Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 1083: Sudden provocation (two in one)

For the next two days, Helika lived a life of eating, sleeping, sleeping, and doing nothing all day long on the boat. Duke Kane seems to have nothing for him to do; the short ceasefire period with the regular army has passed, but neither side seems to have the intention to continue the previous war-the regular army has no worries, and now they can stick to it. In a fortress that was a little better than the wilderness, and in the previous two days, through Oribat's special means, a large amount of supplies was obtained, which was enough for this troop to consume for a while. As for the aristocratic coalition, it was because of the injuries of General Alleria that the military was panicked. Although Heliga’s affairs were not exaggerated, and the people who saw him fighting Alleria were only a few people who were killed by Alleria. Ya brought the elite around him, but similar rumors slowly spread. When Alleria's original squad had no intention of fighting, the offensive of the noble army also stalled for a while.

At present, the two sides are only arranging troops around a few positions near the fortress for a brief confrontation. Heliga felt relieved when he saw this—it seemed that, anyway, Alleria was a very important force for Duke Kane. In the case that she could not go out, the aggression of the noble coalition would be reduced a lot. . Of course, there is probably one of the elements of making efforts to win him in. After all, if he can really act as a microphone between him and Olibat... one less opponent is also for Kane. It's a good thing.

In particular, in these two days, the several envoys he sent out failed to bring any good news from the Marquis Rogner-Kane's face gradually became more difficult to look, especially here in Heliga , It seems that he is also impatient.

So, today, when Heliga was invited to the command room by the soldiers under Lord Kane, he saw something unexpected but reasonable. Several faces that were not seen during the last meeting appeared in this meeting-some senior military officers, but Heliga stated that their names are not worth remembering, and they just forgot after listening to the introduction. However, the presence of Wei Ta himself made Heliga pay attention to it, and the existence of another person made Heliga suddenly feel that this time was not in vain.

"I am Rufas El Barrea, the Chief of Staff of the Noble Alliance Army. I have heard of your activeness in the Civil War before... I didn't expect to be able to meet here." Rufas' Noble Etiquette Impeccable—under the guidance of Duke Kane, he amicably extended a hand of friendship to Heliga.

"Well...this is his power. If it hadn't been for I had understood...he looks like this, without any pretentiousness and hypocrisy, he really looks like a very educated noble child." Hai Liga secretly thought while meeting with Rufas pretendingly. It seems that this guy is really not easy to deal with-he didn't immediately act on the Earl of Amancia before, so it seemed to be the right choice.

You must find an opportunity to find a chance to let Rufas go out of the way-Heliga thought so, while greeted a few other people casually, it was a greeting, and then said to Kane: "These two Your Excellency, the Duke of Heaven, has been entertained. I have said before that I don’t mind to help a little bit if I can do something... But it seems that you don’t need me."

"There has been no war in the past few days, and there is no such thing as soldier training... Rather, that kind of thing shouldn't let you out easily, right." Kane smiled openly, "However, it is indeed possible this time. I need you to come together."

"Could it be... you are going to find the Marquis of Logna yourself...?" Heliga guessed casually.

"It's not the Marquis of Logner, but his daughter, Miss Angelika Logner." Rufas took the conversation from the side. "According to the news I got, the Logner family is really involved in foreign affairs. It was the eldest lady of the Marquis. As for the Marquis of Logna, she was completely closed in the Marquis City Mansion and declared that she would not see anyone unless it was His Majesty the Emperor. In this case, we would not be embarrassed to interrupt directly. ."

"Qing Rufas brought this news earlier." Kane said, "I think it is also... Marquis Rogner, probably because of the actions of his daughter and "RF". It's emptied. Therefore, what the current Marquis of Logner made was not a decision he wanted, but a last resort. "Kane said with pride, "So, this is a good thing. "

"Good thing?" Heliga was puzzled.

“It’s much harder to deal with young aristocrats like Miss Angelika than with old fritters like Marquis Logna himself.” Lufas explained, “Besides, we suspect that she is like my brother, temporarily Mastered the size of the entire territory...but, unlike Euses, there was no you by her side...you are able to help stabilize the situation...the Marquis Rogner was not like my father. That way, because of a series of weird decisions, the heart is lost... I think she should not be too sure about the situation. At this time, if the commander of the noble alliance comes forward in person, she should feel respected. , Thus agreeing to some initial conditions, maybe."

"Qing Lufas also said that under the current circumstances, it is no longer realistic to expect Notia State to re-enter the war. However, at least if the supply of weapons, ammunition and other materials can be restored, it can be regarded as possible. Recover a little loss. What do you think?"

"...Cough." Helija almost didn't laugh, and finally held back-his heart was full of ridicule: the staff of the dignified aristocratic alliance was as stupid as Duke Kane, and I couldn't see the simplest problem. ? Marquis Rogner withdrew from the war because Angelica forced the palace? That's obviously because of the two-pronged approach of the two royal members, Oribat and Alfin, and their accusations against Kane! Duke Kane habitually feels good about himself, even if he doesn't see the obvious reason, the Lufas staff who was blown up by him as a god, seems to be comparable to the top adviser in the history of the empire. , Why did you follow this mistake?

