Chapter 47: The Showdown (Part II)
Today is a somewhat abrupt day for the members of "Zephyr".
The regimental commander, Luca Clausell, suddenly summoned all the group leaders and squadron leaders for a solemn meeting in the afternoon. And after the meeting, the news that the captains brought back to everyone was very abrupt.
That is, the "Hunter King" has finally made up his mind to accept the challenge of the "Red Constellation".
This duel must be evenly matched. Therefore, for the victory or defeat, it is impossible to predict - you must be prepared for the worst.
If Luca Clausell is killed, Zephyr may have a headless day. Therefore, all members of the group were informed of this news in advance in order to prepare for their future.
Faye Clauser, who learned the news, immediately broke into Lujia's room impatiently, and she wanted to ask for clarification.
It's not that she doesn't know that the regimental commander and the "God of Fighting" will have this inevitable battle sooner or later, but why did she do it without any warning?
When Faye panted and pushed open the door of Luca's room, she saw that Helriga and the regimental commander were already in the room, as if they had just eagerly discussed something.
Heliga must have been puzzled too, after all, he had only heard about such a thing not long after he had been in the group. Thinking like this, Fei also asked, "Commander...... This...... What's going on? ”
"Fei." Lujia's eyes were still soft, "You are already an official member of the West Wind, and you must know very well that I and that person will have this inevitable battle. ”
"I know." Fei's eyes were firm, "But why now?" It's very inappropriate. ”
"Why?" Lu Jia smiled slightly.
"Without any warning, how could this be—how could this happen at this time!" Fei said eagerly, "It's not to the point where you have to go!" ”
"Fei." Lujia was calm, "Now is the best time. The more this matter drags on, the more pressure it will become...... I've never felt this smooth in all these years. There has never been a better chance of victory. ”
"Captain ......" seemed to be infected by Lu Jia's momentum, and Fei's attitude was no longer so aggressive. She looked at the regiment commander with hesitant eyes, the corners of her mouth clenched slightly, and she seemed to have made a huge determination: "Regiment commander...... You think if you go now, you can win, right? ”
“…… Well. Lu Jia touched Fei's head lovingly.
“…… That's right. Fei also laughed reassuringly, that would be fine.
"I will definitely win and return to the Philippines and everyone."
"Hmm...... It's an appointment. ”
————————————————————————————————————————
When the silver-haired petite girl left Lujia's room with a reassuring expression, Heiliga, who had been standing coldly in the corner without saying a word, slowly walked back to Lujia.
"It's going a lot better than I expected." Lu Jia didn't seem to notice the young man's cold eyes at this time, and said to himself, "I thought it would take more time to convince Fei." ”
In Helika's heart, an urge suddenly surged to punch the "Hunter King" in front of him in the face.
But he held back. You can't do that now, and there's no need to ......
"Hmph, you'll regret using her trust like this." Helriga finally just said coldly, "That's ...... Foul. ”
"Don't say that. You understand why. Lu Jia smiled bitterly, "It would be more excessive to make her think that I was very likely to die in battle." ”
"You lied." Heliga looked directly at Lujia with his eyes, "You should know what such deception means in this situation. The odds of a duel between you and the "God of Fighting" will always be fifty against fifty. ”
“…… You're also involved. Lu Jia's tone also cooled, "Neither you nor the person behind you are qualified to accuse me of this matter." ”
“…… Also. Hailiga also sighed slightly, and stopped talking about this matter - he deceived Fei, Lu Jia did something wrong in this matter, but he was also the perpetrator of this matter, and he had no position to accuse Lu Jia. If you agree to that plan, you shouldn't continue to talk to Lujia like this.
"Repeat the plan one more time." "The duel would begin a week later, in the agreed place. During the duel, people from the "Zephyr" and "Red Constellations" will accompany you as witnesses to the duel......"
"That's right. In reality, the duel will start much earlier than the announced time, leaving the rest of the plan behind. The captains will quietly leave directly after the duel, and at that time...... Phenanthrene...... I'll leave it to you. ”
“…… No problem. It's just that you haven't answered my question yet......" Helriga stared at the man in front of him lightly, he tried not to let himself be contaminated with any emotions at the moment, "If Fei finds out all this...... How do I explain this? ”
“…… You decide. After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Lu Jia said, "If I can come back alive, I will naturally bear all the responsibilities...... It's just that once I die in battle, all the follow-up things at that time, what to tell Fei and what to hide, are all up to you to judge. ”
"What a surprise. Believe me so much? ”
"I've said that a long time ago. You are not as good as me on the battlefield, and I am not as good as you on the battlefield. Lujia narrowed his eyes.
"If I tell the truth, it's not impossible for your image and status in her heart to be reversed?" Heliga replied half-jokingly.
“…… It doesn't matter, although I don't believe that's going to happen...... But if she really thinks like that, it's me who made my mistake first. ”
"Hmph...... That's the only time to ...... That's it, so be it. I'll go first, I need to be quiet for a while. ”
Helliga, who walked out of the room, left Lujia's office for a long time before muttering, "Bernardo...... He actually came up with such a messy plan...... I actually used the "Hunter King" to solve my worries about the problem of the Philippines as a bargaining chip, and won the opportunity for me to share with him......"
Thinking about these silently, Heiliga, who lay back on the bed, came to mind Fei's face again-
Why, at the mention of her, I ...... so much Upset?
——————————————————————————————————
"Commander, let's leave now?" Somewhere in the republic, a strong man with countless scars on his face asked the red-haired man who took the lead.
"Yes." The man said magnificently, "That guy Lujia suddenly agreed to me...... I can't help but go to the appointment. ”
"But it seems a little sudden?"
"Hmph, that guy won't agree if he doesn't solve his own problems...... This can only mean that all the problems he was worried about have been solved, and it is precisely because of this that he can do a good job without any worries. ”
"Is your win rate higher at the moment?"
"Nope. He and I will always have the same winning rate. That's why I don't care much about the exact time. ”
“…… That's right. ”
"By the way, has Sigmund arrived?" The red-haired man suddenly remembered something, "I have an important task for him. ”
"I'm here, big brother." The voice of another red-haired strong man sounded, and the momentum was not inferior to that of the red-haired man in the main seat, "I've heard about it." The "King of the Hunters" granted your request, right? ”
"Exactly. The outcome of this duel is unpredictable, and I have to discuss with you how the Red Constellation can continue to do what we are supposed to do in the future if I can't come back. ”
"Yes, big brother." Sigmund bowed his head slightly, and then said to the bored red-haired girl behind him: "Xie Li, you go play elsewhere, I have something to discuss with the head of the group." ”
"Alas, it's boring that Randy is gone......" Shelly stretched out in boredom and left obediently.
The "red constellation" facing the same thing did not have a similar situation on the side of the "west wind". On the contrary, everyone just used a normal attitude to accept the fact that their own regiment commander had half the probability of dying in battle.
After all, the descendants of the berserker family, which has been passed down from the Middle Ages to the present, have long taken all life and death lightly and enjoyed the battlefield to the fullest, without worry!
