Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

He straightened up and turned to walk towards the garden exit.

A guard in light armor stood at the door. When Caesar came out, he immediately straightened his back and bowed.

"Caesar!"

Lin Si nodded to him, and then casually said something.

"Prepare my mount."

He paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"A giant earth beast will do."

The guard was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and responded crisply.

"Yes!"

In her consciousness, Cerudela seemed to quite approve of Lin Sixuan's idea of ​​riding a mount.

“That’s right, it’s not impossible to drive ten thousand horses to hunt ferocious beasts, but riding a steady earth beast and looking out over the surrounding territory from its back is more to my liking.”

She nodded.

"It seems you're just like me."

Lin Si walked inside the Marble Palace. This time, he wasn't afraid of getting lost, since there were people everywhere.

However, the rooftop garden was still a bit far from the public bath, so Lin Si didn't get to see the breathtaking scene of 'thousands of people bathing together'.

But the rooftop garden is very close to the 'Heroes' Baths'.

Lin Si walked down and saw Dong Lin Jue, Duan Feng Jue, and Ye Shi Jue bathing together in the distance.

They were wearing bathrobes, sitting there with wine glasses in their hands, and there was fruit on the table in front of them.

He stopped in his tracks, somewhat stunned.

Lin Si: "......No, this really is a bathhouse?"

His feelings are complicated right now.

The amount of money required to build such a luxurious palace must be enormous.

With so much money, there are so many better things to do than build such a huge bathhouse...

Lin Si didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

When the three saw Caesar approaching, they quickly stood up, causing ripples to spread across the water as they nodded slightly.

"Caesar!"

Chapter 298 Punishing Nine Clans and Exterminating Three Clans

"How well are you getting used to those weapons?"

Lin Sichao and the others nodded and sat down casually on the stone benches at the edge.

He was somewhat surprised.

He was quite impressed with these guys for being able to resist the urge to 'play' with those weapons.

After all, any general would be eager to try such novel and useful things on the battlefield.

He had assumed they would huddle together fiddling with the energy guns or crowd around the tanks studying the track structure.

But these three people were actually wearing bathrobes and sitting in the bathhouse drinking and eating fruit.

They didn't take the weapons with them like children who have just received a new toy; they left them where they were supposed to be.

"Caesar,"

Lord Labinus was the first to speak, his voice brimming with barely concealed excitement.

"Those weapons are just too powerful!"

He put his wine glass on the table, sat up straight, and gestured with his hands.

"After we got to know each other, Apolloni said he wanted to find a way to make an identical weapon."

"Ah."

Donglin Jue Seneca nodded slightly.

“That’s good. We’re discussing finding a group of trustworthy and skilled craftsmen to try and build it.”

After she finished speaking, she paused and glanced at Apollonius.

Apollonius, the Stone-Drawing Lord, seemed rather cautious.

His gaze fell on Lin Si's face, as if he had considered his words for a moment, and then he spoke.

"Caesar, what do you think?"

Since it was Caesar who brought out the weapon, Caesar didn't say much, and they couldn't do much either.

They may be thinking about it now, but when it comes to actually implementing it, they still need to consult Caesar's opinion first.

Lin Si looked at them and smiled slightly.

A phrase from General Jingyuan suddenly flashed into his mind, so he waved his hand.

"Go ahead and do it."

His tone was relaxed.

"If you do this well, I will give you credit."

The three people had different expressions.

Labinus was pure joy, his mouth stretched to his ears, as if he could already see the grand spectacle of mass-produced energy weapons.

Seneca chuckled softly, then quickly straightened her face, resuming her usual composed demeanor, but the slight curve of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

Apollonius seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his shoulders relaxing slightly.

Then the three of them nodded at the same time.

"We will not fail in our mission!"

Lin Si nodded, stood up from the stone bench, and prepared to continue walking out of the palace.

But he had only taken two steps when he heard Apollonius's voice behind him.

"Caesar,"

Lin Si turned around.

Apollonius had stood up from the edge of the bath, but his expression was much more serious than before.

"About that tank, and that...cruise missile..."

He paused for a moment,

"The people in the Senate seem to be very interested."

Lin Si stopped in her tracks.

"senate?"

He repeated the word.

Apollonius nodded.

"That's right. They wanted to borrow it to take a look, but I refused outright."

Lin Si seemed to be deep in thought.

Apollonius was a wise man, and he had realized this long ago.

Tanks and cruise missile mounts are certainly a novelty to everyone in the world, and there's nothing strange about wanting to see them.

After all, the Army Energy Tank is so big that it will definitely attract attention wherever it is placed.

When Apollonius said the word 'reject,' he meant that he didn't even want them to come near.

That makes the Senate quite intriguing.

What made Caesar's direct subordinates, and even intelligent men like Apollonius, harbor such deep hostility towards them?

It seems that the Senate does not have a very good status or reputation in Ohma.

"It's alright."

Lin Si waved her hand.

"If they refuse, they refuse. If the Senate wants to do anything else..."

He added in a flat tone.

"Let them come directly to me."

Apollonius looked at Caesar's face, his expression and tone carrying an unquestionable composure, a certainty that 'I'm in charge of this matter.'

He looked at it for a moment, then slowly nodded.

If he had any doubts about Caesar before, the man's unpredictable temperament, the sudden appearance of unfamiliar weapons, and the way he spoke that was so different from before did indeed make him a little suspicious.

But once those words were spoken, most of the doubts dissipated.

Caesar's majesty has never changed.

Whether it was the dignified and decisive Caesar of the past, or the easygoing and composed Caesar of the present.

That attitude of 'what is the Senate anyway?' is something that no disguise can imitate.

He grinned, as if a weight had been lifted from his heart, and then his gaze became fervent.

"By the way, Caesar, this tank..."

His voice carried an expectation of 'I know this might be a bit much, but I still want to ask.'

"Could we try to build one too?"

Lin Si looked at him, then at Labinus's equally eager gaze and Seneca's seemingly composed yet slightly perked ears, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let's build the energy weapon first."

He turned around and walked toward the exit of the bathhouse, his voice drifting over his shoulder.

"However, you can try it first."

Three responses came from behind, almost simultaneously.

"Yes!"

Lin Si walked out of the bathhouse and walked along the corridor, thinking about the conversation he had just had.

senate......

It seems that Ohma's interior is not entirely impenetrable.

This Senate must belong to that group of 'vicious nobles', otherwise a smart man like Apollonius wouldn't be so hostile towards them.

For a smart person, being adept at navigating the political landscape is the norm.

Caesar had a fairly good reputation among the people of Ohma, as evidenced by the large crowds who came to greet him upon his return from the campaign.

Furthermore, in the transition animation, Caesar genuinely showed concern for the people.

Therefore, as her subordinate, Apollonius, influenced by Caesar, must have also despised that group of 'evil nobles'.

Lin Si didn't really think the Senate was anything special.

This is a medieval Western fantasy kingdom, and he is still the 'king' of this kingdom.

The concept of royal power was something that shouldn't be wasted, and it certainly saved him a lot of trouble.

At worst, we can just delete the Senate with one click.

Even if directly eliminating the Senate might elicit some negative reactions, it's no exaggeration to say that Lin Si has the strength and means to sway those reactions.

For example, 'colluding with foreign enemies,' 'disrupting public morale,' 'tampering with laws and regulations to inscribe achievements'...

It could even be said that 'today they broke the wind direction of Ohma by stepping out the door with their left foot first'.

Yes, that's right, this is royal power, just like that famous saying from a past life...
