Chapter Seventy-Four: Calculation
"You'd better give me an explanation! Lufas! What the hell is going on! Duke El Barea slammed the table and lashed out at the other end of the communicator - although he was a cold and sinister man, he had almost never vented his emotions so openly, which showed that he was very angry now—in addition to complaining about his own incompetence, it was also one of the reasons why his emotions were now a little out of control.
That is, the eldest son in front of him, who has always had high hopes for him, is known as the leader of the young generation of the aristocracy, and his own incomparably important eldest son, since the beginning of the civil war, after promising the old fox of Duke Kane and becoming the general staff of the bullshit aristocratic coalition army, has never given himself any really useful help.
That's all it was at the earliest time - Helmut was stupid, but he was also a little self-aware. He knew that he would never be able to fight the Kane Gong who had been preparing for the civil war for many years and had countless hole cards in his hand - a direct seizure of power would only make him completely unable to share the big cake of the fruits of the victory in the civil war. In this sense, there is really nothing to say about himself who was persuaded by Lufas at that time, and it is a safer way to let Lufas, a young nobleman who is quite influential among the young nobles, come forward. But what exactly did Lufas do after that?
First of all, when the war situation was at its most anxious, he completely ignored the Elbariana family, who was his family and solid backing, and devoted himself to the affairs of the Duke of Kane and made suggestions for the war in Lamar State - well, maybe in order to gain the trust of the Duke of Kane first, so he was negligent for a while.
Secondly, when he first encountered difficulties and the situation in Lamar State was basically stable, he ignored his calls and players, or did things perfunctorily. Sasharante was clearly shrinking its military strength, and the northern state of Notia had almost completed the blow to the regular army, and in this case, only he was still at a disadvantage, which made people laugh shamefully - so at that time, Helmut, who did not want to think about these troubles, simply moved to live in the fortress of Orolos, out of sight and out of mind.
After that, the situation in Kruchen continued to deteriorate - rumors among the nobles had begun to appear, and although the Duke of Elbariana himself had not heard the people's discussions, he knew best what the nobles were doing on the surface and in their hearts. In addition, although it has been temporarily approved by Jussi, copies of which are still occasionally sent to the city, also clearly tell Helmut that the Emerald Dull is no longer as stable as before.
In this case, the so-called reinforcements that he had asked for a long time were finally long overdue - however, it was not elite generals like "Black Whirlwind" and "Golden Rakshasa" who came, not prestigious elite troops and a large number of supplies and money, but what he didn't expect at all - a strange man dressed strangely, and a little girl who looked more serious at first glance, but was actually a bit domineering.
What the hell is the use of such a person! The Duke of Helmut howled helplessly in his heart. These two people are not from the Empire, and they don't seem to have the talent to command and lead troops in battle, and their troubles have not been solved in any way - but fortunately, the strength of these two guys is not bad visually, at least there is no problem at all to be a guard or something. In this way, the security problem that I have been vaguely worried about can be regarded as a solution.
It's no wonder that Duke El Bare thinks this way—despite the difficulties of the battle ahead, at least the regular troops of the 4th Mecha Division have never been able to counterattack. Therefore, he was not worried about the threat of the regular army.
It wasn't until a few hours ago that he received news of the defeated defenders of the front.
With trembling hands, the Duke of Elbare slowly dialed Lufas's telecommunications number.
Never so close - that group of mongrels of the regular army.
The elite vanguard team of the Fourth Mecha Division, in a month of stalemate, finally forcibly smashed the courage of the noble coalition army, which was not very strong, with more strength and stronger willpower.
The mecha soldiers who had relied on their mobility advantage to strike at those main combat vehicles were also thoroughly figured out - not so much to be figured out, but rather to the fact that the commander of the noble army did not make the best use of everything and did not give full play to the maximum value of this new type of weapon - was rushed by Craig's barbed formation.
The Fourth Mecha Division, which had not been in such a situation for a long time, let out a vicious breath - under the alternate cover of several front-line officers, they had been chasing the rout of the aristocratic coalition to the vicinity of Shuanglong Bridge, and after locking all the accumulation points and storage areas around it, they began to sweep the follow-up troops.
Now, the regular army must be nesting in the fortress to celebrate victory—the thought of this swells in the heart of Duke Elbaria, and a nameless fire rises in his heart. Ignoring the dissuasion of his old butler Arnold, he dialed Lufas's number directly.
This number was originally told by Lufas before he left that he would contact him directly unless there was something important - the usual normal contact only needs to be conveyed through the butler. However, the Duke of El Barrea was really a little unhappy this time. When Lufas sighed a little and was a little surprised to connect with his father's point, he was naturally scolded bitterly.
Of course, you, the lost dog, will be able to bark during this time. As soon as Luvas thought of this, he couldn't get angry with such a father in his heart, and he comforted him with kind words, and finally calmed his father down temporarily. Then, after thinking for a moment, he dialed Amancia's number.
"How?" As soon as they connected, Amancia's eager voice came from the communicator.
"Looks like you're doing a good job...... From the Garelian Fortress to the area around the Shuanglong Bridge, it seems that all of them have been lost. My father was angry with me just now. Lufas said awkwardly but politely, "How did you do that?" ”
"It's just a map showing all the alternate storage points and patrol handover points in the command room of the Ssangyong Bridge." Amasia said briskly, "Now, the regular army should be following that map, settling the spoils of war and encircling the patrolmen." ”
"Very good...... In this way, the prerequisites for planning are already there. "What about the other thing, then?" Have there been any strange movements in those small towns in the south lately? ”
