheers, like a passionate symphony, almost toppled the roof of the auditorium.

There is no doubt that this is a moment worth remembering.

Ren has already come to the audience, standing in the noisy crowd, he picked up a camera phone bug from nowhere, and pointed the camera at his sister.

She stood in the center of the high platform, with a calm smile, a gentle breath as deep as the sea, one blue and one golden pupils of different colors shone like gems, and shining brooches and medals of honor were dotted on her beautifully patterned silver leather armor.

Her hair is swaying, her delicate face is fair and flawless, beautiful and holy, and her whole body seems to be covered with a layer of dreamy luster like moonlight under the flashing light. The justice cloak behind her is windless and automatic, making her magnificent and majestic like a Valkyrie. Full of strength, yet kind.

Such a peerless magnificence shocked the audience, and the goddess' appearance was deeply imprinted in the hearts of many guests, making the green bull beside her dim.

Even Ren was absent-minded for a moment, with some ups and downs in his heart.

General Bailong officially entered the stage of history.

Perhaps for this world, she is destined to be a fleeting meteor, but she can still bloom with incomparable brilliance.
