For the next two days, Heliga lived comfortably on the ship, eating, sleeping, and doing nothing. Duke Kane didn't seem to have much to do; The brief ceasefire between the previous and the regular army had passed, but neither side seemed to have any intention of continuing the previous fighting - the regular army had no worries, and now they were able to hold on to a fortress that was a little better than the wilderness, and in the previous two days, through the special means of Olybat, they had obtained a large number of supplies, enough for the force to be consumed for a while. As for the aristocratic coalition, there was some panic because of General Aurelia's injuries - although the matter of Heliga was not greatly exaggerated, and the people who saw him fighting Aurelia were only a few elites who were taken by Aurelia by their side, but similar rumors slowly spread. In the case that Aurelia's original team had no intention of fighting, the offensive of the noble army also came to a standstill for a while.

At present, the two sides have only formed around a few positions near the fortress and engaged in a brief standoff. Heliga was also a little relieved when she saw this - it seems that, no matter what, Aurelia is a very important force for the Duke of Kane, and in the case that she can't go into battle, the aristocratic coalition will be much less aggressive. Of course, there is probably one of the ingredients that make an effort to win him over - after all, if he can really act as a sounding board between him and Olivebart...... One less opponent is also a good thing for Kane Gong.

In particular, in the past two days, several of the envoys he had sent had failed to bring any good news from the Marquis of Rogner—and Duke Kane's face gradually became more and more difficult to look at, especially here in Heliga, and it seemed that his impatience had not been spared.

So, today, when Heliga was invited to the command room by the soldiers under Duke Kane, he saw a somewhat unexpected, but reasonable scene. A few faces that we hadn't seen in the last meeting were present at the meeting—some of the military's top officers, but Mr. Hyliga said their names had no value in remembering, and that they had only been forgotten after being introduced. However, the appearance of Vita herself in it made Heliga pay attention to it, and the presence of another person made Heliga suddenly feel that this time it was not in vain.

"I am Lufas El Barrea, Chief of the General Staff of the Noble Alliance Army. I've heard about your activity in the Civil War before...... I didn't expect to be able to meet here. "Lufas's aristocratic manners were impeccable – he kindly extended a hand of friendship to Heliga under the guidance of Duke Kane.

"Hmm...... That's where he's so good. If I hadn't understood...... He looks like this, without any pretentiousness and hypocrisy, and he really looks like a very well-educated aristocratic child. Heiliga thought to himself as he met Lufas in a pretended friendly manner. It seems that this guy is really not easy to deal with - he didn't immediately make a move on Count Amancia's side before, so it seems that he made the right choice.

We must find an opportunity to get Lufas out of the way—Heliga thought as he casually greeted the others, as he said to Duke Kane, "I have been entertained by His Excellency the Duke for the past two days. As I've said before, there are some things that I don't mind helping a little bit if I can...... However, it seems that Your Excellency does not need me. ”

"There was no fighting in the past two days, and there was no soldier's drill or anything like that...... It's better to say that kind of thing shouldn't be easy for you to get out of the way. Duke Kane smiled heartily, "However, I may need you to come with me this time." ”

"Could it be...... Are you going to go to the Marquis of Rogner ...... personally? Heliga guessed casually.

"Not Marquis Rogner, but his daughter, Miss Angelica Rogner." Lufas took over from the sidelines, "According to the information I have received, it is the eldest lady of this marquis who is really involved in foreign affairs in the Rogner family now. As for the Marquis of Rogner himself, he had been completely confined to the Marquis's palace, declaring that he would not see anyone unless His Majesty the Emperor was present in person—in this case, we were embarrassed to disturb directly. ”

"Secretary Lufas brought this news earlier." Kane Gong on the side said, "I think so...... Marquis Rogner, probably because of the actions of his daughter and "RF", was briefly set aside. Therefore, what the current Marquis of Rogner has made is not the decision he wants, but just a last resort. "So it's a good thing. ”

"A good thing?" Heliga was puzzled.

"It is much more difficult to deal with a young nobleman like Miss Angelica than with an old fritter like the Marquis de Rogner himself." "Besides, we suspect that she, like my brother, is in possession of the size of the entire territory for the time being...... It's just that, unlike Jusses, she doesn't have you by her side...... With the help of capable people like you, you can stabilize the situation...... The Marquis of Rogner was not like my father, who was devastated by a series of strange decisions...... I think she shouldn't have much confidence in the situation, and at this time, if the commander of the noble alliance comes forward in person, it should also make her feel respected, so she may agree to some initial conditions. ”

Lufas also said that under the circumstances, it is unrealistic to expect the state of Notia to return to war. However, if the supply of weapons, ammunition and other materials can be restored, it can be regarded as recovering a little loss. What do you think? ”

“…… Cough. Heliga almost didn't laugh, but he finally couldn't hold back—his heart was full of ridicule: the staff officer of the noble alliance was as stupid as Duke Kane, couldn't he see the simplest question? Marquis Rogner withdrew from the war because Angelica forced the palace? That's obviously because of the two-pronged approach of the two members of the royal family, Olibat and Elfin, and their accusations against Duke Kane! Duke Kane habitually felt good about himself, and he couldn't see such an obvious reason, even if it was not counted, how could Staff Officer Lufas, who was blown by him as an immortal and seemed to be comparable to the top strategist in the history of the empire, follow this kind of mistake?

