I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

The content of the letter was very brief. It just said that Las died heroically in an attack on Xidabang, and the Empire posthumously awarded him the rank of major general. At the end, it wrote the time and place of the funeral.

Wilfred threw the letter aside. He didn't know how to face Las' death in battle. Should he be angry that Las died on the battlefield for his military career, or should he feel sad that Las's death was wrapped in his leather coat, which meant he had completed his mission as a soldier?

In the next few days, many letters came, telling him the news of Lars's death in battle and the time and place of his funeral.

"Are you really not going?" Bronco couldn't help but ask as he looked at the bed full of letter papers.

Wilfred did not speak until one early morning, when he left Blanco’s dormitory with his belongings and the collected letters.

Bronco waited until Wilfred had left for a long time before he opened his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the upper bunk in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Las's funeral was held in the capital of the Xia Kingdom. It was very grand. It was said that even the emperor came. Wilfred did not have an invitation, but he was recognized by Mika, who was in charge of welcoming guests, and was brought in.

Reya was dressed in plain clothes, her eyes were red, and when she saw Wilfred, tears welled up again. She did not tell Wilfred about her sadness, but just told him that the child was resting in the side hall.

When Wilfred arrived at the side hall, he saw Reya’s mother taking care of her sleeping child. The two chatted briefly, and then several imperial guards suddenly walked into the side hall. It turned out that the emperor had come, and they were responsible for guarding the side hall leading to the main hall.

It was impossible to enter the main hall at this time. The imperial guards politely but ruthlessly rejected Reya's mother's request to go to the main hall.

The sad melody from the main hall slowly spread into the side hall. The sleeping child twisted his body uneasily. At this moment, a gunshot was heard suddenly, and several imperial guards rushed into the main hall in an instant. Wilfred asked Reya's mother to take the child and hide, then he turned and rushed in. The main hall was in chaos at this time, mixed with women's screams, people running around, and only Wilfred noticed the assassin's fleeing figure.

"There!" Wilfred gave a warning and chased out. He was very angry at this moment. He could guess that the assassin must have come to assassinate the emperor. He didn't care about the emperor's life or death. He was angry because the assassin destroyed Las' funeral, which was the most glorious moment in Las' life and might also be the dream that Las had pursued all his life.

Anger consumed Wilfred, and by the time he reacted, two guards had pulled him off the assassin, one on each side. If he continued to fight, the assassin would have been beaten to death.

Wilfred was brought before the Emperor, still trembling with rage.

At this time, the emperor was using light magic to treat Las' brother, because when the assassin was trying to kill him, the emperor was talking to Las' family. Las' brother blocked a bullet for the emperor and was injured in the shoulder.

Many dignitaries nearby instantly became jealous. Being treated personally by the emperor of the empire, they were afraid that the Gallo family would move to a higher level in the future.

"Your Majesty, he was the one who captured the assassin." A guard reported to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei glanced at Wilfred and said, “I know you. Your name is Wilfred, right?”

Wilfred stopped shaking instantly. He didn’t expect that the emperor of the empire actually knew him. His excitement instantly made his original anger disappear, and his body naturally stopped shaking.

The guard beside him gently touched Wilfred's body with his hand, and he finally reacted and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, I am Wilfred Ryan, a member of the Empire's First Mecha Regiment, and I am currently applying for retirement."

“Well, I know that many people are optimistic about you, so many people feel sorry for you. Originally, I wanted to find time to meet you. You have your own choice and I won’t force you.” Zhang Wei said as he cast light therapy on Wilfred. In an instant, Wilfred felt warm all over and his wounds healed quickly.

Some people began to whisper and inquire about Wilfred’s identity. When they learned that he was a guinea pig with no resources, some people wanted to win him over.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Wilfred didn’t know what to say, especially since he was now applying for retirement. The emperor seemed to want to keep him, but also seemed not to want to keep him. He felt that no matter what he said, it would be wrong, so he could only choose to remain silent.

"Okay, let's continue. Don't let the little thief affect the hero's funeral, right? Wilfred?" The emperor said at the end and turned to look at Wilfred.

“Your Majesty is wise.” After Wilfred finished speaking, he was reminded by the imperial guards beside him that he could stand up and stand aside. He hesitated for a moment, after all, the emperor did not say that he could stand up, but he still obeyed the imperial guards’ reminder.

The emperor didn't care about this matter at all because he forgot to ask Wilfred to stand up.

The funeral ended with Emperor Zhang Wei's eulogy. He once again expressed his cordial condolences to Las' family before leaving.

After the emperor left, a guard returned and asked Wilfred: "Your Majesty asked if you wanted to see him."

"???"

Not only Wilfred, but everyone else around him was also confused.

Seeing this, the imperial guards smiled and explained: "Your Majesty is approachable, so I want to ask if you want to see him. If you don't want to, Your Majesty will not force you, because many people praise you, so Your Majesty wants to talk to you."

Wilfred didn't know what to do, so it was Lars's brother who stepped forward and agreed on Wilfred's behalf.

The guards still looked at Wilfred with a smile. Lars's brother gently touched Wilfred, and Wilfred finally reacted and quickly said that it was his honor.

The imperial guards then smiled and turned away.

"Brother, don't be so slow next time. Do we have the right to say no in front of His Majesty? I'm afraid your action this time will attract a lot of attention. You decide for yourself what to do. Lars said in his heart that you advised him, and this is his own choice. Don't be too sad. If you have any difficulties, come to us."

After Lars's brother finished speaking, he turned and left. He did not take the opportunity to win over Wilfred. In his opinion, sometimes, not winning over is the best way to win over.

In the evening, a team of guards came to invite Wilfred, and he got on the carriage under the surprised gaze of the shop owner.

Sitting in the carriage, he looked at the lights outside the city and the pedestrians on the road. After seeing the imperial guards, they hurriedly stood by the roadside and lowered their heads to show respect. For a moment, Wilfred seemed to understand the taste of power, but he soon became confused again. He didn't understand what the meaning of power was.
