Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 563: Fort Briggs

North City,

North City was a city in the northern region of Amestris and served as the state military command center for the area. As the General, Alexander outranked anybody in the Northern Region. So, he had no trouble finding a place to land his Chinook helicopter.

They just found an empty park and landed there. The police were fast to come but the police were also under the Military and hence they were under Alexander too.

After landing he simply took out his jeep from inside the helicopter and left for the Briggs Fortress. It was a cold and snowy terrain but still, the car he had made worked perfectly. It even had a heater that was missing from cars of this era.

"Dobby, who is going to inherit the Armstrong family's inheritance?" Alexander asked.

"It has not been decided yet, boss. From what I know, both Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong and Major Armstrong are contending for it." Dobby replied.

"Hmm, Major Armstrong is too thick skilled to really rule his family effectively. Let's see what this Major General Armstrong is like. I hope she's not the 8-foot tall female version of Major." Alexander said while he, unfortunately, imagined a female version of Major Armstrong.

After an hour of driving, they finally reached Briggs Fort, which was nothing more than a dam that was not situated on a river. Fort Briggs was an Amestrian Military installation that lies on the border between the countries of Amestris and Drachma.

Stretching across a narrow valley between the two countries, the Fort protects Amestris where the mountains cannot. The soldiers of Fort Briggs were known to be the finest soldiers. It shared this reputation with the soldiers of the Eastern region. But, while the Eastern soldiers were known for their attack abilities, the Briggs soldiers were known for their defensive abilities.

Dobby honked at the gates of the Fort Briggs. But, instead of the gate opening, they were greeted by guards appearing from under the snow and aiming guns at them. There were nearly 20 of these soldiers.

Alexander and Dobby rolled down the windows and said hello, "How are you, boys. Here, this is my identification. I am General Alexander Maxim Universe."

All of the soldiers became stiff and saluted him. But then a man with a ponytail came and still checked the ID. Then he saluted him with respect.

"Welcome to Fort Briggs, General. I am Captain Buccaneer." The ponytail man said.

It didn't matter if these soldiers were disdainful towards strangers and those of central command, the soldiers at Briggs Fort respected Alexander because they had heard his stories of conquering Creta and Aurego. They had heard of the tales of his Zero Death record.

"At ease, Captain. I was passing by and thought I might as well ask how you guys are doing. I handle the resource allocation department these days, you know." Alexander replied with a counter salute.

"Yes sir, please take the car in, Major General Armstrong will meet you there." He signaled towards the gates and it opened.

Alexander in the car, looked at Dobby. "It's pretty cold here according to normal human standards. I'm pretty sure this Major General Armstrong will be heavyweight and thick-skinned as that is the only way to save oneself from this cold. Let's see and meet her now."

The car was parked in a workshop, and from there they were taken to a better-looking hall that was on the top floor. It was beside a big glass window from where they could see big mountains around Fort Briggs. It was a very beautiful scene.

The two took seats and ordered some food. "Bring us some roasted meat. Also, today, everyone in the fort will get to eat meat. My men will be coming soon with a big supply of necessities."

Captain Buccaneer saluted and went out to see through his binoculars and signal his men to open gates for Alexander's men.

But what he didn't know was that the supplies wouldn't be coming through trucks.

*Helicopter Sound*

...

*BAM*

Suddenly the door of the hall where Alexander and Dobby sat was opened. It was apparent that someone kicked it open.

Alexander and Dobby chewed their food and looked towards the noise origin. They saw a beautiful woman entering and coming towards them.

Alexander looked at Dobby with surprise, "Is she the?"

Dobby just nodded. Soon the woman stood in front of Alexander and saluted.

"Welcome to the cold north, General."

"At ease, General Armstrong. Please take a seat, no need to be too ceremonial." Alexander waved his hand.

"Okay," she sat down on a chair but she didn't stop. She proceeded to put her feet on the table.

Alexander started laughing at that. "Bwahaha... Olivia would have started doting over you by now. I like your confidence, child."

It irked her to be called a child. But when she saw Alexander's snow-white hair, she just let it be because it was true that she was a child when compared to Alexander.

"Olivia, sir?" She inquired.

"Haha, she's my wife. We have many grandkids. There is also one that has the same personality as you. Ah, I miss Hela. I guess I will visit her soon. Anyway, let's eat." He clapped his hand and a new set of plates appeared for the Major General.

Olivier was intrigued by how Alexander made the plates appear without using a matrix. But she didn't try to ask about that for now. She also put some food on her plate and started eating.

Suddenly Alexander exclaimed, "Ah, how can I forget. We need some fine drinks too. Umm...here it is. This is called firewhiskey. I think everyone here at Fort Briggs would love this drink."

"Hah, my soldiers here don't like things from the south very much. They are too light for them." She argued.

"Then why don't you try, Olivier?" Alexander asked.

She looked down at the glass just filled by Alexander. She first waited for Alexander to drink it and then she took a sip.

Just one sip and her eyes widened. She felt so warm in her mouth. And as the liquid went down through her throat to her stomach, the feeling of warmth intensified. She felt like throwing her clothes away and getting naked. The taste too, was amazing. Spicy and hot was what they all liked in the north.

"This... This drink is indeed worthy of North." She praised.

"Haha, thank you, then. I am the sole brewer of this and many more drinks." Alexander replied.

Olivier was taken aback. She wanted to become the next patriarch of the Armstrong family, so she already knew about most of the big business. But this was the first time she heard about Alexander's business.

Olivier was a strong-headed, sharp-minded woman who knew how to read people. She was strong in the body too as she showed fits of anger at times. But all in all, she was a woman who would stand by you if she thought you were right and you placed your trust in her.

However, when it came to dealing with people from higher up, she uses her beauty to get the answers. She knows that men lust over her and she knows how to utilize that aspect of her. But she is usually cold with most people and that earned her the name 'Ice Queen'.

Usually, she would feel others lust over her whenever they see her for the first time, but that was not the case right now. From what she felt from Alexander was just simply appreciation for her abilities. Just like any elder would have for his junior. From Dobby, she felt nothing but calmness and focus. Her charms didn't work on these two.

~Interesting. I guess I must revaluate these two.~

*BOOM*

"General, t-there...there is something in the sky. A flying car..." Buccaneer yelled.

*Bam*

Olivier smacked Buccaneer's head. "Calm down, now explain."

"No need," Alexander got up.

"That is my new invention. It's a flying machine. My men are flying it. They brought supplies to Fort Briggs." Alexander explained.
