Chapter 226: Changing Hands, Handover
In this way, Helliga's raid to prove his combat capabilities to the senior officers of the 6th and 7th Mecha Divisions came to an end. The whole operation took only one morning, and this was when Heliga wasted a lot of time stepping and observing nearby in order to avoid the dead as much as possible. When the regular soldiers escorted at least twice as many noble soldiers to the camp, the officers could not believe it.
Later, Oliveat announced that Heliga would tell the story of what had just happened in the makeshift command roomβno officer would dare to take it seriously. A few people hurried over before they even had lunch.
In response, Halida generously allowed them to eat in the command room, which the officers naturally couldn't pull their faces to do. However, at Helriga's insistence, they reluctantly opened the unpalatable military meals and began to eat the not very moldy piece of black bread very hard.
"Is this the same kind of food treatment for your army?" In this regard, Helliga asked Olibarth.
"If it's in a well-supplied place, the military chef of the Sixth Mecha is very good at cooking poultry." A high-ranking officer next to him whispered to Heliga - apparently, the move had proven that Helriga had earned their trust, and they did now believe what Olibat had said before.
After the joke, Heliga gave a detailed account of the morning's actionβand when he spoke of the fact that he had been looking for a suitable place for a long time in search of a way to keep as few people as dead as possible, everyone below instantly understood why so many captives had been sent up the mountain just now; And when they heard that Heliga had gone to great lengths to use the regular army below as bait, but wanted to prevent them from being threatened with their lives, the officers below looked at them with admiration. And when Helliga mentioned that somewhere down the mountain, there were four mechs that had been temporarily left there due to various malfunctions and could not be moved, an officer immediately said that he would immediately ask his men to drive the several mechs they had captured before, bring back the broken mechs, and let his maintenance personnel see if they could repair them.
"There are three, including the captain's plane, probably impossible." Heiliga whispered to Olivebart, "However, there should be a lot of parts that can be removed from the wreckage that I brought back, which can be used to maintain the current ones." As for the other one, there is a possibility of salvage, but I'm not sure if the maintenance team has enough time. β
"What? Could it be ......?" Oliebart heard Heliga's overtones.
"Hmm. The fact that the patrol had not returned in time, and had not even been heard from before it suddenly lost contact, could have alerted the noble army. Although this kind of trivial matter should not be the responsibility of the "Golden Rakshasa himself", it should not take her a few days to know. It wouldn't be good if she noticed any clues...... Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to immediately carry out my plan to transfer through Sasalant. "Heliga is afraid of long nights and dreams," but it should be a few days away. In this time, let them prepare for this. β
"Hmm...... Although I don't think General Aurelia will notice ...... so quickly," said Olivebart, "but it's all the same, it makes no difference if it's a day earlier or a day later." Once you've decided, go for it. β
"Hmm. By the way, be a little more careful with your words. It's not the military strength of the Marquis of Rogner's family, it's the distribution of power after that. β
"I have some things to discuss with him." Olibat thought for a moment and said in a loud voice, "Since you all know what has just happened, and you have no opinion on him taking over my previous position, let this matter be settled." He and I have some secrets to discuss. β
Hearing this, the senior officers immediately stood up and exited the conference room one after another. There were no more suspicious glances and whispers directed at Heiliga.
"I know what you mean...... Did you have an idea about how the regular army and the nobility should get along with each other after being involved in the Balihatt incident? "Honestly, I'm grateful to you for that...... If it weren't for you, the regular army would probably be at odds with the nobles of Balyahat again, and the losses would have been too great. Thankfully, you've secured enough chips for Yusis-kun to prevent the two from meeting each other, which is bound to be at odds, and instead provide enough cushion. β
"yes...... It's not like I haven't thought about these things. But the problem is that in Notia, my old way may not work very well. Besides, the regular army over there was already weak, but Lieutenant General Sykes ...... What kind of personality he is, you must know better than me. β
"Hmm...... He's a perfect soldier in the absolute sense of the word, and from his standpoint, I don't find it strange that he does anything. What's more, there's an "RF" there. Olibat sighed, "I haven't received any definite news...... But after that, President Irina should not have really fled, but secretly hid in the city and waited for an opportunity, right? β
"Hmm...... I heard that she gave Angelica a lot of support. I fear that she will take this opportunity to ask for more from the Marquis of Rogner's family. If she did contribute enough, I don't think I would be in a position to convince her, and besides, she deserved it. However, the few people who were close to Angelica herself were not enough to really overthrow his father, so ......"
"Therefore, at this time, members of the royal family need to come forward...... Elfin alone may not be enough, but if I were to join us, the credit would be passed on to us. "......I see," Oliebart realized. I understand. I know it in my heart, so you can rest assured. β
"That's good." Hyliga nodded solemnly, "Stay in touch the same way I told you before...... By the way, I managed to convince a group of "Northern Hunters" who are currently serving as escorts for Her Royal Highness. But in fact, their combat ability is quite good, and it seems a bit redundant to serve as a guard for Her Royal Highness in the city of Balyahat, which is not dangerous...... If possible, do you want to rearrange something for them to do? β
"And then the big commission for hiring them goes to me?" Olibart grinned.
"Yes." Heiliga said as a matter of course, "After the end of the civil war, you are the hero who ended the civil war ahead of schedule, and when the time comes, I will go to His Majesty for reimbursement, I don't believe he will disagree." β
"......" Olivebat was completely speechless.
