Military review (part one)
A few rays of warm sunlight shone through the gaps between his fingers onto his face. The warmth made Yago feel a little itchy. He lowered his hands, but the dazzling sunlight forced Yago to squint slightly.
However, a small shadow quickly enveloped Yago. Yago smiled slightly and thanked the young Soldiers behind him who was holding an umbrella, "Thank you, Alex."
Behind Yago, the young Soldiers's face was filled with excitement. Alex was overjoyed to be able to hold an umbrella for the seemingly young but legendary Commander-in-Chief of Paradis Island.
Don't underestimate this mere umbrella-carrying follower. Alex is now considered Yago's personal Guard. When Alex's superior officer announced in the Training Corps that he needed to find a Soldiers to serve as Yago's Commander's Guard, hundreds of excellent Soldiers almost fought tooth and nail for the position, including many of the top soldiers from various regional Training Corps.
In the end, Alex won first place thanks to his outstanding contributions during the coup d'état in the royal capital.
Currently, the New Army of Paradis Island, which has undergone several months of training for the core members of the Eldia Revival Army, is being reviewed by the Commander-in-Chief and the Queen in the Trost District.
The Soldiers of Paradis Island, dressed in brand-new uniforms, stood tall and proud, forming countless neat square formations. They were no longer equipped with Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, but with new Rifle, grenades, bayonets, and tough leather belts tied around their waists, which were buckled with various military items.
The dark green uniform insignia behind the Soldiers were no longer the Wings of Freedom, the Garrison Rose, and the Unicorn Law Enforcement of the Three Military Branches. Instead, they were replaced by the Free-Flying Goose insignia, designed by Queen Historia herself, which was also the insignia of the New Army of Paradis Island.
Green squares dotted the plains outside the Trost District, covering the yellowish-brown earth with a green Ocean.
Of course, the emergence of the New Army did not mean the elimination of the old army groups. Next to the New Army, Soldiers representing the Three Military Branches, wearing brand-new Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, were also being reviewed.
Holding their Thunder Spear, each Soldiers casually drew a Blades from the scabbard on their leg—a razor-sharp blade capable of cutting hair in an instant. The expressions on the faces of every soldier in each regiment were resolute and proud. The Soldiers who remained in the Three Military Branches were all former elite Veteran Soldier. They had used the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear for years or even decades, so naturally they would not easily abandon their familiar and affectionate old comrades.
Paradis Island, unwilling to let the Three Military Branches that had fought for humanity for a century disappear into history, tacitly allowed Three Military Branches to be preserved.
Yago walked ahead of the many Soldiers, with Alex following closely behind. The Soldiers' eyes were all drawn to the young Commander-in-Chief.
Yago now holds multiple identities in the eyes of many Paradis Island residents: the young Commander-in-Chief of Paradis Island, the leader of the Eldia Revivalists, a pioneer who led the revolution of his compatriots outside the island, a hero of friendly exchanges between Paradis Island and countries like Hizuru, and a powerful Titan Warriors...
Any one of these titles would command the respect of Soldiers, let alone when they are all bestowed upon one person, whose prestige would certainly surpass that of the king.
His prestige surpassed that of the king, and this was no exaggeration. At that moment, Queen Historia of Paradis Island was not far behind Yago, so Historia could clearly see that both the Soldiers and the people looked at Yago with far more fervor than at her. This made the young Queen somewhat embarrassed, and she thought that since Yago was so popular, she might as well just pass the Throne to Yago.
However, Historia was only thinking about it, because she wasn't stupid. Even a fool could tell that the Parliament would never agree. Putting aside bloodlines and such, the prestige of Yago and the Eldia Revival Army under his command alone meant that the Parliament, which held power, would not willingly bow down.
Now, many Parliamentarian looked at Yago, who was walking among the many Soldiers, and their eyes revealed a hint of worry and fear.
Yago walked among the Soldiers, smiling as he affirmed and praised each Soldiers, "Gentlemen, the future of Paradis Island rests on your shoulders!"
In front of each formation was a key member of the Eldia Revival Army who helped train the New Army. When they saw Yago, they would instinctively salute Yago, not only out of respect for Yago's status Commander-in-Chief, but also out of respect for Yago himself. Yago was not only the Commander-in-Chief of Paradis Island, but also the leader of the Eldia Revival Army who liberated all Eldia compatriots from thousands of miles away.
There were many formations of the New Army, and it was impossible for Yago to walk through them all. After passing the leading formation, Yago returned to the high platform where Historia others were.
Next, the newly appointed Prime Minister of Pyxis delivered a speech on behalf of Parliament and the government of Paradis Island to the New Army soldiers.
The speech was very inspiring and rousing, making many Soldiers feel excited. After all, Prime Minister Pyxis had always been a bigwig in the military, so he naturally understood the Soldiers' thoughts. The speech ended with a lot of applause. Of course, the applause came from the crowd watching the parade, because the New Army, after receiving training, had very strict discipline and would not make noise without orders.
Then there is Queen Historia. Although Historia herself was not too happy to sit on the Throne, Historia was very clear about her responsibilities as Queen, and she represented the hopes of the people.
The same impassioned speech elicited cheers from the crowd.
As Historia stepped down from the stage, she made a face at Yago, who was about to give his speech. She was in a good mood because both the Parliament and Yago had agreed that Her Majesty the Queen could personally participate in the upcoming war that the New Army would face.
In fact, after Arno Reiss also had Reiss Royal Family blood and launched the Coup, was arrested, the Parliament was less harsh on Historia, because Historia was, after all, the only surviving member of the Reiss Royal Family bloodline, the only one in legend who could wield the Founding Titan Power.
The Parliament imposed various restrictions on Historia because she was the only bloodline capable of wielding the Founding Titan Power. However, Arno's appearance has diverted the Parliament's attention. Compared to the previous quirky Queen who always wanted to escape the Royal Palace and was unwilling to date, this new captive with only bloodline has drawn the Parliament's attention even more.
After all, even if the Queen were willing to produce Royal Family for Paradis Island, how many could she possibly have every year? Arno, on the other hand, is a young and strong man who doesn't have the troubles of pregnancy and childbirth.
What? Arno himself is willing? Don't be ridiculous. Prisoners have no choice. Otherwise, for daring to launch Coup, you wouldn't be too much to be hanged a hundred times over. Now, isn't it better to give you a better chance to atone for your sins?
Historia had no idea what her adoptive Older Brother was going to face; she was secretly pleased that she could sneak out of the Royal Palace at night without anyone looking for her.
