Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 659: Beg For Talent
The door of the meeting room did not open again until more than an hour later, and one general after another flew out of the room. In the corridor, their respective staff officers and subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to form small groups. The generals simply communicated their respective tasks to the people below. Naturally, there were tactical staff officers who quickly used their brains to record and sort out groups of brief data. For a moment, the voices in the corridor were endlessly clamorous.
Catherine walked quietly at the end. She was not assigned a mission at the same time. There was no hurry to attack. Even her pace was three minutes slower than usual.
When she was about to reach the door, she heard Capulet shouting her name. Turning around, Capullo removed the marshal's majestic mask, put on an old man's kind face, and waved at her. Catherine frowned slightly and walked back.
"What orders do you have, Marshal Capulo?" Catherine stood upright and saluted.
"There's no need to be restrained. I'm just an old man named Capulo now, not a Marshal of the Federation." Capullo found a chair next to the table and signaled for Catherine to sit opposite him.
Catherine maintained a respectful posture so that no one could find a single spot to be picky about.
Capulo looked at Russen behind him helplessly and smiled, "I heard a lot about you back in Russen."
"Oh, then I'm flattered. I think Russen should be referring to my disobedience and ignorance. After all, I'm pretty good at this." Catherine looked at her boss seriously.
Russen squeezed a muffled snort out of his nose in response.
'"You're an interesting girl and smart," laughed Capullo. "But I guess you're wrong. Russen has high hopes for you. It's often said that you're the only one in the army qualified to succeed him in the future."
"Your Excellency, there's no need to say these words to her." Russen said with a dry cough.
"I told you long ago that it's good to be strict with your subordinates. But occasionally, you have to be motivated. I'm afraid your poker face won't change even in the coffin." Capulo shook his head.
Catherine had no expression on her face and raised her eyebrows. "I will not inherit the spread of death," she said.
"Oh?" Capulo's face was filled with surprise.
"Because my target is far above General Russen's position."
"That's why." Capulo patted his legs and smiled, "Russen, it looks like you're disgusted."
The old marshal gasped for breath with laughter, and only after a moment did he continue, "Then, Major General Catherine, let's get down to business. I heard that you know the student at Windsor Bellow, the Beth Cord kid named Allen?"
"Alan?" This time, Katherine's eyes flashed with astonishment, "He's just a nobody. What's there to pay attention to, Marshal?"
"Nobody?" Capullo retracted his smile and looked straight into Catherine's eyes. "Windsor Belo's student, Horn's grandson, was the sequencer who compared Lawrence to the old man at the new product launch. I'm afraid that none of these identities are trivial, right? Besides, if he's a nobody, why would General Catherine personally come to Coldfrost to hunt him down? "
Hearing Capulet's words, Catherine's expression changed slightly. She looked at Russen, who seemed to have just found out and looked over in surprise. Capullo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to spy on you. It's just that every Federation general is an important force. I have to know everything about you in this interstellar war. So, knowing that Major General Catherine left for no reason, I have to keep an extra close eye on her. You don't mind, do you?"
Catherine didn't say anything.
'"I'm not interested in knowing the story between you and him, and I don't need to report it to me. I just want to know if this Allen can win over our camp."
"Marshal wants to fight for him?"
"Yes, why not. His potential is enormous. Putting aside his combat strength, the design ability of the Magic Cube sequence alone is worth fighting for. With this student, Windsor Belo managed to win over Bescord as an ally, and the Mana Armament was steadily leading the Federation's entire military system. "Just ten days ago, the first batch of Wind God Knights had already been sent to the Sirius Army Treasury. Soon, their overall combat strength will rise by another level."
"And I heard that at the same time that I came here, a small new product launch had just taken place at Bethcod's Magic Martial Factory. There was only one magic energy rifle on display, but it was accompanied by a total of five separate plug-ins. Each plug-in can provide new capabilities to the magic energy rifle, and two or three plug-ins can be combined freely, thus extending a stronger and more powerful ability. "Capullo said in a low voice," This magic energy rifle is only the debut of the new Warfire Series. Horn personally responds, and the Warfire Series will continue to develop other weapons. Most importantly, this series was also written by that kid. General Catherine, do you know how much profit this series of equipment can bring to Beth Cod? I can tell you, that number is absolutely fascinating. "
"So you see, I'm thirsty for talent for such an outstanding young man." Capulo leaned forward slightly and said, "If you have a way to win him over, then I guarantee that your path to the higher seats will be unobstructed, and I will clear any obstacles on this path for you!"
To be honest, this was a condition that made one's heart thump. Since Capullo could say this, it meant that he would carry Catherine up regardless of whether she had the corresponding talent or not. Russen had a thoughtful expression on her face. Catherine glanced at him and said, "It's my honor to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the marshal. But you know, I wanted to harm him before. So I'm not a suitable lobbyist if I want to fight for Alan."
"No, I don't think so." Capullo leaned back in his chair and changed into a comfortable position. "I'm a man myself," he said. "I know what men think. A woman as outstanding as General Catherine was almost every man's dream partner. Nothing gives a man a greater sense of accomplishment than conquering a woman like General Catherine. "So, if Major General can make Alan like you, it's the same as dragging him to our side. What do you think of my suggestion?"
"Marshal, are you asking me to seduce men?"
Capullo laughed and shook his head. "No, my dear general. I just want you to create some opportunities, some opportunities that Alan thinks you have a chance to conquer. It's still a bit different from seduction, don't you think?"
"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success. After all, I'm not very good at it."
"No problem, I will wait for your good news. I will be the future Catherine. Believe me, I have always been patient." Capulo narrowed his eyes.
