Chapter 824 Before Dawn
There was a thin layer of mist floating in the dark sky, as light as a veil, and tiny stars were looming, faintly twinkling out from behind the mist.
Aizen stood quietly in front of the dressing mirror, his slender figure looking particularly lonely and calm.
He raised his hand and gently fastened the buttons of his collar. His black combat uniform fit tightly to his body, making him look very tall and majestic.
squeak~
The door of the room quietly opened.
Zephyr walked in slowly, his footsteps so light that they were almost unnoticeable. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes fell on Aizen. For a moment, his vision was dazed.
In his eyes,
The tall figure of Aizen vaguely overlapped with the boy in his memory, and the scene of their first meeting in the past also came to mind...
"It's really fast."
Zefa's eyes revealed emotion and relief, the corners of his wrinkled eyes twitched slightly, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
But the next second,
He took another deep breath and forced down the emotions that were welling up in his heart.
then,
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he walked silently behind Aizen, picked up the admiral cloak hanging on the hanger beside him, and draped it over Aizen's broad shoulders.
"Um……"
Aizen suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head slightly and saw Zephyr behind him, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are a general now. You must behave properly. You can't be so willful as when you were a lieutenant general."
Zefa carefully pulled the corner of Aizen's clothes, with the corners of his mouth raised and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
Hearing this,
Aizen wanted to say something but held it back, and finally turned it into a helpless smile.
"This outfit... is too ostentatious."
Zefa pressed Aizen's shoulders, looked him up and down, and said with a chuckle: "How handsome, quite like me back then~"
When Aizen heard this, he was about to say something but was stopped by Zephyr again.
"Stop talking nonsense. I can carry this clothing. Those three brats from Sakaski can carry it too. There's no reason why you can't."
"It's different."
Aizen smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at himself in the mirror wearing the "general" cloak that exuded dignity and nobility, and resisted the urge to take it off.
It is different from the cape he wore when he was a lieutenant general.
This time, the general's cloak is no longer just embroidered with purple edges. The word "justice" written on it is embroidered directly with gold threads, and the vermilion cuffs are also embroidered with gold patterns, which highlights the noble atmosphere as a whole.
Other than that,
The rest of the cloak was also very different from an ordinary general's cloak. The tassels on the shoulders were replaced with gold threads, the cuffs of the collar were replaced with precious purple gold stones, and the inner layer was woven with a layer of knitted mithril that was so valuable that it was difficult to describe in words...
(Knitted Mithril, a precious material mined in an extremely dangerous sea area in the New World, is extremely tough and silvery in appearance. A thin layer of it can block bullets.)
Of course, these are not the main points.
What Aizen found most absurd and difficult to accept was that the shoulder straps on his shoulders were replaced with three gold stars of the marshal level!!!
Noticing Aizen's strange expression, Zephyr followed his gaze and saw the three bright golden stars on his shoulders.
"Cough cough..."
He couldn't help coughing a few times and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Well, this is what we all expect of you."
"And you also know that in the upcoming war, Sengoku will not show up at all in order to prevent the World Government's decapitation operation."
"So in that case, you are the leader and spiritual pillar of the entire coalition army that is resisting the World Government. You must wear this suit."
“Not only should you wear it, you should also stand up to it!”
Saying,
Zephyr patted Aizen's back heavily, forcing him to straighten his back.
Aizen sighed slightly when he heard this. He could understand the explanation given by Zephyr. Thousands of years of life as the "Captain-General" also made him worthy of this outfit.
After all, the enemy is a behemoth with a history of ruling the world for nearly a thousand years. Any normal person will naturally have a sense of fear in his heart.
This fear will not change due to the degree of hatred or the number of troops. The only thing that can truly resist this emotion is absolutely powerful force.
And blue dye,
It is the embodiment of absolute power that gives people the confidence to resist the world government, and it is also the real spiritual pillar.
"Where's the suit I prepared for you? Why aren't you wearing it?"
Zefa frowned, a look of displeasure on his face.
Aizen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Don't bother looking for me, I'm just going to a meeting, not a fashion show, why would I dress so flashy?"
"The new combat uniform suits me very well. It is not only light and comfortable, but also matches this cape very well..."
however,
Before he could finish his words, Zefa pulled off his cloak and handed him a white suit.
"This new combat uniform is very breathable, you can put on another one." Zefa's tone was very firm and full of unquestionableness.
Seeing this, Aizen had no choice but to shut up and take the suit handed to him by Zefa and put it on.
...
...
...
Click... click...
The crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the floor was heard, followed by the melodious sound of door hinges rubbing against each other.
Zefa opened the door first and walked out.
Then there is blue dyeing,
At this moment, he was neatly dressed, exuding a faint majesty and a noble aura from the inside out.
"call……"
Aizen let out a slight breath, looked up at the aqua blue sky and the golden horizon in the distance, then walked towards the central square with a determined look in his eyes.
...
...
...
At this time, the central square was crowded with people. The dense crowd seemed like a sea of people, and there was no end in sight at a glance.
If you look down from a high place,
The white clothes worn by countless navy soldiers almost covered the entire land...
The neatly arranged naval troops boarded the warships in an orderly manner, and then the huge steel monsters slowly sailed into the distance and gradually disappeared from people's sight.
on deck,
All the soldiers had solemn expressions, their eyes were extremely determined, and their murderous aura was rising to the sky.
This time is different from the past.
There was no grand oath-taking ceremony or a grand military mobilization. Everything was so calm and subdued, yet full of tension.
The transportation of the army had already begun half a month ago, and now only the last troops directly under the headquarters and generals at the general level were leaving.
Aizen followed Zephyr's footsteps and came to an A-class warship.
And at this moment,
He suddenly noticed Sakaski, Borsalino, Aokiji and others who were also preparing to board the ship not far away.
When Sakaski saw Aizen, he nodded slightly.
Aizen smiled back, then nodded slightly to Borsalino and Aokiji on the other side, turned around and boarded the warship heading to the Red Earth Continent.