It's just that Heliga suddenly calmed down and thought about it again - thinking of the clues he had found in Cruchen before, and the tricks that Lufas had always shown in those clues, he definitely couldn't be such an idiot. However, he just gave such a note to Duke Kane, wouldn't that be ...... He looked at Vita and saw that the latter was looking at him with meaningful eyes, so he said, "This is also one of the situations that needs to be taken into account. It's just that, apart from Senior Sister Angelica, I think it's impossible for "RF" not to pay attention to it, right? Heliga followed this line of thought, "Senior sister's side needs to negotiate, but actually, I think the Lane Forte Society will be more vigorous in cleaning up the remnants of the aristocratic faction within the company during this time...... If you're concerned about the supply of arms to Notia, you can't let your guard down on the side of the Lane Fort. ”

"Don't worry, I have already arranged it on the company's side, and President Irina won't be able to do such a decisive thing for a while." Duke Kane laughed - Haliga's performance made him feel that the boy was really thinking about himself, so he couldn't help but feel proud. However, Heliga was keenly aware of Lufas's expression—a sudden stiffness and confusion followed by thoughtfulness, how similar was Heliga to himself? It seems that his previous suspicions were not wrong, and Lufas was not unaware of the real reason, but he was playing dumb and wanted to push Kane out and make him make a fool of himself on this issue.

Of course, even if the situation is not good, there is nothing wrong with it - Heliga thought to herself. The problem between Duke Kane and the Lainforte Society must have been able to understand it himself, so he prepared early, and Lufas definitely would not be sloppy in this kind of matter, but in the matter of who influenced the attitude of the Marquis of Rogner's family now, Lufas gave Duke Kane a complete misleading. From a macro point of view, this is more like playing and teasing Kane Gong as a harlequin, but there is no actual harm to the noble alliance. If the Duke of Kane is allowed to go like this, the final result will definitely be a mess, but it will not really hurt the interests of the noble alliance...... The only thing that was damaged along the way seemed to be the only one who had lost face to Duke Kane himself.

So, what is Lufas trying to do by doing this? Could it be that he has a conflict with Kane, so he wants him to make a fool of himself like this?

"In that case, without further ado, we'll leave in the afternoon." While Hyliga was considering the matter, Duke Kane seemed to have negotiated with the others, and said with a big grin: "I will go with Lufas, and all the members of the permanent army. The soldiers under General Aurelia will temporarily replace the Rakshasa Lady who can't go out of battle. Beware of a counterattack by the regular army. As he said the last sentence, his eyes stole at Helriga and he was relieved to see that the latter did not react.

"Yes!" Several officers said in unison.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Brigadier General Volres?" Suddenly realizing that the tall man with the same brown skin as Gaius did not appear here, Heliga asked curiously.

"After what had happened before, Brigadier General Voles's original allegiance, the Marquis of Haines of Sasharante, recalled him. Although your Excellency had a slight quarrel with the Marquis because of this, ......" Lufas said softly, and when he started again, he said, "In short, since the war is not too fierce now, there is no need to worry too much about the defense of the territory. There are still 200,000 elites in Lamar State, and the fortified fortress "Juno" is still intact - so don't worry. ”

"I see...... It seems that I asked superfluous questions. Heiliga smiled a little awkwardly, "Your Excellency General, is she okay?" ”

"The recovery is good, and it is expected that I will be discharged from the hospital in less than two weeks." Lufas said gently, "But since we talked about it...... When I went to visit before, His Excellency the General ...... And Your Excellency the "Knight of the Firmament" also said, you caught the general's mecha soldier sword with your body? ”

"Sort of...... Helliga pursed her lips and simply lifted the corner of her clothes—a scar from her waist to her chest suddenly appeared, "Although there are reasons why I underestimate the enemy, I can actually be injured...... It deserves to be the "Golden Rakshasa". ”

"That's really ......," Lufas pouted, "but I don't know how powerful it is...... I've heard of it for a long time, but I can't even cut through steel with a sword...... Although it is a bit abrupt, can you understand the tip of this power? Lufas's tone was accompanied by intense curiosity, and a strange desire to fight that seemed to Heliga to be suppressed.

Could this be the so-called competitive consciousness? Heliga was keenly aware of this - think about it, Jusses once said that his swordsmanship was taught by Lufas, and Jusses himself was not bad at swordsmanship among his peers - therefore, Lufas, who is nearly thirty years old, should be a top master, no weaker than Sarah Barrestan, and even a master who has touched a higher threshold before her.

In particular, what Lufas has been doing over the years has been more of a social situation – more of a clerical job. In this case, if he still maintains a good swordsmanship strength, Lufas can indeed be regarded as a master and a genius.

It's just that...... Heiliga still didn't think something was right. Did he have some misunderstanding about his own strength? He should know that he is not an opponent at all.

Therefore, Heiliga's instinctive approach only lightly refused: "No, right...... I don't want to re-enact what hurt Lord Rakshasa in the past. You have to understand......" Seeing that Lufas seemed to be about to say something, Heliga interrupted him in an accentuated tone, "I'm not very good at showing mercy to people - especially against opponents whose strength is not matched by mine. ”

“…… You ......" Several officers were a little angry at the moment when they heard that Aurelia didn't seem to be taken seriously by Heliga. But after recalling the reality of the terrifying strength of the teenager in front of them, they all shut their mouths - they didn't even dare to make a head-on contact with the teenager's eyes.

"Really...... So, who can get into your eyes? Lufas seemed a little unprepared for this answer, and took a moment before speaking.

"Nope. There is no match for me in this world. For some reason, Helriga also suddenly had a-for-tat arrogance that wanted to confront Lufas—he said this naturally, accompanied by a sudden increase in the powerful spiritual pressure in the command room—like a huge, vibrating bell, slowly hanging over everyone's heads.

In Lufas's increasingly ugly eyes, Heliga slowly pointed out the door: "If you must feel it...... Then please. ”
