Chapter Seventy-Five: Wrath
Regner has been a little irritated lately, although being used to kill Rego has made him feel a little upset. But he always found that this was not the only thing that was unpleasant.
He had now entered the territory of the Hawke Empire, and he was still about three or four days away from Melindel. For the first time, Regner desperately wanted to return there, because only by returning there would he be able to grasp the intelligence of the entire empire. Only then could he figure out where his uneasiness came from.
"Your ......Excellency," the coachman outside spoke, because Regner came back more suddenly this time, so there was only one coachman and two attendants with him. Naturally, Regner sat in the carriage, with two retinues outside on horseback, and the coachman in charge of catching the carriage.
At this moment the carriage stopped, and the coachman spoke, as if something was going on.
"What's wrong?" Regner asked.
"Someone asked to see him, and he said his name was Snow. The coachman replied, though he had been following Regner as a coachman. But the driver had only been in charge of driving Regna, and strictly speaking, he had not even entered the high-level area of MIA. So the coachman naturally didn't know Snow.
"Snow?" Regner frowned, the last time Snow came to look for him, he let himself rush to Iniris in time, why did he come here again this time? Could it be that something happened to Inriris? No...... Little Yini was only frightened at the time, but the injury was not serious. Regner also relented and ran north because the doctor gave Innellis a guarantee that she would be alive in a few days.
Regner took a deep breath and pulled back the curtain on the carriage door. At this time, Snow was standing quietly in front of the carriage, waiting for Regner to summon him.
"Let him in!" Regna stopped doubting after confirming that it was Snow, he still trusted this Stoke man more, after all, if it wasn't for him last time, Innellis would have been really dangerous......
"Your Excellency. Snow had some beads of sweat on his forehead at this time, and his eyes were a little tired, but he still saluted Regner first, and then began to say to Ragner in a steady and calm tone: "There is one thing, I think you may be in a hurry. ”
Say. Regner frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to intensify.
"Before I speak, please make sure that you are calm. Because now that things are settled, you don't have to panic too much. Snow added cautiously.
"......" Regner chuckled in his heart, but he calmed down according to Snow's words, and then nodded: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"That's right. Snow took a document from his pocket and handed it to Regner, and said simply, "Just a few days ago, the Stoke Imperial army, under the command of a general named David, with the cooperation of the Red Flame Sorcerer Saron, launched a surprise attack on us with the group teleportation technique. And the target location of the surprise attack...... It's the Costa Fortress. ”
"Bang!"
Regner's fighting spirit exploded in an instant, and the pure black shadow fighting energy directly broke through the structure of the carriage, startling several people around.
Snow was not surprised by Regner's reaction, he just continued in a calm tone, "Your Excellency, please calm down, Miss Erin is fine. ”
Regner's pupils regained a little luster, and he tried to restrain his anger, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Is she really okay?"
"Yes, Miss Erin is now in a barracks in Locke's Province. It is currently very closely protected. Snow quickly replied.
"......" Regner's face softened a little more, and he asked, "And what about Costa Fortress?
"The fortress of Costa has fallen. Snow bowed his head slightly in condolences: "General Tamuro, as well as the high-ranking mage who guarded the fortress, Mr. Puscoe, have given their lives for the Empire. ”
"Click, click......"
Regner's hands clenched vividly, though he had been a little unhappy with Tamro's unceremonious invocation for a while. But no matter how you say it, Regner still respects the supreme commander of this fortress. At the very least, he was a respectable military man.
And now that he heard that Tamro died in the Costa Fortress, a lot of the reason was that the intelligence of the military intelligence department was not transmitted in time, so he couldn't help but feel guilty and angry about it.
"Why?" Regner asked in a low voice, "Even if the Stoke Empire acts secretly, it is impossible for such a large-scale military operation to go unheard! What are those informants hiding in the Stoke Empire doing!"
"Your Excellency......" Snow lowered his head: "I have checked before, and they have indeed reported this matter, and more than once." ”
"Then why didn't I know about it until now, until the Costa Fortress fell?!" Regna scolded.