However, Heilija suddenly calmed down and thought about it for a second—thinking of the clues he had found in Kruchen State, and the clues that Rufas had always shown in those clues, it was absolutely impossible for him to be like this. Idiot. However, he happened to pay this kind of attention to Kane. Isn’t that... he looked at Weita, and found that the latter looked at him with meaningful eyes, so he said: "This also needs to be considered. One of the situations. It’s just that, apart from Angelica-senpai, I don’t think it’s possible for "RF" to not pay attention, right? "Heliga continued along this line of thought, "Senior sister needs to negotiate, but in fact, I think the Ryanforte Agency will clean up the remnants of the nobles within the company more vigorously during this time... …If your consideration is the supply of arms in Nautia State, you cannot relax your vigilance on the Ryanforte Agency. "

"Don't worry, I have made arrangements on the company side. President Irina will not be able to do such a decisive thing for a while." Duke Kane laughed-Heliga's performance made him feel that the teenager is really here. For my own sake, I couldn't help being proud. However, Heliga keenly noticed Rufas's expression-it was a thoughtful moment after a sudden stiffness and doubt, how similar was it to Heliga himself just now? It seems that his previous suspicions are not wrong. Lufas is not ignorant of the real reason, but he is pretending to be stupid and wants to push Kane out and make him embarrassed on this issue.

Of course, even if the situation is not so good, there is actually no problem-Heliga thought to himself. The problem between Kane and Ryanforte must be understood by himself, so he made preparations early, and Rufas definitely will not be sloppy on this kind of thing, only who is it? Rufas gave Duke Kane a complete misguide on the things that affected the attitude of the Marquis Logner family. From a macro point of view, this is more like playing and teasing Kane as a harlequin, but there is no actual harm to the noble alliance. If Duke Kane is allowed to go like this, the end result will definitely be a grief, but it will not really harm the interests of the noble alliance... The only thing that is harmed on the way, it seems that Duke Kane’s own face is saved. .

So, what exactly does Rufas want to do? Could it be that he and Kane are in conflict and want to make him foolish like this?

"In that case, it should not be too late. We will leave in the afternoon." As Heilijia was considering this matter, Duke Kane seemed to have negotiated with others, and said with a grin: "I and Ching Lufas, and Everyone in the permanent army, go. The soldiers under General Alleria, let's take the place of the lady "Raksha" who can't go out. Beware of counterattacks by the regular army. "When he said the last sentence, his eyes secretly looked at Heliga, and he was relieved when he saw that the latter did not respond.

"Yes!" the officers said in unison.

"Speaking of which, why didn't I see Brigadier General Vores?" Heliga suddenly found that the tall man with the same skin as Gaius' brown did not appear here, and asked curiously.

"After what happened before, the target of Brigadier General Vores' original allegiance, the Marquis of Haynes of Sacharant State, recalled him. Although your Excellency had a bit of quarrel with the Marquis, but..." Rufas He said softly, and when he started again, he said: "In short, since the fighting is not too fierce now, there is no need to worry too much about the defense of the territory. There are still 200,000 elite and strong fortresses in Lamar State. "Also still intact-so don't worry. "

"So...it seems that I asked extra questions." Heliga smiled embarrassingly, "Is she okay, General?"

"The recovery is in good condition. It is expected that within two weeks, he will be discharged from the hospital." Rufas said gently, "However, since I'm talking about this... When I visited before, the General... and Your Excellency "Knight of the Blue" also said, did you catch the general's mecha sword with your body? "

"Forget it..." Heliga curled her lips and lifted a corner of her clothes altogether-a scar from the waist to the chest appeared abruptly, "Although there is a reason why I underestimate the enemy, it can actually hurt me... It is "Golden Rakshasa." "

"This is really..." Rufas curled his lips. "It's just that I don't know how powerful this is... Although I've heard about it, I can even cut steel with a sword that easily... It's abrupt, but can you get a glimpse of this power from now on?" Rufas's tone was accompanied by intense curiosity, and what seemed strange to Heliga, seemed to be suppressed by his efforts. .

Is this the so-called sense of competition? Heilija felt this keenly-thinking about it, Juss once said that his swordsmanship was taught by Rufas, and Juss's own swordsmanship was not bad among his peers-therefore, Rufas, who is nearly 30 years old, should be a top master, not weaker than Sarah Barrestan, and even touched a master with a higher threshold earlier than she.

In particular, the things that Rufas has done over the years are actually more social occasions-more clerical work. In this case, if he still maintains a good swordsmanship strength, Rufas is indeed a master and a genius.

It's just... Heliga still thinks it's not quite right. Does he have any misunderstandings about his own strength? He should know that he is not an opponent at all.

Therefore, Heliga's instinctive approach only faintly refused: "No way...I don't want to reappear the things that hurt the Lord Rakshasa before. You have to understand..." Seeing what Rufas seemed to want to say, Heliga increased his tone and interrupted him, "I'm not very good at showing mercy to people--especially to opponents whose strength cannot match me. "

"...You..." When the officers heard that Alleria seemed not to be taken seriously by Heliga, they were a little angry at the moment. But after recalling the reality of the terrifying power of the youngsters, they all closed their mouths--they didn't even dare to make a positive contact with the young boy's eyes.

"Really...then, who can come in your eyes?" Rufas seemed unprepared for this answer, and said after a while.

"No. There is no match for me in this world." For some reason, Heliga also suddenly felt arrogant to confront Rufas-he said this naturally, accompanied by the command room. Suddenly aggravated powerful spiritual pressure-like a huge, vibrating bell slowly shrouding everyone's head.

In Rufas's gradually becoming ugly eyes, Heliga slowly pointed out the door: "If you must feel it... then please."