"It is said that ......" Snow lowered his head, "It is said that the person who took over this information at that time...... It's Lord Alex......"
"Boom!"
Regner fell into a rage again, Alex! Alex again! Since he took over this matter, there can only be one explanation for why this is happening. He, Alex, had secretly withheld this information!Was he calculating the army at Costa Fortress?or...... He's scheming on Erin?
Regner was furious, and he didn't bother with Alex before he used him as a gunman to kill Rego. Unexpectedly, he even buried a mine for himself. What the hell was he going to do! What was he going to do! Was it his idea? Or was it the idea of Vellais and his Lunaris Thieves Guild?
"You'd better pray not to see me again!" thought Regner through gritted teeth.
"My lord......" Snow was rushed by Regner's outburst of vindictiveness just now, he saw that Regner was about to go crazy again, and hurriedly walked over: "Your lord, you are angry, you should have more important things to do now." ”
"......" Regner stared at Snow with cold eyes for a moment, and then he asked coldly, "I remember, you are the one promoted by Alex?"
"Yes......" Snow felt a pang in his heart, he knew that now he would be killed by Regner on the spot if he was not careful. He acknowledged the fact before he said, "But I'm not Lord Alex's men, nor am I his eyeliner. Please be aware of this. ”
"Mingcha?" Regner sneered: "Alex promoted you from an ostracized foreigner to the acting director of the Military Intelligence Service in just half a year. Even so, you're going to say you're not his lackey?"
"My lord!" Snow said stubbornly, "Snow has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and his sister is the most important person in Snow. Then she died, and you were the one who gave Snow a second life. Snow may have been blessed by Lord Alex, but in my opinion, you are the one who has truly been kind to me. Otherwise, why would Snow come to you at the risk of suspicion?
"......" Regner was silent as he asked Garona, "Teacher......"
"I'm not sure if he's telling the truth, but at least for now, nothing has anything to do with him. And don't forget that you have more important things to do right now. Garona replied.
"I see......" Regner calmed down, then affirmed Garona's suggestion.
"Listen. Regner opened his mouth and said to Snow, "I'm not going to pursue your relationship with Alex now. Now, you go back with me first, I'm going to find Erin. ”
"Thank you for your trust. Snow finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he realized that something was wrong when he knew that the attack information on the Costa Fortress had been deducted by Alex. Regner will definitely doubt his relationship with Alex because of this! So, he ran out and admitted his mistake before Regner found out about it. Now it seems that I have made a very wise choice.
"Let's go!" Regner looked at the somewhat tattered carriage, and then said to the others, "You get the horses out first, I have something urgent to get back." ”
"Your Excellency......" Snow spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Regner couldn't help but frown.
"That's right. Snow replied cautiously, "Before I left Melindell, I asked the Court Mage Guild for two teleportation runes. You can use this to contact the Court Mage Guild directly and have them teleport you back. I've already said hello over there. ”
"Good!" Regner nodded in satisfaction. Although this Snow has been silent, he does things carefully and steadily, could it be that he really blames him?
"Then the three of you will ride back on your own, and Snow and I will rush back first. When you go back, just report to the place by yourself. Regner instructed the three.
"Yes!" The three attendants could also see that Regner was not in a good mood right now, so they hurriedly responded.
......
A few minutes later, Regner walked out of the teleportation circle at the headquarters of the Court Mage Guild.
"Thank you. Regner nodded to the court mage who was helping him teleport.
"It's an honor to serve Lord Regner. "Naturally, this mid-level mage will not put on a stinky stand in front of the head of the Military Intelligence Department.
Regner nodded to him again, and left with Snow.
"Do Anne and Enie know about this?" asked Regner as he walked.
"I don't know, Miss Annelot and Innellis are currently concentrating on the study of magic cannons. After some discussion with Lord Goethe, I decided to hide the matter from them for the first time. Snow replied.
"You're doing a great job. Regner nodded, and couldn't help but look up at him a little more. He thought for a moment as he walked, and then said, "Now you go around and prepare the horses and the necessities of the journey, which I will need to leave Melindale in two hours." ”
"Snow understands, I'll take care of this. Snow nodded.
